And this is naturally the case, there is a loud cheer on the city wall, a black tide under the eyelids slowly moving away, and the corpses discarded under the city wall, all reminding the Korean army that the first day of siege ended in failure, but the royal family successfully held on to the first day.

It's only the first day, but it's a good momentum, and if you hold on for one day, you'll win, and if you keep holding on every day, you'll be victorious.

Above the city gate, Zhou Bian calmly looked at the Han army forming a large array, gradually withdrew from the killing range of the bow and arrow on the city wall, and slowly withdrew from the attack range of the catapult, and then accelerated his speed and quickly returned to the formation. ”

And the last column of the army is the chariot, looking from a distance, I saw that the people on the chariot were still looking at the head of Luoyang City from afar, and only after a while did they turn the head of the chariot and catch up with the large army and return to the team.

Suddenly, I heard Fan Yu shouting, "King, the general on the chariot at the end seems to be the general who came to the city gate in the morning to shout, the one who called himself Su Rui." ”

Su Rui? It's a little familiar, it seems that I heard Liu Qiu mention it in the letter, and it should be one of the more famous young generals in South Korea. It's a bit of a shame that I didn't shoot it, but it's okay, wait until next time.

The Han army finally approached his array, but within a hundred steps of the city wall, there were corpses all over the ground, from two hundred steps away, all the way to the city wall, and the further down the city wall, the more corpses, some of the places that crossed the ladder, there were several thick layers, and of course, there may be Luoyang soldiers.

Although he knew that it was difficult to count, Zhou Bian still rushed to the young master who rushed over and ordered, "Young master, arrange for the number of people to go down to the city and how many corpses there are." ”

After a pause, he turned his head to take a closer look, but found that the young master's armor was covered with bloodstains, and there was an arrow stuck in his left shoulder that had not been pulled out, and the shaft of the arrow shook wantonly with the young master's hand. Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel distressed, "The young master can sit behind the city wall, how dare the young master work so hard?" ”

The young master arched his hand and said, "The king is still on the front line, how can the old man be willing to be behind the city." The old man didn't matter, he also killed a dozen enemy soldiers today, but the blood stains were all someone else's. ”

"Okay, the young master has worked hard, don't do it next time, I know you are superb in swordsmanship, but after all, you are old, so leave the killing of the enemy to the young soldiers." Now that the ROK army has retreated, we can count the casualties of our army. Although the Han army retreated, but did not leave, except for some seriously injured, and really powerless to help down the city, the rest of the people rested on the city wall, and then ordered the people to send food and water, now it is past noon, thirsty unbearable, it is really good to take advantage of this time to use some soup. Zhou Bian then issued a long list of orders.

After seeing the young master leave, Zhou Bian looked into the distance a little nervously, two miles away, the Korean army was still there, and it did not retreat. I don't know what else they have to do, so Zhou Bian didn't dare to relax at all.

The two armies faced each other two miles apart, and although the heat was unbearable, neither retreated to a shady place. And as time passed, the cheers on the city walls gradually became smaller, and finally stopped, defeating the powerful Korean army, although the soldiers were still excited, but after all, there was not much strength left.

But soon, there was a soft cry of soldiers behind him, and when I looked back, it turned out that it was the people who had come to the city with buckets and lunch boxes, which aroused the gratitude of the soldiers.

Be good to people, only then can someone work hard, and after smiling, Zhou Bian turned his head to look at the Han army again. Unexpectedly, a moment later, a noise in the distance alarmed Zhou Bian.

What is it? Is it an uneven diet? Anyway, the Han army had retreated, and it was just time to inspect the situation on the city wall, so Zhou Bian called out to the guards and walked in the noisy direction.

But I saw that the ground along the way was slimy, and when I looked down, it turned out to be blood all over the ground, dark red that had been dried, and bright red that had not yet dried, which was particularly dazzling, and there were even people dragging corpses on the ground, leaving traces one after another.

Zhou Bian had no choice but to take off the helmet on his head and watch the corpses go down the city, as well as the wounded soldiers who were carried down or helped down. When the surrounding soldiers saw the prince coming, they also stopped eating or drinking in their hands, and kept saluting.

