Thief Emperor

Chapter 142 Three pieces of information!

Since ancient times, talented and brave men like Li Yun were born to be on the battlefield.

In the past, being a bandit was considered a waste of talent.

This time, Li Yun finally had his first official fight with a real army on the battlefield, and he finally shined.

With such a fierce man rushing in the front, a group of soldiers from the anti-theft team following behind him were also full of fighting spirit, and they forcibly forced the rebels who had already entered Linshui County to retreat!
This means that, at least in local battlefields like the city gate, Li Yun's troops had an absolute advantage!
Mr. Li was dragging a long spear behind him. As he walked forward, the rebels retreated. No one dared to get within a radius of ten feet from him!

This gun is so scary!

The speed is fast and the force is heavy!
Those who cannot react in time will be killed instantly. Those who can react in time can use their weapons to block, but they will be unable to do so at all!

It seems that the only way to deal with it is to escape from the range of the gun.

Li Yun chased him out for more than ten feet. He wanted to go further, but was grabbed by Zhou Liang. Zhou Liang whispered, "Captain, let's go back to the city!"

Li Yun then calmed down a little and looked around.

At this moment, most of his men were still in the city, because he had gone too far out of the city, and the rebels who were forced out of the city by him had already surrounded him.

Li Yun took a deep breath and began to retreat slowly.

When they retreated to the city gate, Li Yun looked back at Zhou Liang and took a few breaths: "Let's go back to the city first and guard the city gate."

Zhou Liang responded and protected Li Yun and retreated back to the city.

However, the city gate had been pushed down, and Linshui County was now without a city gate. However, the rebels had already realized how powerful they were. Seeing Zhou Liang and others guarding the city gate, they did not dare to enter the city through the city gate for a while.

Who knows if that killer is still there?
When Li Yun returned to the city and took off his armor, the adrenaline subsided and a feeling of weakness came over him, making his legs go soft.

When people are excited, especially when fighting, adrenaline is secreted at a very rapid rate, making people unaware of fatigue or even pain.

Now that the excitement had subsided, Li Yun realized that he had exhausted some of his physical strength.

After all, he had been fighting almost non-stop for half an hour, consuming a huge amount of physical strength.

Zhou Liang helped him sit down and said, "Captain, you must pay attention to this on the battlefield. You must not waste too much energy."

"Many generals were like this. They ran out of strength while fighting and fell on the battlefield."

"Otherwise, you'll be able to escape back anyway."

Li Yun drank a sip of the cold water handed to him by the person next to him and let out a long breath: "It seems that Third Uncle really served in the army."

Zhou Liang's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

After taking several breaths, Li Yun finally recovered a little. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw Su Sheng had come down from the city wall and trotted up to him. Before he got close, he gave him a thumbs up from a distance.

"Brother Li, you are so brave!"

Li Yun looked at him and asked, "Is everything okay on the city wall?"

"They've retreated for now."

Su Sheng said, "They are probably stationed outside the city. They were probably planning to take Linshui in one fell swoop, but when they saw Brother Li, who was like a god of war, they were scared away."

Li Yun smiled calmly: "It's just relying on the excellent armor. If it weren't for this armor, many lives would have been lost."

"You can't say that."

Su Sheng looked at the armor on Li Yun's body and the spear in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your armor must weigh at least 10 to 20 kilograms, and this spear must also weigh several kilograms. If an ordinary person wears this kind of armor and weapons, it would be difficult for him to move, let alone fight in battle."

After praising Li Yun for a few words, the major general sat down next to Li Yun and asked, "Brother Li, didn't you say before that you wanted to give these rebels a try? How do you feel now?"

Li Yun thought for a moment and replied, "They are much stronger than those we encountered near Tianmu Mountain, but they still don't seem that powerful."

He pondered for a while and said, “I don’t know if all of Zhao Cheng’s troops are like this, or if this army is just mediocre under Zhao Cheng’s command.”

