Chapter 1617 Tongguan Emergency

Tongguan is in urgent need! Wuguan is in urgent need! Pubanjin is in urgent need!

The urgent documents rushed to Chang'an like snowflakes, and the whole of Chang'an was shocked.

What should come, after about half a year of silence, the Bingzhou army's attack arrived as scheduled. Although this was an expected thing, when the war came again, the people in Guanzhong were still shocked, and fear and panic were written on people's faces. People ran around and told each other, and trembling in panic.

Most people are at a loss. They are like duckweeds, drifting with the waves and unable to help themselves. But when a storm comes, they will be afraid, frightened, and more of a kind of despair.

During war, disasters will come mercilessly on people's heads. Who can survive the catastrophe? This is an unknown number. However, for ordinary people, they are powerless to fight. In this chaotic world, they are as vague as sand and dust, and they cannot control their own life and death destiny.

For more than half a year, Simalun has been busy. Since he took office as a general, affairs in the central army have been pressing on him. Although Simalun is talented, he is still a sixteen-year-old child. With his political experience almost blank, he felt unbearable.

However, the greater the pressure, the more motivation. Sima Lun is young. He has abundant physical strength and energy every day, and has a vigorous vitality. Even if he has been busy all day, he is so tired that he can't straighten his waist. But after a night of sleep and wake up tomorrow morning, he will lose his energy again and have unlimited energy.

Simalun is now like a machine full of power, running wildly. Many times, his confidants couldn't see it and wanted to persuade him to take a break, but Simalun refused to rest. Every day, either bury himself in a pile of documents like a mountain, or run around to inspect military information and deploy defenses. Simalun wanted to use the night as the day, so how could he stop and rest?

These four barriers of defense in Guanzhong are related to the safety of the entire Guanzhong, and this is also the last base area that the Sima family relies on to support. If there is any mistake, the entire Sima family will fall into the tragic fate of the destruction of the clan.

Sima Yi likes to kill the three clans. After Sima Yi defeated the political enemy who opposed the Sima family, he then killed the three clans without mercy, calling it a ruthless destruction. This practice is also the most common practice in this era. It does not leave any future troubles and does not give the enemy any chance to counterattack. While defeating the opponent, he takes one foot so that he will never turn over.

Now that the feng shui turns and the Sima family is at its end, Sima Lun will not think that Cao Liang can be merciful and give the Sima family a chance to continue the incense. Therefore, once Guanzhong is lost and the Sima army is defeated, the entire Sima family will be destroyed and completely disappear into the long river of history.

Everything Simalun does now is to try his best to save the Sima family. Even if there is a last chance, Simalun will not give up hope.

When he was a child, Sima Lun was instilled with the idea of ​​taking over the world. Sima Yi laid a foundation, and everyone hoped to carry forward the situation in Sima Shi. By the time Sima Lun took over the throne, the great things in the world were accomplished, and Sima Lun could achieve a natural result, ascend to the 195th supreme, become independent on behalf of Wei, and let the Sima family reach the peak of glory.

Unfortunately, after Sima Shi replaced Sima Yi, he not only did not carry forward the situation, but instead suffered repeated defeats, lost the city and land, and was defeated thousands of miles. When he reached Sima Lun, it was already a mess. No matter how strong Sima Lun was, he had the ability or wisdom, and if he wanted to reverse the general trend of the world, he would be as good as the sky.

Sima Lun dares not hope to counterattack now. To defeat Cao Liang, his greatest wish is to defend this place in Guanzhong and reserve the last little living space for the Sima family. As for future affairs, it can only do its best and leave it to fate.

Although Simalun had already made strategic defense arrangements, he still had to worry about every detail, because the entire line of defense is the same wooden barrel. The key to determining whether this bucket can hold water is not the best wooden board, but the worst wooden board. It is likely that a bug eye or a loophole will eventually be destroyed.

So Sima Lun did not dare to take it lightly. In the past six months, he had traveled almost all the passes around the Guanlong area, personally investigated the geography, and studied the best defense plan with the border guards, and worked diligently. He devoted all his time and energy to prolong the life of the Sima family.

The sudden invasion of the Bingzhou Army was not beyond Sima Lun's expectations. He even felt that the Bingzhou Army's attack might have been a little late. According to normal circumstances, the Bingzhou Army should have launched an attack when the weather was a little warmer after the New Year. It seems that Cao Liang has made sufficient preparations and is not in a hurry to attack.

The longer the Bingzhou army's attack was delayed, the more they were prepared. Once the war started, the Guanzhong defense line would be under considerable pressure. Therefore, after receiving the news of the Bingzhou army's attack, Simalun immediately rushed to Tongguan and personally supervised the battle. It was related to the life and death of Guanzhong. Simalun dared not have any luck, and he had to do his best.

Hu Fen of Tongguan has made full preparations for combat. Although the Sima army has limited troops and only 30,000 to 40,000 troops guarding Tongguan, the terrain of Tongguan is dangerous. Facing an enemy army that is twice as big as his own, Hu Fen is still full of confidence and patted his chest and told Sima Lun that it is absolutely foolproof.

Sima Lun personally inspected the fortifications in Tongguan. In the past six months, Hu Fen has been repairing the fortifications. In view of the fierceness of the Bingzhou Army's catapults, he reinforced all the walls in Tongguan, used local materials and used large stones to build them. Such walls are extremely solid. Even if the catapults in Bingzhou Army's catapults were bombarded for three days and three nights, they could only shake the fur. Therefore, Hu Fen had great confidence in defending Tongguan.

The biggest feature of Guancheng is that it only needs to withstand one side of enemies, rather than just ordinary cities, as does ordinary cities, so the defensive pressure of Guancheng will be significantly smaller. Hu Fen can concentrate all the defenders on the front and do his best to block the attack of Bingzhou Army.
