Thief Emperor

Chapter 132: Resurrection from a dead body!

After Li Yun prepared for two or three hours, he realized that he had once again overestimated Linshui's "army", or perhaps they had not had time to grow into a qualified army.

Because Li discovered that the army near the water had only walked forty miles until sunset, and began to rest on the spot more than ten miles away from Tianmu Mountain.

It was not until the next morning that Captain He took them to continue their journey to Tianmu Mountain. By this time, Li Yun had been waiting for them for a whole night.

Fortunately, someone noticed their resting movements and reported it to Li Yun in time, otherwise Li would have really spent the whole night in vain.

By then, if you work too hard and wait for the right time, you might actually suffer a small loss.

After Captain He and his party arrived at the foot of Tianmu Mountain, they looked up at the mountain, which was not very tall, and turned back to ask the person who reported the news, "Is this Tianmu Mountain?"

"Yes, General."

"Tianmu Mountain Dazhai is right on the mountain."

Captain He thought about it and was about to issue an order to his men to go up the mountain. A lieutenant beside him had an ominous thought in his mind. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain He, the more I think about this, the more strange it seems. Yuezhou sent people to look for us before, and we also sent people to Tianmu Mountain. The Tianmu Mountain stronghold was empty without a single person. How come these bandits suddenly came back and brought General He back with them?"

"General, do you think it's the imperial army's dog troops who are setting up an ambush?"

Captain He smiled in silence and said, "The imperial army is still in Ningguo and has not yet entered Qiantang County. There are tens of thousands of them in Ningguo, and the king has been sending people to keep an eye on them."

"If there is any movement, how could we here on the front line not know about it?"

"You scare yourself."

Captain He said in a deep voice: "On the mountain, there are at most a group of bold bandits. Don't think too much, just follow me up the mountain!"

The reason why Captain He made this judgment was because of information asymmetry.

To put it bluntly, the combat units of the Qiudian Group are now very rough and not fully formed, and the intelligence units are even more lacking. It can even be said that there is no complete intelligence agency, only a few scattered intelligence personnel.

It was already not easy for them to know that Su Jing's army was stationed outside Ningguo County. If they were to know more details, the existing intelligence capabilities of Yuezhou Group would have to be expanded at least tenfold!

The second reason is even simpler.

Fellow countryman Qiu Dian has become the King of Yue and may even unify the country in the future. As Qiu Dian's fellow countryman and even a friend who grew up together, He Duwei...

He wants to progress so much!

Rescuing the leader's brother-in-law is undoubtedly a great achievement.

Following Captain He's order, the three or four hundred people he brought began to walk along the mountain path towards Tianmu Mountain.

At this time, Li Zheng, who had been hiding nearby, suddenly waved his hand, and a young man beside him immediately set off and ran to report the news to Li Yun.

At this time, Li Yun was afraid of attracting the attention of the Linshui troops, so he did not get too close and was still one or two miles away from the Tianmu Mountain Road.

After receiving the news, Li Yun picked up a spear, waved his hand, and rushed towards Tianmu Mountain with more than 200 people behind him.

He did not bring all the people with him. Most of the people he led now were members of the anti-theft team that he had trained.

It’s not that there is any difference in closeness or distance, or that Li Yun discriminates against newcomers.

The truth is that those new recruits, especially those from Shidai, had never been on a battlefield, let alone seen blood. No one knew what would go wrong if they went to the battlefield.

At such a critical moment, the tamed bandits are more reliable, and at this particular moment, the combat effectiveness of the original one hundred or so bandits is almost equal to the total combat effectiveness of Li Yun's subordinates.

As for the other recruits, they are just icing on the cake.

More than 200 people followed Li Yun, and in just a cup of tea, they reached the foot of Tianmu Mountain.

Li Yun looked up at Tianmu Mountain, then looked at Zhou Liang standing beside him, and said slowly: "Uncle San, I will lead them to fight only the first round. After the first round, you will lead those new soldiers to take over."

Zhou Liang was stunned.

"Captain, didn't you say those new soldiers were useless?"

“So you have to practice.”

Li slowly tightened his grip on the gun and said calmly, "Fight a few battles, see a little blood, and it will be useful."

At this point, Mr. Li waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Go up the mountain!"

One or two hundred people shouted in unison: "Yes!"

They followed Li Yun along the mountain path and rushed towards Tianmu Mountain like a tiger returning to the mountains.

