Chapter 515: Furious Lu Xun, Striving for Perfection

The remaining 17,000 cavalry in Wu County City, under Sun Quan's order, filed out of the west gate of Wu County and rushed towards the suburban plain as the battlefield.

4,800 cavalry and 10,000 cavalry collided on the plain, and the two sides fought fiercely. Lu Xun had personally fought with Zhang Liao several times, and was defeated by Zhang Liao every time. It was only because of the obstruction of the cavalry that he was safe. Withdrew from the battlefield.

"kill!"

Lu Xun roared, with a smile of victory on his face. His guess was indeed correct. The reason why Zhang Liao and the thousands of cavalry under his command were so powerful was because the strength of the two sides was too disparity. A man and a horse can collide with 30,000 people without falling behind.

Now they only have 10,000 people. After fighting with thousands of people under Zhang Liao's command, they actually achieved greater results than the previous 30,000 people.

Previously, they used 3,000 people to kill 200 people, but after just three rounds of fighting, they used 1,000 people to exchange for 400 people. Compared with the second time before, they were pierced through the battle formation. , it’s simply a huge gap.

"Hahaha, Zhang Liao, today is the day you die. Your invincible secret has been broken by me!"

Lu Xun laughed crazily and waved his flaming swords again, charging into Zhang Liao's cavalry formation. He deliberately avoided the opportunity to fight Zhang Liao and only focused on killing ordinary cavalry.

Although he is not Zhang Liao's opponent, he is a famous general after all. If a famous general lets go and kills in an ordinary cavalry battlefield, the effect will be extremely terrifying.

Lu Xun's swords were covered in blood, and countless heads flew up after being slashed by his swords.

On the other side, Zhang Liao was also on a killing spree, approaching Lu Xun at the same time. Although his killing speed was much faster than Lu Xun's, the cavalry bases of the two sides were different. Zhang Liao had to kill two people to be able to equal Lu Xun's killing one. Moreover, there were more than 10,000 cavalrymen in Wu County behind Lu Xun. After all, Zhang Liao would have to kill six people to equal Lu Xun's one.

So after Lu Xun entered the battlefield, Zhang Liao's target shifted from the cavalry to Lu Xun. Lu Xun had to stop killing, so that he could use these cavalry to effectively suppress Yangzhou and complete the task assigned to him by Gu Rubing.

Lu Xun also understood the reason, so he always avoided fighting and avoided Zhang Liao. Sometimes he even stayed away from the battlefield and stopped killing to avoid Zhang Liao.

This rogue style of play made Zhang Liao quite helpless. Lu Xun had capital to spend, but he didn't. After Lu Xun figured it out, he had already killed more than two hundred and nearly three hundred people in the short period of time he started killing. , which was greater than the cavalry hedging losses. If Zhang Liao had not taken care of Lu Xun, this number would probably be even greater.

From the beginning of the battle to the present, Zhang Liao's cavalry had killed more than 800 people, and now there were only 4,000 left, of which 300 were killed by Lu Xun alone.

Sun Quan's cavalry lost more than 2,000 men. Even without the bonus of Zhang Liao's commander's skill-to-death combat, the combat power of their cavalry was still far greater than that of Sun Quan's cavalry. If the famous general Lu Xun hadn't disrupted the situation, It was only a matter of time before 4,800 of them would eat these 10,000 cavalry.

Just when Zhang Liao was thinking about how to break through the heavy cavalry barriers and fight with Lu Xun, he could only hear rolling thunder in the distance.

Anyone who has experienced the battlefield knows that this kind of thunder on a sunny day is the sound of large-scale cavalry charging together. But now Zhang Liao and the others are deep in the hinterland of Yangzhou, and the sound of horse hooves is coming from further east. This sound This means that they are destined not to come to support Zhang Liao. The only possibility is that the remaining cavalry in Wu County City also came.

Although he didn't know how many came, he knew just by the sound of horse hooves that was more deafening than thunder that there were definitely a lot of cavalry coming. Zhang Liao looked at Lu Xun in the distance with a face like a dead pig, and raised a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. You, Lu Xun, had a lot of calculations, but you didn't expect that one of your own would disrupt the situation.

Lu Xun suddenly became furious when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.

When the leading lieutenant arrived at the battlefield, what greeted him was not Lu Xun's praise, let alone praise. Instead, he was greeted by two big ear-scrapers, who slapped him in the face.

