Chapter 51
The bandits were also stunned. Although they were often defeated by the government troops in the past few years, they were not like the one-man-on-one-rider-breaking-the-array-of-the-horse-like-in-drama-now. Normally, even if the government troops had the strongest warriors, they could not kill ten in and ten out of a large number of horsemen. But the general of the government army in front of him actually broke through the formation of bows and spears by himself, and killed several of those old horsemen in a blink of an eye. The most important thing was that he blocked the arrows fired at close range with one hand without any damage...
This kind of monster is probably invulnerable to swords and guns, so why not run away quickly? Anyway, peasant army generals like Li Guo are experienced in gathering defeated soldiers and re-enlisting the people. The Central Plains and the Northwest have long been ravaged by these bandits. If they robbed food, wouldn’t it be forcing ordinary people to follow the bandits? What does it mean that King Chuang doesn’t pay grain? He really doesn’t need to pay grain, because the peasant army robbed it all.
These people were used to running away, so they immediately started to flee in different directions. As for the civilians they had taken with them? Oh, it didn't matter at all. If they were lost, they would be lost. After all, they could raise a large number of people after robbing somewhere. Moreover, if they were thrown to the government troops, if they were civilians, they would have a headache about how to accommodate these civilians. It would also be good to eat the government's food. Bai Lang urged his horse to charge forward. The people in front of him had their backs to him, so he just had to chop them down.
"They are all small fry. The real bandits run so fast!" Bai Lang's horse was heavily loaded and could not run very fast, let alone catch up with the bandits who were throwing away their belongings in order to escape. They might even think that the government troops would make a mess to pick up the property and then attack them. The Ming army that followed behind was exactly as Bai Lang expected. They started to rob the property on the ground and were busy chopping off people's heads. They were no longer in formation.
If the enemy launched a counterattack, the government troops would be finished. However, they could not do it, because Bai Lang had already cut down the central army flag, and any guy who tried to gather the army to counterattack had his head chopped off and hung on the saddle. Bai Lang had no chance of fighting in this small-scale attack - those cavalry had gathered dozens of cavalry and wanted to take this opportunity to kick back the government troops, but Bai Lang directly rushed forward and showed those people what it meant to be invulnerable.
It was really invulnerable, because the horses of both sides could not accelerate, and could only charge forward in small steps. In this way, the spears in their hands could not penetrate Bai Lang's Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover, and even the Shanwen Armor would probably be difficult to pierce directly. Even if it penetrated the Shanwen Armor, it would still be blocked by the chain mail, not to mention the Golden Bell Cover that was like plate armor - and this plate armor was extremely tough...
So after realizing this, Bai Lang just let go and killed without much defense. In the blink of an eye, he killed dozens of riders in front of him and half of them. The people who were forced to flee could not escape. They were already malnourished and did not know where to run. The most important thing was that they were still a little bit in awe of the government troops. The thousands of government troops would not necessarily behead them all and take the reward, right? In fact, they really did not dare to do so . Even if the Ming army wanted to do it, Governor Deng would not dare to do so.
But there was nothing you could do about these people. Governor Deng had no choice but to send letters to all the prefectures and counties, asking them to be responsible for comforting these refugees. "They are all the children of the Ming Dynasty. We cannot abandon them to the enemy again..." After the war, they could not move for several days, and had to deal with various aftermaths. Bai Lang didn't care about the aftermath. He was a warrior, so he only had to charge into the battle. He didn't even have to arrange the troops. He was a fighting general, not a war general. Bai Lang didn't get promoted even after chopping off so many heads. The heads of bandits were not worth much, at least not enough for promotion. Bai Lang didn't want the money.
"My understanding of swordsmanship has improved a lot. I'm familiar with the nature of the long-handled broadsword. It seems that the improvement of martial arts must be achieved through killing." Bai Lang practiced martial arts in his yard while feeling his gains. His martial arts became more and more mature, and the fierce aura revealed in the true meaning of the tiger form became more and more fierce. Now he looked like a man-eating tiger.
The strength of the tiger claws and the energy that penetrated the bones were even more terrifying. When the body turned, there was already a sense of shock - just like a tiger pouncing on its prey, the average opponent would probably have a blank mind and be easily killed. The skill of the Golden Bell Cover also made great progress. When breaking through the formation, he used spears, swords, arrows and arrows. Even though he was wearing armor to reduce damage and could not take a beating, he still made some progress.
The internal force was even more powerful and there was no sense of sluggishness when it was in operation. The fourth level of the Golden Bell Cover seemed not to be far away, but had already appeared on the horizon. "I still can't perform the splitting palm power in the novel." Bai Lang muttered. At this time, he had followed Governor Deng to Governor Sun. The two governors brought their respective troops to meet, but according to the unwritten rules, the two would soon separate again. After all, they were all governors and couldn't stay together.
Naturally, the subordinates of both sides also met each other. The generals under Governor Sun also heard about Bai Lang's bravery, killing hundreds of Donglu, and recently killing Li Guo's troops, who were also cunning . So these people also came to see Bai Lang, and while entertaining him, they also came to see if this man was bragging - and then they were all afraid. At this time, Bai Lang's martial arts had not yet reached the so-called peak of returning to the original state. The murderous aura on his body was exposed. Although his expression was calm, those people saw it as a big insect walking towards them silently.
As for the subsequent martial arts performance, the military commanders watching were stunned when Bai Lang tore open a chain mail with his bare hands and knocked down a wall with one punch. However, Bai Lang continued to perform the Thirteen Taibao's horizontal training of the Golden Bell Cover. He was seen with his upper body naked, and the soldiers chopped him with swords and axes, stabbed him with spears and shot him with arrows, but they couldn't even break his skin. Some military commanders who didn't believe in evil tried it themselves, and the result confirmed Bai Lang's "invulnerability to swords and guns". Governor Sun and Governor Deng also saw it and were amazed, so everyone asked Bai Lang what this was - many people thought it was a magic talisman or something like that...
"The Thirteen Guardians practiced the Golden Bell Cover!" Bai Lang answered their questions gently, "I have practiced hard since I was young, and I have achieved something." He lied here. A scholar beside Governor Sun also smiled, "Young man, you have great internal strength..." This voice seemed to only ring in Bai Lang's ears. Bai Lang glanced at the scholar and saw that he had a gentle face and bright eyes, a long beard and a long sword on his waist.
