When Li Xu heard the news of the arrival of the thief vanguard, he was not surprised but happy.

Since we traveled over, we have heard about the thief army in Yan'an Palace, but we have never seen what the thief army looks like with our own eyes. Today we will finally see the real thief army.

Although the people in the city were a little panicked after hearing the news, there was no order turmoil. The city walls and gates were reinforced, and all kinds of supplies were brought to the top of the city. The sharp weapons such as rolling wood, stone, and gold juice were piled up on the top of the city.

Although the township Yongchang was not full, it already had nearly 2,000 troops, with high morale and military morale. In addition to the township Yongchang, three thousand young and strong people were recruited to temporarily help defend the city and transport materials.

With such full preparation, although the arrival of a thousand thief vanguards would put some pressure on the military and civilians in the city, it was very limited.

Li Xu was wearing a helmet and armor, wearing military uniform, with four-edged iron mace hanging on the top of the city to press the formation. Two guards behind him stood up solemnly holding his double-edged horse spear, and a big flag with the word "Li" roared behind him in the wind, roaring.

The cavalry scouts sent out kept sending back the news of the bandit army:

"Report! The bandit army is already ten miles away!"

"Report! The bandit army is five miles away!"

"Report! The thief army is already two miles away!"

"Report!..."

No need to report, Li Xu stood on the top of the city and saw a group of people coming towards the county town in a mess. The banner "Cao" was first attracted by the eye.

"Who is this surname Cao?" Li Xu asked casually, but no one could answer him.

There is still too little information about the bandit army now, so the cavalry scouts can only detect the movements of the opponent's large groups of people in real time, but they know almost nothing about the information of the enemy's generals.

There may be some on the Black Ice Platform, but it is not shared with Sanshui County, so naturally no one can know who the thief was leading the troops.

The bandit army came to the west gate of Sanshui County. Looking at the front of the city, he knew that the city was ready, and the leading thief general was not surprised. He waved his hand, turned a cavalry from behind him, and went forward and shouted loudly at the city head:

"Listen to the officers and soldiers in the city, my general is Cao Fang, the general under the command of King Gao. King Gao ordered my general Cao to lead two thousand men to be the vanguard. King Gao brought a hundred thousand troops behind him and came soon. If you want to survive, quickly tie the dog officials in the yamen and open the city gate and kneel down to surrender. If you don't know what to do, when my king's 100,000 troops arrive, they will break the city without leaving any chickens and dogs! Give you a stick of incense to consider, we will attack the city as soon as the time comes!"

For the first time, Li Xu heard someone persuaded to surrender at the city, and was a little curious, but after hearing this, he felt that he was not very interested.

Moreover, the guy who persuaded the surrender was bragging that he could not pay taxes. Not to mention whether Gao Huzi had a total of 100,000 people under his command, even if there were, it would be impossible for him to send them all here to attack a small county town.

But he didn't believe it, but someone believed it.

These words of persuading surrender caused a little commotion on the top of the city, but it quickly disappeared.

Because today, those who were guarding the city were basically Li Xu's direct troops, but those who were just worried were the young and strong who were recruiting to help defend the city. After being scolded by the soldiers, they kept silent.

Li Xu felt a little familiar when he heard the name Cao Fang. After a closer look, he found that the "Cao" under the city was actually an acquaintance, which was the leader of Cheng Tianbao who fled in front of Lijiazhuang that day.

Later, when interrogating the prisoner, the prisoner once said his name, and Li Xu then had an impression that he had not matched the number before, but now he finally matched the number.

Although Cao Fang was stout and wearing armor, she was a short figure. She was content with a high head and a big horse. She was serene and proud. Her short legs were hanging in the air, which was really funny.

This person escaped from his subordinates that day. He thought he had been hiding in that corner, but he didn't expect that he would join Gao Huzi and even do a pioneer job. Today he happened to come to Li Xu, which made Li Xu sigh in his heart that this person has a great fate with him.

Li Xu thought to himself that if you were asked to run away this time, my county magistrate would be your grandfather. While secretly explaining to the first song of the cavalry in the village to prepare for attack, he also sent someone to call the city to wait for a while. Several guards in the city were discussing the matter of opening the city to surrender.

Cao Fang was not suspected of being a fraud, because after he arrived at Yan'an Prefecture, he saw the power of the tens of thousands of troops under Gao Huzi, and felt that the government troops in the world were all native chickens and tile dogs and were simply vulnerable.

When I was in Yan'an Prefecture, I heard a lot of things that the county towns would surrender when they saw the Gao Dawang army. I was already full of confidence in the deterrence of the Gao Bei army.

In addition, the Sanshui County Town in front of me is just a small city, and the city wall is only half the height of Yan'an Prefecture City.

The Yan'an Prefecture City has been taken down. What confidence can such a small city have to resist the army of Gao Dawang?

The person in charge just now called to Cao Fang and said, "General, the city is so harsh, but surrenders so lightly. Be careful of fraud."

Cao Fang sneered at this: "Although you have a loud voice, you don't have enough brains. How long can this little Sanshui County be protected? Not to mention that there are internal forces in the city, if they dare to surrender, we will attack the city. As long as the offensive is more fierce, people will inevitably be in a state of mind. At that time, the internal forces should make trouble from it and take the opportunity to open the city gate. This county is our pocket."

The man stopped talking and smiled flatteringly: "General Cao made a brilliant plan. Maybe we can have lunch in the county government office at noon."

A group of thieves around Cao Fang laughed at the sound of this.

Although Li Xu saw that Cao Fang was funny, he knew that he was hiding outside the land of an arrow, and was obviously afraid that the cold arrows on the city wall would be shot to kill him.

However, Li Xu sneered in his heart. This grandson was destined to be a stepping stone for him to become famous today.

When the signal was sent to the city, two hundred cavalry had gathered in the city gate and were ready to attack at any time.

Li Xu sneered and suddenly shouted: "Cao Fang, do you dare to agree if I ask you?"

Several loud soldiers who were specially drawn by their side shouted in unison: "Cao Fang, do you dare to agree if I call you?"

Cao Fang, who was enjoying the praises of the minions under the city, was stunned when he heard this. He subconsciously raised his head to look at the head of the city, recalling that he seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere.

No! He suddenly remembered this sentence, which was said by the young white horse who used "demon technique" to take the life of his good brother Cheng Tianbao before killing people. How could it be reproduced here?

Cao Fang, who subconsciously felt something was wrong, instinctively wanted to avoid it. Although he was standing outside the ground with an arrow from the city, he instinctively felt that he was in a very dangerous situation at this time.

But it was too late. The moment he looked up, he saw a heavy wolf-toothed arrow roaring from the top of the city. Before he could do anything to avoid it, the feather arrow shot into his left eye and penetrated from the back of his head.

Cao Fang didn't even have time to yell and fell off his horse.

The main general was still chatting and laughing confidently just now, but the next moment he fell off his horse and fell to the ground without saying a word. This incident made the surrounding bandits dumb for a moment.

At this moment, the city gate had quietly opened, and two hundred cavalry had already rolled out like a strong wind. The horse's hooves suddenly turned like rain. The cold light shone on the sabre and rushed towards the dull thief army.

The defenders on the top of the city also began to shout in unison: "Cao Fang is dead, Cao Fang is dead, the bandit army is defeated, the bandit army is defeated!"
