Chapter 520: Occupying the Land and Waiting for the Time

Bai Lang's five-dimensional data might be all one hundred according to his own guess, but in fact, if this world is Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14, he is just a martial arts one hundred, and other intelligence might be seventy or eighty—anyway, he has modern thinking and vision, and he won't be stupid, but domestic affairs might be just a product of thirty. As for charm... just looking at the appearance and martial arts, he can be eighty or ninety, but combined, the charm is higher than Lu Bu's 36, probably sixty-something, but it should be able to rise with the improvement of reputation in the future.

However, the command must not be as high as ninety-something. Bai Lang's ability to lead troops is quite poor. He thinks he is one hundred, but if it is really numerical, it is probably forty or fifty... so he is seriously biased. However, there are characteristics and tactics... but that is too game-like, and Bai Lang is not a game character.

Since Bai Lang himself is like this, the chivalrous guards under him are about the same. Basically, their martial arts are relatively high, and other values are not very good. So what good ideas can they put forward? After muttering for a long time, they just said that they only wished to follow Bai Lang's lead. Bai Lang thought for a while, "Forget it, let's go to the Central Plains." Bai Lang led the ten cavalry who came to join him one after another to Fengqiu in Chenliu.

At this time, the lords rose together, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought a big battle at Jieqiao. I heard that Liu Xuande also went to help Gongsun Zan. And Bai Lang entered Fengqiu, first looking for a place to stay. The ground in Fengqiu was quite uneven. There were dock fortresses occupied by Wang Chao and Ma Han, and there were also Zhang Long and Zhao Hu who rode horses to plunder the four directions. These four were all remnants of the Yellow Turbans. On this day, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu led more than three hundred cavalry and eight hundred infantry to plunder a dock fortress. This dock fortress originally had people serving as officials in the court, but they were hijacked to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were also showing off their power, one holding a big knife and one holding a long halberd, both riding yellow-biao horses, wrapped in yellow turbans and wearing armor. In the shouting, the eight hundred infantry had already begun to attack the city. These two guys really had some skills, building a battering ram that could be pushed, covered with a top cover to prevent arrows, the top cover was slanted so that falling stones would not be stressed and roll away, and finally the top cover was covered with a layer of wet mud and hemp cloth to avoid fire.

More than twenty infantry pushed the battering ram, and the rest had more than a hundred people shooting arrows to suppress the defenders on the dock fortress. How could a dock fortress compare with a city in defense? After the battering ram hit a few times, the defense of the dock fortress gate returned to zero, and it fell inward with a bang, and the strong men behind the dock fortress were crushed to death. The infantry holding big shields began to prepare to attack, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu laughed loudly. There was crying in the dock fortress.

At this time, the sound of hooves sounded, and only more than ten cavalry bypassed the dock fortress and appeared on the side of the attacking army. The leader was more than eight feet tall, with tiger eyebrows and star eyes, a nose like a hanging gall, and a beard that was exploding. He was a first-class hero, wearing a black robe without armor, holding a long iron spear in his hand, and riding a snowflake green horse. "Yellow Turban remnants?" Bai Lang said, and the chivalrous men who had explored the news said, "This is Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, indeed Yellow Turban remnants who specialize in plundering the surroundings."

Bai Lang laughed, spurred his horse and raised his spear to kill first, just a thrust to swing away Zhang Long's big knife, and picked him off the horse—the chest through the back was already hopeless. And he swung an arc with his backhand. Although Zhao Hu held a halberd and wanted to counterattack, he was directly cut into two pieces along with the halberd. Bai Lang's cavalry also shouted and charged over on horseback. Bai Lang stabbed several unlucky guys off their horses casually, and then with a tiger roar, the scattered ten cavalry actually surrounded a hundred cavalry.

Those cavalry immediately dismounted and surrendered, and those who were lucky enough to run out were also shot to death by the chivalrous men. The infantry attacking the city were also stunned, not knowing whether to surrender or scatter. And Bai Lang killed these people and also rode his horse to charge toward the dock fortress, "Don't block the road, follow me in!" Bai Lang said, and suddenly the chaotic infantry and cavalry were blocked at the door—if someone shot arrows or threw stones from top to bottom at this time, I'm afraid these Yellow Turban remnants would die a lot.

If they could concentrate on shooting arrows at the door, they would also die a lot, but the first one to kill in was Bai Lang... There were indeed rejection horses and dozens of crossbowmen behind the dock fortress gate. I'm afraid they were planning to shoot Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. But the person who killed in was not Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, which made the crossbowmen stunned for a while. "Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows!" Someone in the dock fortress shouted.

Arrows rained down, Bai Lang casually deflected them, and not a single arrow could hit Bai Lang. And they only had one chance to shoot, and there was no time for them to load the crossbow arrows again. Bai Lang drove his horse to charge over, and just swept with his long spear, killing six or seven people in front of him, and the rest shouted and threw down their weapons and ran. At this time, the infantry landed in the dock fortress one after another. They looked at Bai Lang with fear. "You guys, lead the surrendered army to take this fortress."

After a burst of chicken flying and dog jumping, it was night before this dock fortress was completely controlled. Not many people were killed. As long as the people in the dock fortress closed their doors and didn't come out, the chivalrous men under Bai Lang wouldn't let those surrendered soldiers smash the doors and kill them—they were looking for the food and money of the dock fortress owner. The money and food to reward the surrendered soldiers could be paid from this, and there was no need to plunder the civilians, which would make the soldiers lose control for no reason.

The combat effectiveness of an army accustomed to plundering will decline, which Bai Lang also knows. This dock fortress was occupied by him, and he didn't kill the original dock fortress owner. Instead, he let these people serve as the civil officials and scribes of this small armed force. And after that, Bai Lang also sent troops to attack several other dock fortresses occupied by Wang Chao and Ma Han who were the backers of Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. With Bai Lang's bravery, it was absolutely ten attacks and ten victories, and he would break whatever he attacked.

Wang Chao and Ma Han were beheaded in just ten days. Attacking those dock fortresses didn't need any battering ram—the surrendered soldiers just needed to shout 666, and Bai Lang took the lead to climb the city, and then he could climb the dock fortress wall with a little force, and then kill the soldiers and open the big gate. The next step was a simple occupation. After taking down these dock fortresses, Bai Lang was considered to have a place to live. He granted land to the surrendered soldiers and the people in the dock fortresses.

The land was naturally the land of the dock fortress owners—many people in those dock fortresses were killed by Wang Chao and Ma Han, and the dock fortress owners were definitely killed, so there was quite a lot of land. After Bai Lang granted the land, he implemented the policy of military land, and the collected land tax was also very low—because he screened the soldiers, there were not many soldiers to raise. Bai Lang had a hundred cavalry and three hundred infantry in total after screening, and the rest of the soldiers were dismissed by him.

In the chaotic world, he occupied this land and was also waiting to observe the general trend of the world. "Enter the pass! Still have to enter the pass! I want to try to see if I can assassinate Dong Zhuo!" Bai Lang said to his subordinates. This foundation brought him freshness at the beginning and boredom now. He had no interest in being a county magistrate at all... ===== CHAPTER 521 =====
