Chapter 46: Li Siye VS Jiang Qin
"Bang!"
Li Siye led his iron cavalry into the city, raised the drawbridge and closed the city gate, and the Jiangdong naval army led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai also came to the outside of the moat of Chaisang.
After the army entered the city, in order to prevent changes in the city, Li Siye left a team of soldiers and horses to disarm and guard the defenders in the city, and he took the city guards to lead the rest of the soldiers to climb the city wall with bows and arrows.
When the Jiangdong naval army was in the distance, they also saw that a group of soldiers and horses had entered the city of Chaisang, and after the army came to Chaisang, they did not rush into the moat but stopped on the Yangtze River.
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai ordered the flagship to come forward and stop at a place outside the land of Chaisang, and Zhou Tai shouted: "Where did you come from, don't you know that this Chaisang City already belongs to my Jiangdong!" You dare to enter my Jiangdong City, you can't do it because you want to die! ”
Li Siye made people erect Yuan Yao's Hou General Shuai Qi and his own general flag, and shouted: "I am the Tiger Ben General Li Siye under the command of the Hou General, I don't know which general from Jiangdong came?" ”
Zhou Tai couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he heard that it was Yuan Yao's tiger army who seized Chaisang.
Well?
Yuan Yao's Tiger Army?
Shouldn't they be in Shu County now, how could they get to Chaisang so quickly?
Zhou Tai pondered why the Tiger Ben Army appeared here, and replied loudly: "I am Jiangdong General Zhou Tai Yesye, this is my eldest brother Jiang Qin Jiang Gongyi!" Your lord has always been good friends with my Jiangdong, I don't know why your tiger army seized the city of my Jiangdong? Is there any misunderstanding in this, if you lead the troops to retreat now, I Jiangdong will never pursue this matter! ”
As if he had heard a big joke, Li Siye laughed a few times and scolded loudly: "Hahahaha, General Zhou's words are wrong!" That Liu Yue and others were defeated by my lord, and this Chaisang City should naturally belong to my lord, I don't know when this Chaisang City became the city of Jiangdong? The general's words are too unreasonable, right? ”
"When the general said this, I was a little curious, my lord has just defeated the Liu family's soldiers and horses, why did your Jiangdong Navy arrive here in such a timely manner? I wonder if the general may be able to solve my doubts? ”
Zhou Tai didn't expect Li Siye's words to be so sharp, and he was speechless immediately, after all, they came to snatch the fruits of victory, but now he didn't expect to meet someone else's boss, Zhou Tai is not a person who can mess around, what else can he say?
Jiang Qin originally thought about whether he could rely on the might of the Jiangdong Army to force the Huben Army to give up Chaisang, but now seeing that Li Siye didn't eat this at all, he stepped forward and patted Zhou Tai's shoulder to make him retreat, and he stepped forward and replied: "General Hou has always been friendly with my Jiangdong, and my lord learned that General Hou and Haiduan Liu had a big battle, so he ordered us to lead the troops to break through his back road to help General Hou, but I didn't expect that I was still a step late for day and night, it's a pity!" ”
Jiang Qin put on a helpless posture that he and others came to help but failed to do their best, and then he saw the dagger and said: "I am very tired from waiting for the long way, I wonder if the general can let me wait to enter the city to replenish and rest?" ”
When the Jiangdong soldiers and horses heard Jiang Qin's words, they also understood what Jiang Qin meant, and they all put on an appearance that if you dare not let us enter the city, we will meet each other!
Li Siye didn't expect Jiang Qin to be so brazen in reversing black and white, and laughed angrily, saying: "According to what the general said, I, Li Siye, have to thank the general?" Well? ”
Jiang Qin smiled slightly, and replied: "Thank you is not necessary, after all, your lord and I Jiangdong are on good terms, this is also our duty, you just need to let me wait for the city to resupply and rest, after my army is rested, we will lead the army to leave." ”
In particular, Lao Tzu believes in your evil, if you are allowed to enter the city, I am afraid that it is impossible to say who this Chaisang is!
Li Siye also knew that it would definitely not work to let Jiangdong soldiers and horses enter the city, but the soldiers and horses under his command all came from afar, and now they are exhausted and have no combat power at all, plus Li Siye also knows the current situation, and now is not the time to turn his face with Jiangdong, at this time, it is best not to clash with Jiangdong soldiers and horses.
Li Siye looked at the Jiangdong soldiers and horses who were messing around, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know what to do for a while, could he really start a war with the Jiangdong soldiers and horses?
At this moment, the general Chai Sang on the side stepped forward and bowed: "General, the villain has a strategy to solve the general's worries!" ”
Li Siye tilted his head and glanced at this person, and asked as a dead horse doctor, "Oh? What's your idea? If you can solve the dilemma in front of you, I will definitely report to the Lord and reward you! ”
General Chaisang stretched out his hand and pointed to the west of the city, and said: "The general doesn't know, there is a water village ten miles away from here, which was originally where Liu Yuetun's garrison was located, and now it is empty, since the Jiangdong soldiers and horses want to find a place to supply and rest, the general can send them there to rest, and then send ships to send some money and grain to the army, so they naturally have nothing to say." ”
Li Siye didn't expect this person to really come up with a clever plan, turned around and asked, "Huh?" What is your name! ”
General Chai Sang hurriedly replied: "Return to the general, villain Mahe." ”
"Good! When the Jiangdong soldiers and horses retreat, I will definitely ask the lord for credit for you, now you can stay with me first. ”
"No, my subordinates take orders!"
