Chapter 371: Defeat Lu Xun
At this moment, Lu Xun was struck by Ma Su's magic, and his situation quickly turned 360 degrees. The situation that was about to capture Fancheng suddenly turned into Lu Xun being surrounded by the Han army.
Of course, the most important problem was that Ma Di suddenly retook Xiangyang, and more than a dozen ships of the Wu army were burned on fire. Thirty thousand Wu troops were stuck in a small stretch of open space between Xiangyang and Fancheng, unable to advance or retreat!
Lu Xun had not considered this situation at all. In his conception, the big devil should be held back by 100,000 Wei troops in Yingchuan. But not only was he not in Yingchuan, but he had been in Xiangyang long before they stabbed him...
Obviously even a fool can see that this is a long-planned trap by the Shu Han!
Thinking of this, Lu Xun's face turned a little ugly, but he didn't expect this at all.
But now, for Lu Xun, the top priority was no longer to curse Ma Su for his cunning. Their more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were forced to stay in such a small piece of open space, and there was no terrain around them to rely on.
Once Ma Su leads the Shu Han's all-conquering Yongliang cavalry out, there is no guarantee that he will not become the second Sun Shiwan... ah, no, Lu Sanwan.
"The whole army will advance eastward quickly, relying on the hilly terrain to the east to set up camp, and build antlers to block it!" Lu Xun reacted quickly, turned his head with a serious expression and gave orders to his troops.
"I'm afraid Ma Su's army will arrive soon. We must be prepared!"
Ma Su's reputation had already spread, and Lu Xun would not naively think that the Shu army's iron cavalry Wu army could stop the Wei army.
Lu Xun's reaction was already very quick, but from the moment Ma Su started taking action, he was already too late. When all rules and combat locations are controlled by your enemy, the consequences are disastrous.
Lu Xun's 30,000 troops fled eastward in an emergency, intending to build a camp based on the hilly terrain to the east. Under the shelter of the antlers and the camp, they waited for reinforcements from South County to arrive.
However, when Lu Xun led his army to march eastward, the entire army marched urgently to prepare for defense in the Yangqiu area. Yangqiu was the only place with some slight terrain on this side, so Lu Xun had no choice.
Thirty thousand Wu troops marched quickly to Yangqiu. However, before they were ready to set down camp, a large flag was suddenly raised from the top of the hill.
"The Han Dynasty marched to the north with its generals and horses"
As soon as the flag was raised, shouts suddenly sounded from the forest behind the hill. Countless Han soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rose up and launched a surprise attack on the Soochow soldiers and horses who were unprepared or even prepared to no avail!
"Sun Boyan! You, Sun Jian's illegitimate son, must die here today!"
Ma Su, wearing strong armor and sharp swords, led Han Qingqiu with three hundred horses, and suddenly appeared on Yangqiu. The whole army is like a divine weapon descending from heaven, just like Sun Quan Xiaoyaojin and Zhang Liao.
"kill!!"
"Avenge the late emperor!"
"Kill all the rats from Soochow!"
Most of the Han soldiers that Ma Su led this time were from the old Jingzhou troops. And a large part of them are former veterans of Guan Yu who hated Soochow very much.
This group of Jingzhou veterans have a very different opinion of Soochow, and each of them has a bone-deep hatred for Soochow. At this moment, when it was time to beat the drowned dog, most of the Han soldiers moved forward vigorously.
As the vanguard of the army, Ma Su led the cavalry down from the heights and rushed toward Lu Xun's commanding flag!
When Zhang Liao used 800 cavalry to attack you with 100,000 people, now I have 300 cavalry to attack you with 30,000 people. Shouldn't it be regarded as bullying?
The Han army's ambush suddenly broke out, and the Dongwu front army became chaotic almost instantly. Especially when Ma Su showed up, some veterans were already ready to run away.
Under such a situation, Ma Di led 300 cavalrymen to rush down from the heights and broke through the Soochow front army without any effort. In the chaotic Soochow army formation, Ma Su had a clear goal and rushed towards Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was not surprised when he saw this. He just waved his hand gently to signal Ding Feng to lead his troops to intercept.
He also thought that Ma Su would wait for him here in advance, but what could he do? They are all blocked here. No matter what he does, he cannot avoid the final outcome.
Fortunately, the thousand Danyang soldiers commanded by Ding Feng were his final insurance. If Ding Feng could hold Ma Su back, there would be a chance to save the battle.
Lu Xun's hopes were shattered after Ding Feng led his troops and encountered Ma Su. The invincible Danyang elite soldiers faced the Han Qingqi with stirrups and horseshoes. They had almost no ability to resist and were beaten through for life!
Before Ding Feng even met Ma Su, he was shot by a figure behind Ma Su with an arrow.
Hmm...that figure looks a bit familiar!
After defeating Ding Feng, Ma Su did not stop at all, and the cavalry rushed straight towards Lu Xun's position. As long as Lu Xun is eliminated, the remaining Soochow soldiers and horses will completely collapse.
"Commander, let's go!" Seeing Ma Di's unstoppable momentum, several lines of defense along the way were cut through by Ma Di. Lu Xun's soldiers couldn't calm down anymore and quickly pulled Lu Xun onto his horse to escape.
If he runs too slow and his captain dies in battle, something will happen to the whole Jingzhou.
However, Lu Xun was escorted by his own soldiers and retreated, but Ma Di was obviously unwilling to let this man go. Three hundred cavalrymen pursued him, staring at Lu Xun and refusing to give up.
Because of Ma Di's fierce pursuit, Lu Xun had to run all the way, and in the end he didn't even dare to carry the flag. This also caused Lu Xun to be unable to issue orders, and the command system of the 30,000 Soochow army was instantly paralyzed.
At the same time, the Han army rushed out from all directions and quickly defeated the front army of Soochow. Then thousands of Dongwu troops from the former army were driven all the way by the Han army to attack the Chinese army, and then the Chinese army, which had lost its command system, was also overwhelmed.
For example, more than a thousand Danyang soldiers from Ding Feng's headquarters were scattered among the rebellious army. Ding Feng single-handedly broke out of the rebel army and fled south.
As for General Zhuge Zhi, he was not so lucky. His bodyguards were completely devastated and died tragically among the rebels.
In just two hours, Soochow's 30,000-strong army collapsed. When the defeated troops scattered and fled, they happened to encounter Xiang Chong's army rushing for reinforcements. Tens of thousands of people had no way to retreat and were forced to surrender.
In the end, Lu Xun, with all his own soldiers behind him, left with only a dozen personal guards, abandoning their helmets and armor. Another Ding Feng also abandoned his troops and fled over the mountain alone.
It's a pity that Zhang He is not here, otherwise Ding Feng wouldn't be able to escape no matter what.
In the end, Ma Di and Xiang Chong attacked from both sides and captured more than 10,000 Soochow soldiers. The result was extremely astonishing.
"It's true as General Zhengbei said! Lu Xun was defeated, and the thirty thousand people in Soochow were defeated!" Xiang Chong couldn't help but feel good when he saw such a glorious victory, and complimented Ma Su.
However, Ma Su didn't express anything about this, he just patted Xiang Chong on the shoulder and said.
"The war is not over yet! This time I have to teach Sun Laoer a painful lesson."
"Take over General Xiang to defend Xiangyang, and together with General Wu from Xinye, block Zhu Ran's way back south. I must lead the troops south immediately, and there are still big fish to confiscate the nets!"
"Big fish? You mean..." Xiang Chong was startled for a moment, and then he understood something.
"General, go with peace of mind. With me here in Xiangfan, Zhu Ran can't even think of escaping!"
