Several Han soldiers who were chasing him stopped their pursuit when they saw the Xiongnu general lying on the ground.
Because among the merits of the Han army, the merit of beheading the enemy's generals is much greater than that of beheading small soldiers.
Even killing an ordinary enemy general is definitely more than killing five or six heads.
In a battle, a person would usually not be beheaded for so much military merit.
"The Hulu general!"
A Han soldier had a greedy look in his eyes, and he took off the helmet of the corpse.
This helmet has three pictures of eagle, wolf and sheep staggered with gold and silver. Even on the dim battlefield, the golden luster can be clearly seen.
"This is my brigade commander who shot me to death!"
Another Han soldier grabbed the golden helmet and held it tightly in his arms like a treasure.
"Yes, this is the Hulu our brigade commander killed, why are you so shameless!"
"Yes, this is us, get out of the way!"
Several Han soldiers under Wu Yun immediately surrounded the body of the Xiongnu general on the ground.
When the other Han soldiers saw this, they also knew that such a great achievement was not theirs to take away, so they all left angrily.
After all, the Huns army in front has been completely defeated. It is still very easy to catch up and capture a few Hulu.
These people curled their lips and all left.
After seeing these friendly forces intending to attack leave, Wu Yun also walked over with a pout.
"Commander of the Brigade, Duanduan is a good archer!"
"The brigade commander is really a sharpshooter!"
Several of his subordinates immediately flattered Wu Yun.
However, Wu Yun had no intention of paying attention to this.
He separated from the crowd and looked carefully at the dead bodies on the ground.
I saw that the arrow I just shot hit the Hulu "general" between the eyebrows. If it had been a little higher, it would have hit the helmet's forehead protector.
"This Hulu is really unlucky." Wu Yun secretly said with joy.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind Wu Yun and others.
"What are you doing here?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately turned around and looked.
After seeing who was coming, everyone became frightened.
"General!"
"General, Commander Wu shot and killed a Huru general!"
The person who came was none other than the commander-in-chief Wu Xin. Everyone knew that he was the uncle of his own brigade commander, and they immediately helped him to ask for credit.
"General Hu Lu?" Wu Xin was delighted when he heard this.
Today's battle really made him feel unhappy, and the losses involved were far greater than he had expected before.
It can even be said that there is a possibility of defeat in this battle.
If a general could really kill one or two Hulu, that would sound much better.
At least the burden of losing soldiers today can be lighter.
"General, he is indeed a Hulu general. Look at this golden helmet!" Wu Yun immediately raised the golden helmet he had just taken off.
"ah?"
When the commander-in-chief Wu Xin saw this, he immediately took a breath of cold air.
"Get out of the way, let me see the body!"
Wu Xin rushed forward in three steps and two steps at a time, and everyone immediately stepped aside, revealing the corpse on the ground with an arrow stuck in its forehead.
"Go and call Cao Wulang over!"
Wu Xin looked at it for a while without saying anything, and finally gave instructions to his own soldiers.
Cao Wulang is a descendant of the deputy general Cao Yi, and he was also a figure who once lived in the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty. He has an impression of ordinary Xiongnu nobles.
Soon, Cao Wulang came.
"Look, does General Hulu know this?" Wu Xin pointed.
"General, wait a moment, let me take a closer look!" Cao Wulang was not impatient.
After he looked at it carefully for a while, his expression became more and more solemn.
"General, this is Liu Yao!"
"Liu Yao?"
"Is this the Hulu Emperor Liu Yao?"
Everyone, including Wu Xin and others, were shocked, and then overjoyed.
"Well, yes, it's that Liu Yao." Cao Wulang said.
"Have you ever felt confident?" Wu Xin's voice trembled slightly.
"General, don't worry. Liu Yao, a barbarian, looks different from ordinary people. He has white eyebrows and red eyes. He is definitely unmistakable!" Cao Wulang said, patting his chest.
Everyone nearby cheered immediately. Wu Yun was so surprised that he didn't even cheer with everyone.
The commander-in-chief Wu Xin was also overjoyed. He immediately arranged for his soldiers to guard Liu Yao's body, including the weapons and armor he dropped on the ground.
A soldier was about to step forward and pull out the feather arrow on his forehead, but Wu Xin immediately interrupted him.
"This arrow has divine help, how can it be moved lightly?"
"Only take the golden helmet, and don't touch the rest."
Wu Xin took the golden helmet, put it on the spear and raised it high.
"Everyone obeys the order. As long as you can still breathe, follow me to kill Hulu!"
"Liu Yao's head is here, kill Hulu!"
After Wu Xin finished speaking, he led his soldiers to mount their horses and pursue him.
He was originally worried that if the Han army pursued too urgently, they might encounter a counterattack by the Huns' cavalry.
However, now that Liu Yao has died in the battle, the entire Xiongnu army has no chance of turning defeat into victory.
If the Huns could organize a counterattack under such circumstances, then Wu Xin would definitely encounter heavenly soldiers and generals.
Afterwards, the entire Han army on the battlefield rushed forward like crazy to pursue them.
In front of the defeated Xiongnu troops, Cao Yi's 5,000 men, who circled behind and attacked, had completely stabilized their footing and firmly occupied the central position of the avenue.
All the Huns soldiers avoided and fled northwest from both sides.
Suddenly, 50,000 to 60,000 Hun infantry and cavalry were crowded together in the wilderness.
When night finally fell after an hour, the hunting ended.
Twenty miles to the west from the starting battlefield, the fields were scattered with the bodies, armor, flags and baggage of numerous Hun soldiers, as well as many ownerless horses that also fled in all directions.
When the first wave of defeated troops returned to Chang'an, the entire Huns in Chang'an felt that the sky was falling.
