Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 256 The real purpose

[Chu Shizhao and Huo Qinghuang led the Ice Wolf Cavalry to raid the Beidi camp at night.
[Some parts of the Beidi army were in chaos, and other Beidi cavalry quickly surrounded Chu Shizhao and the Ice Wolf Cavalry.]

[In the army, the Ice Wolf Riders and Huo Qinghuang fought hard, and broke through the encirclement at the cost of all the Wolf Riders, including Huo Qinghuang, being killed in battle.]

[The Northern Di cavalry took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and Xueyuan Pass fell. Chu Shizhao, who had just escaped, died in the battle at Xueyuan Pass.]

The results of this deduction were beyond Chu Shizhao's expectations in every way.

He originally thought that this might be a conspiracy of the Northern Di cavalry.

The fundamental purpose of deliberately not sending out scouts was to paralyze them.

But he never expected that the opponent's commander was really stupid.

Unfortunately, even so, it did not change the situation of the war.

Although the morale of the Northern Di cavalry was low due to the unsuccessful siege.

However, with the methods used by those guys from the Dark Night Cult, the strength of these Northern Di cavalry was completely beyond Chu Shizhao's expectations.

They were suddenly attacked without any warning, and after only a slight disturbance, they were able to organize a relatively effective defense.

What’s even more terrifying is that under such circumstances, the Northern Di cavalry was able to quickly encircle them.

After trying the [Emperor Growth Plan] several times, Chu Shizhao finally understood the reason.

The most crucial thing is the war horses used by the Northern Di cavalry.

The draft horses they used were not originally suitable for cavalry.

The first is that their bodies are too tall and their backs are too broad, which not only affects the cavalry's mobility but also makes it impossible for them to attack effectively.

Moreover, although draft horses are very strong, they are not suitable for charging or running for long periods of time.

But for these Northern Di cavalry, these shortcomings almost no longer exist.

No one knew what method the Dark Night Cult had used to make these Northern Di cavalrymen grow so tall that even the size of a draft horse was nothing to them.

Since humans can be controlled with drugs, controlling horses should naturally not be a problem.

Although these draft horses are huge, their endurance is also extremely amazing. Even when dragging the tall Northern Di cavalry and their terrifying heavy armor, these draft horses can still run very fast.

According to the simulation, the speed of these draft horses is not much slower than that of the Ice Wolf Riders within a certain period of time.

Often, just one careless move would lead to being surrounded by the Northern Di cavalry.

Once surrounded, the huge numerical advantage of the Northern Di cavalry will be fully revealed.

Even if each Ice Wolf Rider could fight ten at a time, no one could survive two rounds under Huo Qinghuang's spear, and they would be dragged to death by the enemy.

After several more deductions, although the defense of the Northern Di country was particularly lax, Chu Shizhao could always find opportunities to achieve some results.

However, every attack was extremely dangerous, and he needed to be extremely careful to avoid being surrounded by the Northern Di cavalry.

Finally, after countless trials and errors, Chu Shizhao finally got a relatively satisfactory result.

"Huo Qinghuang!" Chu Shizhao's eyes were blazing, and his voice was full of unquestionable tone.

"Please give me your instructions, young master."

"Tell all the Ice Wolf Riders that our mission this time is not to kill as many enemies as possible. Everyone must follow me closely and do not linger in the fight."

After the order was issued, Chu Shizhao jumped on his horse...

Follow behind Huo Qinghuang and let her command the charge of the Ice Wolf Cavalry.

There was no way. Chu Shizhao was not afraid of death and did not dare to lead the charge.

The main reason is that Huo Qinghuang is the commander of the Ice Wolf Cavalry.

Apart from her, no one in this world can unleash the strongest combat power of the Ice Wolf Riders.

In any case, in the simulation, when Chu Shizhao led the Ice Wolf Cavalry to charge, Huo Qinghuang not only had to command the Ice Wolf Cavalry, but also had to be distracted to protect him, which caused the combat effectiveness of the Ice Wolf Cavalry to be directly reduced by a level.

This was not the time to be a hero during a war, so Chu Shizhao simply flew behind Huo Qinghuang to avoid distracting Huo Qinghuang.

"Ice Wolf Riders, follow me to split the sky!" With Huo Qinghuang's roar, the momentum of the entire Ice Wolf Riders changed drastically.

At this moment, they were like a group of wolves hunting, ferocious and efficient.

The Northern Di cavalry, who were cooking, had just heard the roar of the Ice Wolf Cavalry.

