General Wei Huo not only had intimate knowledge of the surrounding terrain but also turned the tables by using the Beidi People's own favored tactics to crush them. This outcome was awe-inspiring even to people two thousand years later, let alone the incredible prestige it must have given him in the hearts of the Chu Army back then!
The battle ended quickly.
First, General Wei Huo led his troops to behead 8,000 soldiers from the forces of Lord Zhe Lan and Lord Luhou. Then, on the return march, he took advantage of the victory to pursue the main forces of Lord Hunxie and King Xiu Tu. He drove a large number of prisoners and routed soldiers ahead to disrupt the enemy's formation, ultimately achieving a rousing triumph.
With just 800 men, he waged guerrilla warfare in the Desert North, steadily annihilating the subordinate tribes of the Northern Barbarians and nearby small nations, boosting his strength to over ten thousand men.
