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

Chapter 722: Final Night Raid

As Sima Shi was completely surrounded by the Han army in Pingxiang, Liaodong had basically been pacified. Apart from the two small strongholds in Changli, only this big city remained unconquered.

This is also normal. After all, although Liaodong is nominally the iron base of the Sima family, in fact, the rule is not solid at all. Moreover, the Han army is powerful, and Sima Shi's rule foundation has long collapsed.

After recovering the Liaodong counties, Ma Su immediately mobilized his entire army to besiege Pingxiang. In just half a month, 20,000 Han troops surrounded Pingxiang.

After besieging Pingxiang, Ma Su officially ordered the entire army to set up camp. What followed was a protracted siege, with the goal of starving the last of the Sima family to death here.

Sima Shi did not make any comment on this, and basically just watched Ma Su make arrangements. During the days when the Han army continued to gather, Sima Shi remained silent on the top of the city, watching this scene without any emotion.

"Your Highness, if you want to outlast the Han army, I'm afraid you have no chance." Yang Hu walked over from behind Sima Shi and said helplessly.

"Since Ma Su dared to besiege the city, he must have cleared the food supply route. We still can't survive if we compete with the entire Shu Han regime."

Although the Liaodong Corridor has a difficult road, it is only the road that causes great losses. Ma Su only brought 20,000 people this time, and even Hebei alone was enough to support them.

According to this rule, Ma Su could stay outside the city for ten years.

"Of course I know..." Sima Shi said expressionlessly, his eyes fixed on Ma Su's flag.

"What do you think? If we climb over the wall and leave the city at night to attack Ma Su's camp, will we have a chance?"

"No...right." Yang Hu was a little embarrassed. He pondered for a while and then spoke carefully.

"I have never encountered the Shu army head-on, so I am not sure how strong they are. But based on past battles, they are also good at night combat."

"If we attack at night, we will probably be wiped out..."

"I don't want to hear these things. I just want to hear an executable plan." Sima Shi turned around indifferently and said without a trace of emotion.

"We have no other choice. We must find a way out."

Seeing Sima Shi's attitude, Yang Hu sighed helplessly. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said,

"If we must attack at night, we do have a chance. One of my generals, Wen Qin, has a very strong son. Judging from his origin, we should have a chance."

"Wen Yang?" Sima Shi raised his eyebrows. He had heard of the person Yang Hu was talking about.

Wen Qin was also an old acquaintance. He was slapped by Ma Su in Nanyang. However, this did not affect his reproductive ability. The Wei general still gave birth to his own son and named him Wen Yang.

Wen Yang was now fifteen years old, but he already had the talent of Dian Wei. The half-grown boy could beat a dozen ordinary soldiers in the barracks like a piece of cake, and even Sima Shi had heard about it.

Seeing Yang Hu mention him, Sima Shi also pondered. After weighing the pros and cons, Sima Shi finally nodded slightly.

"Let him go. When he breaks into the Shu army camp, I will personally lead the troops to support him!"

"Our fate depends on this one move!"

........................

Compared to Sima Shi in the city, Ma Su was not in a hurry. As the Han army completed the encirclement, Ma Su also planned to calm down and fight with the Sima family.

After all, killing people is not as satisfying as starving them to death.
Therefore, Ma Su personally ordered the entire army to stay on the spot and besiege the city. Anyway, with the whole of Hebei providing blood transfusion, how can I not survive your isolated city in Liaodong?
However, when the Han army was besieging the city, Ma Su had health problems.

At first, he just caught a cold by the Mazi River, but the illness never healed. And as time went by, Ma Su felt his health was getting worse.

This was very unnatural, as such a minor illness would not stay with Ma Su for too long. But this time, the cold was very stubborn, and Ma Su's health did not improve for a long time.

Fortunately, Ma Su was accompanied by several of Hua Fei's disciples this time. In addition, Ma Dai was in charge of all military affairs, so Ma Su stayed in the military tent to recuperate.

Wait until I recover from my illness and then I’ll come out and beat you to death!
However, late at night on that day, when the entire Han camp was resting, many figures suddenly appeared on the city wall of Pingxiang.

Under the moonlight in the northeast, these figures climbed down from the top of the city with ropes tied around their bodies. Then they gathered at the foot of the city and came to the Han army camp in the dark.

In fact, the Han army was not so vigilant at this time. After all, they had a great advantage, and with Ma Su in charge, even Ma Dai did not think Sima Shi would dare to attack at night.

However, this time, Sima Shi's night attack was just the right strike.

"Kill!" A young and somewhat unruly general in the lead suddenly yelled, and three hundred elite soldiers from Liaodong immediately broke open the gate of the Han army's camp and rushed into the main camp of the Han army shouting.

The young general in the lead was the first to march straight towards the Han army's flag.

The Han army camp was immediately shocked. The soldiers in the entire Han camp had never thought that the Liaodong army, which was only left with one breath, would dare to attack at night. Coupled with the bravery of the young general Wen Yang, the Han camp seemed a little chaotic for a while.

Wen Yang was even more valiant, personally holding a gun and standing at the front. A large number of Guanzhong veterans could not hold out against this young general, and he was as powerful as Ma Su in the past.

Looking at the appearance of this young general, the first reaction of many veteran soldiers in Guanzhong was.

Isn't this the younger version of the general?
When the Han army was in uproar, the gate of Pingxiang was suddenly opened. Yang Hu and Sima Shi led their entire army to charge out and headed straight for the main camp of the Han army.

"Ma Su's undefeated legend is coming to an end! Generals, follow me and charge!"

At this time, Ma Su, who was already lying in the military tent, suddenly heard a loud commotion from the army outside and immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Master Sima, what's wrong with you? You're already at this level, but you still dare to attack at night?" Ma Su snorted coldly, and then he got out of bed. He picked up the double-headed gun next to him as if it was muscle memory, and rushed out without even putting on armor or clothes.

"Let me see what's going on. Who dares to attack my camp?"

Ma Su came out naked, holding a gun and standing in front of the general's flag, roaring. Such a familiar roar instantly calmed down many panicked Han soldiers.

Yes, the general is still here! There is nothing to be afraid of. After all these years, who can beat the general?

The morale of the entire Han army was stabilized by Ma Su's roar.

At this time, Wen Yang, who was charging back and forth in the Han army camp, suddenly discovered that the Shu army in front of him suddenly stopped panicking...
