0596, burning Wolf Cave Mountain
Crouching Tiger Village, is an ancient village in the hills on the south bank of the Huai River, it is said that when Yue Fei went on the Northern Expedition, he once ordered Yang Zaixing to ambush the Golden Vulture here.
According to the confession of the captured centurion of Geng Zhongming's department, Chen Shaozong's personal soldiers hid in Crouching Tiger Village after they were dispersed.
If this group of deserters is quietly taken down, it should be able to thoroughly understand what happened to Geng Zhongming's subordinates, so as to provide a basis for decision-making for the next step.
However, Chige did not listen to the words of the captives, but ordered all his scouts to go out and carry out secret reconnaissance around the fifty miles around the Tiger Cave at the top of the screw, and be sure to find out the enemy situation nearby.
You can't blame Chige for being careful, because although the Screw Top Tiger Cave is a commanding height, it is between the Huai River in the north and the Shi River in the south. Once you go down the mountain, you will find a water network area, and the terrain is particularly complex.
Li Zicheng's army was wiped out here, in addition to the discouragement of the army and the lack of equipment, food and grass, the unfavorable terrain was also a fundamental reason.
Unfortunately, the plan did not change quickly, and in an unfamiliar environment where friends and foes are intertwined, unexpected changes can happen at any time.
"Report - General, we just found a special situation!"
A scout suddenly rushed in, startling Chige: "What's going on?"
The scout was a little nervous: "General, we sneaked into the top of the screw, and we focused all our attention on Xinyang City, and we didn't notice that there were other people nearby. The Wolf Cave Mountain in the northeast is only six miles away from our Tiger Cave, and just now I found a group of people lurking. Although they are all dressed up as local people, they are definitely the army in every move!"
Chige nodded: "Don't panic, we came here quietly at night, and the surrounding environment is not completely familiar, and some omissions are normal." Where did the other party come from, what is the equipment, and how many people are missing?"
The scout wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead: "General, because I don't dare to touch the mountain, it is not clear how many people there are." But I found a small group of female soldiers coming down the mountain to fetch water, a total of sixteen people. Although they are all dressed as village girls, they completely look like soldiers when they walk, and their steps are calm, and they seem to have a lot of martial arts on their bodies. β
"You go down and let the pro-military camp put down the war horse, and immediately prepare for battle and follow me to have a look. Chige stood up and grabbed his big bow: "Since it is a female soldier, it is likely not the troops of Geng Zhongming and Geng Jimao's father and son, and it is likely to be the rout of Li Zicheng's Chinese army." β
"Newspaperβ"
Before Chige could get out of the cave, another scout rushed in again: "General, an infantry army came out of Geng Zhongming's White Horse Mountain military camp in the east, about 3,000 people. They are all equipped with bird guns, and they are quickly approaching us, and they have now crossed the north of the loess village, and they will soon reach the Wolf's Cave Mountain!"
Chige's face sank: "The enemy is coming so fast, the loess village is less than ten miles away from us." No matter whether the enemy is coming towards those female soldiers in Wolf's Cave Mountain, or towards our Tiger Cave, they can't be let go back. The order goes down: All the guerrilla teams set off, bypass and cut off the enemy's rear road from the south side of the loess village, and the pro-military battalion immediately rushed to Wolf's Cave Mountain with me!"
The military situation is like fire.
Leaving 400 men to guard the horses, the 2,000 guerrillas quietly left the top of the screw, and then carried out the tactical detour of cutting off the enemy's rear route.
Chige led his 600 own soldiers down the mountain at the same time, urgently reinforcing the Wolf's Cave Mountain in the northeast.
Wolf's Cave Mountain is on the northeast side of Screw Peak, and there is only a large ravine between the two.
It's just that the terrain of Wolf's Cave Mountain is steep, and the broad-leaved forests are overgrown with weeds. In addition, there are groups of dark holes on the mountain, and there are often tigers and wolves infested, which makes this small mountain notorious, and it has the name of Wolf Cave Mountain.

Chige had just led his own soldiers to the bottom of the ravine, when a dense sound of bird guns firing suddenly came from the southeast.
"Chen Jie, immediately lead his brothers to the mountain to see who Geng Zhongming's 3,000-step army is going to attack! If it is the remnants of the Dashun army, hurry back and report it, so as not to misunderstand. β
Chen Jie is Chige, who captured Feng Yangzhu 3,000 people at the foot of Lei Gongzhai Mountain, and selected 300 cavalry to expand his own barracks, he found a deputy commander from there to command these 300 people.
ordered Chen Jie to lean forward first, because Chige had basically decided that Li Zicheng's rout was on Wolf Cave Mountain. Chen Jie's 300 people used to be their own people, and they should be able to communicate better.
Chige was worried that the shape was delicate now, and if the people on the Wolf Cave Mountain thought that he was coming to flank them, it would be troublesome.
"Tie Lihan, let the brothers check the bows and arrows, if Chen Jie determines the identities of the warring parties, you are ready to fight at any time. β
Tie Lihan looked around nervously behind Chige, and did not move after hearing the order: "General, we only have three hundred people, and they are all archers, Geng Zhongming's infantry is all birds, this is only very dangerous, right? If the emperor knows that the general is personally involved in danger, I can't afford it." β
"Nonsense!" Chige heard the commander of his own battalion carry the bear prince out, and immediately became angry: "When did I say that I would fight head-on? What is there to worry about the enemy's birds? As long as you launch a sneak attack from the flank, so that they cannot reload the gunpowder, you will be able to cover the retreat of the people of Wolf Cave Mountain." β
Tie Lihan stubbornly shook his head: "I haven't figured out who is on the Wolf Cave Mountain yet, so I can talk about covering the retreat, let's see." β
According to the regulations of the Xiong Family Army, although the soldiers of the pro-military battalion are all elite soldiers from a hundred, their only task is to protect their own commanders, and they generally do not undertake combat missions.
