Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 94 [094] Dorgon loves Jia Yuanchun

There was the sound of booming gunfire, and the air was filled with the pungent and choking smell of gunpowder. The carriage bumped up and down, not only because of the unevenness of the mountain road, but also the ground trembled slightly whenever there was a sound of gunfire.

Jia Yuanchun sat in the carriage, shaking with the bumps of the carriage.

As the deputy supervisor, she was wearing a pair of golden lacquered mountain armor, a four-petal helmet with phoenix wings on her head, and a goose feather sword with sheath hanging on her waist.

The originally cute and peerless appearance, against the backdrop of the armor, has a hint of heroine's heroism.

The accompanying maid, Baoqin, was also wearing a thick cloth mask and a water-milled helmet, holding a Yanling knife in her hand.

Like Jia Yuanchun, she doesn't know martial arts, even if she has a knife in her hand, she can only use it to strengthen her courage.

Jia Yuanchun felt a little depressed and melancholy, she never expected that Emperor Chongrui would send her as a deputy supervisor to the front line where the battle was fierce.

Emperor Chongrui was not a wise emperor, and sometimes he would issue some weird edicts on a whim.

For example, the appointment of thirteen-year-old Jia Chen as imperial envoy.

Another example is the appointment of himself, a harem lady, as the deputy supervisor. He simply treats war as a child's play.

It's no wonder that the sun is so thin on the New Year's Eve. How can such an incomprehensible emperor be able to support the country for thousands of miles?
To sum it up, the Supreme Emperor is not as good as Emperor Chongrui. Without the blind command of the Supreme Emperor, Da Zhou would not have suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Sarhu.

Fortunately, Jia Yuanchun is well-read and has read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", so she has a little general knowledge of the military, otherwise, she is completely blinded, and she doesn't know what to do with this vain deputy supervisor.

Behind her carriage, there is another luxurious carriage in the distance, and there is Wen Tiren, Minister of Rites sitting in it.

This official of the second grade was very afraid of death, so he ordered someone to cover the carriage with a layer of iron, and he even wore two pieces of armor.

The cavalry guarding around the carriage held up their shields to protect him tightly.

Not only that, but he had to be at the end of the team, ready to escape at any time.

Jia Yuanchun secretly sighed in his heart, this Wen Tiren can't be counted on at all, it would be good if it doesn't help.

I only hope that General Feng Tang and General Qi Jiguang can lead the army to defend Shanhaiguan.

But the sky failed, and Jia Yuanchun found out after entering Shanhaiguan that Feng Tang's memory had become so bad that he couldn't even remember the names of his soldiers, and sometimes he even forgot who he was. As for the soldiers of Shanhaiguan The replenishment and depletion of supplies, food, ordnance, etc., is even more impossible to remember, and it is completely impossible to continue commanding operations.

Qi Jiguang was already seriously ill. After he arrived at Shanhaiguan after a bumpy journey, he became ill and contracted a cold. He had a persistent high fever and was unconscious. He had to cover six quilts every day to resist the harsh winter bitter cold.

As a result, as soon as Wen Tiren, the supervising army, came, he became the supreme commander who was conscious and healthy.

But he was afraid of death, he dared not climb the tower to command the battle, and was afraid of being hit by stray arrows or shells, so he pushed Jia Yuanchun, the deputy supervisor, to the tower to become the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

When Jia Yuanchun received this order, he was stunned.

She never expected that she would be pushed to the shelves and become the commander-in-chief of the Shanhaiguan Battle.

Although he was very reluctant, Wen Tiren was the supervisor of the army, and what he said was a military order, so Jia Yuanchun had no choice but to bite the bullet and climb up the tower.

As Feng Tang's son, Feng Ziying was only thirteen years old, but was appointed by Feng Tang as a lieutenant general.

Seeing that Feng Tang was confused and Qi Jiguang was seriously ill in bed, Feng Ziying had to go to the city with Jia Yuanchun to protect Jia Yuanchun's safety.

Feng Ziying has a good friendship with Jia Chen, and also admires Jia Chen's literary and martial arts, so naturally he wants to protect Jia Chen's cousin with all his heart.

Fortunately, Qi Jiguang brought a few brave generals to control the army, and temporarily stabilized the morale of the army.

But after Jia Yuanchun boarded the tower, there was still a commotion and noise among the soldiers guarding the city.

"Who is this female general?"

"Do you want us to listen to the command of a female general?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"What do General Feng and General Qi think?"

"Could it be that this female general has the skills of Hua Mulan and Liang Hongyu?"

……

Not only the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Shanhaiguan were surprised and talked a lot.

Even Chen Bing's Eight Banners army under the pass fell into chaos and noise.

A scout horse galloped into the tent of the Chinese army, and reported to Dorgon, Commander-in-Chief of Dajin.

Dorgon was slightly startled, and ordered the soldiers to stop attacking. He, his younger brother Dodo, and the maid Lagu Su Ma walked out of the big tent, put on their helmets and armor, and rode to the pass. Watching from the tower.

I saw a female general standing in the center of the city tower, she looked very eye-catching among all the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that the helmet pressed her eyebrows, and the brim of the helmet cast a shadow on her face under the sunlight, making it impossible to see her face clearly.

The corners of Dorgon's lips raised slightly, and he snorted coldly:

"It seems that there is no one available in Dazhou, and a female generation is actually in command to defend the city!"

As he said that, he secretly raised the strong bow hanging by the saddle, suddenly opened the bow and set up an arrow, and shot towards the tower.

The bow opens like a full moon, and the arrow goes like a shooting star.

No one expected that Dorgon would suddenly shoot a cold arrow.

Feng Ziying was the first to react and wanted to help, but it was too late.

An arrow shadow cut through the void and went straight to Jia Yuanchun's face.

Jia Yuanchun panicked, but still instinctively lowered his head to dodge.

"Keng!"

With the sound of metal clashing, the arrow hit Jia Yuanchun's helmet.

The arrow didn't lose its strength, and it directly lifted the helmet from the top of Jia Yuanchun's head.

Jia Yuanchun let out a coquettish cry, and the bun on the top of his head was scattered and fluttered with the wind.

The incident happened suddenly, and the soldiers of Dazhou all let out an exclamation.

Jia Yuanchun's beautiful face was fully revealed in the sun.

A pair of almond eyes are shining brightly, perhaps because of being overly frightened, tears are in the eye sockets, making it even more charming.

Seeing this astonishing face, Dorgon was infatuated.

He had always liked Da Yuer, but Da Yuer married Huang Taiji.

Since then, Dorgon has been unhappy, drank his sorrows with wine, and never approached women.

In order to comfort Dorgon, Da Yuer sent her maid Su Ma Lagu to serve Dorgon personally.

Although La Aunt Su Ma also has a stunning appearance, Dorgon is only interested in Dayuer and has never met La Aunt Su Ma.

However, when Dorgon saw Jia Yuanchun today, his heart, which had always been calm, caused waves again.

It's like a slender hand has plucked the heartstrings, numb and itchy.

Dorgon's eyes gradually became obsessed, and there were mountains and seas on both sides of the gate, but he turned a blind eye to them, as if Jia Yuanchun was the only one left in the world.

At this moment, Feng Ziying was filled with righteous indignation, quietly took off the bow and arrow she was carrying, aimed at Dorgon, drew the bow and set the arrow, and shot it out.

But due to the strong wind, the arrow was blown by the wind and missed its aim, and shot towards Lagu Su Ma who was beside Dorgon.
