Chapter 361 Flanking Attack
"If we had known this path earlier, we wouldn't have wasted so much time here."
"Unfortunately, there are no 'ifs.' Back then, we wore ourselves down bit by bit. Now that we finally have a way out, shouldn't we cherish it?"
Thinking of the mission they were currently shouldering, their target was directly locked in front. No matter what, as long as they could successfully bypass this checkpoint, they would definitely break through Shimen Pass.
As they galloped forward, they didn't notice that several pairs of eyes had quietly spotted them.
After realizing that the Xiongnu had actually circled around from behind, the previously smiling people instantly realized the problem. Without saying a word, they all quickly left the area. After all, if they really were to get stuck here, it would definitely be a huge problem.
Soon, the news that the Xiongnu had circled around to attack from behind reached Jiang Chen's ears. After learning of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Looking at the Xiongnu who were stationed in front, Jiang Chen remained unmoved, silently remembering all of this in his heart.
But while Jiang Chen could sit still, others beside him couldn't bear it any longer.
"You guys are really treacherous! You agreed to negotiate here, so why are you sending people to sneak attack from the rear!"
Hearing someone on the city wall mocking them wildly, Bao Qimeng couldn't help but frown. However, the people who had come with him all burst out laughing.
"I never thought that in the end, we would be the ones to save you useless fellows."
"Now I want to see what you have to say. Even if you try your best, you will never be able to make any breakthroughs."
"This world should have belonged to us. Jiang Chen is just a despicable thief."
As soon as he finished speaking, their eyes locked on Bao Qimeng. For them, if they could get rid of Bao Qimeng now, then everything would still be in time.
But just as they were about to attack Bao Qimeng, some people quietly emerged from behind and knocked them all to the ground.
"Your Majesty, we have made some mistakes here, and we hope you will forgive us. If possible, please allow us to help you defend against the impact caused by these guys' presumptuous actions."
Hearing such a request, Jiang Chen remained unmoved.
If he really opened the gate at this moment, who knows what kind of trouble these guys would cause.
After all, Jiang Chen had never had any trust in these nomadic peoples.
Seeing that Jiang Chen had not shown any intention of opening the gate for a long time, Bao Qimeng's heart suddenly sank.
He understood that he was afraid that these things that had just happened had created some estrangement between them. Thinking of this, Bao Qimeng felt angry. He had spent a lot of effort to barely reach a cooperation with Jiang Chen, but now, because of the short-sightedness of his subordinates, he had almost caused such a big trouble. While Bao Qimeng was painstakingly trying to figure out how to gain Jiang Chen's understanding, Jiang Chen was still adjusting his team, his eyes fixed on the Xiongnu outside the city.
Perhaps because the path pointed out by Jiang Zuo Wang earlier was too narrow, most of the Xiongnu who actually appeared here this time only carried the most basic weapons.
In this situation, even if they tried their best to take this opportunity to break into the city, it would only be their wishful thinking.
"Brothers, it's time to avenge ourselves! These guys haven't brought any decent weapons with them, we can completely take advantage of this opportunity openly."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, many people couldn't help but widen their eyes, but soon their eyes were completely submerged in hatred.
Their previous frustrating battles were still stuck in their throats. Now that they finally had the opportunity to directly retaliate, naturally no one would be willing to let go of such a great opportunity.
Watching the Xiongnu getting closer and closer to them, they didn't even think about it and all acted.
The overwhelming rain of arrows completely covered every corner where they were in a very short period of time. Seeing such a terrifying attack from inside the city, the faces of those Xiongnu who had just thought that they had a sure chance of winning this time all changed. At this moment, they realized how foolish their previous idea of easily defeating these people was.
Perhaps realizing that they were already facing failure, the remaining Xiongnu did not hesitate and turned their heads to quickly counterattack. But just when he thought he could succeed, a batch of cavalry that had been prepared for a long time quietly rushed out from behind them.
Seeing these people, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile. As things stand, all the troubles they had faced before had disappeared. And those guys who had been watching from behind finally showed their faces at this moment, which was tantamount to humiliating Jiang Chen's view of these things.
However, with the addition of these people, the previously somewhat stalemate battle was no longer unexpected.
These Xiongnu, who had gone through untold hardships to detour, didn't even have time to do anything before they all returned to the heavens. Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen sighed inexplicably. This war was really a bit too bizarre.
When the gate of Jiang Chen's side slowly opened, Bao Qimeng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He had already guessed what might have happened in front.
"I'm really sorry, the people you sent to circle around have all been killed. If you have any other ideas, why don't we talk somewhere else?"
Seeing the direction pointed by Jiang Chen's hand, many Xiongnu became angry from embarrassment. Where did they not understand what Jiang Chen meant? But just as they were about to scold Jiang Chen, their hands were pressed down.
"It's all said and done, if we don't go over, it might seem like we're deviating from our previous willingness to cooperate."
"I believe you will definitely not let your subordinates hurt us, right?"
Speaking of this, Bao Qimeng stared straight at Jiang Chen, seemingly waiting for Jiang Chen's reply.
The many Xiongnu officials behind him were all dumbfounded now. None of them had thought that Bao Qimeng would make such a choice at this moment. If Bao Qimeng really chose to rely on Jiang Chen, then wouldn't they have to re-enact the things of that year?
