My father-in-law Guan Yu, I persuaded Liu Bei to launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang at the beginn

Chapter 169: Kill all the remnants of Jiangdong and capture Bi Yan'er alive! Sun Quan cried: Liu Bei, can't you let me go?

South of Wu County, Shuiying.

"My lord, Liu Bei's vanguard of over 20,000 men has now arrived north of Wu County and has begun setting up camp."

"Liu Bei's main force is still in Yuting. It is estimated that it will take about one or two days to reach Wu County."

In the central military tent, Jia Hua read out the latest military information.

Sun Quan's eyes lit up with excitement as he looked at Zhang Zhao:

"Zi Bu, the big-eared thief has finally arrived, but the vanguard has arrived first."

"Should I dig up the Quze Dike right away, or wait until the Big Eared Bandit's follow-up troops arrive?"

After Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment, he said firmly:
"Xiao He is incredibly resourceful. Zhao is worried that if we delay for another day or two, he might become wary and our plan will be exposed."

"Zhao thinks we shouldn't be greedy, otherwise the night will be long and full of dreams. Let's take action tonight!"

Sun Quan's eyes lit up with murderous intent. He leaped up and shouted:
"Chen Wu, Song Qian, listen to my orders!"

"The general is here!"

The two trusted generals stood up with great emotion.

Sun Quan took a deep breath and said sternly:

"I order you to lead a thousand naval soldiers and sail west along the Song River to Juqu Lake tonight. Dig up the lake embankment and flood Liu's army!"

"Before I evacuate Jiangdong, I will severely inflict damage on the Big Eared Bandit and avenge my previous humiliation!"

...

It was late at night, and the embankment on the east bank of Juquze was under construction.

Under the moonlight, dozens of boats, carrying more than a thousand soldiers, were stealthily approaching the dam.

Chen Wu and Song Qian stood at the bow of the boat, holding their swords, staring closely at the gradually approaching dam.

The eyes of both men were burning with rage for revenge.

Once upon a time, their lord dominated Jiangdong and was so powerful.

They followed the Sun brothers, conquered the east and the west, conquered Jiangdong, and defeated Jiangxia. They were so powerful and lived a happy life.

Who would have thought that Liu Bei's rise to power would lead to their repeated defeats and the loss of cities and territories.

How many former comrades-in-arms have died at the hands of Liu Bei, and the vast Jiangdong region has also been plundered by Liu Bei.

Their lord Sun Quan was forced by Liu Bei into a desperate situation where he had to take him and flee Jiangdong and go north to seek refuge with Cao Cao in order to survive.

Having witnessed with their own eyes the Sun family's foundation gradually falling apart, how could they not be filled with sorrow and resentment?

Today, before leaving, they finally had the chance to deal a severe blow to Liu Bei and vent a little of their anger. How could they not be excited?

The two of them became more and more anxious and immediately urged the boat to speed up.

A moment later, the fleet rushed onto the lake embankment. At the urging of the two generals, more than a thousand soldiers rushed to carry various tools, jumped off the boats and rushed onto the embankment.

"Brothers, the time has come for us to take revenge! Get moving! Dig up the lake embankment!"

Chen Wu looked excited and shouted at the soldiers.

A thousand Jiangdong soldiers rolled up their sleeves and began digging frantically and diligently.

Song Qian climbed up the lake embankment and looked towards Wu County not far away. The brightly lit Liu army camp was faintly visible.

Song Qian's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and he sneered:
"Big Ear Thief, you've defeated us so many times, but you never expected that we would drown you before we left—"

Whoosh!
A sound of breaking air suddenly rang out, and a cold light shot out from the bottom of the embankment.

"puff!"

Before Song Qian could finish his sarcastic remarks, he was hit in the face by an arrow.

His eyes suddenly opened wide, and his terrified look was as if he had seen the most bizarre scene in his life.

Then he staggered back half a step, fell to the ground with his head raised, and rolled all the way down the embankment.

"Brother Song, why are you so careless?"

Chen Wu thought that it was too dark and Song Qian's feet slipped, and he accidentally slid down the embankment. He smiled and walked forward to help him down.

Song Qian lay on the ground, motionless.

When Chen Wu saw that there was a sharp arrow stuck in Song Qian's forehead, his face turned pale with horror and he froze in place.

For a moment, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do.

The Jiangdong soldiers who were digging the dike on both sides were also shocked and stunned. They stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked blankly at Song Qian who had been shot to death.

The embankment under my feet began to tremble, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves came from the outer slope of the embankment.

Chen Wu suddenly realized something and looked up in a hurry.

A military commander, wearing a white horse and silver robe and holding a large bow, stood on the embankment like a god descending from heaven.

"Zhao...Zhao Yun?"

Chen Wu recognized the general and let out a shuddering cry.

Zhao Yun hung up his bow and arrow, picked up the Longdan spear, and attacked behind him.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of White Horse Volunteers, like a flood flowing backwards, flooded the embankment, and enveloped them in dark shadows.

"Just as Military Advisor Bowen predicted, that Biyaner really wants to dig up the Juqu Lake and flood our army!"

Looking down at the Jiangdong soldiers holding tools, Zhao Yun sighed.

This was exactly what Xiao He planned.

The 20,000 vanguard troops camped outside Wu County were just bait.

Xiao He calculated that Sun Quan would take action tonight and send troops to sneak to the west of Wu County by water to secretly dig up the Juquze dam.

Zhao Yun followed his secret plan and led a thousand white horse volunteers in advance. Under the cover of night, they ambushed on the embankment line and kept a close eye on the movements on the lake.

