Dian Wei left the tent and got on his horse. Another war drum was sounded, accompanying Dian Wei go rode out to the field toward Hua Xiong who was waiting for him. The coalition army who saw this didn't have much hope for Dian Wei and thought that he would be Hua Xiong's victim, just like the other generals before him.
Hua Xiong: "I see that you have a different aura than those fools before you, introduce yourselves!"
Dian Wei: "I'm Dian Wei, Governor Lie Fan's general! You traitor scum, surrender and you will be spared!"
Hua Xiong: "Haha! Even though you have a different aura, that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you! Come and taste my blade!"
Hua Xiong began to ride toward Dian Wei, raising his glaive and preparing to strike Dian Wei. Dian Wei also rides toward him, holding his twin halberd and a loud shout to intimidate Hua Xiong.
When Hua Xiong and Dian Wei collide, the sound of their weapon clashing against each other reverberates across the field. Hua Xiong was surprised by the strength Dian Wei exhibited, he could feel that his strength was below Dian Wei by a large margin.
He even felt that it was like when he faced off in a duel with Lu Bu, the difference is Lu Bu's strength is much higher than Dian Wei with a more intimidating aura. Everyone was surprised when they heard the sounds of Hua Xiong's and Dian Aei's weapons colliding.
Li Jue and Guo Si who are at the top of the pass, watching the battle below with great focus. If Hua Xiong shows signs of him going to be defeated, they will send some of their soldiers to evacuate him.
All the Warlords began to grow optimistic since the first clash, they saw that Dian Wei had the upper hand. Hua Xiong receiving Dian Wei's first strike, felt his arms become numb, his heart was telling him to retreat after the third attack he received from Dian Wei if he couldn't finish him in 2 moves.
True to his heart, Hua Xiong's second attack on Dian Wei doesn't have that much power due to his hand being too numb. Dian Wei saw this, and using his twin halberd he thwarted Hua Xiong's glaive causing it to fly to the sky due to the heavy force he used.
Everyone especially Hua Xiong himself sees this and becomes surprised, Hua Xiong curses his numb arm that isn't 100% after dueling with 4 other generals even though they are easy opponents to him.
Li Jue and Guo Si saw this, they were also experienced generals from the frontier and knew that Hua Xiong was in trouble. Li Jue ordered for the gate pass to be opened, he sent 300 soldiers to cover Hua Xiong.
The war drums on Sishui Pass sounded, surprising the coalition warlord and soldiers. Seeing 300 men rushing out, heading toward Hua Xiong makes all of the warlords curse Dong Zhuo's generals.
Lie Fan: "Huang Zhong Come with me! Let's protect Dian Wei!"
Huang Zhong: "Yes My Lord, please sound the war drum!"
Cao Cao: "Givernor Lie Fan! Are you sure you want to interrupt the duel like this?"
Lie Fan: "Humph! this isn't a duel anymore, Doing Zhuo's side has broken that fact first."
After saying that, Lie Fan and Huang Zhong leave the main tent. They get on their horse, and when Kie Fan's army drum sounds 500 Guard Battalion follows Lie Fan and Huang Zhong ride out to the center of the field.
While both armies send their reinforcement, Hua Xiong who loses his main weapon takes out a sword from his hip. He attacked Dian Wei with a slash to his head, but Dian Wei managed to dodge the attack.
Before Hua Xiong can regain his body position, Dian Wei uses his twin halberd with both hands to cut off Hua Xiong's arm. Hua Xiong let out a pained cry, his soldier's morale began to fall and the coalition soldiers cheered loudly their morale rising.
Li Jue and Guo Si began to panic seeing this, seeing that the coalition army also sent their own cavalry they regretted not holding Hua Xiong back after the fourth duel.
Hua Xiong lost his right arm which was his main hand, and losing his sword makes Hua Xiong's combat effective hit low bottom. Dian Wei continues his onslaught on the defenseless Hua Xiong, he uses both of his twin halberds and slashes them at Hua Xiong's head.
