Chapter 500: Breaking the Eastern Wu Naval Division
When the Eastern Wu Shuai Banner fell and the Wu army was in chaos, the morale of the Han army was high.
Originally, he had been pressed and beaten by Dongwu for so long, and the new recruits who had just entered the battle were a little unable to bear it. But when they found that the enemy army was in chaos and only the idea of running away was left, all the Han soldiers were excited.
"Guys, the hussar general has killed the opposing commander for us and cut down the enemy's banner! Now that the Dongwu formation is in chaos, don't kill it at this time, but when! Ma Tan's subordinate who left the Overseer immediately stood up and shouted at the Han soldiers with their swords drawn.
"The general often teaches us that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road! Meritorious deeds are made today, kill!! ”
"Kill!!"
"Fight with them!"
"You have to drag a cushion back to death!"
Under such encouragement, the Han army's fighting spirit quickly burst out. One by one, the soldiers who couldn't find the north who hadn't fought just now dared to chase Dongwu to fight.
Even some soldiers were not satisfied, so they directly chased and jumped on the ship of Soochow, and desperately wanted to kill two more Soochow soldiers.
This is all military merit, especially Ma Jian also specially ordered that the military merit obtained in the water war be rewarded twice. In the case of such a heavy reward and a great tailwind, even the most cowardly person will have the courage of an overlord.
Under this situation, the Eastern Wu Navy suffered an extremely rare defeat. And it was a victory and then a defeat, a shocking reversal on the eve of a win.
Especially at this moment, Lu Xun jumped into the water from a height of more than ten meters, and directly fell into a serious coma, and his life and death were unknown. And the entire flagship was directly served by Ma Tan, and Dongwu was scattered up and down.
In this way, the Han army could rely on the formation that had not yet broken up and forcibly attacked the Soochow naval army. The two sides fought again on the river, and the battle was extremely tragic.
But in the end, Soochow was still the first to be unable to resist. Under the strong blow of the Han army, the formation of the Wu army was completely crushed. Ships large and small began to retreat desperately, and basically nothing was taken care of.
But at this time, there was a problem, because the building ship of Soochow was out of touch.
Such a huge thing is extremely bulky in itself. If there is no ship to escort it, it will be difficult to maintain the combat power of the building ship.
And now, the boats are all gone, and the boats are out of touch. After finding that they were abandoned by the large army, the soldiers on the building boat also abandoned the ship one after another, which further accelerated the process of the Han army.
The battle lasted almost an hour, and both sides invested nearly 10,000 troops and hundreds of ships on the river. But the final outcome turned into a defeat of the Eastern Wu naval army, and Lu Xun's life and death were unknown.
The Han army pursued the victory all the way, captured two building ships in one go, and pursued the Dongwu naval army for more than ten miles. It was not until the arrival of the receiving troops of Eastern Wu that the Han army stopped the pursuit and slowly withdrew with two building boats.
In this battle, the Han navy won the first battle, and miraculously defeated the invincible Soochow navy!
In the midst of the cheers, Ma Jian shook his head helplessly on the boat. He looked at the injuries all over his body, counted his own record in this battle, and couldn't help sighing.
"With this method that the Heavenly Dao can't afford to play, I probably won't be able to succeed in dying on the battlefield in my life, right?"
"RNM God!!"

The Yidao Water Battle can be said to be the first battle of the newly built naval army of the Han Dynasty. This time, under the leadership of Ma Yan, the Han army defeated the strong with the weak and successfully defeated the Dongwu naval army, which had dominated the Yangtze River for more than ten years.
Although the victory was lucky, it greatly boosted the morale of the Han army and shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Eastern Wu naval army (or the myth at all)
At the same time, in this battle, a large number of sailors and soldiers have gained a certain amount of experience, which also allows Ma Tan to see how to fight a real water war. Less than 2,000 soldiers who survived the battle have also become veterans, which are extremely valuable resources.
Of course, the biggest gain in this battle was to grab two building ships from the Soochow Naval Army. When this thing was dragged back to Yidao City, Guan Xing was shocked by its magnificent appearance.
Then Guan Xing threw away all the interrogation tasks, and had to live in this building to observe it well.
And Soochow can be said to have pinched a hand and lost this time. Not only did the navy return with heavy losses, the building ship lost its essence, and even the metropolitan governor Lu Xun was seriously injured and fell into a coma, which can be said to have lost all face.
In particular, Lu Xun himself was unconscious and his injuries were too serious, and he was helpless in the army, so he could only be sent back to Jiangling for medical treatment. As soon as Lu Xun left, the Eastern Wu army lost its command in an instant, and there was no longer the ability to threaten Yidao for a while.
Even because of the failure of its internal command, there was even chaos in the Wu army. If Ma Tan wanted to, he could completely annihilate the entire Wu army in two days.
But Ma Jian didn't do that, after all, it was not in line with the strategy. If they were all killed, the remaining defenders of Gangneung would not be able to bite them to death, and it would be troublesome.
Ma Tan's goal was Gangneung, and he didn't care about such a little Eastern Wu soldiers and horses at all.
Therefore, after the Wu army outside Yidao City lost its threat, Ma Jian set his sights on the south.
I see that Ding Feng in the south is also beautiful......
So, after some preparations, Ma Tan found Xiang Zhong and asked him to continue to be in charge of the defense of Yidao City. And he quietly took more than 100 people from his headquarters to walk the path and quickly rushed to the aid of Wuling.
Quietly enter the city, don't shoot, give Ding Feng a big surprise!

And when the dust of Yidao City basically settled, the front-line battle in Wuling was much more lively.
Ding Feng himself is a veteran of an era earlier than Lu Xun, and his strategy and martial arts are quite extraordinary. And Lu Xun gave him a lot of soldiers and horses, with an army of 20,000.
On the other side of him, the defenders of Wuling were a little thin. In addition to the three thousand Wuling soldiers commanded by Xing Daorong, there were only a few thousand Wuxi barbarian soldiers.
So from the beginning of the battle, Xing Daorong and the others were basically pressed to the ground by Ding Feng and rubbed. In the end, Xing Daorong had to retreat into the city, relying on the advantage of the terrain to defend it, which blocked Ding Feng.
But even so, the Wuling defense line was still precarious, and the fall was imminent.
But at this time, Ding Feng suddenly received an urgent report from Yidao.
"What? Bo Yan was chased by Ma Jian in the water battle, and he was seriously injured in the water and fell into a coma? When Ding Feng saw the battle report, he was stupid. He didn't expect that Lu Xun, who had always been steady, would be defeated by Ma Tan in the water battle that Soochow was best at, and he was seriously injured and unconscious.
No matter how strong Ma Jian is, can he still crush Soochow in the water war?
However, after being stunned, Ding Feng quickly sensed the crisis. Once this news spreads, the morale of the Shu army will be greatly boosted, and Wuling may be even more difficult to fight.
If it is not handled properly, they will probably return in vain this time, which is unacceptable to Ding Feng.
"It looks like we have to take a risk and try to storm Wuling!"
