Chapter 150 Wang Bodang, you son of a bitch!
Lu Xiao didn't have many men, and with the battle lines stretched out, even a pursuit wouldn't be able to kill everyone.
Once Lü Xiao is unable to catch up and has no choice but to retreat, they can send out troops to sound the retreat and summon the routed soldiers back!
"Close the gates!"
The order was issued immediately, as if it were a mountain.
The heavy gate, mounted on the gate tower, suddenly plummeted down with unstoppable force due to the action of the mechanism!
"Clang!"
Dust billowed up, and the earth seemed to tremble.
That massive iron gate stood like an insurmountable chasm.
This completely isolated the city from the outside world, and also cut off the last chance for the fleeing soldiers to survive.
The defeated soldiers of Wagang, who were about to reach the gate of the village and could even see the faces of their comrades on the city wall, were completely dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.
"Open the door! Open the door now!"
"Your Majesty! It's us! Let us in!"
After a brief silence came desperate cries, curses, and pleas, like a volcanic eruption.
Wang Junke and Xie Yingdeng were initially stunned as they watched this heartless scene.
It then turned into unbelievable shock, and was finally swallowed up by a bone-chilling cold and a sense of betrayal.
Wang Junke, in particular, was trembling as he gripped the longsword.
He and Wang Bodang had always been very close; they were sworn brothers who had kowtowed, drunk blood wine, and sworn an oath to heaven!
But now, at this critical moment of life and death, the other party actually watched helplessly as Lü Xiao chased him to the gate of the stronghold.
Instead of offering assistance, they closed the village gates without hesitation.
"Brother Junke! The situation is critical, and I have no choice but to close the gates to protect Wagang!"
Wang Bodang's voice came from the high city wall.
"Listen to me! Scatter and flee immediately! Lu Xiao's forces are limited; he cannot pursue all of you at once!"
"Wang Bodang! You son of a bitch! Is that even human language you're speaking?"
Xie Yingdeng understood completely at that moment, and immediately started yelling and cursing at the city wall.
Meanwhile, the Wagang generals below the city, seeing no hope of entering the stronghold, had nowhere to turn for help.
They fled desperately towards the forests and fields on both sides of the village gate, like headless flies.
"Hahaha!"
Lu Xiao led his troops to within an arrow's reach, watching the spectacular scene unfold before him.
These so-called sworn brothers of Wagang are truly fascinating!
Before Lü Xiao had even truly reached the gates of the stronghold, he had already frightened these sworn brothers, who usually called each other brothers and were extremely loyal, into closing the city gates tightly.
Especially Wang Junke and Xie Yingdeng, the two main figures who attacked him last time.
They were even locked out by their brothers like discarded sacks, left to fend for themselves.
However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense.
What brotherhood could there be among the forty-six friends of Jia Liu Lou?
This drama of brothers betraying each other is truly captivating.
This trip today was definitely worthwhile.
Meanwhile, Wang Junke and Xie Yingdeng, who were locked outside the gate, realized that there was no hope of entering the village.
Without further hesitation, the two split up and fled in two different directions, desperately spurring their horses to escape!
"Chase!"
A cold glint flashed in Lü Xiao's eyes.
He couldn't get into Wagang Village for the time being, but he was absolutely unwilling to let his two main targets leave alive!
Looking at the green figure that was faintly visible among the trees not far ahead, Lü Xiao took down the Treasure Carved Bow again and drew an Eagle Feather Arrow from the quiver.
The next moment, the fingers that were strumming the strings loosened slightly.
"Whoosh!"
"Pfft!"
A dull thud sounded as a sharp weapon pierced flesh.
Wang Junke, who was fleeing for his life and looking back in terror from time to time, felt a piercing pain in his back.
He groaned and tumbled off his galloping warhorse.
His personal guards and the routed Wagang soldiers were terrified at the sight and dared not linger.
They hurried past them, not daring to look back even once, only concerned with their own escape.
Immediately afterwards, the unsettling sound of horses' hooves rose slowly and deliberately from behind.
Wang Junke turned his head slowly and laboriously, and what came into view was Lü Xiao's figure.
Upon seeing this, Wang Junke's last shred of hope vanished.
He closed his eyes resignedly, without even moving his lips.
He won't beg for mercy; that would be pointless and only add to the humiliation.
He only wanted to die quickly.
However, the expected halberd or blade did not fall.
He only heard the faint sound of the bowstring being drawn back and the sharp whistling of the arrow piercing the air.
"puff!"
The arrow struck him precisely, yet still avoided his vital organs.
Then, the sound of horses' hooves rang out again, gradually fading into the distance.
"Big brother, no... we shouldn't kill that guy!"
Pei Yuanqing asked, his face full of doubt.
He could see it clearly; Lü Xiao's archery skills were terrible, and Wang Junke was obviously still alive.
"Kid, you don't understand."
Yuwen Chenglong, who was standing to the side, wiped his face with his blood-stained hands and took over the conversation.
"Your Highness's archery skills are superb; let the arrow fly for a while!"
He was quick-witted and probably figured out Lü Xiao's intentions.
Killing Wang Junke directly would certainly be satisfying, but it would be too easy on him and might even unite the remaining Wagang generals in their hatred of the enemy.
But if Wang Junke is left severely injured and on the verge of death, and left right under the nose of Wagangzhai, then the problem is thrown back to Wagangzhai.
If Wagangzhai doesn't come to the rescue, Wang Junke will die outside.
Then Li Mi, Wang Bodang, and others would be utterly disgraced for abandoning their brothers and refusing to help those in distress.
In the future, who will dare to wholeheartedly risk their lives for them?
If they come to the rescue, hey, that'll be quite a show.
Wang Junke was locked out by his own brother today and almost lost his life, but he has miraculously survived.
How could he not harbor deep resentment and hatred towards Wang Bodang and Li Mi?
Once this thorn is planted, life inside Wagang Village will become quite interesting from now on.
The generals distrusted each other and lived in the shadow of distrust.
This would likely be a greater and more lasting blow to Wagang than killing Wang Junke directly.
Once the people of Wagang Village confirmed that Lü Xiao had left, they immediately led their troops out of the village to search for Wang Junke and the others.
Before long, Wang Bodang learned of Wang Junke's whereabouts and rushed over.
"Brother, how are you? Hang in there!"
Wang Bo stepped forward and kept speaking to Wang Junke.
At this moment, Wang Junke's face was ashen due to excessive blood loss, and his consciousness was already somewhat blurred.
But when she felt someone touch her, she opened her eyes with difficulty and extremely slowly.
He opened his eyes and saw that the person who came was Wang Bodang. A mouthful of blood welled up in his throat.
"You despicable person...you traitor!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Bodang's heart tightened.
"Brother, your injuries are serious. Don't say anything more; let's talk about everything after you've recovered!"
He grabbed Wang Junke's hand that was pointing at him and interrupted her in a deep voice.
however.
When he saw the hatred in Wang Junke's eyes, his heart sank.
