In the south, the main force attacked from the front, forcing the mountain bandits to flee to the back, so a team of men and horses was arranged to ambush in the north to exterminate the mountain bandits who had fled from the north.

After this main tactic is decided, the other details will be discussed and decided by the commanders of each detachment.

The time of the attack was set for the ninth day of August, six days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the period of preparing for the war, Shen Qianwei assisted his father in doing a lot of things, giving advice, and it seemed that he was wholeheartedly devoted to preparing for the war and suppressing bandits, but in fact, he also kept an eye on it.

asked Zheng Han to do eyeliner for him, and kept secretly staring at King Yu's movements.

The matter of suppressing bandits is very large, so the outside will not know about it, but it is not clear what day it will start, this is a military secret, so naturally it cannot be leaked casually.

But the day before the bandits set off, Zheng Han noticed a change in King Yu's mansion.

A man wearing a linen shirt and looking like a rough servant left the palace from the corner gate in the middle of the night.

He acted quickly and was very cautious, and Zheng Han knew at a glance that he was a martial artist, so he was interested.

Follow and see what he wants to do.

But the man was even more thoughtful, and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain, Zheng Han was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to follow too close, so he was thrown off.

After looking around to no avail, he had to quickly and quietly return to the post station and tell Shen Qianwei what he found.

"That man must be a cat, but I lost it, and I don't know where he went." Zheng Han was very annoyed.

Shen Qianwei sat at the table in a single dress, frowning.

"King Yu is really restless, on the eve of the war, he sent people out of the house, is it to ventilate the news?"

"What does the leader mean is that King Yu colluded with the mountain bandits in Fuhu Village?" Zheng Han's eyes were cold, and then he was a little puzzled, "But in addition to the bandits in Fuhu Village, it is also good for him, why does he want to stop it." ”

Shen Qianwei raised his chin, his gaze sharp.

"King Yu is willing to suppress bandits, but he also hopes that the credit for suppressing bandits is all his own, so that he can not only borrow the hand of the court, increase his prestige in the hearts of the people of Yuzhou, but also make this great contribution to suppressing bandits, and the emperor will want to move him again in the future, and he will have another layer of concern."

To put it bluntly, in Shen Qianwei's analysis, King Yu wanted this group of officials from the court to do the coolies for him.

"Then how are we going to deal with it, he won't leak our tactics or anything to the mountain bandits!" Zheng Han was slightly angry.

The most disgusting thing for soldiers is traitors and deserters.

Shen Qianwei narrowed his eyes, "It's not impossible, after all, King Yu wants to take credit for himself." ”

After saying this, Shen Qianwei immediately got up, picked up the coat on the shelf, and said as he wore it.

"You've worked hard, take a good rest, I'll go find my father."

"So late?" Zheng Han was unexpected.

Shen Qianwei had already walked to the door, "The military situation is urgent. ”

Zheng Han looked at his back when he went out, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, if the leader had already had this intention in chasing the girl, I am afraid that the fourth lady of the Su family would have been taken down.

And Shen Qianwei didn't come back until dawn.

I called Zheng Han up again and talked secretly for half an hour, and it was almost time before the two got up and went to the post hall for breakfast.

Fuhu Village is difficult to attack, so choose to start the battle during the day and attack at night, the difficulty will increase.

So when everyone had finished breakfast, they immediately went to the barracks to meet together.

King Yu and the Seventh Prince were already waiting in the barracks.

The officials lived in the post station, and the Seventh Prince lived in the Yu Palace, so at this time, Shen Qianwei quietly went over to talk to him.

"You have been living in the Yuwang Mansion for the past few days, have you found anything wrong?"

The Seventh Prince's eyes darkened, "King Yu is cautious, I didn't find anything abnormal. ”

"Nobody went out to ventilate or something." Shen Qianwei asked.

Hearing him say this, the Seventh Prince frowned.

"Why do you say this, what clues did you find?"

"I..."

"Qianwei, come here, this team of people will give you, come and count some points." Shen He shouted not far away.

This voice interrupted the conversation between the two, and Shen Qianwei had to leave the Seventh Prince and hurry over.

At this time, King Yu cast an inquiring glance in the direction where the Seven Princes were, but the Seventh Prince didn't seem to feel it, and only straightened his cuffs, his face was indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Therefore, King Yu retracted his gaze and looked at the Shen family father and son who were ordering troops again.

Half an hour later, the soldiers and horses were counted, and the soldiers set off towards Fuhu Village in two ways.

In the plan, Shen He and Shen Qianwei, father and son, led troops to attack head-on from the south, and King Yu led people to the north to encircle them by water.

The rest of the officials are all civilian officials, so they will not go to the front line, led by the Seven Princes and Su Yi, who will sit in the rear and arrange scheduling.

The people of Fuhu Village also knew that the imperial court was going to send troops to suppress the bandits, so they also responded early in the morning.

As soon as the soldiers and horses led by Shen He approached, a fine rain of arrows shot down from the mountain.

"Defend!"

At the sound of an order, all the soldiers immediately raised the round shields in their hands and connected them together to resist the arrows shot down from the mountain.

"Sure enough, it's the same as Lao Tzu thought, this group of dog offal!" Shen He scolded as he swung his knife to cut off the flying arrows.

Shen He has fought a lot of battles, and he has basically participated in battles on any terrain, so he expected that this group of mountain bandits would shoot arrows from top to bottom early in the morning, so he was prepared for a long time.

And after this rain of arrows fell, there were figures on the mountain who quickly retreated to the top of the mountain.

This shows that there is only one rain of arrows.

Shen He snorted coldly, reined in his sword, and a rough and loud voice sounded.

"The generals listened to the order, took this mountain for Lao Tzu, and took this nest of bandits!"

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

The soldiers experienced a wave of arrows, and their morale had risen at this time, and under the emotional mobilization, they were all full of fighting spirit.

Shen He and Shen Qianwei knew each other at a glance, and both father and son were determined to achieve it in their eyes.

"Be careful, don't lack arms and legs, go back and work hard with your mother!

"You better be careful not to flash your old waist, wait until I cut off the head of the mountain bandit leader and give it to you!"

Shen Qianwei clamped the horse's belly, the sharp blade came out of the sheath, and the cold light reflected the young man's wanton and arrogant smile, full of heroism.

The laughter of the two men was accompanied by a noisy attack, and they rushed into the mountains and forests.

As expected, the bandits were followed by a rain of arrows and a steady stream of boulders and stout logs.

Shen He immediately ordered to change the formation, disperse the attack, and converge on the top of the mountain from all directions.

This group of mountain bandits is certainly powerful, but firstly, the quality of their personal combat strength is uneven, and they are not as trained as the regular army, and secondly, they were broken by Shen He's tactics one after another, and they were also a little panicked, so they were constantly forced to retreat to the top of the mountain.

Soon, Shen He led the army all the way to the cliff.

It's not unusual to be able to attack here, after all, bandits can also fight here before, but this section of the cliff can't be attacked.

This is also the defense that the mountain bandits in Fuhu Village are most proud of, so even if the people below come up, they can go straight to the lair, but they don't panic.

Because in the hearts of the mountain bandits, this hurdle will never be attacked by the people below.

Although Shen He had heard of this section of the cliff on the sand table and map, as well as from the mouth of the local garrison, he had really seen it and found it trickier than he had imagined.

But no matter how tricky it is, it has to be taken, so Shen He immediately followed the previous deployment and ordered the people of the artillery battalion to come forward and throw thunderbolts at the cliff first.
