In fact, what Han Hu didn't know was that the Zhou royal family was also miserable at this time, and they were also holding on, 17,000 troops had been sent to the city wall, the people had changed hands several times, the catapults were broken on ten crosses, the prepared stones had been used up, and they were already demolishing the houses near the city wall to get bricks. The slightly better recruits in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info have already been sent to the city wall, and if the thousands of recruits in the rear who are not even fully armed are dispatched, even Zhou Bian himself is not confident that the city wall will be messed up by itself.

In fact, the soldiers in the front have been in tense movement, but they are not so prone to heat stroke, so the South Korean army in front can still fight for a while, after all, everyone is basking in the sun and working hard, whoever can fight for a while may win the victory.

Regarding the future, although no one can predict it, maybe Han Hu will be ruthless and press 10,000 people to break the city, but in the end, the Han army can't bear it first, and everything is a certainty.

On the top of the Dingmen Tower, he heard a clear sound of gold in the distance, and Zhou Bian, who had been nervous, stood up suddenly, and finally the royal family held on? As the war went on, Zhou Bian's heart became more and more worried, after all, the royal family did not have much reserve strength. At this time, hearing the sound of the enemy's gold, Zhou Bian was finally able to put his mind at ease.

In the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, the crisp sound of gold was also clearly audible, and it quickly reached the ears of everyone in several miles, not only the soldiers of the royal family were happy in their hearts, and they saw the dawn of victory, but also the Korean soldiers who were struggling to attack the city were also secretly relieved.

Soon, a sergeant ran in from outside the hall, "King, the Han army Mingjin has withdrawn, and the Han army at the north and south gates has begun to retreat. ”

Listening to the sergeant's beaming tone, Zhou Bian also laughed, turned back to the young master and the others and shouted, "Why don't we go out and have a look and send the Han army!" ”

The young master and the others hurriedly replied yes.

Everyone in the hall was walking out, but unexpectedly, another sergeant ran in outside, a little panicked, "The king is not good, and another pair of Han soldiers are rushing straight to Dingding Gate to kill." ”

Zhou Bian suddenly stopped his steps and glanced at the young master, both with suspicious expressions.

"How many people are coming?" The young master asked.

"About a few thousand, less than 10,000."

"What are these people afraid of, let's go out and have a look."

The young master just wanted to speak, but he saw the king wave his hand and walked out first. The young master hurriedly followed.

As soon as I walked out of the hall, I felt a wave of heat rushing towards my face, and when I looked up, the sun shone in the middle of the day, and it was so direct that people couldn't open their eyes. When I walked to the female wall and looked up, I saw thousands of people and horses galloping in the Korean army camp in the distance, and that direction was Dingding Gate.

The young master who came out behind him was already arranging for someone to arrange the defense, shouting for the people to get up and prepare to pull the catapult, and at the same time, the chief also urgently mobilized the 1,000 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who had been hiding from the cold. After thinking about it, Zhou Bian did not stop it, although the thousands of Korean soldiers did not bring any siege equipment, it was still necessary to hurt them as much as possible.

The Korean army on both sides has retreated in an organized manner, and the Korean soldiers who have climbed the city wall either slowly retreat to the ladder, or desperately rush to the depths of the city wall, wanting to use the rest of their lives to pull one more cushion, and the Han soldiers who are still on the ladder immediately jumped off, and the Han soldiers under the city lifted the ladder and ran back, and those who still had shields in their hands were under the shouting of the commander, holding up the shields, and resisting the surrounding comrades for a while, the archers shot the arrows in their hands, and turned around and retreated, everything was in order, and Wang Sunjian and others in the city saw it, He nodded his head again and again.

And the royal family is naturally using the greatest strength to send off the Korean army, the archers once again round the bowstring with their tired arms, and all the people shout trumpets to pounce on the long rope that pulls the catapult, to vent all the anger in their hearts on the flying stones.

The arrow sent the Han soldiers dozens of steps away and stopped, and the catapult was still roaring, although it was not a stone thrown now, but the angular bricks seemed to be more powerful, and a brick could sweep away a piece of land when it landed.

However, the thousands of Han soldiers in the middle rushed over without stopping, waving the weapons in their hands, and had rushed out of a mile in the blink of an eye. The unknown commander of the city and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army suddenly became nervous, occupied the female wall, the bow and arrow in their hands were ready, the king was here, and every soldier swore in his heart that he would never let the Han soldiers take advantage of the chaos to touch the city wall, not a single one.

"King, this team of Korean soldiers has already entered the range of the catapults, do you want to attack?" The young master's voice sounded on the side.

