Chapter 25: The Dust Settles

Lu Meng and Pei Yuanshao confronted each other in the middle of the two teams, one side was for survival, and the other side was a martial idiot, and the majestic momentum spread out around the two of them.

Although there are only two people facing each other now, it feels like two armies are facing each other to everyone. Although it is not as impressive as Wang Qing's iron-blooded momentum just now, the momentum of the two second-rate generals is still heavy in front of these cottage soldiers who have not undergone iron-blooded training.

Everyone looked at Pei Yuanshao and Lu Meng nervously. The two faced each other for only a moment, but it felt like days were long for everyone.

A moment later, the two suddenly shouted together, and then they swung their weapons violently at each other.

Pei Yuanshao held the mace obliquely with both hands, roaring again and again, as powerful as a bear roaring in the mountains and forests.

Lu Meng raised his big sword, and his momentum was as powerful as a tiger descending the mountain.

Sonorous! In the blink of an eye, the two staggered, and the two exchanged fierce battles for a round. The two immediately turned around and rushed towards each other.

Kill!! Before everyone could react, the two began to fight again.

The two sides have been fighting each other for more than 20 rounds without a win. Each blow is a hard-to-hard collision, and there is no technical content, but in fact, it is the most physical and willpower of both sides. This kind of confrontation is very dangerous, and victory and defeat are often the only difference between life and death.

The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but get enthusiastic, and they all raised their weapons and shouted loudly, and they didn't know what they were shouting.

Pei Yuanshao and Lu Meng became more and more excited the more they fought, the strength in their hands became heavier and heavier, and their moves became faster and faster. Lu Meng slashed out, and the momentum sank. At the last moment, Pei Yuanshao picked up the big knife with a mace, picked the blade aside, and then changed hands, and the mace swung out quickly, and its momentum was like thunder and lightning.

…………

The two knives exchanged sticks, and the fight was fierce. In the distance, I only saw the cold light flickering, and I only heard loud shouts.

The two have been battling each other for more than 100 rounds without a win. Just when everyone thought that this war would be endless, there was a sudden change on the battlefield.

It turned out that Lu Meng had been fighting for a day, and he had been fighting with Wang Qing for a while, so he was not strong at this time. When blocking, he was one line slower, and was directly smashed in the chest by Pei Yuanshao's mace. I saw him half-kneeling on the ground, his chest sunken down, and sticky blood foam spat out of his mouth, even mixed with some internal organ fragments.

Seeing this scene, the people and horses of Woniu Cottage suddenly shouted violently. They looked very excited.

Seeing this, Lu Meng's personal soldiers hurriedly rushed over. When the people in Woniu Cottage saw this, they were about to rush over, but Pei Yuanshao raised his hand to stop him, he knew that the other party was not coming at him.

"Big boss, don't die, we'll take you to a doctor, we will definitely be cured." Several pro-soldiers came to Lu Meng's side and helped him and said.

"No need, I know I can't do it anymore, I'm very happy to have a few of you here, it seems that I still have a good eye for people. When I'm dead, if you remember, just burn some sacrifices for the three of us at this time of year. After Lu Meng finished speaking, his head tilted and softened, and he fell into the arms of a pro-soldier.

"Big boss~" Seeing this, several pro-soldiers immediately cried.

"I will abide by the agreement, as long as you surrender, I will spare your life, if you want to defect to us, I will also treat you equally." Pei Yuanshao said to the others in Jinniuzhai.

"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!" The people in Jinniuzhai all laid down their weapons and wanted Pei Yuanshao to surrender.

"How many of you?" Pei Yuanshao said to the few of Lu Meng's personal soldiers, they were putting Lu Meng's body on the ground, taking off their coats and covering them.

"I hope that Pei Er's family can let us go down the mountain after burying the three masters, we are also tired, and we only hope to be an ordinary civilian in the future." Several pro-soldiers said, looking at Pei Yuanshao with expectant eyes.

"Okay, you're all good men, I promised." Pei Yuanshao also admired their loyalty, and listened to their request, how could he not agree.

Pei Yuanshao watched as several of his own soldiers collected Lu Meng's body and told them that they would bury him and his two younger brothers together tomorrow. However, Lu Wei only has his head left now, and his body has fallen off the cliff and cannot be found, so he can only ask the craftsman to make a wooden body, connect it together, and bury it with Lu Meng and Lu Zhong.

As for those men and horses who surrendered, Pei Yuanshao first collected their weapons, after all, there were many people, and they still had to be just in case, and then the soldiers of Woniu Cottage were guarded on both sides of the entrance of the camp, while waiting for the arrival of Wang Qing and others.

Wang Qing and the others were half an hour's walk behind Lu Meng, and they were already close to the entrance of the camp at this time, they thought there would be a fight, but when they walked in, they found that it was very quiet, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange.

At this time, Wang Qing had already guessed that the other party might have surrendered, but he did not relax his vigilance, he walked in front alone with a gun, and asked the soldiers who followed behind to pay attention to the movement ahead.

