When Ba Niu heard that Zhao Donglou and Kong Lianshun occupied Longshi Fort, he ordered his personal guards to pack up all his things, and handed over the military affairs to Dong Yuefeng and Tu Yueyue, and explained the delivery to them, as if someone would replace him soon. This made several people think that he was too strange, and it wasn't until half a month later that General Zuo Qu Weiran arrived with the holy decree, and they woke up like a dream, and they couldn't help but secretly admire him for being like a god.

As soon as the delivery was completed, Ba Niu got into the carriage and traveled day and night to Qipan Town. Along the way, he didn't dare to delay a little, let the four coachmen take turns to catch the car, and when he met the post station, he changed horses, and even ate in the car, half a month's journey, and arrived in ten days. His army was not so fast, and he was left far behind.

As soon as he saw him coming, Lin Shidong was immediately relieved. The letters, books, tiger talismans, etc. were all delivered, and then people were relegated to the lower position.

"What has the enemy been doing in recent days"?

"As usual, nothing was done."

Ba Niu only asked one such question, so he did not ask any more, but immediately sent an order to all the generals to the camp for a meeting.

Among these people, there were few people who knew that Lu Xinghe had left, so when they saw Ba Niu, they were all taken aback, and they all guessed what was going on. But Ba Niu didn't give them any explanation, but simply introduced himself and told them that now they were going to be tempered by him, and he was the only one to follow.

Although everyone was skeptical, they did not dare to ask more, and still followed the original deployment step by step, each doing its own thing. Fortunately, nothing has changed and everything is business as usual. A day later, 2,000 men from the Akiyama Peninsula arrived, and Ba Niu let the original garrison return to the team and replaced it with his own people.

Since arriving at the barracks, he didn't ask too many questions, just stared at the sand table, day and night. Others didn't dare to disturb him It was Lin Shidong, who had nothing to do and didn't come often.

After more than a month like this, news came from the southern front that Lu Xinghe set up an ambush in Longshi Fort and was defeated by Yu Fengming, and now, Yu Fengzhi's 150,000 troops have all driven to Longshi Fort. After receiving this news, Ba Niu immediately raised his account.

"The chief of the guard is alone in the depths of the army, and he is encircled, which is not his wisdom, so he wants to hold back the enemy on the southern front, so that I have to concentrate on the western front. If the western front wins, I will return to the south and attack inside and outside, and there is no reason to be invincible. But this is a dangerous move, and if we can't win, the captain of the guard will not be able to return to heaven." He glanced at everyone's faces, and was glad to see that their eyes were full of confidence and bravery.

"The enemy has 100,000 troops, and our army has 30,000 troops, and if we go head-to-head, it will be difficult to win. However, during the year, he repeatedly used troops, and his division was old. And the people in the south have been in the north for a long time, and everyone thinks of returning and has a wavering heart. Soldiers are expensive, and this is the time."

"The left general Shi Xueming, the right general Zhu Mingzhen"!

"Yes"!

"Eighty miles away, there is a wasteland, called Luo Yuan, whose land is vast and boundless, and the wild grass is high. This is the place where the road voyage burned Medivan back then. I have commanded you two to lie in ambush here with 5,000 men and horses. When the enemy army is defeated and retreats here, and set fire on all sides, he will not be burned to the ground, but half of him will be destroyed."

The two men took the order.

"Former General Zhou Yulong"!

"Subordinates are in"!

"Sixty miles away from this, there are two roads, one leads to Shu Mountain City, and the other leads to Luoyuan, and your handsome 3,000 men and horses are ambushed on the road of Luoyuan, waiting for the enemy to retreat, and then let go of the front army and cover up from behind. Remember, be sure to leave traces of marching at forks in the road, such as horse manure, hay, etc., so that the enemy can identify them."

"If this is the case, how can the enemy come knowing that there is an ambush ahead"? Not only did Zhou Yulong not understand, but all the people in the account did not understand.

Ba Niu smiled slightly: "Those who earn wisdom should use stupid methods, if it is someone else, they may not be fooled, but a smart person like Chu Han will inevitably be deceived." He didn't wait for everyone to ponder, so he continued to send generals: "General McRae of the Rear Army"!

"Subordinates are in"!

"There are two mountains in the forty miles here, one is Yuling, the other is Yunze, and you have three thousand people lying in ambush on Yunze Mountain. After the enemy army is defeated and retreats, let go of the front army and cover up from behind".

McRae took the order.

"Guerrilla General Baek Ji-young"!

"Subordinates are in"!

"You lead a thousand men, and every night at half an hour, you go to rob the camp, and remember, every time you rob the camp, you must change places the next day, and only rob the front camp, and when you arrive at the village, you must not engage with the enemy."

