While Tong was battling at Hulao Gate, Li Feihong and the others were still camping on the opposite side of Yellow River.

Messages kept coming every second, which could drive any mortal insane within a day. However, Li Feihong got used to it as he lived with these sounds for 20 years.
To him, these sounds were like music, and it was proof that he was still alive. Furthermore, his mental fortitude was now stronger than everyone within the Mountaineer Legion, including Lu Bu.
As Li Feihong was concentrating on his private world's management, Zhang Liao visited him.
”Feihong, all troops are ready. Tong sent words that we have to cross the river by nightfall.”
Li Feihong closed his system menu and looked back, ”Get everyone in my world. We'll open one gate behind the enemy's line and another gate behind the walls of Luo Yang.”
”What about the combat policy? Have you talked with Ju Shou?”
”Yes. Ju Shou will remain on the north shore with 10,000 men and become our decoy. Zhang He will take care of the city raiding while our legion will clean the soldiers on the south shore.”

= Three days later =
Hua Xiong watched the shoreline without blinking. From Khan's order, he had to stop Tong's 100,000 soldiers from crossing the river.
However, both legions on the opposite side of the river had not constructed a boat or showed a sign of preparation to cross to this side.
”Odd.”
Hua Xiong's instinct told him that he fell into the enemy's trap even though they had yet to fight.
”Very odd.”
Hua Xiong clicked his tongue and rode back to his tent. He texted Khan in the clan chat.
Hua Xiong: ”Zhang Tong's armies haven't moved, but I think we're going to suffer a major loss.”
Hua Xiong: ”I need help.”
Khan: ”Why do you think you'll lose?”
Hua Xiong: ”Instinct. I can just tell.”
Khan: ”I'm retreating back to Luo Yang. When I reach there, we'll pull back to Hongnong.”
Khan: ”I should reach Luo Yang before the sunset. Before I arrive, avoid fighting with their soldiers head-on. Once we get back to Chang'An, this coalition will fall apart.”
Hua Xiong: ”Alright.”
…
10 Minutes later after the Hua Xiong reorganized the four battalions of Han Sui, Li Jue, Guo Si, and his troops, Hua Xiong and all soldiers saw black smokes coming from Luo Yang City's direction.
The location between the south shore and Luo Yang was 40 kilometers away, which translated to one day distance of forced marching or two to four days of regular marching on foot.
As cavalry units of Xiongnu, they could reach the city in a couple of hours.
”What happens in the city?”
Soldiers gossiped and guessed about the black smoke, which was expanding. For every second, the black cloud got more intense as more sources of the smoke increased.
Hua Xiong clicked his tongue. His skins had been itching for the past 10 minutes that he could not suppress his inner voice anymore.
It had been yelling in his mind that he had to retreat now!
”ALL UNITS, RUSH TO HONGNONG, NOW! ABANDON ANY UNNECESSARY BAGGAGE AND MOVE!”
Hearing the yell of Hua Xiong, all soldiers and the three generals were shocked.
