    Since Huang Zhong was stationed outside Shanggui City, he has not done anything except daily drills.

    At the beginning, Xia Houyuan was worried that the opponent had an ambush, so he held his troops temporarily and did not attack rashly.

    Who would have expected that Huang Zhong seems to have no desire to attack at all, and only does those actions every day.

    With this, even Xia Houyuan couldn't sit still.

    Today, Xiahou Ba once again rushed in to ask for a fight. This was the first time he had asked for a fight for several days in a row.

    Originally, her father would still reject her except Xiahou Ba, but this time Xiahou Yuan unexpectedly nodded in agreement.

    "Ba'er, my father and you will go to Huang Zhong's formation with 10,000 troops to provoke him."

    Xiahou Ba nodded excitedly and turned to leave.

    However, Xia Houyuan stopped him and continued to warn: "If the other party sends troops, you must not be reluctant to fight.

    Fight and retreat at the same time, attracting Huang Zhong to the city.  If the other party doesn't send troops, you will keep yelling and scolding until the other party comes out!  "

    This time, Xiahou Ba finally nodded heavily and rushed out immediately.

    After a while, the impatient Xiahou Ba led his troops to Huang Zhong's formation.

    At this moment, Huang Zhong happened to start another day of training, and the movement outside suddenly alarmed him.

    "You ordinary man, do you dare to come out and fight this general for a hundred rounds?"

    "I have been standing still all day, and I look like a coward at first glance. The big men are here, do the rats dare to come out to fight?"

    Various shouts and curses came from outside, and they were so filthy that no one on the field could stand listening any longer.

    All the generals under Huang Zhong also asked for battle, vowing to go out and teach the enemy generals who called the formation a lesson.

    However, Huang Zhong was not in a hurry, but continued to ask the soldiers to complete daily drills.

    So, at Huang Zhong's request, the drill was carried out amidst the shouts and curses of Xiahou Ba's army.

    However, as the insults from Xiahou Ba's army became louder and more harsh, the soldiers in the formation were filled with indignation and wanted to rush out and kill the opponent immediately.

    Just like that, today¡¯s training finally ended amidst the scoldings.

    But the soldiers did not disperse and return to camp as usual, but still gathered there, waiting for Huang Zhong's order to attack.

    Huang Zhong saw that everyone's morale had reached its peak. If he suppressed it any longer, it would probably cause a huge blow to morale.

    Although Zhuge Liang arranged for Huang Zhong to hold back the defenders in Shanggui City again.

    However, he did not stop the opponent from fighting, so Huang Zhong finally said: "Soldiers, follow me and charge out."

    Xiahou Ba¡¯s troops had been cursing outside the camp for more than an hour.

    But the other party never showed up, which made Xiahou Ba a little helpless.

    After scolding for so long, everyone was tired, and Xiahou Ba was about to lead his troops back.

    Unexpectedly, at this moment, the gate of Huang Zhong's camp suddenly opened, and the army with high morale, led by Huang Zhong, rushed over in an instant.

    These soldiers and horses have been burning with anger for a long time. Now that they have suppressed it, it is almost like a prairie fire and is unstoppable.

    As soon as Xiahou Ba's army came into contact, they were killed by such an angry army.

    Xiahou Ba himself was entangled by Huang Zhong and started fighting.

    Although his father had repeatedly warned Xiahou Ba before he came, if the other party sent troops, he should retreat quickly and attract the other party to the city.

    But when the actual battle began, Xiahou Ba threw his father's words behind him and forgot them all.

    He saw Huang Zhong rushing towards him with a sword in hand, and instantly fought with him.

    He even kept on taunting him: "Old man Huang Zhong, do you think you are determined to be a coward?

    I didn¡¯t expect that I would dare to come out, and I¡¯ll wait until I get a knife from the master!  "

    But, what kind of person is Huang Zhong?  Decades of military career have made him no longer pay attention to such tricks.

    Xiahou Ba wanted to stimulate himself, but Huang Zhong was not angry at all.

    Instead, he said with a smile: "I am an old man, so I should be slower. How can I compare with you and your son? You can run away faster!"

    As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Ba was instantly angered.

    ¡°After all, I was indeed chased by Huang Zhong from outside Chencang City for hundreds of miles to get here.

    So what the other party said about them escaping all the way is indeed true.

    This kind of ridicule is much more lethal than Xiahou Ba's simple provocation.

      Therefore, the enraged Xiahou Ba no longer cared about his father's words and wanted to kill Huang Zhong to vent his anger.

    It¡¯s just that Xiahou Ba¡¯s idea is good, but there is a big gap in terms of strength.

    Xiahou Ba brandished his sword and struck at Huang Zhong's vitals without mercy.

    However, Huang Zhong was more skilled and could handle Xiahou Ba's attacks just right every time.

    And he still had enough energy to fight back, leaving Xiahou Ba in a hurry.

    The battle continued, but Xiahou Ba was gradually at a disadvantage, and the situation was very critical.

    But he has always thought too highly of himself, and the more he thinks of himself, the more unconvinced he becomes.

    Coupled with the fact that Huang Zhong would irritate him from time to time, Xia Houyuan's brain was completely filled with anger and he lost his mind.

    While the two were fighting, the armies of both sides were also fighting fiercely.

    Huang Zhong's army has been insulted for so long, and the anger in his heart is finally released.

    Naturally, they suppressed the opponent as soon as they came up and fought. After Xiahou Jun stayed outside for so long, he lost his spirit and his combat effectiveness was greatly affected.

    Therefore, under the leadership of Huang Zhong, the opponent was beaten to a pulp.

    It was not until Xiahou Ba saw that the soldiers around him had suffered heavy losses and mourning was everywhere that he was finally awakened.

    Xiahou Ba was horrified and said, "No! I almost forgot my father's instructions! If we continue to fight, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out."

    Therefore, Xiahou Ba quickly ordered a retreat and fled back to Shanggui City.

    At first, Huang Zhong did lead his army to chase for a certain distance, but he always remained rational.

    Immediately remembering Zhuge Liang's instructions, he ignored the other party and withdrew his troops back to the camp.

    Zhuge Liang once said before that no matter how provocative the other party is, Huang Zhong must avoid large-scale conflicts with the other party.

    If the opponent is really pressing, Huang Zhong will lead his troops to retreat towards the trap set by Zhuge Liang.

    As long as the opponent falls into the trap once, he will instantly have a long memory and will never dare to attack rashly again.

    But if the entire enemy army is not dispatched, Huang Zhong cannot go deep into the city to avoid a decisive battle.

    This arrangement does not mean that Zhuge Liang is afraid of the other party.

    "It's because Xiahou Yuan has enough troops and food to defend Shanggui. He is not afraid of a decisive battle and is even eager to break out as soon as possible.

    But the plan on his side has not been completed yet. If a decisive battle breaks out at this moment, he will inevitably pay a lot of losses.

    Although with Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness, even if he attacks by force, he is still 80% sure of taking Shanggui.

    But the price paid will greatly affect the follow-up plan. Calculated in this way, it is actually not cost-effective.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
