Chapter 426 – Beyond Jiameng Pass – The Chase
North of Zitong County
Han Sui's 55,000 cataphracts galloped in at their full speed, rushing back to Zitong.
One kilometer away east of Han Sui's rushing army, Zhang He's 20,000 knights were moving toward Zitong as well. However, his other 15,000 footmen were lagging behind, but they had not given up chasing after the knights.

*WHOOSH*
*WHOOSH*
14,000 light cavalries, armed with repeating crossbows, chased after Han Sui Army from behind and east flank, shooting arrows as they followed after the retreating troops.
The arrows did not harm Han Sui's men since cataphracts were immune to small projectiles because of their scale armors. However, a few arrows slipped through the gap of their defense and injured a handful of soldiers.
"Annoying pest! Rearguard battalions, turnabout! Wipe those chasers!"
