The last three kingdoms

Chapter 939 Waiting for reinforcements
On the third day, Sima Jun, who was unwilling to be captured without a fight, launched another battle to break out of the encirclement, but the outcome remained the same. If he didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back to see the Yellow River, Sima Jun, who was never dead, was disgraced and lost 1 yuan this time. After many people, I have to lament the hopelessness of breaking through.

What's worse is that the food and grass carried by the Jin army has been eaten up, and the army will be in chaos if there is no food. This sentence is not false at all. The desperate Jin army made matters worse.

After being besieged for three days, the soldiers of the Jin army initially took part in the battle of breaking out with great confidence. They fought against the odds, united as one, and the Jin soldiers performed quite well, with high morale and full confidence. will fail.

But after the three-day breakout battle, no matter how confident people are, they are now shaken, and their morale has naturally plummeted. The biggest cold wave since the beginning of winter swept across, and the morale of the Jin army also dropped to freezing point.

Now it is quite difficult for Sima Jun to organize an effective attack. The weather is cold, there is no food to eat, and no clothes to keep out the cold. Under the hunger and cold, the combat power of the Jin army can be imagined, and more importantly Yes, from the leading generals down to the ordinary soldiers, they were completely desperate for the breakout operation. Many soldiers deserted, abandoned the camp overnight, and went to the Shu army.

That night, Xie Xi happened to be patrolling the camp. He saw a few Jin soldiers sneaking out of the camp in a ghostly manner, and immediately stepped forward to question them. Bring them back to the camp and hand them over to Sima Jun.

Sima Jun was furious, and immediately pushed these soldiers out of the camp gate and beheaded them, and hung their heads on the camp gate to show the public.

However, harsh punishments and harsh laws may not be able to stop the desire to survive. When they know that there is no hope of breaking through the siege and they are very likely to die on the battlefield, such threats and intimidation may not necessarily bring good results. Zhi's soldiers had the idea of ​​fleeing, and on the night Sima Jun cut off the deserters, there were several consecutive incidents of soldiers fleeing in the camps.

A few unlucky soldiers were captured by Xiexi, and there were a few more heads hanging from the camp gate, but most of the deserters were lucky enough to escape from the camp of the Jin army and fled to the camp of the Shu army. there.

Sima Jun was furious, but it didn't help. Now he finally realized what it means to have a tree fall and a huzi scatter, and a wall fall and everyone push it away.

After those scattered deserters successfully fled, it encouraged the Jin army's fleeing atmosphere. In the following time, the number of Jin army fleeing increased, and even entire teams of troops abandoned the camp and fled. Acting according to orders, he killed all the deserters he captured, but he couldn't stop the Jin soldiers from fleeing.

Sima Jun's face was pale, and he slumped on the mat helplessly. The Jin army's morale was broken, and the defeat was irreversible. Sima Jun wanted to break out of the encirclement with his own strength, but it was in vain. Now he was powerless Huitian, pinned all hopes of breaking through the encirclement on the other two armies.

Even though Sima Jun's army was completely surrounded, even if Sima Jun wanted to send a delivery man to Wen Yang or Ma Long, it was an extravagant hope.But Sima Jun didn't have to worry too much about Wen Yang and Ma Long not getting any news. After all, Sima Jun's army was only lightly advancing and didn't bring much food and grass. According to the prior agreement, Zhou Zhi would deliver a batch of grain and grass to the army every two days. If everything was normal, Zhou Zhi would have gotten the news two days before and sent someone to notify Wen Yang and Ma Long.

Once Wen Yang and Ma Long received the news, they would definitely send troops to rescue them. No one could save them, except Sima Jun. He was the uncle of the current emperor, the powerful King of Ruyin, The commander-in-chief of the three imperial armies, against the governor, if Sima Jun made a mistake, both Wen Yang and Ma Long could hardly absolve themselves of the blame.

Now Sima Jun's eyes are darkened, he is trapped in Anguo by the Shu army, and he doesn't know what's going on outside. Now he can only wait besides waiting...

"Extremely stupid!" Zhou Zhi muttered secretly.

But Zhou Zhi didn't dare to say this in front of anyone, he could only secretly slander in his heart, after all Sima Jun's status was there, if he said anything carelessly, he might be killed.

However, although Zhou Zhi didn't dare to say it clearly, he scolded Sima Jun in his stomach. When Zhou Zhi was the governor of Jizhou in Yanghu, he was a well-deserved pioneer of Zhengyin, and he was highly regarded by Yanghu. Later, Zhou Zhi was transferred to escort the grain and grass. Such a gap made Zhou Zhi feel resentful.

However, Zhou Zhi couldn't afford to offend Sima Jun, so he could only obediently become a food security officer, responsible for providing food, grass and logistics supplies for Sima Jun's army.

After Sima Jun crossed the Zhanghe River, his marching speed was extremely fast, which made Si Zhi obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm. After all, the baggage camp was full of baggage vehicles for transporting bulk supplies, and they moved slowly. They wanted to catch up with Sima Jun's army. It is very difficult.

However, Zhou Zhi was not too worried. According to the agreement, Zhou Zhi had to deliver food and grass to the Jin army at the front line every other day. As long as Zhou Zhi completed the task according to the time, nothing would happen to him.

But this time there were still some small accidents. When Zhou Zhi’s grain transportation team passed the Zhanghe pontoon bridge, the pontoon collapsed suddenly, causing dozens of grain vehicles of the grain transportation team to fall into the Zhanghe River, and the pontoon bridge was broken and could not pass through. , Zhou Zhi's food team was delayed.

After rushing to repair the pontoon bridge and salvage the baggage carts, I was busy all day, and finally ruled out the accident, but the time was also delayed by a day.

Zhou Zhi became a little apprehensive, knowing that Sima Jun was not close to him in the first place, this time the delivery of food and grass was delayed, if Sima Jun were to be dealt with according to military law, Zhou Zhi would be in great trouble.

He Jun, the general in charge of the pontoon bridge, said: "General Zhou, don't need to worry. If something goes wrong, I believe King Ruyin will not hold him accountable. I can also prove to General Zhou that the pontoon bridge was the cause of the delay in the delivery of grain and grass. I can't blame the general."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhi nodded his head, thanked He Jun with his hands, and immediately escorted the food and supplies, and headed north. It would be a serious crime to delay by one day, and it would be a death penalty if it was delayed.
