Chapter 96

The main force from the south was attacking from the front, forcing the bandits to flee to the back, so another team was arranged to ambush the bandits in the north to destroy the bandits who fled from the north.

After the main tactics are determined, other details will be discussed and decided by the small commanders of each unit.

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

During the period of preparation for the war, Shen Qianwei assisted his father in doing a lot of things and made suggestions. It seemed that he devoted himself wholeheartedly to preparing for the war and suppressing the bandits, but in fact, he kept his eyes open.

Ask Zheng Han to make eyeliner for him, and keep secretly watching King Yu's movements.

The fight against bandits is a big one, so the outside world will know about it, but they don't know when the fight will start. This is a military secret, so naturally it can't be leaked casually.

But just the day before the bandit suppression set off, Zheng Han discovered something strange in Prince Yu's mansion.

A man in a linen blouse, who looked like a rough servant, left the palace through the corner gate in the middle of the night.

He moved quickly and looked very cautious. Zheng Han knew at a glance that he was a martial artist, so he took his heart.

Follow it up and see what he wants to do.

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

After searching around to no avail, he had to quietly return to the station and told Shen Qianwei what he found.

"That person must be tricky, but I lost track of him, and I don't know where he went." Zheng Han was very annoyed.

Shen Qianwei sat at the table in unlined clothes, frowning.

"King Yu is really restless. On the eve of the war, he sent people out of the mansion. Could it be for the purpose of giving information?"

"Boss means that King Yu colluded with the bandits in Fuhuzhai?" Zheng Han's eyes turned cold, and then he was a little puzzled, "It is also good for him to get rid of the bandits in Fuhuzhai. I want to stop it."

Shen Qianwei raised her chin, her eyes sharp.

"The king of Yu is willing to suppress the bandits, but he also hopes that the credit for the suppression of the bandits is his own. This will not only increase his reputation among the people in Yuzhou with the help of the court, but also he has established this It's a great achievement, and if the emperor wants to touch him again in the future, he will have another layer of worries."

To put it bluntly, in Shen Qianwei's analysis, King Yu wanted the officials from the court to do the hard work for him.

"Then how do we deal with it? He won't leak our tactics to bandits!" Zheng Han was slightly annoyed.

What soldiers hate most are traitors and deserters.

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

After saying this, Shen Qianwei immediately got up, picked up the coat on the shelf, and said while putting it on.

"You have worked hard, take a good rest, I will go find my father."

"So late?" Zheng Han was surprised.

Shen Qianwei has already walked towards the door, "The military situation is urgent."

Zheng Han looked at his back as he went out, and couldn't help complaining from the bottom of his heart, if the boss had put so much effort into chasing girls, the Fourth Miss of the Su family would have been taken down long ago.

As for Shen Qianwei, she didn't come back until dawn.

They called Zheng Han up again and had a secret conversation for half an hour. When it was almost time, the two got up and went to the post hall to have breakfast.

Fuhuzhai is difficult to attack, so choose to fight during the day, and attack at night, the difficulty will increase.

So after everyone finished their breakfast, they immediately went to the barracks to meet up.

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 Prince Yu's Mansion, so Shen Qianwei quietly went over to talk to him at this time.

"You have been living in Prince Yu's Mansion for the past few days, have you found anything wrong?"

The seventh prince's eyes darkened, "Prince Yu is cautious, I didn't find anything unusual."

"No one went out to report or something." Shen Qianwei asked.

Hearing what he said, the Seventh Prince frowned.

"Why did you say that, what clues did you find?"

"I"

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

This sound interrupted the conversation between the two, and Shen Qianwei had no choice but to leave the Seventh Prince and rush over.

At this time, King Yu cast a probing gaze in the direction of the Seventh Prince, but the Seventh Prince didn't seem to feel it, he just straightened his cuffs, his face was indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion.

So King Yu withdrew his gaze again, and looked at the father and son of the Shen family who were counting troops again.

After half an hour, the soldiers and horses were counted, and they set off towards Fuhuzhai in two ways.

According to the plan, Shen He and Shen Qianwei led troops to attack from the front from the south, and King Yu led people to the north to encircle them by water.

The rest of the officials are civil servants, so they will not go to the front line. The Seventh Prince and Su Yi will sit in the rear and arrange dispatches.

The people in Fuhuzhai also knew that the imperial court would send troops to suppress the bandits, so they 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.

"Defense!"

With an order, all the soldiers immediately raised the round shields in their hands and joined together to block the arrows shot down from the mountain.

"Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought, these bastards!" Shen He taunted while cutting off the flying arrows with a knife.

Shen He has fought a lot, and has basically participated in battles on any terrain, so he expected that these bandits would shoot arrows from top to bottom early in the morning, so he was well prepared.

After the rain of arrows fell, figures appeared on the mountain and quickly retreated to the top of the mountain.

This means that there is only one rain of arrows.

Shen He snorted coldly, reined in his horse and raised his knife, and a rough and sonorous voice sounded.

"All the officers and men obey the order, take down this mountain for me, and take down this nest of bandits!"

"kill!"

"Come on!"

The soldiers experienced a wave of arrow rain just now, and their morale has risen now. Under the emotional mobilization, all of them are full of fighting spirit.

Shen He and Shen Qianwei met each other, and both father and son were determined to win.

"Be careful, don't lose arms or legs, go back and your mother will fight desperately with me!

"You still have to be careful about your old waist, wait until I chop off the bandit leader's head and give it to you!"

Shen Qianwei pinched the horse's belly and drew his sharp knife out of its sheath. The cold light reflected the young man's wanton and wild smile, full of heroic spirit.

The laughter of the two fathers rushed into the forest along with the noisy attack.

As expected, apart from the initial rain of arrows, the bandits rolled down boulders and thick logs.

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

This group of bandits is certainly powerful, but firstly, their individual combat strength and quality are uneven, not as good as the regular army, and they are all trained. Second, Shen He has broken their tactics one after another, and they are a little panicked, so they are constantly forced to retreat to the top of the mountain. .

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

It is not unusual to be able to attack here. After all, the bandits were able to attack here before, but this section of the cliff is impossible to attack.

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

Because in the hearts of bandits, the people below will never be able to overcome this hurdle.

Although Shen He had heard about this section of the cliff on the sand table and maps, as well as from the mouth of the local garrison, he actually saw it and found it to be more difficult than he imagined.

But no matter how difficult it was, it had to be won, so Shen He immediately followed the previous deployment and ordered the people from the artillery battalion to come forward and throw thunderbolts on the cliff first.

 I fell into a stiff neck and felt like a tree with a crooked neck. It hurts.
