Chapter 405

The speed of this iron cavalry was more than twice as fast as the Xiliang iron cavalry.

Even though the fleeing Xiliang iron cavalry had set off nearly ten minutes earlier.

They were still caught up by Su Xuan's army after more than ten minutes.

"Impossible! How could they be this fast?"

The Xiliang iron cavalry heard the sound of warhorses galloping from behind, and this sound was growing rapidly.

They couldn't help but look back, and were terrified to find an Allied iron cavalry pursuing them at a terrifying speed. They were filled with disbelief and felt as if their souls were flying out of their bodies.

"Run! Run quickly! The pass is not far away, we still have time!"

The deputy general of the Xiliang army shouted immediately, then led these Xiliang iron cavalry to accelerate frantically toward Sishui Pass.

After only a few minutes, they arrived at the pass.

At this time, they were surprised to find that the Allied iron cavalry was still a thousand meters away, their speed having dropped significantly.

It seemed that the previous charge had exhausted the stamina of their warhorses, and they couldn't maintain their speed anymore.

Xiliang deputy general Li Li immediately shouted to the defending general on the pass: "I am Li Li, open the pass for me immediately and let us in! Quick! The enemy army is about to catch up!"

The defending general on the pass was Hu Zhen.

He naturally heard Li Li's shouting at this time, saw Li Li's appearance clearly, and confirmed that this was not a trick.

At the same time, he also saw that the Allied iron cavalry a thousand meters away seemed to have exhausted their stamina, their speed very, very slow.

He also felt that there was still time, so he waved his hand at the deputy general beside him: "Quick! Open the pass and let Li Li and the others enter the city! Quick!!"

If there was no chance, he wouldn't open the pass.

But as long as there was even a slight chance, he would still do it.

Because this was Li Li! Li Jue's nephew, who could also be considered his nephew.

He couldn't afford to offend Li Jue.

If there was clearly a chance, but Li Li died in battle because he refused to open the pass, Li Jue would definitely not let him off.

"Creak!!!"

Soon, the pass was opened directly.

Li Li was overjoyed and hurriedly led his army to charge into the city gate tunnel.

"Haha! It really worked! Soldiers! Follow me and kill!!"

A thousand meters away, Su Xuan saw this scene and was overjoyed. He directly called Xu Chu and the 800 personal guard battalion soldiers who possessed exotic beast warhorses, instantly formed a military formation, and fully activated the abilities of their exotic beast warhorses.

Like a hurricane, they rushed toward the pass opposite.

The speed was extremely terrifying.

In an instant, a hundred meters were crossed.

In less than ten breaths, Su Xuan and his men, under the terrified gazes of Hu Zhen and the others, crossed the thousand-meter distance, followed by the remaining Xiliang soldiers who hadn't rushed into the pass, and killed their way into the city gate tunnel.

"Pfft!!!"

"Ah!"

Wherever they passed, all the Xiliang soldiers were crushed directly.

"Quick, close the city gate! Quick..."

At this time, Hu Zhen, who had recovered from his terror, shouted somewhat belatedly to the soldiers in the city.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

Su Xuan and Xu Chu, leading the 800 personal guard battalion soldiers, had already pierced through the city gate tunnel, completely charged into the city, and began to slaughter the Xiliang soldiers who came to block them, expanding their victory.

And Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong outside the city were not idle either. The moment Su Xuan led the army to charge, they also led the remaining main force to charge over.

However, without all of them having exotic beast warhorses, their speed was naturally far inferior to Su Xuan's, and they arrived at the pass more than ten breaths later.

They charged into the city gate tunnel.

At this time, Su Xuan and his men had already successfully slain Li Li and Hu Zhen, completely securing this city gate tunnel.

They let Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and the others lead the army to charge in.

"Hansheng! Zilong! Quickly slaughter all the enemies who are resisting stubbornly and take control of the pass;"

"Also, find the location where the enemy's grain and military supplies are stored as quickly as possible, and confiscate all these things for me immediately!"

"These are all our spoils of war; we can't let others pick up the bargain."

After Huang Zhong and the others killed their way in, Su Xuan gave the order directly.

"Hah!"

