Seeing that the Han army receded like a tide again, everyone on the Luoyang city wall breathed a sigh of relief, the oppressive feeling eased slightly, and the spears in the hands of the soldiers in the city began to shake, and everyone felt that their bodies had already been soaked by Han water.

It turned out that it was already sunset, thinking that the Korean army would not attack the city today, and after ordering the soldiers on the night vigil not to relax, Zhou Bian led the ministers to leave the city tower and walk towards the palace.

On the way, he suddenly received a visit from Wang Sunjian and Liu Yun, "Wang, the Korean army came here today, and the camp has not yet been settled, so why don't you attack at night tonight?" ”

"The Han army just arrived today, how can you not prepare, it is more than 100,000 troops, it is not enough to see how many people you bring there, it is better to honestly prepare to defend the city tomorrow."

Although the attitude is very positive, but also look at the situation, this is not a city in South Korea, as long as the commander of the South Korean army is not a fool, he will not pay attention to it, so when the South Korean army first arrived, it was still the main thing to stick to. So Zhou Bian sent the two back.

After returning to the palace, after arranging the night sentry and tomorrow's defense of the city, the ministers retreated, and Zhou Bian was ready to wash and sleep, so as to meet tomorrow's challenges in the best mental state.

However, this is destined to be the most tense night, and there are many people in Luoyang City who can't sleep all night, not only because of the unbearable heat, but also because of the unspeakable depression, after all, no one in the city has experienced such a big battle.

The next day, when the sky was not clear, the soldiers who were on guard on the wall of the east gate were alarmed, and they stood up and looked ahead, I don't know how far away, dimly I could see piles of bonfires lit in the Korean military camp, and I didn't need to think much to know that it was the Korean army preparing breakfast.

The news soon spread into the city, and there were many soldiers defending the city under the eastern city wall, and at this time, under the orders of the commanders, they got up one after another, and as the heralds went deeper and deeper, although the sky was not yet dawn, and the entire Luoyang city had begun to gradually become active.

The soldiers got up at the sound of the trumpet, the people prepared breakfast and the city defense equipment, and the nobles and ministers also poured into the palace, and at this time, in the palace, Zhou Bian was already having breakfast.

At this time, who can still sleep lazily, Zhou Bian got up early, looking at the ministers who came one by one with red eyes, Zhou Bian couldn't help but smile slightly, it seems that last night, everyone didn't sleep well.

With the support of the two of them, surrounded by the ministers, Zhou Bian went out of the palace and boarded the carriage and went straight to the east gate.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the people of the city had already known about the events of the day, and the streets on both sides of the street were full of royal people who knelt on the ground, chanting the slogan "Long live the king, the king will win", and watched the strict 2,000 royal guards escort the king in their hearts to the east.

The road was smooth, and soon they came to the Dingding Gate, where thousands of troops were already standing on both sides of the gate, standing there quietly, waiting for the next order from the superiors. With the support, Zhou Bian climbed the city tower, and the chief Zhou Mi and others immediately arranged for the shield-raising guards to occupy both sides, and the king insisted on coming, no one could stop him, so he had to increase his vigilance.

As soon as he ascended the tower, he was greeted by a neatly dressed young master who came to report, "Great King, all the 5,000 soldiers have climbed the city wall, 1,000 people at each of the three city gates, and the other 2,000 people are distributed on the four sections of the city wall, which can be supported at any time. There are still 5,000 soldiers in the city, ready to go to the city to fight, and 10,000 men are in place, ready to transport weapons, rescue new soldiers, and many other matters. There has just been movement in the South Korean military camp, and they have already left the camp and are heading this way. ”

Waving his hand to show that he knows, Zhou Bian walked a few steps forward, straight to the edge of the female wall, and immediately a guard moved a low stool, Zhou Bian stepped on it and looked out from the crack in the battlements, only to see a round of red sun in the distance is rising from the horizon, bright red as if blood stained red, as if it is heralding today's theme, under the red sun, above the plain, there is a large black cloud-like tide rushing over, feeling the vibration from the earth, everyone above the city tower understands, it is the Korean army coming.

