"General, there is Chaisan in front!"

When Li Siye was marching, a sergeant from the front suddenly came to report.

Li Siye looked up and saw an ancient city of Wei Wei surrounded by mountains and rivers sitting in front of him.

Chaisang city south by Lushan north of the Yangtze River, the whole city is all made of bluestone casting, the city wall is as high as four or five zhang high, the moat outside the city also quotes the living water of the Yangtze River, the moat is wide, the water flow is urgent, it can be said that the terrain is dangerous, the city is high and the pool is deep!

"Pass the order, the whole army will speed up, and immediately seize the city!"

With Li Siye's order, all the iron horsemen mustered up their last strength, and once again accelerated their speed and swept straight towards Chaisang City.

Chaisang City has always been occupied by the Haiduan Liu clan before, but this time the Liu clan has transferred most of the soldiers and horses under their command, and most of their remaining soldiers and horses have been transferred back to the Haidusk area by the Liu clan marshal to protect the clan, and now there are only a few hundred soldiers and horses in Chaisang City to maintain daily security.

Li Siye and his entourage of thousands of iron horsemen rolled over, and when Li Siye's soldiers and horses were still far away from Chaisang, the Chaisang defenders had already seen the movement of the army outside the city, and the sergeants hurriedly raised the drawbridge and closed the city gate.

Li Siye led the iron cavalry to the outside of the city, and saw that the defenders in the city had raised the drawbridge and were waiting for the battle, so he could only order the army to stop outside the city.

The defenders of the city were also taken aback when they saw that there were thousands of iron horsemen attacking outside, what was going on, where did this iron cavalry come from?

Seeing that the soldiers and horses outside the city were a little unfamiliar, the general of Chaisang hurriedly came to the place of the city gate tower and shouted: "Where are you soldiers and horses, why did you come to my Chaisang place!" ”

Li Siye ordered the sergeant to take out the three heads from the box and display them, and then replied loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, I am the vanguard general Li Siye under the account of the rear general!" Liu Yue and the other thieves have been killed by my father-in-law, and the head is here! I have come to collect Chaisan by order of my lord, and if you know the times, you will quickly open the gates of the city and surrender; Otherwise, when my lord's 50,000 army arrives, you will have only a dead end, and even the entire city will be destroyed because of your choice! ”

After the defenders of the city heard Li Siye's shout, they exclaimed one after another:

"What! How is this possible that all the generals are dead? This time there are several coalition troops, is it possible that these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are all gone? ”

"General Hou, that must be General Yuan Yao! I have heard of the name of this Li Siye, he is indeed a general under Yuan Yao, and it is said that he has previously beheaded Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang! ”

"All the generals are dead, now that Yuan Yao's army is coming, what should we do!"

"What else can we do, now we only have one way out, if we don't go out of the city and surrender, do we really have to wait for the enemy to slaughter the city?"

"Well, this is reasonable, it's a small matter for us to die, but we must not affect the people of the whole city!"

……

The more the defenders in the city talked, the more lively they became, and even the eyes looking at the guards became different, after all, these defenders were all Chaisang natives, and their wives and children were all in the city, so it was impossible for them to forget their own wives and children for the sake of the Liu family.

What's more, now that the Haiyang Liu clan has been defeated, and all the generals have also died, now that Yuan Yao's army is pressing, I'm afraid that the Haiyang Liu clan has no way to find trouble with them even if they want to.

Standing in front of the city wall, Guard General Chai Sang only felt a chill in his back, and he could also think of what was going on behind him.

I'm afraid that as long as he dares to say something like defending to the end, these soldiers behind him will not hesitate to kill him, and then take his head and surrender.

However, it is his duty to defend the city, how can he not surrender directly without doing anything, not to mention that the soldiers and horses brought by Li Siye are all cavalry, even if they have more soldiers and horses, they will not be able to attack the city.

In case this group of soldiers and horses outside the city just took a few heads and came to deceive the city, wouldn't he be in danger of a catastrophe if he set up the enemy to enter the city?

The guard hesitated for a moment and replied loudly: "Since the general claims that General Liu and the others have been killed in battle, I wonder if the general dares to let me send someone to check the head?" ”

When Li Siye came, he deliberately brought the heads of Liu Yue and others, in order to prevent this from happening.

The heads of Liu Yue and the others are all true, and Li Siye naturally checks them casually: "You can send someone to check the head, but this is also my last patience!" If you don't go out of the city and surrender after checking your head, then I'll turn around and leave. But the next time I come back, it's too late for you to surrender! ”

The guard general heard Li Siye's reply, and believed what Li Siye said just now, it seems that Liu Yue and others should have died in battle, so they can only know the current affairs as Junjie!

The guard general turned around and called a confidant and asked him to leave from the Water Gate in a small boat and go outside the city to check the heads of Liu Yue and others.

This henchman was also very nervous when he heard that such a 'heavy responsibility' had fallen on his head.

Although he wanted to refuse, but after he saw the eyes of the person next to him who dared to say that if you don't go, we will throw you down the city, he could only hold the words of refusal in his mouth and promised to take the order to go down to the city and take a boat to check the head.

This henchman came to the shore tremblingly, and when he saw that no one had done anything to him, he was a little relieved, and hurriedly came to Li Siye's horse to check the heads of Liu Yue and others.

The heads of Liu Yue and the others have been processed, and although they are a little stinky, they can still be distinguished from their general appearance.

After confirming the identities of the three heads, the guard's henchmen hurriedly sent a previously discussed signal to the city wall.

When the city guard saw the signal, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly replied in a loud voice: "Thank you for the general's understanding, and then open the city and invite the general to enter the city!" ”

"Someone! Quickly lower the drawbridge, open the city gates, and follow me to welcome General Li into the city! ”

The sergeants hurriedly lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate, and then went down to the city to line up and prepare to welcome Li Siye's army into the city.

With a loud "bang", the suspension bridge of Chaisang City fell heavily, and the city gate was slowly opened, and Chaisang City, an important town in Jiangzuo, has since opened its arms to Li Siye.

Li Siye was about to order the army to enter the city, when a partial general next to him suddenly shouted: "Look, general, there is a fleet in the distance, and its banner should be Jiangdong soldiers and horses!" ”

Li Siye turned around and looked, only to see a fleet of ships coming rapidly on the Yangtze River in the distance, and the flag of the Jiangdong Army was hanging on the warship!

"It's dangerous! Fortunately, we came one step earlier, gave the order, and the army entered the city quickly! ”

Li Siye didn't care about the defenders in the city now and hadn't come out to greet him, so he galloped towards the suspension bridge, and all the iron horsemen saw that they had also entered the city one after another, and Li Siye was one step ahead after all!
