The stirring sound of the battle in front of the Yongjin Gate, the billowing smoke and sky-high flames produced by the ignition of the ship, had already transmitted the tense battle situation here to the two armies inside and outside Hangzhou, and Pang Wanchun, who was still guarding the Wangjiang Gate, even received relevant military reports, learning that at least his own family was still firmly in control of the situation, and the Song army suffered many casualties after landing on the road.

This made the corners of his mouth curl unconsciously, looked at the sun that was gradually sinking in the west, and muttered softly: "Sun Tu, you can't do it this time, right?" Do you really think that my Pang Wanchun is so easy to be at the mercy of you, and this little trick wants to break me Hangzhou? ”

But even so, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and still kept shouting to let the soldiers cheer up and deal with another wave of attacks by the Song army, after all, compared to the Yongjinmen side, the situation here looks more dangerous.

In fact, it is also the same, whether it is the idea of making up its mind to attack the east and the west, anyway, today's Song army's offensive against Wangjiangmen is much more fierce than any before, and the soldiers really forgot to die, one after another, completely ignoring the dense rain of arrows at the head of the city, just rushing forward in waves, looking at this posture seems to really want to finish the battle.

But after experiencing the baptism of offensive and defensive battles in these days, the soldiers of the Wu army have also made great progress, their actions in defending the city are more skilled and reasonable, and the cooperation between them is more exquisite, plus they learned that there is good news from the Yongjinmen, saying that they not only killed a powerful Song general, but also completely trapped the enemy ships, so that the city gate is no longer worry-free, which further aroused the morale of the army, and fought harder.

However, what the soldiers below didn't know was that there was still something in this good news that was deliberately hidden by Pang Wanchun, and he would not reveal the news that Yuan Kai, the general of the Yongjinmen garrison, rashly went out to fight but died on the spot at this time, at this time, the morale can not be discharged, as long as the battle is dark, the victory is his own!

"Sun Tu, you almost know this bad news, but I don't know what choice you will make, when to choose to retreat......" Seeing that another round of the Song army's offensive was blocked and retreated, leaving behind two or three hundred corpses, Pang Wanchun exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then subconsciously looked at the Song army's central military office outside the city, guessing how this strong enemy should react.

As he speculated, at this time, some soldiers had already rushed into the Chinese army in a panic and reported the news of the fiasco in front of Yongjin Gate. When he mentioned that there were more than 1,000 casualties in this water battle, and even Zhang Shun was calculated by the enemy and died tragically on the Qiantang River, the faces of all the generals present suddenly changed, and Song Jiang was even more pale, and his body shook again and again.

Although everyone in Liangshan is called brothers, and it seems that they are all a family, in fact, there are many relatives and distant people. For Song Jiang, Zhang Shun is definitely one of the most trustworthy and close relatives who are better than flesh and blood, and Li Kui, Dai Zong and Hua Rong can compare with him. Moreover, Zhang Shun has saved Song Jiang many times in the past few years, and he has been born and died many times, which is a life-and-death friendship between life and death. But now, Zhang Shun died suddenly......

"I hurt him, I shouldn't have come up with such an idea, and it was all my fault that I let him take the risk of attacking Jinmen......" Under the mourning, tears rolled down Song Jiang's eyes, which made many generals who were originally the Liangshan brothers feel miserable, and the atmosphere in the army was even more gloomy.

Sun Tu stabilized his mind at this time, and immediately shouted: "Song Jiang, you don't have to blame yourself, this matter is really to blame, and it is also in this official." But now that the incident has happened, we can no longer complain about the heavens and people, what we have to do now is only to break the city and kill the enemy, and I will take revenge on them! As he spoke, he raised his voice again and ordered, "Pass my order, attack the city gate again, and don't give the thieves any respite!" ”

"General think twice......" Zhu Wu was a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Today, we stormed Wangjiangmen and suffered setbacks one after another, and the morale of the soldiers below has been low, if it is dark today, if we reluctantly attack the city, it will only increase casualties, so it is better to leave it for tomorrow to talk about it......

"No, we must attack again now, buy a little more time for those brothers who broke the city!" Sun Tu looked firm this time, and shouted loudly without wavering.

And his words were immediately responded to by many generals, and Luda and Wu Song took a step forward and said loudly: "General, we haven't rushed again since we arrived in Hangzhou, so leave it to us this time." ”

Looking at the eager look of the two, Sun Tu shook his head: "Now is not the time for you to make a move, but you can prepare." Then his eyes fell on Huang Xin, Yang Lin, Bao Xu and other Liangshan brothers: "If you have the heart to avenge the brothers who died, you will lead the troops to attack again." ”

"I dare not die!" These people had already held back their strength, and immediately responded loudly and hurried away.

