On the other side, Maodun led the remnants of the Huns and rushed to Xiping Pass overnight without stopping.
Finally, at dawn, they arrived at the Xipingguan area.
As a result, they encountered the troops led by Ma Chao again.
Mao Dun was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of Ma Chao, thinking that the Qin army had set up an ambush.
However, when Mao Dun saw that Ma Chao had only four or five thousand cavalry under his command, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Ma Chao would not attack them.
How to put it, there are nearly [-] troops under Mao Dun's command at this time, and this is not counting the scattered remnants of other Xiongnu cavalry in other places.
In this battle, the Huns were defeated.
But after all, the Huns had a large number of cavalry. Even if they were defeated, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and there were still many remnants.
"Follow General Ben, remember not to stop, after piercing through the enemy's formation, don't turn around, and don't fight back."
"kill!"
As a result, Ma Chao led the army to kill him, and he was not afraid at all because of the large number of remnants of the Huns.
At this time, the cavalry of the Qin army led by Ma Chao won successive victories, which boosted their morale.
At this time, it is said that in front of them is a defeated army, that is, the Huns in their heyday. As long as Ma Chao gives an order, they dare to rush forward.
However, this time Ma Chao was not too arrogant.
The order he gave was obviously to only charge for one round, and after one round of charging pierced through the enemy, he would go away and not turn around and come back.
In the final analysis, Ma Chao was also concerned about the fact that there were too many Huns cavalry, but he didn't want to let the Huns pass easily without fighting in one attack.
Simply, just rush once.
Rumble!
"kill!"
"Damn it, these Qin people are too arrogant."
Mo Dun watched, Ma Chao led a mere 5000 cavalry of the Qin Army, and dared to charge their army, roaring angrily.
In Mao Dun's view, the Qin cavalry simply ignored their Hun cavalry, and it was a complete humiliation to them.
When did their majestic Hun cavalry be so humiliated.
"Give Ben Shanyu and eat them."
Mao Dun gave the order angrily.
Immediately, two Huns cavalry went out to fight.
After a while of fighting, Ma Chao led his troops to break through the two Huns cavalry teams and entered the main Huns cavalry group.
"Ah!"
The screams continued, and Ma Chao led his troops to kill the main cavalry group of the Huns, and the screams of the Huns cavalry came from the formation.
The morale was low and the Xiongnu cavalry who had no intention of fighting, even though there were still a lot of remnants at this time, they had all turned into sheep.
No matter how few wild wolves there are, they are still wolves.
After a hard charge, Ma Chao led more than [-] cavalry of the Qin Army, and really smashed through the main cavalry formation of the Huns.
But Ma Chao still didn't turn back.
Half a day later, Mao Dun led the remnants of the Xiongnu cavalry and finally arrived at Xiping Pass.
Then, exit from Xiping Pass.
"The Huns are out."
Ma Chao didn't chase the Huns when he saw them, and turned back soon. When he arrived at Xiping Pass, he happened to see the Huns cavalry leaving the pass.
"General, have we really won this battle? It's really unbelievable. I don't know how your Majesty's decisive battle was fought.
There were more than 20 Huns cavalry brought by Modun to participate in the decisive battle!
There are only [-] cavalry on your Majesty's side, but so many Hun cavalry were defeated in one battle. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it. "
Ma Yu stood behind Ma Chao on horseback, looking at the Hun army leaving the customs in the distance, and said in shock.
"When you go back and ask Zhao Yun and others, it will be clear.
We still have work to do.
Let's go, let's go out too.
Your Majesty has told me that if you defeat the Huns and force the Huns to leave the customs, let my troops go out together and monitor the Huns for a certain distance. "
Immediately, Ma Chao also took his generals, followed the Huns, left the Great Wall, and arrived outside the pass.
On the Jiuyuan City side, after the Huns were defeated and retreated, Lv Bu and Huang Zhong led the army, and after chasing them in the middle of the night, they also returned.
That night, Xu Feng did not lead the army back to Jiuyuan City, but let the army camp in Qingshayuan to rest.
The decisive battle between the Qin army and the Huns in Qingsha Plain was really tragic.
The entire prairie was covered with corpses, and the corpses of fallen soldiers of the two armies, the corpses of war horses and unowned horses could be seen everywhere.
It would take Qin Jun a lot of time just to clean up the battlefield.
But the soldiers of the Qin Army were extremely exhausted after a day of hard work, so Xu Feng immediately ordered the Qin Army to rest temporarily.
Then, Xu Feng sent someone to send the news of victory back to Jiuyuan City.
Let Jia Xu take the infantry, recruit some young and strong, rush over, and hand over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Jia Xu and the others.
Even Xu Feng at this time, after the day's battle, he felt exhausted. After the camp was set up, he got into his handsome tent and fell asleep directly.
This time, Xu Feng slept soundly.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that Xu Feng woke up leisurely.
"Your Majesty, you are awake."
Xu Feng stretched his waist and walked out from the handsome tent. Jin Da greeted him and said respectfully.
