Wei Qing's army immediately crossed the desert, with 50000 men and horsescavalry, same astitle of cavalry generalShan Yu, who attacked the Huns.Surrendered to the HunsZhao XinHe advised Shan Yu and said: "The Han army has crossed the desert, and the people are trapped and the horses are tired. The Huns can wait for work at ease and take the Han army prisoners." So he took the Huns'baggageAll shipped toFar North, arrange the elite Huns to wait for the Han army in the north of the desert.So at this time, the war situation is opposite to the pre war deployment,Huo QubingThe Xiongnu army led by the soldiers, including those who dare to fight to the death and are not afraid to go deep into the enemy's front, is King Zuo Xian, while the army met by Wei Qing's army is the main force of the Huns.[1]
Rear GeneralCao XiangtongGeneral ZuoGongsun He and Chinese General Gongsun Ao followed the army of General Wei Qing. When the army was more than a thousand miles outside the Great Wall, they saw Shan Yu's army waiting in formation.So the general orderedWu Gang carForm a ring camp and order 5000 cavalry to ride the horseBenz, resist the Huns.There were also about 10000 cavalry galloping from the Huns.It happened that the sun was going to set and a strong wind was blowing. The sand and stones hit people's faces, and neither army could see the other. The Han army ordered the left and right wings to gallop forward and outflank Shan Yu.Shan Yu saw that there were a lot of troops in the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers and war horses were still very strong. If there was war, it would be bad for the Huns.Therefore, in the evening, Shan Yu rode six headsMuleZila's car, together with about hundreds of strong cavalry, rushed straight away from the Han Army's encirclement and ran toward the northwest.[2]

The history books do not contain Cao Xiang's specific achievements, but Cao Xiang should be conscientious in the army.Because Wei Qing failed to wipe out the whole courtYi Zhixie Shan YuThe army was not granted the title, and none of its officers and soldiers were granted the title of marquis. Cao Xiang, the army of Wei Qing, was not given much reward.
Although it was unprofitable, it can be seen from this battle that Cao Xiang was not an uneducated dandy. Like his ancestor Cao Can, Cao Xiang was also a good boy who galloped on the battlefield to defeat the Huns.
