Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, just want to die

Chapter 702: Defeating the Enemy with a Strange Sword
"So... Gu Yu took the last of our cavalry out and ran to Ma Su to surrender?"

Lu Kang listened to the report expressionlessly and asked without a trace of emotion.

"That's right, he took all the cavalry away..." Sun Shao's mouth twitched and he answered indifferently.

"I have sent someone to deliver a letter to the Supreme, asking him to detain Gu Yong's entire family. But now... I'm afraid we don't have cavalry to look after us."

There were only a few cavalrymen in the Eastern Wu, and this one unit was bought from Liaodong by Sun Quan at a huge expense. Now, they were all given to Ma Su, and Sun Shao's heart was bleeding just thinking about it.

"If there's no such thing, then there's no such thing. I'm used to it anyway." Lu Kang didn't feel anything about this, and there wasn't much ripple in his heart.

After so many years of fighting, there has never been any cavalry to take care of them. To them, the cavalry has always been equivalent to non-existent, and it has not had much impact on Lu Kang's deployment.

The only thing that worried Lu Kang was that Ma Su might turn against him after getting this group of troops. However, thinking that the Eastern Wu cavalry were mostly locals, they would not turn against him so quickly, Lu Kang was relieved.

Back to the point, since Ma Su himself has appeared near them, it means that the main force of the Han army is not far away. Although it is clear that Ma Su cannot bring too many people, Lu Kang decided to focus on defense first for safety reasons.

However, before Lu Kang could adjust his deployment, a scout rushed in in panic and reported to him.

"General! The Han army is coming!"

"So fast?" Lu Kang was a little surprised and stood up subconsciously and said in surprise.

It has only been a short time since Ma Su started his investigation, and he has already been killed in the face?
But soon, the scout's next words made his face darken.

"Not only that, they are all cavalry! We must prepare for it as soon as possible!"

"All cavalry?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Kang's eyes, but his face soon changed suddenly.

"Oh no! Gu Yu sent a horse to Ma Su!"

"Soldiers! Hold your weapons, let's go give those Dongwu rats a little surprise!"

When Lu Kang received the news, Ma Su had actually already circled to the side of the Wu army. Looking at the Wu army, which had already started to fall into chaos before the battle even started, Ma Su showed a helpless expression.

Who in my family would understand? I had already run all the way to Jiangnan, but ended up riding a horse again.

Because Ma Su's elite soldiers' strategy mentioned that elite soldiers must be proficient in horse riding. Therefore, even the 300 elite soldiers that Ma Su brought with him this time were mostly good at riding horses.

So when Gu Yu brought the Eastern Wu cavalry over, Ma Su immediately drove them all off, and then he and his men mounted their horses.

"General, are you sure you want the soldiers to charge with this stuff?" Liu Yin followed helplessly at this time, pointing at the equipment of the Han soldiers behind him and asked.

The Han soldiers did not carry sharp swords, but instead carried a long and heavy blade. This team was the Mo Dao Army designed by Ma Su specifically for infantry assaults!
The Mo Dao is a weapon that Ma Su has always wanted to replicate, after all, it is a real killer. However, due to the difficulty of manufacturing, and the fact that Master Pu Yuan has passed away, it is extremely difficult for Ma Su to replicate it.

It was not until a year ago that Ma Su reproduced the Mo Dao and immediately put it into use. These 300 people were the first generation of Mo Dao soldiers trained by Ma Su!
"Of course, I'm not asking them to charge with this thing, but to assault on foot!" Ma Su shook his head, denying Liu Yin's words, and then gave the order with a serious expression.

"Everyone dismount! Fight with swords!"

Although there were horses, it was 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 batch of horses to allow the Mo Dao Army to reach the battlefield quickly.

Because they had been trained in advance, the Mo Dao soldiers quickly dismounted and formed an infantry square with Mo Dao in hand. All the soldiers were uniformly dressed in heavy armor, and their eyes revealed a willingness to fight to the death.

"Soldiers, we may die in this battle! Or we may completely defeat the enemy! But no matter what the result is, there will be compensation if we die, and there will be a huge reward if we win!"

"Even if you die on the battlefield, our Prime Minister will be able to send compensation 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! Follow me to kill the enemies!"

Encouraged by Ma Su, all three hundred Modao soldiers launched a charge.

Thanks to the horse given by Gu Yu, Ma Su appeared on the flank of the Wu army like an airborne attack. As the last military force of the Eastern Wu, the Wu army had not reacted until Ma Su swaggered and formed a formation to launch a charge!

By the time the soldiers of Eastern Wu had hastily reorganized their formation, Ma Su was already within reach!
"Quick! Stop them!" a Wu army general shouted in panic.

But no soldier dared to stop such a group of tin cans. Their equipment was too scary. Wherever they went, the soldiers of the Eastern Wu would rather fight against their comrades than face them.

The entire Mo Dao team was like a sharp sword, tearing the Wu army's formation apart very easily. All the Wu soldiers who blocked their way were chopped 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 one weapon and cannot change it before the battle, so the quality must be good.

Ma Su was also in trouble for a long time, and finally he even improved the steelmaking technology himself, which led to progress.

However, these crimes were all meaningful. When he saw the Han army's Modao cutting through iron like mud and advancing forward, Ma Su smiled with satisfaction.

Of course, if someone laughs, someone else must cry. When Lu Kang hurried over from the central army, he saw that the Wu army was stabbed through like tofu.

In fact, this penetration attack was not the most serious blow to the team formation. If the old soldiers in Jingzhou were still in hand, the situation could still be saved.

But it was obvious that Lu Kang was now dealing with a mob of new recruits mixed in with a frightened bird. When Ma Su broke through their formation like a hot knife through butter, all the soldiers collapsed at the first blow.

They were defeated, so easily routed by 300 Mo Dao soldiers. Lu Kang almost went crazy and drew his sword to commit suicide.

At this time, Sun Shao rushed over to stop him.
"Youjie! We still have a chance to save ourselves! Let's gather our defeated troops and retreat to Jianye now. Maybe we can still have a fighting chance..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the clear shout of Ma Su on the battlefield.

"As long as all the people in Yangzhou lay down their weapons immediately and go home, we will forgive them! If anyone holds a weapon and follows the royal army to fight the bandits, he will be rewarded handsomely!"
