Chapter 272: Engagement
Zhang Xutuo was also overjoyed to see Bai Lang's bravery, most of the soldiers under his command were united by righteousness, and some wanted to serve the national court - but mainly for his personal moral charm as a commander. Although Bai Lang felt that Zhang Xutuo was definitely a national soldier, he really did not come for Zhang Xutuo's loyalty.
There is no need to show it out, Bai Lang directly accepted Zhang Xutuo's arrangement of his position - at the moment, Bai Lang can only be a first-class lieutenant and lead dozens of cavalry into battle, Zhang Xutuo also wants to balance the forces under his own hands, of course, it is impossible for Bai Lang to lead the cavalry as soon as he comes.
Zhang Xutuo was preparing to lead more than 10,000 elite soldiers to set off, and take the initiative to attack the thieves in Wagangzhai outside Xingyang City, and he must not let the thieves in Wagangzhai touch Xingyang City - otherwise it will be difficult to do things in this world. Since Wang Bo's uprising of "Death Song of Liaodong Waves", the world is full of thieves who are in trouble. In addition, Yang Xuan felt chaos back then, and the courtiers of the Great Sui garrison in some places became thieves.
Thanks to Zhang Xutuo's expedition to the east and west, he fought hard for several years to stabilize Henan Province. For example, among today's famous anti-thieves, such as Zuo Xiaoyou Lu Mingyue's generation, he sought peace for him, and Wang Bo, who was the first to make trouble, was also beaten by him only to be spared, and he was repeatedly defeated and threatened Wagangzhai in the heart of the Great Sui.
Now that he has almost finished reorganizing his military horses, and the grain, grass and weapons that should be replenished have also been replenished, he is waiting for the decisive battle in the city in the next few days - Bai Lang happened to come at this point in time, which can be regarded as Bai Lang's luck. Although it was an official army of the Great Sui, Zhang Xutuo couldn't take out a suitable set of Mingguang armor for Bai Lang for a while, so he had no choice but to let Bai Lang wear the leather armor he bought himself.
The white wave belt is a ranger, not a disciplined armor and riding equipment - the most armored riding equipment in the world is in the hands of Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou.
On the third day of Bai Lang's surrender, Zhang Xutuo's army set off, and Bai Lang and the rangers explored and wandered first, and released far away to judge the strength of the Wagang village army and expel the Wagang rangers to ensure their own marching route. Bai Lang is quite familiar with this kind of thing, but he just took his new subordinates to kill people.
I'm afraid it's not easy to let Bai Lang go to scout, but strangling the opponent's rangers is really a very easy thing for Bai Lang. This man also brought two horses with him when he went into battle, because he held a double halberd with a double iron shovel hanging from his waist, plus the leather armor on his body and his own weight, this kind of horse was really difficult - at least two hundred and fifty pounds.
Fortunately, his horse was not dressed in horse armor, otherwise he would have died after running away one day. Sometimes Bai Lang felt that he was about to fall into battle, and when the time came, wearing heavy armor and holding a double halberd to break into battle, it seemed that the impact power was no worse than that of riding a horse? Now it was very easy for him to rob and kill those rangers released by Wagangzhai, he handed over his iron shovel and a divination halberd to his subordinates to take with him, and he even took off his leather armor and only held a long halberd to kill.
With a weight of less than 200 catties, he could still run fast with his war horse, so the cavalry of the non-Zhang Xutuo department that appeared in front of him were stabbed off his horse by him, as simple as eating chicken. Even if someone released an arrow, it was also dropped by Bai Lang, and he couldn't hit his body. The heads of Bai Lang's killing were all given to his subordinates, and he didn't take any of them, and his subordinates also knew that this Shangguan was purely enjoying the joy of killing, and there was no lack of awe while worshipping.
The courage of the white waves, in the eyes of these subordinates, it is true and unmistakable. No matter how many rangers the other party has, he will ride alone and kill in a few breaths, as simple as eating and drinking. Moreover, Bai Lang is still a broad-handed, and he can actually give them first-level skills.
The rangers are also to be taken back at night, and Bai Lang has been captured almost every day - the innate master of the art of looking at qi, it is not easy to find popularity? However, Wagangzhai already occupies most of Xingyang County, and it will take over from Xingyang City in just two days.
More than 10,000 officers and troops of the Great Sui Dynasty stood up in the village, and more than ten miles in front of them was the Wagangzhai army. Early the next morning, Zhang Xu Tuobu fought against Wagangzhai in the lower formation. Bai Lang was on the right flank of the cavalry, and he did not mount his horse but stood in front of the formation with his horse in full armor - no cavalry had yet been ordered to attack, so most of the cavalry dismounted to save their horsepower.
Bai Lang looked at the military formation in front of him, he took a deep breath, and the long-lost white tiger military qi spewed out again—it's a pity that ordinary people can't see it, unless they have cultivated well. The two armies took over, and there was a terrible and fierce aura between heaven and earth, and even the sun in the sky, the sunlight became pale and not so warm.
What's more, it is winter at this time, and a cold sense is diffused in all directions. Zhang Xutuo's army was mostly foot soldiers, and the big shield and spear advanced forward. The Wagangzhai army that engaged in the battle was personally led by the big dragon leader Zhai Rang, and the number was much more than that of Zhang Xutuo. However, as soon as he took over, he couldn't hold his foot, and he was pushed back.
"This Wagangzhai is ten times more dish! When you come up, you will retreat step by step, and if you go on like this, at most a pillar of incense will collapse. Where is Cheng Biting Jin? Where is the three-plate axe? Where is the Demon King of the Great Demon Kingdom?" Bai Lang led the horse and slowly advanced to avoid being out of touch with the Chinese army. Now that the Chinese army is advancing forward, both flanks of Wagangzhai have to be filled in the middle to avoid being completely destroyed.
Bai Lang saw the two big banners of "Zhai" and "Li" fluttering in the Chinese army, and felt that Li Mi's control over the army was quite strong, and he had only retreated and had not collapsed until now. "How long has he only been in Wagangzhai? To be able to do this, it is really a friend who once followed Yang Xuangan to make trouble. I've really seen big scenes. ”
The Wagang army seems to have lost the battle, although it was really as expected by the old thug Bai Lang that they began to flee in a moment of a pillar of incense, but they were not killed too much by the Great Sui official army led by Zhang Xutuo - the skills of these thieves to run away are simply full, and the armor on their bodies can be picked up and thrown away in three times and five divided by two, even if the knife in their hands is still held tightly and knows that it is still useful.
Zhang Xutuo's style of play is also quite fierce, what Bai Lang saw was that Zhang Xutuo was in the front army, and he personally ascended first, and Luo Shixin followed closely behind to break through Wagangzhai in front of him, followed by the high morale of the Great Sui officials and soldiers rushed into the slash and kill. Zhang Xutuo retreated to command after ascending first, and Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong continued to tear apart each other's defenses - of course, there was no defense now, just need to lead the army to chase and kill.
There has been no order for Bai Lang to chase and kill the cavalry, it seems that Zhang Xutuo also has his own ideas, and he still retains the reserve team in such a smooth situation. "Martial arts masters, I remember that there are many masters in Wagangzhai, I guess it's really useless in the military array, right?" Bai Lang thought, but he still felt that it was because these "masters" were not high enough in martial arts......
