He could never imagine how Hulan could have heavy cavalry.

Looking at the heavy cavalry charging around in the camp and the soldiers crying for their parents after being killed, Huhanqi suddenly felt powerless.

"Sir, the enemy is strong. Let's run away quickly."

At this time, a guard beside him hurriedly said.

"withdraw!"

When Huhanqi heard this, his expression changed, but he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He is not a fool. He can't organize an effective counterattack under the current circumstances. The only correct option is to retreat.

Upon receiving the order to retreat, the Hun soldiers fled in all directions.

"Light cavalry pursuit!"

"The heavy cavalry will support the formation and assist the infantry in destroying the enemy."

Seeing this, Li Cunxiao immediately gave the order.

Immediately, Lu Bu and Huo Qubing led the light cavalry and chased after them like hungry wolves.

The heavy cavalry cooperated with the infantry who had just arrived to strangle the enemy.

For a moment, the blood and flesh of the Hun soldiers flew everywhere, and the wailing and screaming were endless.

……

The battle lasted until dawn.

In the end, the Hun army was defeated.

In this battle, the Huns suffered more than 30,000 casualties, more than 20,000 were captured, and less than 30,000 escaped.

Huhanqi and his son escaped by chance, but Ashina died in the chaos.

Ashina was originally just cooperating with Huhanqi in the battle, but who would have thought that he would be buried with him.

"Hahaha, we won."

Standing on the city wall, looking at the Hun camp littered with corpses, Ning Quan laughed out loud.

It's one of the world's best.

This battle also established the situation in Hulun.

For at least two years, Ning Quan no longer had to worry about the Huns invading, which bought time for Hulan's development.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness."

Li Jing, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and other civil and military officials all came forward to congratulate them.

"Haha, you are too polite. This is all your contribution. I will reward you accordingly."

Ning Quan laughed out loud.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Well, now that the battle is over, let's quickly clean up the battlefield and collect the prisoners."

"Everyone, take a good rest for a few days, and then we'll celebrate your success."

Ning Quan gave the order with a smile.

"Yes!"

Soon, Li Jing and others ordered their soldiers to clean up the battlefield and collect prisoners.

One can imagine the amount of food and supplies carried by the 100,000-strong Hun army. The food alone amounted to 30,000 dan of grain, which was enough to guarantee the annual consumption of the entire Hulan City.

In addition, more than 10,000 war horses, 7,000 to 8,000 cattle and sheep, and a large number of armor and weapons were seized.

More than 10,000 war horses are enough to form a large cavalry unit.

Ning Quan also needs cattle, sheep, armor and weapons.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the harvest to be so rich."

Ning Quan's face was full of excitement.

Sure enough, war is the means to make money.

"General Li, pass the order down to throw all the Xiongnu corpses into the river and arrange for the captives to carry them away."

Ning Quan gave the order, suppressing his excitement.

It is summer now, and the hot weather will cause the corpses to rot quickly. If they are not dealt with quickly, it will easily cause an epidemic.

Less than ten miles west of Hulun City is the Ulungur River. The river is fast-flowing, and throwing all the bodies into the river is definitely the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

"promise."

Li Jing nodded and turned to leave.

Soon, the 20,000 prisoners were forced to do hard labor, carrying corpses to the river under the escort of soldiers.

At this moment, a scout came riding quickly.

"Your Highness, General Huo sent me back to deliver a letter."

The scout jumped off his horse and knelt down hurriedly.

"Oh? General Huo, what's the matter?"

Ning Quan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Your Highness, General Huo said he plans to seize the opportunity to destroy the Donghu tribe. Right now, General Huo and General Lu have already entered the Donghu territory with light cavalry," said the scout.

"General Huo said he wanted to attack the Donghu?"

"How many light cavalrymen does he have? How dare he act like this?"

Ning Quan was shocked when he heard this.

There were only more than 1,600 light cavalrymen under his command. At least 200 were lost in the previous battle, and there were less than 1,400 left.

How dare such a small number of cavalry go deep into the grassland and claim to have destroyed the Donghu tribe?

Ning Quan was shocked himself.

What courage does this take!

"Don't panic, Your Highness. There's nothing wrong with General Huo taking the initiative."

"Now that Ashina has died in battle and most of the Donghu's elite warriors have been lost, this is the perfect opportunity to destroy them."

"As for the lack of manpower, Your Highness can rest assured. Cavalry combat is different from infantry. It emphasizes rapid maneuverability, especially on the vast grasslands."

“Even if the number is small, as long as it is used properly, it can achieve unexpected results.”

"General Huo has a deep understanding of the Xiongnu, and with General Lu's assistance, there will be absolutely no problem."

Seeing Ning Quan's surprised look, Li Jing hurriedly explained.

"Yeah, I got it."

"Now that you say that, I'm relieved."

After listening to Li Jing's explanation, Ning Quan nodded.

Li Jing was right. When it came to marching and fighting, especially against the Huns, there was probably no one more suitable than Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing led six campaigns against the Huns, killing so many people that they were terrified. His military achievements were unprecedented and unmatched.

What's more, there is also Lu Bu to assist him. Lu Bu was born in the frontier and is also very familiar with foreign races.

With the two of them working together, there is absolutely no reason for them to fail. At the very least, they can ensure that they can escape safely.

"That's right, Your Highness, just wait patiently for General Huo and General Lu's triumphant return."

"But we still have to make some preparations just in case."

"My suggestion is to send a thousand soldiers to station near Liulin Fort in advance so that they can provide support at any time."

Li Jing bowed.

"Okay, you can arrange this."

Ning Quan nodded in agreement.

As I said, it’s never wrong to listen to Li Jing.

When it comes to fighting, who can compare with Li Jing?

"I obey your command." Li Jing nodded in agreement.

"Well, you guys take care of the rest. I'm going back to rest."

Ning Quan waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the county government office.

Although Ning Quan did not participate in the battle yesterday and today, he was under a lot of pressure and was in a very tense state of mind.

Now that I finally feel relieved, I suddenly feel tired.

"Husband, you are back."

"Congratulations, husband, on your great victory."

Seeing Ning Quan returning to the county government office, Li Wanyue hurried to greet him, her pretty face full of excitement and admiration.

With a hundred thousand Hun troops besieging the city, it would be a lie for Li Wanyue to say she wasn't afraid. She was even prepared to die with Ning Quan.

But who would have thought that Ning Quan would actually defeat the Huns.

"Hehe, I'm sorry to have made you worried."

Ning Quan held Li Wanyue's soft and delicate little hand and smiled.

"As long as my husband is okay, I'm fine."

"Husband, you must be tired. Wanyue asked the kitchen to make some porridge. You didn't eat in the morning. Have a bowl of porridge to warm your stomach first, and then have a good rest."

Li Wanyue said considerately.

"it is good!"

Ning Quan smiled slightly and came to the restaurant accompanied by Li Wanyue.

After dinner, Ning Quan went back to his room to sleep.

As a result, I slept until the evening.

When Ning Quan opened his eyes, it was already dark.
