Chapter 541

~8 min read 1,577 words

Everyone went outside the camp to watch Bai Lang and Sun Ce compete. It was impossible for both sides not to take weapons. If they fought with bare hands, Sun Ce would directly admit defeat. And the competition on the ground was Sun Ce holding a wooden knife and Bai Lang holding a short stick. After three rounds, Sun Ce's wooden knife was knocked down, and in mounted combat, after more than ten rounds of exchanging horses with long-pole weapons, Sun Ce's arms were also sore and he could not fight again. Bai Lang's martial arts in foot combat were indeed the best in the world, and his mounted combat was now only slightly inferior to Lu Bu's.

Others did not go on the field to compete. Bai Lang knew that after this defeat, Sun Ce's martial arts would definitely have another considerable leap. It was not only victory that increased experience points. Sometimes the experience points increased by losing were not less. "There is a future, but he died early. Otherwise, his martial arts would definitely not be below ZhangFei's, perhaps second only to GuanYu's." Bai Lang thought so, but saving Sun Ce? Impossible. In his eyes, the Sun family was also a rebellious official, and the distance to the thief was just that little bit.

And Sun Ce was aggressive and liked to fight, and was stabbed by an assassin. Unless he was protected all the time, no one knew how he would die. Bai Lang had nothing to do with Sun Jian, and naturally, he was like that to his son.

Although CaoCao's slaughter of the city made Bai Lang very unhappy and cut off his idea of joining him, this person's interaction was very compatible with Bai Lang's, which could be considered as birds of a feather flocking together, both liking wives. So in personal interaction, Bai Lang was willing to reach out. Even Liu Xuande was much cuter than Sun Jian's kind. This Imperial Uncle was naturally not yet, but this Liu Xuande at least treated people with sincerity. If Bai Lang finally decided which lord to eat at, he would still choose Liu Xuande.

The lords gathered, and the next day they began to attack Shouchun city fiercely. "I will be the first to climb!" Bai Lang shouted. As the strongest in foot combat present, he was lighter than Dian Wei, so he would be faster at climbing the scaling ladder. Dian Wei also said, "Willing to follow behind Bai Gong!" CaoCao divided the tasks, and everyone went to build siege equipment, not to mention. What Bai Lang built was a four-wheeled scaling ladder that could be pushed. The place to push had inclined wood tops, which could prevent arrows and rolling stones from hurting the soldiers inside.

Once they reached the city wall, the soldiers inside could shake the wooden wheels to extend the scaling ladder, and the iron hook at the very front would hook the city wall, and Bai Lang would climb from the tunnel to the scaling ladder to climb the city. "This thing is not easy to handle. If there is a pit or something on the ground, it will be finished. And this moat..." Bai Lang looked at the moat of Shouchun, "Better change it first, change it to build a pontoon bridge?"

The moat had to be filled. For this, CaoCao prepared arrow towers that could be pushed to suppress the archers on the city wall, while the bottom used soil carts to transport bamboo cages filled with stones to fill the river. And the city defenders had bed crossbows, which could also shoot and kill the archers on the 'Jinglan' from afar. Bai Lang climbed onto a 'Jinglan' himself, with a strong bow in his hand and a long arrow on his side. He was prepared to use the general's strong shooting to suppress the soldiers on the city wall. "Lu Bu is the best at shooting, but this person actually didn't come."

With the strength of the general's Qi explosion, he could pull a strong bow with power no less than a bed crossbow, and could stably shoot powerful long arrows. "With my strength, although I can stably shoot two arrows a minute and shoot all day without getting tired or hurting my hands, the bow will definitely be scrapped. This bow is not cheap... scrapping a bow a day, thinking about it makes my heart ache." Bai Lang opened the bow to suppress the bed crossbow, while the archers suppressed the archers, and below they filled the river desperately.

