"Don't panic, your majesty is here!"

Before the footsteps could reach him, the shouts came, and it was clearly the thoughtful voice of the captain of the guard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The small hall where Zhou Mi is located is the middle of the Mingde Palace, where the Son of Heaven sleeps, and has always been called the road bed. In this small courtyard, except for the maids and temple people, there are no guards and other people, so until Zhou Mi, who is guarding the door, arrives, it can be said that there is no second man in this courtyard except for Zhou Bian.

There are also guards guarding the door, but Zhou Mi has always lived in the palace to guard the door for the Son of Heaven, so when he heard the sound, he was the first to rush into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a few people in the middle of the courtyard, and the king stood first, followed by Princess Liu and several maids who lit the lamp. Seeing that several people were not dressed properly, Zhou Mi hurriedly lowered his head and arched his hand, "I have disturbed the king, please rest assured, your subordinates have arranged for your personal guards to protect our king, and there is also a message from General Zichang, saying that please don't worry about it, it is only the south of the city or the enemy attack, but the inner city and the palace are safe and sound." ”

"What about Seongnam? It's Gaomen, right? Zhou Bian asked anxiously.

I didn't want to be thoughtful but shook my head, "Your Majesty has already sent someone out of the palace to investigate, and I just left, and I still don't know the news outside the palace." ”

"Didn't receive a report from the defenders in the south of the city?" Zhou Bian continued to ask.

Zhou Mi still shook his head, "Not yet." ”

"Chengnan is Sima Tu in charge, if the Han soldiers send an envoy when they attack the city, this will also come, this Sima Tu is really careless, why not send a messenger, so that the king can know the news ahead. Or, could it be that Sima Tu can't reply to the news? Saying that, Zhou Bian's eyes widened, and his face was full of burnt.

Saying that, Zhou Bian raised his feet and was about to walk out, "Hurry up and prepare the carriage, call the people and horses, this king is going to the south of the city to have a look." ”

was stopped in front of Zhou Mi.

"The king can't, how can the king get out of the palace when he dresses like this?"

Zhou Bian then remembered that he was still wearing pajamas, and he heard the louder and louder riots in the south of the city, but he was closed to news, how could Zhou Bian bear it, but when he thought about it, if he went out of the palace in pajamas, he was afraid that the rest of the soldiers would think something was going on when they saw it. No, you have to be calm all the time, at least in front of others.

So Zhou Bian stomped his feet, turned around and walked towards the palace, "It's okay, Zhou Mi, you are waiting for this king here." ”

Concubine Liu and the others hurriedly followed, leaving only Zhou Mi and the other two guards who came in later to stay in the courtyard.

In the hall, the maids had already lit up the lights of the hall, and it was very bright. Concubine Liu also knew that the matter was urgent, and her own family was not easy to persuade her, so she had to run up quickly, and instructed the maids to find all the king's clothes and armor, and then bowed her head and dressed the king one by one.

The shouting and killing outside kept coming, Zhou Bian was so anxious, he thought that dressing was too slow when he was in a hurry, and he wanted to scold, but when he looked down and saw Concubine Liu's hands still trembling, he must have been nervous in his heart, so he endured it and didn't scold.

About a quarter of an hour later, before he was neatly dressed, Zhou Bian immediately got up and walked out.

As soon as I went out, I saw a few torches, and it turned out that there were a few more people in this courtyard, all of whom were guards, and it seemed that Zhou Mi was also ready.

The group hugged Zhou Bian and walked out of the courtyard, at this time thirty or forty guards followed, and everyone walked quickly to the south, not far, but saw a few people running in front of them.

Immediately, a guard stepped forward to stop drinking, and stretched out his torches to see that it was several Royal Forest Army soldiers and a soldier in ordinary clothes.

After asking clearly, he immediately brought it to the king.

"The king, the villain is under General Zichang, and General Zichang is already guarding the main gate of the palace. The latter was a soldier in the recruit barracks, who said that General Li Ding had sent a message from the front. After several people half-knelt, one of the armored men said.

After finishing speaking, he let out a person behind him, but the latter knelt and did not dare to raise his head, and under the light of the torch, he could see that his body was trembling slightly.

"King, General Li Ding asked the villain to report, the south of the city Gaomen was suddenly attacked by the enemy at night, I don't know how many people came, the Gaomen defenders can't resist, Gaomen has been lost, the Gaomen defenders are forming a formation behind Gaomen to block the enemy, after General Li Ding found out, he has led the team to kill the past, and ordered the villain to report to the king, and he also asked the villain to tell the king that the matter was urgent, and he killed him before receiving the order to transfer troops, and hoped that the king would forgive his sins." The recruit's voice trembled as well.

Li Ding, where is this invitation to sin, it is clearly an invitation to merit! Zhou Bian couldn't help but sneer, for fear that his decisive decision would not be valued and praised by the king, and he specially asked the soldiers to explain. But it's okay, Li Ding's move is still correct, if he has consulted the king or the young master who has the right to transfer troops, and then leads the troops to kill him, I'm afraid it's really too late. In fact, although Li Ding is self-righteous and invites credit, he has to say that he is still a good general, but he still needs to be sharpened.

