The war overseas in Chuzhou is in full swing, and the land route is like cold air blowing from the north, all of them are frozen, the weather is gloomy and gloomy, and the clouds are almost pressed overhead, even if you don't understand astronomy, you know that once it falls, it will definitely not be rain.

On the canal from Yangzhou to Chuzhou, there is no lively scene of boats coming and going in the past, the slender men sit around the head of the village in twos and threes, either talking about the war that is close at hand, or worrying about the future, the people in the village are almost gone, if it is not for the requirements of the government, they need a piece of work, but they are afraid that they have already been on the road, but the soldiers and horses under the city of Yangzhou have not moved, until one early morning, suddenly there was a continuous sound of horns, breaking the long-standing silence.

Xu Wende of Zhihe Prefecture sat on a majestic Beidi horse, its size was much higher than that of ordinary Mongolian war horses, who the original owner was, it is impossible to know, maybe he died in the prisoner of war camp, or maybe he died on the battlefield, and his eyes had a trace of arrogance that could not be concealed, because what followed behind was not an ordinary foot soldier, but a cavalry army, as many as 5,000 cavalry!

Being able to lead this mobile force that is the best in the country shows that Li Tingzhi attaches great importance to him, only in this way can he offset the small resentment that he can't do this in a certain aspect, and defend Jiankang City alone, how can he be worthy of the pleasure of Huaisi?

On the side of the canal, the river flows very slowly, it looks like it may freeze at any time, and the official road under the feet, the hard soil is frozen into a block, and when you step on it, it will make a "bangbang" sound, not to mention the horse's hooves with iron palms, in the early morning, the cavalry of the brigade goes up along the canal, and in the eyes of the people, it is also a very beautiful scenery.

Arrogance is arrogance, there should be no lack of deployment, the scout in front of him was originally scattered by him, and now it is officially action, attacking from all sides, front and back, left and right, the news is constantly reported, and then transferred to the army behind, this meticulousness is the main reason why he became Li Tingzhi's confidant.

"The Yuan people withdrew from Lujin Town, and from here to the foot of Gaoyou City, it was unimpeded." Even the sentry had a clear mark of the Xu family, Xu Wende nodded noncommittally, raised the whip in his hand, and hit the horse at once.

"Brothers, do your best, don't let the Tartars run away."

All the cavalry soldiers who heard it responded to him with laughter, and there was no tension and uneasiness at all, as if dozens of miles away, those Yuan people who had besieged Gaoyou County for a month were not worth a day.

Naturally, such a big action can't hide from the eyes and ears of the Yuan people, and at the moment when the Song people's brigade rushed through Lujin Town, the news was sent to the Yuan people's military tent under Gaoyou City, and the first time they were in charge of an army, in fact, they were not even ten thousand households, and the hundred slaves were still a little incredulous.

"Do you really see it? There will be so many Song people. "Five thousand cavalry, which is already the same as the number of Mongolian cavalry in the hands of the instigation, of course, he does not think that a Song cavalry can be worth a Mongolian warrior, but this number is indeed a bit surprising.

"The little ones have confirmed again and again, only a little more." The Mongols in Fudi are his people, not only good at spying, but even know a little bit about this kind of skill, so to speak, it is naturally good, Baijia slave does not need him to take his head to vouch, if it is really wrong, what is the use of killing him?

Hearing that the news was confirmed, he was not surprised, walking back and forth in the tent, rubbing his hands together, if this is all the cavalry of the Song people, it can only mean one point, they can't hold it down, and they are going to march in a big way, and this is the purpose of him leading more than 20,000 foot soldiers to attack such a county.

Originally thought that the Song people would not have any determination to hold on, but he never thought that a city with a circumference of less than half of Chuzhou would actually block him for a month, until the weather was cold and the soldiers repeatedly could not attack and there were some complaints, so he ordered to stop the siege, and what he got for the loss of nearly 3,000 people actually came when he was about to give up.

"Immediately send an order, the whole army will pull out the camp, burn the ones that can't be taken away, all the cavalry will be withdrawn, and the general will be together with the palace, Lao Tzu wants to see how many Song people have come?"

Although he was young, his decisiveness was no less than that of his father, and his movements were not delayed for a moment, after all the foot soldiers set off, a hundred slaves with about a thousand cavalry were stationed on the side of the canal, and behind him was the county town of Gaoyou, which could not be attacked for a long time, and his eyes were always in the direction of Yangzhou, until the figure of the Song people's brigade appeared on the horizon.

"Sons, come with me and see how many they have."

Baijia Nu let out a long laugh and urged the horses to take the lead, and more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry followed him closely, rushing straight to the direction where the Song people came because of the official road, knowing that the other party was several times over, and no one was cowardly.

"Enemy attack!"

The forward of the Song army in front saw the movements of the Yuan people from a distance, and immediately made a gesture to meet the enemy backwards, and the whole team gradually slowed down, and before they completed the adjustment of the formation, the first arrow of the Yuan people flew into the air, and the sudden attack immediately caused a short period of confusion, and the forwards and the rear team who had avoided it were mixed together at once, which made Xu Wende, who was in the middle army, angry.

"What's the panic, how many of them are there, and those who are not afraid of death come with so-and-so."

In a hurry, he didn't care about gathering the team at all, and directly led the Chinese army to cross the men and horses in front, bypassed the official road, and pounced forward with a side-attack attitude.

"Haha! It's kind of interesting, let's go. ”

Baijianu had no intention of blocking the enemy at all, and no matter how effective the previous attack was, before the Song army pounced, he turned the horse's head, and the riding bow in his hand was still firing arrows, until the Song people were about to complete the encirclement, they shouted loudly, and withdrew with his men in the opposite direction, and the rumbling brigade of men and horses galloped under Gaoyou City, and it was only then that the defenders of the city understood what was happening.

"The Yuan people have withdrawn, Li Xianggong has come to save us, and the Yuan people have run away."

Xu Wende turned a deaf ear to the joy in the city, and the Yuan people's almost flirtatious tactics made him very ashamed, but he didn't dare to get too close, in the final analysis, the establishment of this cavalry army was not very long, and there was not much experience in actual combat, except for a small number of elites, it was still far from the quality of the Yuan people.

"Lao Xu, it's really you!" Hearing the familiar call, he turned back in astonishment, and a man covered in tatters and stubble stumbled over, and just as his own soldiers were about to step forward to stop him, he jumped off his horse and met the other party.

"Lao Zhen, I've hurt you." When Zhigaoyou Junyu heard this, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and he cried all of a sudden.

"It's bitter, you don't know, more than 2,000 brothers, only survived less than 500, all of them died, if you don't come again, this city will really not be able to hold it, it will not be able to hold it!" The six-foot-tall man, who was over forty years old, cried like a child.

Xu Wende and all the cavalry soldiers listened to his cry silently, and none of them had the heart to laugh.
