Chapter 1736
The two fierce generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were like tigers descending from the mountains; each led a force of elite troops, shuttling through the battlefield. Wherever they went, the enemy was crushed. 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 great army had many troops and generals after all; 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, 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 soared; they roared in response and threw themselves into the fierce battle once again.
Just at this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly thought of a bold strategy. He quickly summoned generals like Huang Gai, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and gave a few low-voiced instructions. Upon hearing this, the generals' faces revealed expressions of surprise, but they soon understood Zhou Yu's intentions and nodded in agreement.
A moment later, a strange troop appeared on the battlefield. They wore the uniforms of Jiangdong soldiers but held white flags and walked toward Cao Cao's great army. Seeing this, Cao Cao's soldiers stopped their attacks one after another, looking at this troop with suspicion.
Only to see this troop walk to the front of Cao Cao's great army and suddenly shout in unison: "Surrender! Surrender!" Having said this, they threw down their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground. Cao Cao's soldiers were at a loss for a moment, looking at Cao Cao one after another.
Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly guarded himself in his heart. He knew well that Zhou Yu was full of tricks, and this act of surrender must have something suspicious about it. However, just as he hesitated, that "surrendering" troop suddenly leaped up from the ground, and sharp daggers appeared in their hands, pouncing fiercely toward Cao Cao's soldiers.
It turned out that this was a feigned surrender plan carefully planned by Zhou Yu. He had a portion of the soldiers pretend to surrender, and while Cao Cao's army relaxed their vigilance, they suddenly launched an attack, disrupting the enemy's formation.
Seeing this, Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to counterattack. However, just in this moment of chaos, Zhou Yu had already led the main force to launch a fierce charge. They surged toward Cao Cao's great army like a flood, unstoppable.
The battlefield was immediately plunged into chaos. Cao Cao's soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden attack and were defeated one after another. Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and other generals led from the front, charging and killing; their heroism inspired every Jiangdong soldier.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao hurriedly commanded the 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 thoroughly.
On the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong navy also engaged in fierce battle. They used the advantage of their warships to launch fierce attacks on Cao Cao's navy. Arrows fell like raindrops, and Cao Cao's navy fell into the water after being hit by arrows one after another.
Zhou Yu stood on the city wall, looking at the situation on the battlefield, feeling secretly fortunate in his heart. His strategy finally worked; Cao Cao's great army had already 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 even more bravely; they knew that this battle concerned Jiangdong's future and their own life and death. They had to exhaust all their strength to win the final victory.
Cao Cao's great army finally collapsed. Under the fierce attack of the Jiangdong soldiers, they retreated step by step and finally could only flee in a sorry state. Countless corpses and blood were left on the battlefield, witnessing this tragic battle. ===== CHAPTER 1737 =====
