Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 531 The decisive battle in Dangyang

Finally, Liu Yin stopped at the foot of Dangyang City, with a smile on his lips. Attracting Wu Jun to go all the way north, he finally reached Liu Yin's ideal territory.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the four thousand Han troops under Liu Yin had lost most of their baggage. Among all the soldiers, only three hundred were actually equipped with black armor, and the rest only had a layer of leather armor left.

But Liu Yin was not worried about this. In his opinion, it was enough to deal with Lu Xun like this.

Although the enemy's army is ten times larger than ours, the advantage lies with me!

Then the Han army, under the command of Liu Yin, formed a formation at the foot of Dangyang City with four thousand elite soldiers. The Han soldiers all camped behind the city and quickly completed the deployment of military formations based on the terrain.

Liu Yin is different from Ma Su in that he is generally more sophisticated in fighting. While fighting tough battles with Ma Su for many years, he also read Zhuge Liang's military books in his spare time and took the formation course as an elective.

And this battle was a battle where Liu Yin tested his learning results.

Liu Yin quickly deployed the Xuanjia Army at the front of the military formation, with strong crossbowmen on both sides. The spearmen and swordsmen and shieldmen lined up front and back, making the entire formation look like a hedgehog.

Behind Liu Yin, Wu Jun pursued urgently, and the two sides were not far apart. After Liu Yin completed his deployment, 40,000 Wu troops followed him.

The generals of the Wu army were a little disappointed when they saw the Han army running away. Because a hundred miles across Dangyang was the border between the two sides, Wu Jun obviously did not dare to move forward.

So if Liu Yin continued to run north, Lu Xun would be happy. In this way, he could legitimately suppress the generals, and then quickly retreat to Jiangling to continue being a bastard.

But Liu Yin stopped here, giving the Soochow generals a chance to fight decisively. For a time, all the generals in Soochow were gearing up and preparing to kill Liu Yin and become famous.

In response, Lu Xun just shook his head bitterly, said nothing, and just waved his hands.

Then 40,000 Wu troops quickly entered the battlefield and completed their assembly in the Changbanpo area near Dangyang. Then, under the vanguard of several military generals including Xu Kai, they began to attack the Han army aggressively.

Compared with Liu Yin's elaborate military formation, Wu Jun's military formation seemed much simpler. Three infantry phalanxes advanced slowly from three directions, followed by a crossbow phalanx. While the infantry advanced, bows and arrows were suppressed.

Because Soochow lacked cavalry, there was a lack of cover on both sides. However, because the Wu army had an absolute advantage in numbers, it seemed harmless.

"Fire arrows!!" At the order of General Soochow, dense arrows quickly pressed towards the Han army.

Countless arrows were shot over the sky, and all the Han soldiers fell under their shields. Because of the preparations and the special layout of the military formation, most of Wu Jun's arrows fell on the ground.

When the Wu army's vanguard was about a hundred steps away, the Han army's shield suddenly opened. The crossbowman who had been waiting for a long time quickly unleashed his power, and a row of arrows shot straight out, quickly knocking off the people who were shot by the Wu army's vanguard!

"Kill!" Liu Yin suddenly rode out of the formation on horseback and launched a counterattack when the Wu army was in chaos. In front of Wu Jun who was in chaos, Liu Yin raised his sword and cut Xu Kai off his horse, who was caught off guard, and then withdrew to his own formation intact again!

Liu Yin's arrogant performance made Wu Jun furious. The various Wu generals ignored their anger and attacked the Han army from three directions.

"Raise your shield and load your gun!"

The formation of the Han soldiers quickly changed, and the crossbowmen withdrew into the formation. Under the protection of gunners and shieldmen, he sniped and killed the Wu army from a high position.

The Wu army officially launched a full-scale attack, and countless Soochow soldiers came to kill from multiple directions. Wu Jun, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, pressed forward fiercely, crashing over like a huge wave.

However, the Han army remained unmoved under such a blow. Under Liu Yin's deployment, the four thousand Han army was as stable as Mount Tai, as if the Wu army's offensive did not exist.

The two sides fought fiercely on this small plain. During the fierce moments, Liu Yin had to stand in front of the battle.

However, just when the Wu army's three infantry phalanxes pressed in front of the Han army's formation like pancakes, their flanks were basically completely exposed. And at this time, Liu Yin seized this opportunity.

"Give the signal! Let the cavalry take action!" Seeing Wu Jun's flaw, Liu Yin smiled slightly and quickly issued an order to counterattack.

This time he brought four thousand soldiers to the south, and there was no cavalry in Soochow's sight. But in fact, Liu Yin has been hiding a cavalry of 300 people wandering around Dangyang in Yicheng.

Because there were not many people, and Liu Yin himself went south to attract attention, Soochow did not notice it. And this mistake was fatal. He gave Soochow a surprise attack at this juncture.

Liu Yin gave an order, and three hundred cavalry suddenly rushed out from the east gate of Dangyang. At this moment, the Wu army was trying its best to surround the Han army's formation outside the south gate. The side of its right wing was basically completely exposed, which gave the cavalry an opportunity to make a surprise attack.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

Three hundred light cavalry shouted and fought out, completely catching Wu Jun off guard. Especially this is a Han cavalry that has been upgraded. They will once again refresh Soochow's understanding of cavalry.

Without any surprise, the infantry phalanx composed of thousands of people on the right wing was quickly overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of cavalry. The overwhelmed Wu army immediately implicated the friendly forces nearby, and then the entire military formation was in chaos.

"The enemy's formation is in chaos, kill me!" Liu Yin seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack.

Liu Yin is indeed Ma Su's favorite subordinate, and he understands the essence of Ma Su's counterattack. For a time, the Wu army could no longer resist and began to retreat in chaos. A large number of soldiers died in the chaos as they were trampled on each other.

However, Liu Yin counterattacked not far and immediately ran into the Soochow warrior who was personally pushed up by Lu Xun. Under the personal leadership of Lu Xun, Wu Jun withstood Liu Yin's counterattack.

"Isn't this Sun Boyan? Why are you in the mood to go out for a walk in Jiangling today?" Liu Yin smiled, looked at Lu Xun and mocked.

Facing Liu Yin's ridicule, Lu Xun calmly waved his hand,

"I'm too lazy to argue with the dying people. When my Soochow cavalry comes up, you have to report to Mr. Taishan Mansion!"

"Ha, are you just...cavalry?" Liu Yin frowned suddenly, suddenly realizing that he had overlooked something.

Although there are very few cavalry in Soochow, it does not mean that there are none. What's more, I heard that Sun Quan had contacts with Liaodong before, so he should be able to get horses...

Damn it, I was careless!

At this moment, the earth suddenly trembled. Huge amounts of dust began to rise from the east, and countless figures were looming in the smoke.

"It's broken!" Liu Yin's expression changed, and his heart suddenly sank. He had no idea that Soochow could hide such a skill. It had hidden so many cavalry for so many years.

Now he has to pay for his carelessness!

But soon, Liu Yin noticed that something was wrong with Lu Xun's expression. Obviously Lu Xun was not surprised, but had a bit of confusion on his face.

"Eh? I remember there weren't so many cavalry, right?"
