Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 107 [107] Jia Yuanchun: Shoot at me

The time goes back more than ten years ago, when Shanhaiguan was under, Zhou Jun and Jin Jun were fighting.

Corpses piled up like a mountain, and blood spilled on the ground, staining the Baili snowfield red.

Amidst the sound of clashing weapons, shouts, howls and the sound of horseshoes, Jia Yuanchun was only two hundred steps away from the gate of Shanhaiguan.

However, Dorgon and a dozen of his men with white banners had chased after him.

In order to prevent accidentally injuring Jia Yuanchun, Dorgon and his men did not dare to shoot arrows.

The general Chen Daguang turned his horse's head around, and turned around to stop Dorgon and the cavalry with the white banner.

Dorgon raised his saber and slashed at Chen Daguang.

Chen Daguang swung his spear to block.

"clang!"

A crisp sound.

The saber chopping made a burst of sparks on the shaft of the spear.

The two horses passed by each other.

Dorgon did not turn his horse's head, but continued to chase Jia Yuanchun.

Chen Daguang waved his spear and stopped most of the cavalry with white flags behind.

But there are still Liuqi who let him go, and followed Dorgon to continue the chase.

Now, only Hu Shouren is left to protect Jia Yuanchun.

The war horse under his crotch galloped wildly, and his four hooves stepped on the snow in turn, splashing a lot of snowflakes.

Jia Yuanchun rode a horse chasing the wind, but Dorgon rode a gallant horse.

At this time, Feng Ziying was hundreds of steps away, brandishing a machete, rushing left and right, killing all directions.

He just stretched out his ape arms, captured Lagu Su Ma alive on the horseback, and lay her face down in front of him so that she couldn't escape.

When he was chopping left and right, he saw Dorgon chasing Jia Yuanchun out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes trembled.

He wanted to rescue him, but he was five or six hundred steps away from Jia Yuanchun. If he wanted to fight through the battlefield, it would definitely be too late to rescue him.

Seeing that Dorgon was only a dozen steps away from Jia Yuanchun, Hu Shouren turned his horse's head, waved a mace, and smashed at Dorgon.

This stick was powerful and heavy, and it hit Dorgon directly on the forehead.

Dorgon staggered to dodge and slashed across.

Hu Shouren hurriedly blocked.

The blade grazed the mace's shaft and cut off four fingers of Hu Shouren's left hand.

Hu Shouren snorted in pain, held the mace in one hand with his right hand, and swung it horizontally, hitting Dorgon's back.

Dorgon waved his saber back to block the opponent's blow, but he didn't turn his horse around and continue fighting, but continued to chase Jia Yuanchun with his horse.

Hu Shouren waved the mace with one hand and stopped the six cavalry with white flags trailing behind Dorgon.

At this time, Jia Yuanchun was only a hundred steps away from the gate of Shanhaiguan.

But Dorgon was only twenty steps away from her.

Looking back, Jia Yuanchun knew that he was about to be captured alive by Dorgon.

As the chief general, if he is captured alive by the enemy, the morale of the Zhou army will inevitably collapse. When the Zhou army is defeated, Shanhaiguan will not be able to protect it.

Moreover, I am a generation of women, if I fall into the hands of Dorgon, I am afraid that I will be tarnished.

Although she is called Nvshi in the harem, she is only a female official, but she is actually a candidate for Emperor Chongrui's concubine. If she is defiled by Dorgon, it is equivalent to wearing a cuckold for Emperor Chongrui.

I'm afraid that Emperor Chongrui would become angry from embarrassment and take his anger out on Jia's family.

Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, raised his head, gritted his teeth and shouted to the tower of Shanhaiguan:

"Fire at the people behind me!"

At this time, Jia Yuanchun was less than a hundred steps away from Shanhaiguan, and the artillery who closed the gate could hear her shouts.

But the artillerymen looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to fire.

Because the artillery at this time is not so accurate, if it is fired, it is likely to accidentally injure Jia Yuanchun.

With the belief that he must die, Jia Yuanchun once again shouted to the tower:
"Fire at me quickly, this is a military order, and anyone who violates it will be punished!"

At this time, Dorgon was less than ten steps away from him.

Jia Yuanchun knew that if a shell fell, he might not be spared, so he ordered to shoot at herself, and died together with Dorgon.

In order not to disobey the military order, the gunners had to turn their muzzles with tears and aim at Dorgon.

A shell from a star-studded cannon bombarded Dorgon's horse, bursting into dazzling fireworks.

But the cannonball only scared Dorgon and his horse to jump, but it didn't stop them.

Dorgon whipped his whip twice, drove the frightened horse, passed through the blooming and rising fireworks, and continued to chase Jia Yuanchun madly.

Another shell from the Frang machine gun smashed over and flew towards Dorgon's chest.

Dorgon had no way to avoid it, shouted loudly, swung the saber forward, and actually sent this solid ball the size of a Cuju flying out.

Immediately afterwards, another solid bullet fired from the Hongyi Cannon hit Dorgon.

This solid bullet is the size of a wooden barrel.

Dorgon slashed with his knife, and the solid bullet fell downwards, but he still had the strength to roll forward, breaking the two front legs of his horse under his crotch.

The horse stumbled, let out a painful long neigh, and fell forward to the ground, throwing Dorgon flying.

Dorgon flew forward in the air, he stretched out his right hand, and his fingers touched the tail of Jia Yuanchun's war horse flying in the wind.

But at this moment, he ran out of strength to fly, and fell to the ground in a five-body throwing posture.

A solid bullet hit Dorgon's back heavily.

However, Dorgon was highly skilled in martial arts, he pushed the ground with his left hand, rolled sideways, rolled sideways in the air, and avoided the shell.

In order to protect Jia Yuanchun, the gunners used solid bullets except for the first star-filled shell fired, so as to prevent accidental injury to the general.

At this time, one of Dorgon's men ran over on horseback and gave up the horse to Dorgon.

Dorgon turned his horse's head and fled to the distance to avoid being bombarded by shells again.

He had just run a few steps when that subordinate was hit by a solid bullet, smashing the upper half of his body into meatloaf.

Unwilling, Dorgon patted his horse and fled while looking back at Jia Yuanchun.

I saw that the gate of Shanhaiguan was opened, but not fully opened, only wide enough to allow a person and a horse to pass through.

Jia Yuanchun hurried through the gap and fled back to the pass.

The door was quickly closed, and Dorgon watched Jia Yuanchun's back before disappearing through the door.

Since Dazhou had [-] troops leaving the customs to fight this time, while Dorgon only brought [-] cavalry, the strength of the two sides was very different.

Therefore, although the Jin army was brave and good at fighting, it did not form an absolute advantage. The battle between the two sides was stalemate, and both suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that Dorgon could not take down Shanhaiguan, if he continued to fight, it would only increase casualties, so he shouted:

"The whole army obeys the order and withdraws!"

Under the leadership of Dorgon, the remaining Eight Banners cavalry turned their horses, swept across the snow like a gust of wind, and quickly retreated.

Jia Yuanchun had also boarded the tower. Seeing this scene, he ordered Zhou Jun to retreat to the pass.

Naturally, Dorgon would not let Jia Yuanchun go. He was going to go back to rectify the army, ask Huang Taiji for more reinforcements, and then capture Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, capture Jia Yuanchun alive, and be his concubine.
