In the eyes of Lu Xun and Liu Yin, smoke and dust rose from the east. In the endless smoke and dust, countless cavalry swarmed out of it.

At this time, Liu Yin also saw that something was coming, but he was not nervous.

This is definitely not the cavalry of Eastern Wu, they can't get together so many people. And these cavalry, almost without exception, are all riding Xiliang horses, which is not even Cao Wei.

Since it is not Dongwu or Cao Wei, there is only one possibility.

"It seems that the envoy still didn't hold back, but it was really timely!" Liu Yin couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Yin relaxed, but Dongwu was completely panicked. Especially when Lu Xun saw the mighty Han cavalry rushing in the distance, his face turned pale all of a sudden.

Before the war, he thought about all the possibilities. He has thought about being surrounded by horses, he has thought about being ambushed, and even the possibility of running into the main force of the Shu army as soon as he leaves the city.

However, he never thought that at this juncture, he would bump into the Xiliang cavalry that Xishu was proud of!

This is the worst ending in all Lu Xun's expectations!

"It's a complete suck!" Lu Xun's face changed greatly, and he had no idea of continuing to fight with Liu Yin, so he ordered a retreat as soon as possible.

"The rear army goes first! Throw all your baggage weapons behind and flee back to Gangneung as fast as you can! Lu Xun turned his head and ordered urgently to his henchmen, even a little hysterical.

"After escaping back to Gangneung, he immediately erected a big banner and closed the gate to defend the city! It is impossible to win this battle, and the next step for the Shu army is definitely to storm Jiangling! ”

"So now listen to my orders and get out quickly!"

One henchman immediately took the order, but soon he turned to look at Lu Xun again,

"Governor, what do you do? How do you withdraw? ”

"Me? It doesn't matter anymore."

Lu Xun smiled bitterly, waved his hand gently, and a trace of death flashed in his eyes. His henchman immediately understood, and his face became a little more serious.

"Governor! Take care! ”

After speaking, Lu Xun's henchmen quickly took Lu Xun's order and went straight to the rear army.

Now Lu Xun has completely despaired of the prospects, and it is one by one to go back alive. And he himself can only take the remaining troops with him to provide hope for the retreat of the rear army troops.

Just when Lu Xun urgently ordered the rear army to retreat, the cavalry of the Han army also officially appeared in the sight of the soldiers of Eastern Wu. As far as the eye could see, countless cavalry rushed out of the smoke and dust, pressing them down with a overwhelming force.

The soldiers of Yangzhou, who are based in the southeast all the year round, have never seen a cavalry corps of this scale. Therefore, as soon as they appeared, the Dongwu side paid tribute to the military chaos.

There was no way, Zhang Liao only dispatched 800 cavalry in Hefei, and Sun Quan's 100,000 army could not find the north. And this time, the Han army dispatched a full 5,000 elite cavalry!

Originally, Ma Tan only planned to ask for the 3,000 cavalry of Ma Dai's headquarters, and it was enough to deal with Eastern Wu. However, Ma Dai felt unsafe before leaving, so he borrowed an additional 2,000 cavalry from Wu Yi, and by the way, he also brought Ma Yan's old subordinate Long Wuyi from a piece.

Five thousand cavalry, the whole south can't get this soldier or horse!

And Ma Tan was also riding on a white horse at the moment, leading the cavalry to charge at the front of the whole army.

Under the mighty charge, the whole earth trembled. And the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, like the death knell of death, struck the hearts of the Wu soldiers!

"Don't mess around! Fight the enemy! Lu Xun personally ran to the front of the formation, drew his sword and shouted at the soldiers of the various departments.

"It's not a big deal, end the Horse Formation! Poke this group of Shu people into hedgehogs! ”

Although the Wu army lacked cavalry, the configuration of various branches of infantry was still very complete. Pikemen, sword and shield men, crossbowmen, archers, and even an objective number of heavy infantry.

So if they follow Lu Xun's arrangement to defend against the enemy, they still have a great chance.

But unfortunately, what Soochow lacked was never high-quality soldiers, but a suitable military system.

In fact, even in the battle of public security, the proportion of Danyang elite soldiers in the Wu army is very large. The tribe composed of these Danyang mountain people should have a strong will to fight, and if they are properly trained, they can even become strong soldiers in the world.

But it was the Jiangdong wealthy clan who commanded them. And this group of wealthy people is not only timid and afraid, but also unwilling to see even a little loss in their own tribes.

Because the troops are their personal property, not the troops of the Soochow regime. It is also under such a military system that the Jiangdong strong soldiers of the Sun Jian era have become the current soft-footed shrimp.

When the Han army's iron cavalry rushed in front of them, the vanguard of the Wu army collapsed with almost no surprise. A large number of troops, under the leadership of the officers, fled directly to the sides in formation.

Their rout quickly led the following subordinates to run together. Before Ma Jian could launch the final charge, Dongwu's side had already taken the initiative to make a huge gap in his own military formation.

When Ma Tan saw this scene, he didn't know what to say for a while. But at least he could be glad that he didn't have the slightest hope of dying on them, otherwise he would have become a clown.

"Wu Jun has politely taken the initiative to make way for us, what are you waiting for? Charge with me! Ma Tan drew his saber and yelled at the cavalry behind him.

"The will to charge, there is no advance or retreat!"

"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!"

After Ma Tan took the lead in launching a decisive charge, Long Wuyi, the old subordinate behind him, followed closely from almost reflexively.

Then there were 5,000 Han cavalry, and the whole army formed a goose-shaped formation and brazenly launched a general charge. At a time when the whole army was in turmoil in Eastern Wu, the final harvest was launched.

The two sides collided brazenly, and the Wu army at the front was the first to bear the burden. In front of the cavalry that rushed all the way, they had almost no power to resist, and quickly swept under the hooves of the Han army.

Subsequently, the heavily armed Han cavalry continued to charge under inertia. Any Wu sergeant who stood in front was either hacked or trampled to death by horses, and they didn't even have a chance to surrender!

"Run!"

"I don't want to die yet! I want to go home! ”

"Don't kill me! I give up! ”

The Wu army, which had collapsed in formation, basically had no resistance in the face of the complete cavalry. In a very short period of time, Ma Tan led the cavalry of the Han army to almost pierce the formation of the Wu army.

Since then, the defeat of the Wu army has become a fact, and the difference has become how many prisoners are killed.

"Long Wu Yicong! Follow me to capture the thief's head! Ma Tan saw Lu Xun's handsome banner from afar at this moment, quickly shook off the blood on the head of the spear, and ordered his subordinates.