Then, with the sound of drums rising again, another group of Song troops rushed straight through Xiangwangjiangmen, and once again started an offensive and defensive battle with the defenders of the city.

But in this regard, Pang Wanchun was extremely indifferent: "It seems that Sun Tu already knew that his plan had failed, and he was a little annoyed and angry. This is better, as long as the city gate can be firmly held today, with their attrition, they will inevitably relax their vigilance at night, and then it will be time for our Wu army to counterattack! ”

Under the steady command of him and his generals as always, although the Song army's offensive was more ferocious than before, it still could not really pose a threat to the city gates. Even if a few Liangshan brothers were really killed in the city, it was difficult to take a piece of land, but they buried the lives of many brothers, which really outweighed the losses......

Today's Hangzhou city Wangjiangmen is a flesh and blood grinding plate, it is relying on a battle to continue to devour the lives of the Song army's soldiers, today alone, the Song army has paid no less than two thousand casualties, and this is still not counting the casualties in front of the Yongjin Gate, otherwise this number will only be more appalling.

If a third-party person saw this scene and learned of this terrible number, he would definitely think that Sun Tu was crazy, because judging from the current battle situation, the result was already obvious, no matter how many troops he invested, it was impossible for this fortified city in the south of the Yangtze River to be taken down today.

Pang Wanchun can understand, but he is a little more sure, he has won this battle! And this battle of Hangzhou may completely reverse the trend of the Jiangnan Pacification Campaign, perhaps until tomorrow, it is the beginning of the Wu army to turn defense into attack, kill the Song army, and recapture the northern cities. Just when he began to look to the future, thinking about how to take back those cities one by one, and even further take Jinling, so that the Wu army could occupy the entire area south of the Yangtze River, someone next to him suddenly let out an exclamation: "That...... What is that? It's on fire...... There was a fire on the other side of the Qingbo Gate......"

"What!" Pang Wanchun's surprise was not trivial, he hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of Qingbo Gate, and at the same time, there were other soldiers on the city wall who made this move, all of them opened their mouths wide, their faces and eyes were full of horror and uneasiness, and deep questions, why did Qingbo Gate, which should have been far away from the war, actually catch fire?

And just a moment later, Pang Wanchun's originally smug face immediately quickly distorted because of panic, and then shouted loudly: "Quick, quickly send someone to help Qingbo Gate, there must be no mistake there...... Ning Heng, you take the people of the department and go over! ”

When Ning Heng, who was named by name, hurriedly agreed and hurriedly went down to the city, the look of chagrin on Pang Wanchun's face became heavier, and he muttered even more in his mouth: "I was wrong, I still fell for Sun Tu's plan, it turns out that his real goal has always been not Yongjinmen, and the war there is just a cover he has played, what he wants to take is actually only Qingbo Gate!" ”

In fact, it was not only him, even Jiang Shihu, who was considered to be a last resort, also miscalculated this time, and he was also deceived by the appearance in front of him, thinking that although the Song army would attack the Water Gate, it would inevitably choose Yongjinmen, which was easier to attack with a large boat, but instead threw aside the Qingbo Gate, which could only be passed by a small number of small boats.

It was precisely because they thought they had seen through Sun Tu's intentions, so this time they all transferred a large number of naval soldiers and horses from the four water gates such as Qingbo Gate to Yongjinmen, otherwise it would not have been possible to achieve such a big victory. But in this way, the biggest problem has been exposed, now the defenders on the side of Qingbo Gate are only hundreds, once attacked, one is not good, it will be the end of the whole gate being taken.

At this time, the battle report from the front had not yet been delivered, and Pang Wanchun only felt that he had become an ant on a hot pot, and after walking back and forth for a while with great anxiety, he wanted to send more people to support. But before he gave this order, a whining horn sounded again from the Song army's formation, and then the Song army, which was 2,000 people, had already pounced on him like a fierce tiger.

Although the strength of the Song army attacking this time was much smaller than before, the momentum they showed was stronger than the sum of the Song army attacking the city all day today.

And that's why it gives people this intimidating feeling, just because this team that launched the siege after dark is the most elite team in the elite Qingzhou Army of the Shandong Army, trapped in the camp! Wu Song had two knives in his hands, and the two of them were like lions leading the lions to hunt for food, and they crossed the moat that had been filled in and narrowed too early with great agility and speed, and pounced on the city wall.

By this time, Sun Tu was already exhausted and played the last hole card in his hand. Behind them, there were still a large number of Song troops poised to attack, and another army was also led by Dong Ping, rushing towards Qingbo Gate......

Strike the west and attack the west, all the plans have been successful, it is time to blossom and bear fruit, and pick the fruits of victory!
