Just like the Battle of Chenjia Village and the Battle of Yanshan, which encircled and annihilated the main force of the Xiongnu!
The tobacco burned in Fox Wolf Gully this time was also 'wolfsbane', the same formula, the same therapeutic effect...
The Rouran army was instantly blinded and scattered in all directions!
150,000 people were stuck in Fox Wolf Gully... and overhead, a dense hail of arrows rained down!
The Rouran Khan was blinded by the smoke and, in a fit of rage, he killed six or seven guards around him, having fallen into a mindless, frenzied state!
Meanwhile, a massacre was unfolding in the Rouran royal court's old camp...
Because Dugu Yan's Tuoba tribe also wanted to protect the fruits of victory obtained from Zhongshan State in Gujun, they did not send all their troops to participate in the battle!
Jiang Ming's mission for Dugu Yan was to attack the Rouran people's main camp and eliminate all resistance, but not to kill the elderly, children, or women!
Last time, Jiang Ming directly massacred the Xiongnu's main camp, which brought a series of adverse consequences... making him realize the 'mistake' of doing so.
However, when Dugu Yan arrived at the old camp, she found that there was no fighting force left.
Almost all of them were elderly people, women, and children...
The Rouran people brought almost all the men who could go to the battlefield this time!
According to the rules of the grasslands, children under the wheels of a cart cannot be killed!
But Dugu Yan's eyes swept over the thousands upon thousands of Rouran elders, women, and children kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy, and he simply pushed the wheels of the cart over...
In a short time, apart from the hundred beautiful women that the Zhongshan Kingdom had presented as tribute to the Rouran Khan, not a single Rouran person was left alive in the entire Rouran camp!
The scene... was truly one of corpses strewn across the field and blood flowing like a river!
Dugu Yan's logic in thinking about this matter was very simple: if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze!
She wanted to completely wipe the Rouran people off the grasslands, make them disappear from the stage of history, and leave no trace behind!
Otherwise, the Great Khan might pick out one or two Rouran noblewomen from among them for a united front, just like he wanted to marry his aunt, Changsun Yuenu. In that case, he would have another rival in love!
As for those one hundred beauties from the Central Plains...
Dugu Yan is very shrewd. She has already figured out Jiang Ming's "pulse" and knows that these hundred beauties are not a threat to his love!
The Khan is only interested in women of 'political value'; he is not interested in ordinary beauties at all!
What Dugu Yan truly feared was that, besides Changsun Yuenu, her Xiongnu aunt, there was also the Khan's mistress's regime on the grasslands, which she could not tolerate!
As for these one hundred beauties, they are all women from the Central Plains. If they are returned to the Great Khan, he might even praise them.
In this way, her crime of disobeying the king's orders would be offset!
After wiping out the Rouran's old camp, the Tuoba cavalry, carrying countless spoils of war, turned back and transported them back to Gu County!
Of course, there's also that fake golden wolf in there!
......
Dugu Yan's troops completed their mission, while the fighting in Fox Wolf Gully intensified!
The terrain of Fox Wolf Gully is quite different from that of the Yanshan Mountains.
Although it is also a winding gully, the terrain on both sides is not very narrow!
With 150,000 people trapped inside, there is still a glimmer of hope if they insist on breaking out!
The main problem is that they can't see, and they're all running around like headless flies!
As Jiang Ming's 5,000 archers kept firing arrows, Changsun's 30,000 cavalry archers also arrived!
They skillfully maneuvered and relentlessly shot down the fleeing Rouran soldiers...
The Xiongnu soldiers who had been fighting the Rouran also arrived at this time. They were bloodthirsty and determined to take back their ancestors' golden wolf today!
If we say that at Wild Fox Ridge, the two sides are still clashing head-on!
At this moment, it had completely turned into a one-sided massacre!
As the number of guards around the Rouran Khan dwindled and the encirclement tightened, the number of guards around him decreased.
Jiang Ming rode his horse and charged straight into the enemy formation, heading straight for the Rouran Khan!
The Rouran Khan's eyesight had not fully recovered, and he swung his saber wildly, cutting down enemies. Even his personal guards dared not approach him...
Jiang Ming seized the opportunity and beheaded the Rouran Khan with a single stroke!
Upon seeing their Khan killed, the Rouran soldiers immediately ceased resistance, kneeling and begging for mercy...
But Jiang Ming's county soldiers and Changsun's cavalry ignored them and continued to slaughter the Rouran soldiers. For a time, the Rouran people fell into despair, collapse, and severe doubt about life!
Flames soared into the sky, screams filled the air, and blood stained the entire Fox Wolf Gully red...
The entire Rouran army of 150,000 was annihilated in Fox Wolf Gully, their corpses covering the ground!
And the golden wolf ultimately fell into Jiang Ming's hands...
It could only be in his hands, because he was just pretending to be confused and rummaging through the clothes of the Rouran Khan's corpse... that thing was originally on Jiang Ming's body!
The order to completely annihilate them was arranged by Jiang Ming beforehand, so just like the main force of the Xiongnu before them, the Rouran cavalry did not leave a single survivor!
When the battlefield was being cleaned up, the remaining Hun soldiers saw their ancestor's golden wolf in Jiang Ming's hands, and they all looked at each other in confusion and bewilderment!
At this moment, the Xiongnu's "insiders" who had already been bribed by Jiang Ming shouted one after another: "Since the Golden Wolf has finally fallen into the hands of the Prime Minister, then the Prime Minister is our new Chanyu!"
