Chapter 1063

The two brave generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were like tigers descending from the mountain; they each led a force of elite soldiers, shuttling through the battlefield, and wherever they went, the enemy was defeated. Guan Yu’s Green Dragon Crescent Blade danced like the wind, and every swing was accompanied by the sight of enemies falling; Zhang Fei held his Serpent Spear, roaring as he charged into the fray, his voice like thunder, shaking the enemy army with fear.

However, Cao Cao’s army was vast in numbers and had many generals; although they were blocked at first, they soon adjusted their offensive and launched a fierce attack on Jingzhou city. Arrows flew like locusts, densely covering the entire city wall; the Jiangdong soldiers raised their shields to resist one after another, but many still fell under the arrows.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu felt anxious, but he knew well that he must not retreat at this moment. He shouted loudly, "Soldiers, at this moment of life and death, we must not have the slightest fear! For Jiangdong, for Jingzhou, for our homes, fight to the death!"

His voice pierced through the smoke and reached the ears of every Jiangdong soldier. Upon hearing this, the soldiers’ morale was boosted, and they roared in response, throwing themselves into the fierce battle again.

Just then, Zhou Yu suddenly thought of a bold plan. He quickly summoned generals like Huang Gai, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and whispered a few words. Upon hearing this, the generals’ faces showed surprise, but they soon understood Zhou Yu’s intention and nodded in agreement one after another.

A moment later, a strange team appeared on the battlefield. They wore the uniforms of Jiangdong soldiers but held white flags and walked toward Cao Cao’s army. Seeing this, Cao Cao’s soldiers stopped their attack one after another, looking at this team in confusion.

This team walked in front of Cao Cao’s army and suddenly shouted in unison, "Surrender! Surrender!" After speaking, they threw down their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground. Cao Cao’s soldiers were at a loss for a moment and looked at Cao Cao one after another.

Cao Cao furrowed his brows, secretly on guard in his heart. He knew well that Zhou Yu was full of tricks, and this act of surrender must have something suspicious. However, just as he hesitated, that "surrendering" team suddenly leaped up from the ground, with sharp daggers appearing in their hands, and pounced toward Cao Cao’s soldiers.

It turned out that this was a feigned surrender plan carefully planned by Zhou Yu. He let a portion of the soldiers pretend to surrender, and while Cao Cao’s army relaxed their vigilance, suddenly launched an attack, disrupting the enemy’s formation.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to counterattack. However, in this moment of chaos, Zhou Yu had already led the main force to launch a fierce charge. They surged toward Cao Cao’s army like a flood, unstoppable.

The battlefield immediately fell into chaos. Cao Cao’s soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden attack and fled in defeat one after another. Generals like Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led by example, charging and killing in front; their heroism inspired every Jiangdong soldier.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered his army to retreat. However, at this moment, the Jiangdong soldiers had already killed until their eyes were red; they pursued relentlessly, swearing to defeat Cao Cao completely.

On the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong navy also engaged in a fierce battle. They used the advantage of their warships to launch a fierce attack on Cao Cao’s navy. Arrows fell like raindrops, and Cao Cao’s navy soldiers fell into the water one after another after being hit.

Zhou Yu stood on the city wall, looking at the situation on the battlefield, secretly rejoicing in his heart. His plan had finally worked, and Cao Cao’s army had fallen into a desperate situation. He shouted loudly, "Soldiers, victory is right before our eyes! Continue to charge, do not give Cao Cao any chance to catch his breath!"

Upon hearing this, the Jiangdong soldiers fought forward even more bravely; they knew that this battle concerned the future of Jiangdong and their own survival. They had to exhaust all their strength to win the final victory.

Cao Cao’s army finally collapsed. Under the fierce attack of the Jiangdong soldiers, they retreated steadily and finally could only flee in a sorry state. Countless corpses and blood were left on the battlefield, witnessing this tragic battle.

The moonlight was still like silver, spilling onto every brick and stone of the Jingzhou city walls. However, at this moment, Jingzhou city was no longer the same as before. It had experienced the baptism of war and become more resilient and strong.

Zhou Yu stood on the city wall, looking at the fleeing Cao army in the distance, and a surge of indescribable heroic spirit rose in his heart. He knew that they had won this battle; they had not only defended Jingzhou and Jiangdong but also shown the world the heroism and wisdom of the Jiangdong soldiers.

Generals like Huang Gai, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei walked to Zhou Yu’s side one after another, their faces filled with the joy of victory. Zhou Yu looked at them, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration. He knew that this victory was not just his own credit, but the result of the joint efforts of all the soldiers.

"Soldiers, we won!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly. "However, this is just a beginning. Although Cao Cao has retreated in defeat, his power is still strong. We must continue to work hard, strengthen joint defense, train the army, and prepare for future battles."

Jingzhou city under the moonlight, although having experienced the devastation of war, shone with the light of hope in everyone’s eyes. Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and other generals stood together; their faces held both the joy of victory and deep thought about the future.

"Viceroy, we won a complete victory in this battle, but how should we walk the road ahead?" Huang Gai spoke first; his voice carried a trace of fatigue, but more of firmness.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and said slowly, "Although Cao Cao retreated in defeat this time, he will surely not be reconciled. We must take this opportunity to strengthen the alliance with Liu Bei, while simultaneously continuing to improve our military strength, especially the navy. In the future, the water battle will be the key to our contest with Cao Cao for the world."

Upon hearing this, a flash of fighting spirit crossed Guan Yu’s brows. "The Viceroy’s words are absolutely correct. I, Guan Yu, am willing to lead troops to continue training and improve combat power; when the time is ripe, I will surely compete with Cao Cao again!"

Zhang Fei was not to be outdone and said loudly, "Me too! Zhang Fei is willing to fight side by side with my brother and swear to drive that Cao Cao out of the Central Plains!"

Zhou Yu looked at the two, a flash of appreciation crossing his eyes. "With the two generals here, why would my Jiangdong not flourish? But after this battle, we also need to rest and recuperate, while simultaneously strengthening contact with Liu Bei to ensure the alliance is solid."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu turned to Huang Gai. "Old General, you are experienced; I hope you can be responsible for the contact work with Liu Bei to ensure that information between the two sides is unobstructed."

Huang Gai nodded in agreement. "Viceroy, rest assured; Huang Gai will surely not fail the mission."

Just as everyone was discussing, a scout ran over hurriedly. "Viceroy, there is urgent military intelligence!"
