As the capital of Liangzhe Road, Hangzhou City is the largest city in Jiangnan. It not only has high walls and large doors, but also has an extremely dangerous geographical location, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Grand Canal starts from the north, the Qiantang River in the south, and the Hangzhou Bay in the east. The crisscrossing waters makes almost the only west gate of the entire Hangzhou city that allows large siege equipment such as well railings and rushing vehicles to play a role.

The first day of the rebel army's attack was carried out around the West City Wall. Fang La, Shi Bao, Si Xingfang and other martial arts were outstanding. The brave and resourceful generals gathered under the West City Wall and led their troops to launch a fierce attack on the West City Wall.

Of course, the rebels also attacked the north and south city walls at the same time, but the intensity and frequency of the attack were far inferior to the west. Because the east was a harbor, the rebels just surrounded and did not attack.

Chen Jian and Gu An were not ordinary people who were guarding the city. They expected the actions of the rebels in advance and placed the main force of the official army on the west wall.

The lack of weapons and armor has always been the biggest problem for the rebels. Under the fierce shooting of the official army's arrows, every wave of attacking soldiers will suffer huge casualties before they even get close to the city wall, and they will even be shot to defeat the army.

But the advantage of the rebel army is that it is large in number, and Fang La also knew that it was impossible to break through Hangzhou City in one fell swoop, so most of the people who attacked the city on the first day were the "new army" that later joined, and the real elites never appeared from beginning to end.

During the first day of the siege, although the rebels climbed the city wall many times, they were all killed by the official army because of insufficient momentum. At first, the official army was quite afraid of the powerful rebels, but after this day of fighting, the official army's fear of the rebels gradually became contempt. Chen Jian, who was originally tense, also relaxed.

If you don’t look at the weapons and arrows scattered under the city, and only look at the corpses of the rebels, the entire battlefield will be like a massacre of the people by the government army. The losses of the government army can almost be ignored.

The next day, before Si, the rebel army launched a fierce attack from the west again, and only a small part of the troops were invested on the north and south sides as yesterday.

It seemed as if it had happened yesterday, the rebel army still rushed to the city wall again and again with its fearless spirit, and then was calmly killed and retreated by the official army.

The battle lasted until noon. Chen Jian scanned the entire battlefield on the city wall and said to Gu An next to him: "I think the thief army has reached this level. In two days, there will be at least 5,000 casualties. I believe that in the future, they will collapse their morale and retreat on their own."

Gu An frowned and said, "I always feel something is wrong. According to previous information, Fang La's subordinates should have an elite personal army, why didn't he show up for a long time?"

"Don't worry too much," Chen Jian pointed to a man riding a tall horse far below the city: "Isn't that Fang La? He is all here, where can his few personal soldiers be?"

Gu An followed his fingers and saw Fang La looking at them. He felt a little nervous inexplicably: "I still feel something is wrong. No, I have to go to another city wall to see."

Chen Jian waved his hand: "Go and go. I'm here, so Fang La can't come up no matter how hard he is."

As soon as Gu An turned around, he saw a messenger running over with a hurried look on his face, gasping for a few breaths and said: "Report! Lord Chen, dozens of large ships appeared on the Qiantang River south, with Fang La's flag on it! The Commander Zhang, who guarded the southern city wall, did not know how to decide, so I specially ordered me to report it."

The two suddenly changed their faces. Gu An was about to speak, but another messenger ran over and said, "Report! Lord Chen! Dozens of large ships suddenly appeared on Hangzhou Bay, all of which were wearing Fang La's flag. Li Zhengwei was afraid and ordered his subordinates to come for help." Seeing Gu An frown and silent, Chen Jian said in a deep voice: "These two routes must be Fang La's killer moves. I'm afraid the two places are true and false. If we divide our troops to defend, we may not be able to resist."

After pondering for a long time, Gu An asserted: "Don't worry about Hangzhou Bay, they should be the main attack on the South City Wall. I will take the soldiers over immediately."

Chen Jian thought about it and felt that the possibility of the rebel army launching an attack from Hangzhou Bay is not high, so he nodded: "Okay, it seems that I underestimated the thief army before. Be careful when you go there. If you feel that something is wrong, I will rush over immediately."

Gu An bowed slightly to him and then walked quickly down the city.

Like the rebel army, the government army is of different quality, and the difference in combat strength between them is also very obvious. The quality of the wing army from some other counties is almost the same as that of ordinary people. Many of them are assassinated and assigned to the army after committing crimes. They are usually responsible for doing some miscellaneous work, and it is the first time they go to war.

The relatively elite in the city was the defenders in the west of the city at this time, with about 3,000 people. When they learned that the southern city wall was very likely to be attacked by the main force of the bandit army, Gu An immediately transferred more than 1,500 people to rush to the south of the city.

The rebels led by Lu Shinang and Fang Jie who attacked the southern city walls were the rebels led by Lu Shinang and Fang Jie. After experiencing large and large battle formations from Taizhou to Hangzhou, they can also be called elite.

Qiantang River is a natural moat of the southern city wall, but the warships of the rebels "turned dangers into a barrage", using warships to cover arrows, approach the city wall and then attacked on a ladder.

When Gu An led reinforcements to the south city wall, the rebels had already attacked the city wall, which scared him. Fortunately, the number of rebels who climbed the city wall was not large, and the reinforcements were killed and retreated as soon as they arrived.

