Chapter 257

This matter was finally coming to an end, and finally drawing to a close.

In the distance, within Mount Tanhan.

Following Wang Rou and the guards under his command as they ran out, more Xianbei people also followed the direction of Wang Rou's exit and ran out.

"Big Brother Duan, shall we make a move?"

Tie Shitou, standing beside Duan Yu, was already eager to try.

Duan Yu shook his head slightly.

Wang Rou certainly could not escape; now, it was a matter of seeing if they could catch one or two more big fish among the Xianbei.

Wang Rou had come to Mount Tanhan surely to see Kuitou. Now that Wang Rou had run out from this side, could that group of Xianbei people behind him be Kuitou?

"Shitou, go and mobilize that cavalry unit of Qing'an; don't worry about the other ferry crossing."

"Later, we will launch an all-out ambush on the Xianbei people at this ferry crossing, as well as Wang Rou!" Duan Yu said.

Tie Shitou nodded hurriedly, then took several personal guards under his command and went off to relay the order.

Following behind Wang Rou, a group of Xianbei people, some on horseback and some fleeing on foot, also ran out from the mountain pass exit behind Wang Rou.

"A-Gan, these Han people are indeed cunning. If we hadn't followed them, I fear we wouldn't have been able to get out," Budugen said, sitting on his horse and turning his head to look at the somewhat disheveled Kuitou beside him.

At this moment, Kuitou was bare-chested, his body scorched shiny and oily by the great fire.

Even the beard on his chin had been reduced by half.

The remaining half was curled up.

The eyebrows and eyelashes on his face had all been burned away.

Budugen, beside him, was in no better shape.

"A-Bugan, quickly, quickly clear the passage and let everyone cross the river."

"Drive the herds of cattle and sheep out and cross the river," Kuitou said anxiously to Budugen beside him.

Budugen nodded and said, "A-Gan, you cross the river first; I will command here."

Kuitou glanced at Wang Rou's team, which had already reached the middle of the Shuochou River bed, then nodded, spurred his horse, and led the Xianbei soldiers to chase after them.

On the other side of the riverbank.

Seeing that Wang Rou had already crossed more than half the river, and that a group of mounted Xianbei had caught up from behind,

Duan Yu also stood up from behind the hillside.

As Wang Hunu led the warhorse to Duan Yu's side,

Duan Yu, supporting himself with one hand on the saddle, vaulted onto the horse and took the opportunity to pull the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd from the ground, pointing it at Wang Rou, who was in the middle of crossing the river.
