Chapter 474: Refusal to Fight
In the late spring of the third year of the Chu calendar, the state of Chu sent troops to attack Yizhou under the excitement of the masses.
Two divisions were dispatched to cross the 800-mile gorge in half a month (bragging), breaking through Kuimen in one day and capturing five cities in seven days......
Before the Jiangzhou garrison reacted, they held the two counties of Yufu and Quren in their hands, although they failed to obtain the supplies from the treasury of the county of Quren, but at least the two counties did not have a strong wall and clear the wilderness, and there was not even too fierce fighting, the impact on agricultural production was very small, and this year's harvest was expected.
However, Yan Yan had already reacted at this time, and led the army to Linjiang County, and in the area of Linjiang City, he intercepted the offensive of the first division of Wancheng!
Although Linjiang is the hometown of the Gan family, Yan Yan's prestige in Ba County has already been established.
It's just that due to the entanglement of interests with the Bajun scholars, Yan Yan can't completely purge the Bajun officials, resulting in the inability to command the locality, but the garrison in Jiangzhou is completely controlled by Yan Yan!
It's about the same as ...... The six-vein divine sword only has one vein?
The garrison of Jiangzhou, under the control of Yan Yan, although it is far from the treatment of the Chu army, at least there is no shortage of food and salary, and it is practiced twice a year.
Compared with other princes, the Jiangzhou army does not lack training or salary, but it is much worse in actual combat experience, after all, the last time it was fought was seven or eight years ago, when Ba County rebelled and pacified repeatedly......
Up to now, the proportion of veterans has been very low - every year when Ji Zao soldiers replenish manpower, it will also cause "dilution" to training, actual combat, etc.!
In addition, in terms of ordnance and equipment, Yizhou was relatively good three years ago, at least the Han army before the Yellow Turban Rebellion was standard, and Yizhou's army was all complete "in name".
And for Yan Yan, naturally he will not fill his pockets, the defenders of Ba County are really fully equipped, with long and short weapons, chest armor, bows and crossbows and arrows, but because the Yizhou Mansion is too unhappy to allocate money, it looks old.
However, in recent years, because the state of Chu seems to be open, the forged armor is not only amazingly strong, but also intimidating, and it is also traded with other princes, so the elite and ordnance and equipment level of the princes of all parties have improved a lot compared to before!
It's just that the Marquis of Shu made an exception to "black" the Chu State, so naturally he didn't trade too much armaments, and now the equipment of Yizhou County is ......
If it is compared with the equipment of the first-line army, the value may not be low, but the actual strength has lagged behind the other princes, and compared with the Chu State, it is a big step behind!
But......
can't stand Yan Yan's move to "sink strongly"......
Fourteen counties in Ba County, with a population of one million – very little affected by the war!
If it is a little tighter, it will be able to maintain a force of seventy or eighty thousand, most of which are concentrated in Jiangzhou.
At this time, although Yan Yan brought it first, although it was only a former army, it also instantly made Linjiang City rich by 10,000 people.
He also divided his troops to camp on the side of the mountains and forests outside the city, echoing each other with the city of Linjiang, and when the former army led by Wen Ping arrived, Yan Yan was ready.
Wen Ping knew that in Ba County, the other party's reinforcements must be more than that, and they would only fight more and more, so even if he was under his command, only the two regiments that served as the vanguard were there, but they still launched an attack!
The primary target was to choose the Mao'er Mountain camp outside Linjiang City - Wen Ping also knew that he had few soldiers, and if he went directly to the city, he would definitely be attacked from all sides......
However, in the face of the call of the civil recruitment, the Maoershan camp hung up the exemption card and did not accept the recruitment.
Of course, the war-free card or something, most of it is just a comforting meaning, no one recognizes the princes, and the Chu State has never recognized the war-free card, but if it is a strong attack, after all, the defenders have fortifications, which is more advantageous.
Because it was not easy to march before, there was no engineering team on the Chu side, so they could only wait for follow-up support, and they could not use the mystery of "hand rubbing catapults".
Not long after the two armies fought, Lin Jiangcheng sent troops to kill him and hit Wen Ping's flank, which was led by Yan Yan himself - Yan Yan also knew that he had to jam the Chu army when the forward vs the striker, so he personally led the front army to come.
"The chaotic man and thief are arrogant, Yan Yan is here!" The veteran Yan Yan was also in a hurry, so he killed him directly.
Yan Yan is quite good in Yizhou Mansion, and he is skilled in the art of war and martial arts...... Slightly affected by age, but not generally.
The most important thing is that in this troubled era, the soldier has been promoted to "Golden Jade".
Wen Ping saw that he couldn't miss the opportunity, and hurriedly greeted him!
"Old horseman! Those who act for the tiger also have the face to meet people? Wen Ping scolded directly.
It doesn't matter if it's really for the tiger, it's just that Wen Ping must always remember that the reason for Chu to send troops this time is "self-defense", to be precise...... It's predictive self-defense!
Although there is also an item of "gentle words" in the military regulations of the Chu army, it is for the people, who scold in front of the battle, but there are not many rules, it all depends on personal quality.
And the clerk ...... It is definitely a relatively high quality, compared with Gan Ning, this is really a small mouth to smear honey, replaced by Gan Ning, seeing that the other party is old, the first thought is that it is best to be angry with the other side directly.