As soon as the Jiangdong fleet appeared, Zhao Yun had already detected it, so he calmly let the enemy army rush onto the dike.

Just at this moment, the cavalry suddenly appeared and killed them by surprise!
"Oh no, it's an ambush!"

"The Big Eared Thief had anticipated our attempt to dig up the lake embankment. Zhang Zibu's plan has been discovered!"

Chen Wu suddenly woke up and shouted anxiously:
"Quick, everyone, retreat back to the ship, retreat back to Juquze——"

Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers on the embankment were suddenly awakened, hurriedly dropped their tools, turned around and rushed towards the boats.

It was too late. Zhao Yun pointed his Dragon Gallbladder Spear and shouted:
"White Horse Volunteers, follow me and kill all the remnants of Jiangdong!"

A thousand white horse volunteers rushed in along the embankment like a torrent.

How could two legs possibly outrun four legs? The Baima Yicong chased after them in an instant and crushed them in a crushing mass.

A one-sided crushing attack began.

Screams, crashes, wails...all echoed on the shore in an instant.

More than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers were knocked down and chopped down in the blink of an eye, and were killed in pieces, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Zhao Yun was like a god descending from heaven, swooping down with his Dragon Gallbladder Spear swinging wildly, chopping down the enemy soldiers in droves.

The White Horse Volunteers came too fast, and most of the Jiangdong soldiers were killed before they could escape to the boats.

"Quick, retreat to the boat--"

Chen Wu ran wildly and screamed loudly.

His shout successfully attracted Zhao Yun's attention.

Although Zhao Yun didn't recognize who he was, he knew he must be a general.

How can I not kill him!

"Remnants of Jiangdong, where are you going?"

With a roar of a tiger and a dragon, Zhao Yun dragged his bloody spear and rushed towards Chen Wu like a storm.

Chen Wu, who was running wildly, turned back suddenly and saw Zhao Yun standing before him like a silver tower.

The blood spear stabbed out in a spiral, carrying the power of thunder and lightning, and headed straight for his face.

Chen Wu's face changed drastically.

His martial arts skills are not weak. If they fight head-on, he may be able to withstand Zhao Yun for several rounds.

But now he has no warhorse, is in a hurry and at a loss, how can he be a match for Zhao Yun?

Before he could block with the sword in his hand, the gun tip was already in front of him.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Chen Wu's head exploded and shattered into pieces.

Kill the enemy with one move.

Zhao Yun reined in his horse and looked around, only to see that thousands of Jiangdong soldiers had been killed, and only a few dozen survivors had fled into Juqu Lake.

"Pass the order down, light the signal fire immediately, and send a message to Huang Hansheng, Lu Boyan and others, ordering them to attack the water camp south of the city immediately!"

Zhao Yun waved his bloody spear and issued an order.

Three beacon fires immediately rose above the dam.

Zhao Yun led the White Horse Volunteers and marched south along the embankment, heading straight for the water camp south of Wu County.

...

A few miles away, there is Shuiying on the north bank of Songjiang River.

Sun Quan was standing with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the direction of the Juquze Dam to the west of Wu County.

When the three beacon fires rose, Sun Quan finally couldn't contain his excitement and burst into laughter.

According to the prior agreement, after Chen Wu dug up the dam, he would use three beacon fires as a signal to inform them.

Now that the war has begun, it is natural that Chen Wu has accomplished his mission.

"There have been several heavy rains in recent days, and the water level in Juqu Lake is quite high. Even if it doesn't drown Liu Jun's entire division, it will at least kill tens of thousands of his men."

"With this great victory, my lord will not only be able to hold his head high, but also Prime Minister Cao will look upon him with a different eye after he leaves for Jiangbei."

Zhang Zhao smiled and described the advantages to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's laughter turned into a sneer. He stroked his purple beard and looked north, saying sarcastically:

"Big-eared thief, you boast of being invincible in every battle, but you didn't expect to suffer such a heavy defeat in Wu County."

"And you, Xiao He, you country bumpkin, you're a brilliant thinker, but unfortunately, you always make mistakes—"

Before he could utter any sarcastic words, a horn suddenly sounded from outside the camp.

"Capture Biyan'er alive!"

"Capture Biyan'er alive!"

The deafening shouts of killing were followed by thunder-like cries.

Sun Quan's figure shook, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhang Zhao anxiously.

The smile on Zhang Zhao's face was replaced by surprise, and he was at a loss for a moment.

"My lord, Liu's army suddenly attacked outside the water camp. Judging from their momentum, there are at least nearly 20,000 soldiers!"

Jia Hua rode his horse at full speed and shouted in fear.

Sun Quan shuddered with fright.

Twenty thousand Liu troops, that is the entire strength of Liu Bei’s vanguard army!
But shouldn't these 20,000 horses be in the camp north of Wu County now, waiting to be swept away by the flood of Ju Quze?
How come they suddenly crossed Wu County and attacked his water camp?

Sun Quan looked confused and suspicious.

At this moment, seven or eight boats returned from the direction of Juquze and sailed into the water camp.

Soon, several surviving generals stumbled up to Sun Quan.

"My lord, we were ambushed by Liu Jun's cavalry at the dike. General Song and General Chen were both killed by Zhao Yun!"

"We failed to dig the lake embankment, and more than a thousand of our brothers were almost wiped out!"

The generals knelt on the ground and reported the bad news with lingering fear.

Sun Quan's head buzzed, he felt dizzy, and staggered to the ground.

"Lord!"

Zhang Zhao hurried forward to support him.

Sun Quan's legs went weak and he lost his balance. Without time to support Zhang Zhao, he fell to the ground.
