Under the light of the dim torches, he witnessed a miniature version of the southeast corner of Luoyang sitting in front of him, and this scene in front of him tonight may still be remembered by many people present many years later, and may also become the capital of many guards who later became generals in the army to brag to their subordinates.

"Young Master, where are all our troops?" Zhou Bian was still smiling, and as he spoke, he reached out and tore off the corners of his robe, tore it into several pieces and handed them to the young master.

"Young Master, these red strips of cloth represent a few units of our army." In fact, what Zhou Bian wanted to use was a small flag, just like later generations, how many people each flag could represent, which seemed very clear and clear at a glance, but the reality was that it could only be so.

Only then did the young master react, "How can you make the king like this?" ”

However, under Zhou Bian's strong pressure, the young master still took the strip of cloth, and after thinking about it, he put a strip of cloth on the path next to the city wall not far west of Gaomen, "Great King, this is Tu Qiang who came from Yumen." ”

Then he put a strip of cloth on the street facing Gaomen in Gaomen, not yet Pingmen Street, "Wang, this is Li Ding." ”

Then he put a piece of cloth on the east side of Gaomen, but the young master just put it down and picked it up, tore it half with his hands, and then put it down again, "King, this is the defeated Gaomen original defenders, it is Sima Tu's department, but now I don't know where Sima Tu is, I heard the soldiers in front of me say that there are still eight or nine hundred people in the defeated army, but they don't know where the main general is." ”

Looking at this scene, Zhou Bian nodded, it seems that the young master still has some experience in the use of this cloth strip, and knows how much strength is represented by the size of the cloth strip.

Then the young master threw another piece of cloth at the corner of the city wall east of Gaomen, "King, calculate the time, Liu Yun should have arrived here by now." ”

In the end, he threw two pieces of cloth in Li Ding's rear, "King, this is the first increase of 2,000 troops, led by Wang Sunyang, Wang Sunyang is also an old man in the old days, loyal and reliable." The next 2,000 people are led by Zhang Hu, who is almost at Li Ding, and after the convergence, they should be able to block the Han army. ”

After staring at the miniature version of Luoyang City for a moment, Zhou Bian nodded, "According to what the young master said, our army's response was timely, although Gaomen was lost, our army has blocked the Han army from three directions, and Luoyang City should be safe for the time being." It's just that the defenders on the other flanks must not slack off. ”

"Don't worry, the old man has already sent people, and none of the soldiers on today's night vigil don't want to sleep."

"Well, well done. Do you know the distribution of the South Korean army's troops? Zhou Bian was still staring at the miniature version of Luoyang City.

"This, the old man is not very clear." said that the young master was going to learn from the king to tear the corners of his clothes, but unexpectedly, someone stuffed a few pieces of cloth on the side, and at first glance, it was his own kid Fan Yu.

After nodding from his own boy, the young master put one of the strips of cloth in Gaomen, "King, this cyan strip of cloth represents the Han soldiers, this is the Han soldiers who occupy Gaomen." ”

Knowing that different colors are used to represent the strength of both sides, the young master's comprehension ability is extremely good, Zhou Bian raised his head and smiled with satisfaction.

Then another piece of cloth was placed in Gaomen, and then another piece was placed in the west of Gaomen and east of Gaomen, after a pause, the young master threw a handful of cloth strips outside the city wall east of Gaomen, "King, according to the battle situation ahead, it is mainly these three directions, and then there should be a large number of Korean troops coming from the east, but the city wall south of Luoyang is less than a mile away from Luoshui, and the Gaomen city gate is narrow, so it should be impossible for the Korean army to pour in a large number of troops." ”

"Well, that's true, the focus is also on how to recapture Gaomen, as long as Gaomen can be recaptured, Luoyang will have no worries." Zhou Bian nodded.

"It's up to Liu Yun." The young master echoed.

At this moment, a sergeant ran in, "Report, Liu Yun led the team in front just turned the corner of the city wall, and they confronted the Han army, and there was already a fight on the city wall and in the small roads under the city wall." Liu Yun's side did not light the torches, and the Han army had countless torches, the villain watched from a distance under the city, and after seeing the shouting and killing, the Han army actually retreated a few steps, and then came back to report. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bian and the young master glanced at each other, and both nodded, Liu Yun is not stupid, he lit a torch in the dark, first, it is easy to become the target of the enemy, and secondly, if he holds a torch, he can only operate the weapon with one hand, and he will obviously be at a disadvantage when attacking, it seems that Liu Yun has a lot of hope there, and it is probably up to Liu Yun to recapture the city gate.

After waving his hand and letting the sergeant continue to go to the front line to inquire about the news, Zhou Bian still frowned, stared at the miniature version of Luoyang City for a moment and said.

