The coalition forces charged out and rescued Wu Anguo, and each side retreated to their own camps. They fought for ten rounds, but then Lü Bu slit off Wu Anguo's wrist with his halberd. Wu Anguo, a general under Kong Rong, then charged out with his metal club. Mu Shun, a general under Zhang Yang, galloped towards Lü Bu with his horse, but was immediately killed. Just then, Lü Bu's men arrayed outside the coalition camp, and the eight coalition warlords went to meet the enemy. Soon, the remaining five coalition warlords arrived at the camp, where they discussed and concluded that Lü Bu cannot be defeated by anyone. They decided to withdraw 30 li from the pass and set camp there. Fortunately for Wang Kuang, the forces of Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi came to his rescue. In less than five rounds, Fang Yue was killed, and Lü Bu charged through Wang Kuang's force, killing the routing soldiers left and right. The first to arrive in Hulao Pass was Wang Kuang, where one of his generals, Fang Yue, volunteered to duel Lü Bu. Eight coalition warlords, namely, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan, each led their forces towards Hulao Pass under Yuan Shao's command. The coalition decided to send half of their forces to engage Dong Zhuo's forces. Once at Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo ordered Lü Bu to lead the vanguard with 30,000 men and set camp in front of the fortified pass. Heeding the death of Hua Xiong, Dong Zhuo personally brought an army of 150,000 men with Lü Bu, Li Ru, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji east to Hulao Pass, while sending 50,000 men under Li Jue and Guo Si to reinforce Sishui Pass.
