I think the WHs are using the old double envelopment tactic made notable by Hannibal in the Battle of Cannae in the 2nd Punic war against Rome. It works against overly aggressive (reckless) enemies. Basically you set bait, like a red flag to a bull, and when the bull charges you retreat and retreat and retreat and then with a pincer move attack both flanks. P-A-I-N.
