However, the bandits in Black Bear Ridge are different, they have already controlled the surrounding areas of Yancheng, they are arrogant and arrogant, and they don't take the officials and soldiers into account at all, so they naturally won't be afraid of someone ambushing.

In order to prevent the news of his troop coming leaked, Liu Qi did not even contact the Yancheng garrison, and came here directly.

The reason is simple.

Under this grim situation, Yancheng must have been infiltrated into a sieve.

It is impossible to say that he led the troops into the city with the front foot, and the bandit leader with the back foot led the people to hide in the mountains. This is their territory, and if the cats go into the old mountains, there is really nothing they can do with them.

In the woods, Liu Qi and Huo Qubing sat quietly on the ground, the war horses were all on the horses, and fifty Yuan crossbowmen were ambushed in the woods on the left and right sides, and more than five hundred soldiers did not make a sound.

The foot soldiers disguised as caravans had already set off, and for the sake of truth, Liu Qi also bought a full ten carts of grain on the way here, not afraid that the bandits would not be moved.

There was no news from the White Army scouts yet, and everyone was very relaxed.

Huo Quzhi wiped his beloved tassel gun, and glanced at the official road from time to time, and after a long time, he couldn't help it.

"Why is the lord so troublesome, wouldn't it be inconvenient to let the last general directly lead the troops to Black Bear Ridge and destroy them?"

It's not that Huo Qu is sick, but out of absolute self-confidence.

Not to mention that there are now 500 fully armored soldiers, even with only 20 Yulin cavalry, Huo Qubing dares to take them and the bandits head-on.

Not for anything else, just because he is Huo Quai!

With eight hundred knights, he dared to go deep into the grassland to attack Huo Quai, who was a Hun of the Huns!

Of course, Liu Qi will not doubt the ability of the champion Hou, but he also has his considerations.

"It's not just about winning this fight, it's about winning beautifully, winning sensations. If you let you lead the troops to drill the mountain, no one knows, and you can just get a battle report. Wouldn't it be nice to have a serious confrontation on this official road, so that passers-by and garrisons can see with their own eyes how you have made meritorious achievements? ”

Liu Qi glanced at Huo Quai: "Didn't I tell you a hundred times on the road, why, I still can't figure it out?" ”

"How can it, the subordinates are not stupid, they already know the bastard things that the second son and the surnamed Cai did." Huo Quzhi smiled: "Isn't this just a joke, what if you change your mind?" ”

Although Huo Quzhi is a genius, he is still young in the end, and his personality is very lively. Sometimes it's a little too big and not too small.

"Snort, you're poor!"

Liu Qi leaned against the trunk of the tree, very relaxed.

This is a manifestation of Huo Quai's closeness to him, and the monarch and the minister get along, which is what it means.

The generals and troops recruited by the system will only recognize him as the main person, which can be seen from the title.

Even the housekeepers in the house call him "eldest prince", and these people are all called "lords".

Staying with these own people, Liu Qi can feel truly relaxed.

"Wait, it's almost there."

"Report ——!"

As soon as the words fell, a horse riding excitedly on the white army came, kneeling on the ground and clenching his fists: "Lord, the enemy has taken the bait, and it is less than six miles away!" ”

"Good!" Liu Qi's eyes lit up: "How many people are here, and the bandit leader is not there?" ”

"Half of it's coming!" The scout's voice trembled, not because of fear, but because of excitement, "The little brother has investigated, and the whole village is almost empty, and they are all thinking about your ten carts of grain!" ”

"Haha, that's great!" Liu Qi stood up, his blazing eyes looked directly at Huo Quzhi, "I will leave it to you from now on, and my son will never interfere." ”

"Just one point, the brothers are all the treasures of this son, and they are all careful of their lives. As for the bandit leader, it is best to capture him alive, but if it doesn't work, destroy him! ”

Huo Quzhi solemnly clenched his fists: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Liu Qi nodded, stood with a few guards holding swords, and watched Huo Qubing go to arrange the battle, and sure enough, he didn't make a sound.

He knows very well how many pounds and taels he has, he was just an ordinary college student in his previous life, and even the military training in his freshman year was pretending to be sick and escaped, and even Liu Qi himself had not read the art of war for a few days.

Instead of commanding with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, it is better to let go and leave it to Huo Quai.

Anyway, Huo Quzhi's loyalty is undoubted, and he doesn't have to worry about the consequences of being a master at all.

Liu Qi is very forced in his heart, and before the force value is further strengthened, it is better not to increase the work of the guards and subordinates.

As the lord, I don't need to be hands-on.

Six miles away, on the official road.

Thousands of bandits are surrounding their leader, galloping forward.

These bandits are different from ordinary robbers, not only are they neatly dressed and holding swords, many of them are small heads, and they even wear leather armor snatched from the hands of officials and soldiers, and carry war horses!

Not only that, but they even put up their own banners like the officers and soldiers.

On the flag, there was a big embroidered "Zhang" character.

There is no doubt that the leader of this gang of bandits must be a person surnamed Zhang.

This person's name is Zhang Hu, and he is the big boss of the Black Bear Ridge bandits, with thousands of outlaws under him, and he dares to do anything.

hit the county several times, and it was he who personally led the lead.

Now, when he knew that there was a caravan dragging a whole ten truckloads of grain passing by, Zhang Hu didn't even think about it, and went straight to the caravan!

That's ten carts of food!

Now when the war is in chaos, even a ferocious bandit like them cannot be without a shortage of food.

Especially now, they have robbed all around Yancheng, and now caravans and pedestrians know that they are bypassing Yancheng, and the food in the village is getting tighter and tighter day by day.

Seeing the back of the caravan from a distance, the other party also spotted them, and dozens of guards, who might have been hired, scattered in a hurry and fled to the woods on both sides.

Zhang Hu laughed and waved his big knife: "Children, grab food!" “

"Roar!"

The bandits let out a strange laugh, brandished their blades and swarmed up, and they still maintained their formation, and there was no chaos.

In the woods, Huo Quzhi, who was always paying attention to the enemy's movements, raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the leader really has some ability, sons, capture him alive and tie him up to listen to the main shelf!" ”

Huo Quzhi thought about it, raised his hand and slashed it hard.

Several tripwires pulled up.

Bang!

"Sigh the ——! of the law"

The little leader who was riding his horse at the front suddenly fell, and the bandits, who had been holding the formation just now, suddenly became chaotic.

"Enemy attack!"

"Damn, there's an ambush!"

"Brothers, kill!"

Sure enough, it was a bandit, and the first reaction after the attack was not panic, but a rage and wanted revenge.

Huo Quzhi chuckled, turned over on his horse, spear in hand, and galloped wildly: "Sons, follow me into battle!" ”

"Martial ——!"

The 20 Yulin cavalry turned into sharp blades and rushed towards the bandits like a mountain of mountains.

Their task is to break up the rabble. The foot soldiers have lined up in front and rear, blocking the retreat of the bandits, step by step, and stepping forward to harvest.

And in the woods on both sides, arrows are also raining down!

There is no need for the art of war, no trickery, and the empty plain is the best martial arts arena.

Looking at the back of Huo Quai's head rushing towards the bandit leader like chopping melons and vegetables, Liu Qi smiled slightly: "Liu Cong, after this battle, see what you want to take to face me!" ”
