In an instant, the horses neighed mournfully, and shouts of battle filled the air!
A real, bloody battle finally broke out between the men!
These soldiers of Zhao, as the elite of the Northern Army Group, had all been carefully trained by Zhao Yong.
They used the finest weapons and warhorses, and their daily diet was also the best.
Even the armor he wore was top-grade metal plate armor!
However, when they clashed head-on with the Northern Xiongnu soldiers, this disadvantage immediately became apparent!
It's not that the soldiers of Zhao were inherently weak or lacked strength, or that their military discipline was lax!
However, in warfare, experience is still very important!
In fact, sometimes, when you're really fighting on the battlefield, risking your life, with 8,000 to 10,000 people, that's the most flexible and manageable situation.

The saying "a small boat is easy to turn around" applies here!
In the midst of the battle, the more experienced Northern Xiongnu soldiers immediately demonstrated their advantage!
The two sides fought fiercely for over half an hour, with the Zhao side suffering heavy casualties, nearly half of its soldiers killed or wounded...
Meanwhile, the Northern Xiongnu still had three thousand men!
The casualty ratio between the two sides has exceeded 1 to 3!

To annihilate all the Northern Xiongnu soldiers, all 50,000 of them would have to be sacrificed!
Such a devastating loss was something the Zhao generals had not anticipated!
One can imagine that if Dugu Yan hadn't used the tactic of luring the enemy deep into the valley, leading the main force into the Wolf Valley...
The 150,000-strong army of the Northern Xiongnu, when they unleashed their full power, stormed into the Zhao state as if it were an empty land!
