It took great effort and lost many veterans, Liu Yun finally regained control of the city tower, but only controlled the city tower, on the stairs on both sides of the inner side of the city tower, there were Han soldiers holding shields and waving spears to rush up, wanting to recapture the city tower, the royal family did not have a shield on this side, and could only use the spear attack to replace the defense, and the Gaomen city tower that occupied the hand was still precarious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now only the city tower is in hand, the city gate hole is still controlled in the hands of the Han soldiers, but Liu Yun does not have much ability to capture the city gate hole anymore, now the Han soldiers under the city tower are still rushing up, there are still Han soldiers outside the city on the east side of the city tower climbing the ladder to climb up, and some Han soldiers on the city wall on the west side of the city tower were driven to the west, but they still resisted stubbornly on the city wall.

So Liu Yun had to divide the remaining more than 1,000 people under his command into three divisions, the largest part of the number was used to guard the city tower, mainly to guard against the Korean soldiers rushing up the stairs on both sides, and at the same time, there were archers who shot arrows below the inside and outside of the city tower to kill the enemy, and the remaining part continued to kill the enemy to the west, and the other part was guarded on the east wall to prevent the Han soldiers from climbing up again.

Fortunately, at this time, another royal soldier who came after him greatly replenished his strength, and under the unified coordination of Liu Yun, he accepted the defense of the eastern city wall, although there was still a ladder erected on the city wall, but it was occupied by the royal family above the city wall, and it was difficult for the Han soldiers to climb up. At this time, Liu Yun had the energy to think about it, it turned out that the Han soldiers actually climbed up with a ladder at night, but the defense of this Gaomen was too poor, how could they touch the city?

Just thinking about it, as soon as his body relaxed, Liu Yun gritted his teeth, there was an arrow on each shoulder, there was still a little pain in his chest and abdomen, and there was blood on his hand when he touched it, but this was obviously not the time to check, Liu Yun stared at the tiger, and pulled out the two arrows with a fierce blow, and the barb brought up a piece of flesh and blood.

There was no time to bandage, Liu Yun rushed to the female wall again, looking at the dense Han soldiers directly below the city tower, he couldn't help frowning, there were still too many Han soldiers, and I didn't know if the troops on the inner path of the city wall could kill them.

"Brothers, hold me back!" With a loud roar, Liu Yun raised his spear and rushed to the stairs on the side of the city tower.

The stairs were condescending, and the spears of nearly two people stabbed down, obviously giving Han Bing great interference, although Han Bing rushed up desperately, but in the end they all turned into corpses and rolled down the stairs, which became an obstacle for their comrades. That's the good thing about taking a high place.

confirmed that the castle tower was indeed recaptured by the royal family, and the Han army suddenly became anxious. At this time, there were no less than a few thousand Korean soldiers who had entered the city, defending in the west and attacking in the east and north, and because of the width of the street, the largest number of troops to attack the north, at least more than 3,000 people, had almost wiped out Li Ding, but at this time the Gaomen city tower had been lost, these Korean soldiers obviously could not be calm anymore, and the commander of this army obviously could not be calm, so the commander gave an order, and the Korean army as a whole retreated and slowly pressed in the direction of Gaomen.

Seeing that the Korean army was retreating as a whole, how could Li Ding still be able to hold back, and couldn't help shouting at the royal army in the rear, which was lined up in a neat queue, "Zhang Hu, I know that you led the troops to defend here, and the Han army has retreated at this time, why don't you bring the troops to press?" Why not drive the South Korean army out of the city in one go? ”

What a good opportunity this is, the South Korean army slowly retreated, wanting to recapture the Gaomen Tower again, otherwise the road is very likely to be cut off, does the current South Korean army still have the heart to attack the north again? In Li Ding's opinion, if this opportunity is grasped, he is afraid that he will be able to immediately overshadow the friendly army that recaptured the city tower and put on the greatest aura of this defensive battle.

But the group of royal soldiers in the rear was still lined up in a neat line, with spears pointing outward, although they were all recruits, although some people were trembling, but the queue was still neat, still, not moving.

Li Dingzhen wanted to take his own people to kill him, but when he looked at his side, he shook his head, because it was estimated that there were less than eighty people around him, and there were many injuries and exhaustion, how could he fight again? It's a pity that my nearly 2,000 recruits have just enlisted in the army and haven't been trained for long, so they were buried in the dark night, and their bodies were trampled on. Li Ding believes that if it was his old department in Mengjin, it would never be such a result, but he was afraid that he would have been able to drive the Han soldiers out of the city, but the reality was no if.

Li Ding closed his eyes hatefully, his body was weak and wanted to sit on the ground and take a good rest, but he didn't want to be at this moment, a shout sounded from behind, "Is General Li Ding ahead?" A certain centurion Zhang Hu, in charge of the defense here, this is the king's order, let our troops concentrate on defense, the enemy is only one step on Pingmen Street, our army will not be allowed to go out to kill the enemy. ”

Someone answered, Li Ding hurriedly ran in the direction where the voice came from, but after running a few steps, he found that he was greeted by a few spears.

