(If you look at the map, it says that area 5 belongs to shu starting points. Now, Heading through the east area 6 would lead to the north and northwest. The bridge on the northwest leads to the border line bwteen Shu and Lu bu starting points. So, I think tha we are fine by crossing this bridge and arriving in the rear of your troops.)
the troops look like
************* Zhao Yun, Ma chao ***** ************* *********** XXXXxxxxxxxXXXXXXXX ***** ********* XXXxxxxxXXXXXXxxxXXXXXXX ********** *********XXXXXxxxxxXXXXXX ******** ***************** XXXXxxxXXXXXXXXxxx*********
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[river]
XXXXXX Lu bu and SUn jia´s troops xxxxxx Pang de troops
(Lu bu, Sn Jian and Pang de´s troops are all mixed from the view point of the north. though they can be distinguished, they are all fighting. Lu Bu take a good loke at this and post your thoughts on this, cause Im getting confiused on where are we actually fighting, I think is the area 5...Shus starting point.)

((I can see what you are thinking as the starting Square goes over to the north western bridge, but from previous posts it gave the impression you were behind shu's western line trying to break through to get to where you are now, that line of troops has not been broken. but as the map is a bit mis-leading I will play nice and say you can attack from there, this time ))

*Lu Bu stopped dueling and was now fighting back with his forces, he had withdrawn from the duel as he was getting bored, as he returned his forces were fired back up, a full out charge was now in order, Sun Jian's troops needed to watch out for Shu and Liang while Lu Bu took out Pang De, only then did they stand any chance of winning this battle*

