Lu Zhao listened to Liang Dai's suggestion, bowed his head slightly, and was about to give an order, but he heard a person behind him say urgently: "No!" ”

Lu Zhao looked back, but it was his second son Lu An. Among Lu Zhao's three sons, Lu An's knowledge and talent are the highest, and Lu Zhao stayed by his side and used it as the main secretary.

Lu Zhao frowned slightly, and said, "An'er, what do you think?" Lu Zhao was extremely strict with others, but he was relatively kind to his son, and did not reprimand Lu An because he raised a different opinion, but asked patiently.

Lu An arched his hand and said: "Father wants to transfer the old troops from other places to come, the child thinks that it is absolutely impossible, and the state army is besieging the city on all sides, but why is it only attacking the east gate, it is obviously ulterior motives, and my father must not fall for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

Lu Zhao thought for a moment, there are indeed some problems with the offensive of the Bingzhou army, don't look at the current offensive of the Bingzhou army is extremely fierce, but if you calculate carefully, at best, it only used more than 10,000 people, you must know that the Bingzhou army besieging Xindu has almost reached more than 100,000 people, and if you throw away the cavalry, there are more than 60,000 infantry alone, so now the team participating in the siege is just a part of the Bingzhou army, and it is difficult to have nothing to worry about.

If, according to the suggestion of the Liang Dynasty, the descendants of the troops stationed in various places were transferred to the east gate, then the defenses in other places would become empty, and once they were attacked by the Bingzhou army, they would not be able to resist the attack of the Bingzhou army alone.

Lu An's words reminded Lu Zhao that this offensive and defensive battle can not only be won by virtue of combat power, but also by fighting wits and courage, otherwise if you are not careful, you will probably lose the whole game.

Liang Dai said: "Although the words of the second prince are reasonable, but now the east gate is in danger, if you don't send additional reinforcements, it is likely that this side will not be able to hold it." ”

Lu An said calmly: "The situation is critical now, but the Bingzhou army is very powerful, and when the Bingzhou army attacks the halfway wall, those arrows will stop, it is impossible for them to kill themselves by mistake, and when this time comes, our army can counterattack with all their strength and repel the enemy." ”

Lu An's voice fell, and the arrows of the Bingzhou army became sparse, and soon stopped completely, poking his head out of the city wall to look at it, and sure enough, the Bingzhou army had already attacked half of the wall, and then climbed up, almost to the top of the city.

Liang Dai was overjoyed and said: "The second son is really clever." ”

Lu Zhao couldn't help but glance at Lu An, in Lu Zhao's impression, his son reads well, and the articles are also written beautifully, but he does not have a military boundary, Lu Zhao appointed him as the main memory, and he also took a fancy to his literary talent, but he didn't expect that he was strategic, which made Lu Zhao also impressed, it seems that the Lu family is really a successor.

Although Lu An is weak, he has a thorough view of the current situation, and the offensive of the state army looks fierce, but the number of troops they invest is limited after all, although most of the Jizhou army is newly recruited, but it is better because of the large number of people, and many ants can bite the elephant to death, so Lu An is not too worried about the defense of the east gate, but is worried about the other three city gates.

After all, there has not yet been a battle on those three sides, and all the attention of the Jizhou army is focused on the east gate, and after Lu Zhao transfers the most elite old troops away, the sudden attack of the Jizhou army will definitely catch the Jizhou army by surprise.

Therefore, from the perspective of prevention and security, Lu An does not recommend easily mobilizing troops and horses from other places, because from the perspective of the pre-war arrangement, once the deployment is in place, and then adjusted, it will inevitably seriously affect morale, not to mention that the troops with the strongest combat effectiveness will be withdrawn, then the remaining newly recruited troops will inevitably be more panicked, and the defense line is more likely to be lost.

The entire city defense of Xindu is integrated, any link is negligent, the consequences are very fatal, rather than frequent mobilization of troops and horses to exhaust the life, it is better to do serious defense according to the original plan, resist the enemy under the city.

Once the Bingzhou army stops archery, the Jizhou army can be put into battle, and all the people have leveled the city, and the Bingzhou army that is about to rush up to fight, at this time, they don't even need to use long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, and directly use spears and broadswords, and they can engage with the Bingzhou army in short combat.

This is also an important reason why the state army stopped archery, the existence of archers and crossbow carts is to provide cover for the siege troops, since the siege troops are close to the city, at this time and then release arrows, more will be mistaken for their own people, so no matter how fierce the battle in front is, at this time, the archers will definitely not be able to help.

At this time, the city wall was almost densely hung with soldiers of the Bingzhou army, they stepped on the ladder, climbed the rope, braved the arrows, and rushed towards the city, although people continued to fall from the ladder, but this could not stop the momentum of the attack of the Bingzhou army, as long as a breath remained, their fighting spirit was undiminished.

The siege of the city by ants is the fiercest and most brutal battle at any time, and casualties are inevitable. The more fierce the battle here, the tighter the defense line of the Jizhou army, if it can mobilize its main force to reinforce it, then when the other three people attack the city, the battle will be easier.

However, with 60,000 people attacking the city guarded by 70,000 people, this seems to be an impossible task, for example, to the siege war, only to fight more with more, I have not heard of fighting more with less, the defense bonus of the city wall is very terrible, Zhang Te with only thousands of people, resisted Zhuge Ke's 200,000 army, fierce battle for 100 days, and the new city has nothing to lose, it can be seen that the city in the defensive war, if there is no city, Zhang Te has the ability, it is impossible to stop Zhuge Ke.

But now the state army is going to challenge this seemingly impossible task, the attack of the infantry battalion will be the first wave, and next, the shooting sound battalion, the left guard battalion, and the first battalion will take turns to launch an attack, pushing the siege war to a climax.

This battle of Xindu is related to the victory or defeat of the entire Jizhou War, so the burden on Yanghu's shoulders is very heavy, and the letter must be won, no matter what kind of price is paid, this battle is not allowed to be defeated, once the reinforcements of Sima Shi arrive, and the state army is not able to conquer Xindu, the whole battle will fall into an extremely unfavorable situation, and now is the time to test Yanghu them, success or failure in this battle.
