Four hundred and seventieth chapters refusal to fight
In the late spring of the third year of Chu Li, the state of Chu sent troops to attack Yizhou due to the excitement of the people.
Deploying two divisions of troops, they crossed the Eight Hundred Miles Canyon in half a month (bragging), broke Kuimen in one day, and captured five cities in seven days...
Before the Jiangzhou garrison could react, they captured Yufu and Quren counties. Although they failed to obtain supplies from the Quren County treasury, at least the two counties did not have a stronghold to clear the country, and there was not even a fierce battle.
, the impact on agricultural production will be very small, and this year’s harvest can be expected.
However, Yan Yan had already reacted and led his troops to Linjiang County. In the Linjiang City area, he blocked the offensive of the Wancheng Division!
Although Linjiang is Gan's hometown, Yan Yan's prestige in Ba County has long been established.
However, due to the entanglement with the interests of the Bajun nobles, Yan Yan was unable to completely clean up the Bajun officialdom, resulting in the inability to control the local area. However, the garrison in Jiangzhou was completely controlled by Yan Yan!
It's roughly equivalent to...the Six Meridians Divine Sword only connecting one meridian?
Although the garrison in Jiangzhou, under the control of Yan Yan, was far less well-paid than the Chu army, at least it was well-paid and trained twice a year.
Compared with other princes, the Jiangzhou Army does not lack training or pay, but it is far inferior in actual combat experience. After all, the last actual combat was seven or eight years ago, when the rebellions in Bajun were repeated...
Up to now, the proportion of veterans is already very low - every year when Ji Zao soldiers replenish manpower, it will also cause "dilution" in training, actual combat, etc.!
In addition, in terms of ordnance and equipment, Yizhou's horizontal comparison was relatively good three years ago. At least the Han army's standard equipment before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Yizhou's army was "nominally" complete.
For Yan Yan, naturally he would not enrich himself. The defenders of Bajun were really fully equipped, with long and short weapons, chest protectors, and crossbows and arrows. It was just because Yizhou Prefecture was too reluctant to allocate money.
, so it looks a bit older.
However, in recent years, because Chu State seems to have cheated, the forged armor is not only amazingly strong, but also formidable in speed, and it also trades with other princes. Therefore, the elites, ordnance and equipment level of the princes are higher than before.
A big improvement!
It's just that the Marquis of Shu made an exception and "blacklisted" Chu State. Naturally, he didn't trade too many armaments. Now the equipment of Yizhou County...
If compared to the equipment of the front-line army, its value may not be lower, but its actual strength has lagged behind other princes. Compared with Chu State, it is far behind!
but……
I couldn't resist Yan Yan's "powerful and heavy" move...
There are 14 counties in Ba County, with a population of one million - very little affected by the war!
With a little tighter control, we can maintain a strength of 70,000 to 80,000 troops, most of which are concentrated in Jiangzhou.
At this time, although Yan Yanxian brought only a former soldier, he instantly made Linjiang City richer with tens of thousands of people.
They also divided their troops and set up camps on the mountains, forests and rivers outside the city, echoing the main city of Linjiang. When the former army led by Wenpin arrived, Yan Yan was already ready.
Wenpin knew that in Bajun, the opponent's reinforcements must be more than this, and they would only fight more and more in the future. Therefore, even though he only had two vanguard regiments under his command, he still launched the attack!
The primary target was the Maoershan Camp outside Linjiang City - Wenpin also knew that he had few soldiers and if he went directly to the city, he would definitely be attacked from multiple sides...
However, in the face of Wenpin's call, the Maoershan camp held a no-war sign and did not accept the call.
Of course, the no-war card is mostly just for comfort. No princes recognize it, and Chu State never recognizes the no-war card. If it is just a force attack, after all, the defenders have fortifications and have more advantages.
Because the march was not easy before, the Chu State did not have an engineering team to accompany them, so they could only wait for follow-up support and could not use the secret of "hand-made catapults".
Not long after the battle between the two armies, Linjiang Cheng sent troops to kill Wenpin and attacked Wenpin's flank. It was Yan Yan who personally led it. Yan Yan also knew that the Chu army must be blocked when the forward vs. forward, so he personally
Come with the front army.
"Don't be so arrogant as a traitor, Yan Yan is here!" Yan Yan, the veteran general, was also impatient and killed himself directly.
Yan Yan was doing well in Yizhou Prefecture, and he was proficient in military tactics and martial arts... slightly affected by his age, but not ordinary.
The most important thing is that in these troubled times, the military talisman has been promoted to "gold and jade".
Wenpin saw the opportunity and rushed forward to welcome him!
"Old man! How can a person who helps a tiger have the face to see others?" Wenpin scolded directly.
It doesn't matter whether he is really scheming for the tiger, but Wenpin must always remember that the reason for Chu's sending troops this time is "self-defense". To be precise... it is predictive self-defense!
Although the Chu army's military regulations also include the item "soft words", but that is for the common people. They usually yell and curse in front of the formation, but there are not many rules. It all depends on personal quality.
And Wenpin... is definitely of higher quality. Compared with Gan Ning, this is really just a small talk. If it were Gan Ning, when he saw that he was older, his first thought was that it would be best to get angry to death.
opposite.
