Chapter 375 Burning Xiaoting
Sun Huan's army was vigorously chasing after him, but suddenly he heard a loud shout from the hill next to him, and his expression suddenly changed.
Was he ambushed? No, how could a large army be able to hide on this hill?
Sun Huan suddenly turned around and saw a white-robed general on the hill. Who else could he be if he wasn't Ma Su?
However, when Sun Huan saw the pitiful two or three hundred cavalry behind Ma Su, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turned out that there were only a few people. It scared me. I thought I was ambushed..." Sun Huan breathed a sigh of relief and soon gained confidence.
If Ma Su appeared here with a thousand cavalry, Sun Huan would definitely abandon his army and flee. But if Sun Huan dares to attack our ten-thousand-strong army with only these 100 or so men, it is true that Sun Huan is not vain.
After all, Sun Huan never really inquired about Ma Su's record, and the fact that Ma Su defeated Lu Xun by 300 did not come to him. At this moment, Sun Huan felt that he still had a chance in the face of Ma Qian and hundreds of people charging into the formation.
"Isn't this General Ma Su of Xishu? Thousands of people rushed into the formation before, why are there only a few left now? Where have the other cavalry gone?" Sun Huan snorted lightly, arranging his troops and not saying anything. Forget yelled and taunted.
Ma Su: "???"
"Who is this? When did Soochow have such an arrogant person?" Ma Di asked around, and was quickly reminded by his bodyguard,
"General, this is Sun Huan from Soochow!"
"With such arrogance, this son will never be allowed to stay!" Ma Di nodded and immediately said decisively.
"Everyone is a good torch, come with me! The whole army is keeping an eye on Sun Huan's position. I won't give up until Sun Huan is killed!"
"kill!"
At Ma Su's order, more than two hundred cavalry descended from the heights again, making an unstoppable impact on the Soochow soldiers and horses.
At this time, Sun Huan was still full of confidence. He had studied in Hefei and knew how to resist cavalry. Ma Su only has this kind of person, and if he rushes all the way down, he guarantees that he can... what the hell!
When Ma Di rushed down the mountain, Sun Huan realized that he seemed a bit naive. Ma Di's charging formation cannot be viewed with common sense. After all, not everyone can be extremely lucky to find a gap in the hedgehog-like formation that resists horses and rush in.
Soochow's loose horse-rejection formation was pierced by Ma Su very smoothly. The subsequent cavalry followed Ma Su and got into Soochow's formation along the gap. The more than ten thousand Wu troops had no suspense and quickly fell into chaos.
However, before Sun Huan could make any response, he saw a sudden fire in the army! Scattered flames suddenly appeared, and then burned quickly.
"What?" Sun Huan was shocked. He lowered his head suddenly and noticed a thick layer of dead leaves on the ground!
He was just paying attention to see if there was any ambush on the mountain. The situation was so suitable for a fire attack, but Sun Huan ignored it!
"What's wrong! We've fallen into a trap! Let's retreat quickly!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Before Sun Huan could give the order, Ma Zhong's troops had already set up their posture, and countless rockets came overwhelmingly at the command!
The flaming arrows landed on the ground, making sparks quickly and then spreading. In just a moment, the chaotic Soochow army was already full of flames.
Of course, this was not the most dangerous, because Sun Huan suddenly discovered that Ma Di was not coming towards him, but was cutting the Soochow army formation in half with a penetration.
While attacking, they also set fire. In just one stick of incense, Wu Jun was surrounded by fire!
"kill!!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!"
For a time, the Han army's killing noise was loud, and the Wu army was facing the chaos, pouring fire oil and shooting rockets. Sun Huan wanted to resist, but under Ma Su's conflict, his order could not be conveyed at all.
Ancient military formations were very important. They not only represented organization, but also represented whether military orders could be effectively conveyed. When the army is all in chaos, you won't be able to find anyone to carry out your military orders.
The most important thing is that after the fire burned, Ma Di did not run out. He led three hundred cavalry into the sea of fire and charged straight towards Sun Huan!
Is Ma Su dying with him?
Sun Huan was frightened and angry. While trying to stabilize the army, he had to assign personal guards to protect himself.
For a time, fires burst into the sky in the mountains and forests near Xiaoting, and countless Soochow soldiers ran away in the sea of fire. Many unlucky souls were squeezed directly into the sea of fire and were quickly burned to charcoal.
The fire at this moment made Sun Huan seem to understand what Liu Bei felt when he was in Yi Dao. Under such a raging fire, any life is extremely fragile, and there is no hope at all!
More than 10,000 soldiers were completely disorganized under the sea of fire. Both generals and soldiers fled in all directions, just wanting to survive. However, facing the Han army's suppression from all sides, any fleeing Soochow soldiers were shot dead.
In an instant, most of the dead were still obeying Sun Huan, and only a few of his personal guards were left. Seeing Ma Su getting closer and closer, Sun Huan was completely desperate.
"Ma Su! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost! Just wait and die with me!" After saying that, Sun Huan drew his sword and killed himself when Ma Su arrived, and died on the spot.
As long as I die quickly enough, you can't even try to capture me!
Sun Huan committed suicide and died, and Soochow's last chance of struggle disappeared. Thousands of Soochow soldiers fled everywhere, and each of them became a lamb to be slaughtered, without the ability to resist.
"General! Sun Huan is dead! How are we going to rush out next?" When the guard saw Sun Huan killing himself, he pulled Ma Su and asked honestly.
Sun Huan was right. Ma Di took the risk and rushed in after setting the fire just to seek death. At this moment, Sun Huan died and the Wu army was in chaos. What faced Ma Su was how to rush out of the sea of fire.
If he couldn't get out, Ma Di would have to follow in Sun Huan's footsteps.
In other words, this is Ma Su pretending to die inadvertently. As long as there are no big surprises, it should be...
"Boom!" At this moment, a roar of thunder interrupted Ma Su's thoughts, causing Ma Su's expression to change and he quickly looked up.
At this moment, the sky has been covered with dark clouds for some time...
Ma Su: "???"
Damn it, some people can’t afford it!
Obviously, sometimes destiny cannot be accepted. Before Ma Su could curse, raindrops were already falling from the sky.
Just like the old thief Sima Shanggu in the novel should not have died, a heavy rain fell just after Sun Huan committed suicide. The wildfire, which was not that big at first, was quickly suppressed by heavy rain and was quickly extinguished.
Not to mention Ma Su, even Ma Zhong outside and the thousands of Shu troops below were confused. Fortunately, Ma Zhong reacted quickly and quickly ordered a siege, and issued an order not to kill those who surrendered.
Sun Huan had committed suicide, and the remaining Soochow soldiers who survived the disaster all surrendered smoothly. At the same time, all the soldiers who had experienced this battle had an idea in their hearts.
It turns out that General Zhengbei really knows the magic of ghosts and gods!
But what Ma Su had in mind was
"Grass! (a plant)"
