Chapter 645: Night Battle

On this day, the reinforcement troops also set up their camp and formation, but they saw the city gates of the Capital wide open, and an army poured out from the gates. More than three hundred elite cavalry were all armored, and Bai Lang stood at the front with a golden helmet. "This guy is going to charge the formation again! Hurry, hurry! Pull the cannons up!" The two princes in the reinforcement army had also fought battles, so they set up a cannon formation outside the camp directly.

This was actually not in accordance with military strategy, but everyone knew that the reason they were in this situation was because of the Duke of Qin, Bai Lang, in front of them? He used his personal bravery to suppress and command the entire ten thousand elite "Xiliang Army," and this "elite" "Xiliang Army" was suppressing the entire Capital and the reinforcement troops outside the city. As long as they could take out the elite cavalry personally led by the Duke of Qin in this Xiliang Army and kill the Duke of Qin himself, then this battle to defend the throne would be won.

For this, even losing the entire cannon camp was worth it, and losing the entire Divine Machine Camp was the same.

Bai Lang's bravery was known to everyone, and Bai Lang saw that there were cannons in front, so he thought about it and led the army back first, but the city gates were not closed, just acting as if the reinforcement troops outside were non-existent.

At night, the city gates were closed and locked. On the city walls, neither Bai Lang nor Bai Bao and Bai Biao arranged guards, but let the newly conscripted recruits stand on the city walls, while they themselves were stationed in the military camp in the city—anyway, if someone really dared to enter the city, they would just push along the main road and kill them. This was still what Bai Lang said, arrogant and domineering to the extreme.

What was this Grand Guardian Bai doing? He was watching the Heavenly Demon Dance in the palace... The giant butter candles were burning brightly, and in front of him were fine wine and food, and the imperial concubines and palace maids in the palace were dancing the Heavenly Demon Dance, while the Emperor was forced to sit on the top, watching the light gauze and soft Heavenly Demon Dance with guys like Bai Lang. The Emperor's face was naturally green, and his teeth were biting and clicking.

In the end, Bai Lang still gave him face and didn't let the Empress Dowager and the Empress come out to dance, but the one he was holding in his arms was the Imperial Noble Consort, who was at least ten years older than Bai Lang but was very well-maintained. Bai Lang liked such mature women. Bai Lang looked mature. He didn't look like he had an age gap with the Imperial Noble Consort—this person was young and not even twenty years old, but he had a face full of curly beards like iron, and his flame-like eyebrows and heroic face really deserved to be called a Batulu Grand Guardian.

He said he wanted to follow the story of Duke Mengde, but in his behavior, he did everything that Grand Master Dong did. He slept on the dragon bed at night, defiled the harem, and killed people indiscriminately in the court. Every single one of these things was the tyranny of Prime Minister Dong. "The sun is setting, and the road is going against the grain..." Bai Lang also stroked his beard and sighed, "Mengde is not easy to learn."

Yes, ever since he killed the Retired Emperor, this Grand Guardian Bai's reputation was only slightly better than Yuwen Hu's, and he was on the same level as Sima Zhao and Dong Zhuo, not even as good as Cao Mengde and Hou Jing... Anyway, everyone in the world knew this Bai Lang's heart, and it was known to everyone. They were just waiting for when he would kill the monarch and usurp the throne.

In this day and age, he was the only example of being so simple and rude, and he could still do such things with such a weak foundation. There were only two people in the past few thousand years: Dong Zhuo and Bai Lang.

Bai Lang wantonly played with the Imperial Noble Consort in his arms. The Emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't watch those Heavenly Demon Dances anymore, and directly risked being killed by Bai Lang to leave and return to the harem. Bai Lang was not angry, but laughed loudly. In the laughter, those thin gauze Heavenly Demon dancers were also trembling all over, but they had to insist on dancing—who knew if this Duke of Qin would kill them all?

Bai Lang didn't even kill the Emperor, so naturally, he wouldn't vent his anger on these harem concubines and palace maids—this person didn't kill any other harem people except for killing a group of eunuchs in the harem.

There were too many people in the Capital who had two hearts, and naturally quite a few who colluded with the new recruits on the city walls—Bai Bao and Bai Biao were only in their teens, how could they play with these old and cunning guys? That night, the reinforcement troops entered the city, and the defenders on the city walls didn't move at all.

Bai Lang wore half a battle robe, armor skirt and combat boots on his lower body, and on his upper body, he only had armor on his forearms. He held a gold cup and drank wine intermittently. His arms were already replaced by Qin Keqing, "Order Bai Bao and Bai Biao to point the troops and put on armor." Bai Lang said to the messenger beside him, "Take my weapons."

Two guards carried Bai Lang's weapons over. Bai Lang reached out and grabbed them, "Fight on foot to break the enemy in the city. These guys only dared to let those rebellious thieves in now. Their courage is really too small!" Bai Lang held an iron halberd and a straight saber in his hand. He walked out of the palace directly, not caring at all whether the thief Emperor was secretly gathering his forces. He just walked toward the Vermilion Bird Avenue with his back straight and a step that didn't recognize his six relatives. Behind him, personal guards fully armored gradually followed. These people were holding shields, sabers, swords, and maces, following Bai Lang to meet the cavalry entering the city in front of them.

The firelight was like a dragon, just shouting "Kill the rebel Bai Lang!", "Kill the thief!" Bai Lang just sneered, "Looking at the pitch-black hole in front, it must be the thief's lair. Wait for me to rush up and kill them cleanly!" Then he laughed, "It doesn't match, it's clearly people and horses coming like a dragon."

Bai Lang looked at the cavalry rushing over, his left hand iron halberd swung out, knocking away the opponent's horse spear while also taking away the opponent's horse head—the warhorse's head was smashed to pieces and half of it flew out. The next moment, Bai Lang's right hand swung out, and half of the cavalry's body flew out.

The next moment, Bai Lang turned into a tornado and rolled into the opponent's cavalry formation. He killed his way in first, and the people and horses were shattered, directly blocking the charging cavalry. Bai Lang also counter-charged. The personal guards behind him also let out a roar, and the phantom of the broken cavalry overlapped on their bodies. In an instant, the strength and speed increased by more than a notch.

The cavalry of the reinforcement army in front were killed by Bai Lang, and after the first ten or so were killed, they turned their horses' heads and fled, completely ignoring that this directly trampled their own infantry formation that followed. And Bai Lang took advantage of the momentum to counter-roll, killing until heads rolled, killing dozens or hundreds of people with his own hands, and the opponent's main formation collapsed directly. At this time, Bai Ying also arrived. Unexpectedly, this younger sister arrived first. She rode on a peach blossom horse and shot arrows with her bow.

The arrows were like a sudden rain. Bai Lang taught her the technique of circulating energy and returning strength, so Bai Ying directly mastered the skill of continuous arrow rain. Her hands flicked continuously, and in the blink of an eye, she shot empty two quivers of arrows, and each arrow accurately killed one person. "This 'younger sister' of mine might be the most terrifying one in the family. This kind of eyesight is rare."

Bai Lang also smacked his lips. He swung his weapons and killed only a hundred or so people, while Bai Ying's continuous arrow rain also killed nearly a hundred people in a short while. This explosive ability was indeed terrifying. The opposite side collapsed directly. Bai Lang led his personal guards, and Bai Ying led her own archers and crossbowmen to press up, driving the defeated troops to rush forward along the avenue. ===== CHAPTER 646 =====
