ABSTRACT
An excellent warrior, Miss Huang Chun-ts'ai joined the Nien when she was just sixteen. In battles, she fought better than a man, and she was especially fine on horseback. She was always at the front line, fighting fearlessly despite the large number of government troops. Remembering that Miss Ts'ai was at home and unaware of the impending disaster, Mountain Cat rushed to her house to inform her: "Bad news! The demon troops are coming this way. In the twinkling of an eye, the troops had moved up to the drawbridge over the moat. Looking back, Miss Ts'ai found that Mountain Cat and his men were ready. She decided, "Now is the time. Fire!" She lit the cannon, which gave out an enormous blast, killing dozens of government soldiers. Hearing the roar of the cannon, the troops were frightened into retreat.
