    ———————————— The sky is gloomy and there is no wind.  ￡∝ There is still an invisible heat wave rolling in the air, it is sultry and sultry, so stuffy that people can’t breathe, and every breath they exhale is filled with burning heat.  Outside the south gate of Wancheng, on the Shiliping wilderness.  Looking down from the sky, two iron-blue clouds appear in the wilderness. Looking closer, they look like two abstract paintings with extremely irregular shapes made of splashed ink, which makes people infinitely daydream.  The two dark clouds are the Western Jin army in the decisive battle at Wancheng and the Jingzhou army under Liu Biao of the Southern Han Dynasty.  There are numerous soldiers and flags, and half a million troops confront each other from the north to the south.  ??The clouds are thick and the sky is full of murderous intent. The yellow land witnesses who belongs to the country.  In front of the Jingzhou Army, Pang Tong, who had always been a Confucian scholar, also put on a battle armor at this time. He appeared as the commander-in-chief of the three armies for the first time, officially replacing Huang Zu and taking charge of the 260,000 Jingzhou Army.  Behind him, four tiger-backed soldiers guarded the Chinese army banner that symbolized the status of the supreme commander. The black commander's flag automatically fluttered in the air without wind.  In front of the army formation with Pang Tong as the center, more than thirty Jingzhou generals stood reining their horses on the left and right sides. Liu Biao's disciples Liu Pan, Wenpin, Zhang Yun, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Dong Xi, Pan Zhang, Ling Tong  Huo Ran, Zhu Yi, Zhu Ran, Cai Zhong, Cai He and other generals from Jingzhou and Jiangdong were among them.  In addition to military generals, there were more than ten major civil servants and counselors from Jingzhou and Jiangdong in front of the formation, including Kuai Yue, Zhang Zhao, Han Song, Yu Fan, Cai Xin, etc.  The front army in front of the guard formation was composed of 50,000 huge shield spearmen. The black shield completely blocked the central army and rear army behind, so that the Western Jin army on the opposite side could not peek at the main force configuration of the Jingzhou Army's central army; several  Tens of thousands of spears pointed directly at the sky, and the cold blades were filled with a murderous aura as strong as the substance.  Silence filled the entire wilderness, and a murderous and murderous atmosphere enveloped the 200,000 main army behind the front army.  Of course, the Western Jin army could not see the strength distribution of the Jingzhou Central Army.  But the coach Pang Tong who was in front of the formation knew the formation behind him well.  The battle formation of the Chinese army behind the giant shield pikemen consists of five battle formations, namely: the cavalry flying geese formation composed of 70,000 war cavalry located on both wings of the central army.  A square defensive formation of 50,000 heavy armored infantry located on the inner side of the cavalry, and three special arms such as crossbows, thunderbolt chariots and chariots formed a sharp-shooting army battle formation of 50,000 horses.  Therefore, the Chinese army has a total of 160,000 soldiers and horses, which combines all the arms that can be used in frontal decisive battles, thus forming a Chinese army camp that integrates offense and defense.  The rear of the Chinese army is the rear army, with more than 40,000 troops. Its duty is to supply the army's ordnance and baggage, and to be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.  Therefore, compared with the front army and the middle army, the rear army has fewer troops and horses.  But it is as complete as a sparrow.  In addition to the 20,000 heavy baggage troops who are responsible for supplying armaments, there are also 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 giant shield soldiers, 5,000 spearmen, 5,000 tiger warriors guarding heavy siege weapons, and 3,000 scouts and sentries.  ride.  Nearly 300,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of war horses, tens of thousands of flags, and swords, guns, swords and halberds as far as the eye can see form the Jingzhou Army Formation.  Opposing the Jingzhou Army in the south was the Western Jin Army in the north.  In front of the army formation, the rear general Zhuge Liang reined his horse in the middle. On the left and right sides were gathered the commanders of the battalions who were going to Nanyang this time and the civil servants and counselors who were accompanying the army.  Immediately to the left of Zhuge Liang are: Sima Yi, the commander of the army.  General Lu Bu and deputy general Zang Ba of the Wolf Cavalry Army, general Ma Chao and deputy general Wang Ping of the Longxiang Camp, Ji Ling and Chen Lan, the guards of Yingchuan; on the right are: General Bo Cai of the Wuwei Camp, deputy general Jin, and Yang Fu, the chief of the accompanying army.  