Thief Emperor

Chapter 72 Breaking the door!

Following Liu Bo were almost all the fighting forces of the entire Cangshan Village, including the third in command Zhou Liang, and some brave farmhands.

Li Yun is a yamen runner from Qingyang. Apart from Li Yun, the best fighter is naturally Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu and Li Yun, each with a few yamen runners, went up from both sides of the mountain road, one on the left and one on the right.

This kind of mountain road was originally trampled out by people bit by bit, and there is basically no road on both sides of the mountain road.

This kind of road was very difficult for the yamen runners who had basically never lived in the mountains to walk on. In addition, they could not light torches, so many of them fell directly to the ground and were pierced by the broken stones and bled profusely.

Li Yun, Zhang Hu and Li Zheng all grew up in the mountains, so they had no problem navigating this road even in the dark.

At this time, Li Yun and Zhang Hu no longer cared about their teammates behind them. They each drew out the single-edged sword in their hands and reached upwards little by little in the dark night!
Li Yun had good eyesight. After he moved up about twenty meters, he vaguely saw someone in front of him, lying in the bushes.

The grass and trees on the roadside at this time are very different from those that have been rested or even designed as gardens. They can be said to be overgrown with shrubs. If there is no advance warning, it would be impossible to find this kind of ambush lying in the grass and trees on such a night with almost no moonlight!

Li Yun held his breath and stabbed the man in front of him with his long knife directly at the back. He was very strong and the knife almost pierced the man through the heart. He only had time to scream before he died!
Not long after this man screamed, another scream was heard not far away.

It was obvious that Zhang Hu had also taken action.

Li Yun succeeded in one blow, and immediately drew his sword, shouting, "You rats from the Ten Kings Village, you dare to ambush and kill the officials!"

After he shouted, the people on Chen Da's side who were originally walking slowly with torches in their hands also hurried forward. With the light of the torches and Li Yun's loud shout, the bandits hiding in the dark were frightened and climbed out of the bushes one by one. They did not even have the thought of resisting and fled back to the Ten Kings Camp in a panic.

These bandits had been living on the Ten Kings Peak and were very familiar with the terrain. Even though Li Yun was agile enough, he only left four or five of them, and the rest of the ambush troops disappeared into the night.

When Li Yun and a group of yamen runners chased to the gate of Shiwangzhai, the gate of the village was already closed.

At the same time, fires lit up in the Ten Kings Camp and arrows shot out from the camp, forcing Li Yun and others to retreat and temporarily avoid the attack.

After retreating to a safe distance, Li Yun pulled out an empty arrow from a crack in the stone nearby, took it in his hand, looked at it, frowned and said, "Eagle Feather Arrow, it's really rich!"

Eagle feathers are arrows made of eagle feathers, usually with birch shafts. They are the best arrows.

This thing is extremely expensive, costing dozens or even hundreds of dollars per piece.

Of course, this thing is not a regular configuration. It is a luxury arrow equipped by normal armies. It usually uses poultry feathers as feathers, and the price is far less expensive.

Li Zheng took the eagle feather arrow from Li Yun and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This Ten Kings Village is really generous. In our village, only Third Uncle has a few eagle feather arrows, and he usually doesn't want to use them."

After saying that, he looked up at the Ten Kings Camp and frowned, "Come to think of it, why hasn't there been any movement from Lao Jiu's place? If nothing happens there, our fight here will be in vain."

The twenty-odd yamen runners that Li Yun placed in front were only to attract the attention of these bandits. The real key to defeating the bandits lies in Liu Bo who took the small road. Only if they can sneak into the Ten Kings Village, will the surprise attack tonight have a chance of a complete victory!

Otherwise, there are at least two hundred people in the Ten Kings Camp, including sixty or seventy combat forces. It is impossible for Li Yun and his twenty-odd people to do anything!
Li Yun was also watching the movements of the Ten Kings Village. After frowning, he slowly said, "It seems that the people of the Ten Kings Village have been prepared for us tonight. They know that Sun Shouli has been captured, so it is natural that they cannot be unguarded on that small road."

