The Ming army in Xianghe City had only 3,000 people, which was about the same number as the Later Jin army. Originally, there were 4,000 people in the Later Jin army, but after the Ming army pieces and pieces, one thousand people were cut off. Thinking of this, Manguertai broke out in a cold sweat again. "I didn't expect that this Ming general was so powerful. If I hadn't thought about it carefully, I wouldn't have found that the troops had lost as much as 20%.

It is not for the blame for the meal of Manguertai, because most of the damaged troops were Dorgon and Duoduo's Zhengbai Banner and Inlaid White Banner. The Zhenglan Banner led by Manguertai only went to about 10%. So Manguertai didn't feel much. Now that he concentrated all his troops to settle the accounts, he found that only about 3,000 were left in the 4,000 soldiers, which was actually equal to the Ming army.

If only the number of people is equal, Mangguertai would not worry about anything. Under normal circumstances, the three thousand Later Jin warriors were fully capable of defeating or even annihilation of the Ming army with similar numbers. But the current situation was obviously abnormal. With a group of soldiers who wanted to sleep all the time, Mangguertai did not dare to break out. Why didn't Mangguertai choose to go out of the camp from the south gate and avoid the Ming army's infantry battle formation? Because Xianghe West City is close to the North Canal, there is about one and a half miles of official roads built along the city. If the Later Jin army retreated from here, it would inevitably be attacked by the Ming army's arrow rain, Mangguertai did not dare to take this risk.

As he thought about it, Mangguertai fell asleep. He was not awakened until Goshha informed Dorgon to ask for a meeting. "Fourth brother, what's the point of seeing him?" With his bloody red eyes, Mangguertai tried to speak in a gentle tone. He was afraid that his anger would vent on Dorgon and cause unnecessary disputes.

"Five Beile, my soldiers and I haven't had much rest for two days. If Five Beile wants my people to patrol tonight, the daytime defense will be left to Five Beile." Dorgon didn't want to fight at this time, but he had to say what he should say, otherwise even if he found an opportunity to break through, his own people would not have the strength to run away.

"Absolutely, even if the 14th brother rests and is unable to attack the city, it is still fine to defend the camp." Manguertai quickly realized that Dorgon's request must be fulfilled, otherwise only one thousand of them would be left with combat effectiveness and would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Ming army.

The Houjin camp was sad and misty, and the atmosphere in Xianghecheng County was warm. Zhou Shixiong helped more than 20 cavalry and more than 30 infantry to provide emergency treatment, and then returned to the yamen to meet the three victorious generals. Fang Zhenghua replaced Sun Zushou to command the infantry, and Black Cloud Leopard temporarily took over the command of the cavalry. Zuo Liangyu led his personal troops to wander outside the Jiannu camp. Looking at Jiannu huddled in the camp, everyone was in a relaxed mood.

"Mr. Zhou, this exhausted plan is really great. The elite Jiannu rushed to the front of the formation. Many people couldn't control the horse and fell directly to the ground, so that the officials could get a bargain." Sun Zushou was happy and directly dispersed all his family's wealth to recruit the thousand Changping's brave heroes. After two battles, he had already looked decent. Today, he blocked the way for Jiannu to escape north. He actually cut off two hundred heads and made great contributions.

Man Gui and Heiyunlong were envious and jealous. They set fire to the enemy camp separately. It was considered a merit to not lose one person to complete the task, but it was not as good as Sun Zushou's real contribution. Heiyunlong's eyes turned and remembered something, "Mr. Zhou, he will go to the enemy camp at the end of last night and discovered the horse circle where Jiannu set off the horse horses. He originally wanted to set fire to the fire to cut off most of Jiannu's combat power. Later, he didn't do anything to implement the plan. Why don't you take the horse circle tonight? Do you think it's okay?"

"Oh, the Black General talked about the location of the horse circle and the surrounding situation." Zhou Shixiong was very interested in this news. Because the distance exceeded the maximum observation range of the telescope, Zhou Shixiong could not see clearly the situation behind Jiannu camp. Otherwise, he would have thought of a way to attack the war horses.

Heiyunlong explained the situation he saw last night in detail, and Zhou Shixiong had an idea. However, he still needs to experiment. After all, this is a major event related to life and death, and we cannot draw conclusions based on taking it for granted. "General Man, there are still five hundred war horses in your camp, right?"

"Yes, Lord Zhou wants it?" Man Gui was a little reluctant, but he couldn't refuse, and his face looked a little bad.

"No, I want to do an experiment, and I need these war horses to cooperate." Zhou Shixiong did not consider why Man Gui changed his face, and turned to Sun Zushou and said, "Sun Zhaolian, try to build a roadblock around noon, so that the cavalry can pull to the Nanying Gate and trap Jiannu to death. The two generals should also return to the army. Do not underestimate the enemy's carelessness. If I break my plan, don't blame me for being ruthless." The third general hurriedly bowed to receive the order and rushed out of the city to execute the order.

Zhou Shixiong drove the third general away and went to the military camp for experiments. He wanted to use his mutated horse taming technique to deceive Jiannu's war horses. Zhou Shixiong was a professional animal trainer. He understood that there were differences in the difficulty of domestication between adult horses and foals, and there were differences between ordinary horses and military horses. Therefore, he had to go through experiments and verifications to determine whether his ideas were feasible.

