When night fell, Yanghu timely Mingjin retreated, the ant attached to the siege is not better than the stone siege, can launch a strong attack day and night, in the dark, the besieging side can only pay a greater price.

Soldiers are not afraid of death and sacrifice, but it does not mean that the main general can squander their lives wantonly and obtain the greatest war benefits with the smallest casualty cost, which is the quality required by an excellent general.

After dinner, the soldiers of the infantry battalion dragged their tired bodies to lie down and rest, but the lights were still bright in the tent of the Chinese army, and Yanghu urgently summoned Ma Long, Du Pre, and Lianhong to discuss the strategy of attacking the city overnight.

Although the Naju army breached the outer wall of Sindu, the defenders did not suffer much loss, and now that these defensive forces have retreated to the inner wall, it will be an extremely fierce battle to break through the inner city when the catapults cannot be used.

Time is tight, the task is heavy, is the biggest problem in front of them, no one is complacent about breaking through the outer wall, if they can't successfully take Xindu City before the arrival of Sima Division's reinforcements, then all the results they have achieved before will be in vain, there is no meaning, those soldiers who died in battle, will die in vain.

Yanghu first shared the gains and losses of the siege this afternoon, it is impossible to take Xindu City in such a short time, but it does not prevent Yanghu from grasping the first-hand information of the siege.

Yanghu believes that although there are many soldiers in Jizhou, with as many as 70,000 soldiers and horses, most of the defenders are newly recruited troops, and the combat ability of these soldiers is uneven.

For Yanghu's proposal, the other three unanimously agreed, if only the infantry battalion was allowed to attack the city, then with all its troops, it would only be 15,000 people, and with 15,000 people wanted to break through the city guarded by 70,000 people, unless these 70,000 people were made of paper, the infantry battalion really had no chance.

Therefore, the attack on the inner city of Xindu, the other three battalions must also be involved, the main reason why they did not participate in today's battle is that there is too late, but by tomorrow, all the infantry will join the ranks of attacking the inner city of Xindu, there is no doubt about this, even if Yanghu did not take the initiative to propose, Du Yu and others will also strongly ask to participate in the siege operation.

Now that they had agreed to attack all four infantry battalions, the next step was to discuss the plan of attack.

At present, the outer wall of Shinto Castle has been torn open, and the infantry battalion has entered it along this gap and launched an attack on the inner city.

But the width of this gap is only half a mile, and if it is for an infantry battalion, it is enough for them to get in and out, but if all four infantry battalions are gathered here, it is indeed a little too crowded, and it is not conducive to the operation of a large army at all.

According to the current situation, after the collapse of the outer city wall, the Jizhou army did not make any resistance, but took the initiative to give up all the outer defense lines and withdrew to the inner city wall, so whether it was the collapsed section of the city wall or the other three sides of the city wall that had not collapsed, there was no Jizhou army to guard it.

This is obviously from Lu Zhao's order, after the collapse of the outer city wall, perhaps Lu Zhao thinks that there is no longer any value in holding on, sending troops to stay behind the city wall that has not yet collapsed, it is just to increase casualties, and it is not in line with the plan of concentrating troops to defend the inner city with all his might, so it is not surprising to take the initiative to abandon the outer city wall.

This obviously also facilitated the attack of the state army, which could enter the city of Sindu through various gates and attack the inner city of Sindu.

After discussion, their four battalions were responsible for attacking Xindu City from four directions, Yanghu led the infantry battalion to still attack the east gate of Xindu, and Ma Long just took the lead in the camp to attack the south gate of Xindu, as for the west gate and the north gate, Du pre-led the shooting battalion and the left guard battalion led by Zhan Hong to attack, four ways of men and horses, four directions, and the state army will launch an unprecedented offensive.

As for the time of the attack, Yang Hu suggested that the other three battalions be a little slower, and the infantry battalion would take the lead in attacking again along yesterday's offensive line, presumably Lu Zhao would also think that the east gate was the focus of the attack of the Bingzhou army, and he would inevitably concentrate the main elite on the east gate, while the other three sides would be relatively empty in defense, so that when the other three battalions attacked, the pressure on the attack would be less.

In the Bingzhou army, there will be no idea of grabbing merit, and Yanghu took the initiative to bear the pressure of the main force of the Jizhou army, which invisibly greatly reduced the hope of the infantry battalion taking the lead in capturing the inner city of Xindu.

But Yanghu didn't care at all, if the infantry battalion could pave a smooth road for the rest of the people, it would be at the expense of no matter how much it tried.

No matter which battalion took the lead in taking Xindu City, it was the glory of the Bingzhou army, and Yanghu had no idea of grabbing merit at all.

The four of them discussed until the second half of the night, and the details of each operation were carefully designed, and it was the first time that the four infantry battalions worked together, and how to effectively cooperate also required the four commanders to have detailed exchanges, so as to avoid mistakes.

The other three then returned to their respective camps to prepare, and after daybreak, the men and horses of each strip would take considerable action.

After Yanghu sent the three away, there was almost no time to close his eyes, the infantry battalion will be the first wave of attack missions today, in order to attract more main forces of the Jizhou army, the infantry battalion's attack must be fierce enough.

After yesterday's battle was over, Yanghu did not withdraw all his troops and horses to the garrison, but left thousands of people in this gap in the city wall to prevent the Jizhou army from taking advantage of the night to sneak attack and recapture this lost position.

This is also the most cautious place for Yanghu, in fact, for Lu Zhao, the collapsed city wall and the cracked city wall are completely different things, the city wall has cracks, and there is value in repair, but once it collapses, it is basically hopeless to repair.

Of course, if Lu Zhao is given some time, he will definitely be able to complete the repair of the collapsed city wall and make it stronger, but the problem is that the state army will not give him this opportunity at all, even if the gap is there, unattended, and it will be a fool's dream and whimsical to restore it overnight.
