Zhao Yan and Man Chong quickly realized this problem. They wanted to return to their respective command posts, but Zhang Xiu had beaten Li Tong to the point where he looked like he was about to die at any moment. They couldn't just sit by and do nothing. Moreover, Zhang Xiu's Wind Chasing Horse was much faster than their mounts. His spear was even faster. As long as they wanted to escape, Zhang Xiu would immediately press down on them and force them to parry. There was no possibility of them escaping.
As the battle came to an end, it was even more impossible for them to escape because at this moment, Wen Pin and Huang Zhong had already pressed down.
When the battle came to an end, Huang Zhong's cavalry no longer needed to charge. They split up into teams to assist the other infantry teams in dealing with the enemy.
Huang Zhong didn't need to command the cavalry to fight. He rushed up to help Zhang Xiu.
" I don't need Han Sheng's help," Zhang Xiu laughed." I just need to prevent them from escaping!" Capture them alive!"
As he spoke, he stabbed his spear at Man Chong.
Full Pet hurriedly parried with his spear.
This time, Zhang Xiu didn't hold back anymore, slashing over like a lion hunting a rabbit.
Man Chong felt an unprecedented force surging towards him. His arms shook violently, and his thumb and forefinger were in extreme pain. He could no longer hold the spear, and it fell to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned his horse and fled.
Zhang Xiu did not chase after Man Chong, but signaled Wen Pin, who was watching the battle, to capture Man Chong alive.
Wen Pin originally wanted to kill Man Chong with a steel spear, but seeing Man Chong's extraordinary bearing and remembering the Lord's instructions just now, he gently stretched his ape arms and caught Man Chong from the horse and captured him alive.
Li Tong saw that the situation wasn't looking good, so he turned his horse and fled. The White Swan Horse under him ran very quickly.
Zhang Xiu chased after him relentlessly, and the Wind Chasing Horse under him was even faster. It would soon catch up to Li Tong.
Li Tong suddenly pressed down on the belly of the White Swan Horse, and the White Swan Horse under him half-squatted.
Li Tong suddenly turned around and brandished his large saber, slashing at Zhang Xiu!
This move was known as the Blade Dragging Stratagem. Li Tong was good at using this move. Not long ago, he had killed a Yellow Turban General, He Man, whose martial strength was not much different from his.
If the strategy was used on a horse, it would be even more powerful. It would lure the enemy by feigning defeat. Then, according to the principle of inertia, the fleeing party would drag the saber and fight back. The chasing party would not be able to rein in their horses in time when they charged, and they would be defeated if they could not dodge in time. However, inertia was the same. Therefore, the fleeing party had to be good at riding horses and seize the opportunity to fight back.
Li Tong's horsemanship was superb, and the White Swan Horse he rode was connected to his mind. He had once used the strategy of dragging the blade in battle and killed several nameless fierce men whose martial arts were not inferior to his. This time, Li Tong thought that although Zhang Xiu's martial arts were far stronger than his, he was still young and had little combat experience. How could he avoid this ultimate skill of his?
Li Tong had never expected that his slash would actually hit nothing!
His saber missed. By the time Li Tong wanted to withdraw his saber and change his move, it was already too late. He could only watch as Zhang Xiu's great spear stabbed towards his head.
Li Tong closed his eyes, thinking that his head would fall to the ground.
However, he never expected that with a clang, the end of Zhang Xiu's spear would smash into his helmet.
Li Tong fell from the White Swan Horse and fainted on the spot.
When Li Tong woke up, he found himself tied up by the Nanyang soldiers.
As it turned out, Zhang Xiu had long known that Li Tong had used a saber dragging tactic to kill He Man, and had long been prepared for this move of Li Tong's. Just now, when he saw Li Tong's saber-wielding hand gesture when he retreated, he was even more certain that Li Tong was going to use this move to plot against him. Thus, he had made preparations and dodged Li Tong's spinning slash. Taking advantage of the moment when Li Tong's saber momentum was exhausted, he used the tail of his spear to knock Li Tong unconscious.
