White Beach is the largest beach in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, located between Jiangzhou and Jiangyang. Every summer, the sand washed up by the river is exposed to the sun and instantly evaporates the river water, turning the originally black sand into white.
This is where the name White Beach comes from. Due to severe desertification of the local land, no crops can be grown on the land, and the only way to survive is through fishing.
Since Jiangzhou was used as a battlefield, although people on both sides have strictly restrained their troops and have not disturbed the lives of nearby people, many people still fled. In this era of military conflict and everyone's survival is precarious, what the people fear most is
It's just swordsmanship, let alone such a huge battle. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides dispersed, and all the strong people who could escape ran away.
Before noon, the troops and horses of both sides were already positioned, but some brave people were still watching from the distant hillside. The total number of troops and horses on both sides was more than 100,000. As the saying goes, an army of more than 10,000 has no borders.
Wan Dajun could not see the end at a glance. The flags blocked the sun above his head, and the shirtless drummer beat the huge war drum with all his strength. Every beat made the heart tremble.
Qi Lao Er asked Qi Lao San: "Lao San, which one of these two sides do you think can win?"
Qi Laosan shook his head: "It's hard to say, it's really hard to say."
"I heard that Long Fei's soldiers and horses are very powerful. Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by them. I think Liu Bei and the others are a little worried this time." Qi Laoer lay on the ground, his neck stretched out, staring intently.
looked at the battle formation below.
"It would be okay if Long Fei could win. I heard that the people in Jiangzhou live a pretty good life. They have houses and land, and the government pays them back for their work!" Qi Laosan said with some yearning.
The two people were discussing here vigorously, and the two troops at the foot of the mountain also made new moves. Long Fei was the first to ride out, and slowly came to the front of the formation alone. Zhuge Liang on the opposite side was also carried by several soldiers to face him.
Both sides had no soldiers or guards. Long Fei stopped his horse, and Zhuge Liang also stopped his sedan chair. The two were ten steps apart, and the distance they walked was neither far nor close, and they were right in the middle of the two groups of soldiers and horses.
Long Fei cupped his fists and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Zhuge!"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "Yes, it's been a long time. Since we left Changsha, General Long's reputation has spread all over the world. Anyone who sees him will tremble a few times. I'm a timid person, so it's better not to see him."
"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed loudly: "There are not many people in this world that I, Long Fei, can take a liking to. You, Mr. Zhuge, are one of them. What a pity!"
"What's the pity?"
Long Fei smiled: "Sir, he is young and has a lot of knowledge. If he can use his intelligence and talents in the right way, the world will be very lucky, the people will be very lucky, and I, a big man, will be very lucky. Who would have thought that you would do it for your own selfish desires, or for a small child?"
Don’t you think it’s a pity, sir, to risk your life for the interests of some people?”
Zhuge Liang also smiled: "The general thinks it's a pity for me, but I think it's a pity for the general! Didn't the general commit himself to Dong's thieves before? Then he held the emperor hostage, colluded with Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao, and now he's holding the emperor hostage to order the princes, and he is looking at the world to steal my country!
Liu Huangsun is a dignified member of the Han Dynasty. He regards the world as his own responsibility and does not want to associate with wolves. However, the general said that he is a traitor to the world. Isn't it a joke? "
Long Fei let out a long breath: "Sir, your eloquence skills are indeed rare in the world. He is the first person I have ever seen. He can talk the dead into living things. He is indeed amazing! Let's not talk about this, let's talk about now? Looking at Liu Bei
The situation is in danger, and with your intelligence, you should know the future direction, why not abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side?"
"What is darkness and what is light?" Before Long Fei could finish speaking, Zhuge Liang interrupted Long Fei: "The general once said that there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in major affairs in the world, but only eternal interests. Since only interests come from there.
What is the difference between light and dark? What the general thinks is bright is indeed dark in my opinion. This world belongs to the Han Dynasty. General Long’s house arrest of the emperor is the traitor of the Han Dynasty. How can we, as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, associate with the traitor? "
"Isn't Liu Bei a traitor? Why do you want to associate with him, sir?"
Zhuge Liang said: "I believe in the general's words. I am only with Liu Bei for profit. Only Liu Bei can give me what I want. If I stay with the general, it may not be so convenient."
The two of them were quarreling with each other, saying things that hurt each other's hearts, but they were smiling on the surface and there was no feeling of hostility at all. From time to time, there would be hearty laughter. The two of them talked for almost half an hour.
.Seeing that the sun was already three poles high, there was no intention of fighting at all. In just half an hour, the quality of the soldiers was clearly distinguished from the bad ones.
The sun above our heads is getting more and more poisonous, and the heavily armed soldiers are sweating profusely, especially the heavily armored infantry, who wear hundreds of kilograms of equipment on their bodies. Standing on the sand under the sun, if you are not careful, your whole body will fall.
Go in.
Liu Bei's soldiers were a little dazed from being burned by the sun. Several soldiers couldn't stand the strong sunlight and fainted. Most of the soldiers closed their eyes and gasped for air. But Long Jun stood quietly one by one.
, not much has changed because of too much time, as if the scorching sun above my head does not exist, and my waist is straight.