Hua Xiong who saw this turned his horse with his left hand, trying to run away while dodging Dian Wei's move. Dian Wei who sees his love being dodged and Hua Xiong running away, becomes angry and throws one of his halberds at Hua Xiong hitting him on the head.
The Warlords and coalition soldiers cheered in their camp seeing that the invisible Hua Xiong was slain by Dian Wei. Li Jue and Guo Si who saw this knew they would get in trouble when they reported back to Dong Zhuo, losing his son-in-law.
300 Dong Zhuo's cavalry that tried to save Hua Xiong, seeing that Hua Xiong is slain they tried to save his corpse. Lie Fan and Huang Zhong leading 500 guard battalion managed to catch up with Dian Wei, together under Lie Fan's lead they attacked the 300 Cavalries.
The first blood was spilled, Hua Xiong a frontier general famed for his power and for putting fear in the heart of the Wuhuan, and Xiongnu was slain by Dian Wei. Lie Fan, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei seemed invincible leading 500 guard battalion, managed to retrieve Hua Xiong's head.
Hua Xiong's corpse was desecrated, only his body was left on the field. Of the 300 cavalries that were sent out to help Hua Xiong, 150 are dead due to the overwhelming number of Fan's guard battalion 2 on 1 and the rest now retreating bringing Hua Xiong's body.
Lie Fan, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei returned to the main tent of the coalition Army. They were welcomed splendidly by the other warlords, Cao Cao was envious of Lie Fan having Dian Wei while Liu Bei was disheartened that Guan Yu lost his chance to shine.
Yuan Shao: "Marvelous Governor Lie Fan! General Dian Wei is truly unparalleled! He can defeat Hua Xiong easily like that!"
Lie Fan: "It's all Disn Wei's hard work for him to have that kind of prowess, Leader I suggested that we attack Sishui pass now seeing as they have just lost their main general and their morale is low."
Sun Jian: "I seconded Governor Lie Fan, Leader what Governor Lie Fan said is true! We should attack them now, it's the perfect chance!"
Yuan Shao: "Good, Then everyone prepare your army and under my command, we will attack Sishui Pass! Lord Sun Jian and Governor Lie Fan, I hope you two are ready to lead the charge as the vanguard!"
Lie Fana and Sun Jian both saluted Yuan Shao, saying that they were ready. So under Yuan Shao's leadership, the coalition force attacked Sishui Pass.
Lie Fan and Sun Jian as the vanguard led the first wave of attack, they used a tactic from Jia Xu and Xun You to lead the soldiers attacking boast Dian Wei's might. This is to put fear in the opposing soldiers' hearts and use a shield wall making a turtle formation to protect the infantries from arrows.
Huang Zhong on the back alongside Chao Bo leads the Archer Battalion, they sniped the archers and infantries atop Sishui Pass. Jia Xu as the poisonous strategist, invented a new type of arrow that was tied to a small cloth bag.
Inside it was a chili powder, before it was shot they lit a small fire at the cloth bag, and when it reached the enemies flying above them the chili powder fell down stinging Dong Zhuo's soldier's eyes. The combination of these 3 strategies helped Lie Fan and Sun Jian smoothly reach the gate, where they protected the battering ram that was used to break through the gate.
Due to the size of the Sishui Pass gate and the oncoming Hulao Pass, the battering ram was made by Coalition Army engineers much larger so it moves slower than usual. Li Jue and Guo Si who is leading the defence now, ordered the archers to target the battering ram.
Sishui Pass's first battle was bloody and brutal, fortunately, Lie Fan has trained his army for this type of battle and their equipment is better than all of the coalition soldiers. Even with that, Lie Fan lost 1,000 men after the first skirmish ended, whereas Xun You calculated that in a week they could bring down Sishui Pass.
At Luoyang, a report was sent to Dong Zhuo and Li Ru about Hua Xiong's death. Dong Zhuo who heard this was immediately angry, scolding Li Jue and Guo Si for not holding Hua Xiong back.