"Well, woke up.
Has Jia Xu brought anyone here? " Xu Feng asked.
"Returning to Your Majesty, Governor Jia arrived early in the morning with [-] soldiers and [-] young men.
The minister didn't let them alarm His Majesty, at this time the Governor Jia had already led his men to clean up the battlefield.
The generals of other ministries are also counting the remaining number of people in each ministry after the war.
When they have news, I will tell His Majesty. "
Jin Da told Xu Feng truthfully.
"Well, let's go, Jin Da, come with me to have a look."
Immediately, Xu Feng took Jin Da to the battlefield where they had a bloody battle yesterday.
I saw that on the battlefield at this time, many young and strong figures were busy cleaning up the battlefield and carrying corpses.
"This battle is miserable!"
Xu Feng muttered to himself, now he didn't dare to think about what it would be like after the casualties of the Qin army were counted.
Because the battlefield is too large, the cleaning work is very heavy.
Jia Xu took [-] young men and thousands of infantry and worked until the afternoon before finishing the cleanup.
At this time, Xu Feng finally received the report on the results of this battle from Zhao Yun himself.
"Your Majesty, the statistics are out.
In this battle, our army had 680 soldiers, a total of [-] cavalry were killed, more than [-] cavalry were injured, and more than [-] cavalry were missing.
The corpses of the soldiers, Jia Junshou has asked Qing Zhuang to retrieve them from the battlefield.
However, the bodies of the missing two thousand soldiers could never be found.
We can only find the armor and weapons they left behind on the battlefield. "
Zhao Yun reported to Xu Fenghui.
Even though Xu Feng had been mentally prepared for a long time, after hearing the numbers Zhao Yun said, he was in a trance for a while, and immediately felt a pain in his heart.
"More than half the casualties, more than half the casualties!"
A wry smile appeared on Xu Feng's face.
This is all the cavalry in the entire Qin State, a total of [-] cavalry, half of which were removed in World War I.
If Xu Feng said he didn't feel distressed, he would be lying.
But the heartache is heartache, at least they won this battle, and these soldiers of the Qin army did not die in vain.
Among the casualties of the Qin army, the soldiers who died in battle accounted for the majority, and there were not many casualties.
The main reason is that in this kind of cavalry battle, as long as you fall off your horse, it basically means death.
Either being killed by the enemy, or being dragged to death by the horses, or being trampled to death by the horses of both sides, that is the worst way to die, the real bones are gone.
As Zhao Yun said, why did the more than 2000 soldiers of the Qin army who disappeared disappeared and their bodies could not be found.
It's not about escaping or anything, that's the case.
Their corpses had been trampled back and forth by war horses countless times on the battlefield, and they had long been integrated with the soil of this grassland. How could they find their corpses.
Don't think about it, by the beginning of spring next year, the green grass on this green sand plain will definitely grow more lush than before.

"What about the casualties of the Huns?"
After Xu Feng stabilized his mood, he looked at Zhao Yun and asked.
At this time, Zhao Yun, who was in a bit of a sad mood, also became agitated, and said, "Your Majesty, I have been counted by the governor Jia.
We found a total of more than 3000 Hun corpses on the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles.
However, more than 9 Huns' skirts were found, and the bodies of more than [-] missing Huns have not been found. "
"In other words, we killed more than 9 Huns in this battle?"
"Yes, Your Majesty.
This is not counting the previous achievements of General Ma Chao.
If it is considered that General Ma Chao beheaded more than [-] Xiongnu heads, this time the Huns went south, leaving at least [-] corpses in the pass. "
"Okay, haha, okay!
The [-] soldiers who died did not die in vain, and at least [-] Huns were buried with them. "
At this moment, Xu Feng finally smiled. The result of this battle was more fruitful than he imagined.
"Your Majesty, we also captured more than 1000 Huns, including more than [-] wounded soldiers.
Also, after counting, we seized [-] intact horses and more than [-] wounded horses on the battlefield.
These horses are all excellent horses of the Huns. With these horses, we can rebuild more cavalry at any time. "
Zhao Yun also said with a smile, these war horses are indeed their biggest gain in this battle.
As for the weapons left by the Huns, the soldiers of the Qin army didn't even look at them. Those outdated bronze weapons, even bone arrows, had long been out of the Qin army's eyes.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Qin army seized a lot of gold and silver from the Huns.
However, the soldiers of the Qin army only need to hand over [-]% of the trophies seized from the enemies on the battlefield, and they can keep [-]% for themselves.
This is also an extra reward for these soldiers of the Qin army who fought bloody battles and survived with difficulty.
"Is there any news from Ma Chao?"
"Yes, in the early morning, the messengers under Ma Chao's command also sent a detailed report of their battle.
It turned out that the [-] elite cavalry led by Ma Chao defeated the [-] army of the Xiongnu Youxian King in one battle at Xiping Pass.
They not only recaptured Xiping Pass, but also rescued tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of livestock, and a large amount of money, food and materials that had been looted by the Huns.
