The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 258 Defense of Mei County ([-])

The time has entered 268 years, and the reinforcements dispatched by the Jin State from various places began to enter the Guanzhong area one after another.By the end of January of this year, more than 19 people (excluding Tongguan defenders) had gathered in the entire Guanzhong.

Such a huge force is mainly divided into two parts at this time.The northern line is based on the Shibao Army with Qinchuan County as the core, with more than 15 people.The southern line is the Sima Wang and Sima Yong Corps with Chang'an as the core, with a strength of nearly [-].

At this time, the Shuhan Guanyi Army in Mei County still had less than 4 people.

After all the troops were adjusted in place, Shi Bao, as the governor of Pingshu, gave an order to the two brothers Sima Wang: Immediately surround Mei County, and then start attacking the city.The first attack must be realized before the tenth day of February, otherwise the military law will be engaged!
In fact, there is no need for Shi Bao to give orders. After the cavalry from Youzhou, the last support army, arrived, Sima Wang knew very well: it is necessary to launch a strong attack on Mei County, otherwise, nearly 20 troops will be trapped in Guanzhong for a long time. When it comes to food supply issues, the key is that it is very dangerous for the Kanto region to be in a situation of few soldiers for a long time.Their nephew the emperor would not give them much time.

Therefore, on January 268, 25 AD, Sima Wang issued an order for the entire Chang'an Legion to dispatch.

On January 26, Guan Yi in Mei County received news that Sima Wang's entire army had been dispatched.

"Hey! It's finally here. I've been waiting here for more than three months, and the moss is almost growing out of my body."

"No, brother. This pass is much drier than our Chengdu side. Where can you grow moss?"

"Hahahaha~~~ Ling Xing, why are you so stupid? Well, stop joking, and beat the Jujiang Drum to call everyone to discuss matters."

"Here!"

Soon, with the beating of the Jujiang drum, except Qianhong and Zhao Yi led the cavalry out, the rest of the generals of the Guanyi Army quickly came to the county government office of Mei County.

"Everyone, I just received the information from Si Wencao that the old tortoise Simawang in Chang'an is finally about to show his head. Well... Calculated based on the information we have collected recently, the strength of Jin's troops this time It should be between 15 and 12. Among them, there are about [-] troops from the Jin people, [-] from the Xianbei, [-] from the Di people, and [-] from the Xiongnu."

"Oh! There are so many here, okay!"

"Yes, we finally have something to do."

Looking at the people below who were beaming with joy, Guan Yi nodded in relief, then raised his right hand and pointed at Tian Xu: "Zilian, you are the chief steward of our army. How is the situation here, you first report to everyone."

"Here, Da Sima, colleagues. In terms of military strength, we currently have more than 5000 soldiers in the two cities along the Wei River. In addition, there are more than [-] soldiers from the two generals Zhongyuan and Guowei. They did not come back outside. Of the [-] soldiers, [-] were in Mei County, and more than [-] were in Anguo City. In addition, there were more than [-] civilians accompanying the army in the two cities. Zhong Yuan, Guowei's troops brought out [-] horses, and there are still more than [-] horses in the two cities."

"In terms of food supplies, as of yesterday, there were a total of 130 million shi of grain and 50 shi of hay in the two cities. In addition, according to Da Sima's special order a month ago, his subordinates specifically asked Hanzhong to transport 60 shi of beans into the city. Meat In terms of food, there are 1000 live cattle and sheep in the two cities, and [-] to [-] pigs. And according to the special instructions of Da Sima, each of the two cities raised [-] chickens and ducks. In addition, there are more than [-] shi .Then there is table salt, and there are currently a total of [-] stones stored. Finally, there are coals to keep out the cold and various medicines for internal and external use..."

"In terms of materials for the defense of the city, ten flying cables have been erected between the two cities. Ten thousand stone materials can be transferred within a day. As of today, the cumulative inventory of bows and arrows is 800 million, and there are more than 530 bows and crossbows of various types. Among them, there are more than [-] heavy crossbows such as bed crossbows. In terms of trebuchets, there are [-] trebuchets of various types on and off the city wall, and more than [-] stone bombs have been stored. There are also kerosene, rolling stones, wood, etc..."

"In addition, in addition to erecting countless cement piles on the land within the range of the trebuchet outside the city to hinder the enemy's advance, our army also cemented the roofs of all existing houses in the city. At the same time, all material storage areas were pulled out. Firebreak. Even if the enemy uses a fire attack, it will not cause a large area of ​​the city to be burned."

