Liu Hengchang's battle finally crushed the morale of the Rouran barbarians.
A few days later, the Rouran barbarians started to retreat.
The Rouran boasted of a hundred thousand elite cavalrymen, but this invasion of the border suffered unprecedented losses. After months of battle, some were killed in direct combat, some died of illness, some from untreated severe injuries, and more died in two night assaults on the camps.
During the first night assault, a large amount of grain and fodder was burned, and thousands of warhorses ran away from the burning stables. In the second night assault, Ah Fu Luo was beheaded; thousands were hacked, trampled, and killed in their sleep. Most hateful of all, the unmatchable confidence of the Rouran cavalry was destroyed.
Yu Chong! Liu Hengchang! Nanyang Army! Nanyang County Princess!
