Chapter 389: Suddenly Realizing the Trap
The ending was as expected by everyone.

Under Zhou Tai's fierce attack, Xu Chu pretended to be defeated.

He managed to escape with his life by jumping into the water of Chaohu Lake.

He fled back in a panic.

Zhou Tai won again, and Xu Chu was defeated.

It made the Eastern Wu army unstoppable and unprecedentedly powerful!

Just as Sun Quan expected that Cao Cao might choose to stop after a series of defeats.

Unexpectedly, new challenges came from the other side!

This move surprised Sun Quan.

But it also made the generals under his command inexplicably excited!

These generals have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and have no prominent reputation.

At this moment, he saw a great opportunity to use the name of Cao's general to achieve his own glory!
There was no need for Sun Quan to say anything more afterwards, as long as he heard the voice of challenge from Cao’s generals.

The generals rushed into the battle like excited beasts.

In one day, all the generals sent by Cao's army were wiped out!

It's also a terrible record!

Only Le Jin, who suffered heavy losses along with Jiang Qin, managed to save the Cao army's face.

There are also many Cao army captains whose skills are slightly inferior.

He fell under the sword of the Eastern Wu general.

He was not able to escape disaster like Cao Hong, Yu Jin and others.

Three days of brutal fighting will end.

Cao's army only achieved some success in a few battles, and lost the rest.

More than twenty generals were killed in the battle, and morale suffered a severe blow.

This series of victories boosted the morale of the Jiangdong army.

At this time, everyone volunteered, eager to engage in an all-out battle with Cao's army.

Faced with such a situation, Sun Quan was overwhelmed with emotion.

However, the generals under his command gradually lost their vigilance in this continuous victory.

So on the third night, another day of fighting came to an end.

Inside the ship's cabin, Sun Quan looked at those people who exuded murderous aura.

It seems that the general no longer regards Cao's army as a threat.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration came into my mind!
He immediately understood Cao Cao's true intention of taking the initiative to challenge.

As the saying goes: Arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and underestimating the enemy will lead to destruction!
Right now, the generals in his army are so arrogant.

It is obvious that he is relying on his bravery to underestimate the enemy!
That villain Cao clearly wanted to take advantage of the general's failure to paralyze the morale of his troops!

At the same time, it weakened his own vigilance against Cao's army.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan looked through the night and gazed far into the north.

I thought to myself: Cao Mengde, what will be your next move?

With your cunning, you must be planning to launch a night attack while our army is complacent, right?

But luckily I have seen through your scheme!
Your tricks will only make you a laughing stock for the whole world!
So Sun Quan suddenly turned around and slammed the table with his palm.

Such a sound resounded throughout the cabin.

It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present!

"Everyone, it's time to wake up from your dream!"

"If we continue to indulge in the illusion of victory."

"I'm afraid we're about to fall into Cao Cao's trap without even realizing it!"

He then outlined his conclusions one by one.

As soon as these words fell, the faces of the Jiangdong generals present changed.

Suddenly, his initial pride turned into surprise and indignation!

"What a thief Cao! How cunning he is!"

"How despicable of a traitor! He actually used the victory or defeat of his own soldiers as bait!"

"I am so angry! Those northern heroes are so loyal and willing to work for him!"

For a while, voices cursing Cao Cao were heard one after another.

At the same time, there were constant voices praising Sun Quan's wisdom and bravery!
"My Lord, your opinion is great! Cao Cao's intentions are sinister and truly despicable!"

"Thanks to my lord's wisdom, we were able to see through his scheme!"

"Yes, my lord, you are very perceptive. We only know how to charge into battle, and we are far less thoughtful than you."

"My Lord! No matter what tricks Cao Cao has, we will be ready to fight!"

"But my lord, Cao Cao deceived us with a false defeat. How should our army respond?"

Facing the generals under his command who have already seen the situation clearly.

Sun Quan's mouth also drew a confident arc at this time. "Humph! Cao Cao is so painstaking."

"Isn't it their intention to let us relax our vigilance so that they can raid our camp at night?"

"I have a plan to deal with this!"

Then, he looked around at everyone present and said slowly:

"Since Cao Cao thought we had underestimated the enemy."

"Then we will just take advantage of their trick!"

Inside the cabin of the Jiangdong ship, all the generals faced their lord.

That confident face couldn't help but look stunned.

"My lord, why do you take advantage of others' tricks?"

"Could it be that we attacked the camp opposite first?"

"Yes! Please let me know, my lord!"

Everyone asked at this time.

Seeing this, Sun Quan smiled and stopped keeping the secret.

"Haha, then Cao Cao is just learning how to fight with generals during these three days of competition."

"Will it make us relax our vigilance and weaken our military's preparedness?"

"In that case..."

"Then let it be and give him what he wants!"

As he spoke, Sun Quan glanced at Lu Meng, Huang Gai and others one by one.

The voice was calm and powerful and ordered:

"General Huang, Ziming!"

"After nightfall, the two of you will lead the army and follow me to retreat to Ruxuwu."

"Only a few ships are left at the intersection of Ruxukou and Chaohu Lake to confuse Cao Cao!"

"Wen Xiang, Wen Gui..." Sun Quan turned to look at Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang.

His words revealed calmness and confidence.

"The two of them will lead a group of soldiers and station on both sides of Hanshan and Koushan, waiting for the situation to change."

"If the enemy attacks at night, there is no need to rush to attack."

"When they penetrate deep into the Ruxu waters and engage our navy head-on..."

"You guys attack from the flank!"

"Cut off their retreat in one fell swoop, forcing them to retreat!"

"In this way, Cao Cao can command thousands of troops."

"You will also be stuck in a quagmire, with no way back!"

Sun Quan clenched his fists and looked determined.

A gleam of determination flickered in the dim light of the cabin.

When the generals heard this plan, they all stood up, clasped their fists and said, "As you command!"

Although the veteran Huang Gai had his doubts, he was ultimately unable to refute them.

They all stood up and said, "Yes, sir!"

Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Sun Quan waved his hand and said:

"Generals, go down and get ready!"

"In the past few days, our army has killed countless enemies and has shown its edge!"

"Tonight, we will carry the momentum of victory..."

"Defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and secure victory in this battle!"

"Wait until the autumn tide rises in ten months, and then we can take advantage of the situation to march north to the Central Plains!"

"By then, even Jingzhou will be within our grasp!"

"Even though Cao Cao had great ambitions, he could only retreat in disgrace."

At this moment, Sun Quan seemed to have broken through the fog of war before him with extraordinary wisdom.

A counter-attack chess game was laid out for the upcoming night attack.

A historical reversal is about to take place quietly on the shores of Chaohu Lake.

Wait until the night deepens.

A thin mist shrouded the sky above Chaohu Lake, obscuring the warships of both sides.

Whether it is Cao Cao or the civil and military officials on the flagship.

No one can sleep tonight, after three days of losing streak, all for the battle tonight!
At this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for news from the front.

Wait for the next move of the Jiangdong army opposite.
