Seeing his elite being mowed in Zhao Yun's hands, Yan Yan was very heartbroken!

The first is to watch the soldiers die in battle, whether it is a grassroots general or an elite Ji Zao soldier, it is not so easy to supplement, and the second is ...... In the current situation, if there is no elite who can block the offensive of the Chu army, I am afraid that the large troops in the valley are also lambs to be slaughtered.

However, Yan Yan knows better that if he goes up now, he may be able to drag it out a little, but there is more danger of dying directly in battle - Yan Yan will not have a hot brain, he knows very well that the current Zhao Yun is definitely not something he can contend with!

Although his heart hurts, Yan Yan still rationally chose to retreat, and he didn't even give superfluous commands to the elite who were in front.

As a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years, Yan Yan knows very well that the battlefield is definitely not a place where you can do whatever you want......

From training to leading troops, Yan Yan's strengths are focused on the "commandable" aspect to ensure that the army can maintain a certain morale and military spirit in the face of adversity.

The effect of "refusing to fight" is derived from the core of his own art of war that Yan Yan has comprehended.

However, even so, all Yan Yan could do was to slow down in morale when defending, and it was impossible to really command the army "as he wanted".

Not to mention the fact that even the soldiers of the Himezo are affected by all sides, making war very different from video games - you can't just give orders and see the effect!

Now the elite of Jiangzhou can still rely on their momentum and usual training to forcibly rush up to resist, but as soon as the order to retreat comes out, it will definitely be the end of the birds and beasts, and not only will the elite not be able to keep it, but the losses of the large army will be even more heavy.

Therefore, Yan Yan chose the most rational way......

Mainly for the army in the middle and rear, the order was to withdraw from the ravine as soon as possible, and set up a position on the other side to give full play to the numerical advantage, and if the Chu army dared to chase out of the ravine, it would attack head-on.

In the end, when Zhao Yun's "gentian" state subsided, the elite of the Jiangzhou army had already begun to collapse because of more than half of the surrounding friendly forces—the reason why up to half of the battle losses began to collapse was that in addition to the inherent advantages of the soldiers under Yan Yan's command in terms of toughness, it was also because the terrain of Yingou Mountain was really not suitable for rout!

If it is in the flat wilderness, thirty and a half percent will basically collapse, and in the era of cold weapons, this is already considered "very tenacious".

The only possibility to block the "hard bones", under Zhao Yun's mowing grass, was slaughtered by the elite of the Chu army around him with the wind, and then the Chu army was naturally invincible in Yingou Mountain......

The Jiangzhou army rushed for a day, and the Chu army also made a feint to attack Linjiang City during the day, and then without stopping, bypassing Linjiang City and catching up with the tail of the Jiangzhou army, and now it collided with the Jiangzhou army that wanted to support Linjiang......

In fact, both sides are no longer at their peak in terms of physical strength, but at this time, it can also reflect the importance of individual soldier quality!

At the peak, if the Chu army could fight two at a time, after both sides had first carried heavy loads and trained for dozens of miles, the Chu army could fight five or even ten of them - if the enemy army was a miscellaneous soldier who lacked training, then there was no need to fight, because the other party couldn't finish running at all!

In addition, there is an absolute advantage in night vision, under the leadership of the three Jinyu generals, the five regiments of the Wancheng First Division, nearly 7,000 people, killed the 40,000 Jiangzhou troops like a bamboo.

The narrow terrain of Yingou Mountain made it possible for the two sides to engage in a wave battle, and the first division of Wancheng ...... It's definitely the turtle school qigong in the wave this time!

Drove the enemy out of Gutter Mountain all the way......

Of the 40,000 Jiangzhou troops, there were less than 20,000 of them in the end.

Of course, the other 20,000 did not all die in the ravine, and when the casualties were counted after the war, the first division of Wancheng destroyed a total of more than 8,000 enemies this time, half of which were grassroots generals, and ninety and a half were Ji Zao soldiers.

The typical downwind lawn mowing casualty ratio - you must know that the ratio of generals in the Jiangzhou Army has reached at least eight to one, but the casualties are nearly twenty to one.

The casualty ratio of normal generals, even if it will be lower than the proportion of generals allocated in the whole army, is not so low, and the current situation is that a large number of grassroots generals have collapsed and fled, and they do not care about commanding Ji Zao's soldiers.

Of course, it may also be because the command is really not moving, after all, there are restrictions of night blindness, and the generals in the army cannot be blamed, but because of this battle, Zhao Yun and others are more and more convinced that the military spirit of the Yizhou army is not strong, but "fat".

Because it was a night battle and this kind of terrain, there were not many prisoners, only more than 300 grassroots generals and more than 700 Jizao soldiers.

Well, the proportion of prisoners is relatively normal, and the proportion of generals is generally larger.

As for the other 10,000 people, most of them escaped by clinging to the mountain walls on both sides - although the mountain is steep here in the gutter, those who are good at climbing can still go up!

It's just that if they all climb in front of the enemy, they will really become stupid roe deer waiting for death, so only the rout army that has not listened to the command and just wants to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible will leave like this.

By the dawn of the day, the first division of Wancheng had penetrated from the east to the west, and outside the west mountain pass, Yan Yan had already set up a formation......

