With the Northern Xiongnu threatening China’s border, Han General Dou Xian took a large Imperial army into Mongolia, supported by his allies, the Southern Xiongnu. In a decisive battle at Jiluo Mountain, southwest of modern Ulaanbaatar, the Northern Xiongnu were routed, with the survivors fleeing west across the Altai Mountains. As a result they virtually ceased to exist as a military power.
