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

Chapter 654: The Fearless Jiangdong Trilogy

While Ma Su was concentrating on building the city wall, the Eastern Wu side was also looking for an opportunity.

In the past, I'm afraid that the Eastern Wu would really hide in the castle like a turtle. Even if Ma Su rode on their faces and shit, they would just happily say it smells good.

But this time was different from the past, Ma Su built the city to the bank of the Yangtze River. This meant that once Ma Su's city was completed, the battle line would be completely set at their doorstep.

This is the last thing the Jiangdong family can accept. After all, this is a decision that affects their hometown!
If Ma Su had been in power several decades earlier, before Sun Quan and the Jiangdong families had become united, he might not have encountered such strong resistance. But after the Battle of Chibi, the entire Jiangdong region became deeply bound to Sun Quan, and Jiangnan's self-defense was thoroughly aroused.

As I said, the reason why the Yangtze River is sad is because people in the south of the river don’t want people in the north of the river to pass!
Because of this, every time the Northern Army marched south to the Yangtze River, it was basically defeated by the Jiangdong people who shared the same hatred for the enemy. This phenomenon lasted for 400 years during the Five Barbarians and the Northern and Southern Dynasties...

Obviously, even in the face of Ma Su's terrifying combat power, the Wu army, which had always been weak, rarely broke out with a high fighting spirit. When Zhuge Ke recruited the death squad, there was even a situation of mass response!

In a very short time, Zhuge Ke recruited 2,000 Jiangdong death-defying warriors. With this group of soldiers, Zhuge Ke opened the city gate under the cover of night and quietly moved towards Ma Su's camp.

This time, the Eastern Wu was well prepared, and the soldiers and horses were silent and moved as lightly as possible. However, when the Wu army reached 200 steps away from the Han army camp, they were still discovered by the Han army sentries!

After all, Ma Su really looked down on Eastern Wu, but... Liu Yin would not.

"who!"

"It's Wu Bing! Enemy attack!"

"Hurry up and inform the general! The Eastern Wu is coming for a night attack!"

The Han army quickly issued an early warning, and a large number of Han soldiers rushed out as soon as they received the warning.

Seeing that the night attack was about to fail, Zhuge Ke frowned and finally said in a decisive tone.

"Now that things have come to this, let's just attack!"

"All the troops, follow me and charge forward. Before Ma Su has time to organize his troops, we will crush them first!"

Zhuge Ke made a quick decision and led the Eastern Wu death squad to charge directly at the Han army camp.

The total strength of the Han army was 30,000. Although most of them were veterans, they did not react so quickly to the night attack.

After all, they were the only ones who kicked other people's camps...

In short, the Han army's response to the night attack was not quick. It was also because of this that Zhuge Ke's prompt decision allowed the Eastern Wu to break through the Han army's outer defense line in time and rush into the inner camp.

The main thing is to rush into the inner camp, then the next thing will not be so difficult. The soldiers of the Eastern Wu began to scatter, fighting desperately just to throw torches into the tents of the Han army.

For a moment, the Han army's central camp was in chaos, and a melee broke out between the Han army and the desperate Eastern Wu soldiers.

Such a noise naturally woke up Ma Su who had just fallen asleep. The moment he was woken up, Ma Su's eyes turned red.

"Damn it! Why are these Jiangdong guys not sleeping in the middle of the night? They are imitating the Wei people!"

"If you dare to disturb my sleep, I'll break your legs! You're fucking dead!"

Ma Su didn't even bother to put on his clothes, and rushed out with his upper body naked. There was no other way, as Ma Su was very irritable when he woke up, and few people dared to disturb his sleep so far.

The last person who disturbed his sleep was Wang Jing, the governor of Bingzhou. As a result... he was surrounded by Ma Su and starved to death on the Emei Terrace.

But this time, when Ma Su rushed out to engage in the night attack by Wu army, he suddenly came to his senses.

Something was wrong with Wu Jun this time, or rather, the feeling was wrong.

Based on his previous experience in fighting against the Eastern Wu, Ma Su was sure that the Eastern Wu would flee when he rushed out. But this time, not only did the Eastern Wu troops not flee, but they dared to fight back against him.

Fighting back was fine, but these Jiangdong soldiers suddenly changed their behavior and showed no fear of life or death. Faced with Ma Su's powerful fighting ability, the Dongwu death squad didn't care about their lives and were determined to stab him even if they died.

Even when he was stabbed to the ground, he still used the knife to chop his ankles.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Ma Su not only failed to gain the upper hand, but was forced to retreat several steps by this group of lunatics.

Now, Ma Su truly felt how exclusive Jiangdong was. He had fought in many battles for so long, but this was the first time he was suppressed by a group of small soldiers.

Fortunately, Liu Yin had already reacted, and the Han troops on both wings quickly reinforced him. The Han troops that had been attacked at night also recovered and quickly launched a counterattack.

This time, the Eastern Wu troops were mostly composed of Danyang elite soldiers, and they were already the most elite troops of the Eastern Wu. But even so, they were still far behind the Han veterans who followed Ma Su through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The two sides started fighting in the camp, and in less than half an hour, almost all of Zhuge Ke's troops were wiped out. Zhuge Ke had to give up the plan to continue the night attack and left with only a few of his personal guards.

Although this battle brought some difficulties to Ma Su, it was not a big deal. But after the Wu army retreated, Ma Su's face became extremely solemn.

"No wonder Lian Shizai thinks that it is not appropriate to provoke Jiangdong too much at this moment... These Jiangdong nobles are really reckless when it comes to xenophobia!" Ma Su looked at the corpses on the ground and the bloodstains all over the camp, and finally had a clear understanding of Jiangnan's self-defense.

This time, almost all of the two thousand Wu soldiers led by Zhuge Ke were killed in the battle, and no one surrendered.

This would never happen in previous battles against the Eastern Wu. Only when the battlefield approaches Jiangdong's homeland, these Jiangdong soldiers will burst out with such high combat power.

This was just in Jiangbei, and they hadn't even taken Ruxu yet. If they launched a subsequent campaign to cross the river and attack Yangzhou, Ma Su couldn't imagine how fierce their resistance would be...

"General, we lost more than a thousand soldiers in this battle, and killed about two thousand Wu soldiers. The camps and the unfinished city walls suffered a certain degree of damage..." At this time, Liu Yin also found Ma Su and reported the results of the battle to Ma Su with a serious expression.

It can be seen that this loss was also beyond Liu Yin's expectations.

"These Wu soldiers are too weird. I have never seen them so reckless in Jingzhou before..."

"Of course you can't see it. After all, Jingzhou is not their hometown." Ma Su shook his head and began to ponder.

"This is not going to work. If Dongwu launches two more night raids, all our preparations for the past half month will be in vain."

"We have 30,000 people coming from afar, which is already a great pressure on Lianghuai. If we can't build the city as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will have to withdraw to Hefei after the harvest season."
