Thief Emperor

Chapter 165 Become famous!
Under the moonlight, Li Yun led his men into the military tent.

The reason why he was able to get so close was, firstly, because Zhao Cheng really did not expect that there was an army between him and Qiantang!
All his scouts were placed in the east, to keep an eye on Su Jing's main force. Once Su Jing's pursuit speed increased, he would break camp in advance to avoid Su Jing's main force.

Under such circumstances, Li Yun was able to get close to his camp.

If it were normal times, even at night, with Zhao Cheng's skills, Li Yun and others would most likely be discovered by Zhao Cheng's scouts if they got within ten or even twenty miles.

And it was this time that Li Yun seized the opportunity!
His troops, nearly a thousand men, have been training for a long time, and their food has also been improved in the past two months. Although they are not as good as those elite soldiers who have experienced many battles, they can at least be said to be young and strong!
In addition, the grassroots captains of these thousand people were almost all born bandits. A group of bandits followed the big bandit Li Yun and rushed into the rebel camp roaring!

Killing someone is a merit. If I die, Captain Li will give me a pension, not a penny less!
What’s more, Captain Li is right in the front, so what is there to be afraid of?

With these thoughts in mind, although Li Yun's troops did not have "military police" responsible for military discipline, nor did they have a special supervision team to kill their own people, most of the more than a thousand people rushed forward.

The attack on the camp must have been accompanied by arson, and now the tents were already ablaze with fire!
Li Yun took a step forward and accurately killed a rebel with the spear in his hand. Then he strode to a burning tent and used his spear to throw the burning part of the tent onto another tent!

At this time, the night wind started to blow, and the fire took advantage of the wind, making a "whoosh" sound. The burning tents were also blown with a rustling sound!
When Zhao Cheng personally led his men to the front line of the battlefield, the southwest corner of the entire camp had been turned upside down by Li Yun and a thousand others!

Many rebel soldiers were awakened in panic, and before they had time to fight back, they were frightened and retreated.

But in the darkness of night, it was impossible to tell exactly how many people there were including Li Yun and the others. They only felt that the number of the government troops was endless. For a moment, many people became frightened and retreated in fear!

When Zhao Cheng saw the characters "Zheng" illuminated by the fire, he was certain that this was the army of Zheng Wei, the commander of the observation and disposal team. He held his spear in his hand and shouted angrily, "Soldiers of the first camp, charge with me!"

Then he shouted, "Qian Bing, go and organize the troops! Don't run, don't make a mess!"

Qian Bing responded and immediately led his men to shout loudly to gather the army that had already fallen into chaos.

Zhao Cheng raised his gun and rushed towards Li Yun and others.

At this time, Li Yun was still rushing in the front, and Zhao Cheng was also rushing in the front. Zhao Cheng was wearing silver armor, while Li Yun was wearing black armor.

The two sides discovered each other almost at the same time. Seeing Li Yun covered in blood, Zhao Cheng roared angrily and stabbed him fiercely with the spear in his hand.

Li Yun swept his spear across, easily blocking the shot, then the body of the spear stuck to Zhao Cheng's spear and the tip of the spear slid along the body of Zhao Cheng's spear, directly from the tip to the tail of his spear!

If I don't let go this time, Li Yun will probably knock my fingers off!

Zhao Cheng held the gun with both hands, pushed it upwards, blocked Li Yun's gun, then turned around and swept it horizontally. His gun turned a circle, and now it was very powerful. The correct way to deal with it should have been to jump back a step to get out of his gun circle, but Li Yun relied on his great strength, held the gun with both hands, and blocked the sweep of the gun!
Then Li smiled grimly, took two or three steps forward, and bumped into General Zhao, knocking him ten feet away and causing him to fall to the ground!

Li Yun wanted to rush forward, but Zhao Cheng's guards caught up with him, waving their weapons and forcing him back.

Zhao Cheng was wearing armor, so he wasn't seriously injured by the collision. He just felt a little chest tightness. When he opened his mouth, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He broke away from the guards on both sides, looked up at Li Yun in black armor, and felt extremely angry.

In terms of martial arts and gun skills, he is not inferior to Li Yun. As he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, it can even be said that he is better than Li Yun. The reason why he was defeated quickly when both sides used guns was because the opponent was too strong!
If it was an ordinary person, the spear in his hand might have been knocked away by him and he would have died under his spear!
After Li Yun took a few steps back, he looked at Zhao Cheng who had already stood up and said with a smile: "Your shooting skills are not bad."

This was not a mockery. Li had always been gifted in martial arts. For such a long time, only Pei Zhuang was better than him. The young man in silver armor in front of him was not inferior to him in martial arts, and was even better in spearmanship.

Zhao Cheng had a gloomy face. He only took a deep look at Li Yun and said in a muffled voice, "Stop them. It will take at most half an hour. Once we have our formation in place, we can wipe out all the invading enemies!"

