"Please see, Wuyi Mountain is high and dense, with Jiuqu River winding, with dangerous shoals and cliffs. What a good ambush battlefield. If we don't use it well, then we are not worthy of the title of general. The general's idea is that the army will continue to retreat, retreat to the south of Chongyang River, destroy all the bridges on the stream, and then confront the Qing soldiers with the stream. Another general will be sent to hiding on Wuyi Mountain with a small number of troops. When Ajige's former army goes over and finds an opportunity to burn his food, grass and supplies, Ajige will definitely return to rescue him. Our army can cross the stream and follow him to attack. Just lure him into the foot of Tianyou Peak. The valley is deep and dangerous, and there can be huge rocks or fire attacks. Ajige will die without a burial place!"

"The General's plan is very good! It's done!" As soon as Li Chengdong finished speaking, Meng Wenjie immediately slapped his high-high to say it was wonderful.

"The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Ajige is eager to make contributions, but also has always despised our army and will not be prepared for this plan." Yuan Pengnian said.

Tong Yangjia and Du Yonghe also nodded repeatedly.

"Master, I am willing to lead troops to be the King of Mountains for a while." Meng Wenjie asked for a fight.

"Master, I grew up in Huashan Mountain. I am very familiar with hiking and wading through mountains and rivers. I know very well what I can eat, what I can't eat, and what I can be used as medicinal materials. I know very well. Therefore, I have an advantage over Lao Meng, so let's go down." Du Yonghe said.

"No need to fight, just General Du. Not only did you grow up in the mountains, but you are also delicate and have a brain-like mind, better than Wen Jie." Li Chengdong had obviously thought about it a long time ago, so he immediately agreed to Du Yonghe's request for battle.

Meng Wenjie curled his lips dissatisfiedly: "Master, you are too biased. What's better than Old Du? You can play with evil things, can he fight tough battles?"

Du Yonghe laughed and ignored him.

"Wenjie, you are really right. This time we are just playing tricks on him. You are brave in combat and can just block Ajige head-on, and you have the place to use your skills." Li Chengdong said with a smile.

Of course he had to laugh. Fighting with his subordinates is better than shirking responsibility and timid battles. This shows that his subordinates have confidence in this battle and that their subordinates work together.

"Okay, let me give this credit to Lao Du, let him take the advantage of it." Meng Wenjie said helplessly.

"You kid, don't behave well when you get cheap. Do you think fighting behind enemy lines is easy? If you don't get supplies or help, you can only find ways by yourself, and you must be good at seizing the opportunity of the fighter. Is your brain OK?" Du Yonghe retorted.

"Tsk! Who is not good at brains? Our Lao Meng's brain is half a pound heavier than yours. Do you believe it?"

"Your head is not small, like a pig's head. Who knows if it's brain or muddy inside?"

"You! Are you not happy?"

Meng Wenjie and Du Yonghe fought each other, but Meng Wenjie was usually defeated. Anyway, as long as he couldn't say it, Meng Wenjie wanted to solve the problem with force.

"You are anxious when you say you have a bad brain? You are still looking for a fight. You learned how to play with your three-legged cat from your master's wife, and you dare to challenge me?"

"Auntie can tolerate it, but uncle can't! Grandmaster, don't worry, Lao Du and I will fight outside the tent first!"

"Hahaha... Yonghe, Wenjie, stop being fooled by you two. It's important to be serious." Li Chengdong was amused by these two people, Yuan Pengnian also smiled with his beard and Tong Yangjia's dead face.

"Yonghe, you should not be too many soldiers behind enemy lines, up to one thousand people. You can choose strong soldiers in the entire army, and it is best to be like you, able to adapt to life in the mountains. I won't say anything else, pay attention to three points. One is to make long-term preparations. If you cannot complete the plan smoothly, you will be trapped in the north and south attack of Boluo and Ajig. Survival is the first major problem. Therefore, try to bring more food and carry as much as you can. Second, you must be flexible and maneuverable in tactics. If you see it correctly, you should hit him and run away after the fight. Third, according to the emperor, war takes the highest principle of killing the enemy and preserving yourself. Even if you can't fight, you must preserve your strength, not take risks, and not take risks easily." Li Chengdong instructed.

"Yes, the bidding is up to the order. Grandmaster, please rest assured. I grew up in the mountains, and even without food, I can't starve us. There are many wild beasts and wild fruits in the mountains. The day after tomorrow, the wild fruits will become more and more. Wuyi Mountain is so big that even if Ajige and Boluo trapped in the mountains, he has no 100,000 people, so he won't want to catch me." Du Yonghe replied.

"There is another thing. No matter how difficult it is, you cannot harass the people in the mountains. You can buy grain, borrow grain, but you must never rob grain. You also know that the emperor attaches great importance to military discipline, but you must restrain your subordinates." Yuan Pengnian also added.

"Old Du, come back alive. Then we two have a good drink. If you are not as good as you, you can't drink enough. Did you hear that?" Meng Wenjie heard Li Chengdong and Yuan Pengnian say that Du Yonghe's trip was very dangerous, and he couldn't bear it. He quickly let go of his competing heart, his eyes turned red, and he said emotionally.

"What's wrong? You said it seems like I won't go back as soon as I go. Okay, don't worry, I will definitely come back and have a big drink with you, but we must be drinking a celebration wine!" Du Yonghe looked at Meng Wenjie and smiled.

Du Yonghe went, and Li Chengdong heard the scouts report that Ajige's vanguard troops had already been chasing him, less than twenty miles away from the army. He immediately ordered the army to retreat south and ordered the generals to throw away the military tent, clothes, and weapons all over the ground, and to flee in a hurry.

...

"The Qing army is only ten thousand, but it is impossible to fight." Although Ajige's army did not exceed ten thousand, and only five thousand, he was very confident in his team. Since he entered the pass with Borobezi, he can be said to have won every battle. The Ming army was too useless and ran away as soon as he fought. Some were frightened and ran away without even checking the face.

Although Li Chengdong's troops were much more combat-effective than the regular army of the Ming army, they were not worthy of attack. So, he fled south in a hurry before he took over the battle.

"Zhu Youlang, Zhu Youlang, with such an army, you also want to resist the heavenly army. Are you dreaming?" Ajige sat on the horse, holding a horse whip in his hand, looking at the Ming army's tent, clothes and weapons discarded all over the ground, and thought with pride.

"Come on, order Nikan, don't stop chasing, don't give Li Chengdong a chance to breathe. After the army passes Chongyang Creek, it will be buried in the pot to make rice."

Seeing that it was still early, Ajige had just arrived in Shin-zheng, and asked his personal soldiers to order the cavalry leader Nikan to continue pursuing.

"Master Commander, General Nikan came to report that the vanguard has chased to the north side of Chongyang River. Li Chengdong's troops camped on the south side of Chongyang River. All the bridges on the stream were destroyed. They were anxious to go there, so please decide."
