Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 485
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.

Two divisions were dispatched to cross the Eight Hundred Miles Canyon in half a month (bragging). They broke through the Kui Gate in one day and captured five cities in seven days...

Before the Jiangzhou garrison could react, they had Yufu and Quren counties in their hands. 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 is 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 official administration, resulting in the inability to control the local area. However, the garrison in Jiangzhou was completely controlled by Yan Yan!
It's probably equivalent to...the Six Meridians Divine Sword only connecting one meridian?

Although the garrison in Jiangzhou, under the control of Yan Yan, was far from being treated as well as 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 Ba County 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, bows and arrows, but it was just because Yizhou Prefecture was too reluctant to allocate money. , so it looks older.

However, in recent years, because Chu State seems to be cheating, 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, so naturally he didn't trade too many armaments. Now the equipment of Yizhou County...

If compared to the equipment of the front-line army, the value may not be lower, but the actual strength has lagged behind other princes. Compared with Chu State, it is far behind!

but……

I can't stand Yan Yan's "powerful and heavy" move...

There are [-] 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 [-] to [-] 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 by 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, Mao'ershan Yingzhao hung up the battle-free card and did not accept the call.

Of course, the no-war card is mostly just for comfort. No princes recognize it. 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. 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. the forward, so he personally Come with the front army.

"Don't be so arrogant, you traitors, Yan Yan is here!" Yan Yan, the veteran general, was also impatient and committed suicide himself.

Yan Yan is doing well in Yizhou Prefecture, and he is skilled in military tactics and martial arts... It is slightly affected by his age, but it is not ordinary.

The most important thing is that in this troubled time again, 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 2000 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 was 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 removed your armor and accepted the surrender, you can enjoy your old age. Don't wait until you are bound to die. It will be too late to regret it!" 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 general 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 it. 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 Gilded Gold. In the battle between 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 a few 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 the armor of Chu's sword all crushed the Yizhou army. However, with a small attack and a large number of enemies, it was also difficult to achieve results when the opponent was already prepared. Wenpin saw that he could not do anything, so he had to wait and see. Ming Jin withdraws his 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 had been able to approach... and then they gave up.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Zhao Yun had already led four regiments to come for 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 performance.

That's right, it's Yan Yan's special combat skill - refusing 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 his 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... and now they have transcended!

Yan Yan is indeed a veteran general, and a veteran general in 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 is full of liver, martial arts... that's all, I'm afraid there is no chance to escape.

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 battles!

However, after the "resilience" was made up for 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...
