Chapter 510

From early morning until afternoon.

By this time, outside Yunwu County, corpses covered the fields.

Duan Yu and Cao Cao's four groups of cavalry, like four black giant pythons shuttling across the battlefield, divided the tens of thousands of Xiqiang army.

And the Xuanwu battle formation composed of Gao Shun and Qu Yi used heavy bows and strong crossbows to cover and shoot the Xiqiang cavalry in swaths.

When the Xiqiang cavalry wanted to charge the Xuanwu battle formation of Gao Shun and Qu Yi, they had to be slaughtered by Duan Yu and Cao Cao together.

By the afternoon, the Xiqiang army, with corpses covering the fields, began to rout.

As the saying goes, the defeat of an army is like a mountain collapsing.

The Xiqiang army was originally composed of more than a dozen tribes, each with their own thoughts.

Once they routed, it was like a mountain collapsing.

Each tribe scattered and scrambled to escape.

However, what the dozen or so Xiqiang tribes did not know was that the rout was the beginning of their doomsday.

When tens of thousands of Xiqiang cavalry fled to the east bank of the Huangshui River, preparing to cross the Huangshui River to shake off the pursuers behind them, they were congested in the river channel of the Huangshui River.

The water flow, which brushed past the warhorses' knees, was ice-cold and bone-chilling.

But it still couldn't stop the Xiqiang army that wanted to escape quickly.

However, just when the Xiqiang army had crossed the river halfway.

Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and others guarding the upper reaches of the Huangshui River breached the dam at the congested river mouth.

Before they could get ashore, a large number of Xiqiang soldiers still congested in the river channel were directly swept into the torrent by the ice-cold and surging river water.

The surging river water instantly separated the Qiang army that had already crossed the river, those still in the riverbed, and those who had not yet had time to cross and were congested on the east bank of the Huangshui River.

What was even more fatal was that Duan Yu led the army to catch up at this moment.

On the east bank of the Huangshui River, he defeated the remaining more than ten thousand Xiqiang army that had not crossed the river again.

Countless were trampled to death by warhorses and people, and countless were pushed into the rapid and ice-cold water flow.

From early morning until dark.

The Xiqiang camp of more than fifty thousand people was already empty.

There were only corpses everywhere and floating bodies in the Huangshui River.

The remaining Xiqiang army that had crossed the river halfway, and those fleeing on the east bank of the Huangshui River, had already disappeared.

But just this one day.

At least thirty thousand or more of the Qiang army were buried forever outside Yunwu County and in the Huangshui River.

In Yunwu County, filled with night color.

A grand celebration banquet was underway.

Duan Yu, together with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, sat in the main hall of the county government.

The generals gathered, filling the main hall of the county government.

The tables were full of meat, wine, and dishes.

The firelight inside and outside the room was bright.

In the distance, one could also see and hear the bright firelight and laughter in Yunwu County.

A victory.

Undoubtedly, this great battle was an unprecedented great victory in decades.

In one battle, more than thirty thousand were beheaded.

Of the dozen or so Xiqiang tribes, I am afraid half would be removed from the list.

And the losses in this battle were negligible.

If it weren't for Liang Hu sending Chen Yi to the Shaodang Qiang, causing Chen Yi to die at the Shaodang Qiang, and Cheng Qiu defecting.

Then in this battle, the losses would have been almost negligible.
