A quarter of an hour later, Guan Yu came on horseback with several guards. There was only one official road from Anyi to Puzhou County, so Guan Yu wandered around the border of Puzhou County for a while and found the location of Liu Fan's garrison.

After Guan Yu rode over, Cao Xiao did not stop him, he knew that Guan Yu was a warrior under Liu Fan, some time ago they sent troops to arrest Guan Yu several times and were beaten by Guan Yu, Guan Yu's bravery spread among the soldiers of Hedong County.

After Liu Fan heard the sound of horses' hooves, he immediately walked out of the tent, and he knew that Guan Yu must be coming.

"Can Senior Brother Yun find out the situation?" Guan Yu quickly dismounted after seeing Liu Fan, and before he had time to greet Liu Fan, Liu Fan took the lead and asked.

"The robbers' cottage is not on the main peak of Shouyang Mountain, but on a hill dozens of miles away from the main peak. After Yu arrived here yesterday afternoon, he immediately inquired about the address of the robbers in Shouyang Mountain, and after inquiring overnight, Yu found that the robbers in Shouyang Mountain were loose and undisciplined at night. If you lead an army to raid tonight, you will definitely succeed. Guan Yu put the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on the ground and said confidently.

In addition to the main peak of Shouyang Mountain, the altitude can reach more than 2,000 meters, and many other peaks are only a few hundred meters highest. In this era, most people would not go up to the peaks of more than 2,000 meters.

"Night Raid." Liu Fan analyzed it carefully, and then asked Guan Yu, "How far is the robber's cottage from here?" Can road conditions be ascertained? ”

It's already October, and in the north, it's already very cold at this time, and a group of robbers without a system must be very lax in braving the cold of the night. The most important thing is that Guan Yu said that the robbers' cottage is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the night attack is exposed, he and Guan Yu's force can quickly open the way and lead the army to break through the gate.

"I have found out the road in a day's time, and I will take the lord and the soldiers to the bottom of the mountain where the robbers are in about three hours." Guan Yu replied.

"Cao Xiao, order the soldiers to rest for three hours after eating, set off at night to attack the robbers' camp, and I promise to give half of the property seized after capturing the robbers' cottage to the soldiers." Liu Fan ordered Cao Xiao, the subordinate governor beside him.

Liu Fan knew that the thousand soldiers, including Cao Xiao, were all borrowed from Wang Yi by him, not his subordinates; The soldiers had been marching for a day, and they would be dissatisfied if they were allowed to march at night and risk their lives. Therefore, Liu Fan let the soldiers rest for three hours to recuperate their spirits, and rewarded them with the robbers' belongings.

The robbers of Shouyang Mountain have been in this generation for more than ten years, their leader is nicknamed Shouyang Tiger, and he is famous in this area, and the food they have looted over the years must have been almost eaten, but those gold and silver treasures are useless, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be countless treasures in the robbers' cottage.

"The last general commands!" Cao Xiao replied happily.

Originally, Cao Xiao was a little uncomfortable when he heard Guan Yu propose a night attack, but after Liu Fan's order, the resentment in his heart instantly turned into fighting spirit. followed Wang Yi out to suppress the bandits, and he was busy for a few days, but there was no reward, and Wang Yi was indecisive about leading troops to fight, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit for a long time.

Husband fights, courage also, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Originally, the soldiers came to suppress the bandits with great interest, but they repeatedly delayed the fighters, and in the end they only attacked a few times, and the soldiers' momentum had already been discharged, and where could they still win the battle.

The time is between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. and the sub-hour is equivalent to 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Just after the hour, Liu Fan gathered all the soldiers, except for a hundred soldiers who were left to guard the horses and baggage, the others all followed Guan Yu to the Shouyang Mountain robber cottage.

In the middle of the sub-period, Liu Fan and the others came to the foot of the mountain where the robbers' cottage was located.

"Cao Xiao, you select ten brave men with strong martial arts from the army, and wait for Huiwu and Guan Yu to take the lead in leading ten warriors to seize the gate of the village, after we go up the mountain for a quarter of an hour, you immediately lead the remaining more than 900 people to rush up the mountain, and after entering the robbers' cottage, you light the torches, and shout 'Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have surrounded Shouyang Mountain' to make them surrender quickly. Tonight, we're going to spend the night at the robbers' cottage. Liu Fan whispered to Cao Xiao beside him.

Thousands of soldiers hula up the mountain, the movement must be very large. As long as the robbers' sentry is not blind or deaf, they can be detected. Because it takes a quarter of an hour to reach the robbers' camp at the fastest time from the bottom of the mountain, this time period is enough for the robbers of Shouyang Mountain to support the arrival. The mountain road was steep, and only a small number of men quickly occupied the main road, and then, with the 900 soldiers behind them, they crushed the enemy in one fell swoop.

Liu Fan's sentence that we are going to spend the night in the robbers' cottage tonight is very inspiring. Even if it was cold in the middle of the night, it couldn't stop the fire in the hearts of the soldiers.

At night, lonely as water.

Liu Fan was carrying the Overlord Halberd, Guan Yu was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and behind him were ten fierce warriors with spears in their hands, and twelve of them quickly swept towards the top of the mountain.

Liu Fan felt that he had overestimated this group of robbers, and they almost rushed to the top of the mountain in one go, without even seeing a single person blocking them. There are a few places that are really dangerous to go up the mountain, as long as they are fortified in these places, it will be difficult to attack them without a fierce general like Guan Yu. Perhaps it was because Wang Yi led 3,000 men and horses some time ago that they were not captured, and the robbers' confidence swelled.

Finally, Liu Fan and the twelve came to the top of the mountain. At this time, there were four robbers sitting on the ground around a fire in front of the robbers' village, and when Liu Fan and others saw them, they also saw Liu Fan and others.

"What people!" The four robbers immediately stood up and shouted at Liu Fan and the others.

As soon as the four of them finished speaking, Guan Yu rushed out from Liu Fan's side, and instantly came to the four robbers, with knives in their hands, one person and one knife, like chopping melons and vegetables. The four of them didn't even have time to take the weapons around them, so they died under Guan Yu's knife.

This was the first time that the Qinglong Glaive Knife had drunk blood, and the clear moonlight shone on the bloody blade, making it even more cold.

Liu Fan frowned slightly, how could a large village of nearly two thousand people have only four people guarding the gate of the village.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......"

The sound of a bell was so crisp and loud in the silence of the night.

Sure enough, there was still someone on the lookout of the camp, he was sleeping just now, and after being woken up by the sound below, he quickly rang the bell.

In an instant, the door of the village was opened, and more than 20 people rushed out with swords in hand, it was cold outside, they were resting in the door, and when they heard the bell, they immediately opened the door and rushed over.

"Kill them and seize the gate."

Liu Fan gave an order and rushed over with the overlord halberd in his hand. Liu Fan's Overlord Halberd is a lot higher than Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife in both weight and length, and Liu Fan is infinitely powerful, and the robbers will die when they touch it, and they will be injured when they rub it. In an instant, seven or eight people became the souls of Liu Fan's halberd, and then Guan Yu's side solved seven or eight, and the remaining robbers were solved by ten warriors one by one.

When Liu Fan and Guan Yu led ten warriors into the walled gate, robbers arrived one after another, but when they saw Liu Fan and Guan Yu's twelve people standing in front of the walled gate, they were afraid and did not dare to step forward.