However, this news was timely, confirming that the harassment in the south of the city was a night attack by the South Korean army, and Zhou Bian also got a lot of information from Zhongzhong, and on the whole, the situation was extremely bad. It's no wonder that the Han army is so quiet today, and sure enough, something is abnormal, and it is a demon, and I really didn't expect the Han army to come to this one, it seems that the Han army also knows that it has been flexible, and it is no longer a hard attack, but a sneak attack instead. But it's strange why I didn't receive a report from the spies in advance.

So Zhou Bian immediately waved his hand and said, "You go down first, sue Li Ding, let him carry this king, block the Han army, and the rest of the king has his own decision." ”

The soldier was not ambiguous, and immediately said yes and then turned around and ran away, although he was not very polite in front of Wang Jia, but he was also a decisive and sharp person, Li Ding would use people.

So the group continued to run in the direction of the palace gate, and more and more guards came, and when they arrived at the palace gate, there were more than 100 people, and it seemed that half of the strength came.

And the palace gate is even brighter with torches, under the palace gate, a group of soldiers surrounded several people, seeing a team of people coming out of the palace, hurriedly greeted them.

When I got closer, I saw that the first one was the young master, and behind him were Zichang and Fan Yu.

"King, it is the enemy attack of Gaomen, I am afraid that Gaomen has been lost at this time, the south of the city has reported, Li Ding's two thousand people have rushed to the first, the old man has sent two thousand more people have set off, Zhang Hu's two thousand people are also gathering, in addition, the old man also ordered Liu Yun, who was guarding Pingmen in the east, to gather troops, the herald has already set off, it is time to arrive." The young master was not ambiguous, and said quickly.

"It's okay to transfer this time, but the east is the key direction of the South Korean army's attack, is it appropriate to transfer Liu Yun away?" Zhou Bian said as he walked, and the group gathered together and headed towards the palace gate.

"The old man in Pingmen let a veteran hold it, it was a centurion who was originally in Chengzhou, Su Poor, this person has also followed the royal family for many years, this time to defend the city several battles, this person is here, Pingmen only needs to deal with it carefully, it should be fine. However, almost all of them are recruits in Gaomen, and they are all recruits when they rush to the end, but they are afraid that the melee battle still has to be played by veterans to withstand it, and the closest is Liu Yun, Liu Yun is brave and good at fighting, which is suitable for deterring the enemy when the soldiers are in close contact, what does the king think the old man thinks? ”

The group talked but the footsteps did not stop, and the young master took a look after speaking, but found that he had arrived under the palace gate.

The young master hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of Zhou Bian, "The king, please stop, the war in the south of the city can be investigated by me, and I hope that the king will sit at the palace gate and wait for me to wait for the news." ”

"The Korean army has already entered the city. How do you tell this king to sit down? Zhou Bian was anxious.

"Don't worry, the king, this news has not yet been confirmed, but it is just what Li Ding's subordinates said, or it may be exaggerated. The king is the weight of the royal family, and he should sit in the center, otherwise this night is dark and chaotic, and if the king is injured, it will be a disaster for the royal family. The young master knelt down on one knee, his armor shining in the firelight.

Seeing that Zichang and the others would also kneel, Zhou Bian hurriedly helped the young master up.

"Well, that's it."

Just as he was talking, another sergeant in the distance rushed to the young master, and in the eyes of everyone, he rushed to the young master.

"Report, General Tu Qiang, who is waiting for the gate, sent an envoy to report, General Tu has received the news, just rushed to Gaomen, Gaomen has been opened by the Han army, rushed in I don't know how many hundreds, General Tu has led the army to rush up, in order to block the Han army in Gaomen, and drive out."

Even the young master was not calm, and grabbed the man, "Where did you send it, where is General Tu Qiang's messenger now, is this news reliable?" ”

The young master was already good at martial arts, and his hands were too strong in a hurry, and the man only felt that his shoulders were going to be crushed, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Young master, it is a villain, and the villain is the adult's personal guard, so he was sent to the south of the city to inquire about the news, and he met the messenger of General Tu Qiang halfway, because the villain ran fast, and after asking about the situation, the villain came back first." ”

Only then did the young master let go, snatched a torch and took a photo, only to see that it was indeed the person beside him.

So the young master turned around and looked at Zhou Bian, "King, the same as the news from Li Ding, it seems that Gaomen has been lost, this should be true, Tu Qiang decided to reinforce Gaomen on his own, it is also wise, but Gaomen has been lost, and it is necessary to urgently increase troops, if the old man orders Liu Yun to hurry over, it will be without further ado!" ”

Zhou Bian nodded, "How far is Pingmen from Gaomen?" ”

"Less than two miles, a quarter of an hour."

