Dream of the Red Chamber: A Frontier Militiaman Takes On a Thousand Cavalrymen

After transmigrating into a collateral branch of the Jia family in Dream of the Red Chamber, I intercepted the Sun family's secret arms smuggling and was exiled to the frontier to man a beacon tower. When a thousand northern horsemen rode south, I first shot an arrow a hundred paces, then poured out fire oil and set up thunder bombs. They said I wouldn't survive two months, but from this earthen platform, I carved out a fearsome reputation.