Zhang Fei, the commander of the Zhuque Camp, Duan Xuan, the deputy general, Guan Yu, the guard general, Wu Yi, the commander of the Nanyang County government troops, and Lei Tong, the deputy general.  also.  There were more than ten generals reining in their horses and stationed on both sides of the formation, while another deputy general from each battalion stayed behind to guard the headquarters.  Don't show up in front of the battle, always waiting for the general's orders.  Lead the army to charge and kill.  The formation of the Western Jin army was roughly the same as that of the Jingzhou army, but its strength was significantly less than that of the Jingzhou army.  The front army is composed of 30,000 giant shield spearmen, and the middle army is 120,000 Xiliang cavalry. The rear army is divided into two parts. On the left is a heavy impact array composed of 30,000 crossbows, chariots and thunder chariots, and on the right is 20,000 ordnance.  Heavy troops.  In addition, there are 10,000 scouts and sentinel cavalry floating between the central army and the rear army. At first glance, they seem not to be participating in the battle, but they look like a strange force that can attack and defend.  Therefore, the Western Jin army participating in the war totaled 210,000 soldiers and horses. The front, middle and rear armies showed a situation of being top-heavy and bloated.  The overall strength is 50,000 less than that of the Jingzhou Army, but for such a large-scale decisive battle, the difference in tens of thousands of troops is almost negligible. The difference in strength is not big, and they can be said to be evenly matched.  It is precisely because of the equal strength of both sides that the coaches of both sides forced the two armies to agree to a decisive battle between the two armies. The battle will determine the outcome.  Otherwise, with the existing troops and horses of the two armies, if strategies and tactics are adopted to avoid reality and replace reality, then this battle will definitely be delayed. It may be difficult to determine the outcome within three to five years.  In this way, even if the two armiesThe soldiers can hold on and survive, but the supply of food, grass and baggage on both sides is probably unsustainable and unable to support hundreds of thousands of troops in successive campaigns.  Therefore, a head-on battle is an inevitable choice for the coaches of the two armies, and there is no other way.  Time passed little by little. For half an hour since the two armies had finished arranging their troops, there was an eerie silence in front of the two armies. The generals on both sides seemed to have no intention of shouting in front of the formation. They faced each other three hundred steps apart, watching intently.  The other party never said a word.  In fact, as early as when the two armies were lining up, Pang Tong took his seats one by one under the identification of his generals, keeping the names of the Western Jin generals firmly in his heart.  The appearance of Yingchuan defenders Ji Ling and Chen Lan, as well as generals such as Guan Yu who came to support, made Pang Tong realize that the Battle of Yingchuan was over.  Just as Xu Shu had predicted during his lifetime, Cao Ren's army did not escape the interception and pursuit of the Xiliang army after all, and the entire army was annihilated.  It was precisely because Cao Ren's army was completely annihilated by the Xiliang army that the Yingchuan defenders, Guan Yu and others appeared here to lead their troops to assist Wancheng in the decisive battle. As a result, Zhuge Liang's troops increased sharply, from the fifteenth day of the month half a month ago.  Ten thousand Buqi increased to more than 200,000 troops in front of them.  At the same time, the destruction of Cao Ren's army meant that the surprise plan of the Southern Han and Northern Wei to jointly send troops to Sili was shattered.  Although the war was not over yet, Cao Ren mobilized an army of 220,000 troops to attack Sili, but was eventually annihilated by the Xiliang army in Sili territory; this indicated that the Wei state had been crippled.  More than half of the troops and horses were lost, and their strength was greatly reduced.  It was no longer able to contain the Western Jin army, so all the pressure was transferred to the Jingzhou army.  As a result, the Jingzhou Army had to face the crushing of the Western Jin army independently and face the Jin army with millions of troops on its own.  The situation has deteriorated to this point. Whether the situation can be reversed depends on the battle in front of us.  However, when it comes to large-scale decisive battles, conspiracy or strategizing is so feeble.  Because the generals, generals and counselors of both sides who lead the army in the battle are not ordinary people. The other side can think of any strategies and plans you can think of, and they will always watch your every move and take corresponding countermeasures as soon as they are discovered.  