In the presence of the commander of the pro-barracks, no one can directly command the pro-soldiers. Now Tielihan doesn't get oil and salt, and Chige has no choice.
At this time, Chen Jie hurriedly returned with a person.
This is a woman in her thirties, and she is still very good-looking. It's just that the outfit of a village girl is already a little torn, and there are traces of gunsmoke on her face, and she looks like she is wearing a cape.
Chen Jie shouted from afar: "General, the top of the Wolf Cave Mountain is indeed the Chinese army of the Dashun Army, and it is also a female soldier of the Healthy Women's Battalion, this is Li Ling'er, the deputy commander of the Healthy Women's Battalion." β
Chige stared at the woman behind Chen Jie, and his brows furrowed: "Li Ling'er, this name is so familiar!"
Tie Lihan behind him whispered, "Of course it's familiar." If I'm not mistaken, this girl once designed to use our emperor. Concubine Yan Erniang and eldest princess Mo Jiuniang once said that this woman is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp!"
"I remember!" Chige smiled at Li Ling'er: "It turned out to be Li Ling'er, the leader of the Little Red Flag back then, who used to be the sister of the Red Lady, and who used to be the daughter of the Red Lady, and who used the pseudonym Yang Li to calculate our emperor in Jinzhai Town, what a blessing! Miss Ling'er, are all your people in Wolf Cave Mountain?"
"See General Feilong! The little woman is Li Ling'er. Li Ling'er clenched her fists and said: "The eldest sister Red Lady was killed by a traitor last year, and the two thousand sisters of our little red flag were merged into Mrs. Gao's healthy women's camp. In the previous chaotic battle, after the collapse of the entire Dashun army, we stayed behind and covered Mrs. Gao's emergency retreat, and we were trapped in Wolf's Cave Mountain. β
Chige nodded: "Miss Ling'er, how many people are there in Wolf Cave Mountain?"
Li Ling'er's eyes turned red: "General Feilong, I can't hide it, there are less than five hundred of my two thousand sisters left." And all the arrows were gone, and not a single grain was left. Trapped here for more than half a month, even the war horses have been killed. Today, I was going to die with the enemy, but I didn't expect Chen Jie to suddenly appear. β
"Together?" Chige was a little confused: "According to the girl, you have no arrows and no food, so what will you take to die with the enemy?"
Chen Jie said: "General Qiyu: Li Ling'er and the others have already collected a lot of hay, and they are going to set fire to the mountain on all sides when the enemy is halfway up the mountain, so they said that they will die with the enemy." β
Hearing that this group of female soldiers was so strong, Chige couldn't help but nod secretly: "I heard a sound of birds just now, did you meet the enemy in short combat?"
Li Ling'er shook his head: "The enemy's large army has not yet come, but I have sent a group of sisters to take the initiative to dedicate themselves to lure the enemy." Now more than 300 enemies have entered the ambush circle, and the follow-up large army still has more than three miles to go, and it will take about half an hour to rush over. β
"The original plan was to lead the enemy's vanguard into an ambush circle and then rob them of their weapons. It's a pity that we have less than 500 men, and we don't have weapons at hand, so there is no way to take more than 300 enemies. Otherwise, after snatching their bird guns, they can use the terrain here to support them for a while. β
Hearing that the enemy was only 300 people, Chige did not continue to delay: "Tie Lihan and Chen Jie listened to the order: you led 300 people in your department to attack in two directions, and completely annihilated 300 of the enemy's vanguard within half an hour, and more than 400 girls who covered the Dashun army evacuated from Wolf's Cave Mountain to meet with me!"
Now that the enemy situation is clear, and there are only 300 people in the vanguard, it is impossible to pose a threat to Chige. Therefore, Tie Lihan did not hesitate, leaving twenty-four people to protect Chige closely, and led the rest of the people to turn around and leave.
"Miss Ling'er, you hurry back and evacuate the sisters to me. Chige whispered, "Since you have prepared hay, you can't waste your efforts. β
Desperate life, this is a happy event that no one can refuse, and Li Linger is no exception.
Before Chige's words fell, Li Ling'er had already flown away with joy on her face.
The scout was right, Li Linger's light body kung fu was really extraordinary, and it had disappeared in just three shakes.
At noon, the southeast fell silent.
After a short time, Tie Lihan led three hundred people back to Chige's side: "All three hundred enemies were shot, and Chen Jie continued to go forward to take on the task of luring the enemy. β
Chige didn't answer Tie Lihan, but shouted in the northeast direction: "When is this coming, what are you doing with all these bits and pieces? Let the girls throw away all the things on their bodies!"
Tie Lihan turned his head and saw that it was Li Ling'er who was winding along the ravine with hundreds of female soldiers.
It was a group of women dressed in tatters, but all of them carried a single knife in their right hand and a large burden on their backs.
Li Ling'er came over first and said, "General Feilong, this is our military uniform and military flag, if we lose it, what kind of army is it?"
Tie Lihan stopped the conversation and said angrily: "Being able to escape from here now is a victory, where is there so much exquisiteness." To tell you the truth, the Dashun army has been torn apart, what is the use of you bringing the original things?"
"These things are useful!" Chige suddenly laughed: "Tielihan, let your brothers take these things, and hurry to the front to throw them along the way, and lure the enemy to this valley." Then he and Chen Jie's troops laid an ambush on both sides of the valley, and once the enemy entered the valley, they set fire to the mountain. β