"What, His Majesty is missing?"
Zhu Ji, the Taifu of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom, immediately asked anxiously when facing the defeated troops who had fled back.
Because the defeated Huns who escaped told him that the entire battlefield was rumored to have lost Emperor Liu Yao to the rebel army.
However, Zhu Ji, the Taifu of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom, and others did not believe this news very much.
Liu Yao was a talented man among the Huns with both civil and military skills, and he was an unparalleled expert in riding and shooting. How could he fall into the army so easily?
"Master, we really don't know."
Several Huns generals said in embarrassment.
"Quick, go explore again!" Zhu Ji, the Xiongnu Taifu, immediately ordered.
He was originally stationed in Pingyang and had just been transferred to Chang'an by Liu Yao, but he did not expect that news of the defeat would come so soon.
Regardless of whether the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao was dead or alive, the Xiongnu army of 70,000 to 80,000 people was completely destroyed.
Zhu Ji estimated that only about half of the Huns' troops could escape.
Moreover, most of the defeated soldiers who fled back lost their horses, weapons, armor and other important supplies.
These things are not easy to supplement for the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty.
Without these armaments, the Huns soldiers who escaped would not be much better than ordinary farmers.
"Where is your majesty? Where is your majesty?"
Suddenly, a woman's anxious voice reached the hall.
Then a gorgeous woman in gorgeous clothes burst in with an anxious look on her face.
"Your Highness!"
Taifu Zhu Ji and others immediately saluted.
The person who came was none other than the Queen Yang Xianrong who had just been appointed by the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao.
"Where is your Majesty?" Yang Xianrong's pretty face was filled with fear.
"His Majesty has God's blessing and will surely come back soon." Grand Tutor Zhu Ji said carefully.
Now Queen Yang Xianrong is pregnant and will give birth soon.
For the Xiongnu Liu family who had just experienced several massacres, a boy was very important.
"Your Majesty," Yang Xianrong just wanted to speak again, but there was so much sadness in his heart that it was difficult to form words.
Grand Tutor Zhu Ji immediately promised that as soon as there was news about the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao, he would immediately report it to Her Majesty the Queen.
After calming the queen, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji and others became increasingly panicked.
Today's Xiongnu and Han Kingdom can be said to have really reached a precarious moment.
First, Liu Cong, Liu Can, Jin Zhun and others massacred the clans several times, so that now Zhu Ji didn't even know which clans to find to preside over the situation in Chang'an.
Not only the royal family of the Xiongnu Liu family, but also the noble generals of the Xiongnu people were in decline.
Hu Yanyan, the most prestigious cavalry general, has been completely besieged in Tongguan, and there is no possibility of any reinforcements.
If a heaven-defying miracle hadn't happened, the cavalry general Hu Yanyan and others would have been doomed.
"I can only hope that His Majesty will return safely!"
Taifu Zhu Ji couldn't help but pray to heaven.
It's a pity that God always doesn't follow people's wishes.
Early the next morning, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji and others got the most accurate news.
Because at this time most of the defeated troops had fled back.
These people brought the most accurate news on the battlefield.
Almost everyone told Zhu Ji that the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao had died in the rebellion.
When the Qingzhou bandits were chasing him, they even held up the emperor's golden helmet to show off.
If it weren't for that golden helmet, they wouldn't believe the enemy's shouts on the battlefield.
"His Majesty died in the army?!!"
Grand Tutor Zhu Ji was immediately overwhelmed by the news.
"Quick, order people to collect all the defeated troops, and be sure to block the news!"
Zhu Ji suddenly jumped up and shouted with red eyes.
Several cronies were startled, but soon showed embarrassed expressions.
"Master, I'm afraid it's too late." A close aide said with a grimace.
"The news of the defeated troops has been spread outside the city. If we try to block the news now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Zhu Ji immediately fell to the ground again.
"What should we do about this? What should we do about this?"
Zhu Ji was so frightened and frightened that he almost shed tears.
Although he is a Xiongnu who massacres everyone, he is good at managing classics and administration, and is really powerless to deal with the dangerous situation of the current war.
Now it is very difficult to find another general to lead the army in the entire Huns and Han Kingdoms.
Just when Grand Tutor Zhu Ji was worried about not knowing how to deal with the crisis, something even more troublesome came.
Several officials from the government ran in in a hurry, sweating profusely on their foreheads because they were running so fast.
"Master, it's not good! There's a big mess in the city." A petty official shouted in panic.
"What's the big mess?" Grand Tutor Zhu Ji asked immediately.
"There are already rumors in the city that Tongguan was defeated, His Majesty died on the battlefield, tens of thousands of soldiers died, and Chang'an City can no longer be defended."
"The Qiang and Hu people in the city have announced that they want to flee to the north, and they have already started burning and killing people in the city to get their way."
"These thieves actually want to take advantage of the situation!" Grand Tutor Zhu Ji was furious.
These Qiang and Hu people are really robbers who have not changed their nature. They can only share wealth and wealth, but not danger.
"Come here, give me all your troops. I'm going to put down these thieves myself!"
Zhu Ji thought bitterly that if he couldn't deal with those Qingzhou thieves, how could he not be able to deal with you horse thieves?
However, several cronies and petty officials around him tried to dissuade him.
"Master, please don't be rash!"
"Now the Qiang thieves are only plundering some goods. If they are forced too hard and cause a military disaster, there will be no way to deal with it."
"Yes, now we have fewer Huns and more Beiqiang. If there is a conflict, Chang'an will be in danger."

"Taifu, the Hussars General Gou Xi is now near the capital, and he has at least ten thousand soldiers in his hands. We can order Gou Xi to enter Chang'an to deter these Qiang thieves."
