Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 487 Night Battle
Although he was three days late, Yan Yan could 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. In terms of marching on mountain roads, they were definitely not as good as the Jiangzhou army. Moreover, they carried very limited food, grass and water. It was impossible for them to plunge into the woods and never come out again!

Taken together, Yan Yan feels that he acted not too late...

However, just a full day after leaving Linjiang, when I had just arrived at Shangougou in 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, which was defended by the Chu army.

At this time, after learning that the Chu army was actually hiding in the mountains, and was just pretending to have a way out to lure him away, 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. 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 started 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 eleven of our army! Extinguish the torches and hold your ground!" A voice shouted 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 or 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 strength.

The biggest enemy of 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 due to 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 also why, in the history of night raids, there are not many elite troops dispatched.

In the world of Cheng Ji, the manpower of a group with widespread night blindness is drawn, and the Ji Zao soldiers "trained" are basically night blind...

In contrast, the people of Chu State had a very abundant meat intake. The food and grass for Ji Zao's soldiers were 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 [-]st Wancheng Division and the [-]st Xinye Division are among the best troops trained in Jingzhou's military base, and they are not said to be "night-blind" at all.

Yan Yan hurriedly put out 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 heart, he instinctively thinks that this is a weakness of both sides, and there is nothing to pay special attention to.

Yan Yan felt in her heart that the reason why the opponent dared to attack her was probably because she wanted to make a "bomb camp", as long as she calmed down...

In terms of resilience, Yan Yan's army was indeed unique. Although they 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 they had been defeated, but that they 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 the deputy general. However, he found that due to 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 and invisible at the same time, but 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 back of blessings" - 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 Being able to use elite soldiers to block the opponent's weird offensive.

after that……

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 his strength substantially improved compared to when he was 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 in "Legend of Heroes" rushed into the enemy formation before, now they are completely in the style of Wushuang mowing grass!

More than 2000 elites?Not enough to watch!
It was cut faster than the ordinary soldiers before. Yan Yan was stunned and had already cut off half of his penis...

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

I'm afraid it would be difficult for the generals to encounter such a "tempting" scene!

　Dongdong: Ah, today is the 12th... After the update, it should be almost 7 words. We are still [-] short of this month’s goal!

　　18 in 10 days. At present, it should be achieved!
