The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1042 Jia Chong's end
Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army would never have been so weak, but the sequelae caused by the sudden change of coaches was indeed the main culprit that caused the overall collapse of the Jin army.

Yang Hu has been in the Jizhou army for many years, and the prestige formed by Jia Chong, who has just arrived, can be replaced by Jia Chong, not to mention that Yang Hu was taken away by the imperial court as an imperial prisoner. What is the impact of this incident on the Jizhou army? so big.

Jia Chong has not led the army for a long time, and he will never understand that the fit between officers and soldiers is the source and guarantee of the army's combat effectiveness. He thinks that he can easily mobilize and command this army with the emperor's imperial decree and the soldier talisman handed over by Yang Hu .

Although this army succumbed to his command on the surface, in the real heart, the Jin army was already divided, and its combat effectiveness plummeted.

What happened to Yang Hu made many soldiers who loved and supported him feel chilled and angry. They kept their dissatisfaction and resentment towards Jia Chong in their hearts. From the very beginning, he was given a slap in the face, and the defeat of the Jin army was already inevitable.

Zhang Lin and others were extremely hostile to Jia Chong. Seeing that the Jin army was in disintegration, Zhang Lin said to the generals under his command: "The governor of the sheep is loyal to the country and has ended up like this. Why do we bother to work for the Sima family?" , it is better to surrender to the Kingdom of Shu, maybe there is still a good future."

Zhang Lin still had a certain influence in the army, and his call was supported by many of his subordinates, so Zhang Lin led the army to counterattack before the battle, which accelerated the defeat of the Jin army.

Seeing this scene, Jia Chong couldn't help scolding Zhang Lin for waiting until someone surrendered to the country, but now although he is still the governor, he has not given orders. Many Jin soldiers have completely ignored them. , suddenly became a piece of loose sand.

It's over!Jia Chong's heart was full of sadness. He was unwilling to go to the war at first, but Sima Yan forced him to come. This kind of feeling of driving ducks to the shelves is really uncomfortable.But since it is here, it will be safe. When Jia Chong held a [-] army, he had fantasized about what to do, but when the battle really started, Jia Chong realized that it was not the same thing at all. Now the momentum and combat effectiveness of the Shu army have already overwhelmed. At one end of the Jin army, the Jin army, which was once known as the king's division, has long since lost its morale and is vulnerable to a single blow.

When the advantage in numbers no longer determines the outcome of the battle, Jia Chong has realized that the defeat of this battle is inevitable.In addition to the Tiger Cavalry Army attacking from the front, the other two Shu Army troops also approached from the flanks. Judging from this posture, it is clear that they intend to wipe out the Jin Army.

In order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, Jia Chong had to order a retreat. Fortunately, although the Shu army has a big appetite, it may not be able to swallow the 3 troops of the Jin army in one fell swoop. After Jia Chong ordered the retreat, most of the Jin army began to retreat. Retreating backwards, although the Shu army pursued across the board, they had limited gains. After the Jin army lost [-] to [-] people, most of the army still escaped from the tiger's mouth.

But this battle Jia Chong has already fought quite aggrieved. The [-] troops came here while they were in the mood, but they were beaten in disgrace. If the Shu army had more soldiers and horses than the Jin army, Jia Chong would be useless It can be said, but in fact the number of troops of the Shu army is less than half of that of the Jin army. Jia Chong didn't know how to explain to Sima Yan such a heavy defeat.

Jia Chong led his troops back to Huai County, but the Shu army was relentless and chased after the victory. Jia Chong was furious. Maybe he will lead his troops to counterattack and beat up the Shu army's pursuing troops.

But at best, this can only make Jia Chong obsessed. The powerful attack of the Tiger Cavalry Army on the Shuangqingyuan battlefield has already destroyed the last line of defense in Jia Chong's heart. Judging from the current capabilities of the Jin army, there is no That army can have the same ability as the Shu Army's Tiger Cavalry Army.

Fleeing back to Huai County, Jia Chong's heart finally settled down a little. After all, only the tall and thick city walls can withstand the impact of the cavalry of the Shu army.

However, Jia Chong soon discovered that the progress of the Shu army was very fast, and he was not given any breathing space at all. Surrounded.

This time, Huai County was besieged not only by the three armies of the Shu Army, which had won the battle in Shuangqingyuan, but also by the other two Shu armies following from the direction of Yecheng.

This is a complete tragedy for Jia Chong. If we say that the three armies of the Shu army alone are not enough to besiege Huai County, but after the Shu army who came from the direction of Yecheng joined, the total strength of the Shu army In the first place, it has already surpassed the Jin army, and the 10,000+ Shu army surrounded Huai County like an iron barrel. Jia Chong was completely desperate.

The Shu army didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack the city, and finally gave Jia Chong a chance. He sent people back to Luoyang to ask Sima Yan for help, and begged Sima Yan to send troops and horses for the sake of the great Jin country. rescue.

Sima Yan was stunned when he heard Jia Chong's disastrous defeat in Hanoi. He thought that after the [-] troops returned to Hanoi, they could easily deal with the Shu army that entered Hanoi County, but the result was that the Jin army was defeated and was trapped by the Shu army. After leaving Huai County, the city of Ye was lost, Hanoi could not be kept, and the entire north of the Yellow River was completely occupied. Is the country of the Great Jin Dynasty really at the end of the road?
Sima Yan can't just sit back and watch Jia Chong, but the key issue now is that there are not many troops in Luoyang area, and these soldiers and horses are all defending Luoyang, so they don't dare to mobilize easily.

If you want to rescue Huai County, you must first cross the natural danger of the Yellow River. This is the real difficulty. Why Luoyang can hold it is because of the natural danger of the Yellow River. In the same way, the Jin army wants to cross the Yellow River and enter Hanoi. Natural dangers will also become the biggest obstacle in front of them. Sima Yan has no soldiers to adjust, so naturally he cannot agree to Jia Chong's request.

Liu Yin was not in a hurry to attack Huai County because he wanted to see if Sima Yan would send troops across the river to rescue him. Now that the Yellow River is difficult to cross, if he could lead the troops of the Jin army to the north of the Yellow River as much as possible, that would be considered A nice idea.

It's a pity that I don't know if Sima Yan turned a deaf ear or had no soldiers to move. After waiting for many days, there was no movement from Luoyang. It seemed that Sima Yan had given up on the rescue of Huai County.

So Liu Yin didn't wait any longer, and ordered a general attack on Huai County to completely wipe out the last remaining military force of Jin State north of the Yellow River.