Zhou Bian looked back and smiled, "Fight, of course we have to fight, do our best to beat this king hard, make them arrogant, they are going to retreat, and dare to scare people." ”

The young master smiled, and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

A moment later, a roar rang out from both sides behind him, and it was another catapult to wield its might. A piece of blue-black bricks flew into the air, drew a graceful curve, and smashed it to the ground, instantly smashing over a few pieces of the thousands of Korean troops who were still charging.

Don't underestimate the bricks, the bricks can also kill people. The thousands of Korean troops suddenly stopped their pace and began to retreat.

Where did I rush to, a few hundred steps from the city gate? Zhou Bian couldn't help pouting, could it be that this was to cover the retreat of the South Korean troops on both sides? Could it be that if the royal family wants to exert its power in the middle, it must draw troops from both sides? Obviously not, on both sides of the East Gate and the Peace Gate, the catapults are still happily sending off the Korean army, and they don't feel tired at all.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed sergeant shouted, "King, it's Su Rui again." ”

Zhou Bian looked fixedly, but he could only see the green flag behind the chariot, but he couldn't see the appearance of the general on the chariot at all. Seeing that the chariot seemed to be unwilling to turn around slowly, Zhou Bian wanted to order the catapult to aim at the chariot, but he still didn't say it, it was good if the catapult could attack a mile away, so why bother to force the head? And if you want to shoot far and accurately, it seems that it is still necessary to study the hard crossbow, according to historical records, the most powerful ** crossbow, its power is no less than that of the catapult, and its quasi-head is far more than the catapult, which can be described as the existence of missiles in the era of cold weapons.

Seeing that the three-way Korean army began to scramble to withdraw, leaving behind the corpses in one place, there was a cheer on the head of Luoyang City, and then there were cheers from time to time in Luoyang City, one after another, Luoyang people expressed their joy in their hearts. Luoyang finally held on for another day.

"Hurry up and count the casualties of our army. And immediately arranged for the people to go to the city to relieve the wounded. In the cheers, Zhou Bian had a stern face. The war has come to this point, and I don't know how many soldiers have been lost.

The young master hurriedly answered.

Finally, the three Korean armies went farther and farther, returned to the rear army, and gathered in one place. The Han division army left a small group of people, and then the large army turned back, slowly retreated, and soon disappeared from the sight of everyone in the city.

Among the 5,000 people left, it was a chariot that drove towards the Dingding Gate, obviously discussing the collection of corpses, although the three city gates attacked today, but obviously the Dingding Gate in the middle is the main gate of Luoyang facing east, and only then did I find someone who can call the shots.

Zhou Bian couldn't help but squint his eyes, if it was the son last time, he could ask who his surname was.

I didn't want to wait for a while, but it was a young general, or just a thousand-commander, waving a small flag and going straight to the city gate, saying that it was really about collecting the corpse, and Zhou Bian naturally ordered him to come back to collect the corpse after half an hour.

After arranging, seeing that the sky was hot, Zhou Bian returned to the main hall of the city tower to wait for the result of the young master, and did not want to just enter the main hall, but a woman ran into the hall, but at first glance it was a slave.

Qiao Nu was only wearing a tulle coat and a little beads of sweat on his face, but in this hot day, it was a different scenery. Qiao Nu carried a food box in his hand, and after entering the hall, he knelt down in the direction of the king.

"The king, Qiaonu sealed the order of the queen mother and came to deliver lunch to the king."

But Zhou Bian was strange, "Now that you are fighting, how did you come up as a little woman?" "You must know that on this wall, no one is allowed to wait for unrelated people, let alone a woman.

Perhaps it was the first time to face so many murderous men in armor, Qiaonu was a little nervous and scared, looked around carefully, wanted to stay away from those soldiers, but couldn't find a suitable seat, so he had to shrink his body into a ball and replied softly, "King, it was the Queen Mother who gave me a token, and the maid showed it to the general guarding the city, and then let the maid come up." ”

Seeing Qiao Nu's pityful appearance, Zhou Bian couldn't help laughing, "Come on, let's come, don't you say that the food is coming, why don't you hand it over to the king." ”

Qiao Nu hurriedly stepped forward, walked to the front, and then knelt down again, first took out a silk towel from his body, stretched it out and gently wiped the sweat off his face for Zhou Bian, a burst of girl's fragrance suddenly came to his nose, and that careful appearance made Zhou Bian a little embarrassed, so many subordinates are here, let a woman help him wipe his sweat, how funny!

Zhou Bian glared at the surroundings fiercely, and everyone in the circle lowered their heads, and Zhou Bian nodded with satisfaction. But the Qiao slave didn't care at all, she seemed to have only herself and the king in her heart, and carefully wiped Zhou Bian's face all over before she put away the silk towel with satisfaction, took out the food box, and made a bowl of soup first.

