Chapter 439: Luring the enemy deep, Xiongnu enter the circle

A trap?

Being surrounded?

Modu does not want to believe this in his heart.

But how to explain the disappearance of the scouting cavalry?

"Your Highness, why don't we... retreat!"

The deputy general also becomes somewhat nervous upon hearing this news.

After all, nineteen people disappeared all at once.

If this were still normal.

No one would believe it if it were told.

Something must have happened ahead.

Otherwise, it is impossible for so many people to disappear all at once.

Modu does not answer the deputy general's words.

Instead, he looks at Luo Huan.

This kid has many devious ideas.

Let's see if he has any good suggestions.

He is unwilling to retreat just like this.

He has to retreat before even figuring out the situation.

If it gets out, how embarrassing would it be?

He, Modu, is a Xiongnu strongman and warrior; he cannot afford to lose face like this.

At the very least, he must figure things out before retreating, right?

"Luo Huan, what do you think of this matter?"

The others all look at Luo Huan.

Some generals do not give Luo Huan a good look, warning him with their eyes.

Telling him he had better weigh his words before speaking.

Luo Huan ponders for a while.

With such a big matter, he dares not say too much.

Looking at Modu's appearance, he is unwilling to retreat just like this.

The best way is to say nothing at all, to avoid offending anyone.

But since Modu has asked, he cannot say nothing.

"Your Highness, I can only think of two methods now."

"Why don't you listen, and then you can make the final decision?"

"Speak."

Modu has no better method now.

He can only listen to others' suggestions and see.

"First, send more men to scout ahead to see what happened."

"If we leave without figuring it out, it will likely dampen morale."

"Even if there are Great Qin soldiers ahead, it is estimated their numbers might not be high, otherwise they would have rushed out already."

"Second, there might be great danger ahead; since we haven't deepened inside yet, retreating immediately is still in time."

"This is also the best opportunity to preserve ourselves; everything depends on Your Highness's decision."

Luo Huan's two methods, to put it nicely, are methods.

To put it bluntly, they are nothing at all—just one retreat and one advance.

He is completely kicking the ball back to Modu.

And Modu is quite speechless upon hearing this.

However, it is not entirely useless.

Thinking about retreating from Great Qin just like this.

It is estimated that morale would indeed be seriously dampened.

And they have no idea what the situation is ahead.

They have over thirty thousand cavalry now.

Even if there are ten thousand Qin Ruishi ahead, they don't need to be afraid.

Perhaps the Great Qin people are just trying to scare them away because their numbers are low.

If there were many Great Qin people ahead, they would have jumped out to fight long ago.

Why would they need to be so sneaky?

Thinking of this, Modu waves his hand.

"Bring one hundred cavalrymen to scout what happened ahead."

"I am unwilling to retreat without figuring it out!"

"I imagine you are also unwilling to retreat, but for the sake of stability, the great army cannot all deepen inside!"

"The rest of the people stay on alert; if there is an accident, retreat quickly."

"If there is no accident, the whole army advances!"

Modu's words carry great authority.

Soon, over a hundred cavalrymen ride their horses and rush toward the front.

The rest of the great army also stays alert to the surrounding movements.

It is not that Modu hasn't thought about the whole army deepening inside.

But for the sake of stability, he does not want to take this risk.

At the very least, he needs to confirm how many people are inside before considering whether to stay or leave.

This time the waiting period is not long.

Soon, cavalrymen rush back.

The soldier who rushes back is covered in blood.

He looks very disheveled!

"What happened ahead?"

"How many people are there?"

Luo Huan asks the cavalryman urgently.
