A Ming Dynasty Border Fort Flag Officer Wields Firearms to Pacify Liaodong

[Firearms and a Powerful Army] [Frontier Troops Strike Back] [Resist the Tatars and Defend the Border] [Contending for Liaodong] [Court Politics]

In the eighth year of the Chongzhen reign, Liaodong is in ruins. Later Jin cavalry rampage beyond the passes, border troops flee, and fortresses fall one after another.

Lin Yan, a special forces soldier who transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking officer, is trapped in the battered Shihuiyao Fort, with nothing but advanced firearms technology and modern field tactics.

He improves paper-cartridge muskets and captures four Hongyi cannons in an ambush at Yingchou Ravine;

With barely a hundred battered soldiers, he turns the tables on an ambush, burns the Tatars' entire camp's food supplies, and kills nearly a thousand invaders in six months, sending shockwaves through the court.

An imperial decree summons him to the capital to meet the emperor and receive a promotion, but he defies the order and stays at the border: “The ice will soon break, and the Mongol army will head south. Liaodong is still in danger. I will not go to the capital!”

The court grants him an unprecedented force of a thousand men. Four fierce commanders each take charge of a battalion, building forts and training troops. With firearms raining down like a storm, they will defend all of Liaodong!