It was still a light chicken soup, which seemed to have been prepared by the Queen Mother, and the soup was fragrant, which immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the people in the hall. After thinking about it, as a king and a child, there should be no problem with eating something first.

So Zhou Bian looked around, but he stared at a guard captain, who was Zhou Tong who had just brought Qiao Nu up.

"Zhou Tong, what do you see?"

That Zhou Tong is Zhou Zhan's younger brother, because he is not very old, so he has been following the king as a guard, hearing the king's voice, he hurriedly whispered, "Is the king a strange villain who brought Sister Qiao to the city tower?" The villain also knew that women were strictly forbidden to enter the camp in the army, but Sister Qiao was the person next to the king, and the villain saw that the Han army had already left anyway, and the king was tired all morning, so he allowed him to come up. If there is a fault, please punish the king! ”

Could it be that his tone was too harsh that caused him to answer the wrong question? Zhou Bian took a sip of chicken soup, but his eyes were still staring at Zhou Tong, but he didn't really blame him.

Zhou Tong is the first group of people close to him, so he naturally recognizes Qiaonu. But at this time, Qiao Nu was also puzzled, "Didn't I show the queen mother's token that you let me go to the city?" ”

Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, "The queen mother's token? Why didn't I see it? Oh, it turns out that the thing in your hand is the token of the Queen Mother. ”

Hearing this, a strange light flashed in Qiao Nu's eyes, but he didn't answer again, but lowered his head and continued to pack up the food in the food box. But Zhou Bian smiled, now his influence in the army occupies an absolute position, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even these guards around him, it is estimated that no one buys the account of the Queen Mother, but Zhou Bian just smiled, but he didn't say anything.

Still thinking about the number of casualties in the army, Zhou Bian took two bites of three, and soon ate a bowl of white rice and a few plates of stir-fried vegetables, and happened to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and saw the young master running back panting.

After waving his hand at the young master, Zhou Bian nodded to Qiao Nu, who immediately understood, quickly packed up the food box, and saluted both the king and the young master before retreating, and Zhou Tong followed and sent it out.

Only then did the young master speak, "Well, the king has to be served by a maid. The king, the casualties in the army have been counted, more than 2,100 people died in the north, more than 520 were seriously wounded, and countless were lightly wounded, more than 2,800 people died in the south, more than 360 people were seriously wounded, and countless were lightly wounded, five people died in the middle, and 320 people were killed and 50 people were seriously wounded. At present, the wounded have been carried down the city, the dead are being carried down the city, the outside of the city has been cleared, and the people are arranging drinking water and lunch. ”

To be honest, this casualty figure is acceptable, it seems that although the number of Korean troops pressed today is more, but the bows and arrows shot are relatively few, perhaps they are more ruthlessly suppressed by catapults, or maybe they are slacking off because they are hiding behind the boxcar shield, so it also leads to the number of casualties in the royal family today that is disproportionate to the first day of the Korean army's attack.

It's just that I don't know what the number of casualties of the Korean army is, but I think that after the Korean army cleans up the corpses in a while, the royal family will have a report.

"Also, the king, at present, our army is short of weapons, when the old man ordered the people to go down to the city, he picked up all the weapons within a hundred steps outside the city wall, but picked up thousands of bows and more than 10,000 long swords, as well as countless armor and shields, all of which were picked up from the dead Han soldiers. It's just that there is not enough time, otherwise you can pick up more. ”

Thinking that he would have a meal, and the Han army who would come to collect the corpse would come after a while, it would be good to be able to do this, so Zhou Bian nodded, "It's done well, if it can be used, it will be sent down immediately, and the good ones will be given to the defenders in the city first, and then to the recruits. This is because the king was negligent and forgot to remind him that he would do this after the Korean army retreated in the future. ”

"No!" received praise from the king, but the young master did not dare to relax, and hurriedly replied yes.

"Let's go, let's go south." Zhou Bian stood up as he spoke, and took the lead in walking out of the hall, and the young master and others hurriedly followed.

The scorching sun seemed to be about to bask the city wall, leaning against the female wall and looking down, but saw that there were dozens of Han soldiers outside the Dingding Gate who were cleaning up the corpses all over the ground. Or don't think it's weird?

In their eyes, it seems that there is only work in their hands, maybe they have seen too many corpses, and they don't know when they will become a member of this land, and the Han soldiers who collected the corpses under the city are all repeating the mechanical movements, not caring if there are people in the city watching at all. Or is it still polite in this era, and the other party will not sneak attack when the two sides collect the corpses, so the Korean soldiers don't care about the people in the city at all? However, the royal family still had to defend it, so the soldiers in the city did not withdraw it.

Shaking his head, Zhou Bian continued to walk south, where the worst war had just taken place, and as a king, I was going to see my soldiers.
