Chapter 873: Never give up, good news from the front

At noon.

It was another race.

Chou Fu rode his horse close to Han Xin and complained on the side: "Brother Han, when will this end?"

"Are these Xiongnu too persistent?"

"If we keep running like this, let alone the horses, I can't take it anymore."

"This is the longest chase we've had, right?"

"Why haven't these Xiongnu stopped to rest yet?"

"This spirit of chasing is truly... admirable!"

"Their horses don't even have saddles; don't their balls hurt from the friction?"

Chou Fu's face was full of helplessness; his mount couldn't take it anymore.

If they kept running, something would probably happen.

And sitting on the horse for a long time, his crotch was aching faintly.

Fortunately, they had saddles; if they didn't have saddles.

He really didn't know if his crotch would be chafed by the horse's back.

The rest of the people heard Chou Fu say this.

They couldn't help but touch their crotches; fortunately, there were saddles.

Otherwise, their crotches would probably have been chafed until they bled.

Even with saddles, they were aching faintly.

The Xiongnu cavalry without saddles were probably even worse off.

They had been running for four consecutive days; it was truly exhausting.

The light and airy expression from before had disappeared, leaving only fatigue.

"Let's hold on a bit longer."

"If they don't stop, we don't stop."

"If they slow down, we follow and slow down."

"This is something that can't be helped; now it's a test of endurance."

"I estimate that it won't be long before they have to stop."

Han Xin then remembered that Chou Fu was right.

They had saddles to protect them, but sitting on the horse's back for a long time, their crotches were still a bit uncomfortable.

But the Xiongnu didn't have saddles; with such long friction, their crotches probably couldn't take it either.

He wondered if the Xiongnu would have the sorrow of the balls?

"Ah, they finally slowed down."

He didn't know how long it had been when Xiao Wu gave a loud shout, which was exciting.

Xiao Wu's relaxed expression from before had disappeared, and now only fatigue remained.

Having run for four days in a row, people with weak constitutions would probably have collapsed.

It was only because they were well-trained and had superior constitutions that they were able to survive.

The Xiongnu cavalry behind finally gradually stopped.

Han Xin also ordered people to stop and rest quickly.

Some people were responsible for guarding, and some took out dry rations and ate.

If they kept running, no one could take it.

The lively vast grassland suddenly became quiet.

The Great Qin cavalry sat on the grass, all hanging their heads and chewing on sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Having eaten sweet potatoes and potatoes for several days in a row, they almost vomited.

But they were so hungry they had no choice; they didn't have time to eat anything else.

It wasn't that they hadn't prepared to eat something else, but before the pot was set up and the water boiled, the Xiongnu chased them again.

The ingredients were wasted in vain; after one or two times, no one wanted to waste time.

Eating dry rations was the most time-saving; these days, besides eating sweet potatoes, they ate potatoes.

This time, the Great Qin cavalry didn't have their usual high spirits.

Everyone lowered their heads and ate their dry rations in silence.

"The reason they are chasing so fiercely is probably because they see we are about to return to the territory of Great Qin."

"That's why they are so persistent."

"This person's identity might not be simple."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have chased us for four days in a row."

When Han Xin said this, he looked at the Xiongnu 'big shot' with graying temples.

The rest of the people also looked over one after another.

This person had already woken up two days ago.

But after waking up, he hadn't said a single word.

He had remained silent for these past few days.

No matter how they asked him, he just wouldn't speak.

The Commandant army had also recruited a few soldiers who could speak the Xiongnu language.

But when the soldiers used the Xiongnu language to talk to this person, he acted as if he didn't understand.

In the end, they had no choice but to take him along for the run.

This person would often look at the Xiongnu cavalry following in the distance.

Apart from that, there was nothing else.

"Deputy General Han, the situation is a bit wrong."

"That group of Xiongnu is chasing too fiercely."

"It's as if we captured their parents."

"Even if it's a Chancellor or a General, there's no need to chase so persistently, right?"

Someone began to doubt the identity of this Xiongnu leader.

But this person just wouldn't speak, so they had no way of knowing.

"Whatever his identity is, don't worry about it."

"We've reached this point, even if he is the Xiongnu King Touman Chanyu, we've captured him."

"Hold on for a few more days and we can return to the territory of Great Qin; then we'll be safe."

"The more urgently the Xiongnu cavalry chase, the more it proves that this person's status in the Xiongnu is very high."

"It might even be the father of the Xiongnu King Touman Chanyu." ===== CHAPTER 875 =====