Qi Laosan nodded: "Yes! Second brother, you see, the quality of these soldiers and horses is now different. Zhuge Liang will probably lose this battle!"
Qi Laoer shook his head: "I don't think so. Last night I heard that Heiniu Valley was busy all night. Zhuge Liang must be setting up some mechanism. If Long Fei's troops are ambushed, it's hard to say whether they will win or lose."
"What? Zhuge Liang also set a trap for Long Fei?" Qi Laosan said, "This person is really unreasonable. It's too dark to be able to do something evil on a battlefield like this!"
"Whether it's black or not, as long as you can win, I think it's a good idea!"
The conversation between Long Fei and Zhuge Liang finally came to an end, and both sides bowed their hands and said goodbye. It was obvious that no one had persuaded the other, and this conversation was just a routine before the war. As the saying goes, be polite before fighting. This is probably the truth.
Long Fei said: "It seems that we can't agree on the same thing. If we don't agree, we can only take action! Mr. Zhuge, do you think how we fight? I will fight in both civil and martial arts!"
"What a loud tone!" Zhuge Liang shook his head: "In that case, how about we fight the generals first, then the formations, and finally the soldiers?"
This is the first time for Long Fei to see such a grand decisive battle. In the past, the battles were either sneak attacks or surprise attacks. This is the first time for a face-to-face confrontation. Long Fei nodded: "Okay! That's it, let's take our leave!"
The so-called fighting generals are just like on TV. Both sides send their own generals to fight in the field. Whoever has the ability to kill the opponent wins. There are no rules and no restrictions. The first person Liu Beijun sent was Xiao Jiang, who looked a little rough.
Crazy, if it weren't for his chin, I wouldn't have thought he was in his forties. He was not tall, but he was indeed extremely tall. He went to fight in the field and shouted: "I am Wu Lan, the general of Yizhou. Who is coming to die?"
Dian Wei was always the one who couldn't stand it any longer. Without waiting for Long Fei's instructions, he rushed out on his own horse and said, "***, I'm not afraid of getting out of my way when I say this! Your grandpa Dian will send you back to the west!"
"
It was obvious that the two sides were not on the same level when they started fighting. Dian Wei struck with a halberd, and Wu Lan raised his sword to meet him. This time, he only used it once. Dian Wei's iron halberd smashed Wu Lan's hilt and continued downward, knocking Wu Lan
The chest was smashed, and even the horse that was sitting down was hit so hard that its waist collapsed and its legs fell to the ground. Everyone was shocked, especially Liu Beijun's men, who all took a deep breath.
"How dare you come out and call for battle with this little ability?" Dian Wei snorted coldly, spit on the ground, and looked up at Liu Beijun opposite: "Is there anyone who is not afraid of death? Come on!"
The team here was quiet, and no one dared to step forward. Ma Liang looked around. Zhuge Liang said: "Issuing the order, we will admit defeat!"
The battle formation is similar to the battle of generals, except that it is not a fight between two sides. First, one side sets up a formation, and the other side sends people to break the formation. If they can break it, they win. If they can't, they will die in it. This time, Zhuge Liang came first.
Zhuge Liang winked at Ma Liang. Ma Liang understood, raised his command flag and waved it forward. Eight teams of soldiers and horses ran out from behind. Each pair had different colors of uniforms and flags. They ran back and forth in the open space while shouting.
The eyes of those who saw it were dizzy.
I don’t know what kind of formation these people put up. If there is something like a helicopter, it would be much easier to see from above. Long Fei suddenly had this idea. Seeing that Dian Wei won first, Xu Chu was eager to try: "My lord, Xu Chu is not talented.
Want to give it a try?"
"General Xu, wait a minute!" Xu Shu hurriedly stopped Xu Chu: "When I was in Jingzhou, I heard that Zhuge Kongming created a very powerful formation called the Bagua Formation. Judging from the posture just now, it should be like this. If you don't understand the formation, you may have trouble.
accident!"
Long Fei nodded: "Yes! We don't fight uncertain battles. We can't lose one of our generals just because of this small battle formation. Fengxiao, Yuanzhi, you guys will take a look first. If we really can't defeat us,
Just give up!”
"Lord, giving up like this may damage the reputation of our army, and the morale of the soldiers will also be low!" Xu Chu said quickly.
"What kind of reputation?" Long Fei dismissed it: "Is life more important, or what kind of reputation is more important? No one is allowed to break the formation privately without my order!"
Seeing that there was no movement in the opponent's camp for a long time, Ma Liang was a little anxious: "Commander, why do you think they didn't move?" Zhuge Liang did not speak and looked at the opposite side quietly. Ma Liang still couldn't let go and kept sending people to urge the opponent to break the formation. The people who came back
He said that Long Fei wanted to study it. Ma Liang was also helpless. Just half an hour later, he suddenly saw a person running from the opposite side and handed over to Ma Liang: "My lord said, this formation is weird and none of us can break it.
We abstained from this round, and you win!" After saying that, he left without looking back.
Ma Liang threw the flag to the ground and said fiercely: "This slick guy is trying to trick us! He wanted to trick someone into joining the battle, but he refused to fight."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "Forget it, one of the two formations lost and the other won, it's just a tie! Now that the fighting formation is over, it's time for you and me to fight to the death."
