Chapter 231: The Burning Pass
Since "Slip Away" said the "Martial Arts Secrets" so well, it made Hongxia'er itch in her heart, and she just wanted to see it quickly, she was a super genius who knew thousands of words, and she had hardly encountered words that she couldn't understand.
Thinking of this, Hongxia'er asked the black ape where the treasure book was hidden now.
The black ape "slipped away" and told her that the book "Secrets of Martial Arts" had been placed by it in the dense forest about 180 miles west of the cottage.
Yes! It's so far. Hongxia'er thought to herself: This is troublesome. It's not that it's a matter of too far away, but it's bad if you encounter interception by a "tired and screaming" black ape's subordinates on the way. After all, the strong combat effectiveness of the group of black-haired apes armed with sticks is obvious to all.
Ay! What can I do? At present, going to pick up the book is really "dangerous"!
Hi! If I also know martial arts, or if there are people in my team who know martial arts, then it will be easy to do.
Thinking of this, Hongxia'er decided to wait for dawn to send her most capable fox scouts to the nearby places for dozens or hundreds of miles to carefully reconnoiter to see if there were any "tired" tribal people ambushing and intercepting.
Sure enough, in the afternoon of the next day, the foxes who went out to reconnoiter came back one after another to report that there were signs of the enemy ambushing and guarding at several important passes where the cottage went out.
It seems that if this vicious enemy is not eliminated, Hongxia'er's tribe will not only go to get books, but even daily activities such as hunting will be greatly affected.
So how do you do it? Hard fighting is absolutely impossible, although Hongxia'er's fox friends have an absolute advantage, but the strong attack will inevitably cause too many casualties to bear.
If you can't attack by force, you can only outwit. How to outwit, this is another problem that gives her a headache in front of Hongxia'er.
After much thought, Hongxia'er decided to adopt a three-step strategy to eliminate this enemy.
First of all, find a way to drive this group of enemies from the various passes to one place;
secondly, lure most of the enemy to one of our ambush circles and annihilate them;
Finally, take out all the remaining enemies.
This kind of thinking seems good, but it is not so simple to actually do it.
Since the black-haired ape, like humans, has night blindness, so Hongxia'er decided to send a night commando, three watches in the middle of the night, leaving one of the most difficult passes to attack, and set fire to the places one hundred and eighty meters away from the rest of the passes, intending to burn these passes and the flowers and trees nearby, and drive the enemies in these places to the only pass that is not threatened by forest fires.
Unexpectedly, that night, it suddenly rained heavily, and it continued to rain for three consecutive days.
This is really not beautiful! There was no way, Hongxia'er had no choice but to postpone the execution of her battle plan.
On the fourth day, the rain passed and the sky cleared; By the fifth day, it was sunny all day, with a bright spring and good weather.
At about ten o'clock that night, Hong Xia'er decisively ordered to start the operation, she personally led a night commando team to carry dry firewood, hay and other flammable materials and flint and flint to an important pass occupied by the enemy to set a fire, and the other two important places in the enemy-occupied area were respectively led by the fourth "Lotus" and the fifth "Plum Blossom" each led a night commando to burn the mountain, leaving the second "Peach Blossom" to guard the cottage in case of accidents.
Before setting out, Hongxia'er had the nimble foxes tie a small pile of hay and firewood to the back of each commando (wild dog) with thin vines, and when they arrived at the destination, the wild dogs would bite off the vines tied to each other's bodies with their mouths to remove the flammable materials, and each night commando team was equipped with fifty foxes who were responsible for gently beating stones and lighting fires.
When Hong Xia'er and her subordinates came down to a distance of one hundred and fifty meters below the designated pass, it happened to be midnight. So Hongxia'er ordered the assault team to disperse quietly, each of them needed to find their best position to hide, and then the big guy moved forward lightly.
When she was less than 100 meters away from the pass, Hongxia'er softly ordered everyone to stop and lie on the ground, and then she asked everyone to choose a place with more grass or trees, and began to unload flammable materials such as hay and firewood to ignite nearby flowers and trees.
After a while, the fire raged and soon ignited all kinds of weeds and trees in the vicinity, and a military operation that had been planned for a long time to burn the mountain to drive away the enemy finally began smoothly.
The other two routes also carried out the operation of burning the mountain and driving away the enemy as scheduled, and both of them were completely successful.
It was not long before the enemy had to abandon the fortification of these three strategically important passes, and retreat to the only pass that had not been attacked by fire.
Hongxia'er's first step of the battle plan was completed very smoothly, and the next second step was the most critical and difficult step, "luring the enemy deeper" or "luring the enemy to the bait".
Just like "fishing", you must have a good or fragrant "bait" to lure the enemy to "take the bait".
So what kind of "bait" should be made so that the enemy will be willingly fooled?
Our current enemy is the black ape pursuit team of the "tired and called" tribe, and they are most interested in the black haired ape called "fast slipping", so for them, this "fast slipping" is the most fragrant and best "bait".
As long as this "fast-slipping" black-haired ape is released, it will inevitably attract enough attention from the enemy, and I am not afraid that they will not come to "take the bait".
Thinking of this, Hongxia'er suddenly became excited, and immediately began to lay out her second step of action plan.
However, heavy rain fell the night after the "burning checkpoints", which extinguished the fires at these three passes in time and avoided large-scale forest fires.
In fact, Hongxia'er also calculated this in advance, so she dared to boldly set fire to the mountain.
However, it is now early summer, and the heavy rain has only been falling for one night. The heavy rain stopped the next morning.
After midnight that night, Hongxia'er personally led two field teams (each team of one hundred and fifty wild dogs, each with enough dry branches tied to their backs) and three rocket teams (each team of forty foxes, each with a small flint and steel in its mouth), and quietly went to the famous canyon more than 20 kilometers from the cottage to set up an ambush.
After dawn, the cottage began to carry out the follow-up task assigned by Hongxia'er last night.
The second "Peach Blossom" still leads a field team and two fox rocket teams to guard the cottage. In addition, there are field teams that escort pig fart couples to the hospital for surgery and did not return.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the fourth female dog "Lotus" and the fifth "Plum Blossom" led a field team composed of 150 wild dogs to closely escort the "fast" black-haired ape, and in this "broad daylight", brazenly swaggered down the hill from the front door of the cottage......