Seeing the young faces, but full of sweat and blood, they were even more tanned red or tanned, their tired bodies were shaking slightly, and they stretched out their hands that wanted to salute but trembled, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel distressed, and bowed his head and arched his hand, "It's the incompetence of this king, and you have suffered here!" ”

Seeing the king saluting, he was about to kneel down on the wall in a panic, and everyone shouted, "The villain doesn't dare to be, and please don't kill the villain." Another voice said, "It doesn't matter if the villain suffers, it is the family's luck to be able to serve the royal family." ”

After everyone saluted, they heard a voice sound, "The villain actually didn't suffer anything, it's just that it's too hot this day, and he just wants to drink water, not food, but a bucket of water will be drunk in a while, is there anything else for the king?" ”

After that, everyone laughed, Zhou Bian waved his hand to stop Fan Yu, who was about to scold, and said with a smile, "It's here, someone sent it, wait a while." ”

After a few casual words with the soldiers, Zhou Bian separated from the crowd and continued to walk forward, only to see that the blood stains on the city wall were getting thicker and thicker, and there were more and more wounded soldiers who helped them down the city, and the arrows were still nailed to the ground, and more were lying in the blood and water, stepping on the feet and making a loud noise, and I don't know how many arrows the Han army shot today.

It was easy to walk to the noisy place, but I saw a big man holding a spear in his hand in the circle surrounded by a group of people, but his body was shaky, and he was unsteady on his feet. ”

At a closer look, it is a familiar face, Liu Yun.

Seeing that the king was coming, a group of people immediately let it go, and a small man cautiously stepped forward and said, "King, this general is obviously unstable, I want to help him down to rest, but he refuses, so he is a little noisy, I don't want to alarm the king, damn it." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Waving his hand, Zhou Bian stepped forward and walked straight to Liu Yun, not wanting the latter but not having any reaction, he still shouted to himself, "The king didn't give an order, how can you go down by yourself, who are you, not the people around the king." You can also kill the enemy, don't underestimate me, I don't believe that a certain family will kill you! ”

As he spoke, Liu Yun shook and waved the spear in his hand, so frightened that Fan Yu and the others immediately blocked in front of Zhou Bian, for fear of hurting the king.

It seems that this person is stunned, Zhou Bian smiled and shouted, "This king is here, now I order you to go down to the city to rest, can you obey the order?" ”

"Hey, it's really the king's voice?" Liu Yun suddenly quieted down, but his eyes were looking at the sky, his body was weak, and he fell down, so panicked that several people hurriedly supported him, but when he took it off, he found that he was asleep, and there was still a sound of snoring.

Zhou Bian couldn't help but smile and said, "Help him to a cool place to rest." ”

After that, Zhou Bian turned around and was about to go back to the city gate.

When I turned around, I saw three people hurrying over, the one in front of me was a young master in blood-colored armor, and the two in the back, Bai Gui was dressed in white but had stains, and Ning Yue was in black suit.

As soon as the three of them arrived, they bowed down.

I only heard the young master speak first, "Why did the king come here, the city wall is messy, it is not the place where the Son of Heaven is, please go back to the city tower and hall quickly." The casualties of our army have been counted, and we will report to the king when we return to the palace. ”

Then, the two people behind the young master also bowed together, "Congratulations to the king on his victory on the first day!" ”

It turned out that the news of the retreat of the Korean army came to the city, and the two of them also came one after another, and when they met the young master, they searched for it together.

However, the Korean army was still outside the city and did not leave. Okay, let's go back to the castle tower. ”

Zhou Bian smiled, and when he walked back first, the three of them hurriedly followed.

didn't want to take two steps, but Zhou Bian's footsteps stopped, and his eyes stayed on a young soldier crying loudly.

In fact, there are many brothers in this army, and there are many people who are sad that their relatives have left, but why do they pay attention to this soldier? It turned out that this was a familiar face again, Zhou Bian thought about it for a while, and remembered that it was the prisoner who was taken in after the first small cottage was defeated when he attacked the bandits in Songshan, and the younger brother of one of the two brothers, and later when he attacked the big cottage, his brother also made great contributions.

looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see his brother.

"This king remembers that your name is Li Cao, and what about your brother Li Mao? I think he's a centurion, your sir. Zhou Bian was still quite impressed by Li Mao's self-esteem, so he stopped and asked.

Unexpectedly, after Li Cao glanced up, he saw that it was the king, and knelt down on his knees, but he continued to cry and did not answer.

