Chapter 791: Vanguard

Zhang returned without success. Before, he wanted to persuade these two bandit leaders with his three-inch tongue, but Bai Lang only asked one sentence, "Can you be a general or a prime minister? Like Shi Dalang being a prime minister?" Zhang was stunned and couldn't speak, so Bai Lang and Shi Yi both laughed and waved their hands to let this person return to Kaifeng Prefecture himself.

Shi Yi's army swept across the southeast. The northern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu areas of later generations had already been killed by Fang La, and Shi Yi's cleaning of fields and distributing land to households had no resistance. There were even some scholars who took the initiative to defect, and the situation was opened. At present, the territory occupied by Bai Lang and Shi Yi was equivalent to the southern Jiangsu, northern Zhejiang, and part of AH in later generations, plus most of Jiangxi. Almost all the fertile land south of the Yangtze River had fallen into their hands.

Now Tong Guan had gone to the Liao Dynasty, but Bai Lang remembered that this was simply another humiliating and disastrous defeat for the Great Song, and it also let the Jin Dynasty see the emptiness of the Great Song. At this time, Bai Lang led his army across the Yangtze River, and the Great Song Yangtze River navy did not dare to block it. They didn't even dare to pass Zhenjiang, and were directly divided into a large part on the water surface downstream of Nanjing, and a small part near Jiujiang.

Bai Lang swaggered and captured Yangzhou, and Huainan was free for him to gallop. If he took Xuzhou, the world would not belong to the Great Song emperor. At least it would be a north-south division, and could the Great Song become the Northern Dynasty? That was a joke. At this time, the Great Song also moved troops to the south. The Liangshan amnesty troops could not be used to fight Bai Lang. Not to mention that Bai Lang and Shi Yi were also Tiangang stars, just the fact that they took in the original mountain village master Chao Gai and others made it impossible for the emperor to let the Liangshan army face Bai Lang or Shi Yi.

For fear that these people would directly join the rebel army, wouldn't that be driving fish to the abyss? Who knew how many people under Song Jiang were dissatisfied with the amnesty and determined to rebel? So transferring Song Jiang and them to the north could manipulate their logistics, and the army that fought Song Jiang would be replenished and then go south to pacify Shi Yi—they were also two of the Liangshan Tiangang stars. I think they also relied on the emptiness of the south to achieve their current career. Using the army that truly defeated Liangshan to fight them would definitely be no problem.

At this time, the imperial court no longer dwelled on how Shi Yi and Bai Lang had previously annihilated the 120,000-strong army of Sichuan and Shu, forcing the Western Army to return empty-handed—the matter had caused such a chaotic uproar in the imperial court, with everyone blaming someone else and rushing to urge the Sichuan-Shu army to engage, only for them to be defeated because their footing was unstable. To this day, they all believe it was entirely due to the incompetence of the recommended generals, who were crushed while their positions were still insecure.

Who recommended this kind of general? The result was that one of Cai Xiangye's opponents was sent home to be under house arrest. The preferential treatment of the Great Song for civil officials could be seen. Losing 120,000 troops was just this punishment. Like Liu Qi and Sima Guang, didn't they have nothing to do after losing the army and humiliating the country, and could still be passed down to future generations under the name of a famous minister of a generation.

So when Bai Lang led more than a thousand soldiers to wander in Huainan, 40,000 Great Song government troops had already killed towards him. At this time, Bai Lang was still wandering outside Xuzhou City. His material supply was simple, relying on water transport—after the three Ruan brothers came over, they could be useful. Fighting water battles was not possible for the time being, but transporting grain and grass was no problem.

Bai Lang set up a camp in a town near the canal. This place had houses and docks, and it was no problem to accommodate his entire army. Bai Lang didn't send out scouts. Still the same sentence, the Great Song lacked horses, and this place was also relatively small rivers and streams, which was actually not suitable for war horses to gallop. Besides, Bai Lang was stationed in the town, what kind of army could attack him without him being caught off guard?

It was always Bai Lang who did this to others, and others couldn't do this to him. And when tens of thousands of troops killed over, it was impossible to attack the town directly. They also had to set up a camp. So Bai Lang heard the report from his small soldier the next day that a government army of several thousand people had come from more than ten miles away, and he knew that those soldiers had come.

He had known about the court's pacification of the rebellion long ago. There was no news in the court that could be kept secret. Besides, Heavenly King Chao and the others who ran over also said that the government officials led by Zhang Shuye were not easy to fight, and they had to be careful that they would go south to fight you—Heavenly King Chao himself seemed to be disheartened and just wanted to live in seclusion. He was not the kind of owl who was defeated repeatedly and had a firm mind. This could be considered normal.

Bai Lang then took more than ten people out to watch. Sure enough, it was the Great Song government army, three or five thousand people came over and were setting up a camp. There was a big "Ha" character on the flag, which was estimated to be the vanguard officer. Bai Lang was also unhurriedly circling the camp on his horse, arrogant and arrogant as a single person and a single horse. Bai Lang didn't even take his weapons—his horse spear was not brought, and he only carried a long saber around his waist.

Bai Lang was circling around a hundred steps outside the camp gate. He didn't challenge, just watching the entire camp. Bai Lang didn't even wear armor, just pointing and pointing with a horse whip while watching. Bai Lang's appearance was heroic, and the court already knew this—in this day and age, because the Daoist emperor himself was a master of meticulous painting, there were many officials in the court who were good at painting.

Among them, someone had seen Bai Lang and painted him. When the Daoist emperor saw the painting, he also praised that it was indeed a fierce general's face, with tiger beard and eyebrows, and the courage of ten thousand men. Therefore, this vanguard general also recognized Bai Lang. Bai Lang was watching the formation, and suddenly heard a roar, "Don't let the rebel go!"

Seeing a group of people killing out from the opened camp gate, the leading general was holding a one-armed copper man in his right hand and spurring his horse over. "The stranger the weapon, the faster the death." Bai Lang let his green-maned horse stand still, and his mouth was muttering this. The general and the deputy general behind him rushed over, raised the copper man high, and smashed and stabbed.

The man borrowed the horse's strength, and this man was infinitely powerful. The copper man brought a fierce wind and smashed towards Bai Lang. Bai Lang snorted coldly and the Golden Bell Shield divine skill was activated. The copper man stopped abruptly in the space of a fraction of an inch from Bai Lang's head, and then it bounced back. Seeing that the Ha-surnamed general's right tiger's mouth was directly torn, his fingers deformed and he couldn't hold the copper man, the copper man bounced back at high speed, directly smashing the general's head and chest into a mess. The guy fell off the horse crookedly.

"Pity a head." Bai Lang said, and grabbed the spearheads of the two deputy generals in his hands. With just a pull, he knocked them off their horses with unparalleled strength. Bai Lang bent down and grabbed the back of each with one hand, holding them and comparing them. "Yo, my horse is afraid it can't bear it." Before the two could speak, Bai Lang directly turned his hands and grabbed their heads.

With a slight force, the helmet was deformed and broken. Bai Lang changed his strength and threw it, and the strength changed subtly. He easily pulled out the two heads and hung them on both sides of the saddle. After that, this person actually returned on his horse easily. As for the vanguard of the three or five thousand government troops? Bai Lang completely ignored them. ===== CHAPTER 792 =====
