What's the fairy tale about the battle of Zhuolu?

According to legend, the battle of Zhuolu was a large-scale war in ancient China, in which Huangdi, the great master, and Yandi, the emperor of Shennong, joined hands to fight against Jiuli, the Chiyou nationality.

About four or five thousand years ago, during the patriarchal society in China, the Chiyou Jiuli nationality, which rose in the border area of Hebei, Shandong and Henan, belonged to Dongyi Group, and its power continued to develop from east to west. The Jiuli nationality originally lived in the south, then went north to the Central Plains, and clashed with the tribe headed by the Yellow Emperor. These two armies joined forces at the junction of Henan, Hebei and Shandong today, and fought a long-term war for areas suitable for grazing, hunting and shallow farming on the Zhuolu battlefield. The Yellow Emperor first annexed the tribes in Yan Di, and then captured and killed Chiyou.

Chiyou led his 72 clans against each other. Because Chiyou had excellent weapons and equipment, the Yellow Emperor was on the defensive at the beginning of the battle. The Huangdi clan, headed by a clan with bears, wolves and leopards as totems, has won many battles.

The Yellow Emperor asked Ying Long to store water to resist Chiyou. Chiyou invited the rain teacher from Fengbo. It was dark, and lightning broke through the water array in Ying Long. At a critical juncture, the Yellow Emperor called the goddess Nu Wa to clear up. Chiyou and Huangdi fought each other on the battlefield. Chiyou used dense fog to make the Yellow Emperor's army lose its way. Huangdi invented the compass to tell the direction and successfully rushed out of the dense fog blockade. After several battles in succession, the Yellow Emperor finally captured and killed Chiyou in the middle of Hebei, and won a great victory, becoming the * * * Lord of the tribes in the Central Plains.
