Baolai fulfilled his promise, but Ling Chen did not immediately decide to sign this contract, although the other party gave him a lot of information, allowing him to clarify a series of confusions from his previous life to this life, but the two sides had only met once, it was impossible for him to make such an important contract on this, even if this contract was still likely to be torn up in the end.

At noon, a Hun cavalryman ran to his camp and brought an eagle.

"This is my great wizard, a gift for you," he said, and left.

Ling Chen took the eagle and put it on his shoulder, the eagle was gray all over, a pair of eyes were very attentive, the wings were more than a meter wide, the sharp beak and claws showed strength, and there was a ring on one foot, which was engraved with several ancient words, meaning "thousand miles", probably its name.

"This must be a pet used for communication" Ling Chen glanced at the eagle, found a bamboo slip, and engraved a paragraph on it with a knife and pen, and then put it to the eagle's mouth.

Sure enough, the eagle skillfully grabbed the bamboo slip, and then pressed its claws Ling Chen's shoulder, flew into the air, circled for a while, and then flew to the west.

Not long after, in the slowly retreating Hun camp, Baolai was sitting on the chariot lifted by dozens of people, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and looking at it.

Three hundred thousand people, it is obviously impossible to complete the retreat in one morning, they are retreating in batches.

Baolai was not in a hurry, he was not worried that the Huns would dare to disobey his orders and do any tricks, he retreated first.

At this time, the bamboo slip in his hand was written, "Thank you for your kindness, but I need to clear this faction mission before I can give an answer"

"I want to make the final decision after clearing the customs, it seems that I still have reservations about my words, yes, it is really my favorite candidate, steady and cautious, not to be given by the benefits given in front of me**, with so much real strength and spiritual potential, so that as soon as I entered, I was arranged by the ship of civilization to enter the current most difficult battle world, for me, it is really a good teammate candidate"

If one else thinks about it, he may be annoyed by Ling Chen's hesitant attitude, or at least he will think that Ling Chen has a suspicious personality.

But Bao Lai didn't think so, he had already classified Ling Chen as a strong man on the same level as him, and everything such a strong man did was justified.

So the Hun cavalry slowly retreated, and by the twentieth day, the huge cavalry group was about to come to the next camping place, at this time, after a long journey, people were sleepy and horses were lacking, and coupled with the unfavorable dispatch of troops, the morale was already quite low.

And the retreating Baolai, at this time stopped Bu Yuan, he looked up at the sky with a solemn face, the dark clouds covered the top, and the entire sky seemed to be pressed down, dark and heavy, and the sky was gray.

"On the road back to the division in front, there are a large number of men and horses in ambush, inform the Huns Shan Yu, pay attention to sending the front drive to expand the search area," Bao finished saying this, and began a nervous spiritual meditation on the top of the step, using his authority to communicate with the manager of the ship of civilization, which was obviously a strong opponent for him, who had always expressed confidence.

When the Xiongnu got the news, he couldn't help but be stunned, although he lost half a million troops, but for 300,000 people, it was only a small loss, and the remaining intact ones were 190,000 troops, and there were still more than 280,000 elite cavalry, he couldn't imagine that there was any other big country in the world that dared to send troops to ambush him.

Although he was shocked by the combat effectiveness of those cavalry before, the other party had been monitored by the people he left behind, and it was impossible to come around to ambush him, so who were the rest of the people?

"The Han Kingdom in the south, there was just a coup d'état two years ago, and the new emperor is called Liu Hao, is he? There is only the Han Kingdom in the south, which has the strength to do such a thing" Just thinking of this, he shook his head again, this person has not heard of much ability, and he has just succeeded to the throne, and it is too late to stabilize the interior, if he is ambushed, it is not a worry, but he is just an impulsive boy.

But the other party is impulsive, and he will not be a fool, his 300,000 cavalry group, it is impossible for the other party to ambush him with more southerner soldiers. Because he raised troops in three months, the other party wanted to mobilize more soldiers and horses, must transfer troops from all over the Han family, in three months, if you want to rush to the border grassland to ambush, it is impossible, you can only directly mobilize the border army to come, the border troops need some people to stay, that number is destined to be impossible.

Unless the other party began to mobilize troops and horses at the beginning of his succession to the throne and hoarded them at the border, so that the grain, grass, and horses could be gathered in a short period of time and rushed in front of his return to the division to ambush, but that was impossible, such a big move would have been revealed by the spies and sent back the news.

With experience alone, he can determine that the number of troops ambushed by the other party will not be very large, far less than his cavalry, and the Han people have many foot soldiers, and their mobility is poor, so he put his mind at ease, this Liu Hao is likely to play a surprise attack, earn some military merits, to boost the morale of the people, and stabilize the emperor's throne, not to fight a decisive battle.

Even so, out of steadiness, he still sent a team of 1,000 people first, the front probe, the army dragged back and slowed down, this road back to the division, not a random choice, he could not bypass, the front of this road is a necessary rest point, there is enough water and pasture, for the horses to eat and rest, and then move forward, and then go through a road lacking in water and grass to go to the next water and grass to rest.

It is impossible to avoid ambushes by detouring, if you don't go from the front, there will not be enough water and grass for the horses to eat, and if you go around, hundreds of thousands of horses will have to run for about ten days to get to the next camp and get a lot of drinking water, which will cause more than ten days in a row to be unable to recuperate, not enough water and grass to eat, most of the horses will be hungry and thirsty to death, the other party only needs to follow up, the tail of the pursuit, become infantry Huns, because the drinking water is not replenished, will be exhausted, become lambs to be slaughtered, His losses will be very heavy.

The so-called necessary road is this meaning, it is impossible to detour to other places, one person, several people can detour, but the large group just can't detour, or the baggage car can't pass, or there is no water along the detour, there is no food to collect, the nomads are the same, the grassland is flat, can be wanton and horizontal, but there are only a few routes with abundant water sources, the tribal migration, but also to migrate along several routes, large groups march, the same must be done. The Hun cavalry could survive on a high-energy diet that was easy to carry with cheese and meat floss, and a small amount of water in their skins could endure long journeys, but they could not carry enough forage and drinking water for hundreds of thousands of military horses, and they had to rely on supplies on the road.

Therefore, the best way is to crush the other party's ambush, fortunately, he is now prepared, although he has a great conflict with the great wizard, but he has never underestimated the other party's ability, the other party said that there is an ambush, then there must be.

Sure enough, soon the forward scout cavalry he sent went back and forth, and on the water and grass in front of him, there was a Han army camp, in which the camp tents were stacked on top of each other, and it was difficult to count.
