The four teams of tribal cavalry were still touching away, and the longbow was poured like rain, although there were not many soldiers and horses of the southern army, but looking at their backs, Han Zhang and Han Zongchang could only let his soldiers stop chasing.

"These bastards are not men at all. What kind of ability is it to rely on the horse, don't dare to fight head-on, only dare to play these tricks, I'm bah! After the soldiers and horses returned to the camp, Han Zongchang scolded angrily.

Han Desui shouted coldly: "Stupid words, this is their cleverness." They have fewer soldiers and horses than us, so is it possible that they will fight us head-on? If it were you, what would you do? ”

Han Zongchang smacked his lips and was speechless, yes, could they rush up and send him to death? It's unreasonable for me to scold.

Han Zhang said: "Father-in-law, they are sure that we are worried that the middle camp will be rushed, so they dare to do this, they are fast, once we all the soldiers and horses attack and block, they will rush into our middle camp to destroy my equipment, grain and grass and then escape." This tactic is indeed very clever. ”

Han De then nodded and said: "Brother Mengsa, they are not vegetarians, although their tribesmen and horses are generally equipped, their riding and archery skills are higher than ours. The old man figured that they would come again. They just want this kind of harassment that doesn't engage us head-on to make us impetuous, so that we can't help but rush up Niuwangling. Then they would have fallen into their scheme. ”

Han Zhang nodded and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the horn on the mountain in front of him sound again, and the horse's hooves roared. Sure enough, the opponent's four teams of cavalry had just returned to the mountain, and the other four teams of soldiers and horses had already rushed down from the mountain. The smoke and dust are billowing and arrogant.

Han Zongchang scolded: "Sure enough, it's coming again, Lao Tzu has to tell them to go and never return this time." ”

After saying that, Han Zongchang shouted and got on his horse to meet the army, but Han Zhang grabbed him.

"Brother Shi, I don't think we need to send troops to intercept this time, they are just harassing, not attacking the camp, and we can't stop them if we send troops. In vain. With the brothers with a strong crossbow. Bows and arrows waited for them at the edge of the camp. ”

"How? Wouldn't that be a shrunken turtle and be laughed at? Han Zongchang said with a red face on his neck.

Han De then shouted: "Zongchang, what Han Zhang said is right, there is no need to fight, they want to harass remotely with bows and arrows, and we will use bows and arrows against bows and arrows." You don't have to put in the effort, and you don't have to go for it. This tactic is useless to us, and it is useless for them to provoke us. ”

Han Zongchang wanted to argue, but when he saw his father's stern expression, he had to shut up.

The Southern crossbowmen quickly assembled on the west side of the camp, each holding their position, and none of them attacked. The opposing cavalry rushed halfway and saw that the enemy camp had no intention of attacking, and seemed to hesitate. A group of cavalry rushed the fastest, speeding past the south side of the camp, and a field of locust-like feathered arrows in the air followed. The drums in the southern camp were loud, and countless crossbow arrows also rained back, and there were casualties on both sides, but the tribal cavalry fell more. Because the southern army was more numerous, the arrows were more dense, and the tribal cavalry was poorly equipped, how could the fur resist the arrows, so if they were shot, they would either be killed or seriously injured. The southern army still has armor to resist, although it can't defend against the powerful arrows of the tribal cavalry, it will still be shot through the armor. But as long as you don't get shot, you basically don't have to worry about your life.

In this way, the tribal cavalry did not take any advantage. Although they were extremely fast and galloped by more than a hundred paces away like swimming fish, they were still fast and brisk, but they left behind the corpses of hundreds of tribal cavalry.

Seeing this, the cavalry of the other three tribes waved their flags, and the three soldiers and horses did not dare to enter the firing range, so they made a big bend diagonally and galloped back to Niuwang Ridge.

After that, the other party seemed to have died down and did not take the initiative to attack. Only on the Niuwang Ridge to make a big noise and provoke.

This is not a bloody charge of the imaginary cavalry battle, but the two sides are fighting wits and courage. The purpose of the tribal cavalry's provocation in this way was to provoke the entire Southern Army to charge on Niuwang Ridge. That's not just a matter of attacking from the back with unfavorable terrain, and the real rearguard is not relying on the terrain to take a little advantage in combat. The slopes of Niuwangling are littered with pits, leaving only a few passages for the tribe's soldiers and horses to rush down. If the opponent rushes with all his might, he will suffer a big loss halfway. And to bear the baptism of the bow and arrow of the tribal cavalry on the mountains. The tribal cavalry would never engage them, and they would quickly flee from the back, and the hillside on the back would also have pits and spikes. If the Confederates could not resist storming the mountains, they would suffer heavy casualties.

What I didn't expect was that the Southern Army was actually patient and cautious. This made the popularity of Mengsa Gohulu and others terrible. They came to Niuwangling a few days in advance to prepare, and put on a posture of fighting their opponents head-on, just to lure and provoke their opponents. As a result, the other party didn't eat his set at all.

From the afternoon to the evening, there was no fighting between the two sides. Now that they saw through the other party's attempt to provoke themselves to attack, Han Desui and Han Zhang also calculated that the other party would inevitably make ghosts on the mountain. Han Desui and Han Zhang are not the kind of impulsive people, especially Han Desui, who is a famous general of Daliao and quite strategic. Although he suffered a big loss and was hit hard at the hands of Lin Jue, he was still confident in the face of the tribal chiefs.

