A trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Xu Daofu's face, and he was about to speak, but Lu Xun gently pressed him on the shoulder, and continued: "Okay, Liu Yu, as long as you are willing to truthfully reflect the battle situation here, we will defend the city with all our might, not only for the future, but also for the survival of the present, in order to show sincerity, Senior Brother Xu and I will take a thousand elite disciples to guard side by side with you in this Jin Yong City, life and death together." ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "So, are you willing to completely obey my orders and commands?" ”

Lu Xun smiled: "No problem, since so many Beifu army brothers are willing to obey you and are willing to follow you all the way from Jingkou, we have nothing to say, after all, we know your generals!" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Then let's work together to break the Yan Army." Now, have all the people of Gangshanwubao moved into Luoyang? ”

Lu Xun shook his head: "There are still more than ten dock forts that refuse to move, after all, those cottages are the homes they have built with great difficulty over the years, they think that they will not be able to go back after coming to Luoyang, and they will be squeezed and controlled by the imperial court, so they would rather stay." ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed tightly: "Don't they know that Xiyan Xianbei is cruel and cruel, and he has just suffered a big loss, so he will inevitably seek revenge from these people?" There is only one way to stay! ”

Lu Xun sighed: "People will always be lucky, they either think that their cottage is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, or they think that they can hide in the mountains, escape the military disaster, and wait for Xiyan Xianbei to retreat before coming out, we order the disciples in these villages with canons, let them do everything possible to bring the people out of the village, but they all refuse to obey, those disciples have parents and relatives in the cottage after all, and they can't forcibly carry out our orders, and finally stay with them, I hope they can be auspicious and avoid this catastrophe." , Lao Jun blessed. ”

Xu Daofu and the more than ten high-level disciples behind him also all looked serious, and said in unison: "Lao Jun bless, the Divine Sect Daoist Friends Ji Ren Tianxiang escaped this catastrophe." ”

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then let's discuss the arrangement of defending the city now, this is Jin Yong City, two miles north of the outer city of Luoyang, and Luoyang City are horns of each other, this is on a small hill, the terrain is higher, if the enemy occupies here, you can set up trebuchets to directly attack the city, in this way, the outer city of Luoyang must not be defended, so we must firmly defend here." ”

Xu Dao turned his head and pointed to Luoyang City: "How is Luoyang's defense?" Should you abandon the outer city to defend the palace city, or should you defend the outer city? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "What does Brother Xu have in mind?" If you were asked to guard Luoyang, how would you defend it? ”

Xu Daofu pondered for a while, and said: "Luoyang is a big city, with a circumference of more than 20 miles, if you want to defend on all sides, you need at least more than 20,000 manpower, fortunately, the Xiyan army came from afar, there are many cavalry, few infantry, it is unlikely to surround the four cities, and it is possible to attack the city in the north and west cities, and in the direction of the east city, because we are restrained by Kim Yong City here, we dare not attack, therefore, Luoyang City does not need to invest heavy troops on all sides, as long as the city walls on two and a half sides, other cities like the south city, most of the city walls of the east city, It is only necessary to monitor the city with Ding Zhuang, and if there is a surprise attack by the enemy, the troops prepared in the city can be used to defend the city. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Then according to your arrangement, how many soldiers and horses should be needed in the city?" ”

Xu Dao said with a smile: "Only defend two and a half sides of the city wall, about 10,000 troops, among the people we brought into Luoyang, about 10,000 or 20,000 Ding Nan have received military training and can go to the city to defend, there are 3,000 to 5,000 people in the middle, which can be called elite, even if they go out of the city to fight in a critical time, it is not a problem." ”

Liu Yu laughed: "In this way, your sect not only saved 100,000 people, but also added 20,000 troops to Luoyang City." ”

Lu Xun nodded: "In the troubled times, if you want to protect yourself, you have to become stronger, these Wubao people, this is the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, life is more important than anything else, in addition to farming, practice diligently every day, and go out to reclaim wasteland in the mountains, it is not something that can be completed by a family, it needs to be coordinated and organized, everyone works together, these actually constitute the most basic formation and organization in the army, so we only need to teach them some basic queue operations, self-defense skills, so that they can deal with ordinary horse thieves and bandits." ”

Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, in this way, the combat effectiveness of the people you organized can be compared with the ordinary army temporarily recruited by the Great Jin Dynasty, and the field battle may be insufficient, and the defense of the city is more than enough." ”

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Exactly, we have also stayed in the Beifu army, and have received strict military training, this method of marching and fighting, defending the city, and dealing with it, is also familiar with it, plus the one or two thousand disciples and backbones we brought from Jiangnan, you can organize them in the form of an army according to the village, you are all Beifu army, you should know best, whether an army can have combat effectiveness, it depends on whether the various squads at the grassroots level are led by competent people." ”

Tan Pingzhi said coldly: "Lu Xun, this is a major military matter, it is related to the life and death of 100,000 people, can you be joking, these disciples of yours, it is okay to burn a talisman and preach a word, if you really want to fight, can you command these squads?" Know all kinds of passwords and drums? ”

Lu Xun laughed: "No matter what, we have also stayed in the Beifu Army for a year or two, and there are not just a few of us, but thousands of disciples, joining on a large scale, although most of these people returned to Jiangnan after the Battle of Yecheng, but there are still nearly a thousand disciples, who came to the Central Plains with me, such as this, Mufu, you can introduce yourself." ”

A thin middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing leather armor and armor, carrying a long sword, and an extra layer of leather tied to his shoulders, came out in response, and behind him, there were two teenagers, both of whom were not as old as the weak crown, but they were refreshed and powerful, Liu Yu saw that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of it for a while, but Liu Muzhi behind him said coldly: "I didn't expect that the famous Wuxing clan Shen family actually entered the Heavenly Master Dao, not only by himself, but also with his son, Shen Mufu, you really impressed me." ”

When Liu Yu heard this name, he suddenly realized, this person was still Wu Xing Shen Mufu, who had visited when Liu Muzhi attended his sister-in-law's wedding, and he was also a famous scholar in the local area.
