Thief Emperor

Chapter 448: Virtual and Real Correspondence
Li Yun hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time and had been itching to do it.

Even if the heavy rain had not stopped at this time, it would be difficult to extinguish the boiling blood in Li Yun. He held up his spear and shouted in a low voice: "Yang Xi, charge with me!"

When Li Yun charged into the battle line before, Yang Xi and others had always been protecting his left and right wings. Although they had not been in the battle line for a while, they were not unfamiliar with it. Yang Xi responded and waved to several good guards on the side. Soon, eight people stood on both sides of Li Yun.

At this time, the east was already light, and from the sky, one could clearly see the number of tents at Liuhe Ferry. Judging from the number of tents, it was estimated that there were about four to five hundred people stationed here.

This is already a considerable number of troops. After all, a large part of the Pinglu Army is still scattered in various states and counties in Huainan Road. In addition, the Pinglu Army also needs to besiege Yangzhou and blockade the north bank of the nearby river.

Under such circumstances, the fact that five or six hundred men were deployed at Liuhe Ferry showed that General Zhou attached great importance to this ferry.

This is not surprising. Just south of Liuhe Ferry is Li Yun’s base camp Jinling. Zhou Xu would naturally worry that Li Yun would come north from Jinling to rescue Jiangbei.

At this moment, although the sky was slightly bright, the heavy rain had not stopped. In the rain, Li Yun, holding a spear, shouted the word "kill". The seven hundred soldiers behind him rushed towards the tent of the Liuhedu garrison in a mighty manner.

It rained all night, and although the Pinglu Army garrison patrolled, the patrol range was very small. They did not react until they heard the shouts of Li Yun and others.

The officer who was ordered to guard here was a captain of the Pinglu Army named Zhu Kang. When he rushed out of the camp with his armor on, Li Yun was only a hundred feet away from him. Captain Zhu was so scared that he gritted his teeth and said, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry! Ask for help, go and ask for help!"

Next to him, a big man swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "Boss, I'll go get help!"

Captain Zhu looked back at him, then kicked him on the butt and cursed, "You are just a brigade commander, why are you asking for help! You obviously want to run away!"

"Mengzi, go and tell them that a large number of enemy troops are coming! They want to seize Liuhe Ferry!"

Captain Zhu looked at Li Yun and the others who were charging over, swallowed his saliva, and added, "Mostly they are soldiers from Jiangnan!"

The man he called Mengzi was a teenager of only sixteen or seventeen years old, named Zhu Meng, a fellow townsman of Captain Zhu.

After he responded, he immediately ran away to report the news.

Li Yun had already rushed into the enemy camp at this moment. He naturally saw the young man running out of the military tent. With a smile on his face, Li Yun shot and rushed into the enemy camp.

He stepped forward and thrust his spear forward like lightning. The enemy, who was rushing to fight in panic, didn't even have time to react before he was stabbed in the armor by the spear, and blood splattered everywhere!

Li Yun took advantage of the situation to draw his gun, then held the gun with both hands and swept across a wide area, once again hitting an enemy soldier right in the chest, knocking the man to the ground.

"it is good!"

Yang Xi shouted "good", drew his sword and stepped forward, giving the fallen enemy one more blow, and said with a smile: "Your spear skills are getting better and better!"

In the past year, Li Yun seldom fought with others, but he did not stop practicing martial arts, especially his pistol skills, which he practiced every day unless he encountered something extremely urgent.

There's no way. With his physique, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't sweat profusely every day.

The innate fighting holy body.

After sending the two men flying, Li Yun let out a long roar and rushed into the enemy formation once again. After a short while, he killed people back and forth, disrupting the enemy's barely formed formation into a mess.

At this time, the defenders who were already hastily fighting against Liuhe Ferry had almost no room to fight back.

Li Yun's two hundred guards were the elite among the Jiangdong army. With his presence in person, the morale of the entire army was high. As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, they crushed the enemy.

Li Yun was sharp-eyed and soon spotted the figure of Captain Zhu Kang in the enemy's formation. He strode forward and shouted, "Charge with me again!"

After saying that, he locked onto his target and strode towards Zhu Kang. Any enemies he encountered along the way were killed by his gun. In such a small-scale battlefield, Li Yun, wearing armor, could almost be said to be in an empty space.

In the time it took for an incense stick to pass, Li Yun rushed in front of Zhu Kang. He thrust his spear forward and thrust it straight at him. Zhu Kang dodged the spear with a desperate roll. Li Yun took advantage of the situation and moved forward closely, knocking Zhu Kang to the ground with an Iron Mountain Lean!