The shout sounded again, "I'm sorry, General Li Ding, the king has an order, those who trespass into the military formation, there is no forgiveness, tonight is an extraordinary period, I hope General Li Ding will understand, and in the future, a certain Zhang Huding should personally come to the door to make amends." ”

Li Ding didn't care about anything else, grabbed the spear with his hand and shouted, "Zhang Hu, at this time, the Han army turned around and recaptured Gaomen, and has no intention of killing us again, if you don't kill the enemy at this time, when will you wait?" Moreover, our army in front is defending the Gaomen tower, and the Korean army retreats to Gaomen, which is to recapture the tower, if the general leads his troops to kill the generals, it will also reduce the pressure on our army on Gaomen, please think twice! ”

In the black team, Li Dingjiao couldn't see where Zhang Hu was, but Zhang Hu was silent and didn't answer for a while, obviously a little excited.

But it didn't take long for Zhang Hu to give his answer, "I'm sorry, General Li Ding, I still can't instigate, and it's not too late to act when the king has a new order." ”

Li Ding jumped up, "It's not late, how can it not be late?" It's too late, and when the Korean army recaptures the tower, it'll be too late to say anything. ”

"I still can't instigate, most of the teams under a certain are new soldiers, and they can't afford to fight hard, so they still have to wait for the king's orders." Zhang Hu still shook his head firmly, but Li Ding couldn't see this action.

"Shaft, don't be sensible!" Li Ding stomped his feet with hatred, he really hated iron and steel, but he was helpless. "Isn't that enough to do with a bow and arrow? Why haven't you seen your bows and arrows since the Korean soldiers rushed to within fifty paces? ”

"General Li Ding, my recruit team is not equipped with bows and crossbows." Zhang Hu replied coldly.

Alas, such a good opportunity, just let it go, Li Ding looked at the Han army squeezing backwards in the direction of Gaomen, sighed, and sat on the ground.

The Han army on the street slowly retreated, and in the blink of an eye, they had already retreated dozens of paces, leaving a large open space, leaving corpses all over the ground, including Korean soldiers, royal soldiers, and more of the latter.

Li Ding's eyes fell on the corpses all over the ground again, the soldiers who were still eating together yesterday and had been reprimanded by themselves had all turned into cold corpses at this time, Li Ding threw the spear in his hand on the ground fiercely, and let out a general roar, and he didn't know who he was scolding in his heart, was it Han Bing, or Zhang Hu who did not act? Or, is it still a king who interferes with the generals in front of him who are too ruthless?

Li Ding himself didn't know.

The Han army is still slowly pressing in the direction of Gaomen, the Han army under the Gaomen tower has been shooting arrows upwards in an organized manner, and the Han soldiers on both sides are even more desperate to rush up, killing Liu Yun The tip of the spear is no longer sharp, and the spear shaft is slightly curved, as if the spear shaft will be broken if the next enemy soldier is picked down.

However, the offensive of the Korean army was more ferocious than one another, and the rain of arrows was pouring into the city tower inside and outside the Gaomen, and the royal soldiers suffered serious losses, but there were only four or five hundred fighters left, and they were desperately guarding the stairs on both sides, preventing the Han soldiers from stepping on the city tower again. At this time, it is already the time for the two sides to fight each other, and human life is nothing at this moment.

At this time, in the north of Luoyang City, in the main hall of the main gate of the palace, the king, the young master and others had just received the news that Liu Yun had captured the city tower.

"Congratulations to my king, the city tower is in my hands again, and Luoyang is worry-free!"

And Zhou Bian naturally wouldn't think so, "Taishi, it's a little early to congratulate now, Liu Yun only has about 2,000 people, and he has captured the city tower at this time, but I am afraid that he will also suffer heavy losses, and the Han army can continue to come in from outside the city, and I don't know how long Liu Yun can hold on, and he can hold on until the Han army is driven out of Luoyang City and the gate of Gaomen is closed, so it is worth celebrating." ”

As soon as he heard what the king said, the Taishi immediately reacted, he was indeed a little out of shape, so the old man blushed, arched his hand, and sat down.

However, the recapture of the city tower is indeed good news, Zhou Bian's spirit is also lifted, and he immediately ordered, "Young Master, hurry up and arrange, transfer Pang Xing's 2,000 archers to rush to Gaomen from the east, use bows and arrows to suppress the Korean troops inside and outside the city, and then order Tu Meng to lead his troops to cross Zhang Hu, besiege the Han soldiers who entered the city under the city tower, and then transfer 3,000 people to demolish the house in the southeast corner of Luoyang City, move the bricks and tiles obtained from the demolition from the city wall to Gaomen, and throw them down in the direction of the inner side on the Gaomen City Tower, and block the city gate hole. Don't throw it in the direction of the city. Hurry up and arrange it, and when Liu Yun is still alive, be sure to arrange it in place. ”

"No!" Knowing that the matter was urgent, the young master got up and arched his hand, and then ran out, and the armor of his whole body was shaking when he ran, and there was a loud bang.