"Then let Liu Yun kill it, the soldiers are divided into two ways, one way next to the city wall to kill, the other way to kill from the city wall, Gaomen fell into the hands of the Han army, it must be caused by the Han soldiers climbing the city wall at night, I am afraid that the city wall is still in the hands of the Han soldiers at this time, if you can't recapture a section of the city wall in Gaomen, you can't take back Gaomen. After recapturing the Gaomen city wall and tower, the soldiers can be ordered to throw some burning firewood from the castle tower, which has blocked the Korean army and seized the opportunity to attack the Korean army. ”

"No, obey the king's orders!" As soon as the young master gave up, he ran away to arrange for someone.

The herald ran desperately, and it took half an hour to arrive, and then Liu Yun arrived at the scene in a quarter of an hour, a total of less than half an hour, I hope it will come in time. To tell the truth, Zhou Bian also pinned his hopes on Liu Yun's thousands of people like the young master, because after all, the two thousand people who guarded Gaomen and Yumen, as well as the subordinates of Li Dingwang Yu Fei, were almost all recruits, and they were not fully equipped with weapons, how could they be expected to kill the enemy? Just hope that they can block the Korean army and prevent more Korean troops from entering the city.

But the urgency is not urgent, if it is not possible to recapture Gaomen and seal Gaomen in the morning, I am afraid that a large number of Korean troops will pour into the city, and there will be street battles, Zhou Bian is not afraid of street fighting, although there are more Korean soldiers, but there are more people in Luoyang, but there are fewer weapons and more trouble, I am afraid that Luoyang will kill and injure more people, resulting in a great injury to the vitality of the royal family, which is not what Zhou Bian wants to see.

Thinking that Zhou Bian still raised his feet and climbed the main gate of the palace, he sat in the city tower, this city tower is very tall, looking up, there is no building in front of him that can block the line of sight, just to see the southeast of Luoyang City, countless torches, people are boiling, only to see Zhou Bian's heart is like a fire, but he can't come to the battlefield in person.

I didn't think that as soon as I sat down for a while, the young master also came up, "King, the old man has given an order to Liu Yun, and Liu Yun should be able to set off in half a moment." I just received the latest news, the vicinity of Gaomen has been killed, most of the original Gaomen defenders have been killed and wounded, and they have become a rout, and now they all rely on Li Ding and Tu Qiang's total of 4,000 people, temporarily blocking the Korean army within 50 steps of Gaomen Street. Among them, Li Ding resisted head-on, Tu Qiang came from the west, and stopped the Han army along the city wall, and the Han army was killing to the east, seeing that its purpose should be to seize another gate, I am afraid that it will meet Liu Yun halfway. ”

"Then tell Liu Yun to set up a formation and extinguish the torches, otherwise it will give the enemy a target to attack." Zhou Bian said immediately.

Immediately, another herald ran out, and the young master went inside and knelt down.

"Do you know how many Korean troops have entered the city now? How is our military power distributed? Speaking of which, Zhou Bian remembered that he had fought for so long, why didn't he even have a sand table? Even if you don't have a sand table, you don't even have a decent map, really, the enemies have been killed at the doorstep, but you can't figure out how the home is arranged.

That is, he thought so much in an instant, so Zhou Bian turned around and shouted, "Come on, go and move some bricks for this king." ”

Fan Yu immediately led the order out, but the young master was puzzled, "King, this enemy can't attack here, what's the use of turning around?" "In the young master's understanding, in addition to building walls, bricks are used to smash people.

Zhou Bian smiled faintly, but did not answer.

Fortunately, there was a pile of burnt heads next to the main gate of the palace, and Fan Yu quickly found someone to move hundreds of yuan, and when he wanted to move again, he was stopped by Zhou Bian waving his hand, so much was enough.

The palace gate is still relatively wide in the main hall, and then the firelight, Zhou Bian rolled up his sleeves and picked up a piece to take a look, its color is green, the size is slightly larger than the red bricks of later generations, and it is a little difficult to carry it by himself, this is the commonly used house in the palace, not the wall bricks on the city wall.

So Zhou Bian shouted, Fan Yu and other guards immediately started, two bricks are erected, a brick is horizontally above, this is the city gate, and then expand to both sides, it is the city wall, not far to the east is the corner, the Luoyang city wall is here to the north and to the north, and not far to the west is another south gate - the gate. After setting up this part of the city wall, Zhou Bian made Fan Yu and others to recall, and put out the buildings on both sides of the street in Gaomen, it turned out to be a few shops, after all, it is still next to the city gate, there is a certain amount of commerce, and then go about 80 steps inside is the horizontal Pingmen Street, Luoyang City has a total of six trunk roads with three horizontal and three vertical. And there is a small road along the city wall in Gaomen, which extends along the city wall.

A moment later, a living three-dimensional map was placed in front of everyone, and the young master couldn't help but widen his eyes, is this a miniature version of Luoyang City?

Looking at everyone stunned, Zhou Bian smiled, "Young Master, can you now explain the strength of the enemy army and the layout of several armies of our army on this map?" ”
