Chapter 522: Occupying Xihe

Hangu Pass, the pass wall is about three zhang high. Bai Lang held a shield in one hand and an iron spear in the other, walking steadily toward Hangu Pass. A clapper sounded on the city wall, and arrows aimed at him alone. Bai Lang just held up the shield, and those arrows were nailed to the shield, but most of them slipped off when they hit the shield.

Because Bai Lang exploded his Qi, the golden fighting spirit of the Thirteen Tai Bao Golden Bell Shield also protected the shield. Those that could be nailed to the shield were already arrows of breaking Qi shot by strong crossbows, "If it were shot by ten thousand arrows, it seems that Wenhou and others would also be shot to death." Bai Lang, who was advancing against the arrow rain, unfolded his figure, and his speed was extremely fast.

Most of the arrows missed. This guy jumped left and right with fast speed and large span, and he grabbed to the bottom of the city in just a few steps. Bai Lang's right iron spear was inserted into the wall, and the steel blade of the spear pierced half a foot into the wall, "Sure enough, a majestic pass and iron gate!" Bai Lang also sighed, his wrist exerted force to press and bounce, and his feet followed the momentum to rise.

Bai Lang jumped up directly, his arms pulled and stabbed, as if moving clouds and flowing water, and then stabbed into the wall again. At this time, he had jumped more than a zhang high. Even if he could only bounce up by the strength of his arms, it would be just three or four stabbing actions. The city wall was in an uproar. Soldiers threw stones directly, and even generals drew bows and shot arrows. Under the sound of violent shouts, explosive Qi ignited on their bodies.

Bai Lang's shield blocked the stones, but when the arrows of Niu Fu's generals hit, the shield was blown to pieces. Bai Lang used his arms to exert force, and after a few jumps, he had already crossed the height of the city wall, diving toward the city wall like an eagle.

The Bai Lang troops at the distance of an arrow behind all shouted loudly, and even without Bai Lang's military order, they were extremely high in morale and charged over, forcing arrows under the city to support their general. Bai Lang landed in the air, and a fighting spirit shock wave exploded on his feet, directly rushing the defenders within a radius of five zhang into a mess and even bouncing into the air.

Then Bai Lang held the long spear and swept horizontally, and the defenders within a zhang in front were all split into two, and blood sprayed out. But these Xiliang elite soldiers were not scattered at all, and directly raised their knives, shields, and long spears and swarmed up. "Sure enough, elite!" Bai Lang saw that the strength and toughness of these soldiers were far better than the Jianzhou white armor of the past.

"In the past, I climbed the city wall and killed the Bayala like cutting grass. I didn't expect that I am now an inner scene master, but I can't kill Xiliang soldiers like cutting grass on the city wall of the Han Three Kingdoms..." Bai Lang thought so in his heart, but in the eyes of others, this was already very terrifying. Bai Lang's iron spear flew and danced, and there was no one in front of him who could withstand a single blow. Dozens or hundreds of soldiers had already fallen on the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xiliang soldiers were extremely resistant to fighting, I'm afraid they would have collapsed by now—they died more than a hundred people, and the other side was just slightly broken armor, and there was not even a wound on the body. At this moment, those surrounding Bai Lang were the warriors of the Xiliang in Niu Fu's army. These people were at least squad leaders, platoon leaders, or even military officers.

These Xiliang warriors were all brave enough to stand against a hundred people. They all displayed their skills and surrounded Bai Lang to kill fiercely. Because of many years of fighting, their cooperation was also very tacit. This foot combat was different from cavalry combat. If you rely on fast horses, the siege might not be as dangerous as the current foot combat.

This foot combat siege could be said to be a country of enemies within a few inches. Even if Bai Lang's iron spear was nearly a zhang long, if he really held the tail of the spear and swung circles to attack, then don't blame the generals with knives and shields for rolling into the inner circle to slash. So Bai Lang just held the middle of the long spear, which was the tactic of foot combat.

