Chapter 260: One rider against a thousand, rolling waves of blood; who in the world does not know your name!

Having only reached halfway across the river, Kuitou discovered the Han cavalry that had suddenly appeared on the bank.

At first, seeing the Han cavalry stop beside Wang Rou, Kuitou thought those Han cavalry were the cavalry under Wang Rou's command.

So he didn't think much of it.

But as those Han cavalry galloped toward his direction, Kuitou finally realized that something was wrong.

"Release arrows!"

Duan Yu, who led the cavalry under his command to stop on the south bank of the Shuochou River, reached out to bend his bow and nock an arrow.

The three arrows clamped between his fingers were released instantly.

And the cavalry behind Duan Yu also took down the long bows they carried on their backs and fired in volleys.

A round of arrow rain rose into the sky, like dense, black locusts.

And the Xianbei people and Xianbei soldiers who were crossing the Shuochou River had absolutely no protection.

After this wave of arrow rain, a large area fell instantly, just like cutting grass.

And every arrow shot by Duan Yu hit a Xianbei soldier precisely between the eyebrows.

Arrows like a string of pearls, drawing the bow and firing, without even needing to aim.

If the archery of the cavalry beside Duan Yu could be compared to a bolt-action rifle, then Duan Yu's rate of fire was an automatic rifle.

The thousands of Xianbei people crossing the river completely became targets.

They were mercilessly harvested, one crop after another.

"Charge up, charge up, kill them, kill them, charge up!"

Kuitou shouted loudly.

Behind him was the raging Mount Tanhan.

Even standing at the foot of the mountain, one could feel the scorching heat.

To survive, one had to cross the Shuochou River in front of them.

More Xianbei people were still escaping from the valley mouth, heading straight for the Shuochou River.

On the riverbank, the three quivers carried by Duan Yu's warhorse, totaling three hundred arrows, were soon shot empty.

But there were simply too many Xianbei people in front of him.

Using arrows alone, it was simply impossible to kill them all.

He put down the precious carved bow in his hand.

Duan Yu shook the reins of his warhorse, then vaulted and charged into the Shuochou River, casually taking down the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd hanging on the saddle.

"Big Brother Duan."

"Big Brother!"

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu both shouted anxiously, then followed Duan Yu and charged into the river water together.

Because it was spring, the water level of the Shuochou River was not high, and the deepest part of this ferry crossing was only waist-deep.

But excluding this ferry crossing, the river channels on both sides were becoming increasingly turbulent as they narrowed.

"The rest of you, guard the riverbank!"

Duan Yu turned back and gave a loud order.

It wasn't that he wanted to kill all the Xianbei people in front of him.

He wasn't a god; he couldn't do the impossible of one against ten thousand.

There were at least one or two hundred thousand Xianbei people within Mount Tanhan.

Even if a great fire could burn half of them to death.

But the remaining half would still be tens of thousands.

One thousand against tens of thousands, if it were normal times, it wouldn't be impossible.

It was just that the Xianbei people in front of him were crossing the river to save their lives.

Behind them was the raging fire that devoured human lives.

This situation was a desperate fight with their backs to the river; they would definitely fight to the death.

These tens of thousands of Xianbei people, even if they used human lives to fill the gap, could exhaust them to death.

Wang Rou had already been captured; there was no need to sacrifice more for a meaningless battle. ===== CHAPTER 262 =====
