Chapter 39 Disappearance
"Among the Xiongnu, there is a technique of training eagles for reconnaissance. Oh no, our position is exposed." Wang Wu's face suddenly changed.
"Damn it, I neglected it. This is a reconnaissance eagle trained by the Xiongnu. We may have fallen into a trap. The three small transport troops are baits, deliberately luring us." Guo Xiaoping said with a grim face at this moment.
Sheng Huaian frowned, immediately took out a bow and arrow, put an arrow on the bow, injected the true essence into the arrow feathers, and shot at the eagle.
However, with his current archery skills, he couldn't shoot the eagle down at all.
The soldiers behind him frowned when they saw that Sheng Huaian didn't shoot the eagle down.
Once the eagle followed them, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Xiongnu cavalry.
Sheng Huaian immediately consumed the killing value to upgrade the archer level.
Consumed 50 killing points and upgraded the archer level to gold level.
Continue to consume 200 killing points and upgrade the archer level to archer.
Sheng Huaian immediately drew the bow again and aimed at the eagle in the sky. At this moment, his mind seemed to be integrated with the whole bow, and he injected his strong true energy into the arrow.
An arrow was shot out, and the arrow was like a golden stream of light across the sky, shooting towards the eagle.
The soldiers were stunned when they saw this scene. Only a master archer could shoot such a terrifying arrow.
The eagle that felt the danger spread its wings and fled, but it was too late.
The arrows shot by the master archer could not be avoided, and could only be destroyed with powerful force.
"Chi!!"
An arrow pierced the eagle's chest, and the eagle in the sky fell in the eyes of the soldiers.
"Let's go, leave here."
Without caring about the eagle that was shot, Sheng Huaian led his men and left here quickly.
Not long after, a cavalry of 4,000 people came to where they were just now.
See the eagle that was shot.
"Damn, we've been discovered. It seems that there are archers in this team." Tuoba Tao said.
"They should not have gone far. Chase them! We can't let them run away." Hu Nanlei looked at the eagle that was shot dead, and his blood had not yet coagulated.
These 4,000 cavalrymen were two combined.
"If they dare to go wild on the grassland, let them bury their bones on the grassland, so that the grass will grow lush next year."
The 4,000 cavalrymen chased along the horseshoe prints on the ground.
When they found that they were being targeted by the Xiongnu cavalry, Sheng Huaian and his men ran for more than 100 kilometers without resting.
"Soldier, it's not a good idea for us to run like this." Guo Xiaoping said.
If they keep running like this, they will be caught up sooner or later.
"What can we do if we don't run? If there are only one or two thousand pursuers behind us, we can still deal with them. If there are more than two thousand, I'm afraid that we will be surrounded and killed on this grassland." Sheng Huaian said.
Their cavalry is not very strong, and he only has three post-natal warriors, which is barely worth watching.
The remaining soldiers were not very strong. There were not many martial artists and warriors, and most of them were soldiers at the martial arts level.
Once they encountered a large force of Hun cavalry, they could only run away.
"We must first find out how many Hun cavalry are targeting us. If there are not many, we will kill them back." Hu Bing said with a fierce look.
"Soldier, I will take people to take a look." Wang Wu said.
Sheng Huaian looked at Wang Wu and nodded slowly: "Be careful and come back safely."
"Don't worry, I'm still reluctant to die. Xiao Cui in Yichunlou is still waiting for me to go back." Wang Wu smiled.
Then Wang Wu took two scouts and turned back.
The three figures that went away were like lonely retrogrades. No one could guarantee that they could come back safely.
Sheng Huaian watched Wang Wu and the other two go away until they could no longer see him.
"Leave a signal and find a hidden place to wait for them." Sheng Huaian said.
After finding a place not far away to stop and rest, Sheng Huaian sent out scouts to guard.
He must be as cautious as possible. If there is any mistake, it may lead to the destruction of their entire army.
Now that the Huns are using a large army to transport food and supplies, they can no longer attack the army that transports food and supplies. It seems that the combat target has to be changed.
If they can't attack the Huns' food and grass transport army, then they will attack those small tribes and wipe out all those small tribes of the Huns. This is Sheng Huaian's plan.
Taking advantage of the rest time, the soldiers began to cook and eat.
Half an hour later, Wang Wu and the other two returned safely.
"Finally back." Sheng Huaian's worried heart was put down.
"I am lucky and I won't die yet." Wang Wu grinned.
"How is the situation, brother Wang Wu." Tang Yunshan asked first.
