"Who would have thought that there would be three Heaven-Human Realm divine generals in Su Xuan's army! They are simply not human!"

Although he was a bit silly, he wasn't really stupid!

He could see the situation clearly.

He was just a small shrimp at the early stage of the Dan-Qi realm, so he shouldn't go to the Heaven-Human divine generals to join in the fun and send his head.

He wasn't Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, he had no relationship with the enemy general, if he rushed up, he might be killed in seconds.

"This..."

Zhang Ji actually heard it just now, otherwise, he would be even more anxious at this time.

He looked at the city wall, where Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Old Dian Wei had already opened up the situation, occupying a large section of the city wall. The pass was indeed already in jeopardy.

Obviously, it couldn't be held, so he also had the intention to retreat.

But he still couldn't let go of Zhang Xiu.

"My lord! Retreat!"

Seeing this, Hu Che'er hurriedly continued to advise: "Unless you are willing to defect to Su Xuan, otherwise, retreating at this time is the best choice;"

"Presumably, relying on the relationship between Zhao Yun and the young lord, he can't have any accidents! We can send people to inquire later!"

"Good! Retreat!"

Zhang Ji listened, gritted his teeth, immediately agreed, left a small part of his troops to continue to block Huang Zhong and the others, and he himself led his remaining 10, 00-plus troops to quickly retreat from the city pass, not even having time to pack his things, rode his horse and ran wildly, passed through the city pass on the other side, and then directly fled Yi Que Pass.

Only Li Xian was left here to continue resisting.

"Damn! Zhang Ji! I'll go to your whole... why don't you go die??"

By the time Li Xian reacted, it was already too late.

He cursed loudly and prepared to retreat as well.

"Die!!"

But the next moment, a stream of light flashed before his eyes.

The next moment, he felt a pain in his chest.

Looking down, there was a feathered arrow stuck in his chest, and a blood hole appeared there.

He felt his vitality passing away rapidly.

"Zhang Ji, I'll go to your..."

Li Xian died with endless resentment, and his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

More than ten meters away, Huang Zhong saw all this and put away the bow and arrow in his hand with a smile.

He changed back to his battle saber and continued to lead the soldiers to kill toward the city pass.

At the same time, he roared: "The thief general Li Xian is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!!!"

"The thief general Li Xian is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!!!"

"The thief general Li Xian is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!!!"

The soldiers behind him heard it and also roared in unison.

"What a pity!"

Zhao Yun and Old Dian Wei not far away saw it and felt regretful.

This time, the head of the thief general was snatched by Huang Zhong again.

Envy!

"It seems that in the future, I must continue to strengthen my archery, and at the same time, develop the habit of drawing my bow and arrow to snatch heads at any time!"

Zhao Yun and Old Dian Wei both thought so.

This wasn't the first time!

Huang Zhong had already snatched heads several times relying on his divine archery.

It was fine before, they didn't really care about this little merit.

But ever since the lord perfected and created the Merit Pavilion, and there were more and more good things in the Merit Pavilion, they couldn't help but care.

There were too many good things!

No matter how much merit, it was never enough.

These thoughts flashed through Zhao Yun and the others' minds.

Then, they led the army to charge at the enemy soldiers in the city.

The enemy soldiers saw that the main general Li Xian was dead, and Su Xuan's army was extremely brutal and terrifying, they were not their opponents at all.

Immediately, many people collapsed, and amidst the calls to surrender, they chose to surrender.

With people taking the lead, the morale of the remaining Xiliang army in the pass began to collapse, and large swaths of the Xiliang army began to choose to lay down their weapons and kneel to surrender.

For those who surrendered, Zhao Yun and the others naturally wouldn't continue to slaughter them, but ordered people to collect their weapons and armor, and tie them up.

These were all excellent young and strong men, and they could be taken back to develop and build Jingzhou.

Killing them directly would be too much of a pity.

Half an hour later, the battle in the entire Yi Que Pass was completely over.

In this battle, Su Xuan's army had 0 casualties, 56 injured, and basically all were just minor injuries.

Under the treatment of the military doctors, the injuries were quickly stabilized, and they only needed 1 day for the injuries to recover.

Over the years, Su Xuan had not neglected the development of medicine.

In fact, because of the improvement of alchemy, great results had been achieved in medicine.

Various drugs for rapid recovery from injuries were also researched and produced in large quantities.

In order to have enough raw materials for medicine, Su Xuan, in addition to purchasing various herbs from herbalists across Jingzhou 143.

Also set up more Star Spirit-Turning Arrays and Spirit-Locking Arrays to cultivate more herbs.

Not all of them were to be cultivated into spirit herbs.

The cost was high, and the cycle time was very long.

But if ordinary herbs were cultivated using this method, often ordinary ten-year herbs could be cultivated in the array in a few months or even shorter time to have the same medicinal properties.

Greatly shortening the growth cycle of these ordinary drugs.

Providing conditions for the medical school under Su Xuan to produce large quantities of various healing, nourishing, and recovery drugs.

In addition, 1, 65 enemy soldiers were killed, and 13, 67 were captured.

Thousands of warhorses, and countless wealth and grain.

"My lord! Everything has been packed up! Should we continue to set off for Luoyang?"

Zhao Yun came to report at this time.

"No hurry!"

Su Xuan waved his hand and said: "Rest for one night for now, and act tomorrow!"

"Dong Zhuo's side is not that fast!"

"It won't be too late for us to act the moment the fire in Luoyang starts!"

Otherwise, if the timing of intervention is wrong, does he want to force Dong Zhuo to leave behind an intact Luoyang city?

This does not conform to his interests and plans.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun listened, didn't ask much, immediately bowed and agreed, and was about to go out.

"By the way!"

At this time, Su Xuan called him and said: "Zhao Zilong! Order people to burn all the siege equipment used! Burn them completely!"

"Remember to burn them thoroughly, there must be no remnants! Lest the technology be stolen by other warlords!"

"This point is very important, you go and supervise it yourself!"

"This..."

Zhao Yun listened and was confused: "My lord! These siege equipment were built by the military craftsmen after more than a month of hard work. Isn't it a pity to burn them like this?"

"Aren't there many captives here? Should they be sent back? Why don't we take these siege equipment back together?"

Waste is shameful.

"Useless!"

Su Xuan listened and shook his head with a smile: "You don't understand, these siege equipment are actually not the most advanced siege equipment of our army's ordnance department, and taking them back is of little use to us;"
