Chapter 47
If Bai Lang did not use the double maces, it would actually increase his attack types. However, it was still a bit difficult to maneuver with a 128-jin purple-gold mace on his back, so Bai Lang drew out the double purple-gold mace when he pounced, and it flew out of his hands, taking two lives.
The purple-gold mace hit two Qing soldiers with obviously different armors and stabbed into them. The double armor on their bodies was useless. The two men also fell backwards with blood spurting out, and the purple-gold mace pierced their chests and backs. Without the 128-jin weight, Bai Lang's speed was even faster.
However, the two Qing soldiers he killed were quickly dragged away. It seemed that it was still the difference in status. "Damn it! Do I have a grudge against weapons? I exchanged them with points! Now they have to leave me temporarily." Bai Lang didn't have time to take back the weapons. He was busy killing people.
These soldiers were also very strong in combat - compared to the ordinary people he had met in the past, these people were used to cold weapon warfare, and would not back down even when seeing bloody scenes. Moreover, they were also very strong in combat with armor and weapons, and they also had weapons for people like Bai Lang who were highly skilled in martial arts - hooks and lassos.
They still haven't caught Bai Lang, but these people are holding heavy shields and limiting his range of - but now it seems that it won't work. Bai Lang's movements are swift and flexible, especially his ability to jump with leverage, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to limit him for a while.
The most important thing is that Bai Lang's attack power is unusually strong, and the power of his fists and feet is also difficult to block - it is only slightly better than the iron mace, but the shock of his fists is hard to block even if you are wearing armor and holding a shield. And once you don't use the double maces, the power of his legs is also extraordinary, and the most terrifying thing is his hands. When the tiger claws grab, the real tiger is just like this...
The energy passed through his fingers just like the claws of a real tiger. This was the result of Bai Lang's mastery of the tiger form. He knew that he had not yet reached the pinnacle, but at this moment he was able to make the claws work, leaving deep marks on the shields.
Forget armor, the armor was deformed when the tiger claws grabbed it, and then tore it - the cotton armor was easily torn. When the armor was made, no consideration was given to what would happen if someone tore it hard. So after tearing it, it was grabbed again. This time there was chain mail, but it could still cause serious injuries. If it grabbed the chest or abdomen, it was likely that the abdomen would be ripped open under the chain mail.
"It's a pity that I didn't make it to the fourth level! Otherwise, why would I be afraid of such a group fight!" Bai Lang fought left and right, and his men killed four or five more people, but there were more and more lassoes and hooks, and it seemed that more Qing soldiers rushed out - he was finally held back. "It's time to go!" Bai Lang made a decision. He roared and spread his claws, shaking open a passage, and then used all his strength to perform Qinggong, rushing out of the circle in a few steps, "They are surrounding us..." Bai Lang quickened his pace, as if he was gliding on the ground.
His toes slammed on the ground, and the ground shook slightly as . Bai Lang used the reaction force to soar into the air, somersaulted in mid-air, and landed several feet away. At this time, he had already pulled away, and his warhorse was brought over by a brave subordinate. Bai Lang mounted his horse and shouted, "Let's go!" Then he turned his horse's head and began to evacuate.
After running more than a hundred steps, Bai Lang pulled his horse back. The Qing soldiers had already begun to withdraw. If they caught up with him, it would be fatal. It would be like giving away lives for nothing. Bai Lang gave a thumbs-down gesture to the Qing army camp, then ran away with a wild laugh. "He will come again..." Abatai said as he watched Bai Lang go away.
This time, the gains did not outweigh the losses. Although Bai Lang had lost his iron maces, they were no longer iron maces. They looked like copper and gold, but they were very heavy. Even though Abatai could lift them with one hand, it was impossible for him to swing them like Bai Lang. In order to siege Bai Lang, two Niulu Zhangjing, four Di Boshiku and eleven Bayala armored soldiers died, and six horse armored soldiers also died. Even when defeating a large Ming army, there were no such casualties...
In the end, he only took the opponent's double mace, but didn't let the opponent take away any heads... This is a fart victory. It is true that his own people died, and if this guy is still wandering around and attacks when he finds an opportunity, or even attacks when marching or attacking the city, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. If such a fierce general is the vanguard and leads a large number of cavalry or infantry to break the siege, it will be really difficult to deal with.
At this time, the morale of ordinary Qing soldiers was low. The enemy killed so many warriors, but they looked unharmed when they left, and it seemed that they would come again - no Qing soldier would feel that their morale was high. A serious problem really lay before them. Should they admit that the offensive in Shandong had failed and leave now when supplies were sufficient, the soldiers' energy and physical strength were sufficient, and their morale was still good? Or should they stick to the original plan and continue to fight in Shandong to plunder more children and gold?
The latter option was impossible just thinking about it. If Bai Lang was prepared to attack the city, he might not have much chance, but taking the plundered children back with him? It was impossible just thinking about it. By then, the army of the clumsy Lang Kang would be full of gaps for Bai Lang to break into. Once this guy broke in, he could kill ordinary soldiers at a speed that could be imagined.
Before he retreated due to exhaustion, he might really be able to kill hundreds of Qing soldiers...
"Retreat." Having made the decision, Abatai's face became even more bitter. He was not favored when he was an old slave. After Huang Taiji came to power, although Abatai was good at fighting, he was only a beile now. In the Eight Banners system, he ranked behind other brothers - he had to do the hard work, but he had no chance of promotion. Now that this decision has been made, it can be imagined that Abatai will have to take the blame again. It is good enough that he can keep his beile this time. If Huang Taiji intends to humiliate him, he may even be demoted to Beizi...
Thinking of this, Abatai really felt very helpless - why would such a brave general appear on his way? In fact, he should laugh. In history, the Qing army suffered heavy losses during this invasion of the Great Wall. Many dignitaries died, including the governors and guards. If the army were to withdraw now, the casualties would be even smaller than in history.
However, the Qing soldiers were finally scared. When they broke camp and retreated, Bai Lang also tried to charge, but the enemy used carts for protection and fired bows and muskets desperately. Almost everyone took out hooks and other weapons and prepared for battle. Therefore, Bai Lang could only take a few heads, but he could not delay the Qing soldiers for much time - there were too few of them, and the others did not have the ability to charge alone. The Ming troops in the nearby states and counties did not dare to fight in the field, and could just defend the city...
A month later, the Qing troops were completely withdrawn, and traffic was finally restored. Bai Lang had already returned to Yanzhou after several attempts to attack and realized that they were not going to work. Now it was time to formally accept the imperial reward. "It's a pity to lose my water-polished purple gold mace! Damn, this is a good thing I bought with my points."
