The situation was stalemate in silence, half an hour passed in a flash, and the entire inner city of Xindu was still as silent as death, and no one dared to stand up first.

Zhao Hai, the captain of the left army, said to Yang Hu: "General Yang, these people are stubborn, there is no need to wait, the last general is willing to lead a team to take the lead and take Xindu in one fell swoop!" ”

Yang Hu said in a deep voice: "General Ben said to give them an hour, then wait for them for an hour, how can you be untrustworthy?" Moreover, when General Ben looks at the enemy's movements, not all people will regard death as home, especially those ordinary people, how can they have the idea of swearing to live and die together in the city, they are just afraid of Lu Zhao's power and dare not act rashly. Captain Zhao, you will lead a hundred battle rafts, take the lead in entering the waters between the inner and outer cities, and put on a posture to prepare for an attack, intimidating them, it is estimated that some people will not be able to bear it, but remember, without the order of General Ben, you cannot start the siege. ”

Yanghu has long seen the situation in front of him, if there are some people who swear to fight to the death and never surrender, he will definitely believe it, but if it is said that hundreds of thousands of Jizhou soldiers and civilians are united in their hearts and hatred for the enemy, and they are willing to die for the Sima clan, then it is pure nonsense.

The main reason why no one dares to surrender is that no one dares to be this bird, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, at this time, whoever stands up first and says that I want to surrender, it is purely an act of looking for death, with Lu Zhao in charge, no one will dare to take the initiative to stand up and take this risk.

What's more, if in peacetime, people who want to surrender don't need to express their position, they just need to flee to the camp of the Bingzhou army, but now, where to flee, there is a sea of front and back, jumping into the flood, that is to send death!

So these people are in a dilemma, trying to escape is a dead end, and the first person who wants to surrender must have no chance of survival, they are in a dilemma, so they can only choose to wait and see.

The reason why Yanghu sent Zhao Hai to lead the raft forward, the main purpose is to intimidate the soldiers and civilians of Jizhou, isn't it difficult for you to make a decision, then help them make a decision, when people are not at stake in life and death, it is really difficult to make a decision, but when they are really on the verge of death, they will make a decision quickly.

Pressure is motivation, and if you don't put pressure on them, they won't surrender voluntarily.

When these rafts of the Bingzhou army approached the inner city wall, they quickly caused an uproar among the crowd, could it be said that after no one surrendered, the Bingzhou army was not ready to give them even an hour, and was the first to attack?

This made the soldiers and civilians in the city panic, it seems that their life and death have come in advance, and if they don't make a choice, the bows and arrows of the state army will definitely be ruthless.

In desperation, a man was the first to shout: "I want to surrender!" Then he jumped into the water, obviously the man was a swimmer, he knew that after he shouted this, someone would come against him, so he simply jumped into the water, and swam desperately to the raft of the Bingzhou army, as long as he could escape there, he would definitely be able to pick up a life.

The man's actions were done in one go, he had already calculated it, and as soon as the words fell, he jumped into the water.

Sure enough, the Jizhou soldiers around them were half a beat slower, and when they came back to their senses, the man had already jumped into the water first, and he couldn't catch up.

"Shoot him with arrows!" One of the tooth keepers shouted loudly, he was loyal to Lu Zhao's descendant, and of course he could not tolerate such a betrayal, and immediately ordered the archers to shoot and shoot the betrayer to death in the water.

Several archers immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot into the water, but they did not hit the man, who continued to swim towards the raft of the state army.

Zhao Hai saw that it was not easy for a bold person to take the initiative to stand up and surrender, if he was shot by the Jizhou army, then the rest of the people must be more afraid, if he got the help of the Bingzhou army, if he could escape with his life, he would definitely encourage more people who were trying to survive to stand up and surrender.

So Zhao Hai ordered the raft to be rowed towards the man, and at the same time ordered the crossbowmen on the raft to counterattack, reflecting towards the archers to prevent them from pursuing the man further.

The bow and arrow had no eyes, and the people on the city wall were too dense, and the counterattack of the state army naturally could not shoot all these archers, but injured a lot of innocents, and many unarmed civilians fell.

Of course, this anger is not aimed at the state army, but at those archers, if it is not for the arrows they shot first, it is impossible for the state army to reflect, then these archers must be responsible for the dead civilians.

After the civilians landed in the city, most of them gathered together according to the distance of kinship, and the few people who were shot and killed had relatives around them, and the angry crowd pushed up the archers, although they had weapons, but they couldn't stand the strength of the civilians, and before they could resist, they had been pushed into the water by the people.

And this time, the man who jumped into the water and fled was also rescued by the state army and pulled onto the raft. His successful escape inspired countless civilians, who shouted the slogan of surrender, hoping that the rafts of the state army would come to their rescue.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in an instant, the vast majority of the civilians in the city responded one after another, and after having such a bird, the rest of the matter was logical, no longer afraid, no longer afraid, all the people were shouting in unison to surrender, what a spectacular scene.

At first, it was just the civilian surnames shouting, but later, many soldiers joined in the shouting, and in order to express their determination to surrender, these soldiers threw their weapons into the water, raised their hands, and surrendered to the state army.

The entire defense line was also in a state of collapse, and the Yamen general who was loyal to Lu Zhao originally wanted to suppress the surrendered civilians, but he soon found that the surrounding civilians and troops were in a frenzy of surrender, and at this time, not only did no one obey his orders, but even if he dared to object, he would definitely be thrown into the water by this group of violent people.

When the city was hit by a flood before, Lu Zhao was moved by compassion and let these civilians go to the city to avoid the flood, but he didn't expect that this group of people turned out to be white wolves, and when they saw the attack of the Bingzhou army, they took the initiative to surrender to the enemy.

Although these civilians had no weapons, their number was too many, and the Jizhou army had nothing to deal with at all, and the Yamen general could only turn his attention to Lu Zhao for help.