Li Yun didn't know that this man was Zhao Cheng. Seeing him running away, he didn't chase him. He waved his hand and shouted, "Follow me again!"

He once again raised his spear and charged into the battle array.

A night of fierce fighting.

By the second half of the night, Zhao Cheng's troops, who had been in a panic before, finally organized their camp. Zhao Cheng, who was slightly injured, rode on his horse and looked at Li Yun's troops.

After fighting for half a night, he finally figured out the number of Li Yun's troops based on his experience. General Zhao waved his hand and said loudly: "They are not many, at most 1,500!"

"Surround them and wipe out these imperial lackeys!"

At General Zhao's command, the rebels, who had already organized their troops, immediately separated out one or two thousand people and headed to the left and right sides of Li Yun's troops, trying to surround Li Yun.

Faced with this situation, Li Yun was not panicked.

He could not deceive the enemy for long under the banner of Zheng Wei. As long as the battle lasted for a while, the enemy would easily find out how many people he had.

"Zhou Liang!"

He drank.

Zhou Liang quickly stepped forward and responded.

"My subordinate is here!"

"Defense in formation, defense in formation!"

Li Yun looked up at the sky and said in a hoarse voice: "At least, hold on until dawn!"

The purpose of the night attack on Zhao Cheng's camp was, after all, to stop them. If it wasn't a sneak attack, it would only be more difficult.

Now, the purpose of the sneak attack has been perfectly achieved, and the only thing left is to hold on and wait for help. In the past few months, Li Yun's men have not received much training, but they have trained both the offensive and defensive formations. Soon, everyone fought and retreated, and based on the terrain, they began to defend against the attacks from the rebels.

Li Yun found a high slope, hid himself behind some big trees and rocks, took out an ox-horn bow from behind, pulled the bow to its full pull, and shot an arrow to death a rebel who rushed up.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the crossbow mechanism was heard, and Deng Yang on the side also pulled the trigger, hitting a rebel.

At this moment, Deng Yang was covered in blood.

Li Yun looked at him and found that there was a wound on Deng Yang's shoulder, which was bleeding.

He looked at the rebels and didn't dare to attack for a while, so he put away his bow and arrow, looked at Deng Yang, and panted, "Boy, how do you feel?"

Deng Yang's face was already a little pale, but he still managed to force a smile and said, "Boss, being a government soldier..."

"It's much bloodier than being a bandit."

Li Yun smiled silently and was about to speak when the rebels organized a second round of attack.

He took a breath, patted Deng Yang on the shoulder and said, "Boy, don't move, watch me repel the enemy!"

Li Yun picked up his gun and strode towards the enemy.

At this moment, it was dawn, and the rebels saw the tall, blood-stained Li Yun coming towards them. They were so scared that they retreated one after another and dared not move forward.

Many people even turned around and ran away!

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

If the previous battle at Linshui only made Li Yun slightly famous, this blocking battle finally made him famous.

Captain Li held his spear upside down, and before his subordinates could catch up, he alone scared away more than a dozen rebels and repelled a wave of attacks!
At this time, the east had begun to turn white.

A scout hurried to Zhao Cheng, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "General, Su Jing's troops in the east are catching up!"

"It's less than twenty miles away from our unit!"

Zhao Cheng took a deep breath, coughed, and his face flushed.

He looked in the direction of Li Yun and said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that Qiantang can't go back for the time being."

"Pass on my order. Don't fight any longer. Break away from the government troops blocking the road. We are heading south!"

Deputy General Qian Bing looked at Zhao Cheng and asked, "General, where are we going south?"

"Go to Shan County."

Zhao Cheng lowered his head and said slowly: "Let's take a short break, then we will head southwest to Wuzhou!"

"Get rid of these government troops!"

Qian Bing first lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "But General, when we went to Wuzhou, the Heavenly King..."

"We'll take care of it if we can, but we can't even protect ourselves right now."

Zhao Cheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "First preserve your vitality, then make plans!"

"Yes!"

Qian Bing replied yes and went downstairs to make arrangements.

Zhao Cheng sat on his horse and asked, "Do you know the name of the black-armored soldier blocking the road?"

Someone stepped forward and said, "I don't know, but I can be sure that these people are not Zheng Wei's soldiers!"

"Go and find out."

Zhao Cheng narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "This man is like a monster on the battlefield. If these government troops didn't have him, it wouldn't have been so difficult for us to break through last night."

No matter in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons, the role of a role model is enormous. And a monster like Li Yun, who after putting on armor can be called a war machine, has an even greater role!

The four words "take the lead in the charge" are worth a thousand gold!

Zhao Cheng's troops quickly separated from Li Yun's troops and headed towards Shan County in the southwest.

And just when Zhao Cheng was leaving, he finally learned the name of the black-armored warrior.

"Li Zhao, Li Zhao..."
