Shen Yuhan had been deploying his troops for many days and had already arranged for elite troops to sneak into the rear of the bandits and cut off their retreat.
At the same time, the main force in front of the stronghold was on standby, waiting for the order to launch an attack in one fell swoop.
"Your Highness," a spy hurried over and reported in a low voice, "The patrols in the mountain stronghold have changed shifts. Now is their most relaxed time."
Shen Yuhan's eyes turned slightly cold, and he knew in his heart that the inside of the stronghold must be in chaos and disorder at this time, which was the best time for a surprise attack.
He waved his hand and whispered, "Begin."
In the darkness of the night, a dull drumbeat echoed in the woods, and then the soldiers who had been lying in ambush for a long time rushed towards the stronghold from all directions like a tide.
The forest was suddenly dead silent, with only the sounds of swords and guns clashing gradually rising.
The bandits in the mountain stronghold were caught off guard by the sudden attack. The sentry who had just changed shifts didn't even have time to blow the horn before he was killed by Shen Yuhan's elite troops.

A bandit leader shouted loudly, trying to organize an orderly counterattack.
But they were obviously unprepared. Under Shen Yuhan's careful planning, the bandits were defeated after several rounds of fighting.
The fierce battle lasted until late at night, and the entire village fell into chaos.
The soldiers continued to approach the core of the stronghold. However, due to the steep terrain, Li Chengfeng's men fought hard to resist. Although the bandits were defeated, they still managed to hold on to several key strongholds in the inner stronghold.
Although Shen Yuhan's troops had occupied the periphery, they failed to take down the entire stronghold in one fell swoop.
"Li Chengfeng is indeed quite capable."
