After Luo Jiang learned that the troops belonged to the Kuomintang Army, he rode away. Ma Yunshan felt a bit depressed; he knew quite well the unsavory reputation of the Kuomintang Army and could tell from Luo Jiang's reaction that he held no affection for them. Unable to change the nature of the Kuomintang, he could only watch Luo Jiang leave.
This recent cavalry-versus-cavalry clash was another major victory for the Dragon Kingdom. A Japanese Imperial Cavalry regiment had been wiped out by the Dragon Kingdom's cavalry, an outcome that shocked the Japanese high command. Luo Jiang's name appeared once more among the senior ranks of the Kuomintang Army, who hoped to locate him, though no one knew where he had gone.
Riding the warhorse, Luo Jiang initially found it fun, but when he tried to make it go faster, he didn't know how to control it. Although he had ridden in horse-drawn carriages and heard the drivers shouting, a warhorse was different from a draft horse. He couldn't tell if the horse didn't understand him or simply didn't recognize him as its master. The horse would also buck occasionally, trying to throw him off.