"Who asked you to bring troops? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to enter the battlefield except under my orders? Why did you..."

Halfway through his words, Lu Xun suddenly seemed to remember something and asked tentatively.

"Did the young master ask you to come?"

The leading lieutenant nodded aggrievedly. He was the most unlucky. First, he was kicked to the ground by Sun Quan and asked him to lead the troops out of the city quickly, otherwise he would be beheaded in public. After arriving at the battlefield, Lu Xun couldn't help but kill him. He was slapped twice and suspected of disobeying military orders.

One is his general and the other is the young master. In this case, he has no right to choose. He can only obey whoever gives the order.

As 17,000 cavalry poured into the battlefield, Zhang Liao's troops, who were already showing signs of fatigue, suddenly increased their combat power. The original loss ratio of one to two or one to three immediately increased to one to ten. On the left and right, the cavalrymen seemed to be going crazy. They stabbed with their spears wildly, and they were all incredibly brave.

This scene further confirmed Lu Xun's suspicion. The cavalry had already joined the battlefield. It was too late to say anything. Lu Xun did not argue with the deputy general anymore, but helped him up from the ground, and then glanced at him briefly. battlefield.

After his rough estimate, there should be about 4,000 enemy troops on the battlefield at this moment, and they, together with the newly arrived 17,000 cavalry, should have about 25,000 cavalry.

Soon, Lu Xun had a calculation in his mind. He used both hands to stand on the horse and shouted loudly to the battlefield.

"The cavalry who were originally responsible for fighting the enemy, after this charge, withdraw from the battlefield and return to the city to recuperate!"

Although this roar was also heard by Zhang Liao and his cavalry, it had no effect on him. If someone withdrew, someone would immediately fill in. If he wanted to take this opportunity to break through their defense line, it would be too whimsical.

As the surviving cavalrymen from the first 10,000 withdrew, a total of more than 7,300 people withdrew. Before the follow-up troops joined the battlefield, their losses were about 2,000 people. After the follow-up troops joined the battlefield, the mysterious effect of the enemy's outnumbered was triggered. In just a hundred breaths, they lost 700 people. This terrifying speed of casualties amazed Lu Xun.

He didn't listen and rushed into the battlefield. Originally, he thought that the improvement of these cavalrymen should not be very big, but after he really fought with these cavalrymen, he finally realized the most obvious gap.

He used to kill one cavalryman with one sword, but now if he wants to kill another cavalryman, he actually needs to use two or even three swords, and he still uses all his strength and swordsmanship.

Lu Xun couldn't help but take a deep breath. This improvement was really terrifying. The combat power could actually show a trend of doubling. Not only that, not only did their combat power improve, but even the deployment of troops between each other became more rigorous, which could be described as airtight.

Of course, Lu Xun had experienced these things. At the beginning, 5,000 to 30,000, he exchanged 200 people for 3,000 of them, which shocked Lu Xun for a long time. That's why he kept hiding from Zhang Liao and didn't dare to fight head-on. That's why Sun Quan blamed him and then took over the military power.

After the 7,300 dead withdrew from the battlefield and returned to Wu County, there were only more than 16,000 cavalry on the battlefield, and the offensive of the cavalry under Zhang Liao did not weaken at all. Those cavalry were still brave. 4,000 people chased more than 16,000 people, almost a one-to-four difference in strength, but they were able to fight back and forth.

Blood had begun to cling to Zhang Liao's Huanglong hook sickle. Huanglong hook sickle is a weapon that has never been stained with blood, but Zhang Liao killed too many people, so that the old blood on the Huanglong hook sickle has not been shaken off, and there is already new blood on it.

He was trying to get closer to Lu Xun. When Lu Xun withdrew the more than 7,000 people, Zhang Liao had already written Lu Xun's name on the must-kill list.

This unknown Confucian general was able to guess the law of winning with fewer troops in such a short time, and he was brave enough to use thousands of cavalry to verify his idea. This is the most terrifying thing. No matter how absurd a thing is, as long as he is sure of it, he will put it into practice.

Such a person must be a big enemy in the future, so Zhang Liao only has Lu Xun in his eyes at this moment, so he no longer actively kills other people, but rushes straight to where Lu Xun is.

Lu Xun did not notice Zhang Liao's change, and still used the old method to hide.