Yes, this is a critical moment, whether to continue to pay more casualties, or to close the Gaomen here, it depends on it. Zhou Bian couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, Liu Yun was really good, and he didn't live up to the trust.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Taishi suddenly interjected, "King, the old man doesn't know, why can't you throw bricks in the direction of the outside of the city, and throw them in both directions at the same time, it will be faster." ”

Obviously, the Taishi is not very knowledgeable about military affairs, so Zhou Bian explained with a smile, "If you throw it outside the city, the bricks will block the city gate, but the Han soldiers can climb along the bricks to the city tower, which is still not conducive to our defense of the city." ”

"Then throw it into the city, won't the Han soldiers in the city climb up?" Taishi was still puzzled.

"Is there more Korean soldiers inside the city, or are there more Korean soldiers outside the city?" Zhou Bian still smiled.

"Of course it's outside the city, oh, the old man understands." Taishi patted his head.

"However, why did Tu Meng lead his troops to cross Zhang Hu to besiege the Han soldiers, and why didn't Zhang Hu attack directly?"

"Zhang Hu's first is almost all recruits, and the middle and lower-level officers under Tu Meng's subordinates have been trained for a long time, and the closest to the Korean army, and the one who can fight again is Tu Meng's first one, as for the elites in the army such as Pangxing Wang Sun Jian, they still have to defend the east gate and cannot be moved."

Taishi nodded and didn't ask again.

The hall was quiet again, and a waiter handed the king and his courtiers soup to drink, and it was estimated that they would be awakened in the middle of the night, and nearly two hours had passed, and perhaps it would not be long before the day dawned. And when it is dawn, if the Gaomen can no longer be closed, I am afraid that more Korean soldiers will pour into the city, and at that time, it will be difficult to expel the Korean troops from the city.

I hope that Liu Yun can guard the Gaomen Tower that he has just recaptured, and hold on until the moment when the people re-block the city gate hole with bricks, Zhou Bian couldn't help but pray in his heart.

After a while, the young master ran in, "King, everything has been arranged, and I have just received reports from all over the city, there is no riot in the south of Luoyang City, everything is as usual, there is no Han soldier on the four city walls except for Gaomen, but there is a little disturbance in the west of the city, and Doctor Ning Yue is leading the guards of the city to calm down, it should be fine." ”

"Well, that's good. The most feared thing is that there are people in the city to answer, and it will not be easy to do. Zhou Bian nodded, no wonder he didn't see Ning Yue, it turned out that he went to patrol the city, and those small riots were only due to the credit of Korean secret agents, but those few people couldn't make any waves, and Ning Yue's city guard division was enough.

And the key is still Gaomen, it must be another bloody battle, and I don't know how many people will die.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bian suddenly remembered someone, maybe he had remembered it a long time ago, but he never asked. "Taishi, young master, do you know where Sima Tu who guarded Gaomen went?"

Both of them were stunned, "Without news of him, could it be that he died in battle?" ”

It seems that most of the time is the case, although the Han army was able to sneak up on Gaomen, but if it costs his life or teaches him a lesson, then even if he is a king, he can't say anything.

Several people were silent, and suddenly another sergeant came to report, "Report to the king, Taishi and young master, the three roads of the Korean army to the north to the east and to the west have all retreated to Gaomen, the east city wall and the inner path of the city wall have fallen into my hands, Liu Yun stepped in addition to defending the city tower, the rest of the troops launched an attack on the Han soldiers on the path under the city wall, and General Tu Qiang, who killed from the gate in the west, also successfully chased down the Gaomen City Tower, so far the Gaomen City Tower and the city walls on both sides have all fallen into my hands, and General Tu Qiang commanded the soldiers to attack the Han soldiers under the city tower, During this period, General Li Ding also persuaded General Zhang Hu to chase the enemy, but he refused on the grounds that he did not receive the king's order, so when the villain came to report, the back of the Korean army was also in the north, except for the scattered arrows on the houses on both sides, there was no attack. ”

After waving his hand to signal the sergeant to go down, the Taishi became angry, "Zhang Hu, this guy, I don't know how to seize the opportunity, and I am pedantic." ”

Turning his head to look, he saw that the young master also had the same expression, but Zhou Bian smiled, "Zhang Hu's subordinates are all recruits, even if they pursue, I'm afraid they won't be able to please them." ”

"However, as long as we pursue, we can share the pressure for Liu Yun, and our hope of holding the city tower is greater." This time, it was the young master who spoke.

"The matter has come to this, it can only be like this, at this time, Tu Meng's army is afraid that it has arrived in Gaomen, let's wait for the news."

For a while, there was no sound in the hall, but Zhou Bian's eyes kept staring at the outside of the hall, and in a blink of an eye, the sky outside turned slightly blue, so soon, the sky was about to dawn.