Not long after they went up, they saw the men that Captain He had left at the foot of the mountain to guard the mountain road. When they saw Li Yun and so many others going up the mountain, they panicked for a moment: "Who... who are you and what are you doing!"

Mr. Li waved his hand with a blank expression.

A dozen crossbowmen came forward and pulled the trigger without saying a word. A dozen crossbow arrows immediately pierced the five or six people. Li Yun looked at the bodies of these people with an expressionless face: "Continue to go up the mountain!" The dozen crossbowmen came forward swiftly and retrieved the crossbow arrows that had been shot.

Li Yun called two people over and said in a deep voice: "Take off their clothes!"

Without saying a word, the two men began to strip clothes off the body.

Mr. Li continued to climb the mountain.

On both sides of the mountain road, the men left behind by Captain He were discovered one after another. They were all shot dead one by one by a dozen crossbowmen, and their clothes were also stripped off.

Captain He and his group were not fools. After hearing the screams and shouts behind them, they naturally realized something was wrong. So, Captain He decisively gave up going up the mountain and instead ordered his subordinates to turn around, especially the dozen or so archers he brought up the mountain, to change the direction of their arrows and face down the mountain.

Finally, the two sides met face to face!

The distance is less than a hundred steps.

Captain He, wearing armor, looked at the one or two hundred people in front of him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least in terms of numbers, his side has the advantage, with more than 300 people around him!
So he looked up at Li Yun and shouted, "Who dares to kill the soldiers under the command of the King of Yue!"

Li Yun didn't even look at him, but turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, or to be more precise, a group of "bandits".

With a blank expression on his face, he shouted, "Crossbowmen, move forward. Crossbowmen, fire one volley. Archers, fire two volleys!"

"Then, we just charge for a while, and after a while, we strip off whatever clothes we can from them, and then we go down the mountain immediately!"

"Do you understand?"

These people have followed Li Yun for at least several months. Some, like those from Black Tiger Mountain, have followed Li Yun for half a year and have experienced many small-scale fights between bandits.

They were already very familiar with Li Yun's orders, and they all responded in a deep voice: "Understood!"

Li Yun waved his hand and shouted, "Go!"

Soon, more than a dozen crossbowmen and twenty archers who could shoot arrows under his command all came forward. According to the order of the great leader Li, after the crossbowmen fired three rounds of volleys, Li Yun shouted and rushed out first!

"Come at me!"

The group of "bandits" behind him also laughed and rushed out behind Li Yun.

What's even more outrageous is that those archers who shot arrows also put their bows and crossbows on their backs, tied them tightly, drew their weapons, and rushed forward screaming!
Captain Li is clear about rewards and punishments. One head is a credit and a reward!
The combat enthusiasm is naturally maximized!
Captain He's group were already a little confused.

After several rounds of arrows, seeing Li Yun and others rushing up, Captain He drew his long sword and shouted, "Go!"

Three hundred people rushed down from top to bottom towards Li Yun and his group of less than two hundred people.

And the result is self-evident.

The two sides only had one round of collision!
These Yuezhou soldiers stationed by the water were torn to pieces!
The most outrageous thing was that Li Yun, who was rushing in the front, led a group of bandits and, like the tip of a gun, broke the already fragile camp of the Yuezhou rebels into pieces!
Li Yun killed his way forward for dozens of feet, then turned around and killed back!
In one round, at least a hundred Yuezhou soldiers fell to the ground!

Li Yun had a blank expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "Line up and take off their clothes!"

After the collision, Captain He suffered a great loss and of course did not dare to advance again. However, when they saw that Li Yun and others stopped attacking and started to take off the clothes of the corpses and wounded on the ground, Captain He and others were confused.

But soon, Captain He reacted, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Not good, not good!"

The two lieutenants asked, "General He, what's wrong?"

"These people are government troops, they are government troops!"

"Their target is not us, it's Linshui, it's Linshui!"

"Come on, come on!"

He called a man over and said in a deep voice, "Find a small path down the mountain and report back to Linshui immediately!"

But at this point, no matter how much he shouted, it was already too late.

Li Yun had already obtained more than a hundred sets of clothes. He looked at Captain He, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand and said, "Leave the things here to others, let's go down the mountain!"

Li Yun led a group of "fierce bandits" down the mountain in a mighty manner.

After they reached the foot of the mountain, Zhou Liang quickly led other recruits to the front, while Li Yun looked at his subordinates and grinned.

"Brothers, change your clothes!"

"Let's get to Linshui before Linshui receives the news!"