Every time Zhang Liao took a step closer, he took a step back, trying to keep a safe enough distance from Zhang Liao.

But Zhang Liao kept shortening the distance between the two. When the distance between the two was only twenty steps, Zhang Liao no longer concealed his killing intention, and rushed out suddenly, the yellow dragon hook sickle swept past, and a huge knife aura rolled forward. The Jiangdong cavalry blocking in front of him were all destroyed under this blow, and the people and horses in the front were all broken, even the cavalry in front of Lu Xun were split in two.

Lu Xun was shocked. Is this the fighting power of a famous general? Both of them are famous generals, but he definitely can't launch such an attack. The sword energy is so strong that Lu Xun feels that he has no way to avoid it and can only take the sword head-on.

After the sword energy, hundreds of cavalry rushed in again to surround and kill Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's eyes were stern. These Jiangdong cavalry were like ants, which was really annoying.

"Come on!"

Lu Xun roared, to boost his morale, and swung his two swords at the same time. The flames on the blades of the two swords shone horizontally, slashing at the rolling sword energy.

The collision between the two sides did not cause much momentum. After a ding, the sword energy collapsed, and Lu Xun's horse had already fallen to the ground. Lu Xun knelt on one knee, leaning on the ground with a single sword, and raised one arm to block his face, so that others would not see his decline.

Lu Xun's eyes were filled with shock. He suddenly realized that although he had been promoted to a famous general, the gap between him and Zhang Liao was like a natural chasm and a chasm.

Zhang Liao's attack alone forced him to deal with it with all his strength, and even his mount was submerged by the sword.

Lu Xun had only one thought in his mind at this moment, Zhang Liao was invincible!

"Damn, isn't it enough? Four times the number of people still gives you this kind of combat power?"

Lu Xun whispered. He originally wanted to withdraw the cavalry to test how many people Zhang Liao would have to have such a strange combat power, but seeing that the losses were getting bigger and bigger, he was also targeted by Zhang Liao, and there was no time to try again.

"Come on, six thousand captains!"

Lu Xun shouted, and several thousand captains around him immediately moved towards Lu Xun.

Soon, six centurions stood in front of Lu Xun, and Lu Xun's face was livid.

"You six, withdraw all your men from the battlefield, now!"

Those who can be centurions are basically people with some eyes and some minds. Seeing Lu Xun's appearance, he might chop people with a knife in the next second. How can they care about other things? They immediately clasped their fists and left.

Soon, under the guidance of the six of them, more than 5,000 cavalry retreated from the battlefield in a mighty manner. During this retreat and advance, they were pushed forward by the cavalry under Zhang Liao.

With the bonus of Zhang Liao's command skills, their combat power is now very strong. Almost one person can be killed in one encounter. After several charges, they only lost 300 people, but Yang Zhou lost more than 2,000 people.

There are only more than 9,000 Jiangdong cavalry left on the battlefield, but the decline in combat power that Lu Xun expected did not come. Instead, the opponent became more ferocious because of the small number of people, which made Lu Xun a little confused.

Not far behind Lu Xun, Zhang Liao was still following closely. He didn't dare to stay too long and give Zhang Liao a chance to catch up with him.

"It may be that the time has not come yet, or they have not completely withdrawn from the battlefield, so the combat power has not decreased."

Lu Xun comforted himself while running for his life.

But after another half a quarter of an hour, the opponent's combat power still showed no trend of decline. This could not be explained, and the number of people who helped him stop Zhang Liao was getting smaller and smaller, and Zhang Liao was getting closer and closer to him.

Lu Xun gritted his teeth and had no choice.

"Retreat!"

With Lu Xun's roar, those cavalrymen who were scared by the killing but did not dare to flee began to turn around and run wildly, how could they care about other things.

The defeat was like a mountain collapsing.

Zhang Liao did not order a pursuit. This place was too close to the opponent's city. Once it approached the city and entered the range of the opponent's archers, the casualties would be unnecessary losses.

Of the 5,000 cavalrymen brought, only about 3,500 are left now, and they cannot afford any useless consumption. If they want to use these 3,500 people to involve tens of thousands of people, they must strive for excellence.

As for Lu Xun, he has been on the list of must-kills. How could he know that once Zhang Liao's commander skill is triggered, it will not stop until the end of this battle, unless the number of Zhang Liao's side increases.
