Chapter 326: The Panicked Emperor of the Jin Kingdom
The method of immediate attack is a last resort.
As for the number of people counted in the past, they were simply ignored.
In this battle, there seemed to be no twists and turns, but the number of losses was also quite a lot, roughly calculated to be nearly 100,000 people in total.
You must know that with such advanced weapons and equipment, the loss of 100,000 people is already relatively large.
Among them, most of the people who lost were because of Yishui City.
The troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance are all well-trained elite soldiers, and they are a little tired after repeated battles, but they are not to the extent of slacking off.
This time, though, something is different.
Along the way, as long as they occupied the city, those landlords and wealthy households, without exception, would suffer a plunder, especially in terms of food, leaving only a few months' rations for the family.
This is a bit overbearing, but it is much more merciful than slaughter.
Of course, in order to achieve the purpose of deterrence, it is also necessary to kill some people appropriately.
Soon, a piece of news spread.
This time, the goal of the coalition forces is to cross the river!
There was also news that the coalition forces were not strong enough and would not advance until the middle of the river.
This time, the people along the way panicked.
Especially some wealthy households, one by one, packed their family property and dragged their families to Jincheng.
As a result, the entire Jin Kingdom staged a great population migration that was rare in decades.
The power of rumors is very terrifying, and no one among ordinary people is willing to take risks, but anyone who has some assets will drag their families and flee in the direction of Jincheng.
Of course, not everyone believed this news, such as some of the upper nobility, and those rulers basically knew that it was fake news.
The battle hasn't been fought yet, so you know that you won't attack Jincheng?
Only fools believe it!
It's one thing to believe it or not, the mouth says no, but the body is honest.
Even some officials began a large-scale migration in apprehension.
This triggered a chain reaction, and some people who were still hesitating also set off one after another when they saw this situation, and fled in a hurry in the direction of Jincheng.
In January, the army attacked the Zhongdu River.
Then, the coalition forces set up several checkpoints along the Zhongdu River, and all transportation matters were stopped.
At the same time, the army no longer adopted the method of advancing on land, but still requisitioned all kinds of civilian ships for the purpose of transporting troops.
At this time, after getting the news, the four-nation coalition led by Wei also began a large-scale attack, and after a bloody battle, Chen Bu was broken, and the coalition army won a crushing victory.
Then, using the same tactical methods, the coalition forces also released the message.
For a time, the population of the area centered on Jincheng skyrocketed.
Hua Wenqi, who was far away in the Son of Heaven Wangji, was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately divided the 1.5 million army under his command into two groups, rushing to aid Jincheng on the one hand, and guarding against the Chu army on the other.
……
Jincheng Palace.
When the urgent news of the defeat of the armies on the eastern and western fronts came, the emperor of the Jin State panicked.
The silent ministers in the hall gathered their eyes on the dragon chair.
The Emperor of Jin didn't say a word, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this point, his mind was in chaos.
What's next?
If it is said that the Four-Nation Alliance led by Wei is just taking advantage of the situation and can resist as long as there are more reinforcements, then the Three-Nation Alliance led by Cang is particularly tricky.
Powerful siege engines, almost terrifying cavalry on the frontal battlefield, and demagogic methods......
Each of them makes people feel a sense of powerlessness.
He even felt that no matter how many soldiers and horses were mobilized, it would be useless in front of this coalition army, and in the end he would be defeated and would be beaten to Jincheng.
The army of the Jin State, because it is relatively scattered, still has 2.5 million troops stationed in Wangji......
The deployment of troops is extremely uneven!
This is a strategic mistake, the coalition army led by Cangguo has already occupied the Zhongdu River, and it is about to advance towards Jincheng, where will the reinforcements be in time?
Damn it!
In the first place, I shouldn't have been so anxious!
At this moment, the emperor of the Jin State repented.
Several generations of ancestors of the Jin Kingdom have been the overlords for a hundred years, is it because they can't swallow Wang Ji?
Wrong!
It is not possible to annex!
In his generation, it was good, and he directly used a half-attack and half-deception method to annex this strategically important Wangji, and the soldiers who expanded the territory to the outside did not have time to conquer King Qin.
But repentance is useless.
When it comes to the end, we have to face the overall situation, and we have to face a huge coalition army!
"Humph! It's just a small country, and it dares to provoke my Dajin, and the tiger sleeps for a while, don't you think it's dead! The Emperor of Jin suddenly got up, patted the dragon chair and said, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
The ministers were silent.
What is there to say?
What else can be said?
Do you dare?
The emperor has compared the sleeping tiger to the Jin Kingdom, so should he continue to discuss the question of whether the tiger is dead or not?
What's more, the reason why this battle was lost was originally related to the emperor's lack of attention before, if he had followed Wang Zhi's advice earlier and increased troops in the area of Fengwen City, how could he have fallen into today's situation?
Is it telling the truth?
If you really do this, it is estimated that you don't have to wait for Jincheng to be breached, and you will be ruined today.
In particular, this kind of performance of the emperor could not be separated by many courtiers of the current dynasty.
As long as you mention it, it is a large group of people who are offended, and you will definitely not be able to walk out of the palace by yourself.
The eyes of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom scanned the main hall a few times, and then he let out a long sigh.
"I'm going to find the national teacher!"
Suddenly, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom stood up from the dragon chair and stumbled out.
The ministers, who had already had no masters, were shocked, and some people involuntarily ran out with the emperor.
Hearing the noise behind him, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom turned around and shouted: "What are you doing!" All of them are rice buckets! Hurry up and get me back, don't discuss a countermeasure, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
Suddenly, all the ministers were stunned, stopped, and began to speak one by one.
Looking at the forbidden army around him, he couldn't help but shudder.
Judging from His Majesty's practice in the past year, there is really this possibility, if he angers His Majesty, there are more than a dozen wolf dogs in the cage outside the palace.
Last time, the picture of the waiter in front of the palace not being torn apart by the wolf dog is still vivid.
In this way, the courtiers watched the emperor and walked step by step to the inner courtyard of the palace.
"That ......"
"That's where the national teacher is, right? Your Majesty has gone to the cave of the national teacher? ”
"Could it be that the national teacher really has a way?"
"I don't know how the national teacher will deal with it, in case he says something bad about us...... Last time, someone impeached the national teacher and was beheaded all over the house. ”
For a while, the ministers reacted and screamed. ()
