Touman was defeated miserably.
Amid the slogans of "Huns do not fight Huns", he was knocked unconscious and tied up by the two tribal leaders Laozhong and Tusha, and sent to Prince Maodun.
The two men who had personally experienced the defeat at Gaoque knew better than any other tribal leaders how much power Prince Maodun held.
After reviewing the battle of Gaoque, both men concluded that the casualties among the 40,000 Xiongnu people in Gaoque were at least 17,000.
In this era, those who have the will to fight even when more than 30% of their casualties occur, and those who do not flee in defeat are the elite. Those who still fight bravely even when more than 40% of their casualties occur, are the elite among the elite.