"This is the size of a captain's battalion."

Su Sheng exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "After what you did to them, Brother Li, this captain's camp may not dare to attack Linshui again."

"Even if we fight again, it won't be like today."

Mr. Li stood up, stretched his muscles, and said with a smile: "Wait an hour or two, I will rest well and go out of the city to find trouble with them."

"Would you like to go with me, Major General?"

"Go, of course I will." Su Sheng clapped his hands and smiled, "It is a blessing to see Brother Li using a gun. The gun flew up and down in Brother Li's hand like a black dragon."

"I am strong."

Mr. Li was very modest and smiled, "I don't have any other skills."

After the two men exchanged a few polite words, Li Yun climbed up the city wall again. Sure enough, the rebels attacking the city outside had all retreated.

"Brother Li has killed at least 20 to 30 enemies in today's battle alone."

Su Sheng looked at Li Yun and said with a smile: "I will report this achievement to the general truthfully."

Li Yun waved his hand: "It's not a big deal."

He called Li Zheng and Zhou Liang and assigned tasks to them respectively.

Zhou Liang's job was naturally to repair the city gate that had been knocked down.

Li Zheng led his men out of the city to investigate the location where the rebels were stationed outside the city.

By the evening, the city gate had been repaired, and Li Zheng had also discovered the exact location of the enemy's camp, which was less than ten miles away from Linshui City.

He counted the hands of two hundred men, and then asked someone to find Su Sheng and said, "Major General, I need your cavalry to cooperate with me."

Su Sheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Li is going to attack the camp?"

Li Yun also smiled.

"At least try. We can't let them rest so comfortably."

Su Sheng nodded readily and said in a deep voice: "I will have the cavalry approach the water."

Most of the one hundred cavalrymen under Su Sheng did not stay in Linshui County, but were cruising outside the city.

After all, mature cavalrymen are too valuable to be placed in Linshui County. Firstly, it is not safe, and secondly, once they enter the city, these cavalrymen will basically have their legs broken and will be of no use.

After arranging the cavalry, Li Yun left Linshui with only two or three hundred people and headed straight for the rebel base outside the city.

The reason why he was so bold was that after coming into contact with them, he found that the fighting effectiveness of these rebels was not that strong.

Second, no one would have thought that he was so brave that he would dare to go out of the city and attack the camp when he was outnumbered.

The sky gradually darkened, and Li Yun, who was ready to fight again, quietly left Linshui County with his subordinates.

Under the guidance of Li Zheng, they rushed straight to the rebel camp without hesitation.

It must be mentioned that these rebels did not have many necessary qualities of a soldier. It was fine that they did not achieve any success in attacking the city during the day, but at night, they were not prepared at all and Su Sheng led the cavalry to break into the camp and set it on fire, causing chaos in the entire camp.

Li Yun and others had already arrived near the rebel camp at this time. He no longer carried a gun, but a heavy one-handed knife.

Looking at the military camp on fire, Li Yun narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Charge with me!!"

More than two hundred people responded in unison, followed Li Yun, and rushed towards the rebel camp in a mighty manner.

After a while, shouts and calls for killing were heard.

…………

The next day, General Su, who was still in Ningguo, received a total of three pieces of intelligence, all of which were sent by his son Su Sheng.

The first piece of intelligence stated that Linshui was surrounded by a rebel battalion.

This information made General Su frown. Just when he was hesitating whether to send reinforcements to rescue Linshui, the second piece of information had already arrived.

The second piece of intelligence reported the details of the Linshui victory, which made General Su pat his thigh and shout, "Great!"

He closed the intelligence and muttered, "That rascal is really born to be on the battlefield..."

After muttering something, General Su began to deal with other military affairs. Half a day later, a messenger knelt in front of Su Jing and saluted deeply.

"General, urgent report from the water!"

Su Jing frowned and looked at the information presented to him.

"What did that kid do again?"