The day had showed his pinushments upon the armies brought out to battle. The clouds looked down upon the battered soldiers as jury of the judgement that would soon be cast on any of them. Death creeped round and round throughout the battlefield, as if he was playing and dreaming on his back yard. The soldiers, some had their heads held high, others ,simply had their heads. To Zhao yun, Lu bu was a lost man, yet, now he had been found.
There were strong senses of might,prowess, loyalty and most of all honor. It was a no mistaken thought that the enemy would fight with their mights, and that they would try to survive the ordeal bestowed upon all present. The north was filled with the fresh warriors of Shu and Liang, the south had become the battlefield choosen by most to become their deathbeds or their saviors. Still, the enemy maintained their positions. Lu bu had come out and Sun jian was present though yet unseen. He was still to be identified among the ranks.
The sun was laying dowm his punishment upon those who sought greatness and victory. The clouds were the jury to what the final judgement would have as a verdict. The warriors were only pawns used by heaven to show man that they indeed ruled supreme. But today, heaven would not have it their way, for warriors would be the ones to make their own verdicts and to show heaven that they wielded the power to change their destiny.
Some hours had past and the clouds were moving as if they didnt want to be present. Soldiers could be seen moving back and forth through the ally ranks, preparing to battle. The sun was still striving to break the essence of the clouds and thus, hold the spirits of all the warriors within his rays. The young commander of Shu, General Zhao yun, was mounted high in his steed, overlooking at Lu bu, who had already shown his position and his formation. It was obvious, that the mighty lord was ready to do battle. This thoughts didnt even showed any breaks within Yun´s composture. His troops began to ready up, taking formation and preparing their weapons. The forces of Lu bu were not so far away. They had a dense forest to the flanks, with just the enough space to do battle. Lu bu had a flaw withing his formation, perphaps a terrible one. Still only prowess could prove victor in this task.
Now with the soldiers ready, their ardors and weapons ready to thrust,their wills and determination,striving to engage the enemy and their dicipline and loyalty to guide them, Victory could be achived. Zhao yun began to gallope foward, his spear was in his right hand. The grip was strong and controled, he was neither desprate nor overconfident. The general stopped his steed by giving him a light pull towards him, the reins were pushed back and the horse lifted his head vertacly giving a small "pruufff". Zhao looked at his men and raised his left hand, stopping at the level of his forehead, the fist closed with the strength of hunting tiger, grasping his prey. The soldiers looked at their commander, their glares and eys were bright, their spirits appeared high. Yun, then slashed his left hand, opening his fist about half way down the slash, saying.
"Men of Shu, we have one of the mightest generals in strength that this land has possibly ever witnessed. That same general has been filled with arrogance and thus has attacked Wei. It is not a matter of revenge nor hate, Its a matter of duty and loyalty to Shu, who lended their hand on the sign of trouble. We musnt bend before the enemy, we must show them our might for we can be stronger then them and with loyalty and determination on our side, victory can be achived."The general then raised his spear, the spear was placed horiontally over his head. The soldiers looked at yun and made a roar so mighty that, the trees trembled with the sound waves that flooded the battlefield. Moments later,the army began their march,closing in on Lu bu.
The men were marching bold and weapons grabbed for the undetermined action. Lu bu´s troops were standing firm, their ground was hard, their spirits were somewhat damped. They had fought the army of Pang de while their leader took off, Now he had returned and had them in formation. They looked brave, awating their enemy´s response. The Shu army was getting closer and closer, the distance between the armies was short. Yun was in front leading his troops, behind were the Liangs, commanded by Ma Chao.
Sun Jian´s troops were spotted in the field, yet, they were formless and their leader had not even taken position. This would not dissuade no a single striving soul in the Shu ranks. Yun began to transform as he got closer. His face was changing from calm to decisive and his spirit was high as heaven. Now only a few feets away stood Lu bu and his men, Sun jians troops were fighting Pang de, Wu pikemen versus Liang troops. Yun was now in his definitive move. He raised up his spear, giving a few spins aroung himself and his steed. The steed was great, it looked deeply at the figures infront afar from him, it appeared more calm then many of the soldiers present.
The troops halted their march as the hand of Yun stopped spinining his spear, and rose, opened with the fingers all strait pointing to the heavens. The heavy footsteps had seised and the horsemen had come to a ease. The armies were now waiting for the call, it came soon. Yun thrusted his left hand to the left and then followed to the right, the archers came running from nowhere, taking their positions quickly and standing with bows ready to fire. The left and right flanks were now positioned by the bowmen. Yun was in the middle giving the orders as they were planned.
The troops were now unsettled, swordsmen grasped their weapons ready to strike, spearmen and pikemen were noe anxious ready to charge. and horsemen were desirering the time for battle. Their wishes were granted. Yun rose his spear placing it just half way up his body, the edge of the blade was pointing towards lu bu and his men. The bowmen,unleashed chaos. Arrows flew swiftly accross the sky, breaking the quiet and peacefull silence. The had been unleashed with such strength that the leaves near by were being raised from the ground. Lu bu had his men in a very tight formation, his men wouldnt have time to spreadout to evade the arrows, his mistake lied right by his own strategy, and thus became his grave fault.
The men under Lu bu didnt panicked still they were staggered by the attack, its swiftness and precision, brought the soldiers hit,hard to the ground. Pounding their bodies back to the earth, it appeared as if heaven had rainned down arrows of judgement upon lu bu and his men, and now they were being hit with the strength of meteors. The rest of the Shu soldiers were waiting for the next order. Minute after the first volley, another came, this time with the will and determination of the coalition troops engraved itself it such arrows. Yun didnt hesitate and gave the order for the charge. The ground began to shake, rocks were jumping to the sounds and the trembles were highly noticeable by all.
The troops came running with the might of tigers, it appeared that their spirits had taken a wild transformation. The swords in hand and ready to thrust, the swordsmen engaged the center of lu bu´s formation, the archers had weakened this section from the volleys, and the formation was broken. It was a perfect moment to attack. As the swordsmen engaged the center, the spearmen and pikemen came running from the sides, and they all thrusted their weapons into the enemy´s flesh, it opened with such ease. Yet the attack continued, The crossbowmen had come running from the far left and right behind the spearmen and pikemen, the arrowss were aimed for the calvary units. The spears and pikes had been positioned pointing foward. Many of the pikemen charged and on first contact with some of the calvary units of the sides, bended their knees slightly and pulled their weapons up,lowering the rear end of the weapon, maintaining their gravity in the center of their bodies. It gave them a great balance. Many of the riders were brought down to the ground.
The horsemen awaited the first attack by the swordsmen, where after the first line of swordsmen broke formation and made space to let the horsemen through. The horsemen were in a considerable distance,it gave them the perfect opportunity to gain speed in their charge and thus gaining strength.
The horsemen rode through the opened holes with the formations for the charge, while they kept their momemtum, the swordsmen were holding their ground firmly while the enemy was charged. The horsemen´s charge had gone madly through the holes created, they pierced through the enemy with such strength that, soldiers literatly flew to their sides. The goal of the horsemen were the archers, they would be their final destination, from which they would later turn around and pierce through again to reach the Shu formation line.
The archers under lu bu had very little time and space to manuever, same happened to the center troops, they had calvary to their sides, the horses of the calvary were in a state of panic. It was a point where the horses just wanted to run, still some where detained by their riders. This only helped to worsen the situation, The center ranks had only two options suitable for them, one was to retreat, another was to defend. Retreat would not be easy, their own troops were in the way. The swordsmen now had let the horsemen charge through Lu bu´s formation,after piercing the center and rear ranks. The horsemen then pierced through again,back to the Shu formation lines. The swordsmen closed their formations after the return of the horsemen, while the crossbowmen were unleashing their short distanced volleys upon the calvary. The spearmen and pikemen held the flanks at bay with their walls.
Yun was watching all of this just behind his troops. His faced looked please, their attack had been made, a good tactic had been developed. With hopes that it would deal great damage to Lu bu and his men.

