On the mountain road leading from Yizhou County to Yongchang County, there is an endless army marching forward with no end as far as the eye can see.
The rugged mountain forests, winding mountain roads, and tall ancient trees make it seem like a huge maze, with endless twists and turns that are difficult to traverse.
The heavier rain was like a layer of mist, filling the entire mountain forest, making it impossible to see the road ahead.
As the army marched, their morale was completely gone. Apart from the sound of rain, only the dull sounds of footsteps and roaring beasts echoed in the forest.
The rain soaked the soldiers' armor, making them feel heavy and breathless.
The army was marching slowly, and Yong Kai, who was in charge of the central army, frowned.
In the distance, thunder rumbled, and under the heavy rain, there was the sound of roaring tigers and monkeys, and a miserable atmosphere filled the entire mountain forest.
"God, this thief is really not pretty."
Yong Kai had already taken off his armor, leaving only a single piece of clothing.
The cotton armor is heavy, especially when it is covered with rain, so it takes a lot of effort to take a single step.
"Lord, this is good news. Our army is marching slowly, but Meng Huo's rattan-armored barbarian army is marching not too slowly. When they fight against Lu Kai, attacking the city and losing their troops can also be considered a disguised weakening of Meng Huo. With the strength, it will be much easier for the lord to deal with Meng Huo."
The staff beside him said this, as if the slow march was not a bad thing.
"Then we will march slowly. The rain is too heavy. Let's set up camp on the spot!"
Yong Kai had a small thought in his heart, and he followed the trend and began to delay his march.
Outside Yongchang County, Meng Huo, who was marching in the rain, was already at Yongchang County City.
Bang bang bang~
The heavy rain was heavy, and the big raindrops hit the ground, causing blisters one after another. Meng Huo's Tengjia Army stood in the rain, not afraid.
"Ah Huinan sent a messenger into the city and told Lu Kai that our army of one hundred thousand has surrounded Yongchang County. If he doesn't want to die, he should open the city and surrender as soon as possible!"
Meng Huo could march in the rain, but he could not attack the city in the rain.
The city of Yongchang County is three feet high. Among the giant cities in the Central Plains, the height of this city is not worth mentioning, but this is Nanzhong.
There is a three-foot-high city in the south, which is a first-class fortified city. Meng Huo's barbarian army has no experience in attacking cities, and they have no siege equipment. If they attack the city rashly, they can only use human lives. Filled in.
"promise!"
Ah Huinan was eight feet tall, burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a wild appearance. He held a huge mountain-cutting ax in his hand and followed the order.
Not long after, the envoy sent came back with a message from Lu Kai.
"What did Lu Kai say?"
The envoy beat his chest with his right hand, saluted Meng Huo, and said: "Lü Kaiyan, the governor of Yongchang County, the royal army from Chengdu will arrive soon. He wants the leader to understand the situation. It is not too late to surrender now. The city of Yongchang County is deep and has plenty of food and grass. He can hold on to Yongchang County for three years!"
"What an arrogant person. If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink!"
Meng Huo snorted coldly and murmured to Ah Hui: "Let the Han craftsmen build engineering equipment. After the rain slows down, I will wait for the army to attack the city!"
After Yongchang County is captured, he will raise troops with Yong Kai to the Dali Royal City to marry Princess Zhurong!
Thinking of Princess Zhu Rong's stunning beauty, graceful figure, and voice as light as a lark, Meng Huo's heart became hot and his breathing became rapid.
He stared at Yongchang County in front of him.
Even if Yongchang County is difficult to attack, he will still defeat it!
No matter how big the loss is!
In the city of Yongchang County, Lu Kai was wearing armor and sitting on the main seat of the government office. Below him were the prime minister and his wife, the county general Chen Chun, and the barbarian general Gao Chang.
Bang bang bang~
There was rain outside the hall, and the rainstorm continued.
The atmosphere in the hall was heavy and the sound of breathing could almost be heard.
"Fu Cheng, tell me about the situation of military supplies and equipment in Yongchang County."
The Prince of Fu Cheng and his wife stood up and said to everyone: "There is enough food and grass in the county city, which is enough for the five thousand soldiers in the city for three years. There are sufficient equipment to defend the city. The county governor repairs the city and organizes the military all the year round. There are fifty thousand arrows and thousands of armors." Lieutenant, we have five thousand kilograms of kerosene, a thousand rolling logs, and countless weapons."
County Governor Lu Kai looked at County General Chen Chun again.
"General Chen, how are the defenders of our county and city doing?"
“I heard that the city was under siege and that all my soldiers were fearless and fearless. Many people in the army advised me to prepare to take advantage of the rain to launch a sneak attack when the barbarian army Meng Huo’s foothold was not stable, so as to attack instead of defend! "
"Good soldiers!" Sheriff Lu Kai heard this and clapped his hands.
"Good son-in-law, if there is no civil strife in Yongchang County, the city can be defended for at least three years. Now that the young master has come with a large army, you must calm down the barbarians in the city. If there are any who dare to gather people to cause chaos..."
Sheriff Lu Kai's eyes flashed coldly, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Don't worry, father-in-law!"
Of course the Yi general Gao Chang knew what Lu Kai meant.
"Although I am a barbarian, I was valued by the county governor so that I could become a county general from a slave. My father-in-law did not consider my humble background and married his daughter to me. Gao Chang could not repay my father-in-law's kindness even if he died a hundred times. If anything happens, if If any barbarians dare to cause trouble, I will kill them quickly!"
"good!"
He called everyone into the hall to unify their thoughts.
If the people in the city are not unified, no matter how much food and grass, no matter how many defensive tools are used, it will be useless.
And with people's hearts united, Yongchang County is the real iron bastard. Want to capture it?
dream!
I'll knock out a few of your teeth first!
"Chen Chun, Gao Chang, you must be ready to fight at any time. Fu Chengduo will prepare gold juice. When the rain stops, the traitor Meng Huo will start to attack the city!"
"promise!"
Everyone followed the order and left!
....
Yizhou County.
Heqing Walled City.
Liu Chan listened to the reports of Fei Yi and Dong Yun.
"There are 200,000 stones of grain and grass in the city's treasury, ten thousand catties of five baht coins, three hundred catties of gold, thousands of pieces of cloth, thousands of armors, countless arrows, and countless swordsmen..."
"Sir, that's all."
that is all?
Liu Chan's face was grinning from ear to ear.
"Counting the land in this county, it's quite a lot."
This Yong Kai has the attributes of a hamster, right?
Crazy hoarding of food and grass?
One Han stone is about 30 kilograms. Generally speaking, normal people need at least 400 grams of rice every day to survive. Because they are soldiers, and in ancient times, there were not as many kinds of military rations as there are in modern times. Each person eats 4 kilograms a day, and 30 people eat one stone a day.
In other words, 100,000 shi is enough to feed 100,000 people for one month, and 200,000 shi is enough to feed 100,000 people for two months.
and...
The remaining grain and grass in the treasury were what was left after Yong Kai's army took them away.
The original number is probably more!
"The Heqing Walled City in Yizhou alone is enough to support our army. If we go and inform Chengdu, there is no need to transport food over."
The cost of transporting grain from Chengdu to Nanzhong is astronomical.
The most ideal thing in a war is to lose food to the enemy, and Liu Chan did this in the first month after entering Nanzhong.
