Ruxukou

The Battle of Ruxukou (濡須口の戦い) was one of many battles that occurred between the forces of Wu and Wei at Ruxu. The skirmishes took place after Wu suffered a major defeat by the hands of Wei at Hefei.

Dynasty Warriors
The Dynasty Warriors series mostly focuses on the events that transpired at Ruxukou in 217 from Wu's perspective. Up until Dynasty Warriors 8, this battle has only been featured in the expansion titles starting with Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends. Due to it being the highlight of Gan Ning's military career in Wu, it is often relegated as his legend stage as well as for those associated with him in most of the games.

The Xtreme Legends expansion of Dynasty Warriors 7 has players experience this battle from Wei's point of view. Instead of executing a surprise raid, the goal is to escort the allied commander away from the battlefield.

Warriors Orochi
In Warriors Orochi 2, this battle returns as Wu's first stage. After the brief encounter with Lu Bu, the player is tasked with accompanying Yoshitsune Minamoto to the escape route while defeating the remnants of the Orochi forces. Kotarō will also appear twice to harass the player throughout the battle.

Historical Information
The Battle of Ruxukou was at first a disadvantageous battle for Sun Quan due to Cao Cao's larger numbers and the former's retreat from Hefei. Though Cao Cao was on the offensive, he and his army were forced to retreat when Gan Ning led a hundred troops to destroy their main camp at nightfall. The raid ended without any casualties for Gan Ning's troops.
