Chapter 533 Lu Xun commits suicide and Soochow is defeated

"kill!!"

With the collapse of the Soochow front, the Han cavalry successfully took over the battlefield. With five thousand cavalry joining the battlefield, Soochow had no hope of struggling.

For a time, Soochow's front was in chaos. The Han cavalry in red armor brandished their blades and continued to harvest the lives of Wu soldiers in the Wu army's formation. There were shouts and wailings from all directions, and the battlefield was completely a one-sided massacre.

At this time, Lu Xun no longer looked nervous or panicked at all. His expression returned to calmness, and under the protection of several attendants, he sat upright on the chariot under the commander's banner.

"Captain! Our army is defeated! Let's leave quickly!" At this time, a captain rushed over in panic. Seeing Lu Xun sitting here as if nothing had happened, he panicked for a moment.

"Let's go? Where else can we go?" Lu Xun smiled softly, looking at the loyal captain and asked calmly.

"Go back to Jiangling, go back to Xiakou, or even go back to Chaisang! You are the Commander-in-Chief, and now you are the only one who can control the situation!" The Commander-in-Chief was sweating profusely and wanted to pull Lu Xun away as he spoke. battlefield.

"You are the most reliable commander-in-chief of our Wu Army. If you die here, who can take over?"

"It's useless. I can no longer turn the tide like I did back then. The Supreme Lord no longer trusts me." Lu Xun shook his head and rejected the suggestion of escaping.

"It's useless to go back. I still have to be insulted by the wealthy people in Yangzhou. Perhaps dying in this battle is the best destination for me."

"You do the same, take off your armor, change into civilian clothes and run away for your life. Never go to the battlefield again!"

After speaking, Lu Xun held a figure wearing white armor in the distance and led hundreds of Shu army cavalry to kill him directly. The Wu troops along the way were scattered and crushed as if they were being divided into waves, unable to cause any resistance at all.

"It seems that Ma Su can't wait any longer. I should probably hit the road." Lu Xun laughed, with endless bitterness in his smile.

I think he originally wanted to serve Sun Quan, but the whole family didn't want him. He was loyal to the Sun family throughout his life, but it was a pity that he got to this point in the end.

What else can I say, I can only pray that I won’t be on the wrong team again in my next life.

"I will die for a crime other than war!" After saying the last words, Lu Xun fiercely pulled out his sword, and in the eyes of the attendants, he swiped the sword across his neck!

"Grand Governor!"

"Captain!"

"General Lu!"

Amidst the panicked shouts, Lu Xun fell down. This Governor-General of Soochow finally achieved his liberation.

Not long after Lu Xun committed suicide, Ma Di fought his way through the Wu army and came to the banner of Dongwu Commander. Unfortunately, he found out that he arrived a step too late and let BYD Lu Xun leave early.

"It's a pity. I also want to ask you, who killed my brother in the first place..." Ma Di looked at Lu Xun's body and couldn't help but shake his head.

His attitude towards Lu Xun is still a bit complicated, not as pure as towards Sun Quan. Although they also had a deep hatred for each other, he still admired the last sword holder of Soochow.

It was not easy for Lu Xun to be able to persist in operating for such a long time despite the burden of so many pig teammates. If it had been Ma Su, he would have joined Soochow Huangpao a few years ago...

"In short, a rich burial." Ma Di waved his hand and ordered his subordinates, then looked at Lu Xun's attendants,

"Did Lu Boyan have any last words before he died? Or did he have any last wishes? He and I cherish each other, and I respect him."

Ma Su's attitude made Lu Xun's attendant hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said,

"Before he died, Governor Lu still hoped to defend Jiangling. He has now sent the rear troops to withdraw, hoping..."

"What? Someone ran away?" Before he finished speaking, Ma Su was already on the horse again.

"I brought so many people here, how can someone run away? Where can I put my face? Long Wuyi gathered all the troops and chased me! No one can run away!"

Lu Xun’s attendant: “???”

Are you deceiving us with those few words you just said?

…………

In the battle of Dangyang, the last elite troops of Soochow in Jingzhou were basically wiped out. Almost all of the 40,000 elite troops were defeated by the Han army at Changbanpo, and the entire army collapsed.

I have to say that the battlefield chosen by Liu Yin is indeed very suitable. On this large plain, the Han cavalry could maximize its mobility.

Especially with the cavalry numbering up to 5,000, the Han army had sufficient manpower. Under such circumstances, Wu Jun, who was always good at escaping, could not escape now.

Their escape speed was indeed very fast, and it was impossible for the Han army to catch him based on the infantry pursuit alone. But in front of the five thousand Han cavalry, one man and three horses, they could only lament that they didn't have two more legs.

With the coordination of the Han army's infantry and cavalry, almost no one of the 40,000 Wu troops could escape. All the soldiers of Wu Army were either hacked to death or dropped their weapons and surrendered. At that time, the entire Changban slope was densely packed with prisoners of Wu Army squatting everywhere.

When Liu Yin gathered the prisoners, Ma Di quickly led his old subordinate Qu Long Wuyi to quickly go south to pursue him. The retreat unit arranged by Lu Xun failed to escape and was defeated by Ma Di in a battle in the north of Jiangling.

It was in this battle that all the Soochow generals finally understood how much water Ma Di had put on them before.

Along the way, Ma Di blocked and killed people, and even broke three double-headed guns. Any Wu general who tries to fight Ma Su will not survive three rounds!

The two sides fought bloody battles for two days and two nights. With Ma Su's all-out efforts, the Soochow army was finally completely wiped out!

With the end of this battle, the huge number of Soochow prisoners even required Xiangyang to send militiamen to support them. After this battle, Soochow's last strength in Jingzhou was completely wiped out.

"Your Majesty! In this battle, we captured 6,000 thieves and captured more than 20,000 Wu soldiers. Countless of them died in the rebellion!"

After Ma Su returned to Dangyang, Liu Yin immediately came up to report the good news to him. In this battle, the Wu army suffered the most casualties due to a stampede. Many soldiers died without their bodies intact, and it is difficult to include them in the battle report.

But no matter what, this battle can be regarded as a great victory, enough for Liu Chan to get up early and hold a court meeting to personally award the reward.

However, Ma Su didn't care about this. He just looked at Liu Yin sideways and smiled faintly.

"Xiuren, do you know the consequences of disobeying military orders and sending troops without authorization?"

Ma Su's words made Liu Yin's smile freeze, and then he shrank his neck. Seeing his general's charming smile, Liu Yin had an ominous premonition.

"Your Majesty! Fighters are fleeting and time waits for no one! There is nothing I can do!"

"What's more, don't you also like to express yourself freely? Most of the time, victory is not achieved by rigidly executing military orders!"

"Then do you know how the Prime Minister punished me for disobeying military orders?" Ma Su smiled even more and said to Liu Yin with a smile.

"Your Majesty! No!"
