The next two days, the Song army still gathered forces to launch a continuous attack on Wangjiangmen, Hangzhou, without any intention of dividing troops to attack other city gates. This naturally made the situation in Wangjiangmen more and more critical. In order to ensure the safety of the situation, Pang Wanchun could only continuously draw troops from other places to support, so that the offense and defense sides could maintain a balance.

However, while making this decision, Pang Wanchun became more and more confident in his guess about himself. It was too strange that the Song army attacked the sect without regard for gains and losses. With his understanding of Sun Tu, this inevitably meant an intrigue.

Pang Wanchun was not the only one who held this view. Fang Fei and Jiang Shihu had the same idea after taking the risk to the city to see the fierce offensive of the Song army. The latter said bluntly: "This is to cover up the truth. Sun Tuyue spent so much effort to attack Wangjiangmen, which proves that the city gate he really wanted to capture was not here!"

"But where will he attack the city gate? If what I think is right, he attacked my Hanmen to cover up his ultimate goal of marching from the waterway. But I have five water gates in Hangzhou, so where should I focus on guard against?" Pang Wanchun frowned and asked for advice.

He knew very well that once Sun Tu found out, his threat to a certain water gate would be extremely great. If he could not make plans early, it would be a bit dangerous. However, there were 13 city gates in Hangzhou, eight droughts and five waters, so he could not all be heavily deployed. One or two water gates must be selected, and he must be held at the target of the Song army. This is the key to the two armies' confrontation, and the outstanding generals and military advisors decide the direction of the war, because as long as they guess the enemy's thoughts, they have already won seven points in this battle!

After saying this, Pang Wanchun and Fang Fei both turned their attention to Jiang Shihu. As the military advisor of the Wu army, he always could predict the enemy's initiative in the past, made great contributions to Fang La's rise, and thus had a perfect reputation. Now no one can make up his mind, so it is naturally the time for him to show his skills.

Jiang Shihu pondered for a long time before saying, "If Sun Tuzhen sends an army to attack my Shuimen, how many troops do we have to draw to defend to ensure a great victory?"

"You must be three times the enemy to win with some preparation. The Song army's combat power is far above our soldiers..." At this time, Pang Wanchun had nothing to hide, so he told the truth: "Now, all the city gates have to keep the troops, and Wangjiang Gate needs a large number of people. In this way, there are not many people available. If you divide the two troops, you can only defend it. If you can rob one and do your best, you will definitely win a big victory. Maybe you will turn the situation around!"

"The five water gates in Hangzhou are all secretly connected to the Qiantang River outside. Can you have corresponding precautions before? For example, setting up various wooden stakes and nets to block the enemy in the water can at least block the enemy's ships?"

"Yes, each gate has its own arrangements, especially Qingbo Water Gate, which is located on the side of the palace and has many blockings, so it is impossible for ordinary ships to pass through."

After hearing this, Jiang Shihu's face showed a strange look, but it flashed: "So what about Qiantang, the closest to this, the two water gates of Yongjin?"

"The water level in those two places is not as fast as imagined, and it is difficult to pass through the big ship, so the defense is not too strict. The military advisor means...will they start from these two gates?" Pang Wanchun immediately understood and asked anxiously. "There is a way to solve the problem of shallow water. Have you not noticed it? Recently, the rivers in my city have been cut off a lot than before. This is obviously related to the cut off the upper reaches outside the city. Before, I thought that this was the Song army planning to cut off the water and release floods, and I laughed at them for not understanding the geography of water conservancy and dying, and I wanted to use water to attack in winter. But now it seems that the Song army has another intention. It cut off the water level in the upstream to make the water level of these two gates suddenly rise, so that the ships can rush through smoothly!"

Fang Fei said astonished: "They had such a detailed plan that they were preparing for this as early as seven or eight days ago? But just from this point, we can infer that the Song army would attack these two water gates was a bit too hasty?"

"Not only that, the more important thing is that these two city gates are closest to my Wangjiangmen." Jiang Shihu said with a serious expression: "Once their navy really succeeds in capturing the city gate, they can send land troops nearby, so that they can quickly occupy and guard the important road into the city, and my Hangzhou will be broken!"

Pang Wanchun slammed the table with a slam and asserted: "What the military advisor said is very much, the Song army's target must be these two water gates! I had been surprised before, and there were other gates that were easier to expand troops to attack the city without fighting. Why did the Song army choose to attack my Wangjiang Gate? Now I have completely understood that they are referring to one of the water gates."

"Which is the real target of the Song army?" Fang Fei also agreed to this inference and asked again hurriedly. Obviously, the correct answer is very close to them. As long as the Song army's target is selected, they can win in one battle.

