Chen Zhi led his troops and surrounded the yoghourt. Chen Zhi looked up and saw that at the dangerous point where the two mountains confronted each other, there was a magnificent pass. This pass was abnormally steep and was easy to guard against.
Chen Zhi naturally knew that he could not force his way through this stage, and shouted loudly, "Chen Deng! My army is here, why aren't you falling! " Chen Deng stood on the roof and shouted loudly towards Chen Zhi: "Hmph! My lord has appointed me to guard this pass, and I will not let you cross this lake of lightning! I, Chen Deng, am here! Chen Deng had died, this was a loss! Thief, you don't have to say anymore! "
After Chen Deng finished speaking, he closed the door to defend himself, showing that he was weak and did not want to fight. He restricted the soldiers from speaking loudly, as he wanted to confuse the number of people in Chen Zhi's yoghourt. Chen Zhi led his troops to attack the pass, but this pass was extremely steep, if he tried to force the pass, it would only result in the loss of people, so Chen Zhi could only give up and look for another method.
Chen Deng watched the situation of the Chen Zhi Army from the top of the city. Seeing that the soldiers were slightly relaxed, he knew that they could attack Chen Zhi's troops, so he ordered the three armies to fill up for a while. They waited until nightfall, when Chen Deng personally led the army to open the gate. First, they clashed with Chen Zhi's camp with the infantry, and then they quickly besieged Chen Zhi. With a drumstick in his hand, Deng used all his strength to beat the drum to boost his morale. The troops of the Chen Zhi Tribe could not defend against the enemy and were forced to flee. Chen Deng took advantage of the victory to pursue and killed countless of people!
Chen Zhi was surrounded by Chen Deng's troops, and the one who took the lead was Tao Qian's elite Dan Yang Army. Si Ma Zhang, one of the middle officers under Tao Qian's command shouted at Chen Zhi, "Thief! You have already been surrounded by my army, why haven't you descended yet!" Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "I really didn't expect that I, Chen Zhi, would die here in the first place! Sigh! Sigh! We've failed in our mission! "
Just as Chen Zhi was sad that he was unable to escape, a troop of cavalrymen suddenly flew over from the distance. One of the generals charged straight at Chen Zhi, breaking apart the waves of the crowd. Master Zhang looked at the general and shouted, "Who are you! Quickly state your name! I, Master Zhang, will die under my blade! " That would be even less talkative, only continuing to sprint forward!
Master Zhang could no longer hold it in, he slapped his horse down, and swung his sword towards the general! When Master Zhang neared the general, the general roared loudly with widened eyes like a god, "Thief! How dare you block my, Zhang Yan's, path! " Zhang Zhi was shocked, the blade in his hand slipped and landed on the ground, Zhang Yan flew past him and chopped his head off! The speed of the blade was so fast that one could not see it clearly! Too fast! It was too fast! As expected of Zhang Yan who was known as Fei Yan! It wasn't wrong at all for Master Zhang to die!
Zhang Yan stood not far from Chen Zhi and called out to him: "General Chen! Please follow me and kill my way out! " Chen Zhi couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yan. He now had a chance to escape! He shouted to his men: "Brothers! We will follow General Zhang Yan and get out! "
Dan Yang never would have thought that he would meet such a strong opponent — the Zhang Yan Black Mountain Army that was famous for its bravery! Adding on the fact that General Zhang Wang had died under Zhang Yan's hands, his morale was in complete chaos, so naturally Zhang Yan and Chen Zhi had to stand up for him.
After arriving at a safe zone, Chen Zhi shook his head and sighed: "The five thousand over people I led were reduced to three thousand. I lost over a thousand troops! Attacking yoghourt seemed to be impossible! Sigh! How am I supposed to explain this to the Lord? How could he explain it to his lord! "Sigh!"
Zhang Yan said to Chen Zhi, "General Chen, you don't need to worry! Victory and defeat are common matters, and the Lord will not blame you! And please don't worry, General, justice and justice have come here with their men! That's why this lowly general led five hundred cavalrymen to come first! Now we can even set up a group to surround the yoghourt to prevent the enemy from escaping, and wait until Master arrives! " Chen Zhi: "This …"
Just as the two were discussing, a waiting riding ran over. He jumped off his horse and said: "General Chen Zhi, General Zhang Yan! My lord is almost here! But when the Lord sent Tao Qian to send Cao Bao to the yoghourt to assist Chen Deng, he ordered the little one to come here and inform the two generals to quickly annihilate the enemy! The enemy will not be able to predict that you will attack them! Please be quick, if you are slow, Cao Bao will lead this group of people into the yoghourt.