The long spear could be stabbed or slashed. In Bai Lang's hand, it was a peerless fierce weapon. Moreover, this guy could even free up a hand to punch, palm, or claw. The martial arts in his hands were also infinitely changeable but extremely powerful—there was no such hand martial arts at this time. The power of Bai Lang's fists and palms was not inferior to the long spear, just like a hammer or a giant axe. There were also two Xiliang warriors who died in his hands.

However, there were dozens of people surrounding Bai Lang, and their advance and retreat cooperation was quite tacit. This kind of foot combat siege was something that even Lu Bu couldn't get any good from. After Bai Lang killed more than ten people, he also sighed, faked a move, and jumped out of the city wall. "Sure enough, it is a strong world. There are too many people here who can achieve innate status after being taken out."

When fighting, they all exploded their Qi, and the city wall could strongly support their battle without falling apart. Even after the big explosion, it was just that half of the building on the pass collapsed. After Bai Lang landed, he looked back at Hangu Pass, "In the end, the big thing didn't happen." He led his subordinates to retreat from here. "Take a detour. It's just that this mountain road, the cavalry might not be able to go—can only go around from the north."

On the city walls, the Xiliang army was still shaken; for a single person to charge up the city wall and kill over three hundred men, one would fear that only the Overlord reborn could do it. However, Niu Fu was quite happy; he had blocked Bai Lang's surprise attack on Hangu Pass. Now, Bai Lang's courage was considered by the various Xiliang generals to be on par with the Marquis of Wen, so repelling this person was naturally a meritorious deed.

It is certain to report the victory to the Prime Minister.

Bai Lang retreated, and had to make the choice of detouring to the north, but this required passing through the territory of the Black Mountain bandits. That piece was Yuan Shao's sphere of influence, but there was no actual control ability.

Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan in the Battle of Jieqiao and was trying to control the north. He proposed to let Youzhou Inspector Liu Yu be the emperor, but was firmly rejected by Liu Yu. And Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu were now at odds, and it seemed that they were going to fire at Liu Yu, and Liu, Guan, and Zhang returned to Pingyuan.

CaoCao was moving in Yanzhou, trying to control the whole of Yanzhou.

Bai Lang saw the Black Mountain bandits occupying the commandery, and immediately spurred his cavalry to charge. He was in the lead, followed by a hundred cavalry, and killed into the Black Mountain bandit camp as if entering no man's land. But after a while, he killed and scattered hundreds or thousands. And Xihe Commandery was adjacent to the Qiang, Hu, and Xiongnu lands. After Bai Lang led four hundred troops to sweep and force back the Black Mountain bandits, he turned into the Qiang and Hu lands.

The Qiang people were similar to the Han people, just living in tribes. After Bai Lang led the army into it, he also forced food and grass along the way, and also collected a lot of mules and horses for the infantry to transport food and heavy loads. There were also Qiang commanders who couldn't bear the coercion. However, such unlucky people were all broken by Bai Lang, and they were beheaded in the tribe.

His four hundred elite soldiers had no losses. When charging with Bai Lang, the momentum was extremely high, and breaking the army of a thousand was just ordinary. After climbing mountains and ridges along the Qiang and Hu lands, the Tongchuan Road was cut off and could only go through Xiaoguan into Xiliang. "In the end, it didn't work." Bai Lang sighed, and quite a few of his subordinates were sick, so Bai Lang had to retreat to Bingzhou.

Now Bingzhou had no master. Bai Lang thought about it again and again. Even if he had no interest in being a commandery administrator, he had to drive out all the Qiang, Hu, and Black Mountain bandits in Xihe Commandery and try to occupy Xihe Commandery. "Four hundred soldiers, and thirty percent of them are sick, to rely on this to occupy Xihe Commandery... When did the Great Han reach this point?" Bai Lang sighed. ===== CHAPTER 523 =====
