Chapter 519: Falling Apart

Bai Lang's troops were putting out the fire in the city, but he just gathered more than ten cavalrymen who followed him, "Tell Governor Liu that I will follow Mengde to break the thief." He ordered his military officer, and then put on armor and held weapons and rode a warhorse and ran. In Cao's camp, six generals led CaoCao's troops and advanced rapidly under CaoCao's urging.

Let's say Dong Zhuo went to Xingyang, and Administrator Xu Rong came to meet him. Li Ru said: "The Prime Minister has just abandoned Luoyang, and we must guard against pursuers. We can teach Xu Rong to ambush troops near the mountain dock outside Xingyang city. If there are troops chasing, let them pass; wait until we defeat them here, and then intercept and cover them. Let those who come later dare not chase again." Zhuo followed his plan and ordered Lu Bu to lead elite troops to block the rear. Bu was walking, and CaoCao's army caught up. Lu Bu laughed and said: "It is exactly as Li Ru expected!" He set up the army. CaoCao rode out and shouted: "Rebel! Hijack the Son of Heaven, move the people, where are you going?" Lu Bu scolded: "Coward who betrayed the master, how can you speak wildly!"

Bai Lang knew that things were really bad. He knew CaoCao was going to be defeated, but he only paid attention to Xu Rong. He didn't expect Lu Bu to join this battle—this was because he didn't read the performance carefully. Bai Lang held his spear and spurred his horse, "Mengde, go first! I will intercept Lu Bu!" Lu Bu also jumped on his horse and raised his halberd to fight Bai Lang. These two top generals exploded their Qi as soon as they came up, so no one could stay within a radius of dozens or hundreds of zhang around them.

Fighting spirit erupted and blade Qi flew. Those who dared to step into their battle circle would definitely be torn to pieces. Bai Lang's iron spear swept and stabbed like a tiger jumping and roaring, claws and teeth revealed—the fighting spirit was also transformed into a white tiger, and the claws and teeth were gun blades directly attacking and biting Lu Bu. And Wenhou exploded his fighting spirit, and his whole person became a red-black ghost and god. The two arms of this ghost and god were the halberd blades of his painted halberd, colliding head-on with the white tiger of the gun blade.

Lu Bu's two long pheasant tails were also accompanied by thunder, as if they were horns, and his whole person was shrouded in a ghost and god with green face and fangs, and even the Red Rabbit horse under his crotch became a strange dragon horse with ferocious horns. Bai Lang had nothing but a white tiger shell outside, and the warhorse under his crotch had no changes. After fighting with Lu Bu for more than ten rounds, seeing that CaoCao had retreated, Bai Lang also wanted to leave. "Why can't I leave! If I run away like this, Lu Bu's Red Rabbit horse will catch up and kill CaoCao. Today is in vain."

However, although CaoCao retreated, Guo Fan, Li Jue, and Xu Rong's main army suddenly killed out from the side, and even the Xiahou brothers couldn't stop it. Cao's army was defeated and collapsed backward. Next, the Xiliang army took the opportunity to cover and kill. It is estimated that CaoCao will be miserable. It is good if a few hundred of his ten thousand troops can run back. Bai Lang also had his own problems, that is, he was dragged by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu couldn't chase CaoCao, but Bai Lang couldn't get away either.

The two sides fought for dozens of rounds. Bai Lang had been surrounded by Lu Bu's army. He had to jump from the horse. The next moment, the warhorse under his crotch let out a sad cry and hung up—without the protection of his fighting spirit, the horse was directly smashed. After Bai Lang's feet stepped on the ground, the tiger landed and gave birth to strength, and the momentum of that strength directly rose by three points. The footsteps were much more flexible than the warhorse, and the strength could be borrowed from the earth. Bai Lang's figure was more than twice as sharp as he moved.

Now the Cloud Water Spear in his hand had truly become a terrible fierce weapon with tiger teeth and tiger claws. It was really blood flying when swept, divided into two when split, and the thrust was like a blizzard. This made even Lu Bu a little busy—he sat on the Red Rabbit horse and looked down, but it was difficult for him to deal with Bai Lang who was half a head shorter. Bai Lang changed his position constantly like the wind, and the four-legged Red Rabbit horse couldn't turn that fast.

