In the next time, I could only rely on the horse milk produced by the war horses that accompanied the army to live.

However, the milk production of war horses in the army cannot satisfy the daily consumption of his thousands of troops.

Moreover, the grass and clean water sources are gradually exhausted.

Now, Xu Yan has to consider the question of where he should go if Wei Lu’s reinforcements are not delayed?

Breakthrough?

This has been rejected long ago.

Because even if the breakthrough is successful and there is no reinforcement to support his cavalry, his cavalry will bite his tail and kill him without leaving any armor!

war?

Not OK either!

In the past four days, he has sought to fight against the Han cavalry many times.

However, every time the Han army encountered his attack, they would take the initiative to retreat, and act like if you want to leave, you should leave quickly, and if you don’t leave, you should squat me.

Those Han Dynasty people saw through his essence!

I also understood that if he wanted to leave, the Han army would be unable to stop him.

So, just ignore it.

The large army wants to leave?

Then please!

But Xuyan dared not!

He is not stupid, he understands very clearly that defending himself may die, but breaking through will definitely die!

Hundreds of miles of vast grassland will become the burial place for him and his cavalry!

Just like twenty-seven years ago, King Zuo Xian was defeated by the man from the Han Dynasty after Gong Lushui.

More than 100,000 elite cavalry of the Huns, millions of livestock, and more than 100,000 women and children, on the way to retreat north after the defeat, they left countless bodies, and the losses even exceeded the number of beheaded by the Han army!

It was that war that led to the population of the Hun Empire and a fault!

In twenty-seven years, the previous population figures have not been restored.

"King, there are dozens of slaves who died of heatstroke..." Han Kuo-yu walked to Xu Yan with his sword, knelt down on one knee, and reported one bad news: "In addition, more than seventy horses have died yesterday and today!"

Xu Yan listened, becoming more and more impatient. He looked into the distance and gritted his teeth: "These damn Han people! And that damn Wei Lu!"

However, he could only curse.

"Cabinets sent out last night to contact the north successfully passed the Han army's blockade line?" Xu Yan asked Han Guoyu.

"No!" Han Kuo-yu replied dejectedly: "Just this morning, the Han people hung the heads of the five envoys in front of the army!"

"Damn it!" Xu Yan clenched his fists, resentful and regretful!

Since the Han army surrounded the Han army, the Han army has clearly shown an attitude that he can leave, but he must lead the main force to break through. Moreover, he must leave a troops behind the palace here to prepare meals for the Han people.

If there is a small breakthrough, there will be no goal!

You will definitely be severely attacked by the Han Dynasty cavalry!

Over the past few days, he sent more than ten teams of scouts to contact the north.

But no one succeeded!

Those Han Dynasty people scattered a large number of scouts and buried many traps in the necessary places outside the encirclement.

A small group of scout cavalry could not pass.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue taking risks, hoping to take the chance and contact Wei Lu as soon as possible.

If you don’t contact Wei Lu, Xuyan understands that his army may fall apart at any time!

In the past two days, he no longer dared to leave too many surrendered officials of the Han Dynasty by his side.

At night, the guards were basically his slaves and subordinates.

"Master Han!" Xu Yan suddenly asked, "According to Master Zhu, if King Ding Ling cannot come to support, will our army still have a way to break the situation?"

This is a problem that he and his subordinates and nobles have to face and consider now.

If Wei Lu cannot arrive, or is sniped.

Then he must find a way to save himself.

However, after thinking about it, Xuyan never thought of a solution to the problem.

The commander of the Han Dynasty was like a piece of candy, holding his cavalry tightly and sticking to himself.

Under this scene, he couldn't move.

And handed him a multiple-choice question.

So far, there seem to be only two options for this question.

Death by Lingchi, or sit still and wait for death!

After hearing this, Han Kuo-yu lowered his head and said, "Report to the king, the ministers have also considered this matter..."

"If King Dingling cannot come to help, our army's only life will be only one..."

"Hmm?" Xu Yan raised his head, looked at Han Kuo-yu, and asked, "Please give me some advice!"

"Put it to death and live!" Han Kuo-yu looked at Xu Yan and said, "Only in this way can one seek to live in death!"

Xu Yan listened, pondered, finally got up, and bowed to Han Kuo-yu: "How dare you ask the general, why can you die and live?"

Han Kuo-yu hurriedly knelt down, bowed and said, "This depends on whether the king wants to break his boat and fight with his back? Or is the golden cicada escaped?"

"How about fighting with a boat after a long battle?" Xu Yan asked softly: "So what about the golden cicada that escaped from its shell?"

"Breaking the boat, fighting with the water, I will learn from King Xiang and Huaiyin, cut off my back roads, motivate the soldiers, separate and move forward, and attack from the most unexpected place of the Han army..." Han Kuo-yu stretched out his hand to the south and said, "As long as our army can break through the encirclement of the Han army, we can attack Ze south, take Wuheng's livestock and horses for his own use, and then go southwest from Ze, pass through the Halahai, Shuogong Lushui, and go north to the north of the Mobei!"

Xu Yan was shocked when he heard this.

Not to mention the other side, this road is full of dangers. As long as there is a problem in one link, the entire army will be wiped out!

What's even more terrifying is...

The journey of this road is too far.

It was almost a thousand miles away, and then from the Hala Sea, I found the Gonglu River and followed the river back to the Gonglu River Valley before my departure.

The whole journey is probably two or three thousand miles!

Even if you succeed, you may not save one in the end!

What's more, the Han cavalry will definitely follow behind the butt and chase after the tail.

So he shook his head and said, "This strategy is too risky!"

"Then I can only escape!" Han Kuo-yu lowered his head and said, "King, the Han army is now only surrounding me from three sides!"

"This is not only to surround the three ques and one, but also because they don't believe that our army dares to return north on the east side of Yanze!"

When Xu Yan heard this, he immediately jumped up: "Are you crazy?"

In the salt lake, there are salt ponds and mountain mausoleums.

More importantly, it leads to the vast ocean.

Danger, terror, yellow sand is everywhere, and the vast sea of ​​flying sand and stones are flying.

In this season, traveling through the vast sea is no different from committing suicide!

Han Kuo-yu lowered his head and said, "This is the best choice for our army now!"

"As long as we bring enough water and dry food, our army has full hope, cross the vast sea and return to Zhao Xincheng on the north bank of Yuwushui!"

Xu Yan shook his head and said, "Master Han, how do you know the danger and terror of the Hanhai!"

“It’s more than just a desert!”

"It's even more a great god, the curtain that has been brought down!"

"Once people and livestock step into it, if they are not familiar with the local shaman guide, they will lose their direction and sleep forever in the yellow sand!"

"It is because of the familiar shaman who leads the way. If the gods don't like it, they will also sleep forever!"

As a Hun royal family, Xu Yan never dared to forget the fate of the tribes and cavalry who fled into the vast sea in panic after Zuo Xianwang defeated Gong Lushui!

He even went to the vast sea in the windless winter, under the guidance of the shamans and priests, and saw the remains of the Hun cavalry and nobles who were sleeping forever.

Thousands of corpses of people and horses are scattered among the sand dunes and the Gobi.

Their bodies were kept forever by the gods and remained in their appearance before death.

At the beginning, tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled into the vast sea.

There are only a thousand people who can be favored by the gods and walk out alive.

Therefore, how could it be impossible for Xuyan to choose to break through the vast sea?
To be continued...
