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

Chapter 670: Ruxuwu City Falls

To be honest, considering Ma Su's current age, it is outrageous for him to go back to the battlefield. If this matter were to be reported back, Zhuge Liang would most likely come to him to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, holding up the chicken feather Zen.

But these are no longer important to Ma Su at this moment. When he picked up the gun and put on the armor, Ma Su's blood boiled again.

Even if ten years pass, your Ma Ye will still be your Ma Ye! Since you cannot even look at him!
So, after Ma Su rushed to the top of the city wall with his gun, the Wu army on the top of the city wall immediately panicked. Thousands of Wu soldiers surrounded him in a semicircle, but no one dared to step forward when they saw Ma Su!
If they were asked to attack the Shu army in the dead of night, they might have had some courage. But when the world-famous Ma Su stood in front of them, they all became cowardly.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Eastern Wu were hesitant and did not dare to move forward, Ma Su did not act pretentiously. Since you dare not come up to fight me, then I will fight you!
With this thought in mind, Ma Su held his gun and rushed forward, charging straight at the Eastern Wu troops with a fierce fighting spirit. This time he wanted to personally fight the Eastern Wu rats, and it would be best if he could kill Sun Quan in battle!

Seeing Ma Su approaching, some soldiers began to panic and tried to retreat. However, given the situation on the top of Ruxuwu City, they had no room to retreat.

Under pressure, Ma Su engaged in battle with the Eastern Wu troops.

After the fight, Ma Su could probably feel that his strength had decreased a lot.

Although the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers in front of him was not high and their combat power was relatively weak, Ma Su was unable to successfully break through the enemy alone and reproduce the former glory of Guanzhong.

"Kill!" Ma Su personally wielded his spear and stabbed several people to death in succession, forcing the Eastern Wu troops to retreat a long way.

However, that was all. Ma Su was clearly no longer able to defeat a thousand enemies alone. In a sense, this was also good news for Ma Su.

While Ma Su was holding back a large number of Wu troops, the following Han troops also began to climb up the city walls in large numbers. Countless Han soldiers took advantage of the gaps in the city walls to climb up the towers and fight with the Wu troops.

At the same time, the battering rams under the city also arrived at the battlefield and began to forcefully ram the city gates.

The defense line of Ruxu Fort, which had resisted the Northern Army for twenty years, began to crumble.

In this situation, the next thing to do is to send in reinforcements. As long as the defenders are replenished, the two sides will spend a long time on the city wall, and the Han army will have to withdraw.

But such a simple question troubled Lu Kang so much that he almost went crazy.

The specific reason is very simple, he has no reinforcements!

Before Sun Quan left, the total force of Ruxuwu was only 40,000. Because Sun Quan himself was fighting wits and courage with the air, 20,000 Wu troops followed Sun Quan back to Jianye to guard against the small group of Western Shu troops that were destined not to appear.

Because of this, Lu Kang only had 20,000 troops left, and he had already put all his reserve troops into the army as soon as Ma Su appeared.

But even so, his troops were still beaten back by the Han army. With no reserve troops at hand, Lu Kang could only watch the city walls fall bit by bit!
At this moment, Lu Kang suddenly understood how his father died at the hands of Ma Su. Facing such an unreasonable and cheating guy, no one can do anything!

"Report to the Governor, there is news from Xiakou..." At this time, a general came hurriedly from the rear, bringing news from Xiakou.

"General Luo is coming back to help? When will the reinforcements arrive? I can't stand it anymore!" Lu Kang was almost driven crazy by the huge pressure. When he heard the words of his general, it was like he had grabbed the last straw. He grabbed the general next to him and asked hopefully.

"General... General Luo said that he was held up by the Shu army at Xiakou and had no ability to return to help..." The general smiled bitterly and helplessly announced a terrible fact to Lu Kang. "He said that the Shu army recently replaced the naval commander, and the tactics have become extremely difficult. Its total strength has been delayed..."

"Okay! No need to say more!" Lu Kang shook his head painfully and interrupted his general. After a moment of despair, Lu Kang issued the last order with difficulty.

"We have been tricked by the Shu army, and our forces are fully replenished. Ruxuwu can no longer be defended, so let everyone retreat!"

Originally, Ruxuwu had a garrison of 40,000 men, and they were only able to fight a stalemate with the Han army. Now that half of the troops had been transferred away, and Ma Su had personally taken action, Lu Kang could no longer imagine any chance of turning defeat into victory.

It is better to lead the troops to retreat as soon as possible and retain some manpower to continue defending Jiangnan. Otherwise, once the entire army is blocked by the Shu army, it will be impossible to leave!

When Lu Kang ordered the entire army to retreat, Ma Su also noticed something was wrong. He found that the resistance of the Eastern Wu troops today was much weaker than that of the previous few days.

Not only did the soldiers' fighting spirit decline, but their number also decreased a lot.

What's going on? Did Sun Quan see me coming and withdraw all his troops early?
Originally, Ma Su's plan for this battle was to personally go up first and then try to fish, so as to appease the hearts of the generals in the Central Plains. This would allow them to feel more at ease to send the forces from Guandong to fill the line.

But when Ma Su personally went into battle, everything went wrong. Not only did he forget to slack off before the battle, but the Eastern Wu army was also missing a large number of troops!

Oh my God, you are really against me, right?

However, at present, the resistance of the Eastern Wu army is still strong. As long as I don't rush too fast, keep my footing, and let the Eastern Wu and the Central Plains army continue to fight...

"The governor led the rear army to withdraw!"

Just as Ma Su thought of this, a panicked shout rang out from the Eastern Wu army. In an instant, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Eastern Wu army, which was still fighting hard, panicked instantly.

Therefore, before Ma Su could react, the Eastern Wu troops were already in chaos. In a very short time, the morale of the Eastern Wu soldiers who were still resisting collapsed and they trampled on each other and left.

Ma Su: "???"

Although Ruxuwu is a city, its essence is a ship port. If all the troops of the Eastern Wu want to withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River, they need to take a ship to the south.

At this moment, the Han army had already attacked the city walls. If the entire Wu army retreated, it would inevitably be chased by the Shu army, and the entire army would be in danger of being driven into the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Lu Kang simply sold out the vanguard army, which was mainly composed of private soldiers of the wealthy and powerful.

So when the front army discovered the situation and the whole army was in a panic, Lu Kang had already boarded the ship with the rear army. While evacuating, Lu Kang also set fire to all the remaining ships in Ruxu Dock...
