When I woke up again, it was half an hour later, and it was still very hot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And the messenger of the young master came again, and stood guard outside the door. It turned out that when the Korean army cleaned up the corpses, the young master also sent several people to observe and count, and the Korean army actually cleaned up more than 9,000 corpses, and more than 2,000 wounded soldiers were also carried away, but let the 5,000 people drive the cart back and forth several times.

More than 10,000 South Korean troops were severely damaged, which is a good number and enough to be proud of.

At the beginning of the city tower, Bai Gui and Ning Yue's proposal Zhou Bian did not fully agree, in fact, Zhou Bian quite agreed with Ning Yue's method, but Zhou Bian thought to himself, there is no need to seriously injure the wounded soldiers of the Han army, because the city that has not been able to retreat is naturally seriously injured soldiers, if the two legs can still walk, then it would have been withdrawn with the army a long time ago, and when the Han army retreated, a lot of arrows were sent on the wall of Luoyang, which deepened the injuries of these wounded soldiers who fell to the ground to a certain extent, and there was really no need to make up a few more swords as Ning Yue said, can also achieve the effect that Ning Yue said.

Zhou Bian naturally wouldn't say these thoughts, anyway, he achieved the effect that Ning Yue said, and took care of the young master's face, why did he say it?

After sending the messenger away, he didn't want to eat dinner for a while, so Zhou Bian put on a robe, called the guards, and left the palace again. Although the Han army retreated today, who can guarantee that he will not come tomorrow? So, it's still necessary to keep the necessary tension.

Out of the palace, you can hear the noise in the city, take a closer look, it turns out that Dingdingmen Street is recruiting, it is Zhao Biao who is in charge here, I didn't think the situation is okay, there are still many men who signed up to join the army, Zhou Bian was in a much better mood, I am afraid that although there are many people in Luoyang City, no one is willing to serve the royal family anymore. But it seems to be quite good at the moment, and after saying a few words, Zhou Bian walked to the east again.

Although soldiers can be recruited, but the recruits still have to train for a period of time to form combat effectiveness, Zhou Bian thought about it, the current situation is urgent, and the queue still has to be trained for two days, and then it is the skill of defending the city, which can be regarded as a quick success. So for a long time, we still have to rely on the 20,000 troops we had, well, to be precise, more than 15,000 people at the moment.

Walk to the Dingding Gate, the scene is still a mess, the people are fetching water to wash the ground and the city wall, the arrows all over the ground have been neatly piled into a pile, stacked on the inner side of the city wall, and the people behind the city gate are further reinforced, basically to block it.

Walking up to the city tower, I saw some neatly dressed soldiers standing sparsely above the city, and the ground on the city wall had been cleared, and some people were repairing the wooden sheds and women's walls for protection.

Soon I saw the young master who was still wearing armor and hurriedly running, although his body was much cleaner, but he still covered up the tiredness on his face.

"To meet the king, the old minister was in the temporary barracks under the city, and when he heard that the king was coming, he hurried here. Great king, the soldiers defending the city have been replaced by the old man, and the previous five or six thousand people are all resting in the camp, and these thousand people are transferred from the city, just to prevent the Korean army from going and returning. At night, it was also the same thousand men on duty. ”

"It's arranged, after dark, you can also let some fast scouts go out of the city, go east along Luoshui, and monitor the Han army camp. Forget it, at this time, this king asked Jiang Ping's people to do it. ”

Saying that, Zhou Bian walked to the edge of the female wall, looked down, but saw a desolate place, although the corpses and so on have been cleaned up, but the blood stains all over the ground have not been cleaned, in the sunset that is about to set in the west, it is even more bleak, piece by piece, beach by beach, red and black, these are all Korean blood, all remind that there was a tragic war here.

It really deserves to be the Warring States Period, when the prince gave an order, thousands of people died for it. And looking at the red blood stains on the open space in front of the city, it seems that the scene of Han Bing's successive soldiers who are not afraid of death in the morning flashed in front of him again, and this, everything, what is it for?

"King!"

Hearing the young master's careful shout, Zhou Bian turned his head.

"King, the situation in our army is not very good, except for the 5,000 people who were seriously injured and killed, in the afternoon the Korean army retreated, and nearly 1,000 soldiers of our army fainted, the doctor said that they had been exposed to the sun for a day and suffered from heat stroke, and they were ordered to rest in a cool place, but these days, I am afraid that they will not be able to go to the battlefield."

