Different from the brave charge of Cai Yang and others, Chen Zhi's army has always been calm, defending instead of attacking, always destroying the enemy's living force when the enemy attacks, and when the enemy finds out that this is a difficult bone to gnaw, he suddenly finds that his teeth have collapsed and are scattered all over the ground. The 1,500 pikemen under Chen Zhi's command began to be formed many years ago, and it was also Chen Zhi's first army, and he did not participate in the battle against Dong, but during that time in Hanzhong, Chen Zhi never relaxed his training. It can be said that Gao Shun, who is a teacher of Chen Zhi, has a good saying: strict in discipline and diligent in practice. Chen Zhi learned very well, after learning that Zhang Lu's reinforcements were coming from the northeast, Chen Zhi did not panic, and he would not say that he rushed to kill in a hurry, in Chen Zhi's eyes, as long as his army went forward one mile and was in the northeast of Caiyang, then even if it was only dozens of steps away, the reinforcements would not want to see Zhang Lu.

Two thousand, Chen Zhi, who was slowly advancing, got the latest news, at this time Chen Zhi's army was already two miles away from Caiyang, and when he looked back, he could barely see the vague figure on the other side being mixed up, and the deafening killing sound was endless. Chen Zhi shouted: "Stop." Immediately, there was a signal from the flag soldiers, and the 1,500 army stopped in an instant, as neat as one, Chen Zhi smiled, a little satisfied. Burst into shouts again: "Guard." ”

"Huha" 1,500 people move in unison, all of them take a step forward with their left legs, their hands hold their guns and point obliquely ahead, the whole person bows their horses and looks straight ahead, the tip of the gun is forward, and the tail of the gun is on the ground, such a posture can even face the cavalry, although the final outcome is the same end. The long tip of the spear of the strong soldier will pass the cavalry straight through the body regardless of the men and horses, because the tail of the gun hits the ground, the ground can withstand the strong impact of the cavalry, and the cavalry can pierce the cavalry with the horse, but in the same way, the strong impact force and huge body of the cavalry will directly press the soldier with the spear and be stoned to death. But as long as the soldiers in the three or four rows in front of the gun array are not afraid of death and exchange their names for the destruction of the cavalry, then the dead cavalry and the corpses of the horses in front will immediately become an obstacle to the cavalry behind, and as long as the speed of the horses slows down, the cavalry is not as good as the infantry, and it can only be the target of the spearmen.

Chen arrived at the army, Zhang Wei did not take long, appeared in a blink of an eye, Zhang Wei was also taken aback after getting the news of Zhang Lu, and hurriedly waved the army to come, but when he saw that he was about to meet Zhang Lu, he saw a large army lined up to stop him. Zhang Wei rode at the front, and at a glance, Chen Zhi's army was 1,500, which was only 500 fewer than himself. Zhang Wei thought to himself that even if he won the enemy in front of him, how much would he have left, and Zhang Wei always felt that the soldiers and horses in front of him were not simple, and when he saw his two thousand troops coming to him, none of them had the slightest abnormality, and they all had blue faces, and they couldn't see anger.

The two armies were separated by one hundred and twenty paces, Zhang Wei stopped, Zhang Wei himself slapped his horse and stepped forward a little, shouting at the front: "Who is on the other side, Zhang Wei and Zhang Shouyi, the captain of a certain Naiba County, why is the general blocking the way of our army." Chen Zhi pulled the reins, and the war horse took a few steps: "A certain Han lieutenant Lieutenant Chen Shuzhi, the general is a person who understands, why not descend early?" ”

Zhang Wei was furious and shouted: "Piff can dare to fight with a certain person for a hundred rounds, if he loses, quickly make way for a certain one." "Zhang Wei is smart, Chen Zhi has an army of 1,500 people, and he only has 2,000 people, even if he wins, it will take time and a lot of casualties. Chen Zhi said with a smile: "How can the major affairs of the military be decided by the courage of the horseman, gossip is not to say, the general wants to go over, and he must fight the past, otherwise he should persuade the general to go back." ”

Zhang Wei saw that Chen was not fooled, scolded secretly, returned to the horse and waved the army to attack, the two thousand army was divided into four parts, three of them attacked immediately in the front, the left, the middle and the right attacked respectively, and one protected Zhang Wei behind. When Chen Zhi saw Zhang Wei attacking, he shouted: "The giant shield in the front row." Six rows of six hundred people in the front had their left hands removed from their backs and held them above their heads in a half-squatting position.

"Bow and arrow in the back row, ready." The remaining 900 men lined up in nine, quickly slammed their spears into a tree on the ground, drew their iron bows and arrows, and stood by. I saw that Zhang Wei who was advancing was also shouting bows and arrows to prepare, one hundred steps, fifty steps, the closer and closer distances pulled the nerves of everyone in the two armies tightly, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, and the soldiers listened attentively, for fear of missing the general's order, which was a major matter that would cost their lives. Forty steps is the best attack distance for a bow and arrow, Zhang Wei steadied, forty-five steps, Chen Zhi said: "Release the arrow." I remembered it, but it was earlier than Zhang Wei. The arrows flew out of the sky, as cheerful as the birds out of the cage, and the dense arrows were like clouds in the air, and the shadows cast on the ground were like ants with wings, and they went straight to the hearts of the enemy.

