Amidst the sound of trumpets, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses rushed towards the Jinling army's stronghold in overwhelming numbers.
According to Zhuge Liang's instructions, the terrain around the camp has long been rearranged, including the soldiers and horses in the camp. Now, according to Zhuge Liang's arrangement, they are distributed in the woods inside the camp and outside the camp, and in eight formations.
According to the law, the marching troops should be arranged and each should be properly arranged.
Seeing the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou Army charging towards them like an overwhelming mountain, the pottery merchant on the high platform in the camp couldn't help but show a trace of worry on his face.
Zhuge Liang suddenly looked at the pottery merchant with a confident expression on his face.
"Teacher, don't worry, the students are not afraid of Pang Tong coming to attack, they are afraid that he will not attack!"
Just before the Jingzhou Southern Army rushed to the gate of the Jinling Army, they saw Jinling Army soldiers suddenly rushing out from the mountains and forests on both sides of the camp. Under the command of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, they rushed towards the Jingzhou Southern Army.
The Jinling troops who were ambushing on both sides of the camp rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Pang Tong is a dog thief. He is arrogant by nature. He is nicknamed Fengxiao. He is really like a pheasant. If he dares to fight, he will be defeated!"
Immediately afterwards, another soldier continued loudly: "Defeat is imminent, defeat is imminent, defeat is imminent!"
At the same time, in the middle of the camp, Xu Sheng led his troops and horses and rushed out from the main camp.
The soldiers and horses ambushed in various directions seemed to be ambushes, but in fact they occupied eight directions according to Kong Ming's arrangement, and used a link-by-link method to kill the Jingzhou Army.
In the main camp, there is also a trebuchet set up by the Jinling Army.
After the Jingzhou Army came into view, the trebuchets from the trebuchets overwhelmingly hit the Jingzhou Army.
However, the Jinling Army's defense was assisted by trebuchets, and this matter had long been in Pang Tong's calculations.
Xing Daorong, who came from Lingling, led a suicide squad and quickly advanced towards the Jinling Army's camp, intending to extend the front line forward, so that the war zone could be brought into the range that the trebuchets could not throw.
The Jingzhou army screamed crazily, and under the leadership of Fu Tong, Xing Daorong, Huo Jun and other Jingzhou generals, they quickly moved forward.
For a moment, there was a rain of flying arrows and the roar of artillery stones. However, under Pang Tong's command, the Jingzhou Army quickly pushed the battle line into a place where the Jinling Army's flying stones could not bombard it. Moreover, the soldiers of the two sides were entangled. It was difficult to
Separating each other, cannons and stones will not be of any use.
But Pang Tong thought he had a plan, but in fact his actions were also calculated by Zhuge Liang.
If you want the Eight Formation Diagram to be fully effective, you must make the other party belong to your own camp. In this way, the direction and adjustment of the three armies' formations can be within your control.
However, although the Jinling Army was well-arranged, there was a drawback, that is, nearly half of their combat strength was unable to participate in the battle due to the miasma. Moreover, the miasma had just passed, and the fighting spirit of ordinary soldiers was not very high.
High, the fighting spirit is not strong, this is the current shortcoming of the Jinling Army.
Fortunately, the Jinling Army has many good generals.
Including the two powerful generals Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, there were also many generals including Jiang Qin, Ling Cao, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Pan Zhang, Song Qian, Jia Hua, etc. accompanying the army.
Under the leadership of these fierce generals, and relying on the effectiveness of the Eight-Array Army Formation, the Jinling Army firmly blocked Pang Tong's troops from the Dazhai, and even vaguely gained some advantages.
Not far away, Pang Tong was quietly observing the situation of the Jinling Army, thoughts racing through his mind.
"Okay, what an eight-formation method. It is completely different from the ancient eight-formation method, but it does not violate its principles. It must have been modified by the masters of the Tao Shang Army... Well, last time in Qufu City
In the battle formation with Zhuge Liang, the formations deployed by the Jinling Army at that time seemed to have some similarities with this formation... It seems that Zhuge Liang is also here this time."
Liu Panzong immediately stepped forward and said to Pang Tong: "The Jinling Army is tightly defended. It is not an option to continue like this. We must quickly find a way to break the enemy's defensive posture."
Pang Tong waved his hand towards Liu Pan and said: "General Liu, please be patient. Although this formation is exquisite, it cannot follow the common sense of the ordinary eight formations. At most, it cannot be out of the sky-covering formation, the earth-carrying formation, and the wind.
Formation, Yunchui Formation and several other situations..."
Liu Pan was anxious: "Situ, at this time, don't worry about these things anymore. If there is no delay, you have to find a way quickly."
Pang Tong secretly thought that Liu Pan really had no patience at all.
He immediately ordered: "You follow the method I taught you and tell General Zhang Fei, and you will join him, Liu Du, Jin Xuan, Han Xuan and others to attack the Jinling Army from the direction of Death Gate!"
"promise!"
…
Sure enough, not long after, the Jingzhou Army began to follow Pang Tong's instructions and launched an attack on the Jinling Army.
The Jinling Army was already extremely powerful. Under Zhuge Liang's design, there was no problem in relying on the Eighth Formation to defend the enemy. However, Pang Tong was also an expert in this area and could see the shortcomings of the Jinling Army's formation.
Immediately, he asked several powerful generals to charge at the Death Gate in the Jinling Army Formation.
As a result, over time, the Jinling Army's defensive posture shrank somewhat, especially the east-west posture, which was a little out of shape.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly summoned his scouts to inquire about the news from the front line. As the scouts reported, Zhuge Liang's brows became more and more frowned.
When I was young, I saw him sighing and saying, "Teacher, some things don't seem to be easy to handle."
"whats the matter?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Pang Tong seems to have seen where our army's formation and death gate are, so he sent strong generals to lead his troops to Tuzhi."
The potter suddenly said "Oh" and asked, "Didn't you make any preparations in advance?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Actually, the students have made preparations, but the opponent's combat power seems to be beyond our imagination... Mainly Zhang Fei, where he is responsible for the charge, no one can stop him."
"Zhang Fei..." The pottery merchant frowned, then turned to call a scout: "Come here Zhuo Ma Zhong!"
When he was young, he saw Ma Zhong riding his horse in front of the pottery merchant.
"The Prime Minister called me?"
"Ma Zhong, you go to the front line immediately and bring my message to Gan Ning and Zhou Tai. You and them quickly go to stop Zhang Fei. Now they are the only ones who can stop Zhang Fei, and you are here
Coordinate secretly and help them win... No matter what method is used, you can do it, understand?"
Ma Zhong was a very smart and insidious person. He knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, so he naturally understood what the potter meant.
"promise!"
…
At the same time, at the death gate of the Eight Formation Diagram, Zhang Fei marched forward without hesitation and led his troops to attack. His power was so powerful that ordinary people could not stop him at all. The eight-foot-long snake spear opened and closed like a thunderous thunder, which made people tremble and retreat.
If Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others from the Jinling Army were here, they would never make Zhang Fei so rampant, but now these people are not here.
But there was one person who was not afraid of Zhang Fei and faced the difficulties.