Having a headache about how to explain this to his daughter, Dong Zhuo closed his eyes in annoyance. Li Ru saw this and suggested that Dong Zhuo send Lu Bu and 30,000 soldiers to guard Hulao Pass.
They underestimated the Coalition Army's power, a general as strong as Hua Xiong is a big threat, and sending Lu Bu was the only way to mitigate this problem. Dong Zhuo at a time like this listened to Li Ru, he agreed and ordered Lu Bu to take 30, 00 soldiers and guard Hulao Pass.
Lu Bu listened to the order, riding his new horse Red Hare he called for all of the Bing Army now his battalion headed towards Hulao Pass. Li Jue and Guo Si not knowing that the mighty Lu Bu they disdained now is guarding Hulao Pass, tried their best to defend Sishui Pass from the coalition.
During the second skirmish because of Hua Xiong's death, Dong Zhuo's soldiers' morale is at an all-time low. With the slogan praising Dian Wei's might, the resistance they put was easily broken through by the Coalition soldiers.
Dian Wei, Chao Bai, Fang Yue, and Ze Rong lead the Infantries from the front. Lie Fan and Zang Ba hold the cavalries, watching the battle from the rear. Suddenly the gate was opened and a bunch of cavalries rode out, killing the infantries operating the battering ram.
Dong Zhuo's cavalry managed to halt the attack on Sishui Gate, they rode out pushing through the sea of infantries. Lie Fan seeing this led his Guard Battalion alongside his bodyguards and Zang Ba who led the cavalry battalion, they headed out to stop Dong Zhuo's cavalry from causing more damage.

Dong Zhuo's cavalry managed to halt the attack on Sishui Gate, they rode out pushing through the sea of infantries. Lie Fan seeing this led his Guard Battalion alongside his bodyguards and Zang Ba who led the cavalry battalion, they headed out to stop Dong Zhuo's cavalry from causing more damage.
Lie Fan: "Zang Ba, you take the left flank and I take the right flank. Looks like the commander of this cavalry is a powerful general, with your strength now you need a long time to kill him let me handle it."
Zang Ba: "Yes My Lord, please be safe!"
Lie Fan: "Haha don't worry about me! I have my bodyguards the Yellow Ghost, they can protect my back from hidden danger! Come everyone follow my lead, hya!!"
Lie Fan led a 5,000-guard battalion entering the battle fray, with his bodyguards behind him they pursued Dong Zhuo's Cavalry.
This is the first clash between the Xiliang Cavalry and Xuzhou Cavalry, which will be recorded in history in the future as the dominance of the Xiliang Cavalry is being replaced slowly by the Xuzhou Cavalry.
Dong Zhuo's cavalry splits into two groups, one head to the right flank and the other go to the left flank. When they try to approach the scattering ram again, Huang Zhong leads the archer battalion to fire on them while a drum is sounded for the infantries to enter turtle formation.
Sun Jian who is at the frontline with his veteran generals, hears the drum sound and remembers Lie Fan saying that whenever he hears this sound immediately puts his shield above himself.
Sun Jian did just that, he told all of his generals and soldiers around him to do the same. Soon rain of arrows called down to the field, and Xiliang Cavalry momentum was interrupted by the arrow shooting their horses and not the riders.
As they lose their momentum, they lose their speed and the infantries surround them. At this time, Lie Fan finally arrived with the guard battalion on the right flank. He sees a man in his mid-thirties, who looks like the commander holding a great sword and attacking the infantries surrounding him.
Lie Fan with his bodyguard charges toward this man, Lie Fan swings his halberd attacking the Commander. The man immediately raised his greatsword to receive Lie Fan's attack colliding heavily.
Lie Fan: "Not all men can receive my attack, you have a great posture, and from how you lead your men you are experienced in leading cavalries, what's your name?"
Xu Rong: "I'm Xu Rong from Liaodong, General of Xiliang Army! You're Governor Lie Fan of Xu Province the war hero from Yellow Turbans Subjugation!"
Lie Fan: "Haha! How could General Xu Rong know that I'm Lie Fan?! Is it from how young I am?!"
