Seeing the Xiongnu turn and flee, Lü Bu immediately raised his halberd, the blade pointing directly at the fleeing Xiongnu cavalry.

"Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, charge..."

"Fengxian, wait...!"

Seeing that the enemy had already fled, Lü Bu shouted loudly and was about to give chase, but was stopped by Dong Zhuo who was standing to the side.

Why did Zhongying stop me?

Lu Bu glared at Dong Zhuo, his expression clearly displeased.

Dong Zhuo hurriedly said, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy! We have already disobeyed the orders of the two generals and entered Juyan territory; we cannot pursue them any further!!"

Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo, his chest heaving violently a few times. Remembering Gao Shun's words, he finally put down the halberd in his hand.

"Hmph, at least they ran fast!"

Seeing that the Xiongnu had already run some distance away, Lü Bu snorted coldly and gave up the idea of ​​pursuing them.

"Clean up the battlefield!!"

Immediately, the remaining Han soldiers dismounted and began to collect the remains of their fallen comrades.

"Hiss...!"

A mournful neigh from a warhorse drew the attention of those around them.

On the battlefield, a warhorse belonging to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry swung its front hooves, constantly pawing at the corpses of the Xiongnu people in front of it.

"Hurry up and get there!!"

Two nearby Bingzhou soldiers rushed over and threw the several Xiongnu corpses aside, revealing the two entangled corpses below.

Below is a Xiongnu man with wide-open eyes and a look of fear on his face. He is tightly gripping the neck of a young Bingzhou soldier above him with both hands. The Bingzhou soldier has his head buried in the Xiongnu man's neck and his mouth is tightly biting the Xiongnu man's throat!

The Bingzhou soldier's right arm was missing, but his left arm was tightly wrapped around the waist of the Xiongnu man. Clearly, he was no match for the enemy and chose to perish together with them.

"Cut off this Hun's arms and head!!"

An older soldier from Bingzhou gritted his teeth, drew his long sword from his waist, and then severed the arms that were gripping his comrade's neck, beheading the Xiongnu man.

"Hiss...!"

The young soldier's warhorse followed, stretching its head out and neighing mournfully in the young soldier's ear, while also licking the blood off its master's face.

The scene before them immediately brought tears to the eyes of the surrounding Han soldiers, and everyone turned their heads away, unable to bear to look.

"Oh horse, oh horse... your master is dead!!"

An older soldier stepped forward with a sorrowful expression, grabbed the reins, and tried to pull the warhorse away so he could carry away his comrade's body.

But the warhorse seemed not to hear, neighing and nuzzling its master's chest, hoping he would open his eyes and, as usual, reach out and embrace its head in its master's arms.

No matter how the soldier pulled and dragged him, he refused to leave.

Just then, Lü Bu also came over with several personal guards. Looking at this warhorse that served its master so loyally, Lü Bu's eyes couldn't help but redden.

"You all pull it away together!!"

A hint of reluctance flashed in Lü Bu's eyes, and he immediately signaled to his personal guards to pull the warhorse aside.

Then two soldiers carried the young soldier's body outside.

"Hiss...!"

The warhorse, pulled aside, watched its master being carried away. It neighed and reared up, struggling fiercely, but several guards held it down tightly.

Soon, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the casualties were tallied.

In this battle, over 600 Bingzhou wolf cavalrymen and over 200 Liangzhou cavalrymen died, totaling 823 men! Over 2,600 Xiongnu cavalrymen were killed, 2,300 warhorses were captured, and countless other grain, salt, and supplies were looted.

With a score of 800 to 2600, it was undoubtedly a great victory in terms of casualties alone.

Upon learning the result, the Liangzhou soldiers cheered excitedly, while the Bingzhou wolf cavalry were somewhat dejected.

On the way back to the city, Lü Bu sat on his horse without saying a word, his mood very low!

He had excitedly led three thousand Bingzhou soldiers here, but due to his impulsiveness and recklessness, more than six hundred of his brothers died in just one battle, which was hard for him to accept.

Seeing Lü Bu's dejected appearance, Dong Zhuo sighed softly.

Although the battle appeared to be a victory, for Lu Bu, a proud man, it was a defeat.

When the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry first went into battle, they killed three thousand Jie cavalrymen, but only a few dozen died in the process. However, this time the casualties were more than ten times that of the previous battle. This result was a huge blow to Lü Bu.

Standing atop the city wall, Gao Shun watched the returning troops with a grim face.

Although the two fierce generals, Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo, won a battle, they still violated military orders, which was unacceptable to Gao Shun, who always prioritized military law.

Gao Shun then drew the military sword bestowed upon him by the emperor, which Zhang Huan had given him, and led dozens of soldiers down the city wall to the city gate.

As the city gates opened wide, Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu led their troops into the city, where Gao Shun, with a cold face, led his men to block their way.

Gao Shun raised his military sword and pointed it at Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo in front of him.

Gao Shun then coldly ordered, "Take down Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu!!"

At Gao Shun's command, more than a dozen law enforcement officers from the military law team stepped out from behind him and walked towards Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu.

"Gao Gongren, what are you doing? We've returned victorious from a battle!"