People who use spears generally don't like to get close to the enemy. They want to kill the enemy outside the range of their spears. After all, a weapon like a spear with a wide range of motion will appear a bit cumbersome once a short weapon gets close to it.

But Li Yun doesn't have this problem, or rather, he doesn't have this weakness.

Not to mention that he was carrying a sword, his abnormal strength alone was enough to make ordinary people unable to withstand his punches and kicks if they got close to him.

Even Pei Zhuang, one of the top ten masters in the capital, had his arm broken by one punch from him, and it took him half a year to recover.

The captain of the Pinglu Army couldn't hold on at all. He was hit by him and almost fainted.

Yang Xi was about to step forward to finish off the enemy as usual, but was stopped by Li Yun. Li Yun looked at Zhu Kang on the ground and said slowly, "This man is a leader."

"Catch him alive and tie him up with ropes."

"Yes!" Yang Xi responded, quickly found a rope and tied Zhu Kang tightly.

At this time, the battle had basically come to an end. Only a small number of the five or six hundred garrison troops were left. The rest had basically fled.

After all, Li Yun came here to seize Liuhe Ferry and did not form an encirclement. They fled in a scattered manner and their side had been wet in the rain all night, so it was really difficult to chase them.

Seeing that the enemy had fled but the tent was still there, Li Yun said without hesitation: "Go into the tent and light a fire immediately. Half of the people will be on martial law, and the other half will take off their armor and clothes and dry their clothes!"

After a night of rushing and a fierce battle that lasted for nearly half an hour, almost everyone's clothes were soaked even with rain gear.

Under normal circumstances, a man would just let his clothes get wet, but now he is on the battlefield, and even the slightest unfavorable factor may change the outcome of a war.

If someone in Jiangbei gets sick, it means that they will most likely have to withdraw from the battle directly.

Soon, everyone occupied the tents left by the Pinglu Army and started to make a fire and dry clothes. Even Li Yun took off his armor and started to dry his clothes.

He was wearing his inner clothes and would walk out of the tent from time to time to check the sky and calculate the time.

After a long while, when his clothes were all dried, Li Yun called Zhou Bi and ordered, "Go and notify Chen Da immediately and tell him..."

"It's almost time."

The purpose of attacking Liuhe Ferry was to attract nearby troops to Liuhe Ferry, and at the same time tell the Pinglu Army that the main force of Jiangdong reinforcements was at Liuhe Ferry, ready to occupy Liuhe Ferry, and thus attract more reinforcements from Jiangnan.

In this situation, all the Pinglu Army troops nearby will definitely come to rescue.

In fact, Li Yun’s main force is not at Liuhe Ferry, but with Chen Da. At that time, Chen Da will have the opportunity to capture Liuhe County!

Zhou Bi looked at Li Yun, but he also knew that he quickly responded at this moment, turned around and ran to report the news.

Li Yun put on the coat that had been dried on the rack, then looked at Yang Xi beside him and said with a smile: "We will stay here in Liuhe Ferry until dark, is there any problem?"

Yang Xi smiled and said, "With the envoy here, I don't think it will be difficult to occupy this ferry, let alone guard it for a day."

"Flattery."

Li Yun glared at him and began to put on his armor again slowly.

Yang Xi stood up, helped Li Yun put on his armor, and said with a smile: "This is what I really mean. In my opinion, you are invincible."

"Who in the world is a match for you?"

Li Yun smiled dumbly: "Isn't it because you are so shallow?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scout came running over and knelt on the ground: "Sir, a small group of enemies has been spotted nearby, and they are moving towards Liuhe Ferry!"

"It came so quickly."

At this moment, his armor was already fully put on.

Yang Xi smiled and said, "The enemy is a small group and they don't dare to come over. There must be at least 500 people to dare to come and fight for Liuhe Ferry."

"In the eyes of the Pinglu Army."

Li Yun began to wipe the blood off his spear with a white cloth. As he wiped, he said, "If we occupy this ferry for a while longer, we may be able to transport more people from Jiangnan."

"They'll be anxious."

Yang Xi also began to put on his armor. He stood beside Li Yun and grinned, "That's even better. Let's see if these small groups of enemy troops will come and die."

……

On the other side, Zhou Bi rode his horse all the way back to the main camp. After seeing Chen Da, he briefly reported the situation. Chen Da sat in his seat and did not move for a long time.

Zhou Bi was anxious and asked, "General Chen, why don't you move your troops?"

Chen Da stood up, looked outside the tent, slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing became rapid.

"Wait a little longer. Wait a little longer."
