Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death
Chapter 699 Ma Su enters Yangzhou
Originally, Luo Tong had led the last troops of the Eastern Wu navy to resist the Han navy. But at this critical moment, Chaisang suddenly caught fire.
The fire in Chaisang immediately caused chaos in the Wu army troops who were still resisting. All the troops thought they had been surrounded, and they dropped their weapons and fled.
When he saw the fire in Chaisang Water Stronghold, Luo Tong was almost desperate.
He figured out the specific situation almost immediately. It was obvious that he had photographed the troops blocking the Chibi trail in the south and did not stop the Shu army, and was stabbed all the way from Chibi to me by the Shu army.
Because he had only 7,000 people, he could only send less than 2,000 people to the south to block the trail. After all, from the beginning, his goal was just to defend Chaisang and prevent the Shu army from going down the river and heading straight to Jianye.
But he didn't expect that the troops in the south would be defeated so quickly. In just a few days, the Han army was able to pierce through the entire Yuzhang County and rush to Chaisang.
Is the combat power of the Han army a little too exaggerated?
But soon, Luo Tong understood what was going on. Because he looked from afar and saw that many of the people who set fire to the water fort were not dressed in Han army uniforms, but in private soldiers' uniforms.
Obviously, the wealthy people in Yuzhang County lost confidence in the Dongwu regime. So rather than saying that Luo Xian killed his way here, it is better to say that the wealthy people in Yuzhang supported Luo Xian.
After thinking this through, Luo Tong fell into silence. When he looked around the whole scene and found that the situation was completely irreversible, Luo Tong suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Lost, this time it is completely lost, Dongwu is finished." Luo Tong shook his head and prepared to draw his sword to commit suicide.
As a general, he did not intend to surrender, he still intended to die to show his determination. But when Luo Tong touched his waist, he found that his sword was gone.
"General! Let's surrender, don't commit suicide!" Luo Tong looked back and saw that his personal guards had caught up with him at some point. And his sword had been touched away by his personal guards.
"How many brothers will die for the ruined Sun family? You have held on for so long, and you don't owe the Sun family anything. Surrender!"
The soldiers have witnessed what Sun Quan has done over the years. Luo Tong's guards obviously didn't want to see their general die for such a man, so they took the initiative to surrender their own governor's sword.
Luo Tong immediately became furious, but it was useless. Before he could make any move, the guards rushed up and surrounded their general, determined not to let him commit suicide.
This delay allowed the Han navy to successfully surround him. Luo Tong had no chance to end his life and was eventually captured by the Han army.
At this point, the entire Chaisang defense line completely collapsed, and Xiang Chong was able to continue downstream and headed straight for Danyang!

While achieving great success on the Chaisang front, Ma Su also began to act.
While Zhuge Liang was deploying a large army to force a crossing of the Yangtze River, Ma Su quietly led hundreds of people eastward to the estuary of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
The estuary of the Yangtze River is located in Wu County, which was still an undeveloped area in the Han Dynasty. There are no roads here, and the local development is extremely limited. It is basically impossible for a large army to pass through, so Dongwu basically did not set up defenses here.
"Envoy, we have arrived at the destination, but the Baiyue people's support troops have not appeared." Liu Yin, who had to temporarily serve as the scout captain because of insufficient manpower, came back and bowed to Ma Su.
"These Baiyue people really don't keep their promises. Will they abandon me?" Ma Su narrowed his eyes and said uncertainly.
"It is very likely that they are just a group of uncivilized barbarians after all." Jiang Wei, who served as the vanguard, said.
"Not necessarily. The Baiyue are different from the Shanyue. Many of them are Han people who have become bandits. They cannot be generalized." Deng Ai, who was in charge of logistics, retorted.
"Why don't we wait a little longer?" Zhang Yi, who followed Ma Su as a personal guard, suggested.
"I think it's okay." Shu Ji, who was the rear guard, agreed.
Ma Su: "..."
Why did he feel that these people followed to tell crosstalk?
Ma Su didn't know how these people practiced when they went out, but after they came back, they unanimously decided to follow together. Moreover, these people, who didn't know where they learned the tea art from, bowed down in front of Ma Su, and said they would commit suicide if they disagreed.
It's a pity that this small group of hundreds of people was stuffed with seven generals of four expeditions and four towns and one general.
Fortunately, although these people are the backbone of the Han army, they are not irreplaceable. In addition, Zhuge Liang himself is strong and can withstand it, so it didn't cause chaos in the front-line command.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, set up camp and investigate quickly, and wait for two days." Ma Su kicked all the permanent generals to work at the grassroots level, and sent people to investigate the situation of Baiyue.
It turns out that the Baiyue people did not stand up Ma Su, they just had no concept of time. After Ma Su waited for three days, the fleet of the Baiyue people finally arrived.
It was called a fleet, but in fact, all the boats were as small as they could be. Some of the Baiyue people even came on simple rafts, which was heartbreaking to see.
"Yan Baixiang of Wu County, meet the general of Han!" The leader of the Baiyue was a burly man, who immediately performed a standard Han etiquette after seeing Ma Su.
"Are you the descendant of Yan Baihu, the fierce bandit of Wu County?" Seeing the other party introduce himself, Ma Su raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The general has heard of my father?" Yan Baixiang was shocked and felt a little flattered for a while.
After all, their Yan family is at most a little famous in Yangzhou, and it has been so many years. I didn't expect that the Han general came from the northwest and would specifically inquire about a small figure like him.
Ma Su didn't explain anything about this, but he was relieved.
The Yan family and the Sun family are feuds, and there is no possibility of reconciliation. Therefore, the possibility of Baiyue colluding with Sun Wu is basically non-existent, and he can cross the river with confidence.
"It's come to this, let's cross the river first."
Ma Su gave an order, and the Han army soldiers quickly jumped onto the Baiyue boats. Then, under the order of Yan Baixiang, the Baiyue people began to carefully row the boats across the river.
However, Yan Baixiang also found that the Han army's attire was wrong at this moment. This group of Han soldiers was not dressed in traditional infantry attire, but dressed very strangely.
Except for a small number of troops wearing handheld shields, the rest had no conventional weapons and were all wearing heavy armor. And most of them only carried a short bow and a few arrows behind them, as well as... an extremely sharp special two-handed broadsword!
Yan Baixiang couldn't understand the Han army's attire, but he kept silent.
It's not that his emotional intelligence is high, but... the eyes of these Han soldiers are too scary. Just now, he was just glanced at by an ordinary soldier, and he felt as if he was stared at by a dozen tigers.
Are the northern armies so terrifying...