((wow long post well done Zhao Yun, keep it up ) ((I will RP better next week I have alot of interuptuions the next few days so my posts will be rubbish)) *Lu Bu didn't realise that Zhao Yun was to attack him, while he was killing off Pang De's units he turned to look, then he could see his forces being flanked and slaughtered by Zhao Yun's troops, for that moment Lu Bu was speachless, for once he was kind of afraid of the outcome, he had been so dominatant in his attacks, but now there could be a better leader than even him, he soon pulled himself together then a mad expression came upon his face. His halberd turned quickly and he faced his flank, he re-mounted Red Hare and charged at the enemy, it was all or nothing now, the only way for him to get out of this alive would be for him to annilate the enemy forces.**As he got closer a man was stood upon his steed, he looked somewhat impressive, his spear firm in his right hand, he dismounted once more, killing people around him from Zhao Yun's forces he walked up the the general*Lu Bu - "Hmupf, nice move, but you forget, you are up against me!"*Several of Zhao Yun's troops were attacking and getting close to Lu Bu a few kicks and slashes delt with them, after the deaths Lu Bu jumped in the air in anger and went to slash down Zhao Yun's steed, if he was successful, the saddle would fall off and Zhao Yun would fall or would land hard, there was always the possiblity of a block though Lu Bu never thought of that*

