A month later, Xue Zhi brought back the iron nails that Zhong Suhan needed. The thickness and weight of each nail met Zhong Suhan's requirements, but there was one thing: these things were not made of pure iron.

Xue Zhi handed over an iron nail and said, "Firstly, the military pay is not enough, and secondly, it takes too long to make it with pure iron. There is not that much iron available in Daheishan Town, so I had people wrap wood inside it, and the wood and iron are fused together to make this kind of iron nail. See if it can be used. If not, I will think of another way."

"Let me see." Zhong Suhan took it. The mountain paths were not all made of iron. Most of them were made of wood. She was not worried about the load-bearing capacity of the wood, but whether such nails could be inserted into the mountain wall.

"The head is made of iron, and the back is wrapped in iron. If you have doubts about whether it can be inserted into the mountain wall, don't worry. I have asked someone to try it."

"You always do things properly." Zhong Suhan grinned and complimented him. He immediately arranged for people to test it again. After confirming that it worked, he started attacking the Langteng tribe directly the next day.

According to the original arrangement, Luo Kuan and his men were to plant the nails, while she and several other Qu Changs went to make a feint attack.

The sentry outside the Thin Line Sky discovered that she was leading her troops and immediately went in to report. The leader of the Langteng tribe knew that this Thin Line Sky was not so easy to enter, so he was not panicked at all. He just ordered his men to retreat into the Thin Line Sky, and those above the Thin Line Sky were also prepared for the attack. As long as they came into range, they would be immediately greeted with a rain of arrows.

The cliff was high, and without a telescope it was impossible to find out how many people were there. Zhong Suhan could only act cautiously. There was no need to sacrifice so many lives for a feint attack. She stood on the high ground and observed the situation on the entire battlefield. She couldn't help feeling nervous and excited.

Li Yun rode forward to challenge him. The soldiers behind him held shields and shouted insulting words as he cursed. The sound was transmitted into the valley through the gap in the sky, forming a slight echo.

Qilia, the leader of the Langteng tribe who was enjoying himself in the Nuandong Valley with beauties on both sides, became annoyed and smashed the wine glass in his hand.

"My king, let me go out and meet that ungrateful brat!" One of his generals stood up and said with gritted teeth, "How dare he insult my king like this!"

"I don't think it's right. This is clearly an attempt to provoke us to go out and fight. The Musa Mountains will soon be welcoming a cold winter, and by then they will have no choice but to retreat."

The other person thought it was foolish to go out and fight, while the one who advocated fighting thought it was a cowardly act, and the two soon started arguing over the issue.

Qilia's head hurt from their quarrel, and he smashed a cup in anger. "Shut up, don't you know that this is a provocation from the other side? But do you want them to continue to insult me ​​like this?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The two men knelt down after saying this.

"Roy, go and give them a warning, so they don't say that the people of the Langteng tribe are all cowards!"

The one who advocated accepting the challenge was Roy. He was very skilled at shooting arrows with a bow and arrows, and he excitedly walked out after receiving the order. He climbed up the cliff using the ladder built in the valley, walked to the edge, looked at the people who were still shouting and cursing, and took the bow and arrow handed to him by his men.

"Arrogant boy, your grandfather is here, why don't you come and greet him!"

After saying that, Roy put the arrow on the bow, and the whole bow was pulled by him to look like a full moon. The wind in the Musa Mountains was no gentler than that in the Great Black Mountains. It made the flag flutter and also made his hair a little messy.

He aimed at Li Yun who was still cursing below, but felt that there was no sense of accomplishment in shooting and killing a small general, so he aimed the arrow at Zhong Suhan who was farther away. Looking at the man's position and the armor he was wearing, he concluded that he was a captain of the battalion.

Zhong Suhan instinctively sensed the danger, then heard the sound of breaking air. He subconsciously pulled the reins and moved a few steps to the side.

Sanliang moved very quickly. Just as it moved, the arrow brushed past Zhong Suhan's ear and shot into the mud. A small scratch appeared on her earlobe and some blood oozed out.

The distance from the cliff to his side is far beyond the range of ordinary bows and arrows. In order to shoot arrows to his side, the opponent not only needs to be strong and accurate, but also needs to have a good bow.

Zhong Suhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked someone to call Li Yun back, and ordered: "Retreat."

"What do you mean? We're just here for a stroll and then we'll go back?" Zhang Daqian looked at Zhong Suhan who was giving the order in disbelief. He had never felt so aggrieved on the battlefield in the past few years. "Zhong Suhan, what do you mean?"

His words shocked Shi Pian, who quickly pulled him aside and said, "Daqian, Su Han must have discovered something. Let's talk about it when we get back."

According to military law, if one questions his superiors and disobeys military orders on the battlefield, he will be beaten with thirty military sticks. Fortunately, there were only three of them brought out today, and Li Yun was in front and did not hear it. Zhong Suhan should not punish Zhang Daqian for Liang Jin's sake.

Shi Pian's arrogance made Zhang Daqian realize that this person was no longer their comrade Zhong Suhan, but Zhong Suhan who was about to become a captain of a battalion. He could lose his temper and make conflicts with that Zhong Suhan, but he could not do so with this Zhong Suhan.

He suppressed his unhappiness and quietly followed the order to call off the troops.

Zhong Suhan was very satisfied with Shi Pian's performance. She knew that the brainless Zhang Daqian would definitely target her. This was just a feint. If he dared to question her orders, there would be nothing he would not dare to do in the future.

After returning, she told them that the other side had more powerful bows and arrows. "The power of those bows and arrows is ten times stronger than ours. They also have the advantage of occupying the high ground. Our bows and arrows cannot reach such a high place."

"According to you, we have no choice but to retreat?" Zhang Daqian said sarcastically, "Don't forget that Captain Yu gave you a deadline before the end of the year."

Zhong Suhan sneered, "When did I ever say that we only have one way to retreat? Zhang Daqian, I know you hate me, but don't forget that if I can't complete the military order, none of you will be able to escape."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Zhang Daqian, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Shi Pian hurried out to smooth things over, scolded Zhang Daqian a few words, and advised Zhong Suhan a few words.

This incident left Li Yun and others confused. They all said that Zhang Daqian and Shi Pian were from the same group as Zhong Suhan, but it seemed that they did not have a very good relationship.

Zhong Suhan bent down, picked up the little rabbit that was pulling her legs, and stroked it. She was just pretending to be angry. She was not surprised at all that Zhang Daqian would do such a thing, and it was the same reason why Shi Pian said so.

"Luo Kuan, how about that nail? Can it be used? How much did you drive in?"
