Chapter 476: Night Battle

Although it was three days late, Yan Yan could walk the avenue in a dignified manner - even if it was restricted by the terrain, the official road was not much "big", but at least it was much easier to walk than the mountain road......

Yan Yan pondered, most of the Chu troops who came this time were from Jingzhou, and the march on the mountain road was definitely not as good as the Jiangzhou army, and the grain, grass and water they carried were very limited, so it was impossible to get into the forest and never come out again!

On the whole, Yan Yan felt that it was not too late for him to act......

However, just a day after leaving Linjiang, when he had just come to the ravine of Yingou Mountain, and was about to camp and rest, he suddenly received a message from a fast horse - the Chu army re-attacked Linjiang City!

"How can this be true? These slippery children, only this kind of trick! Yan Yan said angrily when he heard 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, and it was the Chu army that was guarded.

At this time, after learning that the Chu army was really hiding in the mountains, just pretending to have a way and leading him away, Yan Yan immediately ordered to return to the army!

Although it was just a day, they were marching at high intensity, and the sky was getting dark, but under Yan Yan's prestige, the encouragement had an effect, and the army was still quickly mobilized, and the rear army changed to the direction of the former army......

Yingou Mountain is two mountains, and there is a relatively flat and narrow ravine in the middle, because it is sandwiched by two mountains, it is usually cloudy and swishing, hence the name.

However, today is a full moon, but it is still bright, and with the torches carried by the army, it is also able to march.

In the middle of the line, Yan Yan suddenly had some instinctive vigilance in his heart, and began to move in the direction of the front army with his personal guards - Yan Yan was originally in the front army, but after turning the direction, he was in the back position.

However, before Yan Yan could return to the front army, the front side of the riot grew stronger......

Yan Yan's scalp exploded suddenly, and he didn't have time to hurry forward anymore, but began to notify the generals at all levels on the spot to appease the soldiers under his command!

"The number of enemy troops is less than our army eleven! Extinguish the torch and hold your foot! A cry of shouting rang out in the ravine.

As for the front army, Yan Yan didn't count on it, but just rushed over with the elites around him.

That's right, the Chu army was indeed hiding in the mountains before, but in addition to the initial onslaught on Linjiang, when the sky was getting dark, only two regiments were left, "setting off the atmosphere" outside the city, and the main force greeted Yan Yan's army.

Of course, Fa Zheng didn't calculate it before, and he just happened to block Yan Yan here in the gutter - in fact, the Chu army just wanted to fight a field battle and a night battle!

In the field, Yan Yan's combat skills should not be able to exert the original effect, and the night battle ...... It is definitely the strength of the Chu army.

The biggest enemy of a night attack is often not the enemy army, but - night blindness!

Insufficient meat intake can lead to night blindness, which can lead to a sudden loss of vision in dim light......

In the Western Han Dynasty, the meat intake of the people of the Han Dynasty did not have large-scale night blindness, so there was the basis of "one Han and five Hu", but in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the middle and late periods, ordinary people had no meat and fish, and most of the ordinary people had night blindness!

In the history that followed, there was no white map effect, because the population density was higher, and this was basically the case in all dynasties until after the productivity increased by leaps and bounds......

This is also why, in history, when night raids were carried out, they were all small elite troops with not many people.

In the city Ji world, the manpower of a wide range of people with night blindness is extracted, and the Ji soldiers who are "trained" are basically night blindness......

In contrast, the meat intake of the people of Chu is very abundant, and the grain and grass of the Ji soldiers are also specially considered for proportion, not only the proportion of meat during training is extremely high, but also animal liver is specially added to maintain this nutrition!

Wancheng No. 1 Division and Xinye No. 1 Division, as the source of Jingzhou soldiers, are among the best elites, and there is no such thing as "night blindness" at all.

Yan Yan hurriedly wanted to extinguish the torch, also because he didn't want to be a target - the black light blinded the fire, his own side could not see the enemy, but the enemy army could shoot at the torch, how could this be fought?

Originally, Yan Yan thought that as long as he extinguished the torches and stabilized his position, he could rely on the numerical advantage to resist the sneak attack of the Chu army head-on.

Although the current location is not very good, the long and narrow terrain is not easy to give orders, and it is easy to bomb the camp because of panic, but fortunately, the current climate is not suitable for fire attack, and there is no need to worry about being burned to death in the ravine by a fire, and in terms of time, it is impossible for the Chu army to have time to go around the mountains on both sides, and there is no condescending ambush......

Stuck in a ravine and not easy to unfold a formation?

Then don't expand!

Anyway, there are more people on his side, and they are better at mountain and forest warfare - as for the problem of eyesight, in Yan Yan's heart, he instinctively thinks that this is a weakness that both sides have, 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 should be the possibility of wanting to "bomb the camp", as long as he was appeased......

In terms of resilience, Yan Yan's army did have something unique, although it did not immediately and completely calm down and accept the command as usual, but at least the riots gradually calmed down, and there was no danger of bombing the camp.

However, the next battle situation made Yan Yan dumbfounded......

In addition to the front army that encountered the enemy, the army behind gradually calmed down, understanding that their side was not defeated, but that they had encountered a small number of enemy troops in front.

However, the commotion in front of me is getting louder and louder!

When Yan Yan arrived, he found that the Chu army was fighting all the way into the ravine, and the battle line was constantly pressing towards him, and the two sides seemed to be completely out of the same level.

It is not only the reason for the chaos, but the overall engagement seems to be that the Jiangzhou army is falling one by one, while the Chu army is constantly advancing.

In the past, when fighting the battle to defend the city, because of the geographical advantage of the city wall or the camp, there was no such obvious comparison......

Seeing this, Yan Yan hurriedly took over the command of the surrounding armies from the hands of the adjutant general, but found that because of the darkness, the army could not be effectively commanded at all - it was just an army that did not encounter the enemy in the back, no one had any army, and it could be attacked while not being seen, but it could still remain calm!

If you have to bar, then you should be trapped in the camp......

However, Yan Yan is not helpless, after all, there are real elites around him - two thousand Ji Zao soldiers, complete captains, almost no night blindness, and the equipment is also the latest!

It can be said that ...... In addition to the fact that the equipment is still backward and the training program is not comprehensive, it has basically reached the standard of the ordinary army of the first division of Wancheng.

At this time, Yan Yan suddenly had a feeling of "misfortune and blessing" - although the narrow terrain of the ravine made it difficult for the party that was attacked to pass on the news, increasing the danger of bombing the camp, but it was precisely because of the narrow terrain that he was able to block the other party's strange offensive with elite soldiers.

Afterwards......

I saw a silver-armored general, in the posture of a god of war, in the elite of the Jiangzhou army that began to mow the grass and go against the tide - it was Zhao Yun who entered the state of "Shenwei Gentian"!

Not only is the strength more substantial than when wearing the golden jade battle armor, but it is also ...... The weakening effect of the Himezo soldier on the armor also does not take effect on the Kamui state.

If it was still the appearance of the "Legend of the Heroes" generals rushing into the enemy formation, now it is completely the painting style of Musou mowing the grass!

More than 2,000 elites? It's simply not enough to see!

was cut faster than the previous ordinary soldiers, and Yan Yan was stunned by his kung fu, and he had already cut half of the ......

Zhao Yun also chose a good time, and there happened to be thousands of elites, who gathered together without a military formation, blocking in front of him and waiting to cut ......

I'm afraid it's hard for the gods to encounter such a "tempting" scene!