As soon as Li Yun finished speaking, a fire suddenly appeared on the other side of the Ten Kings Village, followed by shouts of killing!

Li Zheng took a deep breath and whispered, "Second brother, the fight has started!"

Li Yun nodded, looked up at the gate of the Ten Kings Village in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "There are many people on Lao Jiu's side, and we will definitely send people to the main gate, Huzi!"

Zhang Hu responded immediately. Li Yun held the hilt of the knife, waited for a moment, and then shouted, "Follow me!"

After the two men stood up, Li Yun turned around and shouted, "Follow me into the Ten Kings Village!"

Li Yun's guess was absolutely correct. After passing Cangshan Village, internal strife had broken out within the Ten Kings Village in the past few days. Now there was a serious shortage of manpower. When Li Yun and others rushed towards the gate of the Ten Kings Village, the arrows had become too sparse.

It was night time, and people were hard to see. In this situation, there was no way to be accurate. If the arrow wanted to hit someone, it would depend on fate. In other words, only the unlucky ones would be hit!
Once the density decreases, the threat to Li Yun and others will be greatly reduced!

Moreover, with Li Yun and Zhang Hu rushing in the front, the overall morale of the team was greatly boosted. The yamen runners who had been timid in the past few months were now much braver and followed Li Yun, without any of them running back!

In just a moment, they almost reached the gate of the Ten Kings Village.

Just when Li Yun was about to approach the gate of Shiwangzhai, the gate of Shiwangzhai suddenly opened!

About twenty or thirty people rushed out from the Ten Kings Village!

In other words, it seemed like they were pushed out by someone!
Among these people, there were both men and women, some of them were holding weapons in their hands, but almost everyone was trembling with fear, and their legs were shaking.

Under the light of the torches, it can be clearly seen that among the people being pushed out, there are about a dozen women, all of them are half-naked, and some are even pushed out naked.

It is obvious that these people are not bandits at all, but civilians who were captured and brought to the mountains and were used as cannon fodder by the bandits in the mountain village!

The people following Li Yun were all yamen runners. After all, they were government officials. When they saw this scene, they almost froze in place and did not move.

At this moment, among these "cannon fodders", several men dressed in civilian clothes suddenly stood up and slashed at the nearest yamen runners with their weapons!

These yamen runners were caught off guard and were hit immediately. Two of them were hit on the arms, and another was hit on the back!
The screams reached Li Yun's ears.

Li Zheng was not far from Li Yun and cursed: "These beasts!"

Chen Da also hurriedly approached Li Yun and asked loudly: "Boss, what should we do!"

Because the terrain was relatively open, Li Yun had already put on his spear. He looked around the battlefield with the spear in his hand and said loudly, "If you are not a bandit, drop your weapon immediately and lie on the ground!"

"I'll give you three breaths of time!"

Li Dutou entered the battle with his gun in hand and shot dead a bandit hiding among the people. He said with awe-inspiring power: "If you don't get down, you will be punished like the bandits!"

After he shouted, most people fell to the ground trembling with fear.

Li Yun raised his gun and looked towards the Ten Kings Village in front of him. He said in a low voice: "Brothers, there are almost no people guarding this gate. Charge in with me!"

Indeed, at this time, there were less than ten people guarding the gate of Shiwangzhai.

Li Yun shouted and immediately led his men to rush towards the gate of Shiwangzhai!

The Shiwang Village is different from the Cangshan Village. They have a relatively low stone wall.

The presence of a stone wall means that the door will not be too fragile and cannot be easily broken open.

But even so, this kind of gate is still far less strong than the city gate.

Li Yun took the lead, and more than a dozen yamen runners worked together and immediately broke the bolt of the door inside.

Li Yun picked up his gun and charged into the Ten Kings Camp!
The dozen or so people guarding the gate retreated in a hurry.

Captain Li Dadu walked in the Ten Kings Camp, looked around, and doubts suddenly arose in his heart.

The number of people in the Ten Kings Village shouldn't be so small. They...

Where did they all go?!
