Xu Rong's cruel methods did anger Yu Fuluo, which made Yu Fuluo mobilize all the troops that the Huns could mobilize, and then he gathered up a 50,000 army. The 50,000 army led by the parent-child of the Right Xianwang Qubei, and surrounded a Niyang City.

"Xu Rong, as a famous general of the Han Dynasty, why are you so cruel? Even the old, weak, sick and disabled? If a villain like you is not dead, it is simply unreasonable. Today, I led a hundred thousand troops to siege the city, not to seek your city, but to capture you and tear you to pieces to repay the dead tribesmen!"

Under the city, Gebei gritted his teeth at Xu Rong and cursed.

However, Xu Rong did not care at all and sneered: "You are cruel to those who kill you. What about you Huns slaughtering us Han people? Not to mention anything else, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you killed more than tens of thousands of Han people? This time, in order to plot against my Niyang City, you cruelly killed Duan Wei, the prefect of the northern part of my Han Dynasty, and slaughtered 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and civilians. We do this to revenge on you. If you have the ability, you will also break through my Niyang City and have a massacre of our army. If you don't have this ability, don't talk nonsense. Go back to your Huns' court."

"Okay, okay, you are brave enough! I hope that when I capture Niyang City, your mouth will still be so hard!" Gebei was so angry that he was furious and immediately ordered the army to attack the city.

Only the sound of killing under the city was heard shook the sky, and the Huns attacked the city like a tide.

However, the Xiongnu siege equipment was already simple, and with the hasty attack, Xu Rong was well prepared and his commanded soldiers were in high spirits. The final result was imagined that the Xiongnu attacked for two hours, and except for harvesting three or four thousand dead bodies, they had no gains.

In desperation, Goubei had to order the troops to retreat, and then discuss the plan to attack the city with his generals.

During this process, I learned that there was a broken wall in the northeast corner of the city. If I focus on attacking here tomorrow, I will definitely be able to open a gap from here.

When Goubei heard this, he was very happy and ordered to continue to attack the city tomorrow, with the focus on the broken city wall at the northeast corner of Niyang City. In order not to let the enemy see the flaws, he focused on the feint attacking the southwest corner when he first launched an attack.

However, when the attack was launched the next day, Qubei looked desperate, because all the walls were covered with thick layers of ice, which not only blocked many swords, but also added a lot of difficulties to the soldiers climbing the walls. As for the originally damaged northeast corner, because the additional layer of ice was not only as intact as before, but also became stronger and had no flaws to find.

"Who came up with such an immoral idea?" Qubei couldn't help but scolded him when he saw this, and at the same time forced the soldiers to launch an attack. As a result, it can be imagined that the Huns lost another four or five thousand people. The four or five thousand people lost today were different from yesterday, because more than a thousand of them fell down and died when they climbed the city because the city wall was too slippery.

I don’t know that the person who came up with this idea was not Xu Rong, but Xu Rong’s military advisor Lou Gui. This was the first time Lou Gui was sent out, but it played a very important role in it. The way to splash water into ice to repair the city wall was the clever plan proposed by Lou Gui. This strategy caused the Huns to suffer a lot, but also left the Huns helpless. In the end, there was no way to get rid of Huns and could only retreat hatefully.

However, what is unexpected is that after just leaving, the sound of horse hooves rumbling from behind was heard, and it was the Han army who took the initiative to hunt down.

Gibe did not make any defense at all. In addition, he had just lost his morale. When he saw the Han soldiers running towards him like a tide, the Xiongnu camp was in chaos. The soldiers fled and trampled on them and more than 10,000 people died. The blood dyed the vast snowfield red.

He led a 50,000 army to come in a fierce manner, but he didn't expect that he would lose more than half of it within a few days. Such heavy losses made him frightened and he never dared to stay. He directly abandoned the surrounding counties and fled back to Shangjun.

Although Shangjun nominally belonged to Bingzhou of the Han Dynasty, in fact, under the control of the Xiongnu He, they operated here for many years and built many large pastures, becoming the capital for the Xiongnu cavalry to go south.

After his army fled to Shangjun, Xu Rong would not continue to chase his army. However, he did not expect that Xu Rong would leave Lou Gui to command a thousand troops and restore his rule over the entire Niyang. However, he personally led the remaining 4,000 people to walk far behind the army. He waited for the camp in the evening to rest and launched a sneak attack again. This battle was different from the last time. The Huns have now become frightened birds and ran away without any resistance. During the escape, the Huns soldiers fought for roads and killed each other, and trampled on each other and died tens of thousands of people.

This time he went to Bei so scared that his soul was almost gone. The 50,000 troops he brought were the ultimate force that the Huns could piece together. He originally thought that he could defeat Xu Rong in one fell swoop and give the Han a warning, but he did not expect that the loss of troops reached such a level. Only less than 20,000 troops were left. Such a little force would be difficult to even protect himself, let alone attacking the Han.

So in a helpless manner, he went to the county of Beilianqi Diaoyin, Dingyang, Gaonu and others, and ran to the county of Shangjun in one breath. Later, he felt unsafe and retreated to Yuanyin, which was close to the Great Wall. Only then did the Yuanyang area stop.

In this battle, he ran from Niyang, the southernmost tip of the north, to the Great Wall area at the northernmost tip of Shangjun. The lost territory was 1,670 miles from south to north. Later, because Pei Qing, the governor of Bingzhou of the Han Dynasty, ordered Taiyuan prefect Wang Ling to take the opportunity to occupy the Xihe County, Pingzhou, Zhongyang, Lishi, Linxian, Gaolang and other counties in his west. The land lost by the Xinu was about 1,200 miles from Fuping, the easternmost tip of the Xishi County, and the westernmost tip of the Ximen was about 1,200 miles, totaling three counties, Shangjun and Xihe County, with hundreds of thousands of people losing and countless food and supplies.

Even if he ran so far, he was worried that Xu Rong would chase him again, so he was very careful. Fortunately, Xu Rong did not launch an attack in the following time, which made him feel slightly relieved, but he did not dare to be careless again. He sent people to inspect closely every day, for fear that Xu Rong's army would appear in front of them like a divine weapon coming from the sky.

At the same time, he arranged for the generals under his command to guard the camp. He only brought a small number of followers except the Great Wall to the northern Shanyu royal court to meet the Xiongnu Shanyu Yufuluo.

"What? You, what did you say? The 50,000 troops are only less than 20,000? Go, do you want to piss me to death?" Yu Fuluo was shocked after hearing the news. He really didn't expect that his army would shrink so much in just a few days. After this battle, the strength of the entire Southern Xiongnu was greatly weakened. Not to mention plundering from the outside, it would be difficult to protect himself. Moreover, they also lost the vast territory of the three counties, which means that they had lost the vast pastures and it was almost impossible to develop again in the future.
