Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 88 The Most Popular Showdown in History——Zhou Yu vs Zhu

() With the method of breaking the formation, the next step will be easy.Zhuge Liang ordered the messengers around him to tell the generals how to act.Passing orders to the generals of each formation one by one, dozens of horses galloped out, heading straight for the generals of each formation.

Zhou Yu's formation is a four-door formation, which is actually a four-element formation.It is arranged in four formations in the order of front, back, left, and right.Seemingly simple, it is unpredictable.Don't think that it is simply divided into four parts, there are actually many ways in the middle.Some are responsible for the main attack, some are feints, and others are defensive.Shield soldiers, pike soldiers, short sword soldiers, archers, cavalry, chariot soldiers, etc. are mixed together, and they can attack or defend, depending on the commander.

The four-element array comes from Fuxi's gossip theory. The four images in Chinese mythology first refer to the earth, fire, water, and wind. Taiji gives birth to two appearances, and two appearances give birth to four images. Taiji is one, meaning chaos, and two appearances refer to yin and yang. , and yin and yang derive from earth, water, fire and wind.In traditional Chinese culture, the green dragon, white tiger, rosefinch, and basalt are the representatives of the four elephants. The blue dragon represents wood, the white tiger represents wind, the red bird represents fire, and the xuanwu represents water. They also represent the four directions of east, west, north, south, and south respectively.In the 28 constellations, the four images are used to divide the stars in the sky, also known as the four gods and the four spirits. In the astronomical yin and yang theory of Chunqiu Yichuan, it refers to the natural phenomena of the four seasons, which are called Shaoyang, the sun, Shaoyin, and Taiyin respectively.

The traditional orientation of China is that the south is at the top, so to describe the orientation of the four images, it will also be expressed by saying the left green dragon (east), the right white tiger (west), the front red bird (south), and the back Xuanwu (north). (East Wood, West Gold, North Water, South Fire) echoes above.Four images also refer to wind, rain, thunder, and electricity, the four natural weather conditions.

Just like this mythological theory, the four-element array is also so unpredictable.Zhou Yu's [-]-strong army was led by the only four surviving young generals, Lv Meng, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, and Ling Tong, who were officials and school lieutenants, and Sima.Even the dolls of the [-]th and [-]th became colonels and generals, which shows that Jiangdong is really at the end of his rope.

One after another, the generals were beheaded by the Jingzhou army.There are only a few people left.Zhou Yu added two or three to do five, with Lu Meng as the front army, Pan Zhang and Ding Feng as the left and right wings, and Ling Tong as the rear.Each led five thousand or three thousand soldiers and horses.Zhou Yu sits in the middle army and directs the battle.

After completing his meritorious service in one battle, Zhuge Liang dispatched the most elite troops and generals.Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, and Zhang Xiu led [-] troops to break the formation.One general has five hundred cavalry and four thousand infantry. Although each general does not have many troops, they are all elites with one as ten.

Zhou Yu had already set up his battle position, chariots, spears, repelling horses and other weapons to prevent the enemy from rushing into the formation.The bows and crossbows are all ready, and the swords are ready, just waiting for the enemy to charge into the battle.According to Zhuge Liangliang's estimation, Lu Meng's troops are regarded as the most elite of Zhou Yu. On the surface, they mainly focus on defense. Once the situation changes, they can switch from defense to offense.

So eating this army is the key to this battle.The two armies of Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiu attacked Lv Meng; Huang Zhong cut off the Jiangdong Army's left wing, Wei Yan intercepted its right wing; before the two wings reacted, they forcibly attacked Lv Meng's division and captured Lv Meng alive-this was Liu Qi's order.

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang repeatedly asked Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to block the reinforcements and prevent Jiangdong from supporting Lu Meng.Even in the battle, even a soldier and a horse cannot take half a step back.

Jingzhou's [-] soldiers and horses were placed in front of the formation, divided into four parts, and there were some chariot-shaped things behind them, which were blocked by bead curtains, behind the four main groups.Zhou Yu was a little surprised when he saw it, and asked Lu Su, "What kind of equipment is this? Could it be a chariot?"

Lu Su also shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It might be Liu Qi's secret weapon. It's nothing more than a chariot. I want to open up the situation when the battle is in turmoil."

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, and said, "No matter what, the four troops in Jingzhou are the most important. As long as they can be defeated, no other countermeasures will work. Pass down the order and ask the generals to deal with it carefully."

"Kill!" Zhang Fei yelled, and rushed to kill the enemy first.The tiger rushed into the flock, and immediately there was a space around it.Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North, followed closely behind, and the two led nearly [-] elites, and immediately set off a bloody storm.A thousand cavalry from Jingzhou ruthlessly trampled on the land of Jiangdong, kicking one person away with each kick.

The Jiangdong army was not to be outdone, and the elite soldiers raised their spears fiercely, behind the chariot, seeing the opportunity, the spears stabbed out.The Jingzhou cavalry didn't investigate for a while, and suddenly they turned their backs on their horses and didn't know whether they were alive or dead.The Jiangdong archers at the back, seeing the enemy entering the range, let go of their bowstrings one after another, firing all their arrows.

The two torrents of Huang Zhong, Wei Yan also rushed to the front of the Jiangdong formation, and collided with the two departments of Pan Zhang, Ding Feng.The collision of iron and iron, the contest of blood and blood.According to the order of the coach Zhuge Liang, the two did not get entangled with Jiangdong's left and right wings, and went straight into Jiangdong's formation.Then turn around and open up the battle.

This is where Zhou Yu, who was still in the Chinese army, said badly to himself, and immediately ordered Pan Zhang's and Ding Feng's troops to open up the connection with Lu Meng.Zhou Yu's ability to observe the battlefield is very good. Just looking at the postures of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, he knew what was going on.Decisively ordered the left and right wings to support Lu Meng, and must open the channel before Lu Meng was encircled and wiped out.

But it was still over, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan turned together and immediately set up a wild goose formation, with spearmen in front, shield soldiers in the back, archers in the middle, and short blade soldiers in the back.The two of them had nine thousand soldiers and horses stretching for several miles to block Pan Zhang and Ding Feng tightly, not giving them any chance to take advantage of it.

Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to attack Lv Meng's troops, although Lv Meng led the elite Jiangdong army with a strength of [-].But still lost to the pincer attack of two top military generals, he couldn't hold on for a while, and the battle was shaky.

Zhou Yu gave Pan Zhangding a death order. If Lu Meng cannot be supported within half an hour, he will come to see him.Pan Zhang was originally a brave man, and when he received the order, he immediately ordered his subordinates to fight to the death.He even took the lead and rushed forward, holding a halberd, chopping and sweeping, beheading more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers, opening a gap.

Just as Pan Zhang led his troops to storm the gap, general Huang Zhong rode out on his horse with a sword in his hand, shouted loudly, and took Pan Zhang straight.Seeing Huang Zhong's voice like thunder, Pan Zhang was terrified; just as he was about to leave, Ding Feng saw that Pan Zhang couldn't hold back the enemy, so he swung his sword and rode his horse.When Wei Yan saw him, he jumped on a horse and raised a knife to meet him.Huang Zhong yelled, chopped Pan Zhang over with a knife, and knocked him off his horse.Ding Feng was shocked and caught off guard. Wei Yan knocked him off his horse with a knife, and was caught and tied up by Jingzhou infantry.

Jiangdong's left and right winged generals were captured once to death, and his subordinates had no fighting spirit.Lu Meng persisted for an hour, but the Jiangdong soldiers around him kept decreasing. The Jingzhou army fought more and more, and finally they were exhausted and captured.