Everyone also looked at Wang Wu, waiting for the news he brought back.
Wang Wu's face became solemn: "Behind us, there are 4,000 elite Huns cavalry, about 30 miles away from us."
After hearing Wang Wu's words, everyone looked solemn, 4,000 elite cavalry.
They only have more than 900 people, and they have no chance of winning.
Unless Sheng Huaian breaks through the Xiantian realm now, he can defeat thousands of troops alone.
This is the gap between numbers and strength.
"How can we get rid of the pursuit of this Xiongnu cavalry?!" Hu Bing said heavily.
"If we can make the horse hoof prints disappear, the Xiongnu cavalry will not be able to find our traces, and we can easily get rid of the Xiongnu cavalry's pursuit." Hai Dahe suddenly said.
"You are talking nonsense. Erasing the horse hoof prints will naturally prevent the Xiongnu cavalry from tracking us, but how to make the horse hoof prints disappear is the key point." Tang Yunshan said unhappily.
"If I could think of it, I would have said it earlier." Hai Dahe rolled his eyes at Tang Yunshan.
The two people's bickering reminded Sheng Huaian. Yes, if the horse hoof prints disappeared, wouldn't the Xiongnu cavalry lose their tracking targets?
"Among the materials we seized, are there any leather or cloth?" Sheng Huaian asked.
"Sheng Bingwei, what do you want leather for?" Guo Xiaoping asked.
Everyone didn't know why Sheng Huaian suddenly wanted leather.
"I have a great use for it. If there is any, go and get it quickly."
Tang Yunshan scratched his somewhat messy hair and said, "Bingwei, what we seized and took away were food, weapons and other materials, no leather."
Sheng Huaian looked at Tang Yunshan, and the breeze blew Tang Yunshan's battle robe.
Tang Yunshan saw Sheng Huaian staring at him intently, which made him feel uneasy.
"Soldier...Soldier, I...I didn't do anything wrong." He couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Take off your clothes."
"What?"
Tang Yunshan was stunned. It was still daytime.
No, he didn't like Long Yang.
Everyone looked at Sheng Huaian in surprise.
"Well, well, Soldier, I...I don't have that kind of hobby." Tang Yunshan was scared to death.
"Do you want to die? I mean take off your battle robe." Sheng Huaian's face was full of black lines.
"Oh, you want a battle robe, you scared me." Tang Yunshan was scared to death.
If Sheng Huaian used force, he was afraid that he would lose his integrity in his later years. Fortunately, Sheng Huaian didn't mean that.
Tang Yunshan quickly took off the battle robe and gave it to Sheng Huaian.
"Why do you want this battle robe?" Wang Wu and others were confused. They didn't know why Sheng Huaian wanted Tang Yunshan's battle robe.
"I'm useful!"
Sheng Huaian did not explain, but broke the battle robe into several pieces and then wrapped them on the horse's hooves.
After wrapping the horse's hooves, Sheng Huaian rode the warhorse for a circle. The horse's hoof prints left on the grass became much smaller and would disappear in a short time.
Everyone looked at this scene with wide eyes. Is it still possible? !
Guo Xiaoping and others felt that they had grown their brains today.
"Wrap all the horse's hooves with cloth, quickly!" Seeing that this was feasible, Sheng Huaian ordered immediately.
Soon, the soldiers under his command took off their battle robes or took tent cloth to wrap the horse's hooves.
After wrapping the horse's hooves, they left this place, and the traces left on the ground could not be distinguished for a long time.
When the Xiongnu cavalry chased here, they saw the traces of the camp, but could not find the direction of departure.
"Report, Captain, the traces disappeared here, and there is no trace of the enemy leaving."
"What happened? The traces disappeared!" Tuoba Tao frowned when he heard his men report. This is not good news.
"The enemy obviously camped here, but there are no horse hoof prints of leaving." The person who reported said.
"Could these people escape underground?"
Hu Nanlei was furious. He could not find any traces. In this vast grassland, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a team of people.
"Look for them, split up and dig three feet deep to find them for me." Tuoba Tao said unwillingly.
"Okay, split up and contact with sentinels. Once the enemy's whereabouts are found, contact immediately and surround them." Hu Nanlei agreed.
If they return without success, their captaincy will be over.
The sudden disappearance of Sheng Huaian's troops caught Tuoba Tao and Hu Nanlei off guard.
In order to find Sheng Huaian's troops, they had no choice but to divide their troops again.