Half a month later, the rations were about to run out, but the moat could be considered to have been filled with several channels. Bai Lang pushed the scaling ladder and charged toward Shouchun city first. Bai Lang attracted almost all the enemy's attention as the first to climb. It wouldn't do not to pay attention. Once Bai Lang gained a foothold on the city wall, his martial courage could clear a whole wall of defenders. Bai Lang exploded his Qi and killed onto the city wall after two or three times of braving falling stones and rolling oil, "Fortunately, there is a large shield, otherwise I would have become a blistered white tiger today."

Although Bai Lang practiced the Thirteen Tai Bao Golden Bell Shield and was invulnerable to water and fire, this world was also strong. The hot oil poured down would also scald him. After Bai Lang climbed the city, he killed dozens of people with his long spear. Even if the other side was also a soldier exploding Qi, he still killed one with one spear. Behind him, Dian Wei killed up, and after a roar, he brandished his twin iron halberds and killed them. Next, soldiers climbed the city one after another here, and under Bai Lang's charge, they had time to form a formation and began to try to control the city wall. Bai Lang killed fiercely along the city wall. When he reached the stairs, he killed until the blood flowed down the stairs, submerging his ankles.

He used the long spear to pick up the corpses of the Xiliang strong soldiers who were eight or nine feet tall, directly using them as weapons to throw into the archer formation below, while he himself ignored it and forcefully charged braving the rain of arrows. Bai Lang used the iron mace and long spear to block, but in the end, he was shot like a hedgehog. These were all strong arrows that could break the martial general's Qi. Even though Bai Lang had fish-scale armor, he could not avoid being shot through.

"Truly fierce and peerless, climbing the city in one go." With CaoCao as the head, everyone looked at Bai Lang climbing the city and breaking the city, all praising. Shouchun city was broken, Li Feng, Chen Ji, Le Jiu, and Liang Gang were all captured alive, and Cao ordered them all to be beheaded in the market. Burned the fake palaces and halls, and all forbidden items; Shouchun city was looted. Discussed wanting to advance the army across the Huai River to chase Yuan Shu. However, the rations in the army were exhausted, so this 'one go' could not be done, so they could only wait for the rations to be collected. "Let Gonglu live for another year." Bai Lang said. CaoCao didn't say anything because he and Yuan Shu were childhood friends back then.

CaoCao was truly embarrassed to say that we would go to kill Yuan Shu next year. Civilized people couldn't say this. Before leaving, he ordered Xuande to station troops in Xiaopei, become brothers with Lu Bu, help each other, and not invade each other. Lu Bu led his army back to Xuzhou. Cao secretly said to Xuande: "I ordered you to station troops in Xiaopei. It is a strategy of digging a pit to wait for the tiger. You just discuss with Chen Gui and his son, don't let there be any loss. I will be your external aid."

Afterward, CaoCao looked at Bai Lang with a smile, "Yuzhu, why don't you go back with me? General of the Rear? General of the Front is also fine." Bai Lang laughed loudly, "I will come again if I have a chance, anyway, I will definitely come soon." His words were also understood by CaoCao, who laughed loudly and then left.

"Oh, those two horse thieves were beheaded? It's a pity they didn't die in my hands." Bai Lang heard on the way back that Li Jue and Guo Si, these two fellows, were beheaded by their subordinates and sent to Xudu. The Xiliang warlords who troubled the world were finally almost dead. However, there was another batch of Xiliang warlords who were not of Dong Zhuo's faction...

Yuan Shao took Bing Province and finally had to move against Gongsun Zan, completely eliminating Gongsun. And Lu Bu seemed to be unable to hold back, starting to attack CaoCao and LiuBei. Only Bai Lang had nothing to do for a few months, mainly still wasting his life in Qiao County. What he did was similar to the kind of person like Emperor Ling, mainly playing with Zou Shi, fortunately, his martial arts did not fall behind. Hearing that Lu Bu was moving, Bai Lang let out a loud laugh, "The time has come." Summoning his soldiers, he went to join Liu Xuande.
