Chapter 431 Ambush]
Suddenly, a large net dropped from the sky! Seven or eight masked men in black firmly grasped the edges of the net, attempting to trap Xiao Yunshuo inside!
There were also a dozen masked men in black holding weapons such as swords, rushing towards him with ferocious looks.
A cold light flashed in Zhao Ye's eyes, and he continued, "...His Excellency the Crown Prince's head!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Yunshuo couldn't help but sneer slightly at the corner of his lips.
You think you can kill him with this kind of trap? You really underestimate him!
The net was made of horsehair and cowhide wrapped with iron wire, making it incredibly sturdy. Xiao Yunshuo knew that ordinary swords and knives would be unable to cut it, so he decisively and swiftly attacked one of the men in black who was setting up the net.
Before the big net fell and entangled him, the man in black screamed "Ah" and was killed, and a gap appeared in the net.
But then the men in black holding swords swung their swords, and further behind, there were archers shooting arrows, and arrows rained down!
Xiao Yunshuo fought off several people and grabbed another person as a shield. The man was immediately pierced by arrows and turned into a hedgehog.
At this time, Zhao Ye retreated outside the stone formation.
He looked at the sky, and a gleam of victory flashed in his eyes.
Regardless of whether this trap can kill Xiao Yunshuo, as long as he is trapped here for an hour or so, a lot of time can be gained, which is enough for the Beirong army to launch a surprise attack on Dayu’s camp.
Without the presence of the "God of War"-like Prince Dayu, the Beirong's surprise attack has a great chance of success.
Yanmen Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it may not be possible to take it for the time being, but it should still be possible to take back Huaining and Shuozhou, two cities of great strategic significance to Beirong!
By then, if Xiao Yunshuo could be killed, it would naturally be the best outcome. His father, the Khan, had already reached an agreement with the Second Prince Dayu. When Dayu "lost" Yanmen Pass, the Northern Rong would pretend to be defeated by the Second Prince and eventually reach a peace agreement with Dayu.
As long as Yanmen Pass is controlled by the Northern Rong, even if they do not march straight in and replace Emperor Dayu this time, they can still launch an attack at any time in the future. Dayu will be like a turtle in a jar and can be destroyed at any time.
Even if Xiao Yunshuo didn't die... for a woman, he abandoned Dayu's 100,000-strong army, took the risk alone, and was trapped here. He couldn't deploy in time to resist the surprise attack of Beirong, and he would lose the trust of Dayu's army, which would naturally affect Dayu's morale.
All of these are beneficial to Beirong and have no harm!
Xiao Yunshuo glanced at Zhao Ye who was about to leave, killed two more people, and rushed towards Zhao Ye quickly.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. As long as we catch Zhao Ye, there is no need to worry about these people not calling out Chen Fenghe!
At this moment, a suppressed female scream suddenly came from the opposite direction of Zhao Ye!
"Damn it!" Xiao Yunshuo cursed in a low voice and had to turn around and walk towards the direction of the sound.
Behind the stone, two men in black were waving their knives to kill the woman who looked exactly like Xiao Yunshuo!
Xiao Yunshuo quickly killed the two men, looked at the woman, and called out anxiously, "Feng He!"
While pretending to approach the woman.
The woman looked at him pitifully, and suddenly, a smile of success flashed in her eyes, and the dagger in her hand suddenly stabbed towards Xiao Yunshuo!
Xiao Yunshuo's expression was cold, but he didn't seem surprised at all. He moved as fast as lightning, grabbing the woman's face, and then stabbed her with the sword in his hand without mercy.