Chen Zhi laughed and said: "Alright! Zhang Yan! Gather troops and annihilate Cao Bao! " Zhang Yan cupped his hands: "Yes! "General!" waiting riding cupped his hands towards the two of them and said: "Generals, this subordinate will return to report to the lord! Your subordinate will take his leave! " waiting riding said as he left on his horse.
When Zhang Yan and the others arrived, it was already night, the night sky was like ink as it flooded the entire land.
Zhang Yan saw a human dragon with a long torch in hand crawling around the twisted mountains, Zhang Yan asked Chen Zhi: "General Chen, could this be Cao Bao's men?" Chen Zhi nodded, and said: "It should be so! Zhang Yan, send orders to attack! " Zhang Yan nodded, "Mn!"
So, Chen Zhi and Zhang Yan led the troops and fought with the troops that were in front of them. While the two armies were fighting, the other side shouted loudly: "May I ask if you guys are from Fan Li's army? Are they Fan Li Army's? " Chen Zhi felt it was strange. He used a torch to look at the other party's flag, which seemed to be his own army's flag. Stop! Stop fighting! "Stop fighting!"
When the troops from both sides stopped, Chen Zhi shouted loudly: "I am Fan Li from Fan Li Army! Which unit are you from? " One of the people galloped his horse to Chen Zhi's side and shouted: "General Chen! General Chen! " Chen Zhi used a torch to light up the approaching person. That person was wearing a towel and was wearing a scholarly robe, that's right! It was him!
Chen Zhi already knew who was coming! Chen Zhi said: "Cheng Zheng Zhong Hong!" Chen Zheng replied, "It's me! It's me! General Chen Zhi, why did you attack our army? " Chen Zhi replied: "Just now, a waiting riding came here to report, and our lord ordered us to intercept Cao Bao! Aiya! I understand! I've been tricked by Chen Deng again! Damn it! I'm curious, how did that waiting riding find us so quickly! Sigh! It's all my fault for not thinking it through! "Sigh!"
A battle drum sounded out! Tao Qian Army immediately appeared! Tao Qian's army roared from the east and west as they attacked the terrified Fan Li's army!
Zhang Yan panicked: "The enemy is ambushing us from all sides! What should I do? " Chen Zhi had even caught Chen Deng's trick, causing him to panic. This was the first time he was leading a group of soldiers, and he wasn't willing to let the first time he led a group of soldiers to wipe out all of his subordinates! He was responsible for the lives of his subordinates! This is the responsibility of the leader!
He quickly took over the command from Chen Zhi and said to the messenger: "Quickly get Pei Yuanshao to lead his troops to stop the enemies that are coming from the west! The enemies attacked from the east will be fought by me and the General Chen together! As for General Zhang Yan, please circle around the mountains to the east and go behind the enemies to attack them! As long as we defeat the enemies in the east, we can turn around and deal with the enemies in the west! I have two hundred riders in my division, and I'll make them keep up with you! Time is of the essence, General Zhang, please take action quickly! "
His heart was beating fast after he had given the order, and he wondered why he had given it. It was as if he had given such an order out of the blue, and now that the situation had come to this point, he could only brace himself and continue!
Zhang Yan ordered him to wave his flag, he shouted: "Follow me!" He galloped away with his horse and his cavalry! The messenger had already gone to deliver the order.
Chen Zhi was still suspicious about this: "This, is this alright?" Although Shang Zheng was very worried, he could not reply in such a manner, "General Chen, please be at ease! I think Tao Qian's reinforcements haven't arrived yet to support Chen Deng, which means Chen Deng's troops are here to attack us! According to my previous reliable information, there are less than three thousand guards in yoghourt, and now that they have split up to attack us, and even split up to guard us, I think Chen Deng will not be able to use a lot of power! General Chen Zhi, you still have more than three thousand people, and I have three thousand too. There are more than Chen Deng's army, and our soldiers' fighting capabilities are much stronger than his army's. As long as our soldiers stabilize, we can definitely turn the tides and annihilate Chen Deng's army, then seize the yoghourt! "
When he finished talking, he felt weird. These thoughts had suddenly appeared in his mind, so he naturally told them to him! He had not expected himself to behave so differently in such a difficult situation. Perhaps it was the predicament that could often trigger a person's potential!