Fan Yu on the side couldn't help it, and shouted, "The king asked you something, and you still haven't answered!" ”

The plum grass raised her head, but she was still crying.

But another sergeant on the side replied, "Back to the king, Li Cao's brother is our centurion, an hour ago when the battle was fierce, he was hit by a few swords, and then hugged a Han soldier, and jumped down from the city together, but I am afraid that it is long gone, and this will not even know where the corpse is, so Li Cao cried non-stop, and please forgive the king!" ”

I see, it seems that the person I saw earlier jumped down from the city with Han Bing in his arms, most of them were Li Mao, but it was a pity that he was a good seedling.

Zhou Bian was about to say words of consolation, but then Li Cao suddenly spoke, "You are talking nonsense, my brother is not dead, he must still be alive!" ”

Seeing Li Cao's sudden shouting, everyone was startled, and it seemed that he was also greatly stimulated by his brother's death. The sergeant who spoke earlier hurriedly persuaded, "Falling from such a height, besides, there were Han soldiers below at that time, even if he didn't fall to his death, Han Bing would not let him go." If people can't be resurrected from death, let's mourn, the king and the adults are watching here. ”

Li Cao still didn't do it, "My brother is still alive, just now, yes, just now, I heard him shouting, just calling me." ”

As he spoke, he jumped up, rushed to the female wall in two steps and looked down a few times, then turned his head and arched his hand, "Please also ask the king to lend me a long rope, let me go down and carry my brother on his back." ”

"Bold, the adults haven't made a decision here, you just made a request, didn't you see that the Han army was still outside the city and hadn't retreated?" The young master behind Zhou Bian was a little angry, and it was estimated that most of them were still dissatisfied with Li Cao's attitude just now.

"It's okay, the Han army can't come over for a while. Give him a rope and let him go down. Also, pick some strong people with good physical strength, and also go down the rope to the city to bring back the bodies of the fallen soldiers of our army. In our army, in addition to his brother Li Mao, I am afraid that there are many people who jumped out of the city, they are all martyrs of my royal family, and they can't be allowed to fall under the city. Zhou Bian said heavily, regardless of whether there was the word martyr at this time, Zhou Bian mentioned it at this time.

"Thank you, King!" At this time, except for Li Cao, all the soldiers around him bowed down, and it seemed that this move was quite popular with the army.

Not far away there was a large number of ropes in the catapults, and by order of the king, the ropes were quickly retrieved, and several sergeants took it and tied it to the women's wall, and after putting one end down to the city, they pulled the other end of the rope tightly, apparently they also wanted to welcome the body of the chief back as soon as possible.

Li Cao looked down, but saw that there were still wounded soldiers of the Korean army moaning, thought about it, bent down and picked up a long sword hanging on his waist, alternated his hands along the rope, and soon slipped down.

Everyone looked down from the city, only to see that Li Cao was turning over in the pile of corpses, and from time to time kicked aside the Han soldiers who were not dead on the ground, and everyone in the city waited anxiously.

I didn't want to be at this moment, but I suddenly heard a sergeant shout, "Look, another South Korean army chariot is coming this way." ”

When everyone heard the prestige, sure enough, a horse chariot came to the dust, and all the soldiers in the city stopped their movements one after another and clenched their weapons instead. The thousands of soldiers still in the city were like this, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

Zhou Bian and the others were still waiting in the place where Li Cao went down to the city, and they had not yet returned to the city tower, but at this time, someone shouted down, "Li Cao, the Han army is here, hurry up." ”

The plum grass didn't even look back, and still buried his head in searching.

"Just let him find it below, then the Han army is a chariot, and it should just be here to spread the word. Let us go back to the castle tower, my lord, and see what they have to do. The young master spoke.

Seeing that the young master was urging again, Zhou Bian had no choice but to leave, and just raised his foot, but heard someone under the city wall shouting, "My brother is really still angry, hahahaha!" ”

Everyone looked down at the city, and in the pile of corpses, they saw Li Cao holding a bloody man and crying with joy, the bloody man's eyes were clearly still turning, and he was obviously not dead.

Sure enough, he was still alive, and Zhou Bian couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Go down and answer personally, and then arrange for the military physician to hurry up and treat it, quickly."

After giving the order, Zhou Bian continued to lead the way back in the direction of the city tower.

By this time, the chariot had already rushed half a mile below the castle tower.
