In 119 BC, Emperor Wu’s Han armies chased the Xiongnu “north of the desert”—Mòběi 漠北. Outnumbered 4:1, General Wèi Qīng (衛青) used armored chariot circles, then a night sandstorm to split his cavalry for a lethal pincer. Ten thousand fell on the spot, the Chanyu vanished, and the Xiongnu command shattered.
