Chapter 355 The Xiongnu Attack

At this moment, Jiang Zuo Prince was determined to eliminate Jiang Chen and take his position.

The thought of being used as a puppet by the Xiongnu made him extremely uncomfortable.

"It's all your fault for not leaving me any leeway back then. Now, don't blame me for being unjust."

Remembering how he had lost face in the imperial court, Jiang Zuo Prince's anger surged, and he blamed everything on Jiang Chen.

The strategy of harassing with night raids was exactly what he had arranged.

However, he didn't expect the Xiongnu to play out of the ordinary, actually pulling a feint, which puzzled him for a moment.

Seeing Jiang Zuo Prince's confused face, Prince Zhennan and Prince Zhenbei couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems you still don't understand our intentions. Now, Jiang Chen's men must already be exhausted. We just need to drag it out a little longer, and they will naturally collapse. Why would we send our brothers to die?"

As they said this, a smug look appeared on their faces. If Jiang Zuo Prince hadn't opened the door for them, they would never have thought of such a strategy.

Watching them, like old foxes, Jiang Zuo Prince felt a little regretful, but now he had no way out. After all, the current situation had completely become his burial ground. If he didn't advance and retreat together with these Xiongnu, he was afraid he would be discredited and have no hope of making a comeback.

"I think Jiang Chen seems to have found a way to deal with you. Do you really think you can continue to be arrogant in front of Jiang Chen?"

Hearing this question, they all burst out laughing.

"Our biggest trump card right now is not our cavalry, but you. I don't believe he really has the heart to kill you. If we really can't gain any advantage, we'll just send you forward. Wouldn't you become our biggest trump card?"

Realizing what these two were planning, Jiang Zuo Prince looked horrified, but before he could do anything, he was restrained.

"As our trump card, you should stay here obediently. We're not at ease when you're always going out."

After saying that, they directly imprisoned Jiang Zuo Prince. Seeing the Xiongnu outside mocking him, Jiang Zuo Prince was filled with resentment. He was clearly a prince, but now he had been reduced to a prisoner. When these Xiongnu defeated Jiang Chen and he successfully ascended to the throne, he would make these people understand how red the flowers were.

While he was still fantasizing about these things, the news of Jiang Zuo Prince leaving Shimen Pass had already reached Jiang Chen. After all, although there were basically no garrisons in Shimen Pass now, those lurking inside still had a grasp of everything that was happening.

Hearing that the biggest hidden danger had been eliminated, Jiang Chen finally grinned. The reason why he had been constantly deadlocked here these days was to get the two Xiongnu leaders to transfer Jiang Zuo Prince away. Only when he left Shimen Pass could the subsequent plans be carried out as usual.

"Tell the brothers on night watch to pay more attention to concealment and pretend to be very tired. The big fish is about to take the bait."

Thinking that he would be able to wipe out more than half of the Xiongnu's forces in one fell swoop, a smile finally appeared on Jiang Chen's face. At this rate, these Xiongnu would probably not be able to jump around for many days.

Sure enough, just after nightfall, the Xiongnu's light cavalry, who came out to probe, appeared again, but this time they no longer had the dark clouds in the sky as cover.

After discovering that there were only a few people, the sentry still sounded the war drum as before, but the rhythm of the war drum made everyone feel more at ease.

The soldiers, who were already prepared, created quite a commotion in the camp. Before long, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from the camp.

Soon, this news was sent to Prince Zhennan and Prince Zhenbei. Hearing that Jiang Chen's camp was already in turmoil,

The two of them didn't say a word and directly mustered almost all of their troops, rushing out in one go.

"This time, I'll see how that emperor runs."

After they led their cavalry swarming through Shimen Pass, they didn't notice that under the ruins of Shimen Pass that hadn't been cleared, people vaguely began to crawl out.

When the last cavalry soldier rushed through Shimen Pass, a bonfire suddenly lit up on the city tower of Shimen Pass.

Seeing the bonfire suddenly burning in the rear, the two of them knew that they had been tricked. Realizing that something was wrong, they wanted to turn around and retreat quickly. However, once the speed of the Great Xia cavalry reached full charge, it was not easy to change direction.

Before they could make any changes, the cavalry in the rear had already crashed into them, and could only be forced to continue charging forward.

"You guys stop for me! We're about to be surrounded!"

Hearing such loud shouts, the cavalry behind still didn't realize what had happened.

Soon, under such pushing from behind, they all entered the layers of traps that Jiang Chen had already set up. For a time, all those at the forefront were thrown off their feet.

Realizing that there was no way out, the two of them locked their eyes on the camp ahead.

As long as they broke through Jiang Chen's defense, they would still have room to maneuver. But as they got closer and closer, they suddenly realized that the camp was already surrounded by people, waiting in formation.

"What the hell is going on here? Didn't you say they were already in turmoil?"

After seeing the situation inside clearly, the two of them were filled with panic. They had come out with almost all of their forces this time. If they were really surrounded by Jiang Chen, then they would no longer have any strength to make a comeback, and even their princely positions would probably be quickly taken away.

But in the current situation, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to charge forward.

"Have you been well, you two? It took me so much effort to get you out of your old tortoise shells. It's really a bit tiring for me."

"Since that's the case, I'll have to accept these cavalry that you've sent."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless archers behind Jiang Chen stepped forward at the same time, and the dense rain of arrows completely covered these guys.
