Although he was three days late, Yan Yan was able to take the main road in an upright manner - even though the official road was not that "big" due to the terrain, it was at least much easier to walk than the mountain road...
Yan Yan thought, most of the Chu troops who came this time were from Jingzhou, and their march on the mountain road was definitely no better than that of the Jiangzhou army. Moreover, the food, grass and water they carried were very limited, so it was impossible for them to plunge into the woods and never come out again!
Taken together, Yan Yan feels that it is not too late for her to act...
However, just a full day after leaving Linjiang, when I had just arrived at the ravine of Yingou Mountain and was preparing to set up camp to rest, I suddenly received a message from a fast horse - the Chu army was attacking Linjiang City again!
"That's unreasonable! These naughty boys only have this kind of evil method!" Yan Yan said angrily after hearing the news.
When Yan Yan left, he took most of the soldiers and horses with him, but he still left tens of thousands of defenders in Linjiang. The only defense was the Chu army.
At this time, he learned that the Chu army was actually hiding in the mountains and was just pretending to have a way out to lure him away. After Yan Yan immediately ordered the army to return!
Although they had been marching at high intensity all day long, and the sky was getting dark, under Yan Yan's authority, the encouragement had an effect, and the army was still quickly mobilized, and the rear army changed direction from the front army...
Yingou Mountain is two mountains with a relatively flat and narrow ravine in the middle. Because it is sandwiched between the two mountains, it is usually overcast, hence its name.
However, since it was a full moon today, it was quite bright, and with the torches carried by the army, they were able to march.
In the middle of the journey, Yan Yan suddenly felt some instinctive vigilance in his heart, and began to move towards the front army with his bodyguards - Yan Yan was originally in the front army, but after changing direction, he was located at the rear.
However, before Yan Yan could return to the front army, the commotion in the front became louder and louder...
Yan Yan's scalp suddenly exploded, and he had no time to move forward. Instead, he started to notify the generals at all levels and comfort his soldiers!
"The number of enemy troops is less than 11 of our troops! Extinguish the torches and stabilize the position!" Shouts rang out in the ravine.
As for the front army, Yan Yan had no hope and just rushed over with the elite around him.
Yes, the Chu army was indeed hiding in the mountains before, but apart from the initial fierce attack on Linjiang, when the sky was getting dark, only two regiments were left to "raise the atmosphere" outside the city, while the main force attacked Yan Yan
The army came over.
Of course, Fazheng had not calculated before that Yan Yan would be blocked in the sewer - in fact, the Chu army just wanted to fight a field battle, a night battle!
In field battles, Yan Yan's combat skills should not be able to exert their original effect, but night battles...are definitely the Chu army's strengths.
The biggest enemy in a night attack is often not the enemy, but night blindness!
Insufficient meat intake will cause acquired night blindness. In dimly lit areas, vision will suddenly decrease...
During the Western Han Dynasty, people in the Han Dynasty did not suffer from large-scale night blindness in their meat intake, so there was a basis for "one Han serving as the five barbarians". However, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the middle and late period, it was difficult for ordinary people to see any meat.
Most ordinary people have night blindness!
In the subsequent history without the White Picture Effect, because the population density was greater, this was basically the case in all dynasties, until productivity increased by leaps and bounds...
This is why, historically, small elite units with a small number of people were dispatched during night attacks.
In the world of Cheng Ji, the manpower of a group with widespread night blindness is extracted, and the Ji Zao soldiers "trained" are basically night blind...
In contrast, the people of the Chu State had a very abundant meat intake. The food and grass for Ji Zao's soldiers were also carefully proportioned. Not only was the proportion of meat very high during training, but animal livers were also specially added to maintain this aspect of nutrition!
The Wancheng 1st Division and the Xinye 1st Division are among the best troops trained in Jingzhou's military base, and they are not even called "night blind" at all.
Yan Yan hurriedly extinguished the torch because he didn't want to be a target - it was a blinding light. He couldn't see the enemy, but the enemy could run towards the torch and shoot at random. How could he fight?
Originally, Yan Yan thought that as long as he extinguished the torches and stabilized his position, he could rely on his numerical advantage to resist the Chu army's sneak attack head-on.
Although the current location is not very good, the long and narrow terrain makes it difficult to convey orders, and it is easy to bomb the camp due to panic, but fortunately the current climate is not suitable for fire attacks, so there is no need to worry about being burned to death in the ravine, and in terms of time, the Chu army
It is impossible to have time to go around the mountains on both sides. There is no condescending ambush...
Is it difficult to deploy the formation when stuck in a ravine?
Then don’t expand it!
Anyway, his side has more people and is better at fighting in the mountains and forests - as for the problem of eyesight, in Yan Yan's mind, he instinctively thinks that this is a weakness shared by both sides, and there is nothing to pay special attention to.
Yan Yan felt in his heart that the reason why the other party dared to attack him was probably because he wanted to "blow up the camp", and he just needed to be calmed down...
In terms of resilience, Yan Yan's army was indeed unique. Although it did not immediately calm down and accept orders as neatly as usual, at least the turmoil gradually calmed down and there was no danger of bombing the camp.
However, the battle that followed left Yan Yan stunned...
Except for the front army that encountered the enemy, the army behind gradually calmed down and understood that it was not that it had been defeated, but that it had encountered a small number of enemy troops in front.
However, the commotion in front is getting louder and louder!
When Yan Yan arrived, he found that the Chu army was charging all the way into the ravine. The battle line was constantly pressing towards him. The two sides seemed to be completely different from each other.
Not only was it the cause of the confusion, but the overall battle showed that the Jiangzhou army fell one after another, while the Chu army continued to advance.
When we were fighting city defense battles before, because of the geographical advantages of city walls or camps, there was no such obvious contrast...
Upon seeing this, Yan Yan quickly took over the command of the surrounding armies from his deputy general. However, he found that because of the darkness, the army could not effectively command at all - it was just an army that did not encounter the enemy behind, and no one had an army.
Being able to be attacked while not being able to see, yet still remain calm!
If you must fight, then you should stay in the camp...
However, Yan Yan is not helpless. After all, he has real elites with him - two thousand Ji Zao soldiers with complete ranks, almost no night blindness, and the latest equipment!
It can be said... except that the equipment is still backward and the training programs are not comprehensive, it has basically reached the standard of an ordinary army of the Wancheng First Division.
At this time, Yan Yan suddenly had the feeling that "misfortune lies on the edge of blessing" - although the narrow terrain of the ravine made it difficult for the party being attacked to transmit messages and increased the risk of bombing the camp, it was precisely because of the narrow terrain that
Can use elite soldiers to block the opponent's weird offensive.
after……
I saw a silver-armored heavenly general, in the posture of a god of war, mowing the grass and going retrograde to the Jiangzhou Army elite - it was Zhao Yun who entered the "Mighty Dragon Dan" state!
Not only is the strength substantially improved compared to when wearing the gold and jade armor, but also... the weakening effect of Ji Zao soldiers on the armor cannot take effect on the divine power state.
If it was the way the generals rushed into the enemy formation in "Legend of Heroes" before, now they are completely in the style of Wushuang mowing grass!
More than two thousand elites? Not enough at all!
He was cut faster than the ordinary soldiers before. Yan Yan was stunned and had already cut off half of his body...
Zhao Yun also chose a good time, and there happened to be thousands of elites gathered together in no military formation, blocking him in front of him, waiting to be cut...
I am afraid it will be difficult for the generals to encounter such a "tempting" scene!