In the evening, Han Desui and Han Zhang had already made a decision after discussion. Early tomorrow morning, the army will not take care of the enemy soldiers and horses on Niuwang Ridge, and will go directly to Linhuang Mansion. The other side refused to fight head-on, so the siege forced them to fight. As for the possibility that the other party might attack the flank of the army on the way to the army, Han Desui and Han Zhang were also prepared. Before tomorrow's departure, Han Zhang first led a cavalry to detour and drag back from the northeast. If the other party dared to attack the army, Han Zhang would go around to their rear to cut off their retreat. Even if they can't leave all their soldiers and horses, at least they must trap 10,000 or 20,000 people on the other side, give them a stick, so that they will no longer dare to act rashly, and obediently return to Linhuang Mansion to defend the city.

After dark, a bonfire was lit on Niuwang Ridge, and the tribal soldiers and horses sang and danced around the bonfire, and they looked completely indifferent to the posture of the hundreds of thousands of southern troops in front of them. Not long after, some tribesmen and horses rushed down from Niuwangling with torches and shouted loudly outside the southern army camp. Rants at the Southern Army barracks, mocking them as shrunken turtles. Eventually, these ridicules turned into unbridled invective.

"What about Han Zhang? Why don't you get out of here and be a turtle with a shrunken head? ”

"Han Zhang, your mother stole your life, and sure enough, you are a cowardless ghost. Han Yanshou, an old miscellaneous man, was sanctimonious, enlarged his brother-in-law's belly, and gave birth to you, a wild seed. You still have the face to live in this world. ”

"Isn't it? Han Yanshou, this old thing is really shameless, even his brother and daughter-in-law don't let go. Han Zhang, weren't you promoted by Han Yanshou today? Don't you have a count in your heart? Han Yanshou is your father, your father was slaughtered in Liaoyang Mansion, didn't you, the shrunken king, come to us for revenge? ”

"Yes, Han Yanshou was stabbed in the stomach by the big chief of my family, from the front chest to the back. Oops, oops, screaming and crying out in pain. My chief laughed and urinated on his face. When he was dying, he ate a soak of hot urine, and he was not thirsty on the Huangquan Road. Hahaha. ”

“……”

In order to provoke the opponent, Brother Mengsa stopped treating himself as a human being, and ordered his subordinates to insult and scold. The shrill shouting and scolding were sent into the camp with the night wind under the expansion of the microphone, and the camp could be heard clearly. Han Zhang and Han Zongchang led people along the edge of the camp to inspect the defense at night, and all these mean and vicious insults were heard in their ears. He walked all the way with a blushing face, his teeth chattering, and his whole body trembling with anger.

". Damn it, these dog mongrels are so deceitful. Privy Envoy Han, how can this be endured? I took someone to slaughter the dog mongrel. Han Zongchang couldn't listen to it anymore, and gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.

Han Zhang shook his head and stopped: "Brother Zongchang, they deliberately provoked us, don't pay attention to them." If we are provoked by them, we are deceived. ”

Han Zongchang sneered: "Privy Envoy Han, you are the same as my father, this is too timid." If the enemy is outnumbered, it is understandable. Is my army twice as strong as theirs now? Everyone else is riding on your head and and peeing, can you still hold back? Although I am only your brother-in-law, if others scold you like this, it is equivalent to scolding me, and I can't tolerate it. But you can really bear it. Isn't that really a shrunken head...... That ...... that"

Han Zongchang is still a mouthful, and he thinks that this kind of forbearance is actually a turtle with a shrunken head.

Han Zhang shouted coldly: "General Han, do your own thing, you are in charge of the defense of the camp tonight, you only need to ensure the safety of the camp." You don't have to worry about anything else. If you think that these people are scolding you badly, and you are listening to words that are not in your ears. It's okay to block your ears and not listen. ”

Han Zongchang was dumbfounded, angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute. Han Zhang and his father are on an equal footing, although he said that he recognized his father as his father-in-law and was nominally his brother-in-law, but that was not something that he Han Zongchang could offend casually. Daddy has warned himself many times about this.

After Han Zhang left with his entourage, Han Zongchang checked the defense of the front camp and then returned to the front camp tent to rest in a huff. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he sat in the tent and sighed. I have been reprimanded by my father recently, all because of my poor performance in the battle of Xijin Mansion. It was unfair for Daddy to blame himself for the defeat in the Battle of Xijinfu. Wasn't he himself dizzy by that Lin Jue? That guy is so powerful, how can you blame yourself? In fact, I have always been unwanted by my father, and now that the eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother are dead, my father is only one son left, and he still doesn't want to see him, which is really annoying. This Han Zhang obviously looked down on himself, and he kindly wanted to help him drive away the noisy dog crumbs outside, but he was reprimanded by him, but it was really a dog biting Lu Dongbin.

The more Han Zongchang thought about it, the more he became angry, and he was extremely irritable and restless when he listened to the unscrupulous shouting and scolding of the tribesmen and horses outside the camp. When the tribal generals outside the camp focused on Han Desui, Han Zongchang finally couldn't bear it anymore.