Yan Yan saw Wenpin taking the initiative to scold him, and looked at his golden and jade armor, and then looked at... On the other side of the military formation, there was another golden and jade general. While trembling his eyebrows slightly, he asked: "Who are you?
?Yan only beheaded the thief!"
In fact, Yan Yan wanted to scold her - why are there two golden generals in a team of only 2,000 people?
There are only five Jinyu in the entire Yizhou Prefecture, and except for him and Zhang Ren, the other three were only promoted in the past two or three years.
Although I had watched the "live broadcast" of the founding of the Chu State before, Yan Yan still felt depressed when he really felt the density of this gold and jade.
The other Jin Yu is none other than Zhao Yun’s deputy Chen Dao!
Wenpin is the deputy division commander, but he is directly under the Third Regiment. Chen Dao leads the Second Regiment - and his title is brigade commander, but now there is actually no brigade level. At most, the brigade is when operating together with other regiments.
The chief has the highest command authority.
"Wen Pin, deputy commander of the First Division in Wancheng! I miss you because you are old and weak. Now that you have surrendered and removed your armor, you can enjoy your old age. Don't wait until you are bound to death. It will be too late to regret!" Wen Pin specially aroused hatred.
Yan Yan saw that Jin Yu, another enemy soldier, was indeed still storming the camp and leading the charge. Then he gritted his teeth and fought with Wen Pin, who was guarding the flank...
Wenpin also didn't expect that Yan Yan, who was dressed in green armor and holding a two-handed sword, looked reckless, but actually had a harassing style of play.
They usually follow the opponent for a few moves, and then move around in a roundabout way - because of the armor, the warrior has a huge space to move around during the battle!
In fact, Yan Yan couldn't help it...
After all, he is already old, and unlike Huang Zhong, he has reached a state of transcendence, and the "Shooting Sun Technique" he practices not only strengthens the liver and gallbladder, but also helps to lock in essence and consolidate Qi. Although he is old, he is "all in one"
liver"!
Yan Yan can no longer afford his liver. In recent years, his physical strength has been declining. In battle, Qi is becoming more and more important. It would be okay if he bullies Gold and Jade. In the battle of Jin and Jade, Yan Yan's physical strength is very hindered.
However, due to Yan Yan's conscious adjustments, the armor manual has also been updated. After long-term practice, he has evolved the ability to accelerate Qi recovery.
The effect is to accelerate the recovery of infuriating energy after stopping active attacks...
However, after trying several times, Yan Yan already understood that the young man in front of him was not an opponent that he could defeat, not to mention... there was another Jin Yu who was eyeing him, so he led the reinforcements back to the camp and began to occupy the camp.
And keep.
The quality of Chu's individual soldiers and Chu's sword and armor all crushed the Yizhou army. However, with a small number of attacks and a large number of enemies, it was also difficult to achieve results when the opponent was already prepared. Wen Pin could not do anything, so he had to wait and see.
Ming Jin withdraws the troops.
For three consecutive days, no matter how Wenpin moved around and changed his targets in a mysterious way, it had little effect on Yan Yan's defense.
As expected of a veteran, I have no intention of being fooled!
Finally, on the fourth day, reinforcements from both sides entered the scene...
Originally, because the main force of the Bajun garrison arrived early in the morning, Yan Yan hesitated whether to take the initiative to attack.
However, scouts soon came to report that the opponent's Chinese army was already approaching... and then they gave up.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Zhao Yun had also led four regiments to come to support.
There are still more defenders than attackers!
Originally, Zhao Yun and Wenpin thought that they could use "calling formation" to slowly reduce the opponent's morale - defending for a long time without attacking will lead to a decrease in morale, especially when the defending side has many people.
However, Yan Yan's army... not only the army he directly led, but the entire Linjiang County battlefield and the Jiangzhou army brought by Yan Yan seemed to have a sense of "getting stronger with age".
Even after several battles, Zhao Yun clearly felt that the physical recovery of the troops defending the city was much higher than their previous performance.
That's right, it's Yan Yan's special combat skill-refuse to fight!
Not only can it speed up your recovery, but because Yan Yan has integrated its principles into the art of war during his long-term practice, he has awakened the effect of legion combat skills.
It can make it extremely difficult for the defenders under your command to lose morale and collapse when they are on the defensive, and at the same time, their physical recovery speed is increased.
Among the golden and jade generals, there are only a few who can awaken the legion's combat skills. One is Sun Ce, the other is Huang Zhong... They have all transcended now!
Yan Yan is worthy of being a veteran general and a veteran general of Bashu. He has actually understood the art of war to this extent.
It's a pity that Yan Yan is old, and unlike Huang Zhong, who has a bad temper all over his body, his martial arts skills are just that, I'm afraid there is no chance of transcendence.
The effect of "Resistance to War" is also very comprehensive.
Mental morale is not reduced, and the physical recovery of individual soldiers is accelerated - the overall situation can be seen as improving resilience.
The only disadvantage is that it is completely ineffective during offense or normal field combat!
However, after the "resilience" was compensated by Yan Yan's legionary combat skills, even if the Chu army had an advantage individually, it would not be able to gain any advantage when the number was still less than that of the defenders.
We had to wait for Fazheng from behind to arrive, while letting Gan Mao go lobby the Gan family...
