In 268, the Jin State began to enter the Guanzhong region one after another with reinforcements drawn from all over the country. By the end of January of this year, more than 198,000 people had gathered in the entire Guanzhong (excluding the Tongguan defenders).

Such a large force is mainly divided into two parts at this time. The northern line is the Shibao Army with Qinchuan County as the core, with more than 50,000 people. On the southern front, Sima Wang and Sima Yong corps with Chang'an as the core, with nearly 150,000 troops.

At this time, the Shu Han Guan Yi Army in Yi County was still less than 40,000 people.

After all the troops were adjusted in place, Shi Bao, as the governor of Pingshu, gave an order to the two Sima Wang brothers: immediately surround Yixian, and then start attacking the city. The first attack must be carried out before the tenth day of February, otherwise military law will be engaged!

In fact, there is no need for Shi Bao to give an order, after the cavalry of the last supporting army Youzhou arrived, Sima Wang knew very well: it was necessary to launch a strong attack on Yixian, otherwise, nearly 200,000 troops would be trapped in Guanzhong for a long time, not to mention the problem of food supply, the key is that it is also very dangerous for the Kwantung region to be in a situation of few soldiers for a long time. Their nephew, the Emperor, wouldn't give them much time.

So, on January 25, 268, Sima Wang issued an order for the entire army of the Chang'an Army to be dispatched.

On 26 January, Guan Yi in Yixian County received the 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 about to grow on my body. ”

"No, brother. This level is much drier than our Chengdu side. Where do you get moss? ”

"Hahahaha~~~ Lingxing, why are you so stupid? Okay, let's stop laughing, beat the drum of the gathering generals, and call everyone to come to the meeting. ”

"Whoa!"

Soon, with the beating of the drums of the generals, except for the cavalry led by Zhao Hong and Zhao Yi on the side of the Guan Yi Army, the rest of the generals quickly came to the county government of Yi County.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received the information from Si Wencao that Sima Wang's old turtle in Chang'an is finally about to show his head. Well...... According to the calculations we have gathered in the recent period, the strength of the Jin Kingdom should be between 140,000 and 150,000 this time. Among them, the Jin people's troops were about 120,000, and the rest were 5,000 Xianbei, 10,000 Di, and 10,000 Xiongnu. ”

"Oops! That's so much, good! ”

"It's like, we finally have something to do."

Looking at the people below who were overflowing with joy, Guan Yi nodded with great satisfaction, and then raised his right hand and pointed at Tian Xu: "Zilian, you are the big steward of our army, what is the situation in Yixian County and Anguo City now, you report to everyone first." ”

"Oh, Da Sima, colleagues. In terms of troops, at present, our side has more than 29,000 soldiers in the two cities along the Wei River, and more than 8,000 soldiers from the two generals Zhongyuan and Guowei have been scattered outside and have not returned. Of the 29,000 soldiers, 15,000 were in Yixian and more than 14,000 were in Anguo City. In addition, there were more than 3,000 soldiers and civilians in the two cities. The troops of Zhongyuan and Guowei brought out 13,000 war horses, and there are still more than 3,500 war horses in the two cities."

"In terms of food and supplies, as of yesterday, there were 1.3 million stone of grain and 500,000 stone of hay in the two cities. In addition, according to Da Sima's special instructions a month ago, his subordinates specially asked Hanzhong to transport 600,000 stone beans into the city. In terms of meat, there were 2,200 live cattle and sheep and 1,200 pigs in the two cities. Moreover, according to the special instructions of the Great Sima, a thousand chickens and ducks were raised in each of the two cities. In addition, there are more than 20,000 stones of various types of bacon. Then there is table salt, which currently has a total of 8,000 koku stored. Finally, coal to keep out the cold and all kinds of medicines for internal and external use......"

"In terms of war preparation materials for defending the city, ten ziplines have been erected between the two cities. Wanshi materials can be transferred within one day. As of today, there are 8 million bows and arrows in stock, and more than 20,000 bows and crossbows of various types, including more than 300 heavy crossbows such as bed crossbows. In terms of trebuchets, there are 530 trebuchets of various types above and below the city wall, and more than 20,000 stone bullets have been stored. There are also ...... such as oil and rolling stones."

