Hua Xiong could never have predicted that these young men would be so uncivilized, attacking him two by one, and that these two men were even more skilled than him.
That's...that's utterly shameless!
Blood trickled from Hua Xiong's mouth as he stared at the bloody spearhead emerging from his chest, dying with a look of utter resentment.
However, if his spirit in heaven knew that he died at the hands of these two, he would be very proud and could brag about it for hundreds of years!
With Hua Xiong dead, Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing rode off to pursue the remaining cavalry.
Upon seeing Hua Xiong's death, the commanders, lieutenants, and captains in Hua Xiong's army lost all will to fight.
Furthermore, on the riverbank, the Tabai army held the upper hand, and Dong Zhuo was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back.

"Therefore, you should quickly arrange for soldiers to go ashore to clean up the battlefield and retrieve all the intact arrows!"
"Don't forget to retrieve the bolts from the ballista!"
Yang Zaixing remained calm about the victory; in his view, winning the battle was only to be expected.
"Don't worry, Commandant Yang!"
Gao Chong turned and left.
Yang Zaixing stood on the boat, turned his head to look in the direction of Hangu Pass, and stroked his chin:
