Chapter 868: Alternative race, resting in turns

"This is not your fault."

"Their leader was captured, so they will definitely chase after us like madmen."

"It's just that I didn't expect them to come so quickly."

"But fortunately, the distance between us is still quite large, otherwise we'd be in big trouble."

"You don't need to think about luring them away; they might not fall for it again."

"At most, they would just split off a team to pursue us, and they still outnumber us."

Han Xin offered a few words of comfort and did not blame Chou Fu.

The current advantage is that the distance between them is still very large.

There is at least a distance of seven or eight li, and the Xiongnu cavalry can only follow their tracks.

On this vast grassland, it is flat as a plain, and with the naked eye, one can only see a mass of shadows.

As long as they don't let the Xiongnu cavalry get close, no one can block them on this vast grassland.

This is also their winning chance; as long as they escape from here, everything still has a chance.

Therefore, Han Xin didn't feel any tension.

He even took the opportunity to comfort the people around him.

"Then what should we do now?"

"If we keep running like this, the horses won't be able to take it."

Chou Fu was still somewhat worried.

Horses cannot run day and night.

Doing so will sooner or later run the horses to death.

"This is simple."

Han Xin's face was very confident and calm.

This emotion seemed to be infectious.

When the people around saw this, they unconsciously felt at ease.

It was as if they had taken a reassurance pill.

Han Xin was now their backbone.

Everyone was waiting for Han Xin to issue orders.

Han Xin also controlled the speed and gradually slowed down.

The army's speed was much slower than before.

Otherwise, if they kept running like this, let alone the horses, the people wouldn't be able to take it either.

"They are riding horses, and we are riding horses too."

"When our horses can't take it, their horses won't be able to take it either."

"We should rest when it's time to rest; only by resting well can we run faster."

"We just need to prevent them from getting close."

"I estimate that in another seven or eight days, we can return to the territory of Great Qin."

"By then, we won't be afraid even if the Xiongnu cavalry chase us."

Han Xin didn't believe that the Xiongnu's horses were stronger than theirs.

As long as they are horses, they need to stop and rest.

Otherwise, if they keep running like this, they will either be exhausted or starved to death.

If they stop to rest, the Xiongnu cavalry will probably have to stop to rest too.

The endurance of horses is comparable; no one is much stronger than the other.

When Sha Nu and the others heard this, they immediately felt at ease.

This made sense; no one could run day and night.

Even horses couldn't do it.

"It really seems to be like that."

"We didn't think about the problem of the horses just now."

"Horses need to rest and need to eat."

"We need it too, and the Xiongnu need it too."

"Since that's the case, the time for both sides is equal."

"If we stop, they will definitely be tired too."

"I really don't believe they don't need to rest."

Sha Nu and the others discussed one after another.

"Everyone stop and rest."

"Just be careful not to let them get close."

"We just need to maintain a certain safe distance."

Han Xin issued the order; having run for so long, everyone was exhausted.

The cavalry received the order and quickly stopped.

They rested right on the spot.

They were also exhausted; as soon as they stopped, some people took out sweet potatoes and potatoes and started gnawing on them.

Now they must seize this hard-won rest time.

Those horses were also exhausted; after stopping, they gradually began to lower their heads to eat grass.

Behind the army, there were soldiers on guard, keeping their telescopes pointed toward the direction of the Xiongnu. ===== CHAPTER 870 =====
