Seeing that Liu Chengdu had made arrangements, Han Hao immediately clasped his fists and agreed: "I will obey the general's orders in everything."
Liu Cheng thought of Fang Yue and asked, "How about Captain Fang Yue?"
Han Hao cupped his fists and said: "Fang Yue is from the Fang family, a wealthy family in Hanoi.
There has been no governor in Hanoi for the past six months.
This guy took this opportunity to remove all the generals who opposed him from the county soldiers and replaced them with his confidants.
Now he has completely Taking control of the county soldiers is a big trouble.
Moreover, this person has colluded with Yang Jun and others to control the military affairs of Hanoi County and does not allow outsiders to interfere."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "I think with Yuan Si's talent, it should be easy to deal with a mere Fang Yue.
If he is disobedient, just find a way to get rid of him."
Han Hao thought for a while and said: "There are several officials and generals among the county soldiers who were originally neutral.
Now Fang Yue is in full control of the county soldiers.
Those people obey him on the surface, but in fact they are not of the same mind as him.
I can find a way to deal with the humble position."
They win over."
"You can handle this matter yourself.
If there is something that cannot be solved, you can send a message to the general, and the general will solve it for you."
"Thank you General" At this time, Wang Shuang hurriedly walked in and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the sentry found that a bandit army of about 10,000 people came out of Linli County and was heading towards our camp.
However, their marching speed was not fast, and they were not marching very fast." cover" Liu Cheng suddenly stood up, then frowned and asked: "You said you didn't cover your whereabouts because you took the main road?"
Wang Shuang nodded and said: "Yes, they are holding torches, and many of them are carrying tools.
There are a large number of carriages at the back of their team pulling a large amount of wood and tents.
It looks like they are building a camp."
Han Hao looked at Liu Cheng and asked: "General, are the bandits coming to camp here late at night so as to form a horn with the city?"
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then picked up the oil lamp and walked to the map to look at it.
He turned around and said with a smile: "Our place is the only place suitable for setting up a camp within a radius of twenty miles.
I didn't expect that the bandits would also take a fancy to this place.
Haha."
Ha ha" Wang Shuang asked: "General, should you send troops to meet the bandits or ambush them?"
Liu Cheng thought for a while and was about to give the order when he saw Han Hao standing beside him, so he decided to test Han Hao's military ability and asked: "Yuan Si, what do you think we should do?"
Han Hao cupped his fists and said: "General, there is a forest on both sides of the road five miles ahead.
Our army can ambush in the forest.
The trees are not dense.
It is winter now and the leaves have almost fallen off, but it is enough for an ambush at night."
Hidden, as long as no one is sent into the woods to search, they should not be discovered.”
Liu Cheng turned to look at Wang Shuang, "Have you heard that?
Gather the troops immediately.
There is no need to have too many troops.
Five thousand people are enough.
Tell the soldiers not to make any noise or light lamps or torches."
"promise" In just one cup of tea, five thousand elite soldiers were assembled in the camp.
Liu Cheng rode on his horse and said to Wang Shuang and Zhang Liao: "Let all the troops set off in order.
Don't walk in unison.
Walking in unison will cause a strong resonance on the ground.
If the bandit army If there are masters of spying among them, they will be able to detect it easily.
Just let the soldiers march freely at a fast pace."
"Follow your orders" Liu Cheng then ordered Chen Dao and Yang Ru: "The rest of the soldiers were waiting in the camp.

When they heard the sounds of fighting coming from the front, Yang Ru led the firing squad to stay in the camp, while Chen Dao led the cavalry squad and others.
The cavalry immediately went to reinforce it.”
Chen Dao and Yang Ru both clasped their fists and agreed: "I obey."
The five thousand soldiers and horses set off quietly, quickly and quietly.
There were only the sounds of walking footsteps and the friction of weapons and armor along the way.
In order to achieve the concealment effect, Liu Cheng did not even bring cavalry.
These five thousand soldiers and horses were all infantry.
They arrived in the woods at just the right time.
After Liu Cheng had laid out the ambush, just after a cup of tea, the sound of roaring and neighing came from the direction of the county town.
The bandit leaders kept yelling at their subordinates, and the bandit army The soldiers also cursed and complained, and the entire bandit army was chaotic and extremely noisy.
All the soldiers of the Northern Army who had already received the order kept their mouths shut and did not let themselves make a sound.
Anyone in the team who was infected with the cold had been left in the camp and was not allowed to participate in this ambush operation.
The bandit army was getting closer and closer to the ambush, and a long fire dragon snaked for several miles.
The soldiers of the Northern Army who were ambushing in the woods on both sides of the road were squatting on the ground.
Liu Cheng was riding on the red rabbit horse and looked at the bandit army that was getting closer and closer.
The red rabbit horse was also muzzled.
The soldiers of the Northern Army have been fighting head-on for a long time.
This is the first time that the soldiers of the Northern Army have engaged in an ambush battle.
The soldiers all feel very novel, very excited, and very nervous.
The bandits were unaware of the danger.
Even Xu Huang did not expect that the imperial court had arrived twenty miles outside the city and set up camp early in the morning.
He even did not expect that the imperial court's sentinel discovered them just as they left the city.
They passed the news back in time.
At this time, he was at the back of the team supervising the carriage team loading wood.
The bandits ran into the ambush of the Northern Army soldiers without realizing it.
The Northern Army soldiers waited quietly in nervousness and excitement until the front and middle parts of the bandit army passed through the woods.
Xu Huang, who was at the back of the entire team, finally felt uneasy when he saw the towering trees on both sides of the road.
The hair on his body stood up, and he involuntarily tightened the reins of his horse.
Suddenly, a loud sound came from the woods.
Roar: "Fire arrows" "Whoosh whoosh!"
An overwhelming amount of arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides.
Xu Huang felt that the souls of the dead were coming out.
He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He immediately waved the ax in his hand, and the arrows that were shot at him were kept flying by him, while the civilian husbands and bandit soldiers around him were shot.
They fell to the ground one by one.
Some people died quietly.
Some people fell to the ground and howled miserably after being shot.
Most of the people who were not hit by arrows screamed in fear and ran around.
Many people dropped their baggage and turned around.
He fled back toward the county seat.
After a series of chops, Xu Huang noticed that the arrows were sparse.
He immediately took advantage of this gap to observe the surrounding situation and found that most of the people in the rear of the army began to flee to the rear, and another bandit in this bandit army began to flee.
At this time, the army leader Yi Ping was galloping away from him on his war horse and fled towards the county seat.
"Kill!"
The arrows were gone, but countless soldiers and horses rushed out from the woods.