"In addition, in addition to erecting numerous cement piles on the land within trebuchet range outside the city to hinder the enemy's advance, our troops also reinforced the roofs of all existing houses in the city with cement. At the same time, all material reserve areas have been pulled out of firebreaks. Even if the enemy uses fire, it will not cause a large area of the castle to be burned. ”

"In the end, the original 10,000 people in this city, except for the more than 3,000 people who escaped when our army broke the city, the remaining 7,000 people have been transferred to Hanzhong County by our army, along with the batch of prisoners obtained at the beginning of October. At present, in addition to the soldiers, there are only soldiers and civilians on their own side in the city. Therefore, the last general dared to pat his chest and say that there is absolutely no fine work in the two cities at present. There will be no such thing as opening the inside and opening the city from the outside. ”

"Good, Zilian has worked hard."

"Don't dare, it's all Da Sima's proper command, and all my colleagues are cooperating."

As the secretary of General Sima Zhao's mansion in the past, Tian Xu was once in charge of the material deployment of four or five hundred thousand troops. So the logistics and material dispatch of tens of thousands of people is like a play for him. So this person is also a talent! As far as Deng Ai doesn't know how to use people, a good logistics expert is used by him as a fierce general who charges into battle, which makes Tian Xu miserable and leaves a bad reputation for being greedy for life and afraid of death.

After cleaning up his mood, Guan Yi clapped his hands: "Everyone, now the battle situation is getting clearer and clearer." In this Northern Expedition, our Han Dynasty has taken Longxi, and its control over Liangzhou has reached a certain level. And at this time, the Jin State finally reacted: if they don't take us, they can't enter Longxi. So, in the next few months, we will be besieged by the enemy's army. ”

"Hahaha, brother, I finally have a job to do."

"Yes, brother, although the bows and arrows in our stock this time are not too many, they are enough to be used openly for a long time."

"Yes, yes, this time we are going to make a magnet again to attract heavy enemy troops. When the time comes, I have to see how embarrassed Sima Wang, the old horseman, was when he ran out of food and retreated. ”

"Hahahaha, can he retreat? When the time comes, if you don't run fast and kill by us, you will lose your life! ”

From the day the Fuxing Society was founded, in addition to exterminating the cottage like Qinjiabao, the subsequent battles were all about facing powerful enemies. So after so many years, Guan Yi's team has long formed a positive and optimistic atmosphere. Faced with four times the enemy's strength, none of you here felt nervous.

After everyone laughed at each other for a while, Guan Yi stood up: "Now issue an order." ”

"I'm waiting for Da Sima's order!"

"Zilian, send an order to Guowei and Zhongyuan outside. Their cavalry should not enter the city, let them bring enough dry food and carry out guerrilla attacks on the Guanzhong Plain. Attack and destroy the enemy's food routes as much as possible. If necessary, I can go to Chang'an City for a walk, and I will see if Sima Wang dares to drive all the troops from Chang'an to me. ”

"Whoa!"

"Well, Director Meng, after the meeting, you immediately go out of the city to Zhongyuan and Guowei, this time the cavalry of our army is fighting outside, there will definitely be a lot of injuries, and the placement of these people needs the help of your Huangfu family."

"Whoa! Please rest assured, with the help of our Huangfu's cavalry to guide our army, we will not let Sima Wang's main cavalry force complete the encirclement of 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 were many soldiers from the Jin Kingdom this time, the Xianbei, Di people, and Huns would not fight seriously. This official has already colluded with their leader, and if the situation is critical, you can borrow a way from these aliens to break out. ”

"Whoa! The last general wrote it down. ”

"Good, the next step is the manpower arrangement for the defense of the two cities. Here in Yixian, Benguan, Bo Ding, Fang Bo (Huo Zai), Zilian (Tian Xu), and Zichun (Jiang Su) are stationed. On the side of Anguo City, Ling Xing, Zhongquan (Jiang Bin), Zizhao (Wang Mai), and Zicheng (Luo Xi) were stationed. The commander is the main general, and Zhong Quan is the deputy general. ”

"I'll take my orders!"

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

"Whoa!"

"Zichun."

"The last general!"

"Write to your father, just say that Sima Wang's army is about to complete the siege of Yixian Ercheng, and after today, it is very likely that the news between the two sides will be cut off. Therefore, you should write clearly in the letter, just say that the defense of the general's side will be absolutely safe within half a year, and it can be held on for a year. His main army came to relieve the general, and it was up to him to decide how to do it. The official does not make specific requests. As long as the clearance is completed by the end of December this year. ”

"Whoa!"