"Young Master, after the Korean army enters the city, there is only one team of men and horses on the east and west roads of these three roads, even if there is backup all the way in the middle, but if it is chaotic, the front army retreats and the rear army advances, it will be crowded together, and this is the most taboo in the night. It is better to order Zhang Hu's 2,000 men to fortify the street behind Pingmen, and when Li Ding's people are defeated and retreat, let Li Ding's people retreat from both sides of Pingmen Street, so as not to collide with their own army. ”

Saying that, Zhou Bian threw a red strip of cloth and put it at the intersection of Pingmen Street and Gaomen Street, which is a crossroads, and it is indeed a strategic place.

"Then order Pang Xing to transfer 2,000 soldiers to the south of the barracks in Dingmen, gather at the southeast corner of Luoyang City, and after Liu Yun's team reaches Gaomen, they will climb the southern city wall and kill and injure the soldiers outside the city with bows and arrows and bricks." Zhou Bian threw down another strip of cloth.

The young master nodded, and as soon as he beckoned, a herald approached, and after the young master gave a few words, the latter quickly ran out.

Then Zhou Bian tore two small pieces of cloth and threw them in the houses on both sides of Gaomen.

"These were shops, but they also had houses and walls, which allowed the soldiers to enter through the back door, climb on the front wall or roof, and shoot arrows down the front wall or roof, so as to kill and wound the enemy, and the veteran had to go to shoot the enemy, otherwise he would lose his accuracy in the night and injure his own people by mistake. In this way, Zi Chief, you take 500 veterans of the Royal Forest Army, and 1,000 new soldiers, rush over, and arrange the houses on both sides, if the Korean army has captured these shops, they will snatch them back, if not, occupy a high place, and wait for the opportunity to kill the enemy, understand? ”

The chief also gathered here, but he arched his hands and said in a deep voice, "The king, your subordinates are gone, what should be done with the defense of this palace?" ”

"There is a young master and this king here at the main gate of the palace, and there are Zhou Zhan and Ziyuan at the north gate of the back gate, you know these two people, this king will also transfer Tu Meng, who guards the west gate, to come here and cross here to defend the palace. Then he transferred 1,000 soldiers from Dingding Gate to the south to guard Pingmen. ”

Saying that, Zhou Bian pointed with his hand, and it was the junction between the Dingding Gate and the main gate of the palace, and it was also a crossroads, and it was also the closest intersection to the main gate of the palace.

"It's a feasible plan." The young master touched his beard, and immediately turned around and arranged for someone to pass the order.

Seeing that the king had other arrangements, the chief also gave up his hand, turned around and was about to go down to the city, but Fan Yu didn't want to go down at this time, but Fan Yu stepped forward and bowed down and said, "King, let me go, kill the enemy on the front line, and also protect my king, what does the king mean?" ”

Zhou Bian nodded, "Then you can go, and the chief of the road will be on both sides of the road, and be careful yourself." ”

"No!" Fan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and after arching his hand at his old man, he turned around and chased after Zichang.

Indeed, with Fan Yu's talent, he has been acting as a guard, which is a little wronged, and at this time, there is nothing to do around him, and there are a lot of personal guards, but he can let Fan Yu go to fight with his hands and feet to see how he performs on the battlefield.

It's just that the young master watched Fan Yu leave, and there was no expression on his face.

So Zhou Bian looked at the young master, "The young master is worried about his son?" ”

The young master turned around and smiled slightly, "The old man is not worried about him, life and death have their own fate, and it is the luck of my Fan family to be able to serve the king, so why should I be afraid of life and death?" The old man was just thinking about it just now, the king couldn't help but put the bricks well, it was easy to see the battle situation clearly, and even the deployment of this force was good, which was several times stronger than the old man. After the Han army entered the city from Gaomen, there were no more than two directions, one was to occupy another gate to the east, and Liu Yun had already resisted it, and there were additional troops, and the other direction was to the north, killing my palace, if it could occupy my palace, Luoyang would be in hand, but the king had three layers of troops here, first Li Ding, followed by Zhang Hu, slaughtered fiercely again, and should be able to keep my palace safe. ”

As he spoke, the young master laid down a few strips of cloth to represent the distribution of our troops.

"By the way, the king, what is the name of Luoyang City where these bricks are placed? You have to have a name to be useful. ”

"The sand table is called the sand table." Zhou Bian smiled faintly.

The young master was stunned for a moment, "Please also ask the king to elaborate, the old man can't hear it very clearly." ”

"Sand, it's the sand of the beach, the fine stones, the plate, it's the vegetable plate, the tray of the tray, well, it probably means that the small stone is placed on the tray."

