After hearing this, Sun Tu suddenly raised his eyebrows, and realized that he and his subordinates really ignored this key! Song Jiang continued to explain: "General, the city walls in Hangzhou are strong and towering and extremely difficult to break, but their waterways have great flaws. The moat surrounding the four cities is led from the Qiantang River, and the Qiantang River penetrates the city. Even if the anti-army is closely deployed, it is impossible to cover everything. As long as we can attack under the water, it is not difficult to take down one!"

Obviously, before proposing this strategy to Sun Tu, Song Jiang had already made careful deductions and discussions with his brothers below, so this time it was right to the point, which made Sun Tu's face even more joyful. He couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Gongming has come up with a good strategy this time, which can solve the current difficulties of our army! Yes, it has been proven that it is impossible to attack the city by land, so let's try it through water. All of this depends on the original Liangshan brothers!"

Song Jiang immediately replied with his fist, "My brothers should do their best to break this city for the general!"

Seeing this, Sun Tu smiled satisfied again. In fact, he also realized that this should be a strategy planned by Song Jiang and other Liangshan brothers in order to be proud of themselves in the Shandong army. In the end, they had some selfish thoughts hidden in it.

It is said that since the Liangshan people were pacified in Shandong, except for a few people, the others have not performed well in the Shandong army, which has also led to their status and reputation in the army. This is impossible. After all, their identity as a bandit is in opposition to the veterans of the Shandong army. It is not easy to gain the recognition or even respect of these people.

The Shandong army has always been full of talents, and the strength of the Liangshan heroes was greatly damaged by Sun Tu's previous series of behaviors. Whether they were killed in battle or were already dug by Sun Tu, they were not much left in the end, and most of them were good at fighting.

But the subsequent wars were mostly land battles. Water heroes like the two Zhang Sanruan were almost useless, which made it even more difficult for them to show off their eyes and become the crowd. Fortunately, Song Jiang and Wu Yong were still in front of Sun Tu to make suggestions, otherwise the heroes of Liangshanbo would have no sense of existence except for the previous trouble.

Now that he finally has a great opportunity to make contributions, Song Jiang naturally has to work hard to make efforts. However, Sun Tu did not point out his little thoughts, but instead wanted to push him. He immediately ordered to summon all the generals to discuss the attack on Hangzhou from the water.

The generals were already very worried about Hangzhou's defense. Now, when they learned that they had this opportunity, they naturally fought for the first place and were ready to take the opportunity to make great contributions in their hands. However, Sun Tu had already made a decision. He did not assign the opportunity to the old men of Shandong Army because of his closeness and distantness, but actually handed over this important matter to the leaders of the original Liangshanbo's war.

Of course, other people do not have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. If they want to break the city by water, they also need the cooperation and cover of the land army. It is best to attract the enemy's attention to the land, thus creating good conditions for successfully breaking the city by water.

So next, the man and others formulated a pretty thorough strategy in the account, and it was not until around midnight that the final conclusion was reached. This time, Liang Shanshui and Zhu Xiong became the protagonist for granted.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong..."

“Woo woo woo woo woo--!"

Another morning came amid the turbulent drums and whistle. When the golden light of the sun was shining on the sky, the Song army set up again and launched a fierce attack on Hangzhou City. This time, the Song army had given up attacking the main gate of Hangzhou Wulin Gate and instead launched a fierce attack on the smaller Wangjiang Gate, located in the southeast.

Because the Song army always attacked Wulinmen some time ago, this made the defenders in the Wangjiangmen area much weaker. Once tens of thousands of troops attacked one after another, the defenders were really unable to bear it and quickly asked for help from the city.

When Pang Wanchun, who was in the middle of commanding the defense of the whole city, heard the news, his brows quickly frowned: "Why did they suddenly change the direction of the siege? The narrow terrain outside Wangjiangmen is not conducive to the deployment of the army at all. Putting all tens of thousands of troops into the siege will only waste troops. What did Sun Tu think?"

"Maybe they felt that it was useless to attack my martial arts main gate again, so they chose another gate?" The subordinates around them explained casually.

But Pang Wanchun did not agree: "Sun Tu would never do anything randomly on such a major matter. He would have hidden information. In this way, he quickly dispatched the 10,000 troops prepared in the city to support Wangjiang Gate, and asked the other sects to take care of it. Don't fall into the traitor of Song Jun!" After a pause, he still felt a little worried. After all, he suffered several losses under Sun Tu's men before. He was really afraid that the other party would use any conspiracy methods, so he said again: "I'd better go to Wangjiang Gate to take a look in person, and I can't let him cheat again!"

