Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs standing in front of the main hall, Lord Wang's brows furrowed deeply. He couldn't imagine what these men would be like when they went into battle, he seemed to have heard their screams and begs for mercy. But when he found the confident smile on the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, he didn't know why, but instead gave birth to a trace of expectation.

The deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army walked quickly to Tong Yan's side, and then knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Highness, except for a few Niangniang's personal palace maids, except for the old and young women and children, the other eunuchs and palace maids are all here." ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan nodded and smiled: "You did a good job, tell me your name!" ”

When the deputy commander heard this, he hurriedly clenched his fist and put it on his chest, and said loudly: "Your Highness, my name is Lei Tong, and I am the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army!" ”

Tong Yan looked at the resolute middle-aged man in front of him, and said with satisfaction: "General Lei, after this battle, I will let you be promoted to two levels." Don't let me down! ”

"Yes, the end will be fixed on the liver and brain, and I will not give up!"

"Liver and brain? No, no, no, we'll win. Trust me, we're going to win! Go and bring all the weapons and armor in the armory, I want to change the clothes of these beautiful palace maids and graceful eunuchs! ”

Hearing this, Lei Tong immediately responded: "Yes, the last general will obey!" ”

The crown princess, who had been following Tong Yan but had never spoken, couldn't stand still, so she whispered to Tong Yan: "Your Highness, are you tired?" Shall I move you a chair? You've been standing for a long time! ”

Tong Yan smiled slightly: "It's you who are tired, now that the war is coming, do you think we still have time to sit down and rest?" If you're really bored, then I'll give you a task. Interested? ”

When the crown princess heard this, she immediately nodded and responded: "Yes, what task?" ”

"Go and let these palace maids and eunuchs below stand in eight columns, and they are not allowed to make trouble, and they are not allowed to talk to each other. Can you do it? ”

Hearing this, the crown princess said confidently: "Of course it can be done, I often go to the barracks to play, isn't it just the whole army?" Leave it to me, and you'll see! With that, she walked briskly down the steps and went over to straighten out the formation.

Looking at the back of the crown princess, Tong Yan inexplicably remembered Tan Yu. "I don't know how that stupid girl is now, I really want to get out of here quickly and reunite with her."

The crown princess came to the palace maid and the eunuch and immediately shouted and commanded. Although these palace maids and eunuchs were a little reluctant, due to the status of the crown princess, they could only do it obediently.

Ten minutes later, under the roar of the crown princess, these eunuchs and palace maids really stood in a phalanx, which made Tong Yan a little impressed. No wonder this princess likes to wear strong clothes, it turns out that her body is flowing with the blood of warriors.

As long as these eunuchs and palace maids can be obedient, Tong Yan will have the confidence to repel the thieves and sit firmly in the court.

After a while, Lei Tong had already led the Imperial Forest Army to the front of the palace with weapons and armor.

Tong Yan directly ordered them to distribute weapons and armor to these eunuchs and palace maids, and after ten minutes of rectification, a new army was born.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and after these eunuchs and palace maids put on armor, they really have a little meaning. It's a pity that most of these weapons are spears, and there are many palace maids who can only carry them, but they can't lift them.

This is actually the drawback of the cold weapon generation, in today's society, one person and one gun, how can there be so many troubles.

Tong Yan didn't have time to study firearms for them here, and as the time got closer, he had to start arranging the formation. I hope that the ministers who acted as lobbyists did not run in vain, otherwise, even if they were deployed, they would not be able to stop the impact of 10,000 anti-thieves.

For the palace, Tong Yan had already walked around in person, so he already had a complete map of the palace in his heart.

There are more than a dozen gates in the whole palace, and there are four gates connecting the walls of the imperial city, which are the South Meridian Gate, the Dongyang Gate, the North Meridian Gate and the Xiyang Gate.

The outer city gate belongs to the South Meridian Gate and the North Meridian Gate, as for the Dongyang Gate and the Xiyang Gate are only side gates, the area is much smaller.

In this way, such speculations can be drawn. If the large army of anti-thieves wants to enter the imperial city, they are bound to launch a fierce attack on the South and North Meridian Gate. The focus of defense is, of course, these two gates. However, this does not mean that Dongyangmen and Xiyangmen are safe, and there should be a slightly smaller but most powerful force in charge of attacking.

As long as the elite troops at the side gate take the lead in breaking into the palace, the anti-thieves will basically win half. When the time comes, the large army that will respond to the strong attack at the main gate will be completed, and the entire imperial city will be lost.

So Tong Yan came to the conclusion that the two main gates seem to be the most important, but in fact, the two side doors are the most important.

He must focus his defense on the two side gates, as long as the elite of the anti-thieves cannot attack the imperial city, the military spirit of the anti-thieves is bound to be frustrated, and when the time comes, the opportunity to turn the tables will naturally come.

After a short analysis, he decided to draw 600 of the more than 600 people of the Royal Forest Army, and 300 people each to guard the Dongyang Gate and the Xiyang Gate. The remaining dozens of Imperial Guards assisted the new army of eunuchs and palace maids, who were despised by everyone, and they guarded the South and North Meridian Gates in two ways.

As for the 100 dead soldiers specially prepared by the general, he was used for other purposes, and he was not in the arrangement for the time being.

The plan is determined, and he still needs to do one very important thing now, that is, to point the general. There must be no mistake in guarding the four gates, and no matter which one is breached first, the defense line of the imperial city may be torn apart. And the generals who are responsible for guarding the four gates are particularly crucial.

The deputy commander named Lei Tong was a good candidate, so there were three fewer people. The Great General has been on the battlefield for a long time and is also worth reusing. It's a pity that Wu Saburo hasn't returned yet, otherwise he would also be a usable talent.

The remaining two goalkeepers, Tong Yan had no choice available for a while. He thought to himself for a while, and finally moved his gaze to Lord Wang.

He is the prime minister of the dynasty, maybe he will provide himself with a candidate. Thinking of this, Tong Yan immediately spoke: "Lord Wang, you have been an official for many years, and you should be extremely accurate. I need two goalkeepers, do you have the right one? ”

Lord Wang was stunned when he heard this, and then he thought about it. Tong Yan did not urge, but waited patiently.

After a while, he finally thought of a candidate, and immediately replied: "Your Highness, although there are many generals in this dynasty, they have all been sent to the border, and now in the palace, there are quite few talents available, but there are two people, I think it can be of great use." ”

When Tong Yan heard this, he immediately asked, "I don't know which two?" ”

Lord Wang hurriedly said: "First, he is the son of a great general, although he has just passed the age of the weak crown, he has grown up in the barracks since he was a child, and he has studied the art of war. I saw him following the general just now, so I might as well give him an order and let him try. As for this second person, it is the demon concubine who was beaten into the cold palace by the former emperor. Although the demon concubine is not a person, she is also a heroine among women, and her skills are not weak men. Your Highness might as well summon her to take a look, maybe it will have some effect! ”

Demon Princess? Tong Yan's face couldn't help but show a smile, if there is really a monster in this palace, used to deal with the thief, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise.

"Okay, quickly get these two for me, I'll wait here!"