They had already rushed into the camp of the Northern Di cavalry.

Perhaps it was because he underestimated the Great Zhou army, or perhaps Murong Ze was too confident in his Northern Di cavalry.

Not only did he not send out scouts, but the camp didn't even have a simple wooden fence.

The Ice Wolf Riders were like a group of real hungry wolves, rushing into the flock of sheep without any hindrance.

Because they were preparing to eat, all the Northern Di cavalry gathered in a circle around the campfire.

In the eyes of the Ice Wolf Riders, these people were no different from living targets.

With a charge, a large group of Northern Di cavalry were trampled into meat paste by the Ice Wolf Cavalry.

"Enemy attack! Don't panic, prepare to counter-attack..."

A Northern Di officer was about to mobilize his troops for a counterattack when Chu Shizhao rushed over with his horse.

With the help of the horse's momentum, he didn't even need to use much strength. He just needed to be able to use the saber and aim the blade at the enemy's neck.

When the warhorse rushed past the opponent, the impact force of the horse and the sharp blade easily chopped off the man's head.

Although he succeeded in stopping one person, unfortunately there were quite a few officers in the Beidi army.

Seeing more and more officers standing up, Chu Shizhao hurriedly shouted to Huo Qinghuang who was charging in front: "The enemy is about to recover, retreat quickly."

Huo Qinghuang raised his spear high: "Ice Wolf Riders, follow me and charge."

She was like an extremely sharp blade. Her spear pierced through dozens of Northern Di cavalrymen one after another. She drew an arc in the enemy's formation and led the Ice Wolf Cavalry to charge out from the other side of the formation.

As soon as they left the army formation, Chu Shizhao warned them hastily, "Don't stop, rush out as fast as you can. Other cavalrymen in other places must have surrounded us. We must not fall into their encirclement."

"Understood!" Huo Qinghuang urged the horse to gallop forward.

The other Ice Wolf Riders followed closely behind.

After running more than a hundred steps, Chu Shizhao heard the continuous sound of bowstrings vibrating behind him.

You don't need to ask to know that this is the bow and arrow of the Northern Di cavalry.

Although this thing is very powerful, Chu Shizhao is not too worried.

The Ice Wolf Riders were also quite fast. By the time the arrows arrived, they had already run far away.

Sure enough, it was just as Chu Shizhao expected.

Although the speed of the rain of arrows was very fast, they were all left behind.

Despite this, many Ice Wolf Riders were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

In this situation, once they fell off their horses, they were basically dead. They couldn't stop for one person, and the Beidi cavalry that had already caught up with them would not stop for them.

What awaits them is only the fate of being trampled into meat patties.

At this time, Chu Shizhao could barely see the Northern Di cavalry surrounding him from both sides in the moonlight.

They were moving very fast, raising large clouds of dust.

Fortunately, he and his men saw the opportunity quickly and escaped without any hesitation after achieving some results.

Although the Northern Di cavalry outflanked them in time, their speed was not much faster than theirs.

Finally, before the pursuing Northern Di cavalry on both sides were about to close in, the Ice Wolf Cavalry managed to break out of the encirclement and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Assholes, there were only more than a hundred people, and you just let them run away? You are such a bunch of useless trash!" After Murong Ze knew that he had agreed to be ambushed, he immediately ordered an outflanking attack.

Even though he gave the order so quickly, those southern barbarians who only knew how to launch sneak attacks still managed to escape.

It must be that these guys are too stupid now. The Beidi warriors in the past would never make such a mistake.

"Damned southern barbarians, don't think I don't know your plan. Aren't you trying to prevent our northern barbarian army from getting any rest and thus prevent us from successfully attacking the city tomorrow?"

"Do you really think I don't know how to deal with such a despicable act?"

"Pass my order..."

Although Murong Ze was very confident, he also understood that the soldiers could not rest in peace in such an undefensible place.

As a last resort, he could only send several thousand troops to move back and forth to guard against the Ice Wolf Riders' elusive sneak attacks.

Then he ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and build fences to surround the camp.

Although these fences are not particularly strong, they can temporarily block the attacking troops and prevent them from rushing into the camp immediately.

During this process, Chu Shizhao kept his troops in place, hiding in the darkness and watching the Northern Di cavalry making trouble.

"Young Master, if the enemy army only has a thousand men, they are no match for our Ice Wolf Cavalry."

"We can attack them when they are alone and easily defeat them before the enemy finds out."