When he arrived at the military camp, Zhou Shixiong asked the groom who was guarding the war horse to leave and walked alone to the horse circle to try the possibility of quickly taming the horse. As he made a sound of simulated horse neighing, he quickly gained the recognition of the horse herd, treating him as a disabled horse with two legs. Zhou Shixiong opened the fence of the horse circle and pulled a horse out. The other war horses quietly ate grass and rested, without responding to his actions.

After pulling out more than ten horses in a row, Zhou Shixiong confirmed that his thoughts were a bit stink. Jiannu was at least one person and two horses. Even if he fought this time, Jiannu had at least more than three thousand horses, and he couldn't finish pulling out one by one for a day. Jiannu was not a fool, how could he give himself so much time? He drove the pulled horse back to the horse circle, and Zhou Shixiong returned to the yamen dejectedly, thinking about how to torture Jiannu tonight and venting his dissatisfaction.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Zushou finally completed the task of destroying the official road and built three roadblocks between the official road and the woods. Even if the 4,000 Jiannu soldiers broke through at the same time, he would not be able to break through his defense zone. Manguertai received a report and climbed the post to take a look, and returned to the tent silently. It seemed that people had to be sent to the Tongzhou camp for help. In order to save his life, Manguertai no longer considered face issues. His famous men found more than a dozen flag directors who were good at ducking water, braved the cold temperature and swam across the other side, and walked to Tongzhou for help.

It’s not that Mangourtai is stingy and does not give the flag horse to the flag horse, but that the war horse refuses to go into the water. If he forcefully pulls into the water, he will also cause cramps due to temperature problems. He either is washed away by the water or drowned in the river, so Mangourtai has no choice.

In the afternoon, Zhou Shixiong sent someone to recall the cavalry back to the city. He only realized at the reminder of the county magistrate that there was a narrow passage in the west city. If Jiannu dared to break through here, he would be a dead end. Since there was a natural and geographical advantage, there was no need for the cavalry to stay outside, so it would be better to go back to the city to rest. As for the official road in the west city, of course, it would be blocked with wood and stone, and just send a few step archers to watch.

As soon as Heiyunlong returned to the city, he asked Zhou Shixiong the results of the experiment. Zhou Shixiong told it was not feasible. Heiyunlong kept asking what experiment. He was entangled by Heiyunlong, so Zhou Shixiong followed him to the military camp to demonstrate. Man Gui and Heiyunlong were amazed at Zhou Shixiong's horse taming skills, "Master Zhou is more capable of taming horses than us men. I wonder if I, the king of horses, can be tamed?" Heiyunlong pointed to his beloved horse and asked.

"The Horse King? There is also a Horse King in the Army!" Zhou Shixiong asked strangely.

"Master Zhou's horse training is so exquisite, how could he not know about this?" It was Man Gui and Heiyunlong's turn to be strange. As long as they were group animals, they would have a leader. This is common sense. In the past when Zhou Shixiong lived in his previous life, there was only a herd of horses on the grassland. It was reasonable to not know that this common sense.

"Don't joke with me, the two generals. I grew up in Guangxi and have seen no more than two hundred horses. I wonder if it's strange!" Zhou Shixiong was a little embarrassed and said in anger.

Zhou Shixiong has been showing a strong attitude these days. Now this reaction made Man Gui and Heiyunlong realize that Zhou Shixiong was just a young man in his twenties. The two looked at each other and changed the topic quickly, but they felt a sense of closeness to Zhou Shixiong. "Master Zhou tried to tame this black horse, don't let Lao Hei tame the horse king every day." Without Man Gui's provocation, Zhou Shixiong also wanted to try it out to see what is the difference between taming a horse king.

There was almost no difference in the steps. First, communicate in animal language to make the Wuma believe that Zhou Shixiong is his own person, then exchange breaths with each other, so that the Wuma remembers the taste of Zhou Shixiong. Finally, it was abducting, and introducing delicious food and beautiful mares was the basic routine. The first two steps were completed smoothly, and Zhou Shixiong just shouted twice and walked to Wuma. Man Gui and Heiyunlong looked disbelief. They didn't doubt that Zhou Shixiong could tame the Wuma, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.

Zhou Shixiong proposed to bring the black horse to eat delicious food. The black horse arched the manger in front of him, questioning what else is better than such high-end concentrated feed! Zhou Shixiong sighed in his heart that he is worthy of being the king of horses, and he will not show off his eagle without seeing a rabbit!

Zhou Shixiong knew that horses like to eat carrots, but where to find them when they were frozen? After looking at the intact reproductive system of the black horse, Zhou Shixiong changed to a mare to lure the black horse. Unexpectedly, the black horse shouted, and more than a dozen young mares surrounded him and showed his figure and voice to the black horse. Now Zhou Shixiong is angry, and you Mongolian horses dare to pretend to be beautiful women, and they all die!

Zhou Shixiong asked someone to take him over, and he lit up his body through the horse circle. The black horse immediately became turbulent. He rushed to the fence to show his attentiveness to Zhou Shixiong's BMW. The black horse was considered tall and mighty among a group of Mongolian horses, but compared with the evolved mutant horses, it can only be considered ordinary. How could it attract a BMW that is used to seeing handsome men? The result was that the black horse broke up in love.

Zhou Shixiong doesn’t care whether you are heartbroken or not, open the fence and put the black horse out, and let his BMW take the black horse circle. Unexpectedly, when the black horse ran away, the other military horses followed him, and all rushed out of the horse circle at once. Zhou Shixiong’s eyes lit up, there was a chance!
