This is the moment Huangfuyan has been waiting for.
Huangfu Yan is not a person who overestimates his capabilities. To be honest, if the 40,000 troops he leads face the 40,000 troops led by Agula, the chances of winning in a head-to-head confrontation are not great.
Huangfu Yan thought about it for several days. Due to the terrain, it was impossible to make a sneak attack. Although he dispersed the opponent's forces in several ways, it was only a matter of time to win. But how to minimize the losses?
There is only one way, which is to demoralize the Northern Mongolian army.
There is a saying that to capture the thief first capture the king.
As long as Huangfuyan captures Agula, Northern Mongolia will instantly be leaderless. If the third prince abandons Fencheng and rushes to take charge of the overall situation, it will take some time. During this period, even if he has 40,000 soldiers and horses, he can't help it.
If you can get an advantage in the battle with Beimeng, it will be enough to hold the opponent back steadily and prevent them from losing.
This is almost like gambling. Huangfuyan is betting that Agula doesn't know his true strength.
Not many people in the Imperial Kingdom know about Huangfu Yan's martial arts skills, let alone people from Northern Mongolia. In addition, the rumors about Huangfu Yan's physical weakness have long been known to the world, so the other party will definitely relax their vigilance in front of him.
.In the last plan to lure the enemy, although Huangfu Yan came to the battlefield in person, he did not take action, so no one knew his details. Most of the soldiers in Beiguan who had witnessed the Battle of Echo Valley with their own eyes would understand it directly.
They thought Huangfuyan was extremely smart and ruthless, but they didn't know he had martial arts.
The people who knew that Huangfuyan's martial arts were not low were those generals in Beiguan who had witnessed Huangfuyan's murder. But as a general in Beiguan, how could he leak such important information? They had all seen Huangfuyan's methods.
people, do they not want their lives?
Therefore, Huangfu Yan's bet was that Agula didn't know his true identity.
In this case, Agula personally went into battle, and the desire to capture him alive would prompt him to rush towards Huangfuyan crazily. Then, Huangfuyan's opportunity came.
When Agula rushed forward, Huangfuyan suddenly tightened his grip on the horse's belly, accelerated his speed, and charged forward.
Huangfu Yan's speed was as fast as a fleeting shadow, which almost dazzled everyone who saw it. It was also at night, and although the torch illuminated the entire battlefield, it was still easy to ignore it if you didn't identify it carefully.
The few Northern Mongolian warriors who followed Agula forward felt a gust of cold wind rushing towards their faces, and then they all fell from their horses with a muffled groan.
Huangfuyan swung his long whip and hit Agula directly on the opposite side.
He didn't intend to kill Agula directly, so before setting off, he specifically chose a whip as a weapon.
The whip is light and the strength can be controlled well, and its explosive power will far exceed that of other cold weapons.
Agula had also practiced. Huangfuyan's whip was very dangerous, but he still narrowly avoided it. The scimitar in his hand quickly slashed towards Huangfuyan's whip, but he didn't see Huangfuyan's wrist.
Turning around, the long whip that was clearly within his best attack range suddenly changed direction and wrapped around his scimitar, as if it was alive.
He was just surprised when the scimitar was already swept away by the long whip.
Only then did Agula realize that something was wrong. It seemed that they had underestimated the weak and sick crown prince of the empire.