Seeing this, Zhao Yun notified the Wen Ping army around him, and at the same time, the engine sprayed, and he came to the front of the Jiangzhou military formation, which did not affect the floating position.

"Today, I will wait for your life, go back and tell the Marquis of Shu that if the heart of destroying Chu does not die, and the heart of treating the people as enemies does not die, no matter who supports you, my Chu army will smash Huanglong and capture Liu Zhang alive! I have the determination and confidence to crush all oppressors and conspirators! Zhao Yun's voice spread through the loudspeaker of the battle armor in a silent environment.

After speaking, Zhao Yun directly turned around and fell back to the mountain pass, ordering the army to retreat directly - there was no vigilance that should be there when retreating normally, as if he didn't care...... Or I don't believe it at all, Yan Yan still dares to chase!

And that's exactly what happened.

After Yan Yan listened to Zhao Yun's words, his anger surged upwards - who has the heart to destroy Chu? Are you really talking about my father-in-law? If the lord is really so ambitious, I really thank you!

What else is "to regard the people as enemies"? Just because he didn't deal with the Chu State, he "regarded the people as enemies"?

Chu...... Isn't it just the eight policies for the establishment of the country, what's the big deal, our Shu Marquis...... At least...... It didn't get to the point of "treating the people as enemies"!

What is the "support", it is almost directly said that the Marquis of Shu was instructed by the Han family with the intention of "destroying Chu".

Although Yan Yan was depressed and almost wanted to vomit blood, he still did not order the pursuit in the end.

At this time, most of the Jiangzhou troops who withdrew from the ravine had not really encountered the enemy before, but were just confused for a night.

Although he is also physically and mentally exhausted, in terms of physical exertion, it should not be as good as the first division of Wancheng, especially after setting up the array, until the other party kills out, this period of time can be regarded as a disguised rest for a while.

It's just that......

Even so, Yan Yan no longer has confidence, even if the number of his own side is still three times that of the other party, and he has already occupied a favorable terrain!

Although the physical consumption is not as much as the other party, the "mental energy" consumption is much greater, after all, he is the party that has lost miserably, even if he does not encounter the enemy later and seems to be "resting", everyone's hearts are also tense.

In contrast, the Chu army, who fought a night of tailwind harvesting battles, even if he was physically tired, his spirit was high - he was also playing games all night, ranking eight consecutive kneels or ranking ten consecutive wins, which was more tiring?

Yan Yan stared at the back of the retreating Wancheng First Division, and watched for a long time, his fists clenched tightly, but he still endured it.

The adjutant general on the side asked unwillingly, "General...... The brethren are still up to battle, but the enemy is already a tired army, and we ......"

"The morning sun has come out, and it is unfavorable to fight against the light." Yan Yan was silent for a while, and then said to the somewhat dazzling morning sun.

It is true that now the sun is in the east, which is not good for the army to the west of the array.

But...... Yan Yan is still making excuses when he says it now—otherwise, he can't say "we can't", right?

At least Yan Yan won't make such a low-level mistake, even if he doesn't chase it, he has to come up with an objective reason!

"General, then shall we go back to Pingdu County to garrison the villages?" Although the deputy general was a little unwilling, he still did not question Yan Yan.

"No, the terrain in the north of Pingdu is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, we will go directly back to Tongxian County to gather the defeated army, with Zongxian County as the front axis, Jiangzhou as the backing, and the Chu army ...... Unbreakable! Yan Yan tried his best to say "retreat to defense" with more momentum.

Pingdu County is the location of Fengdu County in later generations, theoretically Yan Yan is already in Pingdu County now, and Tongxian County is roughly the location of Chongqing Fuling District in later generations, as for Jiangzhou, it is naturally the main city of Chongqing......

Both counties are located across the Yangtze River and are both mountainous, but on the north bank of Pingdu County, the mountains are gentle.

As for the current "Fuling County" of Ba County, it is in the southeast of Ba County, the location of Pengshui County in the later generations, and the place where the Wujiang River and the Yujiang River diverge.

"The city and the military village of Pingdu ......," the adjutant general asked hesitantly.

"Clear the wall!" Yan Yan said with a ruthless look in his eyes.

However, after that, he was ruthless for a while, and then added: "If the people are unwilling to move away from the summer rice, they can leave some rations, and the clan does not have to force it." ”

Yan Yan is not such a ruthless person after all, and ...... Whether it is Yizhou or Ba County, the stability of the people comes from the non-tossing of Yizhou Mansion, not from being "trained" by warlords to be honest.

Once the persecution is too great, it is afraid that it will backfire, especially those local scholars, who have weak control over them and migrate...... Will people listen to you?

And if you forcibly relocate, you don't know what kind of chaos it will cause!

In the end, Yan Yan still relented and chose to retreat to Tongxian County, which is closer to Jiangzhou and more conducive to defense, and is only a "symbolic" wall for Pingdu County.

Anyway, it will never allow the Chu State to be able to replenish in Pingdu this year, or even ...... Chu really wants to maintain his "personality", I'm afraid he will have to subsidize the people!

At the same time, in Linjiang City, the Jiangzhou Army, which was originally left to hold on, also retreated westward to Danqu and Nanchong after getting the news......
