"Your Highness."
Chu Chi turned his head when he heard the voice and saw that Wuqi had already arrived in front of him. Unlike the other bloody warriors, the armor on this guy's body was clean.
However, this was not a big deal. Chu Chi nodded and asked,"How is the damage?"
Wuqi replied,"Thousands of soldiers died and hundreds were injured.”
"Yes, do a good job in the follow-up compensation. Don't let the soldiers feel disappointed.”Chu Chi said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness," Wuqi said.
Chu Chi wasn't worried about this. Wuqi had always been clear about rewards and punishments when it came to managing the army, so he was completely capable of handling this matter.
Wuqi looked at Chu Chi and cupped his fists.”
Chu Chi was silent for a moment. He looked at the night sky in the distance and said lightly,""You lead the soldiers back first, I'll take a look around.”
When Wuqi heard that, his expression instantly changed, and he immediately said,"Your Highness, you have a body of a thousand gold. You can't stand under a dangerous wall. I hope Your Highness will think twice.”
Chu Chi turned his head and looked at Wuqi, saying,""What use is it for my thousands of cavalry to return? They couldn't possibly let the cavalry guard the city, right? If they were outside, they might be able to act according to the situation.”
Wuqi said,"Even so, you can just send a general to lead. There's no need to go into battle personally." Your Highness, you are a king, not a general."
Wuqi lowered his voice slightly, but his expression was quite solemn.
In Wuqi's opinion, kings had their own positions and generals had their own roles. It was impossible for a king not to be like a king and a general not to be like a general. This would only lead to chaos.
Chu Chi smiled when he heard this. He knew that Wuqi was worried about him, and he also knew that Wuqi was right. However, he did not have a good cavalry commander under him.
Most importantly, the enemy was strong and he was weak in this battle. If he did not personally lead the troops, he would not feel at ease.
Moreover, many founding emperors in history had once ridden horses and fought bloody battles on the battlefield. It was not like they could not do it here, right?
Even if he wanted to guard the rear, it was not now. In the future, when he had more troops and generals, he would naturally not run out to snatch credit from his subordinates.
Wuqi tried to dissuade him again and again, but Chu Chi had already made up his mind. In the end, Wuqi could only leave with his soldiers in worry.
The bright moon was like a hook, and the autumn wind was bleak.
Chu Chi had his men burn the bodies of the Donghu soldiers. After all, this place was close to Wu Pass, so it was better to dispose of the bodies.
These things were done by the soldiers before they left. The cavalrymen didn't care about these things. After all, they had always been in charge of killing and not burying.
Looking at the blood-red flames and smelling the burnt meat fragrance in the air, Chu Chi seemed to have thought of something. He reached out and took out a roll of silk cloth from his bosom.
This was given to him by Xun Yu before he set off. At that time, Xun Yu had also tried to dissuade him, but unfortunately, in the end, just like Wuqi, he could not stop him at all.
After opening the silk cloth and carefully reading its contents, Chu Chi's eyes flashed with surprise.
"This Wen Ruo. He said he didn't have a plan."
After memorizing the contents on the silk cloth, Chu Chi immediately gathered the remaining thousands of cavalry. After resting for a while, he took advantage of the darkness to head north.
........
Donghu Camp.
It was already late at night. Other than the sound of the wind, there was nothing else to be heard on the grassland.
The Donghu soldiers guarding the main gate were also a little sleepy. They could only force themselves to stay awake and stare ahead.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared. Its speed was quite fast, and it was about to reach the distance of two hundred steps.
Just as the guard was about to shout, an arrow suddenly shot over and pierced through his throat.
"Enemy attack!"
Just as one of the Donghu soldiers shouted, an arrow was fired.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows flew like rain, and a scream instantly sounded from the main gate.
Chu Chi led the black cavalry and charged straight into the main gate. They started the horse stampede and lit fires everywhere. They did not get entangled with the Donghu soldiers.
In less than ten minutes, Chu Chi led the Black Knights to retreat quickly before the Donghu soldiers could organize a counterattack. Before he left, he even knocked down the main gate with his halberd and left with his whip.
The Donghu cavalrymen who were about to give chase were stopped by the fallen gate and could only watch as Chu Chi and the others left.
"Bastard! Where did this cavalry come from?”
No one was destined to answer this question. At this moment, many of them had just woken up from their sleep and rushed out with their scimitars. Some of them were not even dressed properly.
The Donghu cavalrymen cursed as they began to clean up the chaos at the main gate and put out the fire.
But just as the Donghu soldiers were engrossed in their work, the black cavalry led by Chu Chi charged out again, scaring the Donghu soldiers into scrambling to find their warhorses.
Who knew that Chu Chi would lead the black cavalry and shoot a round of arrows into the camp from outside the main gate. After killing and injuring dozens of unlucky people, they turned around and left.
When the Donghu soldiers who had just climbed onto their horses saw this, they were furious. Curses could be heard everywhere.
In order to prevent another ambush, a Donghu general ordered a group of cavalry to stand by. If the Black Knights appeared again, they would immediately bite them.
Who knew that this time, after waiting for half the night, the sky was almost bright, but the Black Knights still did not appear.
When the Donghu general saw this, he let the exhausted cavalry go back to rest. After all, it was almost dawn, and no one would come to harass them.
Just as the Donghu soldiers were lying down in the yurts one after another, not long after they fell asleep, shouts and the sound of iron hooves rang out in the camp again.
It turned out that Chu Chi had brought the Black Knights who had rested for most of the night and charged in once again. They were spurring their horses around to light fires.
They didn't go too deep. They just moved a little closer to the outside and then immediately left.
The Donghu soldiers in the camp were about to go crazy. With bloodshot eyes, they rushed out of the yurts with sabers in their hands.
However, when they came out, they only saw the horse's buttocks gradually disappearing in the light of the morning.
