Shuhan

Chapter 48 The counties and cities are united, because the food is in the enemy's hands!
On the mountain road leading from Yizhou County to Yongchang County, there is an endless army marching that can't see the end at a glance.

The rugged mountain forest, the winding mountain road, and the tall ancient tree forest seem to be like a huge maze, and the endless winding road makes it difficult to cross.

The more majestic heavy rain was like a layer of fog, permeating the entire mountain forest, making it impossible for people to see the road ahead.

When the army marched, there was no morale. Except for the sound of rain, there were only dull footsteps and roaring beasts echoing in the forest.

The rain drenched the armor of the soldiers, making people feel heavy and breathless.

The marching speed of the army was slow, and Yong Kai, who was sitting in the middle army, frowned.

In the distance, thunder rumbled, and under the heavy rain, the sound of tigers howling and monkeys screaming was startled, and the miserable atmosphere permeated the entire mountain forest.

"This thief is really not beautiful."

Yong Kai had already taken off his armor, leaving only a single shirt.

The cotton armor is heavy, especially after it is covered with rain, it takes a lot of strength to take a step.

"My lord, this is good news. My army is marching slowly, but Meng Huo's rattan armored barbarian army is not slow. When they fight against Lu Kai, the attack will consume their strength, which can be regarded as weakening Meng Huo in disguise. With strength, it will be much easier for the lord to deal with Meng Huo."

After being told by the staff beside him, it seems that the slow march is not a bad thing.

"Then I'll march slowly, the rain is too heavy, so let's set up camp on the spot!"

A small thought arose in Yong Kai's heart, and he followed the trend and began to delay the march.

Outside the city of Yongchang County, Meng Huo, who was marching in the rain, was already under the city of Yongchang County.

clap clap~
The heavy rain was majestic, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, causing blisters one after another. Meng Huo's Tengjia army stood in the rain without fear.

"A Huinan, send a messenger into the city and tell Lu Kai that our army of [-] has already surrounded the city of Yongchang County. If he doesn't want to die, he should open the city and surrender!"

Meng Huo could march in the rain, but he couldn't attack the city in the rain.

The city of Yongchang County is three feet high. Among the huge cities in the Central Plains, the height of such a city is not enough, but this is Nanzhong.

There is a three-foot-high city in Nanzhong, which is a first-class fortified city. Meng Huo's barbarian army has no experience in siege, nor does it have the equipment to attack the city. If they attack the city rashly, they can only use their lives to kill them. filled.

"promise!"

A Huinan was eight feet tall, with a burly figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a wild appearance. He took a mountain-breaking ax in his hand and led the way.

Not long after, the dispatched envoy returned with Lu Kai's message.

"What did Lu Kai say?"

The envoy beat his chest with his right hand, bowed to Meng Huo, and said: "Lu Kai, the governor of Yongchang County, said that the king of Chengdu will arrive soon. If the leader understands the situation, it is not too late to surrender. The city of Yongchang County is deep and the food and grass are abundant. He sticks to Yongchang County City, and he can defend it for three years!"

"What an arrogant person, don't eat a toast and eat fine wine!"

Meng Huo snorted coldly, and murmured to Ah Hui, "Let the Han craftsmen make engineering tools. After the rain slows down, I'll wait for the army to attack the city!"

After Yongchang County is taken down, he will raise troops with Yong Kai to Dali King City to marry Princess Zhurong!
Thinking of Princess Zhu Rong's stunning beauty, that graceful figure, and that voice as light as a lark, Meng Huo's heart was burning with enthusiasm, and his breathing became short of breath.

He stared at Yongchang County City in front of him.

No matter how difficult it is to attack Yongchang County City, he will take it down!
No matter how big the loss is!
In the city of Yongchang County, Lu Kai was wearing armor, and sat on the head of the main hall of the mansion. Below him, the Fu Cheng Wang and his wife, the county general Chen Chun, and the barbarian general Gao Chang ranked in order.

clap clap~
There was a lot of rain outside the hall, and the torrential rain continued.

The atmosphere in the hall was heavy, and the sound of breathing was almost audible.

"Fu Cheng, tell me about the situation of the military rations and equipment in Yongchang County."

The Fucheng Wang and his wife got up and said to the crowd: "the county has enough food and grass, which is enough for five thousand soldiers in the city for three years, and there are enough guards. Deputy, five thousand pieces of gold for fire oil, one thousand pieces of rolling wood, and countless swords and soldiers."

The county guard Lu Kai looked at the county general Chen Chun again.

"General Chen, how about the defenders of our county?"

"I heard that the city was besieged, and all the soldiers under my command were brave and fearless. Many people in the army suggested to me that they were going to take advantage of the rain, and when the barbarian army Meng Huo's foothold was not stable, they would sneak attack and attack instead of defense! "

"Good soldier!" Sheriff Lu Kai applauded upon hearing this.

"My 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 have to appease the barbarians in the city. If anyone dares to gather a crowd to make trouble."

The county guard Lu Kai's eyes flashed coldly, and the meaning was self-evident.

"My father-in-law, don't worry!"

Yi general Gao Chang certainly knew what Lu Kai meant.

"Although I am a barbarian, I am valued by the county guards, so I can become a county general from a slave. My father-in-law doesn't care about my humble background, so he married his daughter to me. If there are barbarians who dare to make trouble, I will kill them and hurry up!"

"it is good!"

He summoned everyone to the hall to unify their thinking.

If the hearts of the people in the city are not in harmony, no matter how much food and grass there are, no amount of defense equipment will be useless.

And if the hearts of the people are united, then Yongchang County City is the real iron king, want to take it down?
dream!

I'll knock out some of your teeth first!
"Chen Chun, Gao Chang, you must be ready to fight at any time. The Prime Minister should go and prepare gold juice. When the rain stops, the traitor Meng Huo will start attacking the city!"

"promise!"

Everyone is leading the way!

Yizhou County.

Heqing Walled City.

Liu Chan listened to Fei Yi and Dong Yun's report.

"The treasury of the Walled City has 20 stone grain and grass, five baht coins, ten thousand catties, three hundred catties of gold, one thousand pieces of cloth, one thousand pairs of armor, countless arrows, and countless weapons."

"Young master, that's all."

that is all?

Liu Chan couldn't close his mouth with a smile on his face.

"It's too much for this county."

This Yong Kai is of hamster nature, right?

Crazy hoarding of food and grass?
A Han stone is about 30 kilograms. Generally speaking, normal people need at least 400 grams of rice per day to survive. Because they are soldiers, and the ancient times did not have such a variety of military rations as in modern times.Each person eats 4 Hanjin a day, and 30 people eat one stone a day.

In other words, 10 shi is enough for 20 people to eat for a month, and 10 shi is enough for [-] people to eat for two months.

And
The food and grass left in the treasury were left over after being taken away by Yong Kai's army.

The original number, I'm afraid more!
"Just one place in Heqing City Walled City in Yizhou is enough to support our army. Go to inform Chengdu, and there is no need to bring food over."

From Chengdu to Nanzhong, the consumption on the road is astronomical.

The most ideal thing to do in war is to lose food to the enemy, and in the first month of entering Nanzhong, Liu Chan achieved this.
