The last three kingdoms

Chapter 974 Jiang Zhonghui

The Jin army won a battle, and the momentum was in full swing, and the army followed all the way.Of course, Du Yu didn't mean to pursue madly. Seeing that the Jin army had already chased for several miles, Du Yu ordered to withdraw the troops immediately, and the poor should not pursue them.

But obviously it was too late, the Jin army had just stopped attacking, and when they were about to return to the camp, Wang She and Liu Yin from the left and right had already led their troops out, launching a pincer attack on the Jin army.

In Jiang Bin's plan, it is to lure the enemy into battle, and then encircle and wipe them out. Anyway, the Shu army has an advantage in strength, and if they outflank it in three directions, it will be easy to win a big victory.

Jiang Bin ordered Hao Wei to fight, and he used the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep. Unexpectedly, his opponent Wu Lin was too fierce, Hao Weishang had no time to retreat, and Wu Lin had already beheaded him.

However, even though he lost a general, it allowed Jiang Bin's plan to be better implemented. The Jin army pressed heavily, and the Shu army retreated. Everything seemed reasonable.

At the same time, Wang She's troops on the left and Liu Yin's troops on the right were all in place. Even if Du Yu was astute, saw something was wrong, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw in time, it was already too late. The soldiers and horses came out together, trapping the Jin army in the core.

Du Yu didn't dare to fight, and led the army to break out of the siege, but he had already lost nearly half of his troops. Du Yu didn't dare to return to the Shandu camp, so he directly led his army to the east and fought with Yanghu's army. meet in one place.

In the battle of Shandu, the Shu army easily defeated Du Yu, and the troops reported back to Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei smiled slightly and ordered the army to continue to advance, step by step, and push towards Xiangyang.

To the west of Xiangyang, more than [-] troops of the Jin army were assembled. Jiang Wei did not dare to rush in lightly at this moment. Xu, using the method of advancing the camp step by step, advances no more than ten or twenty miles a day. Whether marching or camping every day, he is heavily guarded and does not give the Jin army any opportunity to take advantage of it.

After Du Yubai returned to the camp, he pleaded guilty to Yang Hu: "The last general failed to stop the Shu army and lost the hope of the governor. Please punish him."

Yang Hu said calmly: "General Du used [-] troops to fight against the enemy's [-] Shu army. Even if he lost, it is reasonable. What is the crime? How is Jiang Wei's army now?"

Du Yu said: "Jiang Wei marched eastward from the mountain capital. He traveled no more than [-] to [-] miles a day. He was very cautious at every step. It will not be easy to break the enemy."

Yang Hu said: "Jiang Wei has seized Shangyong himself, and has been standing still in Fangling. This sudden attack on Xiangyang is obviously a secret agreement with Zhong Hui. If the Shu army does not break, and our army is attacked by the enemy, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight again. We have a chance to win Xiangyang."

Du Yu nodded, and said: "What the governor said is very true. If Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui hadn't colluded, Jiang Wei would definitely not have marched at this moment. I hate that Zhong Hui, not only for rebellion, but also for treason this time. Really There is no crime to be punished!"

Different from Du Yu's gritted teeth and hatred, Yang Hu was quite calm. Since Zhong Hui had already rebelled, how could he care about the interests of Jin? He insisted firmly, although it is not clear what conditions Jiang Wei agreed to Zhong Hui, but there is no doubt that Zhong Hui has already defected to the Kingdom of Shu.

As a result, the situation took a turn for the worse. If Jiang Wei hadn't come to disrupt the situation, then Yang Hu would be confident that he could take Xiangyang City in a short period of time. But now that Jiang Wei has entered the game, the situation that was originally not too complicated has been confused. In the end, Yang Hu had to mobilize troops to deal with Jiang Wei, and the offensive against Xiangyang City seemed much weaker.

Despite the difficult situation, Yang Hu decided to grit his teeth and persevere. He transferred the besieging troops, leaving only a small number of troops to block, and transferred a large number of troops to the west of Xiangyang.

The siege has been suspended, and Yang Hu's goal is the Shu army west of Xiangyang. If they can be completely wiped out or expelled from the country, the situation in Xiangyang may be better.

But Jiang is still old and hot. Jiang Wei has been in the field for decades, and he has never fought any kind of battle. In this situation, Jiang Wei is even more familiar with it and calmly dealt with it.

Although the total strength of the Shu army is weaker than that of the Jin army, the Jin army needs to fight on both sides. Only a part of the army can be deployed to deal with the Shu army. Then the strength of the two sides in the battle is probably similar. The Jin army wants to use it. With the same force, it is almost an impossible task to defeat the army led by Jiang Wei.

The more fierce the fight on the battlefield, the more calm Jiang Wei became, and he was calm and calm. Jiang Wei knew that the Jin army was in a hurry to jump over the wall and wanted to break the siege of the Shu army. If the Hezhong Club attacked, the situation of the battle would become even more unfavorable.

Now Yang Hu had the idea of ​​a quick battle, but Jiang Wei never gave him any chance. Jiang Wei used the minimum cost of casualties to contain the Jin army's attack.

For several months in a row, the situation in Xiangyang has not changed. The situation is indeed not favorable for Yang Hu. Yang Hu knows that Jiang Wei wants to use this method of delay to completely drag down the Jin army. As the battle situation became unfavorable, the morale of the Jin army also changed suddenly, and their mentality was far from the calm and calm it was at the beginning.

Maybe Jiang Wei was waiting for such an opportunity, and when the Jin army was exhausted, he would give the Jin army a powerful attack, and if they didn't make a sound, they would be nothing but a blockbuster.

With the passage of time, Yang Hu could no longer see any hope, and the low morale of the Jin army was equivalent to giving Yang Hu a warning. For a long time, the Jin army had been attacking, but it was still unable to break through the Shu army. Leaky defense, is it true that the Shu army really has no counterattack power?
Of course not, Yang Hu knew very well that Jiang Wei was accumulating strength, and when the Jin army was exhausted, they would decisively strike a fatal blow to the Jin army.

If this moment really happened, what awaited the Jin army might be a catastrophe.

So Yang Hu didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and decisively ordered to retreat, and transferred all the troops south of Hanshui to the north of Hanshui.

When Jiang Wei saw that the Jin army was about to slip away, he immediately launched a full-scale general offensive. Zhonghui's army in Xiangyang City also participated in this operation. The battle between the two sides was earth-shattering and extremely fierce, but Yang Hu was not ordinary He tried his best, and finally he was able to get out without paying a certain price.

The Jin army withdrew, and the battle of Xiangyang came to an end. Jiang Wei sat high in the camp, and Zhong Hui came out of the city in person. Jiang Zhong's meeting, under the expectant eyes of everyone, officially kicked off...