The unexpected attack did not come, and when Wang Qing and the others walked out of Canglong Ridge, they saw that both sides of the camp were full of people, some of them were acquaintances of the former Woniu Cottage, and some of them vaguely recognized that they had just fought with them for most of the day, and in the middle of the team, there was a bald strong man with a mace.

"Lao Pei, with you, you actually persuaded the people of Jinniuzhai to surrender, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy." Wang Qing came straight to the bald man and said with a laugh at him.

This bald strong man was Pei Yuanshao, he listened to Wang Qing's words, and said: "This is all the credit of Ziwu, if it wasn't for you who withstood their attacks before, and then planned to surround them, I wouldn't have been able to persuade them to surrender." ”

"It's not my credit alone, the soldiers have all contributed." Wang Qing excused himself, he knew that his merits were definitely indispensable, but he couldn't forget the soldiers who had been following him, and a qualified general must know that his merits were based on the sacrifice of his soldiers.

"Okay, I can't forget these brothers, when I get to the cottage, I will ask for credit for every soldier who participated in the battle." Pei Yuanshao also said solemnly.

"Lao Pei, why don't you see Lu Meng, he came up together." Wang Qing glanced around and didn't see Lu Meng's figure, so he asked.

"He's a man, fight me in a duel, and trade his own death for the chance to live for his men." Pei Yuanshao said with emotion.

"Life and death are fate, this is also his creation, let's go to their camp on the top of the mountain first." Wang Qing was afraid that Pei Yuanshao would continue to talk and affect morale, so he diverted the topic. And now that the Taurus Village has been broken by them, it is indeed time to receive the results.

"You're right, let's go and have a look. I heard that Jinniuzhai has been based here for several years, and there will definitely be no less collection if you want to come. Pei Yuanshao listened to Wang Qing's words, and hurriedly pulled him towards the direction of the camp on the top of the mountain, as for those soldiers, of course, they followed them.

"Wait a minute, Gude and Dong Hong are still on the mountain road behind, they need to be called over, and in addition, the wounded also need to be bandaged and treated." Wang Qing grabbed Pei Yuanshao and asked Liu Cheng, the personal guard, to lead two soldiers to pick up Gude and them.

Almost all of the people on Gude's side were the first to stick to the camp with Wang Qing, everyone was injured, and they must not be allowed to stay on the mountain road for one night, and they need to be quickly picked up and have some food.

"Lao Pei, you take someone to the camp first, and help us prepare some meals by the way, we have been hungry for a day, and we feel that we can eat a cow now, I will wait for Gude and them to come over and go to the camp together." Wang Qing said to Pei Yuanshao again.

Pei Yuanshao thought for a while, too, when he came to the camp of Jinniuzhai, there may be other people left behind, who need to be dealt with, killed or collected, as well as some grain and grass in Jinniuzhai, as well as gold and silver, etc., all need to be taken care of, which requires time and manpower, and people have to be arranged to patrol and keep vigil at night, after all, so many people and horses in Jinniuzhai have surrendered, so they have to be guarded.

So, Pei Yuanshao took most of the men and horses to the camp on the top of the mountain, leaving a team of 100 people on Wang Qing's side. Take a closer look at this team of 100 people, they are all the original people of Woniu Cottage. Although Pei Yuanshao knew that the people of Jinniuzhai must be extremely in awe of Wang Qing, with Wang Qing here, they would be more deferential. However, considering that it was too late today, I brought these new recruits to the camp first, and then made unified arrangements tomorrow.

Wang Qing looked at the soldiers who were following him, and found that they all had awe and worship in their eyes, this was because they had found the general process of this expedition at this time, that is, this person in front of him, led more than 100 people, almost single-handedly, defeated the Jinniu Village, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and gathered more than 1,000 people. , This world is originally advocating force, worshipping the strong, Wang Qing's force they have seen, as for the record, this time the Taurus Village battle, let them worship Wang Qing deeply.

Wang Qing naturally knew why the soldiers looked at him like this, but he knew that he had already followed the lord on the road to fight for hegemony, and he could only advance and not retreat. Their strength is still very weak, there are only one or two thousand soldiers and horses, and the goal is still far away, and the enemy will only get stronger and stronger in the future, and he can't relax. However, he is not timid, he is confident in himself, and he is not inferior to anyone. At the same time, it is also the confidence of his lord Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu, as the most outstanding successor of the generations of Qianlong Village, whether it is his skills, knowledge and ability, he has become the only person that Wang Qing and other members of Qianlong Village currently respect.

When Wang Qing thought of this, the gaze in his eyes became even more determined, he must become the sharpest knife in the hands of the lord, remove all obstacles for the lord, and assist him to reach the top of the world.

Of course, at present, it is more important to deal with the matter in front of you first. He waited for almost half an hour, and before he could wait for Gude and them, he couldn't help but think that they might have too many wounded soldiers, so he said to the soldiers behind him.

"Everyone, come with me, and go to the other side to pick up the injured brothers."

"Yes!"

A group of people with torches, under the leadership of Wang Qing, once again entered Canglong Ridge. However, this time it was not to kill, but to save people.
