Chapter 670 Ruxuwu City is destroyed
To be honest, at Ma Su's current age, it is outrageous for him to go back to the battlefield. If this matter is reported back, Zhuge Liang will most likely come to him with a chicken feather Zen.
But all this is no longer important to Ma Su at this moment. When he picked up this gun and put on this armor, Ma Su's blood surged again.
Even if it is ten years later, your Ma Ye is still your Ma Ye! Since you are the one you can't look at straight in the eye!
So, after Ma Su rushed to the top of the city with a gun, the entire Wu army on the top of the city was in a panic. Thousands of soldiers from the Eastern Wu surrounded him in a semicircle, but looking at Ma Su, no one dared to step forward!
If they were asked to attack the Shu army in the middle of the night, maybe they would have some courage. But when the world-famous Ma Su stood in front of them openly, everyone was scared.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Eastern Wu hesitated and dared not move forward, Ma Su did not act hypocritically. Since you don't dare to come up and fight me, then I will fight you!
With this thought, Ma Su held his gun forward and rushed straight to the Eastern Wu troops with a fierce fighting spirit. This time he wanted to fight the Eastern Wu rats in person, and it would be best if he could kill Sun Quan in battle!
Seeing Ma Su take the initiative to meet him, some soldiers began to panic and tried to retreat. But given the situation on the top of Ruxuwu City, they had no room to retreat.
Under forced circumstances, Ma Su fought with the Eastern Wu troops.
After fighting, 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. But Ma Su was unable to successfully break through the opposite side alone and reproduce the former glory of Guanzhong.
"Kill!!" Ma Su personally waved his gun and stabbed and killed several people in succession, forcing the Eastern Wu troops to retreat a long way.
However, that was all. Ma Su was obviously no longer able to fight a thousand people alone. In a sense, this is also good news for Ma Su.
Just when Ma Su was holding back a large number of Wu troops, the subsequent Han army also began to climb up the city walls on a large scale. Countless Han soldiers took advantage of the gaps in the city walls to climb up the towers and fight with the Wu army.
At the same time, the battering rams under the city also arrived at the battlefield and began to hit the city gates.
For a time, the defense line of Ruxuwu, which had resisted the Northern Army for 20 years, began to crumble.
In this case, the next thing to do is to send reinforcements. As long as the garrison troops are replenished, the two sides will consume a long time on the city walls, and the Han army will have to withdraw.
But such a simple problem troubled Lu Kang and made him 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 the reserve troops into these troops as soon as Ma Su appeared.
But even so, his troops were still defeated by the Han army. With no reserve troops at hand, Lu Kang could only watch the city 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 direct cheating thing, no one can do anything about it!
"Report to the governor, there is news from Xiakou..." At this time, a general hurriedly ran from the back with a message from Xiakou.
"Is General Luo coming back to help? When will the reinforcements arrive? I can't stand it here!" Lu Kang was almost driven crazy by the huge pressure. When he heard the words of the general, it was like grabbing 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 in 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 became extremely difficult. Its total strength was delayed in..."
"Okay! No need to say!" Lu Kang shook his head painfully and interrupted the general's words. After a period of despair, Lu Kang issued the last order with difficulty.
"We have been set up by the Shu army, and the troops are fully replenished. Ruxuwu can no longer be defended, let everyone retreat!"
Originally, Ruxuwu had a garrison of 40,000, and it was just a stalemate with the Han army. Now half of the troops have been transferred away, and Ma Su has personally gone to the battlefield. Lu Kang can no longer think of any possibility of turning defeat into victory.
It is better to lead the troops to retreat as soon as possible and retain some of the living forces to continue to defend Jiangnan. Otherwise, once the entire army is held up by the Shu army, it will be completely unable 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 quite different from that of the previous few days.
Not only did the soldiers' fighting spirit decline, but even the number of people was much smaller.
What's going on? Did Sun Quan see me coming, so he withdrew all his troops early?
Originally, Ma Su's plan for this battle was to personally go up first and then fish a little, to appease the hearts of the generals in the Central Plains. This would allow them to feel more at ease to send the Guandong forces out to fill the line.
But after Ma Su personally went to the battlefield, everything went wrong in an instant. Not only did he forget to fish before the battle, but the Eastern Wu troops were also missing a large part!
Oh my God, you are really against me, right?
However, at present, the resistance will of the Eastern Wu troops is still tenacious. As long as they don't rush too fast, keep their footing, and let the Eastern Wu and the Central Plains troops continue to fight...
"The governor led the rear army to withdraw!"
As soon as Ma Su thought of this, a panicked shout rang out in the Eastern Wu troops' line. In an instant, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Eastern Wu troops who were still fighting hard panicked instantly.
So, 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, it is essentially a port. If all the Eastern Wu troops want to withdraw to Jiangnan, they need to take a boat to the south.
At this moment, the Han army has already attacked the top of the city. If the entire Eastern Wu army retreats, it will inevitably be chased by the Shu army, and the entire army will be at risk of being driven into the Yangtze River.
Therefore, Lu Kang simply sold out the front army, which was mainly composed of private soldiers of wealthy and powerful people.
So when the front army discovered the specific 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 Wharf...
