After receiving Lu Zhao's reply, Lin Li simply wanted to cry without tears, is this a partial division of the Bingzhou army that attacked Guangchang? is still suspicious of the soldiers' plans, who has ever seen such a fierce suspicious soldier, if the state army is just a feint, why fight so hard?

The siege battle has lasted for three days, but the offensive of the state army is wave after wave, and there is no sign of weakening, on the other hand, the defenders of Guangchang have been seriously reduced, and it has become more and more difficult to hold on to Guangchang without replenishment.

Originally, Lin Li was counting on Lu Zhao to send reinforcements, so that the crisis situation in Guangchang would be lifted, and it was precisely because of such hope that Lin Li gritted his teeth and persisted, even if the offensive of the Bingzhou army was fierce, he never took half a step back, because hope was there, and confidence was there.

But what Lin Li finally waited for was not Lu Zhao's reinforcements, but a piece of paper, should Lin Li take this piece of paper to deal with the state army?

In addition to being disappointed, Lin Li's mentality also completely collapsed, without reinforcements, the loss of Guangchang is only a matter of time, with the current situation, Guangchang will not be able to hold on for long at all.

What was even more disastrous was that in the early morning of the fourth day, during the attack on the morning of the fourth day, the army of the state suddenly threw in an unknown number of catapults, and when the locust-like stone projectiles fell on the head of the city of Guangchang, all the defenders were terrified.

Soldiers can block it, water can cover it, and bows and arrows can be blocked with shields, but what do they use to resist these stone bullets?

Every stone projectile roared down from the sky, with a devastating power, and smashed heavily on the city, and all the targets hit by the stone projectiles, whether it were people or things, could hardly remain the same. A soldier's head made a close contact with a stone bullet, and then the head was gone, and the ground was splashed with red and white things, and it was a mess.

Even the city tower of Guangchang was hit from the top by a stone bullet, and the tower collapsed in an instant and was razed to the ground.

The Jizhou army can only run around with its head in its head, under this stone rain, any resistance is in vain, and only by fleeing from the city far away is the way to survive.

Once the defensive line of the city collapsed, the military spirit also collapsed, even when the catapult attacked, the state army could not launch an offensive, but when the catapult stopped attacking and the state army rushed up again, although the Jizhou army could also return to the city to continue fighting, but the lost military spirit and morale could never return.

It can be said that the will of the Guangchang defenders had already collapsed when the catapult attacked, and this was still Lin Li's concealment of the news that the reinforcements could not arrive, otherwise the confidence of the Guangchang defenders would collapse faster.

Lin Li's face was like ashes at the moment, if the Bingzhou army hadn't used the catapult, maybe he would have been able to hold on for a few more days, but the appearance of the catapult was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushing Lin Li's last confidence.

It's over, it's all over, Guangchang City really can't hold it.

"Brother-in-law, let's break through, don't leave, and when the city falls, it will be a dead end." Ma Yuan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly suggested to Lin Li.

He saw with his own eyes the terrible power of the catapult of the Bingzhou army, to say that the Sima army is also equipped with a catapult, but the power and the catapult of the Bingzhou army are not the same level at all, when the stone bullet with a large grinding plate flew in the air, everyone's hearts were full of despair, and they didn't know what kind of monster the catapult of the Bingzhou army was, which could throw such a big stone into the sky.

It's horrible! It's horrible!

Lin Li sighed heavily, Guangchang City must not be able to hold it, he really doesn't understand, what is Lu Zhao's basis, only to judge that the Bingzhou army attacking Guangchang is a feint, and now the Bingzhou army has even sacrificed a siege weapon like a catapult, how can it be a feint?

If he continued to defend the city, he could only be buried with Guangchang, Lin Li gritted his teeth, and couldn't sit still, so he listened to Ma Yuan's words and decided to abandon Guangchang and break through to the east.

The main attack of the state army is the west gate, and there is also a slight offensive on the south gate and the north gate, but there is no movement on the east gate, which is a typical way of playing around three queyi.

Siege three is the most common method used in siege warfare, surrounded on three sides and deliberately exposed a gap on one side, Sun Tzu has mentioned in the art of war that the siege division must be que, whether it is siege or the outside of the field to suppress the enemy, this is a commonly used principle of the art of war.

It stands to reason that a victory is low-hanging fruit, so why should it be open? This has a great relationship with the psychology of war, whether it is a field battle or a city offensive and defensive battle, the besieged enemy has three choices, the first is to surrender, the second is to fight to the death, and the third is to wait and see, obey the commander's orders. Normally, most people will choose the third option, after all, no one wants to die or surrender easily.

At this time, if the encirclement is too tight, the commander will often break the kettle and fight to the death, and if the attacking side deliberately leaves a gap at this time, it may make the enemy commander vacillate and hesitate between fighting to the death and fleeing, and at the same time leave a way to live, and it can also make the enemy's soldiers lose morale and have no intention of fighting.

If Guangchang can hold it, of course Lin Li will not consider breaking through, but the current situation, the offensive of the state army is so fierce, and the heavy weapons such as catapults and bed crossbows have been added, and the loss of Guangchang City is already a sure thing.

In desperation, Lin Li ordered the whole army to take advantage of the catapult attack and the infantry of the state army had not yet rushed up, and hurriedly moved to the east gate, preparing to abandon the city and flee.

When the Jizhou army fled, it was very hasty, and many of the baggage materials were too late to carry, Ma Yuan wanted to burn Guangchang City with a fire, but Lin Li stopped him, not to say that Lin Li had any feelings for Guangchang City, but to say that once the fire in the city started, it was possible for the Bingzhou army to see through their breakthrough attempt, if the Bingzhou army sent troops to intercept it at this time, they might not even have a chance to escape out of the city.

What's more, it takes time for you to burn the city, and if you don't light fires in many places in the city, you won't be able to burn the entire city at all.

Lin Li knew that it was important to escape, and it was not important that the materials in Guangchang City fell into the hands of the Bingzhou army, and the top priority now was to take advantage of the defenselessness of the Bingzhou army to quickly flee out of the city, so that they might have a chance to escape.

After arriving at the east gate, Lin Li sent people to climb the city tower to watch, and sure enough, there was no trace of the state army outside the east gate, so he quickly ordered the city gate to be opened, and rushed out first.