Yan Yan saw that Wen Ping took the initiative to scold, looked at his gold and jade battle armor, and then looked at ...... On the other side of the military formation, there was another Jinyu general, who trembled slightly and asked, "Who are you?" Yan only beheads the thief! ”
In fact, Yan Yan wanted to scold his mother in his heart - why are there two Jinyu generals in a team of only 2,000 people?
There are only five Jin Yu in the entire Yizhou Mansion, and except for him and Zhang Ren, the other three have only been promoted in the last two or three years.
Although I also watched the "live broadcast" of Chu Guoguo before, it ...... Truly feeling the density of this gold and jade still makes Yan Yan depressed.
The other Jin Yu is not someone else, it is Zhao Yun's deputy Chen Dao!
Wen Ping is the deputy division commander, but he is directly under the third regiment, Chen Zhi leads the second regiment - and the title is brigade commander, but now there is actually no brigade level, at most, when acting with other regiments, the brigade commander has the supreme command.
"The deputy commander of the first division of Wancheng is hired! Thinking of your old and weak, now you can take off your armor and surrender, especially to take care of your days, don't wait for the time when you are bound to die, it is too late to regret! Wen Ping specially pulled up hatred.
Yan Yan saw that Jin Yu, another enemy soldier, was indeed still storming the camp and leading the team to charge, so he gritted his teeth and fought with Wen Ping, who was guarding the flank......
Wen Ping also didn't expect that Yan Yan, who was dressed in green armor and holding a two-handed big knife, looked reckless, was still a harassing style of play.
It is often a few moves with the opponent, and then it takes a detour - because of the armor, the warrior has a lot of room to move around when fighting!
In fact, Yan Yan can't help it......
After all, he is already old, and unlike Huang Zhong, he has already reached the realm of detachment, and the "Sun Shooting Technique" he cultivates not only strengthens the liver and gallbladder, but also helps to lock the essence and strengthen the qi, although he is old, but he is "a liver"!
Yan Yan can't afford to be able to afford it, in recent years, because of his physical strength, he has been walking downhill, and when fighting, his true qi is becoming more and more important, if he is bullying gilded, it's okay, in the Jinyu battle, Yan Yan's physical strength is very slow.
However, under Yan Yan's conscious adjustment, the armor manual has also been updated, and under long-term cultivation, he has evolved the ability to accelerate qi recovery.
The effect is to speed up the recovery of True Qi after stopping the active attack......
However, after trying a few times, Yan Yan also understood that the young man in front of him was not the opponent he would solve, let alone ...... There was another Jin Yu who was eyeing him, so he led the reinforcements to retreat back to the camp and began to defend the camp.
The quality of Chu's individual soldiers and the armor of the Chu sword all crushed the Yizhou army, but it was also difficult to achieve results when the other party had already prepared for less attack.
For three days in a row, no matter how he moved around and changed his target, it had little effect on Yan Yan's defense.
is worthy of being a veteran, and he has no intention of being fooled at all!
Finally, on the fourth day, reinforcements arrived from both sides......
Originally, because the main force of the Ba County defenders arrived first in the morning, Yan Yan hesitated to take the initiative to attack.
However, it was soon reported by the scouts, and the Chinese army on the other side was able to get close to ...... That's it.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Zhao Yun had already led four regiments to come to support.
There are still more defenders than attackers!
Originally, Zhao Yun and Wen Ping thought that they could rely on "calling the formation" to slowly reduce the morale of the opponent - if they did not attack for a long time, it would have caused a decline in morale, especially when there were many people on the defensive side.
However, Yan Yan's army ...... Not only the army directly led by him, but also the entire battlefield in Linjiang County, the Jiangzhou army brought by Yan Yan seemed to have a kind of meaning of "old and strong".
Continuous perseverance does not reduce the sharpness in the slightest, and even ...... After a few battles, Zhao Yun clearly felt that the army defending the city was much higher than the quality they showed in terms of physical recovery.
That's right, it's Yan Yan's special combat skill - refusing to fight!
Not only can he speed up his own qi recovery, but because Yan Yan has also integrated his principles into the art of war in his long-term cultivation, he has awakened the effect of the legion's combat skills.
It can make it extremely difficult for the defenders under his command to drop morale and collapse in the case of defense, and at the same time increase the speed of physical recovery.
Among the golden and jade generals, there are very few who can awaken the combat skills of the legion, Sun Ce is counted as one, and Huang Zhong is counted as one...... Now they are all detached!
Yan Yan is worthy of being a veteran, and he is a general of Bashu, and he has also comprehended this step in the art of war.
It's a pity that Yan Yan is old, and unlike Huang Zhong, who is a liver and martial arts...... That's it, I'm afraid there is no chance of detachment.
The effect of "refusal to fight" is also comprehensive.
Mental morale does not drop, and individual soldiers also accelerate physical recovery - the whole can be seen as improving resilience.
The only weakness is that it is completely ineffective in offensive or normal field combat!
However, after the "resilience" was made up by Yan Yan's legion skills, even if the Chu army had the advantage of individual soldiers, it would not be able to gain any advantage when the number was still less than that of the defender.
had to wait for the Fa Zheng of the palace to arrive, and on the other hand, let Gan take the risk to lobby Gan......