"Finally, of the original [-] people in the city, except for the [-] people who escaped when our army broke the city, our army has already transferred all the remaining [-] people to the Hanzhong County. At present, apart from the soldiers in the city, there are only the soldiers of the army. Therefore, the last general dares to say that there is absolutely no meticulous work in the two cities at present. There will be no such thing as opening the city with internal cooperation and external cooperation."

"Good, Zilian has worked hard."

"Don't dare, it's all under the command of Da Sima, and all colleagues are working together."

As the secretary of General Sima Zhao's residence in the past, Tian Xu was in charge of the distribution of supplies for an army of 50 million troops.So the dispatch of logistics supplies for tens of thousands of people is like a game to him.So this person is also a talent!Deng Ai didn't know how to employ people, and he used a good logistics expert as a fierce general who charged into battle, which made Tian Xu miserable and left a bad reputation of being greedy for life and afraid of death.

After clearing up his mood, Guan Yi clapped his hands: "Everyone, the situation of the battle is becoming more and more clear now. In this Northern Expedition, my big man has already captured Longxi, and has controlled Liangzhou to a certain extent. And at this time, the Jin Kingdom finally They came to their senses: they will not be able to enter Longxi unless they take us down. Therefore, in the next few months, we will be besieged by the enemy's army."

"Hahaha, brother, I finally have work to do."

"That's right, brother, although we don't have too many bows and arrows in stock this time, they are enough to be used openly for a long time."

"Yeah, yeah, this time we're going to make a magnet to attract the enemy's heavy troops to attack. We'll have to see how embarrassing this old man Sima Wang is when he runs out of food and retreats."

"Hahahaha, can he retreat? When he is chased by us, he will lose his life if he doesn't run faster!"

From the day the Fuxing Society was founded, apart from destroying cottages like Qinjiabao, every subsequent battle had to face powerful enemies.So after so many years, Guan Yi's team has formed a positive and optimistic atmosphere.Facing the enemy with four times the strength of our own, none of you present feel nervous.

After everyone chatted and laughed with each other for a while, Guan Yi stood up and said, "Issuing the order now."

"I'll be waiting for the order from the great Sima!"

"Zilian, send an order to Guowei and Zhongyuan outside. Their cavalry should not enter the city. Let them carry enough dry food and launch a guerrilla attack on the Guanzhong Plain. Harass and destroy the enemy's food roads as much as possible. If necessary, go Let’s take a stroll around Chang’an City, I’ll see if Sima Wang dares to bring all the troops from Chang’an to me.”

"Here!"

"Well, Director Meng, after the meeting is over, you should immediately leave the city to go to Zhongyuan and Guowei's place. This time, our army's cavalry will definitely suffer from many injuries and illnesses. We need the help of your Huangfu family to resettle these people. "

"Here! Da Sima, don't worry. With the help of my Huangfu's family to guide our cavalry, Sima Wang's main force of cavalry will not be able to encircle our army."

Very good and very smart.I just want you local snakes to be the leading party.

"Well, Director Meng doesn't have to worry. Although there are many soldiers from the Jin Kingdom this time, none of the Xianbei, Di people, and Huns will fight seriously. I have already made contact with their leaders. If the situation is critical, you should stay outside It is absolutely possible to borrow a way from these alien races to break through."

"Here! I will write it down at the end."

"Shan, the next thing is to arrange the defense personnel of the two cities. Here in Mei County, the official, Bo Ding, Fang Bo (Huo Zai), Zi Lian (Tian Xu), and Zi Chun (Jiang Su) are stationed. On the other side of An Guo City, the order Xing, Zhongquan (Jiang Bin), Zizhao (Wang Mai), and Zicheng (Luo Xi) are stationed. Lingxing is the chief general, and Zhongquan is the deputy general."

"I'll wait for orders!"

"Zilian, give an order to the friendly troops in Hanzhong to stop all supplies from now on, and then shrink their troops to do a good job of defending the passes on the northern line of Hanzhong."

"Here!"

"Zichun."

"The end is here!"

"Write a letter to your father, saying that Sima Wang's army is about to complete the encirclement of [-]% of Mei County. After today, it is very likely that the news from both sides will be cut off. Therefore, you have to write clearly in the letter, and say that this will be the defense of this side. , it will be absolutely safe within half a year, and it can be persisted in a year. His main corps will come to rescue the general. How to operate it is up to him to decide. The officer does not make specific requirements. As long as it is completed before the end of December this year It's good to clear the siege."

"Here!"
