Chapter 871
Han Xin squatted on the grass and patted that old face.
This person had a face full of beard, more than half of which had turned white.
Looking at this appearance, his age was about fifty or so.
There weren't many wrinkles on his face, and he was a bit chubby.
Looking at this person's appearance, his status should be very high; he didn't look old at all.
If it were someone who did a lot of farm work, by this age, they would probably have a face full of wrinkles.
But this 'big shot' had a ruddy complexion and even breathing, as if he had just fallen asleep.
Although he didn't know what identity this person had, it looked like his status was definitely not low.
If this person had no status, how could there be so many Xiongnu cavalry coming to rescue him so persistently?
Everyone present looked at this 'big shot' with burning eyes.
This was warhorses!
Using him would definitely be able to trade for quite a few warhorses.
Wasn't the hard work of this trip just to trade for some warhorses?
They must absolutely not let this guy die.
Otherwise, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
Han Xin had someone come to take good care of this 'big shot' and fed him some water.
At this time, he must not let him die; he was still looking forward to using him to trade for some warhorses.
One hour later.
Han Xin and the others had rested enough.
A group of generals leaned together and whispered to discuss.
They looked extremely comfortable, without a trace of tension.
The fatigue from running before had been swept away, and everyone was in high spirits.
Everyone's face was filled with a trace of a smile.
It was as if they had come to see the scenery; one couldn't tell at all that there were still pursuers behind them.
Many people looked at Han Xin from time to time; it was precisely because of this person's existence that they were so relaxed.
Everything was under his control, and no major problems would occur.
Otherwise, they probably wouldn't even be able to eat.
"We've rested enough, let's set off!"
Han Xin looked at the group of people who were extremely comfortable and felt a bit speechless.
This group of people had really big hearts to be so comfortable.
If it were an ordinary person encountering this situation, they would probably have wanted to mount their horses and run long ago.
There were still tens of thousands of cavalry staring at them from behind.
The generals stopped talking and looked at Han Xin in unison.
Setting off so soon?
They had rested well.
But the horses might not have rested well yet.
Why be in such a hurry?
Weren't the Xiongnu cavalry still resting?
"Deputy General Han, why are we leaving so quickly?"
"Exactly, are you a bit too anxious?"
"Are we going to leave before the Xiongnu cavalry make a move?"
"Can we rest for a while longer?"
The generals were a bit puzzled, not knowing why Han Xin's order was so sudden.
"Do you really think this is your own home?"
Han Xin glanced at everyone.
Did they really come to see the scenery?
Could they show some respect to the Xiongnu cavalry?
There were still tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry watching from behind.
And they were just sitting here resting comfortably and not leaving?
"What we need to do is lead the Xiongnu by the nose."
"Instead of letting them chase us."
"The meaning is different."
"Do you want to wait until they have rested enough to chase us away?"
Han Xin didn't want to be chased away.
Even if the conditions were difficult, he still had to lead them by the nose.
It would sound better if it spread out later.
Besides, they still had a great advantage now.
If they didn't even know how to utilize this, then they truly deserved to be captured.
The generals heard this and didn't refute.
Leading them by the nose was definitely the best.
Just like that, the Great Qin cavalry began a new round of alternative racing.
Seeing this, the Xiongnu cavalry in the distance didn't have time to rest and mounted their horses to chase.
They were also waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the main force to come and support them.
There was no harm in following closely; it would be best if they could catch up.
However, everyone's horses were the same.
With such a distance apart, unless the other side stopped to wait, it wouldn't be so easy to catch up.
The two sides galloped one after the other.
Because the distance was far enough, even the range of the crossbows couldn't reach.
Both sides did nothing but run.
Tens of thousands of horses galloping, the commotion was also very large.
A rumbling sound came from the vast grassland, just like an earthquake.
The journey of running was dull, nothing but bumps.
The horses had to rest after running for a few hours.
Otherwise, the horses definitely couldn't take continuous running.
Such running was dull.
But neither side wanted to stop.
They didn't know how long they had been running like this.
When both sides were tired, their speed began to slow down.
Finally, they stopped to rest in unison.
The Xiongnu cavalry's persistent pursuit was to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
In this way, they could expand the encirclement to capture the Qin people.
And the Great Qin cavalry wanted to run back to the territory of Great Qin.
As long as they returned to the territory of Great Qin, as long as they returned to the Great Wall.
There were three hundred thousand border defense troops guarding there.
As long as they returned to the Great Wall, they would be absolutely safe.
Therefore, no one gave up, but the speed was controlled quite well.
None of them wanted to run their horses to death.
When night fell, both sides chose to rest.
After all, when night fell, it was pitch black everywhere.
Occasionally, once or twice, the Xiongnu cavalry would secretly surround them under the cover of night. ===== CHAPTER 873 =====