Huo Qinghuang stared at a group of Northern Di cavalry that had just galloped past them, and spoke to Chu Shizhao in a low voice.

Chu Shizhao smiled and shook his head: "There is no need for this. The reason we are here is not to kill as many enemy troops as possible."

"The vanguard of the Northern Di Iron Cavalry has at least 30,000 men. Even if we let the Ice Wolf Cavalry kill them all, how many can we kill tonight?"

"Two thousand? Three thousand? Five thousand?"

"Let's not talk about whether we can kill so many enemy troops. Even if we do, it will be nothing to the 100,000 Northern Di cavalry that invaded the Great Zhou."

Seeing the confusion in Huo Qinghuang's eyes, Chu Shizhao continued to explain patiently: "The civilians and wounded soldiers in Xueyuan Pass have not yet been evacuated. If the Northern Di attack the city at night, it will be twice as difficult for us to defend the city."

"So, our real goal is only one, to prevent the Northern Di from attacking the city tonight."

"Now they are spending their energy on building camps and guarding against our sneak attacks. This is the best news for us."

"Since our goal has been achieved, why should we expend extra energy to fight the Northern Di people?"

"Let's wait until they have built the camp."

Huo Qinghuang was stunned when he heard this: "Young Master, didn't you say that our goal has been achieved? Why do we still need to attack?"

"Of course it is to tell the Beidi people that we are still here. They still need to be distracted to guard against our existence." It doesn't matter anyway, Chu Shizhao answered every question.

"Otherwise, if we remain silent, Beidi might think of attacking the city again."

"In short, we have only one idea. We must not really hurt the Northern Di people and let them do something irrational in anger."

"At the same time, we can't really let them have their free time. We have to make them feel the pain so that they won't take us lightly."

As he spoke, Chu Shizhao yawned loudly: "You keep an eye on it for a while, I'll take a nap. If Beidi agrees to build it, tell me."

Chu Shizhao seemed to be taking a nap, but he was actually seizing every opportunity to use the [Emperor Development Plan] to deduce the situation.

Chu Shizhao also tried to launch a sneak attack when the Beidi were building their camp.

Unfortunately, after suffering a loss just now, Murong Ze was on high alert against them.

Not only were there patrolling troops, but scouts were also sent out to roam around and investigate.

Several times, they were discovered by scouts or patrolling troops before they could get close enough to meet the Northern Di.

More than a hundred Ice Wolf Riders were submerged by the raging waves of the Northern Di Iron Cavalry in the blink of an eye, without even a single ripple being created.

Chu Shizhao also followed Huo Qinghuang's suggestion and directly attacked the patrolling Northern Di cavalry.

Just as Huo Qinghuang said, even though the Northern Di Iron Cavalry was so powerful, they were no match for the Ice Wolf Cavalry.

After only one or two charges, a thousand-man Northern Di cavalry suffered heavy losses and were directly defeated.

Afterwards, he helped the Wolf Riders retreat to a safe place before they were surrounded by the enemy.

But they only took advantage of this once.

After suffering this loss, Murong Ze directly sent two teams of one thousand people into a group. At the same time, he expanded the scale of scouts and reduced the number of military patrols to allow other Beidi cavalry to have sufficient rest time.

When there are many people, they can do whatever they want.

Although the strategic goal was achieved, Chu Shizhao was still unwilling to give in.

Did he and the Ice Wolf Riders fight for a whole night just to kill a thousand enemy soldiers?
So, Chu Shizhao tried again and again.

We need to see where to attack so as to deal the greatest blow to the enemy while achieving our strategic goals.

Huang Tian deserves a caring person.

After trying more than a hundred times, Chu Shizhao finally found a perfect entry point.

After he finished the deduction, the Beidi people were still busy building their camp.

It can be seen that the Northern Di cavalry are not good at these things.

It was just a wooden fence, and after struggling for more than an hour, I only managed to fix less than half of it.

"Huo Qinghuang, you should take a rest first to recharge your batteries. We will have a tough battle to fight later."

Huo Qinghuang didn't act too pretentiously. He leaned on his spear, closed his eyes and began to doze off.

Except for the ones on sentry duty, the other Ice Wolf Riders also took this opportunity to rest.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Huo Qinghuang suddenly heard someone calling her name.

"Huo Qinghuang... Huo Qinghuang."

When he opened his eyes, he found it was Chu Shizhao calling him.

"Little Lord!"

Chu Shizhao nodded slightly: "Get ready immediately, and we'll set off."
