"Stop! Everyone stop! We surrender!"
Gao Lan immediately obeyed and shouted.
The surrounding knights had already discerned the enemy's equipment, horses, and fighting strength; they were no match for the Black Mountain Army!
If it weren't for Gao Lan's coercion and killing Sima Zhen, why would they have been willing to continue fighting?
Upon hearing Gao Lan say to stop and surrender, he immediately threw his weapon on the ground.
In an instant, as if a virus had spread, the remaining three hundred Zhen Ding cavalrymen all surrendered before the arrival of the Guan Ning cavalry.
The infantry in the two square formations on the left and right immediately noticed the commotion and dropped their weapons, kneeling down to beg for mercy.
The left wing of 1,000 infantrymen suffered 300 casualties; the right wing of 1,000 infantrymen suffered 500 casualties; the remaining 500 cavalrymen had just engaged Zhang Yan's cavalry and suffered little loss.
Zhao Yun escorted Gao Lan step by step to Liu Wei.
"My lord, we have successfully completed our mission and captured Gao Lan alive!"
Zhao Yun bowed respectfully from his horse.
"Haha! Zilong is truly courageous!" Liu Wei exclaimed in admiration.
Everyone was moved by Zhao Yun's solo capture of the enemy general from the midst of the enemy ranks.
Liu Wei's description of Zhao Yun as having boundless courage is incredibly apt.

Liu Wei immediately promoted Zhao Yun and assigned five hundred Guan Ning cavalry to Zhao Yun's command.
"I would give my life for my lord, even unto death!"
Zhao Yun was so excited that he couldn't speak.
At the tender age of seventeen or eighteen, he was already a captain, commanding five hundred cavalrymen, which shows how much Liu Wei trusted him.
"I have a lieutenant general under my command who is only sixteen years old. When we go to Youzhou, you can get to know him well."
What!
Both Zhao Yun and Tian Kai were shocked.
To become a Lieutenant General at the age of sixteen and be able to command independently—what an extraordinary ability that is!
Zhao Yun secretly resolved to befriend him and emulate him.
At this moment, Zhang Yan and Wang Fangyi also came to Liu Wei's side.
"Prefect Gao, how have you been? How are you?"
Seeing Gao Lan captured alive, Zhang Yan recalled that his two sworn brothers, numbering over 20,000, had been defeated by Gao Lan, and so he said sarcastically.
"You scoundrels, how come your Black Mountain Army has also followed the King of Clouds?"
