Who would be willing to die if they could live? Ever since Lu Bu had arrived, Dong Zhuo had been looking down on Hwa Xiong.
Before this, he had been loyal to Dong Zhuo, and that was his responsibility as his younger brother. But now, his life was in the hands of others. Hua Xiong suddenly realized that he was not willing to die for Dong Zhuo.
"Ten men, bring Hwa Xiong back to the camp. The rest, charge with me.”
When Sun Tong went out to fight against Hwa Xiong, he naturally had to follow a few people to boost his momentum. Behind him stood his 800 cavalry troops.
The 3,000 cavalrymen that Hua Xiong had brought out were now considered meat in Sun Tong's mouth. Of course, he could not give up in vain. He led his cavalrymen and charged straight at the enemy. Sun Tong was the first to charge into the enemy's formation.
He saw that none of the cavalrymen surrounding Sun Tong could get close to him. Every time Sun Tong brandished his halberd, he would sweep away two to three of his opponents.
The dukes on the city walls were also shocked by Sun Tong's bravery.
Was he still a human?
His own troops had yet to arrive, yet he had charged into a crowd of 3,000 people alone. If it were anyone else, they would have died long ago. However, when he looked at Sun Tong, not only was he fine, but the Western Liang soldiers beside him looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Some of the Western Liang soldiers at the back had already begun to run away, but Sun Tong's underlings had already rushed over. At this point, Sun Tong had already taken the 3,000 Western Liang soldiers as his own.
"We won't kill those who surrender. Hurry up and put down your weapons.”
Sun Tong's shout was enough to make the Western Liang soldiers lose all will to resist. They threw down their weapons one after another, and Sun Tong's lackeys got busy again, starting to detain these people.
"Yuan Rang, do you dare to come with me to the Mushui Pass to take a look?”
Seeing that the matter here had been resolved, Sun Tong did not intend to go back just like that.
Now that the general of Mushui Pass had been captured, the remaining people at Mushui Pass would definitely notice the situation at this end. Sun Tong felt that this was a good opportunity to take down Mushui Pass.
"Why not?"
"Haha, today, let us brothers become famous in the world. A hundred people, come with me to break through.”
A hundred cavalrymen charged straight at Mushui Pass. At this time, the dukes also reacted. Since Hua Xiong had been captured, taking down Mushui Pass now was the best opportunity for the alliance army.
Immediately, the various dukes began to mobilize their troops, but their speed was still much slower. Sun Tong had brought more than a hundred people to the Lishui Pass. It was simply courting death for them to attack the city with just a few people.
"Hua Xiong has already been captured by me. Why don't you all quickly open the door and surrender? Otherwise, when the Heavenly Army unites, all of you will not be able to escape death!”
"May I ask your name, General?"
"Le An, Sun Zhongmin!"
"If we surrender, will the general be able to save our lives?”
"Since you're willing to surrender, as long as you don't court death, I'll protect your lives.”
"Does General's words count?"
"I am the younger brother of General Cao Mengde. My elder brother is the initiator of this alliance meeting, so he still has some weight in the alliance army. As long as you are willing to surrender to me, you will serve under me in the future.”
"General, are you willing to swear an oath?"
"Why not? I, Sun Zhongmin, swear that if I can't save your lives in the future, I will die a horrible death.”
"We are willing to trust General. General, please wait a moment. I will send someone to open the city gates.”
Ever since Hwa Xiong was captured, the guards in the city had started to think about their own way out.
After all, in their opinion, without Hua Xiong's presence, it was impossible for them to defend the Mushui Pass now. Now that they were asked to continue guarding the pass and die in vain, they would definitely be unwilling.
However, if they were to abandon the city, they would be dead if they returned to Luoyang. Thus, after thinking about it, surrendering was the most practical choice.
Martial artists believed that the strong were respected. Although they were far away, some people with good eyesight could vaguely see the situation between Sun Tong and Hwa Xiong.
For this group of Western Liang soldiers, it was a blessing to have the opportunity to follow a fierce general like Sun Tong.
In any case, when the dukes had just gathered their troops, Sun Tong had already taken down Mushui Pass.
After entering the pass, Sun Tong appeased the surrendered soldiers and then arranged for Xiahou Dun to go back and call for reinforcements. Not long after, the dukes on the other side of the camp learned that Mushui Pass had been breached and they could directly lead their troops to enter.
The duke felt that this sudden news was ridiculous.
Didn't they say that there were tens of thousands of soldiers in Mushui Pass? Wasn't the Lishui Pass one of the most dangerous passes in the world? Why was it that when it came to him, Sun Zhongmin, this dangerous pass was like a piece of paper?
Sun Tong taking down Mushui Pass was naturally a good thing for the alliance army. After all, it was a good start, but for the dukes, this situation was a little off.
If the alliance army wanted to march into Luoyang, they would need to take down a few passes. Among them, the most dangerous ones were naturally the Mushui Pass and the Tiger Cage Pass. Now that the credit for taking down the Mushui Pass had already been taken by Sun Tong, what would happen next?
