    "Won't."

    Zhang He shook his head and said: "The Taiwei loves his soldiers as much as his sons, and will not risk the lives of soldiers easily."

    Zhang He was very envious of Youzhou soldiers, and Liu Zhe's treatment of Youzhou soldiers made them, Jizhou soldiers, envious.

    "We'll see when the time comes. The captain must have a back-up plan." Zhang He said to the others.

    However, time passed day by day, and five days passed in the blink of an eye. The old people in Jizhou gathered together to discuss, and everyone found it very strange that Liu Zhe did not start to attack the city at this time.

    "It's been five days, why hasn't the lieutenant taken any action?"

    "Is it possible that the words about capturing Shindu in ten days were just words?"

    ¡­¡­

    Not only the old people in Jizhou were talking about it, but even the newly joined Jia Xu was surprised.

    Finally, he couldn't help but speak out and asked Liu Zhe why he hadn't started attacking the city yet.

    Liu Zhe was surprised and asked: "Why do Wen He ask like this?"

    Jia Xu was really curious and said: "My lord, you said that Xindu will be captured within ten days. Now there are still five days left before the tenth. Don't you plan to take action, my lord?"

    Liu Zhe said calmly: "There's no rush."

    "My Lord, what can I do?" Jia Xu asked.

    Liu Zhe smiled and said: "There is no other way, but to attack by force?"

    Jia Xu¡¯s head is full of black lines. Since it is a strong attack, why hasn¡¯t it started yet?  Do you really think that Xindu is easy to attack?

    Liu Zhe was immediately happy when he saw the black lines on Jia Xu's face. He patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and said, "Have you seen Feng Xiao in the past few days?"

    Hearing what Liu Zhe said, he noticed that Guo Jia, who had been following Liu Zhe, disappeared for some time.

    "Where did Fengxiao go?" Jia Xu was surprised, and then realized: "But what clever plan was implemented?"

    "Is there any clever plan?" Liu Zhe asked him at this time: "If you were asked to attack Xindu, what measures would you take?"

    Jia Xu blurted out: "We can only attack by force. While the enemy has no reinforcements, attack day and night, and we will be able to capture it one day."

    For Jia Xu, as long as he can get his goal, it is worth killing no matter how many people die.

    "What if the casualties are not allowed to be too large?" Liu Zhe set another condition for Jia Xu.

    After Jia Xu thought about it for a while, he said: "The only way is to use tactics. You can capture the enemy from the inside, lure the enemy to surrender, or have someone steal the city gate."

    "What if there are none?" Liu Zhe said again.

    "this¡­¡­"

    No matter what Jia Xu says, Liu Zhe must set restrictions.

    In the end, Jia Xu could only shake his head and asked Liu Zhe with a wry smile: "Please make it clear, my lord."

    "Phew, I'm exhausted."

    At this time, Guo Jia walked in from the outside, yelling as soon as he came in, and shouted tiredly to Liu Zhe: "Master, I want to apply for leave and need subsidies."

    "Is it done?" Liu Zhe ignored Guo Jia's use of terms he learned from him to show off.

    Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Of course it's done."

    Jia Xu became curious and asked quickly: "Lord, what are you talking about?"

    "Come with me, it's time to let you know." Liu Zhe smiled and motioned for Guo Jia to lead the way.

    Jia Xu saw several huge siege equipment and trebuchets at a corner of the camp.  Seeing such a huge trebuchet for the first time, he couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

    This kind of trebuchet is not the kind of trebuchet that Liu Xin installed on the ship. This kind of trebuchet is specially used to attack cities.

    "With this kind of trebuchet, it would be easy to break through the letter, right?" Jia Xu asked after being surprised.

    "Disaster."

    Liu Zhe shook his head and said: "Although it can project huge stones, the city is strong and not easy to destroy."

    The manufacturing department headed by Ma Jun has already tested it, and the trebuchet is not very effective against the city wall.

    Jia Xu couldn¡¯t help but ask again: ¡°Then why did you say, my lord, that Xindu will be captured within ten days?¡±

    "Wen He, let me ask you," Liu Zhe smiled and asked Jia Xu: "If you were a guard, wouldn't you be afraid when you saw the opportunity to throw stones?"

    "Of course." Jia Xu nodded. The trebuchet was not a new thing, but it would put tremendous pressure on the city's defenders. Not everyone was confident enough that the city wall would not collapse.

    Liu Zhe continued to ask: "If I keep using trebuchets to attack the city, will you worry about the city being destroyed?"

      "Yes." Jia Xu nodded again.

    "If you think the city will be captured soon, would you want to abandon the city and retreat?"

    "meeting."

    Liu Zhe asked again: "At this time, reinforcements happen to appear. What do you think you will do?"

    "Of course, we will lead troops out of the city to join the reinforcements outside the city. It depends on the situation whether to fight or withdraw." After asking this, Jia Xu understood.

    Liu Zhe made several preparations. First, he cooperated with trebuchets to attack the city and put pressure on the defenders in the city. Second, he sent people to pretend to be reinforcements to lure the defenders out of the city.

    "Did Gongda and the others pretend to be reinforcements?" Jia Xu understood and asked.

    Xun You has not been seen in the past few days. Also missing are Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.

    Guo Jia smiled and said: "They have other important matters, and we can also solve them when Yuan Shao comes to reinforce them."

    "Fengxiao is really a man of great strategism and full of clever ideas." Jia Xu expressed his admiration for Guo Jia. He thought it was Guo Jia who came up with these.

    Guo Jia quickly explained: "This is not what I thought of, it was the Lord who thought of it."

    "My lord?" Jia Xu was surprised at first, and then said with great admiration: "My lord is a divine man."

    Liu Zhe smiled and said nothing, which made Jia Xu feel unfathomable.

    Liu Zhe did not move troops for five days just to wait for the trebuchets to be assembled. Now that the trebuchets were completed, Liu Zhe decided to start siege.

    Early the next morning, Liu Zhe beat drums and gathered his generals, announcing the start of the siege.

    So, surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, ten large trebuchets were slowly pushed to the front of Xindu City.

    Yuan Shaojun was frightened. The appearance alone frightened these soldiers. This was the first time they saw such a huge trebuchet.

    When huge rocks weighing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms were thrown into Xindu City, hit the walls of Xindu City, and hit several unlucky people, the fear in the hearts of Yuan Jun's soldiers reached its peak.

    If it weren¡¯t for the supervision team watching, they would have run away long ago.

    The pressure from big rocks falling from the sky is huge, and no one knows when they will hit them
