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

Chapter 669: Ma Su Didn’t Leave?
After many years, Ma Su was ready to personally lead the attack on the city again.

This time it was not only to confuse the generals of the Guandong nobles, but also because... Ma Su was itching to do something.

Since the Battle of Chang'an, Ma Su had not led a team to attack the city in person for a long time. Ma Su had not felt the danger of attacking the city for five years.

So although Ma Su is not young now, he still feels that he is still sharp. Since the generals in Guandong felt that the loss was too great to bear, Ma Su decided to teach them a lesson himself.

At that time, the most senior general in the country would personally charge forward under the hail of bullets, not fearing casualties. He wanted to see who would dare to say that the loss was great under such circumstances.

However, Ma Su didn't know at this moment that Sun Quan, who was fighting with the air, had already withdrawn his troops to the south. Half of the garrison troops in Ruxuwu had been withdrawn the day before he was about to attack the city himself.

If he knew, he would probably only sigh at the great lack of virtue in the way of heaven.

However, Ma Su knew nothing about this at the moment, and full of confidence, he decided to come out again.

After two days of simple preparation, Ma Su was ready. He then mobilized all the Han troops and officially launched the 18th offensive against Ruxuwu.

Under Ma Su's deployment, tens of thousands of Han troops attacked from both wings, while the main force launched a strong attack from the north of Ruxuwu.

As the war drums sounded, 30,000 Han troops, led by officers at all levels, formed a siege formation and pushed siege equipment towards the city walls.

Lu Kang now felt much calmer about the Han army's offensive.

"Soldiers, don't be scared by those northerners outside the city! They are only attacking from above to divert our attention. Their conspiracy has been seen through by the Supreme!"

Lu Kang looked at the Shu army that was surrounding him from all over the mountains, then turned to encourage his subordinates.

"We just need to defend the city and not leave! Even if the Shu army has several times more soldiers, they can only stop here!"

"So for Jiangdong's Jianye and my wife and children, let's fight with all our might!"

Lu Kang's method of boosting morale was quite good. After his speech, the morale of all the soldiers in Jiangdong was boosted.

However, before Lu Kang could continue speaking, Lu Kang's general suddenly spoke cautiously.

"Governor...are you sure that Ma Su has gone to attack Yangzhou and is no longer here?"

"Of course, Your Majesty has seen through his conspiracy!" Lu Kang nodded and answered affirmatively.

"Then, the one outside the city should be the fake one, right?" Lu Kang's subordinate pointed his finger, his voice trembling.

After hearing this, Lu Kang was shocked and turned around suddenly, just in time to see a big white rat showing off its power at the front of the Han army outside the city!
"What? Ma Su didn't leave?"

…………

"I haven't felt the atmosphere of a siege for a long time. I really miss it."

Ma Su wore white armor as usual, and walked in front of the team with a gun in hand. He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the troops following behind him and approaching Ruxuwu.

"General, safety is the most important thing!"

The young general Zhuge Zhan stood in front of Ma Su, looking at the top of the city wall with a vigilant look on his face. Ma Ping followed behind him, also wanting to run in front of Ma Su to block the arrows.

"Go, go, go away, get out of the way and don't hinder me from performing!" Ma Su gently pushed away the two young generals who were in the way and said speechlessly.

"But... you are too conspicuous like this, what if you are injured by the crossbowmen of the Eastern Wu..." Zhuge Zhan looked at the top of the city wall nervously, his palms were soaked with sweat. This was the first time Zhuge Zhan and Ma Ping went to the battlefield, and looking at the battlefield full of corpses, his hands were shaking with nervousness.

Fu Qian, who was standing next to him, was not so nervous because he had participated in wars since he was in Yizhou. He was more curious about Ma Su than panicking about the battlefield.

It is said that when a general leads his troops, he is invincible. They have long wanted to see it.

"Come on, you little guys who just went to the battlefield, just follow me for a while." Ma Su looked at them, shook his head helplessly and said.

"Ruxuwu is not an easy city to attack. I will personally lead the troops to attack the city first. You just need to follow me closely and watch how I attack the city."

"I'll only teach you once, understand?"

The young generals looked at each other, nodded carefully, and bowed to receive the order.

"understand!"

Afterwards, several young generals followed Ma Si obediently. Facing the rain of arrows like locusts, the group followed the army and began to move forward slowly.

But surprisingly, although arrows rained down, not a single arrow fell on Ma Su. Ma Su led the Han army to the city of Ruxuwu as if he was taking a walk.

"The Eastern Wu's aim is really bad..." Zhuge Zhan followed behind and complained subconsciously.

Soon, the ladder slowly leaned against the city wall. Although the Eastern Wu had prepared kerosene early and set a fire under the city, the Han army quickly put out the flames with sand.

By this time, both sides had basically developed their offensive and defensive skills to the extreme. It was difficult for the Eastern Wu to catch the Han army off guard, and both sides had no choice but to fight hard.

"General! The ladder has been put up..." Zhuge Zhan spoke immediately when he saw the ladder was successfully put up.

However, before they finished speaking, they felt a gust of wind blowing in front of them. When they opened their eyes again, Ma Su's figure was already more than ten meters away.

"I am Ma Su, the great general of the Han Dynasty, the prince's tutor, and the Marquis of Wu'an! Who dares to fight me?"

Ma Su, holding a double-headed gun, rushed out with disheveled hair and eyes wide open. Before the vanguard troops could even reach the top to consume the enemy's strength, Ma Su had already climbed up the ladder!

This act made several young generals dumbfounded. Even Fu Qian, who had seen many storms, was intimidated by Ma Su's momentum.

"Ping, your father is so brave? Will you be so brave in the future?" Zhuge Zhan was stunned and for a moment he forgot to be on guard against the rain of arrows.

However, Ma Ping beside him did not say anything, but just looked at Ma Su with a pair of bright eyes. This image of the bravest of the three armies left a very deep impression on the young general.

"This is my father, I should do the same!"

Ma Su had no idea how much of an impression his brilliant performance had left on his descendants. He also had no idea that being the bravest among the three armies and leading the troops by example would become a standard for Han generals in the future.

At this moment, he had been running wildly all the way and rushed straight to the top of Ruxuwu city.

However, to Ma Su's surprise, the resistance encountered during this siege was not great. Not only did the density of arrows decrease a lot, but even the rolling logs and stones could not be compared with the previous few days.

But before he could think clearly, people had already rushed to the top of the city. After seeing the dense crowds of Wu soldiers, Ma Su's blood instantly boiled.

"I am Ma Youchang, a general of the Han Dynasty. Come here if you want to die!"