With the idea set, Pang Wanchun set off without delaying it and headed straight for Wangjiangmen. When he came down from some personal guards under the city wall, fierce fighting was in full swing up and down the city gate, and there was even a bang of crashing and bombarding the city gate.

Of course, at this time, all the gates in Hangzhou were blocked by big stones. Whether it was a car or a wood, it could not destroy the gate at all. It was just a bit horrible in terms of momentum. But from this arrangement, Pang Wanchun could see that the Song army had really spent a lot of time on attacking Wangjiangmen this time.

After climbing to the top of the city and looking down, Pang Wanchun confirmed his judgment even more. He saw tens of thousands of people outside the city walls rushing towards this side. Many ladders were pushed by the soldiers and rushed towards the city, and then countless people climbed directly to the city, with the offensive slamming like a storm, one wave higher than the other.

Even though the arrows on the city were raining like rain, and the oil and water were boiling, it kept pouring down like no money, causing countless Song soldiers who were climbing the city to scream and fall to the ground. The others' pace did not stop, and they still shouted and rushed hard, just like they were determined to defeat this Wangjiangmen today, even if they paid a great price.

However, their all-out killing method was really effective, because the defense force on the city was still lacking, so many people were able to climb to the city. But that was all, because the Wu army had already made corresponding preparations. These Song troops had just arrived at the city and had not even stood firm. Countless arrows had already come to the city and shot them directly on the spot.

Soon afterwards, the tens of thousands of reinforcements who were ordered finally arrived at the city and quickly went to the city to support. With enough manpower, the defense of Wangjiangmen became more stable, making every attack of the Song army like a cliff. Apart from being crushed to pieces, it could not cause any threats and damage to the city.

But even so, the Song army's offensive remained unabated. In the whole day, they invested nearly 40,000 troops to attack a section of the city wall where Wangjiangmen was located, and they charged in a row no less than seven times. This was equivalent to the Song army's efforts to invest more than half of its troops in this siege battle, with a strong momentum of desperate gamble.

It was not until the city that the newly transported crossbow shot the big ball that was commanding the army to attack the city three miles away with a arrow, causing chaos in the rear of the Song army. This tragic siege battle finally calmed down for a while, but the Song army did not stop as before and then retreated as before. It actually set up camps only three miles away from the city, obviously planning to attack Wangjiangmen again tomorrow.

Seeing this, all the defenders on the front of the city were worried. Yu Dahai, the guard of this gate, came to Pang Wanchun and spoke, "Ship Pang, our soldiers are exhausted in the battle today. If the Song army attacked Wangjiangmen again tomorrow, it would be difficult for the soldiers to defend again. Why would you please transfer troops from other places to help the guard?"

As soon as these words were said, many soldiers around looked over with anticipation. It was really hard for everyone to fight today. I was really afraid that the city gate would be lost, and I urgently need the help of the new force.

Pang Wanchun was silent at this time, staring at the Song army camp outside the city that had settled down thoughtfully. Today, the Song army's performance was a bit unresolved. Why did he suddenly attack Hangzhou City again and desperately? Is there any secret hidden in it?

After a while, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, the Japanese general will naturally transfer troops near the city gates to support him. But you should also know that more than ten city gates in Hangzhou are important places, and there is no shortage of people everywhere, so I cannot draw too many troops." This is his current difficulty. Although the city's troops are still above the Song army outside the city, he has to station the gates separately but divided the more than 100,000 troops and horses. In addition, he has to leave a part to guard the palace and support him by mobile phones. In this way, the defense of each city is indeed difficult...

Thinking of this, Pang Wanchun suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart, and a strange thought arose: "The Song army attacked Wangjiangmen so violently so that they could break through this sect, even if they paid a great price. If it was Song's sudden envoy to force them to break the city as soon as possible, it would be reasonable, but judging from the situation in the past few days, it seems that no such person has entered the Song camp. Then why did Sun Tu make such a ridiculous decision? What evil intentions does it hide?

"What special thing about Wangjiangmen is that can make him so desperate? The only difference here is that it is next to Qiantang River... Qiantang River... water..." Suddenly, a light flashed in Pang Wanchun's eyes. He had already grasped some key points. His eyes fell heavily on the water of the moat that was still flowing slowly. He felt that he had grasped Sun Tu's sinister intentions!