Seeing this, Zhou Bian suddenly shouted, "Oops." ”

The left of the Son of Heaven is headed by the Taishi, followed by the young master Bai Gui and a new general such as Pang Xing Wang Sun Jian, the right is led by Tian Yi, followed by Zhao Biao, Ning Yue, and the Tu family father and son and other old Luoyang nobles. At this time, everyone suddenly heard the king shouting, and they all turned their heads, only to hear the master ask, "What does the king mean by this?" ”

Zhou Bian pointed to the rising red sun, "We are from the west to the east, and in the morning, we are facing the sun, which is not conducive to our army defending the city." ”

When everyone thought about it, it was indeed the case, and they immediately talked about it.

Suddenly, I heard Na Bai Gui shouting, "King, if you survive the morning, by the afternoon, the sun will be facing the Han army, fortunately, the sun is slightly smaller in the morning, and now it is a hot day, and the direct sunlight in the afternoon makes people unable to open their eyes." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all relieved, and they all made sense. Zhou Bian also smiled and signaled everyone to pay attention to the dynamics of the Korean army.

Finally, the black oppressive army was getting closer and closer, and it actually came straight to the Dingding Gate, and several large squares moved neatly, and from a distance, it looked like a square on a chessboard.

It got closer and closer, and the vibration from the city wall became stronger and stronger, and more than 5,000 people in the city were overwhelmed by the momentum.

Finally, a few horns sounded, the Han army brushed up and stopped at the place two miles outside the Dingding Gate, it seems that the Han Army is going to work hard Dingding Gate, Zhou Bian breathed a sigh of relief, because this Dingding Gate is the tallest of the three gates in the east of Luoyang, and the city defense is also the most complete. Hmph, does he have that strength? Zhou Bian couldn't help but snort coldly.

Take a closer look, it turns out that the Korean army is divided into ten large arrays, the first five and the last five, placed in two rows, and the entire Korean army stretches for at least three miles left and right.

At this time, the morning sun had climbed into the air, staring at the gradually warming sun, Zhou Bian and the others couldn't help but put their hands in front of their foreheads, squinted and looked down, sure enough, staring at the sun was still a little disadvantageous.

The young master stepped forward, "King, you can adjust the city defense strength of our army." ”

Indeed, at first I didn't know where the Korean army was going to attack, so the city defense was arranged more evenly, but now it is clear that the main attack of the Korean army is Dingding Gate, and it is extremely necessary to draw part of the strength of the other two gates at this time.

So Zhou Bian nodded, "That's how it should be, but if you order it to go down, the other two gates, as well as the guards of the three city walls in the southwest and north, must not relax, this king sees that the ten large formations of the Korean army, it should only be 100,000 people, and there are nearly 20,000 people who don't know whether they are not dispatched, or they go around in other directions, so they must be guarded." ”

"No!" After getting the order, the young master immediately went down to arrange, and soon heard the sound of the order far away, followed by the footsteps from far and near, and soon, the Dingding Gate along the city gate on both sides of the city wall two miles each, densely occupied with the soldiers guarding the city, the east wall of Luoyang City is not less than ten miles, to be able to concentrate on only guarding these three miles, it is already lucky for the royal family.

A moment later, the Han army had already lined up in formation, and with the rising sun, several chariots drove out of the Han army camp and came straight to the city gate, so shocked that many people on the city gate couldn't help but point, "Look, the Han army is here!" ”

When the war was coming, the most annoying panic and panic was quite child's play, Zhou Bian frowned and looked, it turned out to be a veteran Luoyang nobleman on the right. This group of people didn't want to agree to their coming, but they insisted on coming, considering the need to stabilize people's hearts and show the Han army the belonging of Luoyang, Zhou Bian still agreed, I didn't think that the war had not started yet, and it began to be a little chaotic, but think about it, when the two sons of Zhou Weigong competed, the 1,000 Korean soldiers borrowed by Gongziban could scare the closure of the nine gates of Luoyang, and the nobles in the city trembled, which would be more than 100,000 Korean soldiers, perhaps affected by the previous victory of the royal army, the performance of this group of nobles was already much stronger than before.

Resisting the urge to drive them down, Zhou Bian looked down and saw that the three chariots that rushed out of the Han military camp were getting closer and closer, and in the bright sun of the summer morning, they brought up a dusty road, and rushed to two hundred steps below the city gate in the blink of an eye.

The three chariots stopped at the same time, and the horses stopped and the tall wheels of the chariots brought up a larger cloud of dust, almost covering the chariot, and the hot breath exhaled by the horses seemed to be visible under the scorching sun.

