Chapter 967: Han crossbows and the death of Beigong Boyu! [2]
Xiutu Marsh.
Only when the rainy season comes every year does water accumulate here.
But with the erratic weather in recent years, Xiutu Marsh has been dry most of the time.
But this year, the entire Liangzhou has had favorable weather, which seems to form a sharp contrast with the climate of the Great Han, and this has also allowed Xiutu Marsh to regain its past vitality.
The wild beasts in the desert have also begun to gather here again.
The water source accumulated from Xiutu Marsh flows along Wuwei and Xuanwei, nourishing the land on both sides of the Lu River again.
There are rumors and folk songs saying that it is precisely because Duan Yu came to Liangzhou that Liangzhou has had such favorable weather.
At this time, the sound of hooves thundered on the moist land of Xiutu Marsh.
Beigong Boyu, fleeing all the way from Wuwei City, led the Huangzhong Yi Cong all the way north toward the direction of Xiutu Marsh.
On the road where the Huangzhong Yi Cong fled, the special landform formed by the Precambrian granite gneiss, Ordovician-Silurian quartz sandstone, and quartzite interbedded layers rising high on both sides.
The sound of galloping hooves echoed endlessly between the Kanas landforms on both sides, which were like mountain valleys.
After entering Xiutu Marsh, the Huangzhong Yi Cong split into several groups and fled.
Coupled with the fleeing Hu cavalry, the Xiutu Marsh was full of troops at this time.
And not far behind Beigong Boyu.
Duan Yu took the lead in chasing the Huangzhong Yi Cong led by Beigong Boyu.
Due to the 【Blood Battle in All Directions】 entry.
Duan Yu didn't know when it would be triggered.
And 【Blood Battle in All Directions】 was different from the previous 【Moving Forward】.
【Moving Forward】 would only trigger a strand of energy at the very front of the swinging war halberd.
As long as the accompanying cavalry followed behind, there was no problem.
But 【Blood Battle in All Directions】 was triggered in all eight directions around the body without any dead ends.
This resulted in the fact that as long as he used the war halberd, there could be no friendly forces within a diameter of a hundred paces around his body.
Therefore, the Flying Bear cavalry and personal guard cavalry led by Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Zhao Yun, and Zhao Feng could only follow from a hundred paces away.
Coupled with the speed of the Red Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast, the Flying Bear cavalry behind soon opened up a distance from Duan Yu.
Xia Yu had said before that the terrain in Xiutu Marsh was complex.
It was entirely because this was all Kanas landform.
If one ventured in during the dry and rainless season, it was very likely to be trapped to death inside.
Only when Xiutu Marsh had a lot of water could one walk out of Xiutu Marsh along the Lu River formed by the water flow.
Chasing from Wuwei City to Xiutu Marsh, more than half an hour had passed.
"Stop!"
Tie Shitou, who had been chasing behind Duan Yu for a while, raised his arm when he stood at a fork in the road formed by shale that looked like a dirt mountain.
The personal guard cavalry and Flying Bear cavalry behind him all stopped.
Tie Shitou on the horse frowned and looked at the directions with hoof prints on both sides, feeling lost for a moment.
"This..."
Tie Shitou scratched his head and looked at Wang Hunu beside him, complaining: "What kind of place is this, why are there so many forks."
They had already encountered two forks in the road ahead.
In order to correctly find Duan Yu's position, Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng had already split their troops once.
With hoof prints everywhere, Tie Shitou didn't know which direction Duan Yu had gone.
"Split the troops."
Wang Hunu pointed to the road on the right and said: "Anyway, it's either this one or that one." ===== CHAPTER 969 =====