Xu Rong: "Not just because you're young, it was said that you hold a halberd and wear a cloak with a dragon inscribed on it! Also, you have strong proof and are very proficient in martial arts, with those people behind you're back the Yellow Ghost? People who participated in the previous war knew about them."
Lie Fan: "Looks like General Xu Rong has taken an interest in me, knowing about my exploit and even my cloak!"
Lie Fan and Xu Rong are dueling against each other while having these exchanges, Lie Fan purposely does not use all of his strength to have a conversation with Xu Rong, a veteran general who specializes in leading cavalry.
He doesn't expect to meet Xu Rong here, the general who will ambush Cao Cao who is pursuing Dong Zhuo and succeed. Almost killing Cao Cao if not for Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan where Xiahou Dun killed him in a duel.
While both Xu Rong and Lie Fan are fighting against each other, his bodyguards are protecting him while the Guard battalion is attacking Xu Rong's cavalry. With the arched saddle, the Guard Battalion is very stable fighting on horseback compared to the Xiliang Cavalry rider.
Xu Rong can feel that Lie Fan doesn't fight him seriously, his heart is bleeding seeing his men being slaughtered by Lie Fan's cavalry and the infantries. He knew that he had to turn his position around, so after he parried Lie Fan's attack he turned his horse to distance himself from Lie Fan.
Lie Fan saw this and pursued him, his bodyguards and the Guard Battalion followed him from behind. Xu Rong is shouting for his men to follow him, they will retreat to Sishui Pass.
Xu Rong's men who heard this, also conveyed to their comrade while defending themselves. Soon the Xiliang Cavalry under Xu Rong is regrouping, making a beeline toward Sishui Pass.
Lie Fan and his men followed them from behind, Lie Fan wanted to capture Xu Rong and maybe he could turn him to his side. Because after Dong Zhuo died, he change sides with the Central Government under Wang Yun at the time even though the then killed by Li Jue and Guo Si.
He needs more general specialization in the cavalry, only he and Zang Ba can be said to specialize in leading cavalry. It doesn't mean that the other can't, it is just they also have their own unit they specialize in.
Lie Fan makes his horse run faster to catch up to Xu Rong, Xu Tong whose position is in the middle of his men doesn't know that Lie Fan is approaching. The Guard Battalion fell behind and couldn't keep up with Lie Fan, only his bodyguards were following Lie Fan right now.
Xu Rong's men in the rear of the formation turned their heads and saw Lie Fan with his bodyguard approaching, some decided to stay behind to halt them and let Xu Rong reach Sishui Pass which Xu Rong ordered them to not leave the formation.
They ignored Xu Rong's order, and 10 men stayed behind trying to halt Lie Fan who was pursuing Xu Rong. Lie Fan who saw this was a bit annoyed, he used all of his strength cutting down three men.
The others were so shocked that three of them instantly fell, Lie Fan's bodyguards also joined in and together they finished off the rest easily. Lie Fan then continued pursuing Xu Rong, when Xu Rong and his men near the Sishui Pass gate they found that the coalition infantries had cramped up the entrance.
The chance of Li Jue and Guo Si opening the gate is very low, with how the battering ram is being operated again to open the gate by force. He should have agreed with Li Jue's order, knowing that there was a secret entrance near Sishui Pass he tried to lead his men there but was too late.
Lie Fan and his bodyguards alongside the guard battalion have caught up to them, and they began to clash again Cavalry vs. Cavalry. Li Jue and Guo Si from atop the wall saw this situation, but they ignored it due to the siege battle ongoing right now.
The collation army has begun to put siege ladders on the shorter part of the walls, Li Jue and Guo Si have to focus on protecting the wall from being taken by the Coalition Army.
Lie Fan and Xu Rong are having a duel again, this time Xu Rong can feel Lie Fan begin to slowly use the prowess he has. Feeling his greatsword began to feel heavier every time he received Lie Fan's attack, Xu Rong began to feel that maybe this was his end.