The young general stoof firm in his steed, while the gona mad general Lu bu dashed strait for him. A move noticeable from the moment red hare was mounted. Yun was graspping his spear hard and ready, the move performed by Lu bu was a quick one, and to that, the fact that some of the Shu men fell by the halberd of the mad general.
As the dashing Lu bu jumped high above and slashed down ferociously upon Yun´s steed, the spear of the young general rose. The speed appearantly matched that of Lu bu and with that a flying Zhao jumped from his steed and contacted with Lu bu. The halberd was having the gravity on its side as well as the strength of the mighty general. Still, Yun pulled the spear strait foward, the halberd of Lu bu landed with enough strength. As the halberd lands on the spear that had thrust dioganaly, Yun lets his left hand glide down the spear and then opens his palm,pushing the spear to the right.
The spear moves inches away towards the the west,now being in a horizontal position. This helped divert the strength of Lu bu´s attack towards the left. After a second of deadlock, Yun pushed back towards his rear right, landing a few feet of Bu now ready for what would come next. His spear now was graspped with more control and a new determination rose in his thoughts,it was the defeat of Lu bu. Yet, before he let free and few words at the mighty general, as a sign of his captivation and respect.
"General Lu bu, you are indeed a mighty warrior,perphaps the strongest in the land. That attack could not have been pulled off by a mere soldier, but instead by a great warrior. It appears that you desire a duel with me. General It would be a pleasure, yet, your troops have been in my opinion need guidence at this time, or would you rather have them slaugthered by Shu. It would be a shame to kill them."A thought rose to Yun, yet it troubled him great cause it would surely be put down. Either way the general said it.
"General, you appear to be in some straits. General It would a pleasure to have a general such as you join Shu. Would you consider it"
Yun expected a reaction,his spear was ready for anything, though he stance was calm, his feet were slightly moving taking position in case of the enevitable.
((Lu bu sorry for the turn down on the duel but I cant right now. And sorry for the crappy post. Ill be sure to best myself later on.))

*Lu Bu seemed suprised at the block and the reply Zhao Yun gave, for a moment he stood on the ground speachless in a moment of thought, his mind was wondering whether too, but then he remembered his dream, his face looked back up at Zhao Yun and he spoke*
Lu Bu - "Shu will not give me my dream!"
*He looks around and sees his forces being slaughtered, he knew a another general would fo thought about his men, but Lu bu didn't, he began to think about what he had done, deep down knowing he couldn't really get out of this mess, he then turned around and began walking off, somewhat thoughtful about his actions, once again troops came to attack him, this time all he did was block the attacks and carry on, he got back to the frontlines and got hi flank to turn to face the enemy, half of the frontline joined to help the flank and they would would make another stand to repel the enemy*

The words ringed upon Yun´s ears. It as no surprise, he was expecting a reply such as that from the general. A sign of grief filled his face for the time that Lu bu headed back. Thoughts rose abroad his mind,meanwhile Yun headed to mount his steed. As he raises his left foot to hook it in the saddle, he takes a long look at Lu bu. Once again thinking.
"General, your might is great, I would like to find what dream is that, that you appear to seek with such will. Perphaps is the same one we all warriors look for. Death or perphaps perfection, either way, you appear to search it with great pride. Shame that you neglected to join Shu, I would have been honored to fight along side a warrior such as yourself."He mounts his steed,his spear was now placed dioganaly on his back. Grabbing a hold of the reins to help himslef mount, he bends his elbow nearly 85 degrees to grab his spear. The returns to the position where he has the spear laid to rest on his right arm, to the right side of his steed.
Now Lu bu was to be attacked again, a new attack would take place. Yun was showing gestures of dissapoinment and sorrow. He would have to fight once more all those troops, he wanted to for he had a duty to Shu. But deep down he wanted to sweep them off in one decisive attack. With that persuading the general Lu bu to seize this senseless attack on Wei. The young general was looking forward, he could see Lu bu take some of his remaining men to make a last stand. Yun´s troops were still resting punishment upon the battered and beaten enemy troops. Yun could only look while his troops slaugthered the enemy.

*Lu Bu ordered his men to stay defensive, a volly of arrows were to be sent over onto Zhao Yun's forces, and a hard line of Pikemen to keep Yun's Military units at Bay, Lu Bu's confidense grew increasingly higher once again, his hard armour and Giant Halberd was a frightening sight for anyone specially as he was upfront and waiting for the enemy, one last stan would determine Lu Bu's fate, he thought he would never die and still does, but the thought of being captured is something he cannot allow to happen easily*
