Strictly speaking, the Bingzhou army did not fight a siege war in the true sense of the word.

The earliest team of the Bingzhou army was the Yue cavalry battalion, which was only a cavalry team of 700 people, which was once called the "waste army" by the Wei army, and under the leadership of Cao Liang, participated in the battle of Hanzhong, and was tempered and developed in the war. It wasn't until Cao Liang led his division to the Northern Expedition against the Xiongnu that the five schools of the Northern Army officially joined his command, and the state army began to take shape.

From a few hundred to a few thousand, and finally to 150,000 soldiers, the state army has experienced countless wars, and has continued to grow and develop in the flames of war, becoming a world-famous and sharp division.

However, the Bingzhou army has experienced countless battles, most of which are field battles, few siege battles, and occasionally attack some cities, but they are just cleaning up the mess and fighting relatively easily.

On the contrary, there were a lot of defensive battles in the city, and in the early days of its establishment, especially when it confronted Sima Yi, most of the time it was strategic defense, focusing on defense and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

After the battle of Jinzhong, although the Bingzhou army was transferred to the strategic counteroffensive, but the attack on Youzhou was almost a horse Pingchuan, and the Youzhou army was forced to retreat again and again to defend Linyu Pass.

originally thought that the attack on Linyu Pass would be a vicious battle, but in the end, it was Cao Liang who bypassed Linyu Pass and succeeded in attacking Liucheng, turning this battle into invisible.

Therefore, before attacking Jizhou, the Bingzhou army did not fight a siege war in the real sense, even if it was the battle of Lecheng, it was Yanghu who simply used catapults to destroy the city walls of Lecheng very violently, making the originally complex battle much simpler.

However, Lecheng's success could not be replicated in Xindu, and the double-walled defensive structure of Xindu City forced the Bingzhou army to continue to attack the inner city with primitive siege methods after stripping off a layer of Xindu's shell.

Adopting the primitive siege method is a test for all the generals of the Bingzhou Army, after all, they have no real experience in attacking the city before, especially attacking this kind of city with strong defense, complete defense and large number of troops, it is indeed a difficult problem.

Siege warfare is indeed difficult to fight, those famous siege battles in history have been fought for a long time, as little as March and May, as much as three years and five years, and even a city attack and defense war, and there are decades of fighting, it is difficult not to become a classic.

The Bingzhou army lacks nothing, whether it is soldiers or equipment, whether it is morale or fighting spirit, there is no shortage of anything, the only thing lacking, I'm afraid is time, starting from the capture of Lecheng, full of battles, left for the Bingzhou army, there is only one month, and they sent troops from the Bingzhou army to clean up the periphery of Xindu, it took at least half a month, so when they arrived at the city of Xindu, in fact, there was not much time left.

In just half a month, it was an almost impossible task to break through the city of Xindu, which was guarded by 70,000 troops, in the eyes of many people, and it was too difficult for the Bingzhou army, which only had 60,000 infantry to participate in the siege!

In ordinary siege warfare, the number of troops on the besieging side is two or three times that of the defending side, or even ten times, and there is no absolute superiority in troops, let alone a siege, even if it is a siege, it is also a luxury.

However, the Bingzhou army relied on a strong cavalry force, which was enough to deter the defenders of Xindu, not to mention the number of defenders in Xindu, but they only dared to retreat in the city, and they didn't even have the slightest intention of going out of the city to fight.

In fact, this is a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is that the Jizhou infantry does not need to worry about the Jizhou army going out of the city to raid and disrupt the position of the Jizhou army.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, the defenders dare not go out of the city, then the state army will lose the opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole to divert the tiger from the mountain, the Jizhou army really has no other thoughts except for one mind to defend the city.

As for persuasion to surrender, it is even more of a fool's dream, although it is said that the army is plotting, and the besiegers are the most important, but it also depends on the object, people like Biqiu Jian who are not on good terms with the Sima clan have a chance to be convinced, but for die-hard elements like Lu Zhao, no matter how many lobbyists are sent, it is in vain.

Not to mention that the battle situation is not clear now, and there is no sign of the loss of Xindu City, even if it is really at the end of the road, it may not be able to make Lu Zhao surrender.

So Yanghu didn't bother to bother with that lip and tongue, and it was even possible that he gave the messenger's life in vain, according to his understanding, Lu Zhao was a stubborn person, and he would rather bend than bend, he was the minions of Sima Yi's faction in Jizhou, and he was determined to go all the way to the black role, typical people who don't see the coffin don't shed tears, and even if they see the coffin, they may not shed tears.

And Lu Zhao is not a mediocre person, although he is not a famous general, but after all, he is also a powerful character, Yanghu originally tried to use a strong attack to induce Lu Zhao to mobilize people, but it seems that he still failed, from the news fed back from other places, they have been met with stubborn resistance, the current progress is not smooth, the siege war is in a stalemate stage, and the state army wants to take Xindu City in a short time, the difficulty is indeed relatively large.

This has obviously become a difficult problem in front of Yanghu, the most powerful catapult is not used at present, and many large siege equipment is also difficult to transport in, so when the state army is attacking the city, it seems to be overstretched, and the original advantage cannot be brought into play at all.

Moreover, attacking a fortified city like Xindu with a well-defended and strong army is not what they are good at, whether it is for Yanghu or Du Zhu Ma Long Zhihong, to be honest, they are also exploring experience in actual combat to find the most effective way to siege the city.

If they were given enough time, they would definitely be able to find a good way to break through the city, but now that the time is too short, there is no room for buffering and thinking, and Yanghu Du predicts that they have no good way for the time being, but to mobilize all their forces and launch a strong attack on Xindu at all costs.

If one day doesn't work, then they will fight for two days, and if two days won't work, then they will continue to attack until they break through Xindu.

This siege battle was carried out very tragically, both sides went all out, invested in the strength of pressing the bottom of the box, spared no effort to attack and defend, in order to compete for the city, both sides were really red-eyed.

This is a battle in which no one can retreat, and no one can afford the consequences of defeat, and the commanders on both sides know this, so this battle has entered a white-hot degree from the beginning, and the battle situation is extremely stalemate, and the fight is the will, and the will has become the strength of who persists to the end.
