Yan Emperor can not do anything, fled to the Yellow Emperor Zhuolu request help. Huangdi long want to get rid of this scourge of the tribes, it unified all the various tribes, ready to Sagittarius, in the fields and on Zhuolu Chiyou launched a major battle.With regard to the war, there are many mythical legends.
