Baolai made his promise, but Ling Chen did not immediately decide to sign the contract. Although the other party gave him a lot of information to clarify a series of confusions that arise from his previous life to the present, the two parties have only met once, and it is impossible for him to enter such an important contract on this, even if the contract is still possible to tear it down in the end.

At noon, a Hun cavalry ran to his camp and sent an eagle.

"This is my great wizard, the gift I gave you." He said this and left.

Ling Chen took the eagle and put it on his shoulder. The eagle was gray all over, with a pair of eyeballs very vivid, with its wings stretched out more than one meter wide, with its sharp beak and claws showing strength. One foot was a ring, and several ancient texts were engraved on it, meaning "Qianli", probably its name.

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

Sure enough, the eagle skillfully picked up the bamboo slips, then pressed his claws hard on Ling Chen's shoulders, 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 raised by dozens of people, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and watching.

There were 300,000 people, and it was obvious that they could not have retreated one morning, and they were retreating in batches.

Baolai was not in a hurry. He was not worried that the Huns' Khan would dare to disobey his orders and make 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 pass this camp mission before I can give a reply."

"I want to make the final decision after passing the level. It seems that I have reservations about my words. It's true. I am the one I like. I am steady and cautious, not obeyed by the benefits given in front of me. I have such great real power and spiritual potential that as soon as I come in, I was arranged by the Civilized Boat to enter the current most difficult battle world. For me, I am really the best candidate for teammates."

If someone else thinks, he may be angry at Ling Chen's hesitant attitude, and at least he will think that Ling Chen is suspicious.

But Baolai didn't think so. He had already attributed Ling Chen to a strong man on the same level as him. Everything such a strong man did was justified.

So the Hun cavalry slowly retreated. By the 20th day, the huge cavalry group was about to arrive at the next camp and rest site. After a long journey, the people were trapped and horses were scarce, and the morale was already quite sluggish.

Baolai, who was retreating in front, called Bu Nian at this time. He raised his head to look at the celestial phenomena with a serious expression. The dark clouds covered the top of the sky, and the whole sky seemed to be pressed down, dark and dark.

"On the road to return to the army, a large number of people were ambushing the Huns and notifying the Xiongnu Chanyu, paying attention to sending forwards to expand the search range." After Bao finished speaking, he began to meditate nervously on the chariot, using his authority to communicate with the manager of the Civilized Boat. This was obviously a strong opponent for him who had always shown confidence.

When the Huns Shanyu received this news, he was stunned. Although he had lost half a 10,000 team, for the 300,000 people, it was only a small loss. The remaining complete ones were 19 10,000 teams, and the elite cavalry still exceeded 280,000. He could not have imagined that there was another great power in the world that dared to send troops to ambush him.

Although he was shocked by the combat effectiveness of the cavalry before, the other party was always being watched by the people he left behind, and it was impossible to come around and ambush him. Who is the remaining person?

"The Han Kingdom in the south had just had a coup two years ago. The newly promoted emperor, named Liu Hao, was it him? Only the Han Kingdom in the south had the ability to do such a thing." When Shanyu thought of this, he shook his head again. He had not heard of this person's ability, and he had just succeeded to the throne and had no time to stabilize the internal situation. If he launched an ambush, it would be no reason. He was just an impulsive boy.

But no matter how impulsive the other party is, he will not be a fool. With his 300,000 cavalry group, the other party cannot use more southern soldiers to ambush him. Because his uprising was completed within three months. If the other party wants to mobilize more troops, he must mobilize troops from all over the Han family. In three months, it is impossible to ambush the border grasslands. He can only mobilize the border troops directly. The border troops need some people to stay behind, and the number is destined to be impossible.

Unless the other party began to mobilize troops and hoard them at the border when he succeeded to the throne, the food, grass, and horses could gather in a short time and rush to ambush in front of his return troops. But that was impossible. Such a big move had long been discovered by the spy and the news was sent back.

With his experience, Shanyu was able to confirm that the number of troops that the opponent was ambushing was not large, much less than his cavalry, and the Han people had many infantry and poor mobility. Therefore, he felt relieved. Liu Hao was probably just trying to play a raid, earn some military merits, and encourage the morale of the people, and secure the emperor's throne, which was not to fight a decisive battle.

Even so, for the sake of stability, he still sent a team of thousands of people to investigate and the army dragged back and slowed down. This road to return was not a casual choice, and he could not bypass it. A must-have rest point ahead of this road, where there was enough water and pasture to provide horses with food and rest, and then move forward, and then go through a road lacking water and grass before you can rest in the next water and grass field.

It is impossible to take a detour to avoid the ambush. If you don’t walk from the front, there will be no enough water and grass for horses to eat and recover. If you go around, hundreds of thousands of horses will have to travel for about ten days before you can get to the next camp and get a chance to drink a lot of water. This will cause you to not be able to recover for more than ten days. If you don’t eat enough water, most of the horses will be hungry and thirsty. As long as the other party follows up, chases the Huns, who become infantry, will be exhausted because they have not replenished water and become lambs to be slaughtered. The losses will be very heavy.

This is what the so-called necessary road means. It is impossible to detour other places. One person or a few people can take a detour, but the big group just cannot take a detour, or the baggage truck cannot pass, or there is no water along the road and there is no food to collect. The same is true for nomads. The grassland is flat and can be traversed by wantonly, but there are only a few routes with abundant water sources. Tribes must migrate along several routes. Large group marchs must do this. The Hun cavalry can maintain vitality by relying on a high-energy diet that is convenient to carry, and a small amount of skins can endure long journeys. However, they cannot carry enough for hundreds of thousands of troops and horses and must rely on supplements on the road.

Therefore, the best way for Shanyu is to defeat the opponent's ambush. Fortunately, he is ready now. Although he has a great conflict with the great wizard, he has never underestimated the opponent's ability. If the opponent says there is an ambush, then there must be one.