Another thousand people, it's really not good news. Zhou Bian looked into the distance outside the city with a worried face, where there were more than 100,000 Han soldiers stationed in an invisible place.

Turning around, Zhou Bian asked.

"If the Han army comes back tomorrow, how will we respond?"

"Back to the king, our army has not participated in the battle today, there are still more than 10,000 people, and another 7,000 people will be transferred from the remaining three directions as the main defense, and 1,000 people will be transferred from the soldiers who can still participate in the war today as the reserve in the remaining three directions, and the remaining 3,000 people will be used as the reserve of the east gate, if the Korean army still attacks like today, it should be enough."

"Alas, it can only be like this, but it is still necessary to give orders, and the rest of the north, south, and west must not be slack, in case the South Korean army suddenly transfers troops, especially when the South Korean army is attacking the east gate and in the dead of night, it is necessary to pay more attention. This king will also order Jiang Ping to arrange people, no matter what, to grasp the dynamics of the Korean army. And here, it can only be like this, let everyone work hard first. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Bian walked towards the city wall, only to see that although there was water on the ground, the deep blood stains were still extremely conspicuous, damn it, so many people died in one day.

Walking further, I saw that many of the wooden sheds on the inner side of the city wall were dilapidated, and the craftsmen were repairing them, Zhou Bian stopped and looked at it for a long time, nodded and said, "This wooden shed can not only block the arrows of the Korean army, but also protect it from the scorching sun, but it needs to be repaired." The top should also be reinforced, and some grass can be tied to the top to absorb the momentum of the arrows. ”

After those craftsmen nodded, Zhou Bian walked to the women's wall again, but saw that many places had collapsed, and there were craftsmen rushing to repair it.

"Young Master, the soldiers who have suffered from heat stroke still need to get more cold water to wipe, there is still some ice hidden in the cellar in the palace, tomorrow I will ask the palace attendants to send some to the barracks, if there is still a heat stroke unconscious and feverish, you can wipe the ice water, the effect is better." It's not early today, the king will go back to the palace first, and the young master will arrange for the night duty, so go back early to rest. ”

Anyway, in the midst of the young master and others, Zhou Bian boarded the carriage and went back to the palace, it was getting dark, it was dinner time, perhaps, the queen mother was still waiting in the palace.

And the recruitment of troops in the city, and the repair of the city, are still going on until it is dark and invisible, after all, these two things are urgent, and they all take the same effort.

And after dark, Luoyang City is quiet, the original civilians in the city are relieved, the suburbs who come in outside the city to take refuge are also settled, and those noble families in the city have also settled down, the royal family won the first battle, although only held the first day, but this impact is not small, after all, the good news of the heavy damage to the Korean army of 12,000 has long been spread all over the streets and alleys of Luoyang.

At the same time, the Han Division's military camp, which was located a few miles outside the city, was also quiet.

In the camp, which spread for miles, there were occasional bonfires, but more often they were quiet, and occasionally a few cries of pain sounded in the night, which was particularly harsh.

Yes, the Han army also basked in the sun for a day, and the Han soldiers were also people, and no one could stand it after a day of exposure, so it was not dark this day, and the weather was just a little cooler, and the soldiers all went to the camp tent to rest. Although there is Luoshui next to it, except for each team taking turns to wash for half an hour, the soldiers are no longer allowed to approach Luoshui, after all, as one of the seven heroes, and always in the midst of war, the discipline of the Han army is still quite good.

Under normal circumstances, the soldiers don't care about the results of their battles, so they fall asleep one after another, while the commanders in the army are all sad and are gathering in the commander's tent at this time to discuss matters, and this may be one of the differences between being an official and being a soldier.

There was a dullness in the tent, and the old general sitting on it had an extremely bad complexion, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.

After half a ring, I only heard the old general's heavy voice sound, "Today's battle, if you fail to break the city, you can put a lot of pressure on the Luoyang Zhou royal family, but you don't want to attack the city without saying that you have lost a lot of troops." Nearly 10,000 corpses were cleared under the city, 2,000 seriously wounded soldiers, and another 5,000 soldiers were wounded. If you have any thoughts, please let us know. ”

"General!" The first to speak was Su Rui.

