Is there a wide but shallow "river beach" in front of me? There seems to be some water in it.
Judging from the visual angle, this "beach" is about two zhang wide, that is, six or seven meters wide, and less than half a meter deep. The Xuanyuan soldiers had already run across this "beach" and were shooting arrows at them from behind the third ridge.
Not feeling any danger, the Northern Hun cavalry rode down and just as they entered the beach, they felt that the "water level" seemed to have risen a little, as if there were boxes on both sides pouring "water" into it. When many cavalry entered the "beach", countless rockets were fired at them. The bottom of the beach was covered with kerosene, and the six or seven meter wide beach was a sea of fire. The kerosene stuck to the horses' legs and could not be removed at all, so the fire kept burning on the horses' legs.
The horses, fearing fire and in pain, ran away in panic, and the oil splashed onto the Northern Hun soldiers. Some soldiers were thrown into the "beach". Once they were touched by the kerosene, it was difficult to extinguish the fire, and they were burned to death.
Many Northern Xiongnu cavalry were forced to abandon their horses, their legs on fire, and become infantry. The Xuanyuan soldiers continued to fire arrows at them.
After more horses caught fire, frightened by the rockets in front of them, they ran back and crashed into the cavalry and infantry behind them, causing a stampede.
The infantry behind did not know what was happening and retreated like a tide.
These soldiers and horses ran all the way past the first earthen ridge before they were barely stopped by Mu Tieer.
Before they could stand firm, the Xuanyuan cavalry and infantry who had been retreating rushed over and attacked. After a round of hacking, they immediately retreated.
Mu Tie'er suffered heavy casualties, especially in the cavalry: among them, there were less than a thousand horses and soldiers who could be reassembled, and there were still two thousand infantry.
Mu Tie'er was so angry that he felt dizzy and fought back!
Perhaps because they had been hit twice, they might have forgotten the deepest ditch that was like a well, and the Xuanyuan soldiers used the same trick again and knocked down a large number of them.
At the moment of the decisive battle, the two nearby city defense points sent out a total of 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry to encircle the enemy from the side and rear respectively. The troops of Jialuhui Town were almost four to one, and they wiped out the Northern Hun soldiers in one fell swoop. Mu Tieer was killed by Chen Yun.
