When Ning Yicheng spoke, his attitude was very arrogant, and he was also very confident.

In the past six months or so, Ning Yicheng has been with Zhang Han and He Yusheng and the snake, on the surface, it seems that the matter of ordering the line has long passed, and there is nothing to be done on both sides, in fact, Ning Yicheng has always despised Zhang Han in his heart, and he also feels that Zhang Han's various measures are a fluke. The most important thing is that Ning Yicheng has indeed planned with Fan Yongdou for several years, and the smuggling of Mongolia is Ning Yicheng's judgment in advance according to the changes in the affairs of the court and Liaodong, and he and Fan Yongdou have made up their minds that they must make a million fortunes in this matter, and he can also get a lot of benefits.

If Zhang Han succeeded, he would rather point to the three festivals of a few hundred taels of silver a year to make a fortune?

That's a joke!

In Ning Yicheng's heart, Zhang Han is still the ant-like figure back then, after today, there is no such person in the world, this matter is almost all Ning Yicheng's planning, and he also has a strong confidence in this result.

This thing can never fail!

Ning Yicheng smiled darkly, Lai Tongxin and Li Mingda didn't know that in this matter, he still had a backhand, a backhand called the Zhou family brothers who would never fail.

……

"The proprietor, the front is the Loess Ridge, over this ridge, the Daliang Mountain Range will come to the end, the front is the flat land, and the road is more than 100 miles to Zhangjiakou Fort."

Wang Changfu pointed ahead, he had already taken out the fire gun, held it in his arms obliquely, and his face showed a solemn expression.

Zhang Han followed his finger and looked over, there was indeed a gentle dirt slope in front of him, very wide, about dozens of zhang, the official road meandered up on the dirt slope, like a snake slowly climbing up, this ridge was bare, only one from the dwarf shrubs, the right side is still a stretching mountain, the left side is still a winding Great Wall, the scenery does not seem to have changed much.

This should be the junction of Datong Town and Xuanfu Town, beyond here is the boundary of Xuanfu Town, administratively in addition to the military fort and guard of Xuanfu Town, there are some states and counties, that is, belong to the Xuanfu Governor and Xuanda Governor jurisdiction, to later generations, here all belong to Hebei Province or Beijing City.

Zhang Han looked around, and saw nothing but the higher gentle slope.

"What should I do next?" Zhang Han asked Wang Changfu: "I can't see where the enemy is now?" ”

"If the Zhou brothers are not stupid, they will definitely hide on the other side of the slope, and when we go uphill, they will rush out and catch us off guard."

Wang Changfu didn't show any panic on his face, but there was some excitement.

He pointed to the two porters on horseback and said, "Wang Yikui, Li Laibin, you two ride horses to the slope first." ”

The two porters, one fat and the other tall and thin, had obvious muscles on their bodies, their eyes were also sharp, and their movements were fast, and the two agreed while holding the horse's belly, and the horse immediately galloped forward.

The rest of the people were waiting quietly at the bottom of the slope, and there were not many people at this time, and a few cars and pedestrians saw the situation here, and they were a little confused, and subconsciously stopped.

This stop was to save themselves, the two horses quickly galloped uphill, along the left and right sides of the official road, Wang Changfu said to Zhang Han: "These two people are actually called Liang Ma in the army, if I am an officer in the army, and under Qi Shuai, I am afraid that I will be beheaded, and the beam will not be sent out until now......"

Zhang Han thought about it, he also read in the book of war, all marches, whether camping, queuing, crossing the river, queue expansion or closure, there are certain rules in the camp, including pond horses, sentry horses, erection beams, and night non-collection, these are all specialized, by the trained professional sergeants to take responsibility, each has its own responsibility, and the general is always successful.

Only by studying the geography of mountains and rivers, knowing the terrain of various places well, and then understanding the level of their own troops and the level of the enemy's army, and then making a plan, there are certain rules for marching and camping, and there are rules to follow in peacetime training, and then pay attention to the banners and golden drums, and the battlefield formations, and can do all these well, that is a famous general at home.

or specialize in the same, for example, Chang Yuchun is only good at rushing into battle, and if he can do the same, he is a famous general.

Zhang Han only thought about it for a while, he didn't have the heart to spend his energy on military affairs. It's too tiring to fight, it's a mess at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it's more important to focus on earning your own money, is it enough to protect yourself in this troubled world.

Wang Changfu was still staring at the two people, and at this time, there were two sudden "collapses", Wang Changfu was shocked, and shouted: "Guests, be careful......

Before the words fell, everyone saw two arrows flying up from the hillside, fortunately Wang Changfu reminded in time, and the two beams and horses also reacted quickly, both of them fell down on the horse, one arrow flew through the air, and the other "horn" sounded, inserted into Wang Yikui's shoulder, and was deeply inserted in the shoulder blade.

The temperament of the two porters is also very tenacious, Li Laibin pulled the horse and retreated, while looking at the slope, Wang Yikui was the same, endured the pain and kept looking, after the two turned the horse's head, there were a few bowstrings that collapsed, and the arrows flew by, and the two of them were lying on the horse and dodged the arrows.

"it." Wang Changfu muttered, "How can these bandits have archers? ”

At this time, Zhang Chun lit the prepared flame signal, and Yang Qiu and the others must have seen that they were galloping towards it.

Many figures gradually appeared on the hillside, and pedestrians on both sides of the road had already avoided it when they saw this.

Zhang Han saw Zhou Bin in the crowd on the hillside, still with that lifeless face, he suppressed the uneasiness on the battlefield, and shouted: "Lord Zhou, it's just a small shop, is it worth it?" ”

If it is really a branch, of course Zhou Wu and Zhou Bin will not be so troublesome, and the dead will also be compensated, and the officers and soldiers who will be provoked will be suppressed if the movement is too big, although they are not afraid, it is also troublesome.

