The direction of the gray-yellow smoke and dust is the base camp of the Yuan soldiers, in addition to the countless camp tents, the most important thing is the hoarded grain and forage, this time Li Heng is very well prepared, that is, he will not run out of food for a few months, and he will definitely not repeat the last time Lu Shikui retreated to Guangzhou.

Could it be that the Song army sent troops out of the city to attack the camp? Where did Li Heng stay, flew on the horse and took the hundreds of soldiers around him, and rushed over against the smoke and dust. If it was really the Song army that attacked the grain and grass, it should have been set on fire, but the rumbling sound and the smoke and dust on the opposite side were wrong.

A big black horse, grinning and showing snow-white teeth, like a king on an expedition, at the front of the huge herd, gracefully stepping on four long legs, is choosing the target to be crushed.

The huge herd of tens of thousands of war horses, under the leadership of the big black horse, rushed out of the embankment like a rolling river, two granaries and a forage field were trampled to flat ground, and tens of thousands of military camp tents were completely destroyed. However, the camp tent left behind was not enough to sleep, and even 30,000 or 40,000 dead and wounded could not return to their barracks, and tens of thousands of horses lost their original owners.

The big black horse laughed while running, and said in his heart that this harvest is the boss, these horses can eat for a long, long time, and they will never worry about no meat to eat from now on, but no amount of meat can be eaten enough to add a bite of that delicious stone.

Thinking about it, the big black horse's mouth was greedy, and he drooled down the big white teeth, this disease can only be cured by the stone in Zhao Tianyou's arms, and he can't relax his mouth today without adding dozens of mouthfuls to it. The big black horse was greedy, and as soon as he turned his direction, he ran towards the north city gate, and if he returned to the city with so many horses, he had to take a detour.

Its turn was equivalent to saving the lives of Li Heng's hundreds of people, who were immediately stupid after approaching, and had been fighting on horseback for a long time, knowing very well the power of these ten thousand horses. These hundreds of centaurs face the herd of horses, and they can't even see a small splash, and these centaurs will be trampled into a puddle of mud, and even the funeral burial will be saved, and there will be no complete body left.

Li Heng reined in the horse's reins and stopped in place, letting the smoke and dust fall all over his face, and the soldiers under his command also opened their mouths widely, watching the horses listen to the sound of hooves, and watching the horses run north.

"What's going on? Can you explain to me, our tens of thousands of horses actually defected and ran to the Song army, who? Who's going to tell me? ”

A commander in charge of the horse farm lowered his head and said: "Report to Li Shuai, I don't know when, there was a big black horse in the horse farm, and several of my men took a horse pole to catch it, but I didn't expect it to be kicked to death by even people and horses."

Then it roared and screamed in the stable, and slowly many horses gathered and ran after it, first breaking down the fences of several fields, then the granary from the hay field, and then ......"

"I've seen this, what I want to ask you is, why did the war horse we fed since childhood, why did it go with it, you can explain it!" Li Heng asked loudly again, who can answer this question? It was obvious that he was deliberately looking for trouble in his heart, and the thousand-commander's forehead was sweating, and his heart began to flutter.

Li Heng was not like this in the past, he was very strict in governing the army but he also treated his subordinates well, and he was extremely calm, and he never knew his guilt because of his temper. But today is unusual, Li Heng's heart seems to have been turned over and over by a blunt knife for more than ten times, and all kinds of helpless, painful and anxious emotions almost drove him crazy.

"Drag it down......"

The commander's neck shrank sharply, and two sturdy soldiers jumped up behind him, one of whom grabbed him by one of his arms, so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"Give me thirty sticks!"

"Xie Li Shuai is sympathetic to his subordinates! Xie Li Shuai ......"

The big black horse galloped indulgently, ran through the north city gate with the herd of horses, turned to the right and ran straight to the east, after crossing a mountain stream and a small river, it had to pass through a field of crops for the people, and detoured to the east gate into the city.

There was also a sloppy stamping on the road, but compared to the capture of these horses, it was just a drop in the bucket, and when the big black horse appeared at the east gate with a herd of horses, the soldiers at the head of the city were boiling all at once.

At the beginning, the soldiers didn't dare to open the city gate, and they were scolded by the big black horse for a while, and hurriedly found Zhao Tianyou to come, so they opened the city gate and let them in. There were not many horses in the Lingnan area, and when Guangzhou was upgraded to the Dragon Mansion, it was necessary to expand the cavalry, and it took great effort to ask for a thousand war horses from elsewhere.

Compared with the Song army, it has always been in the form of mixed infantry and cavalry to fight against the Yuan soldiers, and the poor cavalry easily did not dare to send them to the front. In fact, I also know in my heart that even if I go up, it will be given in vain, and I will soon be besieged by the Yuan soldiers, and even a horse leg will not be left if I eat it little by little.

Today, these Song troops have opened their eyes, what is called a herd of horses and what is called a horse team, under the supervision of the big black horse at the city gate, the war horses of these Yuan soldiers are lined up in rows, and the process of orderly columns is amazing.

The city guard army originally had an establishment of 8,000 cavalry, and the barracks, materials, and horse farms were all ready-made, but they had been abandoned for a long time, and after sending hundreds of people to clean up, they could be used immediately.

Zhao Tianyou rewarded the big black horse, and after lunch, let it monopolize the jade seal, and licked it around and didn't know what the benefit was, anyway, the greedy little gray gray was walking around at Zhao Tianyou's feet, but he didn't dare to go up and grab food with the big black horse.

Accompanied by the two pets who made meritorious contributions today, Zhao Tianyou still went to the city, and above the west city gate, Zhang Zhensun convened all the officials in Guangzhou to jointly hold a farewell ceremony for the soldiers and people who died in today's battle to defend the city.

Hundreds of clerks and academy students with pens in their hands were registering the names of each corpse and the simple experience of their deaths in battle, as well as countless unrecognizable remains, all of which were put together.

The people spontaneously brought wooden basins from their homes, brought clean water, and took white hand towels to wipe the faces of each corpse, arrange the collar and cuffs of their clothes, and let them go to the other world in a dignified manner.

The defenders of the city lost 2,700 dead and more than 3,900 wounded, and the people of Guangzhou who supported them died 800 and wounded 1,600.

The battle they had experienced was not the first time, nor would it be the last, and there was no sadness on the faces of the living, just a peaceful farewell to them. Maybe soon the next dawn, the fierce battle will begin again, and how many people will lie down today, no one knows!

And the war in Meizhou, a few hundred miles away, is almost coming to an end!