Chen Zhi was still worried. "But how do we stabilize the military heart?" He pretended to be confident and replied: "General Chen, don't worry! Our army is different from other armies! Our soldiers are strictly trained! Furthermore, it was chosen by the lord to be a strong man who obeyed orders! It can be said that it's very easy for them to stabilize themselves! " In fact, he was still very worried! After all, this was his first time leading troops into a battle, and the battlefield was ever-changing.
"Report ~ ~!" People on both sides of our army are running away! " waiting riding came to report. He was just about to say: "Quickly go and spread my command: 'Whoever steps back, those behind them can be killed on the spot!" And hang their heads on the flagpole for me! to warn those who dare to run away! "
Just as he finished his sentence, he felt surprised as well. How could he give such an order? One had to know that if this order was given, many people would die! A lot! However, the words had come out of his mouth and could no longer be changed! He couldn't help but frown in shock.
Chen Zhi stared at the scene in amazement. He could not believe that a weak scholar had suddenly become so terrifying! He was a man who had the talent to become a general at all costs for the sake of victory! But Zhi saw the look of fear on Zheng Zheng's face and knew that his heart was uneasy. Wisdom thought to himself: "I must not lose to a bookworm who is leading troops for the first time! Never! I also want to pull myself together and command this battle! "I want to prove that I am still the number one general in our army!
Guan Yinping was also staring intently at the scene. This was the first time she saw someone being so serious. She never expected this bookworm to be so bold!
He was shouting loudly, "Generalissimo's flag, fly high in the air for me! It's flying at a height that every soldier in our army can see! Tell them their commander-in-chief hasn't run away yet! Still fighting with them for victory! "Fight!" General Flag naturally did as he was told.
Jumping onto the chariot, he picked up the drumstick and began to beat the drum as hard as he could! After only beating the drum for a while, his hands felt numb and tired. He knew that as a scholar, he didn't have the strength to play the drum. Liu Ba seemed to have appeared in front of him. Liu Ba was looking at him with a smile and saying, "Zi Hong, what's wrong? What you did tonight was right! That's right! Hurry up and hit the drum! If you two are to lose this battle, then there will be a lot of deaths, and if you two want to attack the yoghourt in the future, there will be even more deaths! For this, your order to kill the retreating soldiers was not wrong! That's right! He had used the sacrifice of a small number of people to exchange for the survival of a large number of people! Zi Hong, you should continue on with your work! Keep it up! "Don't hesitate!"
All of a sudden, the doubt in his heart was dispelled and he understood what was going on. He exhaled on his hands, then continued hammering the drums, his desire for victory reflected in his eyes. Chen Zhi came to his side and said: "Zi Hong, let me help you beat the drum for you!" Just as he was saying, "We can't stop this war drum! We can't stop! " Chen Zhi nodded his head.
"Dong Dong!" It went on, on, on, on. When the soldiers of the Establishment heard the drum sound, they also fought with all their might. The soldiers of both armies were fighting with their lives on the line …
In the end, the victor or loser was decided by the next round.
… … ….

[Note 1]: In the Han Dynasty, there was a stage called [yoghourt]. The former location of the latter was currently the cities of Fuxiang and Longzhou, as well as the Shangjin district. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the latter was assigned to Zhongtan and other counties, and it was cancelled as a separate county. The yoghourt later changed its name to Chicken Tomb Pass and Border Fortress. When the Ming Dynasty was happy, it changed its name from Ming Cheng Zu to Zhennan Guan. When you are enlightened and righteous, it is also known as the Great Southern Mountain Pass. In 1953 it was changed to the Southern Pass of Mu-Nan, and in January 1965 it was changed to the Friendship Pass. It is one of the nine great barriers in China. The most famous battle in Zhennan Pass was a victory over the French cabinet that had collapsed under the command of one of the most famous generals in Guangxi. Feng Ziqian's strategy for this battle was to rely on Guangxi troops and local snakes to fight in mountainous areas. He chose the terrain of the dangerous pass in front of the mountain as his battlefield, dredging deep trenches, long walls, and building solid bases. He was equipped with a strong support force and formed a more complete multi-layered mountainous defensive position.
