A breath of despair permeated the Jin army, it was a feeling of desolation in the place of death, Sima Jun, who was once full of ambition and confidence, sat in front of a bonfire, the raging flames drove away the cold of winter, but could not dispel the haze in Sima Jun's heart.
The red firelight reflected Sima Jun's wooden and haggard face, only one day, Sima Jun experienced the ups and downs from the peak of the wave to the trough of the waves, I thought I had caught a big fish, but I didn't expect that I would become a fish in someone's net, such a conversion made Sima Jun unexpected.
Until now, Sima Jun has also groped for how many men and horses the Shu army has dispatched, but the Shu army is surrounded on all sides, almost surrounded by a water, although the Jin army has repeatedly wanted to break through the shackles, but it is powerless, the defense of the Shu army is not leaky, Sima Jun can not find any flaws, paid a very heavy price, but is still trapped here.
Now the situation of the Jin army is quite not optimistic, the army of seventy or eighty thousand is trapped in this narrow strip, there is not much room for maneuver at all, what's worse is that because it is a lightly armed pursuit, the whole army only carries three days of rations, there is no extra grain and grass at all, all counting on the replenishment of the baggage troops behind, now the army is besieged in Anguo, the grain road is cut off, if you can't break out of the siege within three days, these 70,000 or 80,000 people will not be surrounded and annihilated by the Shu army, and will be trapped and starved to death.
If there is plenty of grain and grass, Sima Jun will not be too worried, after all, there are 170,000 troops of Ma Long and Wenyang on the left and right, after they hear the news, they will definitely come to the rescue, as long as the Jin army should be combined with the outside, it is not difficult to break the encirclement of the Shu army, the difficulty is that the time is pressing, 780,000 people and 780,000 mouths, without grain and grass, the army will be scattered and chaotic, without the Shu army to attack, the Jin army itself will collapse.
Sima Jun sat all night, never closed his eyes all night, and when the sky was light, he ordered the army to assemble, ready to fight again, and fight a bloody way.
Today, the main target of the Jin army is Hengshui in the north and Dongping Mountain in the east, and at the same time, it also continues to maintain the pressure of attacking Guashui in the south and Xidieshan in the west.
Sima Jun never believed that the Shu army had enough troops to fight the siege war, the Shu army surrounded the Jin army in all directions, there must be a weak point in the force, his intention to attack on all sides was to confuse the public, so that the Shu army could not grasp the real direction of the Jin army's breakthrough, as long as the attack was in the right direction, find out the weak point of the Shu army, and it was not difficult to break through the siege.
Sima Jun continued to send troops to attack Guashui and Xidieshan, the purpose of which was to hold back the Shu army in this direction as much as possible and not give them the opportunity to reinforce to the north and east, while the main target of the Jin army was to lock on Hengshui, which had not been fought yesterday, and Dongping Mountain, which had only carried out the first tentative attack.
The defense of Xidieshan and Guashui has made the Jin army suffer, and they have failed to take it after repeated attacks, so Sima Jun naturally no longer has any hope, but the Hengshui Jin army in the north has not yet been beaten, and Sima Jun is looking forward to breaking through from here.
In Sima Jun's opinion, the Shu army's defense of Hengshui should be lax, after all, even if it is successfully broken through by the Jin army, it will only enter the hinterland of the Shu army, and it will still be difficult to escape the siege.
But as soon as Fang fought, Sima Jun knew very well that he was wrong, Hengshui's defense was not inferior to Guashui, the Shu army sent on the north bank of Hengshui, it was the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Longxi Army, the Shu army still used a partial van to block the north bank of Hengshui, weaving an arrow net on the river surface, completely sealing the Jin army's way to cross the river.
Compared with Guashui, the flow speed of Hengshui is slower, but the river surface is two to three times wider than Guashui, and the water depth of Hengshui is similar to that of Guashui, but because the river is wider, it is almost difficult to find a route that can be crossed in Hengshui.
Even the most ordinary soldiers of the Jin army understand the predicament that the army is in now, if they can't fight their way out, all their bones will be buried here. There is pressure to have motivation, in the face of death, no one dares to have the slightest reservation, even if the water of Hengshui is very deep and piercing, those Jin soldiers did not hesitate to jump down, dozens of zhang wide river, densely packed with people.
But as soon as they fell into the water, they were greeted by the dense rain of arrows of the Shu army, and the Yuanrong crossbow arrows equipped by the Tiger Cavalry Army were very powerful, and they could shoot nine targets with ten arrows, and hundreds of Yuanrong crossbows were fired at the same time, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The screams continued to come out of the constant water, many Jin soldiers sank into the river, and never had a chance to stand up, and the entire wide river, floating, all of them were the corpses of the Jin army, and the river was stained red with blood.
Fu Zhi is very leisurely staying on the north bank, this time leading the Jin army of 80,000 horses into the encirclement, Fu Zhu is in the first place, compared to blocking on the north bank of Hengshui, the latter task is easier and simpler, as long as you hold the Hengshui embankment, you can completely trap the Jin army here.
It was Deng Zhong of the Longxi Army who did Fu Zhi's attack, compared to Fu Zhi's relaxed appearance, Deng Zhong was still a little tight, he looked at the Jin army who was crossing the river with a solemn expression, and gave the order heavily, ordering the Longxi Army to defend the north bank, take strict precautions, and block all attempts to cross the river.
"General Deng, take it easy, the Jin people can't escape now, don't look at the Hengshui melon water is not a big river, but the Jin army wants to cross it, but it is a fool's dream, look, today's Hengshui is the place where they are buried!" Fu laughed and persuaded Deng Zhongdao.
Deng Zhong smiled, no one had no reason to believe that the Jin army still had a chance, under the strict defense of the Shu army, they had no way out at all.
No matter how many troops the Jin army invested, it seemed that it could not satisfy Hengshui's appetite, swallowing these Jin soldiers, for the wide river, it was a piece of cake, there were more and more floating corpses, and the river was almost silted up, but no one in the Jin army could set foot on the north bank.