It wasn't until it got dark that Zhang Wei shouted: "Release the arrows." "When the soldier looked up, there were flying arrows, and many of them fell before they could release their bows and arrows. Two waves of arrows roared and staggered over the head of Zhang Wei's army, and when the arrow rain came to the top of Chen Zhi's army, it once again brushed against another wave of arrows shot by Chen Zhi's army. Dense arrows flew in, crackling and smashing on the round shield, Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses after seven rows did not raise their shields, and some of the pruning branches that shot far away put down Chen Zhi's men and horses. A scream began to sound, compared to the sparse fall to the ground in Chen Zhi's army, Zhang Wei's army had 300 people killed by arrows. Zhang Wei's army only had time to release two rounds, and was about to draw his knife to prepare for a short encounter, but Chen Zhi kept shouting, and the rear army kept shooting arrows, only allowing the first six rows of pikemen to temporarily resist. The attack of the arrows was terrifying and effective, and the arrows in the back greatly helped the spearmen in the front row, and after six rounds, Chen Zhicai shouted: "Crack." Seeing that the soldiers behind him quickly raised their guns, the soldiers in the front row instantly gave way to Zhang Wei's soldiers and rushed into their own military formation, and the two armies began to be entangled.

As soon as the army came into contact, Zhang Wei knew that his feeling was right, this enemy army was quite extraordinary, tacit cooperation, superb killing. Zhang Wei threw in an army of 1,500 at one time to attack, and now in the blink of an eye, he was either killed by an arrow or died under the cold iron spear, and there were very few enemy soldiers who fell to the ground.

The cronies around him looked at Zhang Wei nervously, not daring to speak, Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, no, he couldn't press the last part of the soldiers and horses so quickly, and he was waiting. Zhang Wei saw that although Chen Zhi had few soldiers, he left 200 people as the rear, and he had more soldiers and horses to attack first.

There were still amazing screams more than a mile away, Zhang Wei knew that this was a big battle between Zhang Lu and the enemy, and he didn't know what was going on, but the battle in front of Zhang Wei was not necessarily easier than Zhang Lu's, it was also very fierce. Then Zhang Wei heard a huge cheer, and his heart was suddenly so nervous, he didn't know whether Zhang Lu won or lost, such cheers would only be there when the battle was divided. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wei saw a few fast horses running over to Chen Zhi in the distance, and reported something to Chen Zhi, so he saw Chen Zhi shouting a few times around him, and then the entire battlefield was the voice of Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses: "Our army has won, kill." ”

Zhang Wei was startled, his eyes were closed, and the pain in his heart was abnormal, Zhang Wei was a calm person, at least for now. Chen Zhi's performance made Zhang Wei sure that Zhang Lu had lost the battle over there, and Chen Zhi was not easy to match in front of him, Zhang Wei wanted to retreat, he was unwilling to make such a senseless sacrifice for Liu Yan, he was not Zhang Lu. Zhang Wei said weakly: "Let's withdraw." So Zhang Wei's headquarters did not move, and the army entangled with Chen Zhi retreated one after another, and the army of spears chased after him. Chen Zhi took a look at the rear of the army, saw that Zhang Wei's headquarters did not move, and let Zhang Wei's army retreat from his side. Chen Zhi's purpose this time was to block and prevent Zhang Wei from going to the rescue, so Chen Zhi hurriedly ordered the whole army to return to the defense and stop the pursuit. Zhang Wei over there saw Chen Zhi's army move and knew that Chen Zhi was a wise person, so the two of them distanced themselves from the new general troops, and once again distanced themselves by one hundred and twenty steps.

Zhang Wei was concerned about Zhang Lu's safety and shouted: "General Chen, is a certain brother dead or alive?" Chen to: "General, I only know that our army has won a big victory, and the rest don't know anything, if I go back and see the general's brother, I will ensure that the general's brother is in danger." Zhang Wei heard the worry in his heart, and arched his hand to Chen Zhiyi: "Thank you so much, general, there will be a period later." With that, he turned his horse and left, and the army drove away in unison, leaving hundreds of corpses behind.

Chen Zhi quietly watched Zhang Wei walk away, feeling a little lonely in his heart, for some reason, suddenly a few fast horses came running again, as if there was an emergency. The cavalry ran over and couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that the battle was over here, and Chen Zhi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The scout hurriedly came back to his senses and remembered the task: "Three generals, a group of cavalry rushed from the west, General Cai is still cleaning up the battlefield, the lord has already taken the guards to resist the cavalry, about eight hundred, the lord ordered the three generals to be sure to repel -" The scout looked at the corpses on the ground again, but Zhang Wei's army was far away, and the scout's voice became smaller and smaller. But Chen Zhi already knew that Da Gai was Chen Lin's reinforcements who asked Chen Zhi to block Zhang Wei, and Chen Lin himself took the guards to temporarily block the cavalry, so that Cai Yang could clean up the battlefield and prepare for war from scratch. If the cavalry is allowed to rush over like this, Cai Yang's army will look good.

Chen Zhi remembered that Chen Lin only had 500 guards, and couldn't help but be anxious, fortunately his side fought fast, or Zhang Wei ran fast. Chen Zhi hurriedly shouted: "The whole army turns." "Order the cavalry scouts to point out the direction of the enemy cavalry. Cavalry, Chen Zhi shouted in his heart, where did the cavalry come from, in addition to the five thousand Qingqiang borrowed by Liu Yan in Shuzhong, where is there still cavalry. Liu Yan, Qingqiang? Chen Zhi was shocked, and designated that it was this Qingqiang cavalry, only eight hundred, fortunately, if five thousand came, Chen Lin Chen could only flee quickly, but only eight hundred, it was not good to say that he would destroy this cavalry, even if the price was greater. Chen Zhi knew that he was afraid that Chen Lin would think the same way, so he personally led troops to stop him, and Chen Zhi hurriedly waved his army forward.

Chen Lin was almost attacked by this cavalry, fortunately, fortunately, no one knew where the scout who reported the news was, except for Chen Lin.