"The last general thinks that the large equipment on the enemy's city is very powerful, and it can throw a flying stone at a time, and the lethality is extremely great within a few hundred steps, even the shield is difficult to prevent, and most of the dead soldiers of our army are injured by this flying stone, and this equipment that can throw stones is hidden in the inner side of the city wall, and it is difficult for our army's crossbow to shoot, so this catapult is my biggest obstacle. According to the plan of the last general, first, build more boxcars, let the soldiers hide in them, in case of flying stones, and then organize elite soldiers to rush to the head of the city to destroy the enemy's catapults, second, build some tall lookouts and retreat to the city wall 200 paces away, so that the crossbowmen can suppress the catapults in the city, and third, the last general observed, this catapult is difficult to move, it is better to abandon the east wall and attack the north or west. I wonder what the general thinks? ”

To say that Su Rui is also a capable person, he can see the key to the problem on the first day of siege and come up with a corresponding solution, it is not unwise and agile, no wonder in South Korea, they are extremely optimistic about this person's talent.

However, the power of the catapult was so obvious that the discipline and good training of the royal army were obscured.

The old general nodded, "What he said is indeed reasonable, it is not realistic to abandon the east and attack the north and west again, the west of Luoyang is a river several zhang wide, and our army has to cross the river, which is more difficult." Speaking of the north, the old man let people check it today, and there are also catapults on the north wall of Luoyang. And in the morning, there were only five catapults at the east gate, and at noon they became seven, and in the afternoon they became nine, so it can be seen that this catapult is also extremely convenient to move, so the old man decided to continue to attack the east wall. And from tomorrow, the army will divide some troops to build boxcars and lookouts, and build more ladders. There are only seven days left for our army's grain and grass, everyone, within seven days, we must take Luoyang! ”

"No!" A circle of generals said yes one after another.

Unexpectedly, a cold voice sounded, "General, a certain family has something to say." ”

Everyone looked at it, but it was Gongzi Bao, who commanded one of the 30,000 troops in the morning, who was also the uncle of the current Han Hou, who was in his fifties, and was named the general of the former army, with 10,000 men.

I only heard him say coldly, "How to attack the city, the old man naturally knows, but why should he listen to Su Rui's command as a yellow-mouthed child?" If it weren't for the fact that he was under Luoyang City, for fear of provoking the royal family's jokes, the old man would have asked General Su to look good at noon. General, I hope that next time I will not send people who have little experience in war to supervise the battle, otherwise I am afraid that the army will not be able to convince me. ”

After that, the other two former army generals also chimed in. It seems that the factional rivalry in South Korea is not only above the court, but also in the military.

At this time, the general had to act as a peacemaker, and only listened to his cough lightly, "Everyone, sending Su Rui to oversee the army is the intention of the old man, or there is something to be considered, and there will be no such thing in the future." As for Gongzi Bao Er and the other three, the soldiers under his command today have suffered heavy losses, and tomorrow you will stay in the camp with the crossbow array and other soldiers, so that your troops can build vehicles. The old man took the rest of his troops to attack the city again. ”

The general opened his mouth, but he still had to obey, and the three generals all agreed.

I didn't want Su Rui to stand up, "General, I am willing to act as a pioneer tomorrow, invite you to fight under Luoyang City, and show the majesty of our Korean army." ”

"You have 5,000 men, do you want to send them to death?" Gongzi Bao on the side said coldly.

"A certain is not to attack the city, but to provoke with words, inviting the Zhou royal family to send troops outside the city, 5,000 to 10,000, it is expected that his royal family will not refuse. And it just so happens that tomorrow to build a car platform and other things, there is no need to vigorously attack the city, so let a certain go to kill Luoyang Weifeng. I wonder what the general thinks? ”

"Okay, it's decided, let's get up early tomorrow, kill under Luoyang City, collect the troops before noon, and then order the army to prepare more buckets to relieve the heat." Today, everyone is resting, and the soldiers on duty at night are arranged to prevent a night attack. ”

The old general waved his hand, and the generals left one after another.

After the generals left, a young general stayed, "Father, since we mentioned just now to prevent a night attack, why don't we sneak under Luoyang City at night and climb up to the city?" ”
