Xindu currently concentrates all the troops, population, and materials in the northern part of Jizhou, and the stored grain alone is enough for hundreds of thousands of people to eat for a year or two.

Since the besieged of Xindu, Lu Zhao has long held the belief that he will die, Qiu Lin is still martyred to the death, how can Lu Zhao survive and steal his life, he is deeply favored by the Sima family, it is really to the point of last resort, Lu Zhao will definitely not defect to the enemy.

Although Lu Zhao confidently said that he would definitely hold Xindu and hold on until the reinforcements arrived, he also knew in his heart that there was still a certain probability that Xindu City would be lost, so he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case, Lu Zhao secretly prepared a plan in case the city was lost.

Of course, Lu Zhao didn't tell anyone about this matter, including a cadre of officials and generals under him, after all, if they knew, it would be very demoralizing, and before the battle was over, the aftermath was arranged, and the confidence was obviously insufficient!

Moreover, this person's heart is separated from the belly, Lu Zhao has the belief of fighting to the death, and no one else may have it, if it really comes to the time when the city is broken, some people will surrender to the Bingzhou army in order to survive, and invite flattery and favor, and do not rule out the possibility of sabotaging their plans.

Therefore, Lu Zhao only arranged for his son Lu Xun to be responsible for this matter, secretly deploying his own family soldiers in the grain depot, the government treasury, the Hyogo, the state pastoral mansion and other important places in the city, and placing sulfur saltpeter fire oil and other fire-causing things, if it really came to the point that the letter could not be held, Lu Zhao would give Lu Xun a direct order to destroy the entire Xindu City.

When Lu Xun heard the news, he was shocked, this plan is too crazy, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Xindu City, Lu Zhao set fire to the city, wouldn't it kill these hundreds of thousands of people?

Lu Zhao said resolutely: "Our Lu family is deeply favored by the Sima family, if it really comes to the time when the city is broken, we will die to repay it, the capital city is very important, and it must not be left to Cao Liang!" ”

However, Lu Zhao also told Lu Xun that such preparation does not mean that it will be used, this is just a means of prevention, so Lu Zhao asked Lu Xun not to disclose these information to others, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.

Although Lu Xun only agreed, but his heart was mixed, Lu Zhao's attitude undoubtedly proved that if the city was really broken, Lu Zhao would never surrender, and even had to bring a family to his funeral.

But Lu Xun doesn't want to die, he is still in his prime and has a bright future, how could he hang himself on a tree with a crooked neck? Lu Zhao is grateful to the Sima family, but Lu Xun is not, he is from his father's shadow in Jizhou, he spends money like earth, he is chic, and his life is extremely comfortable.

Lu Zhao has Lu Zhao's plan, Lu Xun has Lu Xun's plan, on the surface, Lu Xun is obedient to Lu Zhao, but secretly he has a different plan.

After Lu Zhao made the arrangements, he stayed on the head of the city day and night, even if there were often flying stones above his head, all the soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all persuaded Lu Zhao to go down to the city to hide.

But Lu Zhao was calm and composed, not afraid of danger at all, standing on the top of the city, he could better observe the movements of the Bingzhou army and make the right decision in time.

What made Lu Zhao quite relieved was that after the timely repair last night, those city walls that were on the verge of collapse were miraculously stabilized, and the crisis could be alleviated for the time being.

This also makes Lu Zhao is mood very good, now he stays in Xindu, completely relying on his fingers to live, if he can hold on one more, the hope will be a little bigger, as long as he can hold on until Sima Shi's reinforcements arrive, it will be the final victory.

The sheep under the city are frowning at the moment, the loss of more than a dozen catapults will not have any impact on the attack of the state army, according to the strength of the state army's attack yesterday, the city wall of Xindu has shown signs of collapse, it stands to reason that as long as the state army is working harder, there is no problem to take it down.

However, the stone projectiles of the catapult landed on the predetermined city wall with unerring accuracy, but did not have the result that Yanghu hoped to see, and the city wall that was about to collapse yesterday was actually able to stand tall with the help of God.

Now when the enemy and us are fighting, even if there are hidden agents in the city, the state army can't pass on the news, so Yanghu can't figure out what is happening in the city, and it can bring the dangerous city wall back to life, it seems that there is a big problem in this.

Yanghu deduced that it should be the defenders in the city who found a way to repair the city wall, so that the city wall that was about to collapse was restored to strength, which was obviously contrary to Yanghu's original intention.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Hu decisively ordered the catapult to stop the attack, if the Jizhou army can really repair the broken city wall as before, then the attack of the Bingzhou army will not have an effect, after all, such a strong city wall is impossible to destroy within a day, rather than wasting stone bullets and consuming stone bullets like this, it is better to suspend the attack first and come up with a foolproof strategy.

The withdrawal of the Bingzhou army made Lu Zhao is pressure greatly reduced, he couldn't help laughing, it seems that the Bingzhou army is exhausted, Lu Zhao ordered the Jizhou army to continue to repair the city wall according to yesterday's method, there is such a wonderful method, Lu Zhao believes that there is no problem at all to boil him for more than half a month

The generals of the state army are very puzzled, it is still early according to reason, and the stone bullets are also sufficient, why didn't Yanghu fight?

Yanghu didn't explain much, but after returning to the camp, he discussed it with Ma Long, and Ma Long said: "This is easy to do, if you let the catapults attack in turns day and night, and don't give the Jizhou army a chance to repair the city wall, I believe that the city wall will be broken in less than three." ”

Yang Hu nodded and said: "This is a solution, but if you attack continuously day and night, not only will the catapult driver be tired, but the consumption of stone bullets may not be able to bear it, if you reduce the amount of bombs, the damage to the city wall is not large, and this matter is probably difficult to achieve both." ”

Ma Long smiled and said: "Then why don't General Yang discuss with General Du and General Du, the army is united, General Du is responsible for the white attack, and General Yang only needs to attack at night, division of labor and cooperation, isn't it right?" ”

When Yang Hu heard this, he nodded again and again, Ma Long's method is good, at present, the state army is attacking Xindu from the east and west, in fact, this method is not necessary, and the state army can completely concentrate its forces and seek a breakthrough from one side.
