Inside the tent.
Khagan Beggar Tie was listening to the report of what had happened last night. At this moment, the Donghu soldiers had already received the news that the vanguard had been defeated.
After learning that the Northern Liang cavalrymen had attacked the camp last night, the Child Beggar Invitation did not care much.
They had an army of nearly 500,000 soldiers, and the cavalry from last night only had a few thousand men. They could not cause any harm to them at all.
Even if they did this kind of exhausting plan, it would be a waste of effort. After all, the camp was so big. The one that was attacked yesterday was only a camp in the south.
In the face of the huge difference in strength, such a scheme seemed very insignificant.
The Donghu army continued to advance toward Wu Pass.
However, just as Donghu was marching, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared behind them and followed them from afar.
This gave the Donghu soldiers a fright and they hurriedly sent out their cavalry to meet the enemy. In the end, the black cavalry directly slipped away and did not fight with them at all.
After they had not gone far, the Black Knights appeared again. They did not charge, but just watched them from afar.
After being slipped back and forth several times, the Donghu soldiers were furious. They were hot-tempered and direct to begin with, so how could they tolerate such disgusting methods?
After that, the Donghu soldiers had no choice but to ignore the cavalry behind them. There were only a few thousand of them anyway, and the other party would not dare to charge.
However, the Donghu soldiers did not react, but the Black Knights began to approach.
This time, the Donghu soldiers immediately became nervous. The soldiers behind them were on guard against a great enemy, afraid that the cavalry would charge in and kill them.
However, the Black Knights did not charge forward. They just hung far away, just a stone's throw away.
When the Donghu soldiers were not paying attention, the Black Knights would immediately charge forward and shoot arrows, killing a few unlucky people. Then, they would retreat quickly, not giving the Donghu soldiers a chance to shoot back.
People were all afraid of death. The Donghu soldiers behind them felt as if there was a knife on their backs. They had to look back as they walked forward, afraid that an arrow would shoot them to death.
Sometimes, the Black Knights would not always stay behind the Donghu Army. They would occasionally slip to the flanks and run away immediately after being frightened, not giving the Donghu Iron Cavalry any chance to catch up.
In the end, the Donghu army was annoyed beyond words. The Child Beggar Invitation ordered three cavalry units to cover the surroundings of the army, intending to use cavalry to fight cavalry.
Needless to say, this way, the Black Knights really wouldn't be able to find any opportunities.
This was because as long as the Black Knights appeared, the Donghu Iron Cavalry would charge forward, not giving them any chance to approach the army.
Seeing that there was no way to continue harassing the Donghu army, the Black Knights did not continue to bite. Instead, they turned around and ran.
At night, in order to prevent the Black Knights from continuing to harass them, the Child Beggar Invitation took turns to set up an ambush outside the camp.
If the Black Knights really dared to come again, they would definitely be eaten by the Donghu Iron Cavalry.
However, in the second half of the night, the Black Knights of the Northern Liang did not appear. Instead, the grass outside the Donghu camp was on fire.
It was already autumn, and the grass had dried up. Even a little flame could quickly burn.
Tonight, Chu Chi knew that the Donghu army would definitely be on guard, so he did not lead the Black Knights to barge into the camp. Instead, he ran to the direction of the wind and lit a circle of fire.
The wind blew, and the fire burned brighter and brighter. It was also burning toward the Donghu camp at an extremely fast speed.
"Fire! Fire!"
The Donghu soldiers who were lying in ambush outside immediately shouted and ran. Some of them wanted to put out the fire, but the fire had already started. It was impossible to put it out with this amount of manpower.
Soon, the fire spread to the camp. Everyone was awakened, and the camp was in chaos.
When Chu Chi saw this, he led the Black Knights to follow behind the fire and attacked the Donghu camp. When they reached the outskirts, they started to fire rockets into the Donghu camp.
As the fire burned deeper, Chu Chi led the cavalry further in, constantly firing fire arrows.
When it was almost time, Chu Chi led the Black Knights and disappeared into the night like a gust of wind, like a ghost from the Nine Serenities.
The Donghu soldiers spent most of the night putting out the fire on the grassland and in the camp.
At this moment, the sky was faintly lit up. The Child Beggar Invitation knew about the situation last night, so it delayed the departure of the army, intending to let the soldiers have a good rest first.
After daybreak, the Donghu army waited until it was almost noon before they set off.
However, on this day, the Black Knights did not appear again. It seemed that they knew that the harassment was useless and did not come again.
In the evening, the Donghu army finally reached the vicinity of the Ur River.
The Child Beggar Invitation ordered the army to station along the Ur River, and then ordered the soldiers to clear the grass outside the camp to prevent it from being burned again tonight.
As night fell, the Donghu soldiers ate dinner and prepared to rest.
The Child Beggar Invitation and the other leaders were also preparing to sleep, but before they could even warm up, they heard a report from the soldiers outside that there were signs of diarrhea and poisoning in the camp.
The Child Beggar Invitation was shocked when he heard this. He immediately put on his clothes and got up. He also sent someone to investigate the cause of the poisoning.
After struggling for nearly two hours, he finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that in the upper reaches of the Ur River, thousands of corpses were found submerged in the water with stones. Judging from their clothes, they should be people from the nearby tribes.
Today, the soldiers in the camp had drunk the river water that had been soaked in zombies, which led to such a situation.
