The Golden Age Chapter 999: Death restricted area
When the team arrived at Heishuibo without stopping, it really took two days. When they arrived at this place of death, Qin Xiao finally understood why the people on the prairie were so confused about this place.
At noon, it was snowy, but looking into the distance, I saw a faint mist floating on the top of the swamp. The surrounding area was covered by snow, but there was a large area in the middle of the snow melted, and the eyes were dry. The vines and thorns are an elephant of decline.
Achiluo is quite familiar with this area, and even drew a map specifically for Qin Xiao on the snow.
Heishuibo is a hundred li in a radius, fifty or sixty miles in front of the horizontal direction. It is completely a natural barrier. According to Achiluo, many people once wanted to find a way in this black water. But in the end, they were all buried in it. If it were not for good luck, Achiluo would have become a swamp dead soul.
There are no tribes inhabiting near the death swamp. Going east, there are tribes of Buliuda people stationed. Going west is the area where the Hegu people often move. Therefore, if you want to bypass the swamp, you are likely to be The enemy found that the so-called surprise attack plan went bankrupt instantly.
To kill Iron Mountain by surprise, the only chance is to walk through the death swamp.
Because everyone knows that the death swamp is an insurmountable moat, so if you can pass through this place, you can be surprised.
Only then did the cavalry understand that they were going to pass through the death swamp next.
The legend of the death swamp, everyone knows, although all the prairie cavalry are brave, but seeing the dead place ahead, many people still have fear in their hearts.
"You are all listening." Tutu Tutun pulled out the knife and said in a loud voice: "This decisive battle with Heguren, the victory or defeat lies with you. I will lead you through this piece of death. The land, roundabout to kill Heguren’s heart, put Hegu’s female wolf in a cage. As long as we catch the female wolf, the enemy of Luozhishan will retreat without a fight. This battle , We will win the victory, so your enemy is not the He Bone Man, but the swamp in front of you, through this swamp, we will win."
The soldiers are silent. Everyone knows that the swamp in front of them seems more terrifying than He Guren.
Qin Xiao rode a lion buckle, urged him to move forward, approaching Detooth Tutun, scanning the cavalry, and then said solemnly: "I know that your hearts are full of fear, but I believe that for the brothers of Luozhishan, You will be fearless. Although this swamp is called the land of death, it will definitely be conquered in front of the brave real feather warriors." Looking at Tuya Tutun, Tuya Tutun nodded, and said:" We are going to be divided into 30 teams, each with one hundred and fifty people, and I need thirty warriors to walk in the front to find the way. Whoever has the courage, stand up!"
The cavalry looked at each other. Seeing that the soldiers were still hesitating, they raised their arms and said, "I'm the first warrior who dares to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry finally raised their hands one after another, rushing to say: "Tutun, I am willing to explore the way ahead."
Tuya Tutun saw everyone raising their hands, and was very satisfied. He chose thirty people to go out. Qin Xiao said: "Listen, everyone. These thirty warriors are ranked first. People followed one by one, stepping on the footprints in front of them." Turning over and dismounting, motioned for a daring warrior to come forward, and said loudly: "Come here to win!"
Someone sent a rope that had been prepared a long time ago. Qin Xiao took the rope and tied it firmly around the person's waist. Then he took the other end of the rope and said: "The dead man walked in the front to find the way. The second and third people must be strong men with great strength. They hold the rope together. Once the dead man falls into the swamp, you immediately pull the rope from behind to pull him out." He also commanded: "Although around the swamp, You can't see the miasma floating, but just in case, everyone finds a coarse cloth, wets it with water, and covers the nose and mouth, so as to prevent the miasma from invading."
"The water in the water bag is very precious, how can it be wasted?" someone said loudly.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "It's okay, if you are reluctant to drink, you can also pee."
At first, everyone was still very nervous, and Qin Xiao burst into laughter when he said this.
Everyone has dismounted and quickly divided into thirty teams. They each took cloth towels. Drinking water was precious. No one could bear it. Many people grabbed the snow on the ground and wiped it on the coarse cloth, but where it could melt in a moment Open, in desperation, only wet a small piece of water, some rough guys actually did according to Qin Xiao's words, directly soaked urine on the coarse cloth.
Thirty dead men walked in the front as pathfinders, with ropes tied around their waists. Each team selected two strong men to hold the rope behind. Everyone knew that this marshland was extraordinary. Who dares to take it lightly, follow one by one, and keep a distance.
Qin Xiao’s team, Tuya Tutun’s words must do it, to go as the first willing to die, was finally persuaded by everyone, a dead soldier walked in front, Tuya Tutun and Qin Xiao followed behind, both of them pulling the rope.
Military conditions are fierce, and the team did not delay. After preparations were made, they immediately set off for the swamp.
All the teams avoid the middle area and move forward from the left and right sides of the swamp. There are more than a dozen teams each. The dead soldiers are cautiously exploring the way step by step, and the teams behind are walking slowly like long snakes. .
It didn’t take long for Qin Xiao to smell a pungent smell even though his mouth and nose were covered with coarse cloth. His five senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people. He didn’t seem to feel anything when he saw other people, knowing it was himself. The sense of smell is too sensitive.
