Meanwhile, Zhang He also turned around to prepare for a charge but saw that the majority of Zhao Yun's forces were not in disarray. They halted their momentum and quickly formed a formation to retreat from the ambush circle.
Zhao Yun sized up the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry opposite him and then glanced at the ambushing archers. After estimating his own troop strength, he was unwilling to exert pointless effort and immediately began to withdraw slowly. After creating some distance, the White Horse Righteous Followers swiftly evacuated the area like the wind, and Zhang He did not pursue them.
Zhang He weighed the forces on both sides and eventually gave up on chasing. The mission was already complete.
Chen Xi sat in the carriage waiting for Zhao Yun to return, feeling somewhat puzzled by this inexplicable ambush. As for whether his current location would come under attack, Chen Xi was not worried.
