Fortunately, it was too late, and the state army stopped the attack, and the walls of Sindu were saved from the tragic end of the first collapse.

But Lu Zhao was still frowning in the face of the huge crack in the eastern city wall, and now he was lucky to get through it, but what should Ming do? If the bombardment continued, the eastern wall would have collapsed.

The city wall on the west side, although the condition is not so bad, but the situation is also not optimistic, although the cracks on the city head are not as wide as the east side, but the number of cracks is enough to make the power of Zhan cold, the entire city head, everywhere is a few inches wide cracks, criss-crossed, shocking.

Lü Zhao summoned many craftsmen and asked them to repair the city wall overnight.

But these craftsmen came to the head of the city, but they were worried, the city wall produced such cracks, because the wall was formed after the violent impact, many cracks are several zhang deep, not at all ordinary grout filling point glutinous rice adhesive can be repaired successfully, although the ordinary surface repair can eliminate the cracks, but it can only play a role in fooling, as long as the state army catapult continues to attack, then the repaired cracks will be re-cracked, can not play any role.

According to the extent of this crack, many people are pessimistic that the city wall of Xindu may not be able to withstand the Ming Dynasty and will collapse, although there is a second wall to protect the safety of Xindu, but if the outer wall collapses, it will inevitably seriously affect the morale of the defenders of Xindu and the hearts of the people in the city.

Just when everyone was worried, the lord Bo Li Biao said to Lu Zhao: "Envoy, there is a plan for the humble position, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

Lu Zhao was already helpless, but when he heard that the master Bo Li Biao actually had a way, he hurriedly asked.

Li Biao's suggestion was to take some beam rafters, put them on the cracks, and then use iron bars to nail them into the city wall, nail a few more iron bars at both ends of each beam and wood, pull the open cracks, and then pour a binder mixed with lime clay and glutinous rice juice into the cracks, so that they can play a role in repairing the cracks in the city wall.

Lu Zhao's eyes lit up after hearing this, this is indeed a good way, because simply pouring in adhesive cannot stop the expansion of the cracks in the city wall, and using beams to pull may be able to prevent the further widening of the cracks.

Many people sound a little mysterious, after all, the city wall is a thing that weighs tens of thousands of catties, and it can be pulled by just a few beams?

But now there seems to be no good way, can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Liang Mu is not lacking, Lu Zhao gave an order, demolished a few houses nearby, lifted the beam rafters to the city, and found some iron bars a few feet long, burned red, beat one end into a sharp shape, took a big iron hammer, like a nail, nailed the big iron bars into the wood and the city wall, and firmly fixed them together.

The Jizhou army was busy all night, using dozens of beams and hundreds of iron bars to finally fix these cracks. Others were busy boiling glutinous rice juice to prepare the binder, which was then poured into the cracks

This kind of adhesive prepared with glutinous rice juice lime and clay is very sticky, and it has been used to build city walls and houses since ancient times, but using it to fill cracks, I am afraid it is still the first time to break the wilderness, Lu Zhao has no bottom in his heart, and he can only secretly pray, hoping that the city wall can hold on a little more, and it will not collapse so quickly.

Now the catapult offensive of the Bingzhou army is too fierce, and the city wall, which is known as impregnable, has become vulnerable under its fierce offensive, and the Jizhou army has no countermeasures, so it can only be passively beaten, and there is no way except to watch the city wall collapse.

The partial general Qiu Lin said to Lu Zhao: "General, it is not a way to fight like this, the city wall will be broken sooner or later, and the last general is willing to lead a death squad to destroy some catapults while the state army is deployed, maybe this can ease the enemy's offensive." ”

Lu Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the state army is extremely well guarded, and it will be worth the loss to take such a risky attack." ”

Qiu Lin said: "The last general is deeply cultivated by the general, and today he is willing to repay him with death, if he can destroy some catapults, the last general will die without regrets." ”

Lu Zhao didn't agree with him taking the risk, but Qiu Lin repeatedly insisted on giving it a try, and if they even had the courage to try, then they could only sit back and wait.

After all, the catapult is quite a bulky gadget, and it takes a long time to install and debug, after yesterday's use, many catapults have also been damaged, and no one can guarantee that they are foolproof, and the state army has also undergone a night of intense repairs, so that some of the damaged catapults have been reactivated, but those seriously damaged catapults are completely scrapped, and there is no repair value.

Under normal circumstances, scrapped catapults account for about 10% of the total, but under this high-intensity frequency of use, the damage of catapults will become more and more serious, that is, the catapult offensive of the Bingzhou army will gradually weaken, if you can't break through Xindu in the first few days, then the next siege can't completely rely on catapults.

Therefore, after the end of the first siege, the state army did not relax at all, and when the second color was just dawning, it had already launched the catapult and entered the predetermined position, making the final preparations before the attack.

According to Yanghu's requirements, the catapult attack must be launched on time at sunrise, so during the period before sunrise, all personnel were nervously busy.

At this time, the east gate of Xindu suddenly opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and Qiu Lin led a cavalry to rush to the position of the catapults of the Bingzhou army like a whirlwind.

If you want to destroy the catapult, it is obviously not possible to rely on manpower alone, every pillar of the catapult must be thicker than the waist of a strong man, if you use a knife and axe to chop, even if it takes a lot of effort, I am afraid it will not be able to destroy a few cars.

What's more, the Bingzhou army is not a puppet, and will let the Jizhou army wantonly destroy, and there must be a large number of defensive soldiers and horses around the catapult array.

If Qiu Lin wants to destroy the catapult, he must prepare the weapon at hand, which Qiu Lin has already thought about, the fierce oil fire canister, the most lethal weapon, is the best weapon to destroy the catapult.

No matter how strong the catapult was, it was made of wood, and Qiu Lin did not believe that it could withstand the fire attack.
