Chapter 57
It's no wonder... Let's not talk about the fact that Bai Lang has a strong evil spirit at the moment. The tiger form makes him look like a man-eating tiger in the eyes of others. There is even a legend in the military camp that this General Bai is the White Tiger Star God from the sky who has come down to earth - his last name is Bai and doesn't everyone see him as a tiger? He kills people as swiftly and violently as a tiger... And the strange incident that everyone has passed on is that sometimes when they look at Bai Lang by mistake or their eyes pass by him, they will vaguely see a tiger sitting, but when they look closely, it is just Bai Lang sitting upright...
So how could such women withstand the might of the tiger? They didn't die of fright. They had already honed their courage in the military camp. "It's not easy to deal with if she faints..." Bai Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was not stupid enough to ask the other trembling women if he was scary. Because if he asked them, they would probably faint too. "Forget it, Master, I can wash myself. I don't need you to serve me." He waved his hand to signal the women to leave, and took the fainted woman out with him.
The women were terrified, and immediately knelt on the ground begging Bai Lang not to drive them out. "Why do you have to do this... But it doesn't matter, if you want to stay here, then stay here." At this time, the two women trembled and tried to drive their bodies to Bai Lang's side, to remove his blood-soaked clothes. Bai Lang's killing was not to the extent that his internal force could shock him without a drop of blood, and his internal force was not to the extent that he could spread the power of the qi around him.
"My hands are shaking like crazy." Bai Lang thought to himself, but he tried hard to restrain his internal strength. Perhaps this would reduce the intensity of the evil spirit? As for the so-called momentum, Bai Lang was not yet at the level of being able to release or hold it back. Although his hands were shaking, the two women finally undressed Bai Lang and said, "Don't want it, just throw it away. I think the blood on it can't be washed clean." Bai Lang said in a gentle tone.
In fact, Bai Lang took off most of his clothes by himself, because if he asked the two women to do it, first of all, their hands would be shaking and they would be too slow, and secondly, Bai Lang was not used to having women serve him in the bath. The water in the wooden barrel was adjusted to be slightly hot, and Bai Lang jumped into the water directly. First, he took the soap and scrubbed his whole body, mainly his hair - since the last time he returned from the modern era, Bai Lang still grew his hair according to custom.
Although there are no special restrictions on hair and beards in that world, people are still accustomed to dressing in ancient Chinese style. Of course, if you let your hair down, you can still be a wild boy. If you cut your hair short, no one will care if you are a monk. However, after practicing the Golden Bell Cover, Bai Lang felt that the cold and heat had less impact on him. Since it is not so hot, he can keep long hair. This situation is also good for him to integrate into the current world.
However, although long hair is not hot anymore, it is troublesome to wash it when it is dirty. The maids are also very smart. When they see Bai Lang untying his hair to wash, they rush up to help wash it together, carefully cleaning Bai Lang's hair. Soon, the first bucket of water was released, and the guards outside the door saw the red water in the wooden trough rushing out and flowing into the ditch outside. "How many people have been killed..." They secretly smacked their lips.
How many people did Bai Lang kill this time to quell the rebellion? He himself hadn't counted carefully, and the soldiers following him couldn't count either, but Bai Lang estimated that from Zuo Liangyu onwards, about 200 to 300 people died directly at his hands, right? As for the other tens of thousands of deaths, it could only be said that it was Ying Xiao's fault, mainly because that bunch of idiots had poor military management skills, and it had nothing to do with Bai Lang.
The water was naturally changed by the guards outside who brought in hot water. After changing the water twice, Bai Lang finally felt that he had washed himself clean, but his messy hair still needed time to dry. At this time, Bai Lang was wearing clothes and flipping through the books he had searched from the left army camp. Now was not the time to train his strength and practice martial arts, so he was looking for something to relax himself. As for the subsequent battles? That was something that Governor Deng had to worry about, and Bai Lang only had to be responsible for charging into the battle and killing people.
Governor Deng was full of energy at this time, and was still trying to seize the military power of these troops. He also had to quickly send troops to Xiangyang to break the siege of Xiangyang and, if possible, capture Zhang Xianzhong and send him to the capital for execution. Bai Lang's task was to select his own battalion leader, or at least guards who could follow him into battle. Bai Lang felt that it would be enough to just randomly select some cavalry. The opponent was not the Qing army but the bandits. Even though many of the bandits were originally the regular Ming army, Bai Lang did not think that they had become the official army.
Anyway, these days, whether it's the government army or the bandits, aren't they the same? He was not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the army at the end of the dynasty. If it was the combat effectiveness of the government army at the end of the Han Dynasty, it would be worth looking at, but the combat effectiveness of the government army at the end of the Ming Dynasty? Forget it. The same is true for the bandits. At present, only the Qing army has relatively strong combat effectiveness in the Asian continent - but the speed of this army's decline is rare since ancient times. At least Bai Lang remembered that these guys were no longer able to fight not long after entering the pass, and they had not even conquered the entire Chinese mainland at that time.
So Bai Lang only planned to recruit some cavalrymen. It was not that he looked down on Zhang Xianzhong . Even if the adopted sons of the Eight Kings attacked together, Bai Lang felt that he might be able to kill them in less than a cup of tea.
At dawn the next day, under the urging of Governor Deng, the original army of Zuo Liangyu had selected 5,000 "elites" and marched towards Xiangyang City under the "leadership" of Bai Lang. Bai Lang had never led troops before, and he actually had no intention of leading troops. Anyway, these soldiers had their own superiors, and the so-called command level was like this, and finally it was summarized to Bai Lang. Bai Lang had no confidants around him, and there was no such thing as a mentor accompanying the army. Almost all things were on him alone.
So this guy was completely irresponsible and didn't care at all. He let go of the power and let the guerrillas take care of their own areas. Then he just urged them to move forward with all their strength. And the order he issued was quite ridiculous, "The whole army should carry ten days of dry food, and don't set up camp, just follow me to charge the battle."
The subordinates were also shocked and tried to persuade him, "This is like going to die!" However, facing Bai Lang's fierce aura like a tiger, they could not persuade him, so they had to flee secretly... However, on the second day, the bodies of dozens of fleeing soldiers were thrown at the edge of the camp. Although hundreds of people escaped, all those who were caught up by Bai Lang were killed. "It's not good to lead the army with fear, but these soldiers of the left army are already scum, and it's not a pity to die. Besides, we will only use them this time, and it doesn't matter if they die after that!"