Xu Huang could no longer care about the others.
He immediately turned around and galloped towards the county seat.
At this time, a court general came straight towards him holding a halberd.
He sensed the crisis and instinctively swung his ax to the side.
He slashed at it, only to hear a "dang" sound, and the weapon stabbed from the darkness was chopped down by him.
One of them was right, but the weapon swept over again.
He immediately raised his ax to block.
The sound of weapons clashing sounded again.
The two of them exchanged three moves in an instant between the sparks of carbide.
Xu Huang successfully escaped from the opponent.
However, his arm was also numb from the shock and he almost couldn't grasp the ax handle.
Zhang Liao's hand holding the halberd was trembling at this time.
He was riding a horse and looked at the back of the bandit leader who had gone away.
He snorted angrily: "Huh, let him run away, but he can run away."
The monks can’t escape from the temple, brothers, shout to me, surrender and don’t kill me.”
The surrounding Northern Army soldiers shouted to surrender without killing.
The bandit soldiers, who were scared to death, found that they could not run away, so they immediately dropped their weapons and squatted on the roadside.
Except for more than a thousand bandit troops who were left behind and fled back to Linli County, the remaining thousands of bandit troops were all blocked on the road between the woods and the Beijun camp.
They were suddenly attacked, and they never thought about or had the courage to organize a counterattack.
Li, who led the troops, Dongya did not have this ability.
When they found out that they were ambushed, everyone was frightened and just wanted to escape for their lives.
They found that the enemy came out from behind and attacked the people in the rear.
The bandits in the middle and front fled to the front one after another.
Go, but what awaits them is the rumble of horse hooves.
"It's the cavalry, it's the cavalry."
The bandits were horrified.
They abandoned their torches and ran towards the farmland on both sides of the road.
However, many people fell down in the dark night.
Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers of the Northern Army They began to hunt down the bandits in units of Shi.
Not long after, within a radius of ten miles, there were fleeing bandits and pursuing Northern Army soldiers everywhere.
The torches thrown away by the bandits were picked up by the Northern Army soldiers who were chasing them.
Everywhere they looked could be seen Scattered torches could be seen swaying and shining here and there.
Liu Cheng didn't do much, but his armor was stained with blood everywhere.
He put away his army, reined in his horse and shouted: "Wang Shuang and Zhang Liao, organize the people to bring the loot and prisoners back to the camp, leaving some people behind."
Clean the battlefield, collect the bodies and bury them.”
"No," the two agreed, and immediately organized manpower to clean the battlefield.
In the lobby of Linlu County Government, Yang Feng looked at Yi Ping and Xu Huang with a sullen face, "Ten thousand people are going out, it's better for you, but you can only bring back less than a thousand people.
Where is Li Dong?"
Xu Huang looked gloomy, clasped his fists and said: "I didn't expect that the imperial army got under our noses.
We didn't even notice it, and actually ran into their ambush.
If we can know the location of the imperial army in time, There’s no way we’d lose so miserably.”
The bandit leader Yi Ping immediately pointed at Xu Huang and shouted: "Xu Gongming, you have ulterior motives.
You persuaded the leader to send troops to camp outside the city, causing us to lose 10,000 horses.
I'm afraid you have already colluded with the court."
Xu Huang turned to look at Yi Ping and said coldly: "If I, Mr.

Xu, had contact with the imperial court, you would have died long ago and would not be standing here with your life.
When you escaped back, you passed by me.
I can totally do it."
One ax kills you."
Yi Ping: "You" The severe situation gave Yang Feng a huge headache.
The bandit army's combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the imperial army.
Now that they had lost 10,000 troops, how could they deal with the imperial army?
"Okay, I believe Gongming won't betray us, otherwise we wouldn't be here today.
After all, our strength is too weak.
Before the battle started, all our scouts were killed by the imperial army's scouts.
Regarding the movements of the imperial army I don’t know.
Now that I have been ambushed, I have not lost unjustly.
Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more.
It is better to strengthen the defense of the city wall to avoid being attacked by the imperial court.
Gongming, Yi Ping, you must not stay on night watch on the city wall again.
Let the imperial army sneak attack us."
Xu Huang and Yi Ping had no choice but to clasp their fists and agree: "Yes, leader":
