Chapter 1043: Jia Chong's End (Part II)

In this era, there is no obvious boundary between Wenchen and military generals, and many scholars from Confucianism can become a generation of famous generals, such as Zhuge Liang, such as Sima Yi, and the current generals of the Jin Kingdom, Yang Hu, Du Pre, including Zhong Hui, are also well-educated people with outstanding literary talents.

But Jia Chong and Yanghu Zhonghui are slightly different, after all, Jia Chong has spent most of his life in the court, and the time to lead the army is extremely limited, Jia Chong has indeed not fought much, and most of the things about the Shu army are just hearsay, all of Jia Chong's military knowledge still comes from the art of war he learned when he was young, so he is blindly confident that 100,000 people will fight 40,000 people, thinking that he can win the battle.

It's a pity that Sun Tzu's Art of War only taught Jia Chong ten rules to encircle it, five to attack it, and multiple to divide it, and he didn't know at all that there were many factors that determined the success or failure of the war, and the advantage of troops was only one of them, and it was the one that did not occupy the main position.

The sharpness of the cavalry of the Shu army brought Jia Chong the shock is indescribable, Jia Chong would not have thought that the cavalry of the Shu army was only more than 10,000 people and the Jin army of 100,000 troops would be impacted.

Now in addition to lamenting, Jia Chong can only stick to Huaixian County, waiting for rescue. Although Huai County is surrounded on all sides, Jia Chong is not too worried, after all, Huai County is a county town, the city defense facilities are not bad, in his own hands, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 people, Jia Chong still has considerable confidence in guarding Huai County, he thinks, there should not be much problem in guarding for a few months.

It's autumn now, and in a month or two, we're going to enter winter, and it's not the best opportunity to use troops in the middle of winter, as long as we can survive this winter, maybe the tide of the war will take a turn for the better.

It's a pity that Liu Yin didn't give Jia Chong such a chance at all, just a Huai County, it really didn't put it in Liu Yin's eyes, the reason why Liu Yin besieged Huai County but didn't attack it, was just to use Huai County as a bait to lure Sima Yan to send more Jin troops to cross the river to attack.

But Sima Yan did not take the bait, firstly, Luoyang's troops were limited, secondly, heavy rain fell in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the water of the Yellow River skyrocketed.

The explosion of "boom" woke Jia Chong from his sleep, the attack of the Shu army was chosen at dawn, the sky was just dawn, the siege of the troops was already in place, in order to reduce the casualties of the siege troops, Liu Yin directly used gunpowder, with a trebuchet to throw the gunpowder bullet directly to the head of Huai County, the rumbling explosion, the city wall of Huai County was almost devastatingly damaged.

Now the Shu army's reserves of gunpowder are extremely sufficient, so in this attack on Huaixian, the firearms battalion did not skimp on the amount of gunpowder at all, and threw as many firearms as possible into Huaixian County, opening up a smooth road for the infantry to attack the city.

When Jia Chong got up from the couch, he felt that the sky was spinning, it seemed that the earth was trembling, the house was shaking, and Jia Chong couldn't even stand on his feet.

Could it be an earthquake? Jia Chong was a little puzzled, but this seemed to be different from an earthquake, after every violent explosion, the earth would shake, and if there was an earthquake, how could there be such a loud sound?

"What's going on?" Jia Chong asked the soldiers.

Someone reported: "Lord Qiqi Situ, the Shu army has begun to attack the city." ”

Jia Chong was shocked, he remembered the firearms owned by the Shu army, when the Shu army captured Chang'an, it was the firearms that were used, although Jia Chong did not see it with his own eyes, but in the report of the imperial court, firearms were rendered into an extremely powerful weapon, attacking the city and destroying the village, indestructible.

At this moment, Jia Chong had not yet arrived in the city, he had already felt the terrifying power, and in the rumbling explosion, the entire city was in a state of shaking, and it was not difficult to imagine the destruction of the city wall.

If it was said that when he didn't see the power of firearms, Jia Chong still had some illusions about guarding Huaixian, but now he has no illusions at all, it's over, this time it's really over!

Jia Chong suddenly understood how well-intentioned Yanghu was to set up deep trenches and fortifications in Yecheng, the cavalry army of Shu had invincible cavalry, and there were indestructible firearms to attack the city, such an army was almost invincible, except for Yanghu's trench fortifications, there was almost no way to contend with it.

It's a pity that before this, almost no one understood Yanghu's good intentions, and many people were still laughing at Yanghu's demarcation of the land as a prison, not trapping the enemy but restraining themselves. Jia Chong also realized how wise Yanghu's strategy was after several defeats.

Those who wake up, wake up by mistake.

When Jia Chong understood this truth, he was already embattled and defeated, and he understood that the Jin Kingdom had lost the opportunity to win the final victory, and after the Battle of Hanoi, the Jin Kingdom had completely finished playing.

"Lord Situ, the Shu army has broken through the city and entered the city, my lord, break through quickly, it's too late if you don't leave." The Chinese army hurriedly said to Jia Chong.

The firearms attack of the Shu army destroyed the defense that the Jin army had worked so hard to build, and the entire city head of Huai County was almost blown up, and under the offensive of the infantry of the Shu army like a tide, the Jin army defending the city had no power to resist, and the four city gates all fell in a blink of an eye, and the Shu army was fighting into the city.

Jia Chong's plan to hold on for a few months only lasted for an hour or two in the end and came to naught, the entire Huaixian city fell into chaos, the Jin army that lost confidence in resistance surrendered one after another, and the cavalry of the Shu army rampaged in Huaixian County, as if entering a no-man's land.

Jia Chong had completely lost the ability to control the Jizhou army, so he had to lead the more than 1,000 personal soldiers he brought this time to break through to the death.

But in the case that the four gates have been sealed, no matter how brave these thousand people are, it will be useless, seeing that there are fewer and fewer personal guards around him, Jia Chong is still a long distance away from the city gate, and it has become a pipe dream to break through.

If he continued to fight, he couldn't see any hope, Jia Chong didn't want to die, so he decided to surrender, but when he just ordered someone to erect a white flag, a stray arrow that jumped out of there happened to pierce Jia Chong's throat.

Jia Chong's eyes widened, and with despair and unwillingness, he fell from the horse.

Jia Chong hung up like this...... (To be continued.) )