Lie Fan saw the despair flashing across Xu Rong's eyes, he immediately used this chance using his halberd pole smashing it onto Xu Rong's helmet. Xu Ring receiving the blunt attack, began to feel dizzy and saw that the light in his eyes was fading, thinking in his heart so this is how he died.
Xu Rong fell from his horse and Xu Rong's men seeing this turned hysterical, they attacked the Guard Battalion with renewed vigor causing some casualties to the Guard Battalion.
Lie Fan ordered Gong Du to retrieve Xu Rong and bring him to Huang Zhong and Chao Bo's position as a prisoner, Going Du took Xu Rong's body and rode back to the rear of their position.
Dong Zhimuo's army guarding Sishui Pass has lost 2 of 4 generals assigned to guard Sishui Pass, the skirmishes continue until the 6th day of the siege, when Dian Wei and Taishi Ci managed to climb the wall using the siege ladder.
They guarded the position with their prowess, killing every Dong Zhuo's men who tried to kick the ladder off the wall. This buys some time for the coalition army to climb the ladders, and slowly they began to push back Dong Zhuo's soldiers.
Dian Wei and Taishi Ci were soon joined by Chao Bao, Ze Rong, and Fang Yue. They together led the attack, and Li Jue and Guo Si saw that the situation had turned to the worse.
Because the wall had been infiltrated, Dong Zhuo's army wasn't too focused on the gate and soon it was breached by the Coalition Army battering ram. Sun Jian led the charge entering the gate, Li Jue and Guo Si saw this and knew that Sishui's Pass had fallen to the hand of the Coalition Army.
Li Jue and Guo Si soon sounded the drum for Dong Zhuo's army to retreat, Dong Zhuo's men who heard the drum began to retreat leaving Sishui Pass behind through the western gate heading toward Hulao Pass. The retreat of Dong Zhuo's army from Sishui Pass signifies the Coalition Army's first victory.
The Coalition Soldiers cheered loudly with morale breaking through the roof, and the Warlords that didn't participate in the battle also cheered laughing happily. Under Yuan Shao's order, the Coalition Army passed through Sishui Pass and stationed outside the Western Gate.
Lie Fan uses this chance with everyone distracted, to send Xu Rong to Xiapi with Oriole members that were stationed in Sishui Pass, to imprison Xu Rong there waiting for his return to try and recruit him.
Lie Fan told the Oriole members to treat Xu Rong with respect and to explain to him that he apologized that he couldn't converse with him more as he had to continue the campaign, to wait for him in his house prison.
The Coalition warlords threw a banquet to celebrate the victory, lavish food and wine were served for the Warlords to enjoy. The Coalition Army also received more rations than usual, seeing as they had a spare supply from Doing Zhuo's army supplier that was abandoned.
Yuan Shao: "Haha Everyone let's cheer for Governor Lie Fan, General Sun Jian, and General Dian Wei as they have made the biggest contribution to our victory!"
Everyone: "Woo!"
Yuan Shao: "Without General Dian Wei slaying Hua Xiong combined with Governor Lie Fan and General Sun Jian leading the Vanguard I don't think we will achieve this victory!"
Lie Fan: "Leader you're compliment is too much making me embarrassed, everyone contributed to this victory especially you as without your leadership we would not have won the battle!"
Sun Jian: "Without the Lord Yuan Shao's coordination, we would not have achieved victory!"
Yuan Shao: "Haha you two are praising me so much! Come everyone enjoy the food and wine, tomorrow we will rest our bodies, and the day after that we will begin to march to Hulao Pass!"
The Coalition Warlords are having a banquet, Dong Zhuo in Luoyang receives the news that Sishui Oass has fallen, and now Li Jue and Guo Si along with the army from Sishui Pass at Hualo Gate reinforcing Lu Bu. The fall of Sishui Pass was a wake-up call for Doing Zhuo and Li Ru, fearing that they would be defeated at Hulao Pass, Li Ru suggested reinforcing Hulao Pass with more soldiers, and for Dong Zhuo to even lead the defense himself for morale.
