There was no major battle, and forty to fifty thousand Xiongnu people died in the flood.
Qiangqu Chanyu fell from his horse and died, and Zuo Xianwang Huchuquan led his remaining troops in a hasty retreat back to Yunzhong.
Meanwhile, the Left Grand Commandant, located south of Shanwu, received news of Qiangqu's defeat immediately.
He was terrified and hurriedly ordered the six thousand troops stationed at the key passes of Yanmen and Shanwu to retreat immediately, intending to return to Luo County via the original route.
Then they crossed the Yellow River and returned to Meiji.
With the Yellow River blocking their way, Shanwu's Han army couldn't break through in a short time.
This would also allow the Left Grand Commandant to catch his breath and discuss with the Left Prince Guli, who remained in Meiji, whether to relocate the 100,000 women and children of Meiji.
Or they could head north to join forces with the Left Wise King, support Huchuquan as the Chanyu, and continue fighting against this Han army.
Only after returning to Meiji did Zuo Daduwei know what to do next.
However, the thousand Han soldiers besieged in the ruined city must also be eliminated first.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of coarse salt and pig iron, along with a thousand sets of armor, can greatly enhance one's strength!
However, almost five days have passed, and the commander of a thousand cavalrymen arranged by the Left Grand Commandant to surround the Han army has launched several attacks, but they still haven't managed to take down Ding Yuan's thousand men.
This filled the Left Grand Commandant with both fear and anger.
The Left Grand Commandant decided to take action first thing tomorrow morning, and the entire army should evacuate from this place immediately.
Otherwise, the Han army in Shanwu City, which is like a god of death, might attack at any time.
After all, Qiangqu was dead and Huchuquan had fled north, leaving all the Southern Xiongnu tribes remaining in Dingxiang in a state of panic and confusion.
These Han soldiers, however, were already sharpening their swords!
Thinking of all this, the Left Grand Commandant ordered the entire army to pack up their baggage and gather their horses that very night.
He was also in a daze and went to bed early.
The entire military camp was shrouded in tension and unease, and there were many more soldiers on night duty.
However, before the Left Grand Commandant had even slept for half an hour, a commotion arose from the north of the camp, followed by shouts of battle that echoed through the valley.
The thunderous hoofbeats echoed like muffled thunder in the sky.
"Grand Commandant, Grand Commandant, we've been attacked!"
Four or five disheveled cavalry commanders also ran over, each with sleepy eyes and a pained expression.
It was obvious that they had just fallen asleep when they were woken up.
“If someone launches a sneak attack, you should organize troops to resist. What’s the use of coming to me? I still need you guys.”
The Left Grand Commandant roared, "Whoever comes, stop them!"
"Grand Commandant, they're too fierce, we can't stop them at all!"
Just then, someone else ran in to report.
"Get on your horses, take up arms, or we're all doomed."
The Left Grand Commandant was furious.
We're supposed to retreat first thing tomorrow morning, but they launched a surprise attack the night before. How could these people be so malicious?
Just as the Left Grand Commandant and his men mounted their horses, preparing to form ranks to meet the enemy, another report came:
"Grand Commandant, these men have broken through our camp and headed southwest!"
What's the meaning?
The Grand Commandant hurriedly reined in his horse: "Southwest direction, could it be heading to the ruined city to rescue people?"
"How many of them rode over there?"
The messenger stammered, "This...it's too dark to see clearly, and we don't know how many soldiers there are."
"However, it seems the number is not large, at most a thousand people."
"That young general leading the charge is incredibly fierce; he can't withstand a single blow." The messenger was still shaken.
"What...what weapon did he use?"
Zuo Daduwei's heart skipped a beat.
In Luo County, it was a man wielding a halberd who led the charge to break through the encirclement.
If it's this same person tonight, then he's borrowed troops from elsewhere to rescue the people of that abandoned city.
"It looks...it looks like a long spear!"
Not a halberd?
The Left Grand Commandant breathed a sigh of relief, but then a ruthless look appeared on his face:
"They're disturbing our sleep in the middle of the night, they deserve to be killed!"
"He still wanted to save people; he deserves to die even more!"
"At dawn tomorrow, the entire army will march on the ruined city and cut off the heads of these thousand men, along with the thousand men in the city."
"Although Shanwu was defeated, we Xiongnu are not sheep; we will not allow ourselves to be slaughtered by them."
"As a commander of ten thousand cavalry, I will make them pay."
The next day.
The six thousand Xiongnu cavalry under the Left Grand Commandant broke camp and marched, their momentum tinged with a hint of panic.
Shortly after they left, a young general wielding a halberd, leading over a thousand men, appeared to be coming from the direction of Yanmen Pass, and galloped towards the ruined city.
......
Goodness is absent.
The next morning, the early sun rose over the eastern mountains.
Xue Rengui then mustered three thousand cavalrymen, carrying enough rations for three days, and headed towards Manhan Mountain!
He intended to cross the Manhan Mountain and enter Yunzhong ahead of time to put pressure on Huchuquan, who had fled back to Yunzhong.
Li Su and his three thousand able-bodied men had already assembled and were awaiting orders to depart.
He was so excited last night that he couldn't sleep well after being promoted to captain.
Meanwhile, Liu Du's three thousand Xianbei soldiers were also gathering.
As agreed last night, he will lead these people to sweep through the towns and villages of Dingxiang and completely eliminate the influence of the Xiongnu!
The Xiongnu commander named Pugu Huaiyu, who had won the first merit a few days earlier, led his three thousand men out of the city to continue clearing the battlefield.
At this moment, Liu Wei, who was in the temporary Marquis's residence, had already woken up.
Last night, I was overjoyed to have received the "buy one get three free" demon monk, and I also won a major battle. After discussing with my confidants, I was in a great mood.
The great victory over the Xiongnu marks a significant step forward in the ambitious goal of recovering the four commanderies of Yunzhong.
After returning to his room, Liu Wei called Diao Chan and Liu Yifei over and asked them to prepare some fine wine. The three of them drank quite a bit of wine together.
Liu Wei's alcohol tolerance is so-so, but this girl from the grasslands has a hot figure and a hot alcohol tolerance.
Liu Wei was so drunk that he was naturally unable to practice the method of copying with Diao Chan.
He embraced her delicate body and, still slightly drunk, slept until dawn.
As soon as it got light, the sun shone through the windowpane and shone on Diao Chan, who was showing most of her body.
Her skin, as smooth as mutton fat jade, was exceptionally dazzling in the sunlight.
The snow-white hemisphere has faintly visible capillaries on it.
Liu Wei was immediately aroused.
With a single reach, he firmly grasped it.
Diao Chan then let out a lazy, meowing sound, like a cat's meow.
"Chan'er, it's time to get up and do your morning exercises!"
Liu Wei whispered in her ear, which felt as soft as a baby's skin.
Breathing out hot air!
Diao Chan opened her hazy, beautiful eyes, gave Liu Wei a flirtatious glance, and shifted her shapely buttocks back slightly, seemingly waiting for Liu Wei's next move.
Hearing the song, one understands the meaning behind the strings!
Diao Chan has been trained by Liu Wei to have a telepathic connection with him.
With just a glance, or a slap on the perky butt.
She knew to change positions; she was very considerate and humane.
Just as Liu Wei was about to begin, Diao Chan suddenly frowned, covered her cherry-like mouth, and gagged.
"My lord, I...I feel a little unwell, I feel like vomiting!"