"Yongjinmen!" Jiang Shihu asserted: "The Qiantangmen area is always full of silt, which is not conducive to the entry and exit of large ships. As long as Sun Tu knows me about Hangzhou, he will not choose to start from this gate. Of course, in order to ensure the safety of the situation, we also need to defend Qiantangmen more, but more must be placed in front of Yongjinmen. Also, if someone prepares more fishing nets and hooks, as long as the Song army dares to attack me, they will pay a huge price!"

"I'll make arrangements now!" Pang Wanchun immediately stood up excitedly, and didn't bother with him, so he hurried to convey the relevant orders.

It was not until he saw him leave that Fang Fei looked at Jiang Shihu again, and his face became much more relaxed than before: "If this battle could be won, I will definitely keep Hangzhou. It seems that the worst plan you made before is not enough. I don't know if Your Majesty will blame us for making a fuss and send him back to Wuzhou overnight."

"I hope so. Your Majesty is wise. As long as we win, he will only be overjoyed and will never blame us for this." Jiang Shihu smiled and said. Fang Fei also nodded with a smile. He had already relaxed but did not notice that there seemed to be something ulterior motive hidden deep in Jiang Shihu's eyes...

At the same time, the Song army camp.

Seeing the army's attack was blocked by the defenders, he could only retreat in disappointment. Sun Tu's eyes did not see too much worry, and even sighed: "To be honest, Pang Wanchun is really the most powerful opponent I have ever encountered since I led the army. His troops were not too strong, far inferior to my Shandong soldiers. However, in terms of the arrangement of troops and the means of adapting to local conditions, he was smart enough to make this group of anti-army troops defend the city gate for so long without any disadvantage."

"Yes, this person is indeed a rare general. But he must never dream of how we will break the city next!" Song Jiang replied confidently.

"How is it? Everything is arranged?" Sun Tu knew that this strategy was about to be decided.

"The brothers were unfamiliar with this before, so they made more preparations. Now everything is ready. Just wait for the general's order, our navy soldiers can be dispatched! This time there are also the general's specially made water tools, so it's easier to enter Hangzhou!" Song Jiang replied confidently.

"Have you made a decision? Who will attack Yongkin Gate?" Sun Tu asked curiously.

Song Jiang's expression changed slightly, and then he slowly revealed the arrangement...

At the same time, behind the barracks, right next to the Qiantang River, the Zhang brothers were sitting opposite each other, with wine and food in front of them. Although the army was banned from drinking during the war, it was an exception for soldiers who were about to go to war.

Zhang Heng took a sip of the wine bowl, then looked at his brother: "You really decided? You will take the Tong brothers to fight Yong Kinmen?"

"It is because only in this way can the three Ruan brothers stop questioning Brother Gongming's arrangements. Brother, you can also make great contributions to our brothers." Zhang Shun smiled calmly, as if what he said was a small matter of a few cents of money, rather than a great contribution to breaking the door and seizing the city.

"You, you still take the overall situation into consideration. I am not as good as you, a brother." Zhang Heng smiled bitterly, and then let the wine in the bowl be filled with sip: "It's a pity that if you exchange your skills with me, you will definitely make great contributions."

"Everyone is brother, but in fact everyone is the same for making meritorious contributions. Brother Gongming also has his difficulties. He must give the bowl of water between our Liangshan brothers. Since I am his brother, I will naturally consider it more for him." Zhang Shun smiled and said, "Brother, don't really think that you will be able to achieve success. Although I am not the main attacker, I have less dangers, so I hope you can be more careful then."

"Haha, when I got into the water, I was really afraid of anyone. Even if I am not very familiar with the waterways in Hangzhou, as long as I get into the water, it will be my world." Zhang Heng laughed wildly. He was always so optimistic, as if the sky fell, he could still be covered with a quilt.

Zhang Shun was also infected by it and laughed. After a moment, he said seriously: "Brother, I thought of one thing. In fact, you and I are not officials. Why not, after quelling the Jiangnan Rebellion, let us go back to Jiangzhou to fish, right?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Heng looked at his brother in surprise, but he really didn't expect that he would have the idea of ​​retreating.

Zhang Shun smiled and said, "I prefer the days when I was in the parody and in Jiangzhou. And I believe that as long as the Fang La Rebellion is quelled, Brother Gongming will be awarded the title of a high-ranking official. We will no longer have to help him share his worries."

"Okay, actually I don't want to do this anymore. Then let's make up. After the chaos is over, we will go back to Jiangzhou! As for what is the result of the credit or not, just give some money."
