Chapter 127

"You..." Pei Yuanqing looked at Yuwen Chengdu, opening his mouth to say something, but he couldn't get it out. Was he going to scold the other party for stealing his merit?

"Kid! Today I will teach you a principle: on the battlefield, you must be quick-eyed and fast-handed; otherwise, even a cooked duck will fly away."

Yuwen Chengdu's originally cold face also revealed a stiff smile; of course, he was also joking.

He was arrogant and high-minded, and he generally didn't look up to ordinary people, but in Yuwen Chengdu's eyes, this kid Pei Yuanqing was no worse than he was when he was young.

Same personality, same fearlessness, and of course, the same strength.

If he weren't a few years older than the other party, he might not necessarily be stronger than him.

For Pei Yuanqing, Yuwen Chengdu rarely felt a bit of appreciation—appreciation for the other party's personality.

"Kill!"

Just as Pei Yuanqing was still a bit annoyed at Yuwen Chengdu for stealing his merit, the others had already charged into Wang Shicheng's army.

Each of them howled like wolves entering a flock of sheep.

These people all slaughtered toward the officers in the army, each of them like a god of slaughter. The weakest among them had reached the peak of second-rate. With more than thirty people led by Yuwen Chengdu, they advanced in an arrowhead formation, and within thirty breaths, they had pierced through the army.

Then they turned back again to pierce through it once more.

After a few rounds of piercing, this ten thousand-man elite force of Wang Shicheng completely collapsed.

Countless soldiers threw away their armor and fled in all directions in a frenzy.

A ten thousand-man elite force couldn't even stop Yuwen Chengdu and his thirty men; after a quarter of an hour of charging, they were routed.

If outsiders knew about this, they would probably be in an uproar.

"Haha! Satisfying!"

Covered in blood, his pitch-black armor dyed blood-red like a demon god from hell, Pei Yuanqing licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed loudly.

The others also had similar smiles on their faces; this satisfying battle allowed them to release the frustration in their hearts to their heart's content.

Previously at the Jingnian Zen Temple, their strength couldn't help the Prefect much, and they could only watch from the sidelines, which was quite frustrating.

Now, Wang Shicheng's army had become their tool for venting their anger.

After a round of slaughter, the number of officers and soldiers who died at their hands reached a full five hundred, and most of the others trampled on each other and attacked one another; the estimated casualties reached three thousand.

Those who truly escaped back probably didn't even number three thousand; after all, some soldiers, once they fled, would not return to the army.

In chaotic times, being a soldier is not a good choice; good men do not become soldiers.

Not everyone is like the army of Wu Jun, which has such excessive benefits that the people of Wu Jun fight to join the army.

In Wu Jun, the status of a soldier is quite high.

Especially in local rural areas, if a family has someone who can join the army, that family will instantly become the object of envy for others in the village.

"You've all vented, now that you've vented, let's go."

"It's getting late, we need to enter the city quickly."

Su Fan looked at Pei Yuanqing and the others, who were radiating a bloody scent, and said with slight disgust: "Hurry up and clean yourselves up; it's pungent."

"Hehe!"

The group laughed.

"Big Brother, this army belongs to Wang Shichong, right?"

Don't look at Pei Yuanqing as a reckless man on weekdays; he was at least a disciple of a military family and was quite smart. After the battle ended, he thought about it and realized something.

They hadn't left the territory of Luoyang yet, and the only person who could possess such an elite force was probably Wang Shichong.

"Not bad, it seems you can also use your brain."

Su Fan looked at the former with surprise; he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fast.

"It really is Wang Shichong!"

"This guy has been sending people to win over my father, wanting to subdue my father, but my father has never agreed."

"Big Brother, why don't we return to Luoyang City now, kill our way in, finish off this old man, and occupy Luoyang?"

Pei Yuanqing said excitedly, trying to incite him.

"You kid, you haven't had enough fun yet?"

"You still want to fight, counterattack Luoyang? What are you thinking?" Su Fan was speechless; he didn't expect this guy to be a war maniac.

He wanted to fight at every turn, and even wanted to counterattack Luoyang and kill Wang Shichong.

Of course, if you asked whether their group had the strength to do so, the answer was definitely yes.

However, wanting to kill Wang Shichong in Luoyang City was not that easy.

As Wang Shichong's base camp, it was really difficult to kill him.

After all, even if his strength was inferior to yours, if he hid, you would find it very difficult to find him; Luoyang City was too big.

Su Fan could release his divine sense, but even if he scanned like that for a month, he might not necessarily find this person.

And more importantly, once he really did this, I'm afraid that without saying a word, all the warlords in the world would immediately be extremely vigilant against him and the Yuwen Clan.

Maybe all the warlords would even unite to attack him first.

He would be breaking the rules; you can defeat those warlords on the battlefield, but choosing to assassinate them changes the nature of things.

In the struggle for hegemony among warlords, when have you ever seen anyone use this trick?

Even if Su Fan wasn't afraid of the warlords of the world joining forces, it would still be very troublesome. Since he wanted to unify the world and obtain more humanity luck, he naturally hoped for the simplest method: to sweep across the world with the most powerful force.

This was convenient, and it could also minimize losses as much as possible, allowing more people to survive.

And as long as he was given time, he had this confidence.

"Let's go! Let's leave Luoyang City to Wang Shichong for the time being; one day, we will return."

Su Fan turned his head and looked behind him.

Luoyang, the imperial capital of the dynasty during the Sui and Tang periods; in the future, when he established a dynasty, he might not necessarily choose Luoyang as the capital.

But he still wouldn't underestimate this city.

"Big Brother, are we just going to let him go like this? He sent people to ambush us!"

Pei Yuanqing was unhappy.

"Hehe! Didn't you all just crush his ten thousand elite soldiers? Can even three thousand of these ten thousand elite soldiers truly return?"

"Wang Shichong's losses are the ones that are great; he'll probably be so heartbroken he won't be able to sleep for several days."

Su Fan spat; this guy was unforgiving even when he was in the right. He had already beaten the other party like this, and he still wanted to give them another slap.

He was simply a bully among bullies.

If Wang Shichong knew about this, he would probably regret not sending people to kill Pei Renji and his son sooner.

But Pei Renji's days ahead would probably not be easy.

In the original timeline, Wang Shichong pulled the former into his camp and even reused him and his son.

But now it was different; Pei Yuanqing followed him, and even if Wang Shichong were magnanimous, he probably wouldn't trust Pei Renji.

Pei Renji being caught between Wang Shichong and Wagang would be difficult to think about in the future.

However, with his strength, if he really couldn't hold Luokou, he could just take a group of confidants and leave for Wu Jun; it wouldn't be too difficult.