"Sandbox?" The young master repeated, then nodded.

"Sand table, good name, I Ching needs hexagrams, 'need in the sand, small words, the end of auspicious', sand is the steel in the water, small and solid, can be replaced by all things. The rite record says, 'Mu with a tile plate', the plate is a shallow water thing with an open bottom, stable but not falling, and it can carry the mountains and rivers of the city. The word king is used just right, and it is appropriate for the name. ”

Zhou Bian's face suddenly turned red, needless to say, this sand table is copied from later generations, but he didn't want to win such praise from the young master, Rao is thick-skinned face, and he can't stand the hot face.

At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded, "King, the old man is late, I don't know how the south of the city is?" ”

When I looked back, it was the Taishi who came.

happened to cross the topic of this name, so the young master told the Taishi about the deployment of the enemy and our troops on this sand table, and the Taishi nodded again and again.

"Well, the king and the young master have thought about it very carefully, but there is another problem, that is, most of the suburbs in Nancheng are people who come in outside the city to take refuge, and those who remain in Nancheng are mainly women, children, old and disabled, and they are easily frightened, if they are frightened in the dark night, it is very easy to cause chaos, or cause the whole city to lose control, or give people with intentions a chance to take advantage of it, or disrupt the formation of our army, and I hope that the king will send troops to maintain order, no need for elite soldiers, as long as people who abide by discipline."

Bang bang bang.

But it was the young master who clapped his hands, "What the master said is extremely true, what does the king think?" If the old man arranged it immediately, there were still tens of thousands of recruits in the city, and no weapons were issued, so it would be extremely appropriate to maintain order. ”

Zhou Bian nodded, "As the saying goes, one person counts the short, and the three people count the long, and the words of the master are more thoughtful." Let a few doctors take people there, and if you want to unify the statement, let's say that the royal family is making every effort to expel foreign enemies, and Luoyang should be safe and sound. ”

"Bai Gui should also be on his way here at this time, so let Doctor Bai and a few others go." The Taishi nodded, got up and retreated, and arranged to go.

At this time, the sound of fighting in the south of the city is still endless.

Night battles really require courage, and at the same time, the rewards are immeasurable, and the gains are always accompanied by risks, and once you fail, you will also fall into a desperate situation. Zhou Bian looked out the window of the main hall of the city tower, there was a fire coming from the south, and even the figure could be faintly seen, the madness of the Han army was like gambling, and it also pushed the safety of the royal family to the edge of the cliff, and our young Luoyang soldiers, can they stop it?

Zhou Bian thought about it hard, in the past, he added animal offal to the soldiers' recipes, and the veterans' night vision should have no problem, and he also instructed Liu Yun and others not to play torches, so that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark, just to be able to see and kill the enemy, and the attack and defense formation in the dark night happens to have the usual strict queue training as a guarantee, in addition, Liu Yun's command is equipped with an iron spear, Tu Qiang and Tu Meng's subordinates are equipped with iron spears, Li Dingze is equipped with copper spears and long swords, and the weapons are still advantageous in general, and finally, Zhou Bian also set up several lines of defense along the three directions of Gaomen to the north, east and west, and everything that could be done was done, and he waited for the results.

Waiting is always anxious and stressful, and in the same way, soldiers on the front line can also feel nervous and even afraid, especially new recruits, who have poor eyesight in the night, which adds to the fear. But there are just so many people, not to mention afraid, they are not nervous, but they are highly motivated and even a little excited, needless to say, the typical representative of this is Liu Yun.

Lost to Wang Sunjian yesterday, although no one mentioned it, but Liu Yun couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and he didn't think that it would be less than two days before the opportunity came. As soon as he received the young master's order to reorganize the army, Liu Yun really wanted to kill all the hateful Han soldiers immediately, so Liu Yun immediately ordered the two thousand veterans under his command, all of whom had seen blood, half with spears and half with bows, and the formation was quickly arranged, with spearmen in front and archers behind, half on the city wall and half under the city wall.

At this time, as soon as you climb the city wall, you can see the torches of the Korean army in the south lining up in a long line along Luoshui, heading in the direction of Gaomen. I don't know what the situation in Gaomen is, Liu Yun was anxious, but without the military order of the young master, Liu Yun didn't dare to kill the general, so he had to take a piece of cloth and wipe the tip of the iron spear in his hand again and again, so that it seemed to be able to shine in the dark night.

While anxiously waiting, it didn't take long for a herald to bring the military order for the young master to attack, Liu Yun couldn't wait to immediately shout kill, brandished his newly built iron spear, and rushed out first.
