"Senator Zhang, let you be right, the West Thief is really here!" The enemy was twice as much as his own, which did not make Wang Sunchen feel the slightest fear, but on the contrary, he was happy and geared up, "Hahaha...... Two hundred western thieves, this credit is not small, and the opportunity for my Wang Sunchen to be promoted has come. ”

Zhang Bin was still a little worried, but when he saw Wang Sunchen's appearance at this time, he was relieved, but it was a matter of life, so he still asked: "I don't know how Wang Dutou will cut off the heads of the two hundred western thieves who were sent to the door." ”

Wang Sunchen's eyes showed a fierce light, and said: "Five miles ahead is a steep canyon on both sides, the west thief will definitely ambush there, wait a minute, our soldiers are divided into two ways, led by the humble position to lead fifty people over the mountains and mountains to go around to the back of the west thief, and when the west thief attacks the convoy in the canyon, the senator only needs to take fifty subordinates and fifty people to hold on for a moment, and when the west thief relaxes his vigilance, the low position will lead people to suddenly rush out from behind the west thief, and when he is caught off guard, he will definitely disrupt the formation of the west thief, and the west thief will be our prey at that time." ”

Zhang Bin thought for a while and said: "Wang Dutou's plan is very good, but if you defeat the enemy army with this method of warfare, there will be a lot of casualties in our army after the war. ”

"Oh! Please ask the Senate to correct it. Wang Sunchen was a little surprised, but also a little disapproving, he has always looked down on the civil officials of the imperial court, and he hates the civil officials the most when they are fighting, not to mention that he has also heard of Zhang Bin's reputation as a waste.

In fact, one of the main reasons why the Great Song Dynasty lost more and won less on the battlefield with the Western Xia and Khitans, in Wang Sunchen's view, was that most of the commanders were civilian officials.

The young Wang Sunchen obviously didn't have any city government, what he thought in his heart, his expression was reflected, but Zhang Bin didn't care, and continued: "These fifty people are all border people specially selected by me, although the bow horse is not as elite as the commander of the capital, but also the bow and horse are skilled, but they can change their clothes and dress up with the fifty people under the command of the capital, and the fifty elite soldiers act as the people to make a frightened state when the time comes, hiding behind the carriage and horse, and when the thief relaxes his vigilance and approaches the carriage and horse, he can burst out and kill the enemy, and he will be able to kill the enemy by surprise. At this time, the head of the capital and fifty elite cavalry suddenly came out from behind, and the western thieves will be panicked because of the plan, and the army will be in chaos, but they can be hunted by us. ”

Wang Sunchen's eyes were already shining, and the eyes that looked at Zhang Bin were different, and he couldn't help but praise: "Senator's clever plan, humble admiration." ”

……

……

The so-called canyon in the Hengshan is the loess ditch that has been washed out by the mountain flood rain for many years, and there must be a messy small ditch on both sides of the big ditch, the so-called thousands of hills and ravines are exactly like this, which is also one of the geomorphological characteristics of the Loess Plateau.

Therefore, Zhang Bin was not worried at all that Wang Sunchen had no hiding place with fifty people.

The deeper the meridian trail goes, the more uneven it is, walking up and stumbling, it is very easy to fall, when Zhang Bin and his party enter the canyon, it is very difficult to walk, the whole team looks tired, the Xixia cavalry hidden on both sides of the canyon sees this scene in their eyes, and can't help but despise it.

……

The military flag hunting, fluttering in the cold mountain wind, Zhang Bin rode a war horse on his hips, held a strong bow, wore an ear protection iron helmet, wore fish scale armor, chest hexagram heart guards, and swallowed the beast on his shoulders, protecting himself very solidly.

The tiger head next to him followed closely beside Zhang Bin, ready to block arrows and knives for his son-in-law at any time.

Unlike the scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties, who could only turn books and play with folding fans with their hands, the real Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the 'archery' technique, which ranked third among the six arts of Confucianism, so Zhang Bin was not a weak scholar who was powerless.

In addition, Guanzhong has been suffering from the invasion of Western Xia, Zhang Zai has attached great importance to the study and training of Zhang Bin's cavalry and the art of war since he was a child.

At a certain moment, the sound of hooves thundered, and two teams of western thieves rushed out of the ravines on the left and right sides of the front, and galloped towards the team with the mountain wind.

Zhang Bin and his entourage suddenly became in a commotion, but in fact, according to the procedures that Zhang Bin had explained and rehearsed on the road, everyone moved nervously and orderly.

The two hundred thieves were all dressed in gray wolfskin robes, wearing sheepskin helmets, with fierce faces, steel knives held tightly in their hands, and their horses were very fast.

Zhang Bin scolded everyone for relying on ten mule carts, and quickly laid down the three-ring array, with fifty Great Song cavalry guarding the periphery of the cart array, and fifty people squatting behind the mule carts, trembling.

The two hundred thieves rushed like arrows, and the steel knives in their hands were raised high, shining with bloodthirsty cold light in the cold mountain wind, like a whirlwind sweeping through a wave of yellow dust.

Two hundred steps!

One hundred steps!

Fifty steps!

"Ready!"

"Shoot!"

Zhang Bin burst into a shout, and the feather arrow in his hand came out of the string, and accurately shot into the chest of a western thief, and the western thief fell off his horse amid the screams of the western thief.

The tiger head next to him followed Zhang Bin to practice riding and archery since he was a child, and the accuracy of the archery was a little worse, but the victory was great, and an arrow knocked down a western thief war horse, and immediately the western thief fell to the side, and was dodged by his companion war horse and stepped on half to death.

"Stretch Stretch Stretch ........."

At the same time, fifty civilians dressed as soldiers shot out the bows and arrows in their hands with a panicked face, but in a panic, the accuracy was much worse, and this rain of arrows went down, except for Zhang Bin and the two people shot down by the tiger head, only four thieves fell from their horses with arrows, and the pace and speed of the cavalry of the West thieves were almost not affected.

In this way, these two hundred thieves are even more contemptuous in their hearts, and they have already treated these Song people as meat on the board, and they can cut them as much as they want, and they have unconsciously relaxed their vigilance.

The western thief's riding skills were superb and his speed was fast, Zhang Bin and Hutou only had time to shoot two arrows, and the other people who often hunted also had time to shoot the second arrow, but they did not shoot it in panic, but retreated behind the car formation in fright.

Ten steps away from the car formation, many of the western thieves had already begun to laugh, as long as they rushed closer, there was no suspense in this ambush battle.

However, in the flash of light, the fifty people who had been hiding behind the mule cart and shivering suddenly stood up, the horror in their expressions had long been replaced by a look of murderous intent, and the bows and arrows that had been prepared for a long time in everyone's hands were shot out at the first time.

Wang Sunchen's archery skills are outstanding, the hundred people under his command have been trained by him for several years, and the archery skills are far beyond ordinary soldiers, coupled with such a short distance, the western thieves were caught off guard, none of the fifty arrows shot into the air, or war horses, or human bodies, in the screams, nearly fifty western thieves who rushed to the front fell off their horses on the spot.

A quarter of the men were killed in an instant, and the remaining thieves were taken aback, and before they could think about it, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder came from behind them.
