Chapter 702: Defeating the Enemy with a Strange Sword
"So...Gu Yu took the last of our cavalry out and went to Ma Di to surrender?"
Lu Kang listened to the report expressionlessly and asked without any emotion.
"That's right, he took all the cavalry away..." Sun Shao also twitched the corners of his mouth, and replied without saltiness.
"I have sent someone to deliver a message to the Supreme. First, I asked the Supreme to take all Gu Yong's family into custody. But now... I'm afraid we don't have the cavalry to take care of them."
There were only a few cavalrymen in Soochow, and the only cavalry was bought by Sun Quan from Liaodong at a huge expense. It's good now, everything was given to Ma Su. Thinking about it, Sun Shao's heart was bleeding.
"No, no, I'm used to it anyway." Lu Kang didn't feel much about this, and he didn't have much trouble in his heart.
After fighting for so many years, there has never been any cavalry to take care of them. To them, this cavalry has always been equivalent to non-existence, and it has not had much impact on the deployment of land resistance.
The only thing that worried Lu Kang was that Ma Su might get this piece and turn around to mess with him. However, Lu Kang felt relieved when he thought that the Soochow cavalry were basically locals and would not turn against them so quickly.
Closer to home, since Ma Di himself has appeared near them, it means that the main force of the Han army is not far away. Although he knew that Ma Su could not lead too many people, Lu Kang decided to focus on defense first to be on the safe side.
However, before Lu Kang could adjust his deployment, a panicked scout rushed in to report to him.
"Grand Governor! The Han army is coming!"
"So fast?" Lu Kang was a little surprised, and subconsciously stood up and exclaimed.
How long has it been since Ma Su's investigation? Has this already hit his face?
But soon, the scout's next words made his face suddenly darken.
"Not only that, they are all cavalry! We must prepare ourselves as soon as possible!"
"All cavalry?" A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Kang's eyes, but his expression soon changed.
"It's broken! Gu Yu sent a horse to Ma Di!"

"Soldiers! Get your weapons and let's go give the Soochow rats a surprise!"
When Lu Kang received the news, Ma Di had actually circled to the side of the Wu army's formation. Looking at Wu Jun, who was already in confusion before the battle began, Ma Di showed a helpless expression.
Who knows, my family, I have already gone to Jiangnan, and ended up riding a horse again.
Because it was mentioned in Ma Su's elite military strategy that all elite soldiers must be proficient in equestrian skills. So even among the three hundred elites that Ma Di brought here this time, most of them were good at riding horses.
So when Gu Yu brought the Soochow cavalry over, Ma Di immediately drove them off, and then led his men to ride on the horses.
"Shijun, are you sure you want the soldiers to charge with this thing?" Liu Yin followed helplessly at this time, pointing to the equipment of the Han soldiers behind him and asked.
This Han soldier did not carry a sharp sword, but an extremely heavy long blade on his back. And this team is also the Mo Dao Army specially designed by Ma Su for infantry combat assaults!
Mo Dao is a weapon that Ma Di has always wanted to recreate. After all, this thing is a real killer weapon. It's just that because the production process is difficult after all, and Master Pu Yuan has passed away from illness, it is extremely difficult for Ma Su to reproduce.
It was not until a year ago that Ma Su re-engraved Mo Dao and put it into use immediately.
These three hundred people are the first generation of Modao Army trained by Ma Su!
"Of course I'm not asking them to charge with this thing, but I'm asking you to fight on foot and attack!" Ma Di shook his head, denied Liu Yin's words, and then ordered with a serious expression.
"Dismount the entire army! Fight with swords!"
Although there are horses, it is obviously not very reasonable to charge into the battle with such a heavy Mo Dao. Ma Su's original intention was to rely on this group of horses to allow Modao's army to quickly reach the battlefield.
Because they had been trained for a long time, the Mo Dao army quickly dismounted and formed an infantry square formation with Mo Dao in hand. All the soldiers were uniformly dressed in heavy armor, and their eyes revealed a fighting spirit that looked forward to death.
"Soldiers, we may die in this battle! Or we may completely defeat the enemy! But no matter what the outcome is, there will be a pension if you die, and a heavy reward if you win!"
"Even if you die in battle, our Han Prime Minister can still provide pensions to your family!"
Ma Su also jumped off his horse, quickly put on his helmet, and finally turned around and yelled at the soldiers.
"So what are you waiting for! Kill the enemy with me!"
Under Ma Su's encouragement, all three hundred Modao troops launched a charge.
Because of the horses given by Gu Yu, Ma Su appeared on Wu Jun's flank as if he was airborne. As Soochow's last military force, the Wu army had not yet reacted until Ma Su swaggered into formation and launched a charge!
When the soldiers of Soochow reorganized their formation in a panic, Ma Di was already close at hand!
"Quick! Stop them!" A Wu army general shouted in panic.
But no soldiers dared to intercept such a group of tin cans. Their equipment was so frightening that wherever they went, the Soochow soldiers would rather confront Pao Ze with their swords than face them.
The entire Modao team was like a sharp sword, tearing apart the Wu army's formation extremely easily. All the Wu soldiers who stood in front of them were chopped down to the ground by the sharp Mo Dao.
The reason why the Mo Dao is so complicated is that it is not only long, but also needs to be extremely sharp. After all, the Mo Dao soldiers can only use this weapon and cannot change it on the battlefield, so the quality must be up to standard.
Ma Su was also in trouble for a long time, and finally even improved the steelmaking technology himself, which made progress.
However, these crimes are meaningful. When he saw the Han army's Mo Dao cutting iron like mud and advancing forward, Ma Su smiled with relief.
Of course, if someone laughs, someone else will cry. When Lu Kang rushed over from the central army in a panic, he saw that the Wu army was like being cut into tofu and stabbed through.
Originally, this penetration impact was not the most serious blow to the team's formation. If the old soldiers in Jingzhou were still in hand, the situation could still be saved.
But obviously, what Lu Kang has now is a mob of people who are like frightened birds, mixed with a large number of new recruits. When Ma Su penetrated their army formation like a broken bamboo, all the soldiers collapsed at the touch of a button.
Defeated, defeated so easily by 300 Modao soldiers. Lu Kang almost went crazy and drew his sword to commit suicide.
At this time, Sun Shao rushed over to stop him and said,
"Youjie! We still have a chance to save ourselves! Let's gather the defeated soldiers and retreat to Jianye now, maybe we can still fight..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Ma Su's clear shout on the battlefield.
"All Yangzhou people just need to lay down their weapons immediately and go home, and we will forgive them! If you hold weapons and follow the king's army to fight the bandits, you will be rewarded!"