Lu Bu also had to protect his beloved horse, so he was faked by Bai Lang and directly exited the battle circle. Bai Lang's speed of killing those cavalry and infantry was extremely fast. Under the swing of the long spear, there were corpses one after another. He rescued the ten cavalrymen who followed him and ordered them to go first and he stayed behind to cover. And Lu Bu was also in a dilemma at this time—should he surround Bai Lang and finally capture or kill him, or should he chase the defeated CaoCao and bring his head to Prime Minister Dong?

In the end, Lu Bu just gave up on Bai Lang and chased in the direction where CaoCao retreated. Bai Lang's bravery made Lu Bu feel shocked—it should be that Lu Bu also wanted to preserve his strength. If the Bingzhou cavalry were determined to keep Bai Lang, I'm afraid not many people would survive except Lu Bu. Bai Lang led his subordinates around the battlefield, and after crossing the river, he finally found CaoCao. Cao's six generals led more than a hundred people to guard CaoCao. When Bai Lang also arrived, CaoCao and his subordinates were visibly relieved. "Finally..." CaoCao said, and then sighed dejectedly—but didn't cry.

After returning from a big defeat, Bai Lang parted ways with CaoCao and prepared to return to his camp. CaoCao held Bai Lang's hand and sighed, "It's unbearable!" After speaking, he could only go back to lick his wounds—this time CaoCao almost lost all his main army, and even the defeated soldiers he gathered one after another hadn't reached five hundred yet. He himself was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and the six generals under his command were all injured. Bai Lang lost his warhorse, and the armor on his body was in tatters and scattered, but fortunately he was not injured, but several of his subordinates seemed to be unable to be saved—the injuries were quite serious, and when the Qi relaxed after returning to the camp, they were afraid they would not survive.

The next day, people reported that CaoCao chased Dong Zhuo, fought at Xingyang, and returned in a big defeat. Shao ordered people to pick him up to the camp, gathered the crowd to drink, and relieved Cao. During the banquet, Cao sighed: "I started the great righteousness to eliminate thieves for the country. Since you all came with righteousness, my original intention was to bother Benchu to lead the Henei crowd, face Mengjin, Suanzao; the generals firmly guard Chenggao, occupy Aocang, block Huanyuan, Taigu; control its dangerous points; Gonglu leads the Nanyang army, station in Dan, Xi, enter Wuguan, to shake the three auxiliary areas. All dig deep and build high walls, do not fight, and be a suspicious army to show the situation of the world. By punishing the rebellious with the obedient, it can be established. Now hesitate and not advance, greatly losing the expectations of the world. I am ashamed of it!" Shao and others had nothing to say.

Bai Lang was also present, and seeing these people looking left and right, he also sighed a few times. After the banquet, Cao saw that Shao and others had different hearts, and expected that they could not succeed, so he led his army to Yangzhou. Gongsun Zan said to Xuande, Guan, and Zhang: "Yuan Shao is incompetent, and there will be changes in the long run. Let's go back." So he pulled the camp and went north. When he arrived in Pingyuan, he ordered Xuande to be the Pingyuan Administrator, and went to guard the land and raise the army. When LiuBei left, he also said goodbye to Bai Lang, and saw this man crying, "I see Yuzhu as if I see a relative. Today's parting can only be to help the Han family in the future."

Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai asked Dong Commandery Administrator Qiao Mao to borrow food. Mao refused to give it, Dai led the army to break into Mao's camp, killed Qiao Mao, and surrendered all his crowd. Bai Lang left a letter and hung the seal and left. He didn't take anything Liu Dai gave him. Yuan Shao saw that everyone was scattered, so he led the army to pull the camp, left Luoyang, and went to Guandong. Since then, the world has finally been in great chaos, and the fire and annexation between the lords began. Gongsun Zan was persuaded by Yuan Shao to be an enemy of Jizhou Inspector Han Fu, and Yuan Shao took the opportunity to intervene to take Jizhou.

Bai Lang resigned from Liu Dai, he didn't want to return to Rencheng, "If we go back, Governor Liu will definitely invite us again. Governor Liu attacked and killed the alliance, which is really unrighteous. I don't want to be used by him in the end. Where should we go, gentlemen?" ===== CHAPTER 520 =====