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun accepted the order immediately.

They began to lead the army to wreak havoc inside the pass.

No one was a match for them.

"Surrender and you will not be killed! Surrender and you will not be killed!!"

Under the terrifying momentum of Su Xuan's army, the Xiliang army's will to resist was directly crushed, their survival instinct was triggered, and amidst the calls to surrender, the surviving Xiliang soldiers began to surrender one after another.

After all, the defeat was set, and the generals were all dead.

Their lives were important, so they naturally wouldn't fight to the death.

Once someone took the lead in surrendering, the people behind scrambled to put down their weapons and choose to surrender.

As if they were afraid that if they were a second too slow, their heads would be moved.

This allowed Su Xuan and his men to quickly take control of Sishui Pass.

And, under the guidance of the "guides," they quickly found the locations where the money, grain, warhorses, and military supplies were stored.

Huang Zhong and the others, following Su Xuan's instructions, quickly looted these spoils of war.

At this time, it had only been twenty minutes since they charged into the pass.

The efficiency was astonishing.

"My Lord! The money, grain, warhorses, and military supplies have all been looted. In total, there are about 200,000 shi of grain, 10,000 gold, more than 4,000 warhorses, and various military supplies;"

"In addition, there are more than 14,000 captives;"

"What should we do next?"

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun found Su Xuan immediately after completing the task and asked.

Su Xuan waved his hand: "Hansheng, you split off 3,000 iron cavalry here, let Su Zhan lead them. Except for leaving 20% of the grain and all the military supplies, let Huang Xu and the 3,000 Xuanjia Army escort the rest away from the pass immediately and head south to return to Xinye;"

"Hand over these captives and loot to Huang Xu, who is stationed in Xinye, and let him notify Xi Zhicai and the others to cooperate with the Dark Guards for resettlement;"

"After the handover is complete, let Su Zhan lead the army back."

"Be quick! The main force of the Allied Forces is only ten miles away. At most, the first batch of cavalry will arrive in ten minutes. We don't have much time left!"

This was because their cavalry combined with the military formation was too fast, and the Allied Forces were slow; otherwise, this would never have happened.

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun accepted the order and left.

In less than ten minutes, Su Zhan had already led the 3,000 Xuanjia Army, commanding the surrendered troops to escort almost all the spoils of war out of the east gate of Sishui Pass, heading south in a mighty procession.

During this process, there were other iron cavalry from the Xuanjia Army, the Azure Dragon Battalion, and the Xiaoji Cavalry to suppress and help.

Therefore, those Xiliang surrendered troops didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent.

They all followed Su Zhan and the 3,000 Xuanjia Army and left at the fastest speed, honestly.

At that speed, they only wished their parents hadn't given them fewer legs.

Watching Su Zhan leave with the spoils of war, Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown: "My Lord! Is it really okay for us to send away all the spoils of war and captives?"

"Yuan Shao and the others will be suspicious, right?"

Su Xuan listened, but didn't care: "What is there to be suspicious about? Didn't we kill quite a few people? Just count the corpses, pile them up, and prepare to dig a pit to bury them!"

"Also, go and set fire to the enemy's granary in the city to fool them."

"As for Yuan Shao, just say that the remaining enemy troops saw the pass was broken and fled directly toward Hulao Pass!"

"Right! Zilong, next you lead your own troops to stay and guard this Sishui Pass, and the other troops will follow me west to pursue the so-called fleeing enemy troops, just to put on a show!"

"We can just turn back halfway!"

Saying this, Su Xuan immediately called Huang Zhong and Xu Chu, led several thousand iron cavalry west out of Sishui Pass, and began to pursue...

After Su Xuan and his men had been gone for several minutes,

The first batch of cavalry from the Allied Forces arrived late.

"Eh? The pass is still intact? Where are General Su Xuan's troops? Weren't they walking at the very front? How did they disappear?"

Gongsun Zan looked around with a puzzled expression.

Cao Cao, who was on the side, pointed to the Su and Zhao flags on the pass and said: "Brother Bogui, look at the flags on the city wall. That seems to be Boyuan's flag." ===== CHAPTER 407 =====