What matters is the promise of the Fan family and Ning Yicheng that in the future, the profits of smuggling business will be part of the Zhou brothers.

The premise is to destroy Zhang Han first, and then integrate the bandits on these roads from Daliang Mountain to Xuanfu, so as not to cause trouble to the Fan family.

These things are easy to do, Zhou Bin looked at Zhang Han's side with a smile on his face.

This time, more than one hundred and thirty bandits poured out, only some old and weak guards were left, and the rest of the middle-aged bandits were brought out, more than 100 people were on this hillside, and there were also five people sent by Ning Yicheng from Lai Tongxin's family.

Don't underestimate these five family members, all of them are good at bows and arrows, bandits have no combat effectiveness, they will only bully the weak, bully the merchants and the common people, when they meet officers and soldiers, they can only fight the guards, and the border army can only run as soon as they come, there are these five people with five bows and ten pots of arrows, and victory is already in hand.

Zhou Bin smiled proudly, Zhou Wu urged the bandits to quickly climb up the hill and line up in formation, originally they planned to attack suddenly, but Zhang Han sent someone to sentry here, and the ambush method could not be used, but now there are more people than Zhang Han, and they occupy a favorable position, they also prepare a large number of horses, there is a shortage of everything here on the border, and there will definitely be no shortage of horses, if Zhang Han transfers horses to escape, Zhou Bin also puts more than 30 people behind the official road, lurking on both sides, and now he can come out to intercept Zhang Han.

Chase here, and someone intercepts it, unless Zhang Han is lucky, he will die.

"Zhang Dongzhu, you must guard against frustration when you are proud, you have been proud for a while, and our brothers have endured you for a while, but today is the time for you to be frustrated, if you want to say that you simply wipe your neck yourself, save it in the hands of our brothers, then you can't survive, you can't die, you have to die in a few days, and you can't leave a good place on your body, why bother."

Of course Zhou Bin is intimidating, Zhang Han is so famous now, but when he looks closer, he still looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy Lang Jun, and his beard has not grown.

"Young proprietor, there are really people behind us, and this week's brothers are really interesting." Wang Changfu looked like he wanted to laugh, and there were really more than 30 bandits running out of the mountain gorge behind them, making the appearance of cutting off the official road, if there was no such arrangement, Zhang Han and the others saw the ambush, turned around and left, it was difficult for the bandits to catch up, and if someone blocked it, it was easy to wrap up Zhang Han and the others.

A few of the bandits led their horses behind, and the people in front of them rushed down the hillside with shouts, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and some people held long forks and rakes, fortunately, they were grinding the snow brightly, and they rushed over with such shouting, and the momentum was not small.

Zhang Han shouted towards the slope at this time: "Since the owner of Zhou wants me to die, hurry down." ”

The bandits on the hillside finally stood up, more than a hundred people, standing in two thin rows, the whole slope was full of these people's figures, miscellaneous robes, and miscellaneous weapons, but there was one stronger than the border army, that is, the spirit was quite good, not like the border army with an unfed appearance.

When bandits, in addition to being the leader, most of them have no family, one person is full of food, the whole family is not hungry, every day there is oil and water, just enjoy themselves, and then say, rob every day in the mountains, you can mix a full stomach, not like the border army, the food is small, and you can't rob, but also to feed the family, all of them are a malnourished unlucky look, the bandits look very strong, their faces are full of meat, full of anger, and there is a fierce and cruel light in their eyes.

When a bandit, you have to have a petition, it is difficult to gain trust if you don't kill people and have no life lawsuits, more than 100 people in front of you, more than ninety percent of them have murder cases, even if you didn't have it before you became a bandit, after so many years of bandits, it is impossible not to kill people and set fires. These more than 100 people gathered together, there is a vicious aura, no wonder they can gain a foothold in the place where the border army is dense, these bandits, if they do not send the general's family, it is difficult to exterminate.

Zhou Bin said: "Don't worry, Don't worry, let's go right away." ”

Zhou Wu looked at Zhang Han and the others on Zhou Bin's side, there was an oblique scar on his face, his eyes were cold, the whole person was gloomy, I don't know how many people died in his hands, this kind of gloomy aura did not come from nothing.

Zhang Han's thirty or so people are not so easy to fight in Zhou Wu's eyes, the thirty or so people are lined up in a semi-circular array, and the array is very tight, unlike the bandits, although there are many people, they are simply lined up.

The ancients fought a war, the formation can be said to be the greatest ability of the general, who is in a good formation, even if the number of people is smaller than the opponent, can still achieve the advantage of the situation, or put their strong army against the enemy's weak place, a drum to attack and break the formation, the enemy formation is chaotic, and the victory is in hand.

Before the Song and Yuan dynasties, every major war would send a formation envoy, specifically to the general, with rich battlefield experience, according to the geographical advantages and the number of people on both sides of the battlefield, this errand is not an ordinary general can do, after the victory, the formation envoy also has great merit.

Although it is only a battle of more than 200 people in front of him, it can't even be said to be a battle of the regular army, but with Wang Changfu here, and Yusheng still has a good military formation, with steps and horses, mixed front and back, long and short soldiers, in fact, the mandarin duck array has been expanded several times.

Zhou Wu had a lot of experience in fighting, but he couldn't see the flaws of Zhang Han's gang for the time being, and the most important thing was that he saw that Zhang Han's subordinates all had swords, long iron spears and long knives, as well as boring palladium, except that they had no armor, and their equipment was more sophisticated than that of ordinary border troops.

"it, this little proprietor dares to regard himself as a border general."