Li Siye patted Ma He's shoulder and walked to the city again, and replied loudly with a smile: "General Jiang, your army has come from afar, and we naturally can't be rude." ”
"However, the Chaisang water gate is narrow, your warships may be difficult to enter the city, in order to avoid trouble, in the next has found another place for your army to rest, there is a water village ten miles away from here, originally used by Liu Yuetun's soldiers, where the camp tent is complete, the general can go directly to the station, and later send ships to send money and food supplies to your army."
Jiang Qin didn't expect Li Siye to give him such a play, but now his only excuse is gone, plus he has already said that they came to help in the war, and now it is not good to turn his face again, Jiang Qin can only admit the matter with a dark face, and replied loudly: "So thank General Li first!" ”
"Let's go, turn around and set up camp in the water village!"
Jiang Qin and the others had already seen the water village when they came to Chaisang, but in order to seize the city before, they did not send people to investigate, and now they did not expect that they did not grab the city, and they had to go back there and set up camp.
The Jiangdong Navy turned around and returned one after another, and Zhou Tai asked unwillingly: "Big brother, can we really just go back like this?" If we come to seize Chaisang, if we return in vain, won't we become a laughing stock in the mouths of the generals? ”
Jiang Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Then Li Siye doesn't eat hard and soft, what can we do?" It's better to set up camp first and station the soldiers and horses, and then go back to General Zhou to see what he has to say. ”
Zhou Tai snorted coldly and said, "Since the tongue doesn't work, then use your fist!" After the ship docked, I led a hundred soldiers to Chaisang to challenge Li Siye, if Li Siye was weak and did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, the hearts of the people in Chaisang City would be fluctuating, and then we would lead the army to take advantage of the situation and attack Chaisang; If Li Siye dares to go out of the city to face the battle, I will try to capture and kill him, and then the tiger army will be leaderless, and we will definitely be able to take Chaisang City down with a drum! ”
Jiang Qin thought about the strength of the Zhou Tai Nahe people, Li Siye had no reputation, and should not be his opponent, hesitated for a moment, and then responded to the matter, and said: "Brother Xian, don't worry about going to challenge, I will personally lead a thousand soldiers and horses to meet you behind." ”
After the Jiangdong naval army arrived at the water village, Zhou Tai immediately selected a hundred elite soldiers, and then turned over and led the army straight to Chaisang City, Jiang Qin saw this, and ordered the general in the army to camp with a large army, and he also selected a thousand elite soldiers to fall behind Zhou Tai's army and go straight to Chaisang City.
The water village is only ten miles away from Chaisang City, and Zhou Tai led the army all the way to the outside of Chaisang City.
Li Siye saw Zhou Tai go and return, and said with a sigh: "General Zhou is here for money and food supplies, and he will be sent to your army later, and the general really doesn't have to come to ask for it in person." ”
What's the matter, are you treating Lao Tzu as a begging for food?
Zhou Tai was suddenly furious, looked at the city and shouted: "General Li, I heard that the general is known as the 'first fierce general under the command of the rear general', Zhou Tai is not talented, he came here to ask the general for advice, and asked the general to go out of the city to give advice!" ”
Well?
Didn't you come to ask for money and food, but you wanted to challenge me?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Siye understood Zhou Tai's purpose, and said secretly in his heart: This Jiangdong soldiers and horses are really ghostly, and at this time they still want to beat me Chai Sang's abacus, do you really treat me Li Siye as a soft persimmon?
It seems that if you don't show your skills to deter Jiangdong soldiers and horses, this Chaisang City itself won't want to stay in peace anymore!
Li Siye sneered a few times and said: "Since General Zhou has this Yaxing, he can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, and please wait a while for the general to leave the city here!" ”
Li Siye saw that Zhou Tai only brought a hundred soldiers, and ordered: "Bring all the soldiers in the city to the city wall, prepare fifty iron cavalry, put down the drawbridge and open the city gate, I will go out of the city to meet Zhou Tai!" ”
"No, my subordinates take orders!"
Li Siye picked up his weapon and turned over his horse, led fifty iron horsemen out of the city, and set up a formation in front of the suspension bridge to protect the suspension bridge. ”
Zhou Tai was eight feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, dressed in iron armor, holding a strange long knife about four feet long with a slight arc, and a fierce reckless air all over his body.
Zhou Tai sat on the horse and returned the salute, saying, "Please advise!" ”
As soon as Zhou Tai's words fell, he suddenly pulled out the long knife in his right hand, beat the horse and went straight to Li Siye, and the long knife in Zhou Tai's hand slashed straight at Li Siye's throat like a white exercise......