Subsequently, at the urging of Lu Shinang and Fang Jie, the rebels' attack became more fierce and brave, and many soldiers sacrificed their lives to pull the official army into the river together.

Although the casualties of the official army gradually increased, Gu An felt a little calmer. The strength of the bandit army in front of him was enough to prove that they were the elites of the rebel army, which showed that he guessed correctly that the rebel army was mainly attacking the south of the city.

What Gu An didn't know was that the south of the city was indeed the main direction of the rebels' attack, but the west of the city was also, and even the west was where the fierce generals gathered. However, Gu An and others did not know much about the rebels, and the intelligence was limited to Fang La, Wang Yin, and Shi Bao.

In the west of the city, shortly after Gu An left, a group of people walked behind Fang La with various weapons.

This group of people are the mainstays of the entire Fangla group, namely Shi Bao, Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang, Pang Wanchun, Guo Shiguang, Gao Keli, Qian Zhenpeng, Zheng Biao, Bao Daoyi and others, all of whom are first-class masters.

"See the Holy Lord!" The generals bowed to Fang La.

Fang La rode a large purple-bearded horse, looked at the city wall in front, and slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it high, and heard a loud shout: "Kill!", then took the lead and rushed towards the city wall.

The generals immediately followed and followed closely.

In the siege camp, the real elite of Fang La army, an army composed of the Manichaeists, also launched a charge with swords and shields.

At this time, the ordinary rebels were still attacking, but Fang La and the generals were in an indomitable aura and the uniform steps of the Manichae church were seen by Chen Jian. His face suddenly changed drastically. He hurriedly ordered the crossbowman: "Hurry up! Don't worry about the soldiers, concentrate on fire and shoot those generals!"

Even the warriors who entered the hall could only run away when facing thousands of arrows. In addition to Fang La, Shi Bao and others were blocked by the arrows shot from the sky, dodging left and right, and waving weapons to resist. "General Chen, there are not enough arrows, so you can't shoot them anymore." A shout suddenly came from the archers' team.

Chen Jian asked angrily, "Why isn't it enough? Isn't there still a lot in the morning?"

"I used to consume some of it, but Lord Gu took away a lot of it, but now there is not much left."

Chen Jian's face darkened and shouted: "The crossbowman stopped first, keep arrows and shoot the thief army behind him. The sword and axe man stepped forward, and when these generals came up, they should surround and kill them as soon as possible."

Chen Jian was giving orders, but he saw a dark red figure jumping up from under the city wall and sweeping away the soldiers beside the wall with one sword.

Looking at Fang La with red light all over her body, Chen Jian felt a chill even as the warrior who entered the house. He retreated and shouted: "He is the thief Fang La! Go! Killing Fang La is a great achievement! It is no problem to be named a marquis and be a general!"

Fang La suddenly turned his head and glanced at him, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the swords and axes and soldiers also shone their eyes and began to kill Fang La.

Fang La's martial arts are like a realm of transformation, and on this city wall, it is like a god of killing. Every sword is swung, it will bring a narrow red light. The soldiers you encounter may be suddenly cut off at the least, and the weapons may be dismembered on the spot.

The officers and soldiers gradually felt timid and began to retreat involuntarily as they looked at their companions' tragic situation.

"Don't be afraid of him! He is alone now! When his true energy is exhausted, he will be dead!" Chen Jian roared behind him.

It seemed that his roar had effect, and the official army began to surround him again, but was instantly forced to retreat one after another by Fang La's sword energy.

At this time, Shi Bao, Li Tianrun and others climbed up the ladder one after another. Even if their strength was not as shocking as Fang La, they were insurmountable mountains in front of the official army.

Pang Wanchun, who was carrying a big bow, saw Chen Jian as soon as possible after climbing the city wall. He immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow.

Chen Jian couldn't react and was shot through his left shoulder by an arrow, which was heart-wrenchingly painful. He was about to turn around and escape, but was hit by Shi Bao's flying hammer and rolled to the ground. He couldn't get up for a while.

At this time, Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang and others had already entered the flock of sheep and started to kill the government army on the city. The formation of the nearby government army was torn apart. The generals occupied the outer edge of the city wall, making the official archers unable to advance.

Soon, the Manichaeans began to climb up the ladder. Without the suppression of crossbowmen, the Manichaeans quickly climbed up the city wall and fought with the generals and the officials.

When Chen Jian was helped up by his personal soldiers and slowly woke up, the city walls were already filled with Manichaeans, and the officials were killed and retreating step by step.

As he watched everything, Chen Jian's eyes immediately turned dark and he completely fainted.

After Chen Jian fainted, the deputy generals around him were anxious. Seeing that the Manichaeans rushed up the city wall like a flood, they began to organize a retreat, trying to run to Gu An to the south city.

As the saying goes, the defeat was like a mountain of fallen. When many officers and soldiers saw that the situation was over, they began to flee and ignored the orders of the generals, exposing the generals to the attacks of Fang La and others.

Fang La and others chased and killed all the officials, while the Manichaeans rushed down the city wall and opened the city gate, and ignited the army.

In the south of the city, Gu An realized that something was wrong before he learned that the west gate was broken. Although the rebels in the south of the city had a strong offensive and the official army suffered a lot of casualties, he still felt that the strength was not enough and the rebels should not stop there.