This way.  If you want to plot against the other party, you must first be prepared to be plotted by the other party; if you don't want the other party to catch any flaws or mistakes, it's best not to act rashly. It's better to stay still than to move. The best strategy is to detect the opponent's moves and strike first.  Otherwise, any little cleverness or tricks will be self-inflicted. Not only will they not be able to plot against the opponent, but they will be exploited by the opponent after being exposed, thereby causing harm to oneself and the army.  The officers and soldiers of the three armies were implicated.  Therefore, there is no room for luck in a head-on decisive battle. Strength is the only basis for determining victory or defeat.  Three hundred steps apart, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang looked at each other from afar.  Their eyes met in the air, and although they didn't speak to each other, they could clearly feel everything from each other's eyes.  Here and now.  Eyes are the windows to the soul, and silence is better than sound.  As a former classmate and friend.  Now that we meet on the battlefield, there is no need to be sarcastic with each other.  Don’t even try to discredit the other person to elevate yourself.  Because Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang have known each other for many years, they really understand each other very well.  Zhuge Liang was extremely eloquent and good at eloquent speeches. He could talk about everything from the past to the present. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was very eloquent. Therefore, if he wanted to show off his power of words, Pang Tong believed that he was no match for Zhuge Liang.  Since you can't defeat others, why bother yourself?  "Beat the drums—the battle begins!" Suddenly, Pang Tong reined up his horse, stood up straight, drew his sword and shouted: "Beat the drums and begin the battle, the chariots rush into the formation!" "Dong dong dong dong dong——!" Followed by  A sound of war drums broke the silence in front of the formation, and the roaring sound of war drums resounded like thunder through the wilderness, clearly reaching the ears of all Jingzhou soldiers.  On the commander's platform of the Chinese Army, the flag bearer in charge of the command flag waved the command flag, and the chariot array located in the Chinese Army was immediately dispatched.  The war horses neighed and the earth roared. Thousands of two-horse chariots drove straight in, passed through the passage vacated by the front army, rushed out of the military formation at lightning speed, and rushed straight towards the Western Jin army.  In front of the Western Jin army formation, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong ordered the battle almost at the same time: "The crossbowmen come forward, fire three volleys, let go——!" The war drums roared, the giant shield soldiers spread out to both sides, 10,000 archers and five  Thousands of crossbowmen stepped forward quickly, and following Zhuge Liang's order, thousands of arrows were fired.  From this moment on, a decisive battle to determine the ownership of the Central Plains officially kicked off. Chariots galloped, thunderbolts shook the chords, sharp arrows pierced the clouds, and the killing broke the sky? ******************  **** Luoyang Palace.  Li Li, who was wearing a yellow robe, stood with his hands behind his hands, standing on the corridor and looking up at the south sky. His deep eyes were dark and unclear, as if he was deep in thought, but the expression on his face was extremely calm and calm, making it impossible to understand.  A gust of cool wind blew, Li Li's ears moved slightly, and he asked softly: "It should be the Yingchuan battle report that has arrived?" "Your Majesty is wise, and I am here to forward the Yingchuan battle report to General Zhou Yu."  Li Zhi, who was originally tiptoeing, immediately walked quickly to Li Li after hearing the sound.?? handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Li Li.  Just as Li Li unfolded the bamboo slips and looked through them, Li Zhi said softly: "The soldiers who submitted the battle report brought a verbal message from General Zhou Yu, asking for your majesty's instructions on how to deal with the captured generals of Cao's army, including the seriously injured General Wei.  Generals Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and others. "Since they are of no use to me, why say anything?" As he spoke, Li Li quickly read the battle report, threw the bamboo slip to Li Zhi, and turned around to walk into the main hall.  ————————To be continued————————————————(To be continued please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: [Sincere thanks  : Thank you for your monthly ticket support from Qiangua Book Club】
