Chapter 48 The county and city work together to defeat the enemy because of food!

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 sound 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 were sounds of roaring tigers and monkeys, and a miserable atmosphere filled the entire mountain forest.

"God, this thief is really not beautiful."

Yong Kai had already taken off his armor, leaving only a single piece of clothing.

The cotton armor is heavy, especially when it is wet 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 as a disguised weakening of Meng Huo's army.

If you have enough strength, it will be much easier for my lord to deal with Meng Huo."

The staff beside me said this, as if the slow march was not a bad thing.

"Then we will march slowly. The rain is too heavy, so we can set up camp on the spot!"

A small thought arose in Yong Kai's mind, and he took advantage of the situation and began to delay his march.

Meng Huo, who was marching in the rain outside Yongchang County, had already arrived at Yongchang County.

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 Hui Nan, send a messenger into the city and tell Lu Kai that our army of 100,000 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 huge 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 equipment to attack cities. If they attack the city rashly, they can only use human lives.

Filled in.

"promise!"

Ah Hui'nan 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 Chengdu royal army 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 defend 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 and Yong Kai will raise troops to the Dali Royal City to marry Princess Zhu Rong!

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 hard 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 Yi general Gao Chang.

Bang bang bang~

It was raining heavily outside the hall, and it was raining heavily.

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 guard repairs the city and organizes the military all the year round. There are fifty thousand arrows and thousands of armors."

Lieutenant, five thousand gold pieces of kerosene, a thousand pieces of rolling wood, and countless swordsmen."

Sheriff Lu Kai looked at Commander 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 brave and fearless. Many people in the army advised me to prepare to take advantage of the rain and attack the barbarian Meng Huo while his foothold was not stable, so as to attack instead of defend!

"

"Good soldiers!" Sheriff Lu Kai heard this and clapped his hands.

"My dear 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 appease the barbarians in the city. If there are any who dare to gather people to cause chaos."

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the county governor Lu Kai, 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. 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 tools are used to defend the city, it will be useless.

And if people's hearts are united, Yongchang County is the real iron bastard. Do you want to capture it?

dream!

I’ll knock out a few of your teeth first!

"Chen Chun, Gao Chang, you must be ready to go to war 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 from Fei Yi and Dong Yun.

"There are two hundred thousand stones of grain and grass in the treasury of the city wall, ten thousand catties of five baht coins, three hundred catties of gold, a thousand pieces of cloth, a thousand pairs of armor, arrows, and countless swordsmen."

"Sir, that's all."

That much?

Liu Chan was smiling so much that he couldn't even open his mouth 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 kilogram of rice is about 30 kilograms. Generally speaking, normal people need at least 400 grams of rice every day to survive. Since they are soldiers, and there were not as many kinds of military rations as in modern times in ancient times. Each person eats 4 kilograms a day, and 30 people eat one kilogram a day.

.

In other words, 100,000 dan is enough to feed 100,000 people for one month, and 200,000 dan is enough to feed 100,000 people for two months.

and

The remaining grain and grass in this treasury were left after Yong Kai's army took them away.

The original number was probably even more!

"The Heqing Walled City in Yizhou alone is enough to provide supplies for our army. We will inform Chengdu that 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.