Bai Zhiying took the order.

"The rest of the generals! Prepare to attack"!

"Yes"! All the generals agreed in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

After Ba Niu made arrangements here, he waited for the time to be ripe, and then attacked, and Chu Han didn't know it. This is also the gap between the two people, and even Lu Xinghe's rescue of Dragonstone Fort only found out until a long time later. Now that he heard that Lu Xinghe was replaced by a young man, he didn't take him very seriously, which was also the sequelae of his repeated victories, smooth sailing, it was inevitable that he would be a little conceited, and he was the commander of an army of 100,000, and the other party only had 30,000 people, and there was a huge difference in strength.

He has tried to attack several times, but the defense of Ba Niu is leaky, so he has no way to start.

When the news of the night attack on the front army came, he misjudged it as a simple temptation, which was also related to his pride, and he thought that since the commander of the enemy army was a young man, it was very likely that he would not be able to hold his breath, and he wanted to take a little risk and carry out a sneak attack, and it was also a natural thing to test the enemy's situation before the sneak attack. So he asked the front army to prepare for a pocket formation and catch turtles in the urn. But the next night, the enemy attacked from the other direction, and they were taken by surprise, but fortunately the two sides did not engage in battle and did not cause any losses. For six or seven days in a row, they rushed over in the middle of the night every day, and when they saw them coming out, they withdrew, and if they did not come out, they shot indiscriminately, causing trouble for the front army.

The former army commander Ukulele was so disturbed that he had to ask Chu Han to move the camp.

"The little beast wants to use some carving insect skills to mess with our army's heart, it's really overwhelming"! Chu Han smiled coldly: "Order the three armies to immediately pull out the village and camp close to the enemy's camp." I'm going to make it difficult for them to move an inch, and they have to retreat!"

This kind of practice can be said to be too deceitful to deceive people, and no one would dare to do it unless they have absolute superiority in troops. Of course, the so-called camp is still more than ten miles away, but the distance is very short, not enough for the two sides to set up a formation.

When Ba Niu heard the news, he was overjoyed. Immediately command the sacrifice to the gods.

It turns out that in ancient wars, all before the war, sacrifices were made to the gods, and the form was basically the same.

Before the ritual begins, dozens of sacrificial tables are set up in the camp, and all cattle, all pigs, all sheep, pigs, and pigs, sheep and cattle are placed on the table with red flowers in their mouths and colored ribbons. Of course, there are also cow heads, pig heads, and sheep heads. Sometimes there are also fan cakes stacked in the shape of towers, five animal wine ceremonies, fruits and vegetables, cooked rice, ingots, wealth and silk. The sacrifice is extremely rich, and the more abundant it is, the more devout it is, so no one dares to cut corners in this ceremony.

The main persons participating in the ritual include a master of ceremonies, a number of chief priests, a number of deacons, and a person who reads the prayers, and the number of accompanying the sacrifices varies.

The ritual procedures are as follows: the master of ceremonies sings, the drum is raised, the trumpet is raised, the introduction is made, the music is played, the music stops, and the small music is played. The deacons perform their duties, the chief priest takes his place, and the attendants stand in a procession. The people who participated in the festival wore red. Kneel, prostrate, prostrate, prostrate, prostrate, stand up, kneel. The deacons pass incense, one incense, two incense, and then incense. Offering brocade silk, entering the wine jue, raising a pot to pour wine, pouring wine on the ground, pouring wine again, sacrificing wine, and pouring wine again. At the beginning, wine, dolphin yuan, five animals, and food were offered. The person who reads the blessing takes his place and reads the message. Open the livestock, then offer wine, then offer food, three offerings of wine, three offerings of food, offer a feast, offer dried fresh fruits, offer cakes, offer cooked rice, offer cooked food, offer dishes, soup, and offer nuts. Three prostrations, standing up, eating, burning treasures, burning blessings. Bow down, kneel, prostrate, prostrate, prostrate, prostrate, and stand up. After the salute, the food is withdrawn, the body is flattened, and the salute is fired. Finally, there is the reading of the sacrificial text. The format of the sacrificial text is basically the same, which is nothing more than a declaration of the gods of the mountains and rivers, the emperor and the queen of heaven and so on. and make a name for himself as the righteous party, and he will wear heaven for sin.

Dong Duo's sacrifice was also meticulously done, and if Chu Han had been vigilant, he should have guessed that they would take action when the cannon fired. But he was too arrogant, thinking that Lu Xinghe would not dare to confront him, and a fledgling young man would not dare to do so, so when he received the report from the former army, he only regarded it as an ordinary sacrificial activity, thus making a big mistake.