At Zhou Bian's suggestion, Wang Sunjian shouted down in a loud voice, "You wait for the Koreans, why did you come to invade my king's land for no reason and disturb the Son of Heaven, you can be punished?" Don't go back quickly! ”

Although the Spring and Autumn Period has long been free of righteousness, as the royal family where orthodoxy is located, it is still extremely necessary to find its own moral high ground before the war.

Han Jun obviously thought the same way, only to see that after the three chariots completely stopped, a voice came from one of the chariots, "Su Rui, the pioneer of the Han army, came to advise the king of Zhou on the order of my king, don't take the fiefs of the princes without permission, it is shameful for the people of the world, although my lord is a marquis, but he can't bear to see the king of Zhou treat the princes like this." If the king of Zhou is willing to give up Luoyang and welcome back the son of the former Duke of Zhou, Gongzi Ban, to ascend the throne as a duke, then our army will immediately retreat, and another great gift will be offered, and the Zhou royal family will be respected by the people of the world. ”

After a pause, after the people in the city reacted slightly, the shouts came again, "The people in the city listen, hurry up and tell your king, the son's class is here, how to decide and decide quickly, my army is here, give you half an hour, if the time comes, you still refuse to welcome back the child's class, withdraw from Luoyang, my 200,000 army, will immediately attack the city, for the first Zhou Duke to restore the country, for the world to determine justice." ”

It's really shameless to say this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but chuckle. Sure enough, there was already a noise around him, which was the indignant accusations of the ministers, and even some old nobles in Luoyang couldn't help but show disdain, squinting at the son's class on the chariot under the city gate. Although Su Rui, the pioneer of the Korean army, said that his words were high-sounding, but the 100,000 army was persecuted under the city, this matter was not the case, in fact, for these veteran nobles, it didn't matter who was the lord of Luoyang, the key was whether they could ensure their interests, obviously the royal family was still doing a good job at this point.

The words of the city naturally caused a slight commotion among the soldiers who were in place, but how could the royal family not have a response, Zhou Bian nodded to the young master, and the latter immediately arranged it, and soon, a young man dressed in the princes' costumes appeared on the city tower and also stood on the wooden platform.

"A certain Luoyang Tianyi, ordered by the king to advise you to wait, you wait for Hugh to talk nonsense, my Zhou dynasty has always been the elder system, the first Zhou Dynasty passed away, of course, the son of the Zhou Dynasty inherited the position of the Zhou Dynasty, and now there is my royal family to support the throne, how to get the inferior brother of the Zhou Dynasty to take the throne? Now that you have found that son's class in South Korea, it is really ill-intentioned. Fortunately, although the public is young today, he has already seen the intentions of you and others, and invited my royal family to sit in charge, so as to prevent the princes with bad intentions, so as not to fall into the hands of Xiaoxiao. The king of my family is here, you don't need to wait for an hour, you can reply to you now, if you still have the heart of respecting the king, retreat quickly, my king will not pursue it, if you insist on offending Tianwei, then my royal family swears to live and die with Luoyang. Jiuding in Luoyang City is still there, the ancestral temple still exists, whether it is a war or a retreat, it all depends on you! ”

This time it was Tian Yi who shouted, I really didn't expect this old man to have a very loud voice, full of energy, he didn't take a breath for half a day after shouting, and his physical fitness was still very good. Naturally, these words were written a long time ago for Tian Yi to memorize, and the words were shouted by the old ministers of the first Zhou Dynasty, and the natural effect was stronger than that of the old ministers of the royal family.

Sure enough, after hearing these shouts, both the nobles and the soldiers in the city quieted down, and they all quietly looked at the three chariots under the city.

I saw that after a few people on the chariot discussed a few words, it was Su Rui who shouted loudly, "Since you are so stubborn, then don't blame us for taking action, flee back to justice for the first Duke of Zhou, and teach the royal family what justice is!" ”

With that, the carriages turned around, leaving a few lines of dust in their wake.

On the carriage, the son-in-law class who had not said a word looked back at Luoyang, and everyone on the city tower looked at it, but they didn't know what the child-in-law class was thinking at this time, maybe it was more of a helplessness.

As the chariot went away, everyone in the city tightened their heartstrings, and everyone knew that the Han army was about to press up.