At this moment, Li Tong's White Swan Horse saw that its master had been knocked down by Zhang Xiu and hurriedly fled.
Zhang Xiu urged his Wind Chasing Horse and chased after them. In an instant, he caught up with them and grabbed the reins of the White Swan Horse, letting a few cavalrymen watch over them.
Then, Zhang Xiu went to check on Zhao Yan.
At this moment, Zhao Yan wanted to escape but was stopped by Huang Zhong.
Unfortunately, Huang Zhong had yet to formally submit to Zhang Xiu and had yet to sincerely address him as his lord.
However, Huang Zhong did not take any of the tasks that Zhang Xiu had given him lightly and completed them all. Just like this time, Zhang Xiu had ordered him to come to Xiang City from Yeyang City in two days, but he arrived in one and a half days. His troops were all trained according to Zhang Xiu's training standards. Their standards were basically higher than the Jing State soldiers and were on par with the Cao State soldiers.
Now, Huang Zhong stopped Zhao Yan and wanted him to stay.
Zhao Yan's combat strength was only 72, which was far from Huang Zhong's 116. Zhao Yan did not dare to fight him at all.
Moreover, during the few clashes between Zhao Yan and Zhang Xiu, the web between his thumb and forefinger had cracked and blood was dripping from it. He could not even hold the spear tightly. If they continued fighting, he would not be able to escape.
Zhao Yan quickly feigned a spear strike and turned his horse to flee.
Huang Zhong rode on his horse and chased after Zhao Yan. However, his warhorse was raised in Jingzhou, so it couldn't run fast. The distance between him and Zhao Yan grew further and further.
The Nanyang cavalry blocking Zhao Yan's path were no match for him and were forced to retreat.
Zhao Yan was about to break out of the encirclement and escape.
At this moment, a black arrow shot out like a black lightning bolt and hit the leg of Zhao Yan's horse. The horse lost its front hooves and Zhao Yan fell off the horse.
Zhao Yan was wearing heavy armor and fell off his horse. It was quite difficult for him to get up. When he got up with difficulty and wanted to escape, Huang Zhong had already put away his bow and arrow and rushed over. He slapped him to the ground.
The soldiers around him bravely stepped forward and tied Zhao Yan up.
"You want to run? Have you asked about my bow?"
Seeing Zhang Xiu rushing over, Huang Zhong hurriedly rode his horse forward and bowed."I didn't disappoint the general and captured the enemy.”
It was still a general and not a lord. Zhang Xiu was very unhappy when he heard this.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu saw Li Tong's White Swan Horse and ordered someone to bring it over.
Zhang Xiu personally handed the reins of the White Swan Horse to Huang Zhong and said with a smile,"Hansheng's martial arts skills are extraordinary. If you have a divine horse, you will definitely be able to capture Zhao Yan single-handedly. This horse is very divine. I will reward you now.”
Huang Zhong took the reins of the White Swan Horse from Zhang Xiu's hands, and a warm feeling instantly surged in his heart. The way he looked at Zhang Xiu immediately changed.
Suddenly, Huang Zhong knelt down in front of Zhang Xiu's horse and bowed.""I, Huang Zhong, had second thoughts previously, but you didn't abandon me. You have shown great kindness, and I am extremely grateful. I am willing to serve you, even if I have to sacrifice my life!”
Huang Zhong felt that Zhang Xiu had gifted him a white swan horse. He remembered that Zhang Xiu loved his people like his own son and had great ambitions. This time, he had also shown the great strength of a vassal. Huang Zhong felt that Zhang Xiu could surpass Liu Biao. He was mentally submissive and sincerely submitted.

Zhang Xiu flew down from his horse and helped Huang Zhong up. He laughed loudly and said,"With Han Sheng's help, I'll be like a tiger with wings.”