There is no doubt that although there is no miasma in this area, there is still some miasma spreading from the middle area to the periphery, but it is not easy to see with the naked eye.
However, everyone is covered with mouth and nose, even if there is some miasma, it is difficult to hurt people.
Suddenly heard a horse neigh, and then heard a cry from over there: "Be careful!"
Qin Xiao's heart was stunned, and he followed the sound, but saw that in the middle of a group of horses not far away, two horses suddenly went mad, and even ran away with their hoofs regardless of the cavalry's pulling. This horse has always been Following the crowd, a horse’s condition can easily cause other war horses to gaffe. The two war horses are very wild and leave the team. The prairie cavalry treats their horses as if they are alive. To control the horses to go crazy, Qin Xiao was taken aback, and sternly said: "Don't move, don't break up the formation!"
It suddenly occurred to him that although careful arrangements were made for all the cavalry, and the cavalry covered their mouths and noses to prevent the invasion of miasma, the thousands of horses did not take preventive measures.
The miasma in the marginal area should not cause much damage to the horses, but the smell of these horses is much more sensitive than ordinary people, and Qin Xiao can smell a somewhat uncomfortable pungent smell, so naturally these horses You can smell it too.
Heishuibo is a dead swamp that has been formed after countless years. Birds and beasts dared not approach it. It can also be seen that the miasma here is extremely powerful.
Warhorses smell such an abnormal smell, even if it does not cause fatal damage to their bodies, it is enough to make them uncharacteristically.
"They are in it!"
Someone exclaimed.
Other war horses were affected by this, and they all felt that the situation was not right. Many war horses with fierce temperament had left the team and ran wildly with their hoofs. They wanted to escape from this area. Without the danger of the swamp, just thinking of grabbing his own horse, the formation became messy.
Qin Xiao knew that if he couldn't control it in time, his contempt would only get worse and worse. He yelled a few times while the horse screamed, but his voice was also drowned. Luckily at the dantian, he shouted sharply: "Here is Swamp, don’t move, hold your horse, don’t chase."
At this time, there are already seven or eight horses in the swamp with their masters, and while struggling desperately, some companions have come forward to rescue, but this swamp is like a mechanism under the cloth, and it may be okay to just walk through some places. , But as long as the movement is slightly larger, it will immediately collapse, and some soldiers who were originally to save people are also trapped in the swamp.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao's voice was loud and unusual, and it spread far away. Many people nearby, including Tuya Tutun, were surprised. They didn't expect Qin Xiao to shout so loudly.
Everyone heard Qin Xiao’s voice and realized that they were in the swamp and did not dare to act rashly. When there were more than a dozen horses scurrying, the cavalry did not dare to chase them, and watched the horses fall into the swamp. You can't even if you want rescue, all of them shed tears.
More soldiers feared that their mounts would go mad. They desperately grabbed their horses and quickly pacified them. Fortunately, these cavalry have been with the horses since they were young, and they know how to pacify the horses. Most of the horses are also used by themselves. The owner calmed down.
Suddenly there was a wailing sound not far away, Qin Xiao turned his head and looked over, only to see a war horse not far away was deep in the swamp, all four horse legs were submerged in it, and there was a real feather on the side. The cavalry had also been swallowed by the swamp, and had reached the chest.
Not far away, a soldier desperately tried to rush forward to rescue him, but he was dragged by his companion and watched the soldier slip into it a little bit.
Qin Xiao's face sank, and without hesitation, he turned and rushed towards the swamp. Tuya Tutun hadn’t reacted yet. Qin Xiao had already rushed into the swamp like a cheetah. Tutun was taken aback. He knew that Tag was surprised. Ming Tang people value it very much, and especially let this person lead the implementation of this plan. If this person loses here, Mo said the plan will not be implemented smoothly, and will not be able to explain to Tagg afterwards.
But the marshland is clearly a dead zone, and even if he recovers at this moment, he can't go to rescue him.
The cavalry saw Qin Xiao rushing through the swamp as fast as a cheetah. Many people showed horror. They thought that the swamp was clearly a cannibalistic man. Is this young man crazy?
Qin Xiao already felt his feet sinking down, but his speed was as fast as lightning. He hadn't fallen in yet. His feet had left, and he suddenly stepped down a little bit. Taking advantage of the momentum, he drifted past, and his whole person has fallen on the horseback. The warhorse sank and sank faster, but Qin Xiao had already probing his hand to grab the arm of the soldier who was trapped in the swamp, and pulled it up. The soldier's body was pulled up little by little, but the warhorse quickly sank. Qin Xiao fiercely roared, like pulling a carrot, pulling the soldier out of the mud, and then screaming again, threw the soldier out.
The soldier flew out like a ball, and landed on the side of a group of soldiers with a "poof". The soldiers stretched out their hands and pulled the man to a safe place. Looking at Qin Xiao, the whole body of the horse has been swallowed. Qin Xiao was a little on horseback, floating out like an eagle, several ups and downs, had returned to the edge of Tuya Tutun.
There was a moment of silence all around, and suddenly someone cheered, and for a while, everyone shouted, shouting neatly, yelling "Atulu", Qin Xiao didn’t know what they were yelling. With a look of surprise, he said: "They praise you for being a hero, a real hero!"
