Chapter 1042: Jia Chong's End (Medium)
Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army would never be so weak, but the sequelae brought about by the change of commander was indeed the main culprit of the complete collapse of the Jin army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yanghu has been in the Jizhou army for many years, and the prestige he has formed can not be replaced by Jia Chong, who has just arrived, not to mention that Yanghu was taken away by the imperial court as a prisoner, and the impact of this incident on the Jizhou army is so great.
Jia Chong did not lead the army for a long time, and he would not understand that the fit between officers and soldiers was the source and guarantee of the army's combat effectiveness, and he thought that he could easily mobilize and command this army with the emperor's holy decree and the talisman handed over by Yanghu.
Although this army was superficially subservient to his command, the real inside, the Jin army had already been separated from morality, and its combat effectiveness had plummeted.
Yanghu's experience made many soldiers who loved and supported him feel chilled and angry, they put their dissatisfaction and resentment against Jia Chong in the bottom of their hearts, the lack of cohesion of the army can only be a plate of scattered sand, although Jia Chong is full of confidence, but from the beginning of the battle, he gave a slap in the face, the defeat of the Jin army, is inevitable.
Zhang Lin and others were extremely hostile to Jia Chong, and when they saw the Jin army's formation dispersed, Zhang Lin said to the generals under him: "The governor of Yangdu is loyal to the country, and they all end up like this, why should we work hard for the Sima clan, it is better to surrender to Shu, maybe there is a good future." ā
Zhang Lin still had a certain amount of influence in the army, and his call was supported by many of his subordinates, so Zhang Lin led the army to counterattack in front of the battle, accelerating the defeat of the Jin army.
When Jia Chong saw this scene, he couldn't help but angrily scolded Zhang Lin and others for treason, but now although he is still the governor of the capital, he has not moved his orders, and many Jin soldiers have completely ignored them, and the entire 100,000 army has suddenly become a piece of scattered sand.
Finished! Jia Chong's heart was desolate, he was originally reluctant to go on the expedition, but Sima Yan forced him to come, this kind of taste of chasing ducks on the shelves is really uncomfortable. When Jia Chong held an army of 100,000, he had fantasized about how to do it, but as soon as the war really started, Jia Chong found that it was not the same thing at all, and now the momentum and combat effectiveness of the Shu army have already overwhelmed the Jin army, and the Jin army, which was once known as the king's army, has long been scattered and vulnerable.
When numerical superiority is no longer the decisive 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 teams on both sides of the flank direction also approached.
In order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, Jia Chong had to order a retreat, fortunately, although the appetite of the Shu army is large, but it may not be able to swallow the 100,000 troops of the Jin army in one fell swoop, after Jia Chong ordered the retreat, most of the army of the Jin army began to retreat, although the Shu army pursued the whole line, but also limited gains, the Jin army lost 20,000 or 30,000 people, most of the army escaped from the tiger's mouth.
But this battle Jia Chong has been quite aggrieved, 100,000 troops took advantage of the excitement, but they were beaten by others, if the Shu army has more soldiers and horses than the Jin army, Jia Chong will have nothing to say, but in fact, the Shu army's men and horses are less than half of the Jin army, such a heavy defeat, so that Jia Chong does not know how to explain to Sima Yan.
Jia Chong led the troops to retreat to Huaixian, but the Shu army was unrelenting, pursued by victory, and chased to the city of Huaixian in one breath, which made Jia Chong angry, if it were not for the strong strength of the cavalry of the Shu army, Jia Chong was likely to lead the troops to counterattack and beat the pursuing troops of the Shu army.
But this can only make Jia Chong obscene at best, the Tiger Cavalry Army on the battlefield of Shuangqing Yuan, its powerful attack has already destroyed the last line of defense in Jia Chong's heart, and at present, judging from the ability of the Jin Army, there is no army that can have the same ability as the Shu Army Tiger Cavalry.
After escaping back to Huaixian, Jia Chong's heart settled down a little, after all, the tall and thick city wall could withstand the impact of the Shu cavalry.
However, Jia Chong soon found that the progress of the Shu army was very fast, and he was not given any respite at all.
This time, it was not only the three corps of the Shu army that won the battle in Shuangqingyuan, but also the other two Shu armies that followed from the direction of Yecheng.
This Jia Chong is completely tragic, if it is said that the three armies of the Shu army alone are not enough to besiege Huaixian, but after the Shu army from the direction of Yecheng joined, the Shu army has surpassed the Jin army in terms of total strength, and the Shu army of more than 100,000 will surround Huaixian like an iron bucket, Jia Chong is called the sky should not be called the earth, and he completely fell into despair.
The Shu army did not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city, and finally gave Jia Chong a little opportunity to take advantage of, he sent people back to Luoyang to ask Sima Yan for help, and implored Sima Yan to send soldiers and horses to rescue for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Sima Yan heard that Jia Chong was defeated in Hanoi, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, originally thought that after the 100,000 army returned to Hanoi, it could easily solve the Shu army that entered Hanoi County, but the result was a fiasco for the Jin army, but it was trapped in Huai County by the Shu army, Yecheng was lost, Hanoi could not be saved, and the entire north of the Yellow River was completely fallen.
Sima Yan couldn't sit idly by and watch Jia Chong ignore it, but the key problem now was that there were not many troops in the Luoyang area, and these soldiers and horses were all guarding Luoyang, so they didn't dare to move easily.
If you want to rescue Huaixian, you must first cross the Yellow River natural risk, this is the real difficulty, why Luoyang can hold it, is by virtue of the Yellow River natural risk, the same reason, the Jin army wants to cross the Yellow River and enter Hanoi, this natural danger will also become the biggest obstacle in front of them, Sima Yan has no troops to adjust, so naturally he will not be able to agree to Jia Chong's request.
Liu Yin was not in a hurry to attack Huaixian, just because he wanted to see if Sima Yan was going to send troops to cross the river to rescue, now that the Yellow River is difficult to cross, if the soldiers and horses of the Jin army can be led to the north of the Yellow River as much as possible, this is a good idea.
It's a pity that I don't know whether Sima Yan turned a deaf ear or had no soldiers to adjust, and after waiting for many days, there was no movement on the Luoyang side, and it seemed that Sima Yan had given up the rescue of Huai County.
So Liu Yin did not wait any longer and ordered a general attack on Huaixian to completely wipe out the last remaining military force of the Jin State north of the Yellow River. (To be continued.) )
