Chapter 723 The Final Hour
"What happened? Wasn't it just an old guy yelling? Why did these Shu soldiers suddenly become crazy?"
Wen Yang had no idea what was happening. He only saw an old man rushing out and yelling. As a result, the Han army who was about to blow up the camp suddenly calmed down, and then everything returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
Not only that, the eyes of the Shu soldiers who were originally afraid of his force suddenly became clear. When he went to see it again, they all looked at him with disdain.
What's happening here? Is that old man's roar so useful?
Wen Yang was a little unbelievable, but the truth was so outrageous. And soon, he found that he couldn't rush anymore!
In the final analysis, Wenyang was hit by a suddenness. And because his bravery is somewhat similar to Ma Su, these veterans subconsciously regarded him as a younger version of Ma Su.
But when Ma Su rushed out, all the Han troops reacted. Go to the tmd young version of Ma Su, the general is unparalleled in the world, how can anyone compare to him.
This is just a brave young general, there is nothing to be afraid of.
To save trouble this time, Ma Su brought out all the veterans from Guanzhong. Their military discipline and fighting spirit are far beyond what the Kwantung Soldiers can match, and the fortress they formed is not that easy to break through.
Then the Han army gathered again and soon surrounded Wen Yang. When the Han army was no longer panicking, Wen Yang's attack seemed so weak.
Wen Yang was so blocked that he couldn't move for a whole three tones. Wen Yang was almost forced into a desperate situation before Ma Su even joined the battle.
As for Ma Di himself... because these Guanzhong veterans are blocking the road too tightly. Ma Su squeezed in the cold wind for a long time without seeing where the Liaodong Army was, and was speechless for a while.
When did my majestic general become unable to squeeze into the battlefield?
Is this reasonable?
Moreover, why does this have the same sense of déjà vu as when he was riding a horse at a street pavilion and being left behind by the infantry?
There was no other way, Ma Su was quickly caught up by the soldiers and put on his coat. Under the cold wind, Ma Di squinted at the situation at the scene, and suddenly said,
"There's a big chaos outside the camp. It should be the Sima Division's supporting troops, right? How long have they been attacking the camp?"
"General, the three drums have been activated." The soldier replied immediately.
"This group of Liaodong troops rushed to kill Santonggu, and Sima Division couldn't even rush in. Their power has been surrendered!" Ma Di immediately made a judgment and gave the order without saying a word.
"And based on this scale, Sima Division definitely leads a lot of troops. Now that the whole army is attacking, since he has come out, Sima Division must not be allowed to run away again!"
They are all veterans, and their ears and eyes are like microscopes. Ma Su could basically judge the size of the Liaodong Army with just one ear.
At least five thousand people are storming the camp, and a force of this size must go through the gate.
Therefore, Ma Su made a decisive decision and pursued the whole army. He must defeat the enemy with one blow!
The Han army's movements were so fast that it completely exceeded the Liaodong army's imagination. When Sima Division was unable to attack for a long time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the darkness!
When Master Sima heard this voice, the hair on his body stood up!
What he was most worried about had happened. The Han army's cavalry had already reacted! And in this wild place, he is simply not enough people to fill the teeth of the Han cavalry!
At this moment, Yang Hu suddenly rushed out and pushed Sima Shi onto his horse.
"Senior brother, I will repay the kindness of the captain and the brotherhood between you and me today! Get on your horse and return to the city, I will delay time for you!"
Saying that, Yang Hu resolutely pulled out his sword and tried to lead others to make the final resistance.
Yang Hu told the truth that he had a way out, and Ma Di did not refuse to let him surrender. It's just that this sworn brother of Master Sima, a good young man promoted by Sima Yi, finally chose to live and die with the Sima family.
However, Master Sima looked back at Ping Xiang, then at Yang Hu, and was silent for a while. Then he gently jumped off the horse, drew his sword and stood with Yang Hu.
"There is no chance. There are only two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city. What's the point of continuing to struggle? It's better to die here in the end, which can be regarded as a decent position."
Master Sima is not someone who cannot see the situation clearly. It was precisely because he knew the situation that he chose to give it a go in the end.
There is no way, just slap a bigger place, how far can you go if you continue to struggle. Their only chance is probably to raid the Ma Su camp to win, and then break through to Baekje.
What now? Not to mention breaking out of the siege, it would be a struggle to return to the city. Moreover, the main force has been brought out, so how can there be any hope?
In the end, Sima Shi, who had resisted tenaciously for twenty years, chose to accept his fate. The last head of the Sima family gave up the idea of retreat.
…………
This night seemed extremely long, and the fighting inside and outside the Han army camp continued. Perhaps it was Division Sima's last desperate effort, but this group of Liaodong troops seemed particularly tenacious.
Of course, this was just the last stubbornness of the Liaodong Army. When dawn broke, the fighting outside came to an abrupt end.
Ma Di, who was about to fall asleep while standing under the handsome flag, finally got the results of the battlefield.
"General, fortunately you have fulfilled your orders. Master Sima and his subordinate Yang Hu have all been killed!" Ma Dai came to Ma Su with his two heads in hand and said with a cupped hand.
"The bandit army has basically been wiped out. There are about five thousand people. There are still at most a thousand people in Pingxiang City. They are finished!"
"As for the group that came for the night attack, they were basically wiped out. The leading young general has also been captured, and everything is over."
"Tsk... I chased him from Xiliang to Liaodong just to see this head." Ma Su looked at the two heads presented by Ma Dai and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
Sima Shi was also a strange man. He had been fighting with the Han army since Liangzhou. As a result, he chased him all the way to Liaodong, and was not officially executed until now. His life was really tough.
"Forget it, since Sima Shi is dead, let's end the battle as soon as possible." Ma Su took a long breath and said slowly.
"Prepare to build siege equipment and end the war as soon as possible. Let's go back."
"Yes!"
After giving all these instructions, Ma Su dragged his heavy body back to the military tent. Ma Su stayed in the cold wind for another night after being tormented by Sima Shi. He planned to go back and take a nap.
However, after Ma Su returned to the bed and lay down, he felt more and more tired. It seemed that he caught a cold in the cold wind, but Ma Su didn't think it was a big deal.
As Ma Su closed his eyes to rest, he seemed to be in a state of confusion. When he was half asleep, he suddenly heard a low sigh beside his ear.
"It's time to leave, Master Ma!"
Just these soft words made Ma Su's heart suddenly jump.
