Chapter 240: The Crown Prince Fights Adunla
Wei Xikang did not let them hide their tracks; after all, this was the mobilization of more than 30,000 people, and it couldn't be hidden at all.
It was better to gallop away and catch the other party off guard.
Just at the moment the Zhenbei Army's war drums sounded, Adunla, who was drinking in the main camp, laughed uncontrollably: "They really dare to come out? I was originally thinking of leaving a hand as a superfluous move, but it seems I bumped into it!"
The tribal leaders in other large tents also appeared one after another, beginning to put on armor, without any sign of panic.
Since they dared to set up camp here and hold banquets every day, how could they not leave some precautions?!
Adunla had long ago ordered that his tribal troops be divided into three teams: one to ambush, one to patrol and defend, and the last to revel.
The three teams took turns, and everyone didn't miss out!
It was just that he didn't expect that in just a few days, these two-legged sheep would be unable to hold back and want to sneak an attack at night.
"The two-legged sheep have taken the initiative to deliver themselves to the door! Everyone fight for me!" Adunla shouted, his eyes becoming more and more unscrupulous.
This northern frontier had no second Prince of Zhenbei and had already become his pocket item!
Wei Xikang pressed the long sword at his waist and kept running toward the Xiongnu main camp, his palms full of cold sweat. In fact, he had no plan in his heart, only hoping that this surprise attack could have a miraculous effect.
Suddenly, the deafening war drums and horn sounds of the Xiongnu came from the Xiongnu main camp!
Accompanied by the roars of the Xiongnu, full of the desire for slaughter!
At the same time, countless torches lit up in all directions of the Xiongnu main camp, illuminating the surroundings of the camp as bright as day!
This appearance... there was no sign of being unprepared at all!
It could even be said that the Xiongnu were strictly waiting, waiting for the Zhenbei Army to come!
"It's broken! The Xiongnu were prepared!" The Vice General's face turned pale instantly; the thing he worried about most had happened.
But things had come to this, there was only one battle! Once the bow was drawn, there was no turning back!
"Quick! Beat the drums! Charge!"
The Vice General ordered hoarsely, trying to fight the Xiongnu to the death.
Charging at the front was the cavalry, followed by infantry with shields and archers, as well as spearmen weaving behind the shields.
Adunla vaulted onto his horse, raised his round blade, and shouted: "Sons of the grassland! Vanguards, charge for me, the rest of you, harass from the periphery and look for opportunities!"
Neither side yielded, and the torrents on both sides collided straight like this, erupting into an unprecedented battle.
"Archers! Shoot arrows!" The Vice General seized the opportunity to order, attempting to suppress the firepower at the moment the two sides first made contact.
A rain of arrows filled the sky, shooting toward the Xiongnu's vanguard cavalry!
And the Xiongnu didn't suffer any losses either; many cavalry circled to one side to roam and shoot, attempting to disrupt the Zhenbei Army's formation.
Wei Xikang knew that he was not as good as the Vice General in arranging troops and formations, so he didn't speak, just kept staring at the generals in the crowd.
He was looking for Adunla's figure!
If he could behead the enemy general in this battle, not only could he avenge his Uncle, but he could also boost his own morale and force the Xiongnu main army to retreat.
At this time, Adunla continued to shout loudly: "Right flank, interfere with all your might!"
It was this shout that finally locked Wei Xikang onto his figure.
"Dog thief! Die for me!" Wei Xikang clamped his horse's back, drew his long sword, and headed toward Adunla.
"Your Highness, you cannot!" The Vice General had been accompanying him, and seeing this situation, he broke into a cold sweat.
He knew Adunla's strength very well; His Highness the Crown Prince was definitely not Adunla's opponent!
But the battlefield was too noisy, and coupled with Wei Xikang's single-mindedness to fight Adunla, he didn't hear what the Vice General said.
Seeing this, the Vice General gritted his teeth and followed, and the personal guards beside him also followed Wei Xikang toward Adunla.
This scene fell into the eyes of the Zhenbei Army, but it greatly boosted morale; he didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to be so brave.
Since that was the case, they couldn't fall behind either!
For a time, the Zhenbei Army erupted with tenacious resistance, but their eyes were all focused on Wei Xikang.
If His Highness the Crown Prince could really behead the other party! Wouldn't there be hope for this battle?
Wei Xikang was very brave. On the way, he encountered two Xiongnu cavalry who wanted to block the way, but they were all blocked by the Vice General's personal guards, allowing him to gallop toward Adunla unimpeded.
Adunla also noticed Wei Xikang at this time. Seeing that there were many people following behind him, he thought this was the new main general of the other party.
"Try your strength, how does it compare to the Prince of Zhenbei?" Adunla had no fear at all, held his curved blade, and greeted him.
The moment the long sword and the curved blade made contact, a "clang" sound erupted, and sparks flashed.
Both stopped their horses and fought on the horse's back.
Wei Xikang was high in fighting spirit, took the initiative to attack, and the long sword pointed straight at Adunla's heart.
Adunla disdained, picked up the long sword with his curved blade, and slashed toward Wei Xikang's chest.
Wei Xikang could feel the force coming from the hilt, still without any retreat, instead dodged sideways, then held the sword with both hands and collided with Adunla's curved blade.
"What is your name?" Adunla held the curved blade and stalemated with Wei Xikang, but his expression was not nervous, and he even had the leisure to chat with Wei Xikang.
Wei Xikang did not respond to Adunla. He knew the other party was cunning and treacherous, so he only focused on the fight and had no time for anything else.
Getting no response, Adunla was not angry either. He continued to exchange two moves with Wei Xikang and found that the other party's martial force didn't seem strong.
Adunla found two flaws but didn't make a move, afraid that the other party was deliberately hiding his strength, just waiting for him to take the initiative.
Don't look at Adunla's arrogant and conceited appearance; in fact, his mind was not only vicious but also very cautious!
The Zhenbei Army saw that the two were fighting back and forth, and morale rose a little more; everyone was waiting for the result of the two's exchange.
Then they exchanged two more moves, and Adunla was angry because he felt he had been humiliated. Sending such a weak person to fight him, was this looking down on him?
So this time Adunla didn't hold back, seized the moment when Wei Xikang's long sword was lifted, and went straight to Wei Xikang's heart with a diagonal slash.
The next moment, a long spear blocked in front of Wei Xikang; it was the Vice General who had arrived!
Without too many words, the two looked at each other and joined forces to launch an attack on Adunla.
Seeing this, Adunla chose to pull away some distance first, pulled the horse's head, and ran away to one side.
"Thief, don't run, return my Uncle's life!" Wei Xikang raised his sword to pursue again, but this time he was preempted by the Vice General.
"Your Highness! Let me do it!"
The Vice General knew that Wei Xikang was not Adunla's opponent, but the strategy was correct, so as the person with the highest martial force in the Zhenbei Army at this moment, he was duty-bound to take on this burden.
The first thing Adunla did after pulling away was to blow the horn. At this time, behind a slope two miles away, torches suddenly lit up!
"Charge!"
The Xiongnu's ambush troops also revealed their fangs at this moment! ===== CHAPTER 241 =====
