I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 585 Under the Saarhu City

"Whoosh! Whoosh!~"

Dozens of flying arrows flew past the fleeing Eight Banners soldiers and disappeared into the grass along the road.

"Hurry up, don't be caught up by the Ming army!"

Zheng Hongqi Niu Lu E Zhen Mangka turned his horse's head and asked the soldiers behind him to follow quickly.The blood stains on his body and the fatigue on his face seemed to imply that he had just experienced a fierce battle.

But the Ming army pursuers behind him did not intend to let these people go. As soon as Mangka finished speaking, the Ming army's arrow rain struck again. The soldiers behind him had not had time to react to the dull wailing and the roar of the horses.

"Hurry, hurry, the camp is just ahead."

When Mangka saw this, he cursed in his heart, secretly thinking that Salhu's soldiers and horses were just for food.The Ming army actually made a surprise attack here. This was the main road to Hetuala. Five miles ahead was Wuling Village. How dare the Ming army dare to be so blatant.

But even if you are confused, now is not the time to think.He immediately waved his whip and rode forward without daring to stop any longer.Although the Ming army behind them didn't want to let such a big fish go, their movements seemed to be orderly, but they were not in a hurry, taking their time, as long as they didn't chase after it.

A group of people were chasing after each other. Mangka and others passed by an intersection, originally thinking that they would break free soon.But at this moment, a group of Ming troops suddenly sprang out from the front and came straight towards them.

The Jianlu soldiers who were charging at the front were unable to react for a moment and could only tighten their reins. But at this time, it was too late and they fell heavily to the ground. The morale of the soldiers was in chaos.

"Kill me, not one!"

The Ming army that suddenly came out did not give the Jianlu people a chance at all. They immediately rushed into the Jianlu crowd and started fighting immediately.At this moment, Ming behind him was waiting for this opportunity. He immediately quickened his pace and attacked from both sides.

Seeing that it was too late to run away, Mangka could only grit his teeth and rush forward, trying to carve out a bloody path.But the Ming army had already targeted him. When they saw him coming forward, four or five people immediately surrounded him, making it impossible for him to escape. After a while, they cleaned up the dozens of soldiers and horses.

"Oh!"

The dying Mangka was thrown heavily to the ground by three or four Ming soldiers. A man dressed as a Ming army general slowly walked up to him, squatted down and looked at him, and said with a smile:
"Mangka, long time no see!"

Hearing that someone in the Ming army actually knew him, Mangka endured the severe pain and opened his eyes to look at the Ming army general.When he opened his eyes to see clearly, his eyes suddenly changed from confused to ferocious. For a moment, he even forgot about the pain, and struggled to get up thinking of meeting the other person.

"Gaduhun, you traitor. The Khan treats you Zhenglan Qi very well. Why did you defect to the Ming Kingdom, causing the situation in Dajin to deteriorate? I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood."

Seeing Mangka being pressed hard to the ground by his guards, Gaduhun showed no mercy and stepped on his head with his foot, pressing him heavily to the ground.

"You still have the nerve to say that Nurhachi treated us well. When he slaughtered my brothers and killed Shuerhaqi, he was not very kind. If you are like this, don't blame us for being unjust."

"You don't want to die, you don't want to die!"

Hearing Mangka's curses, Gaduhun showed no mercy and immediately drew his knife to his neck and killed him with one blow.

"Clean up the battlefield here and pile up all the corpses to intimidate the Jianlu soldiers. Let's see if the old slave dares to return to Hetuala!"

After hearing Gaduhun's order, his soldiers took action one after another. They did this kind of thing often, and their methods were very skillful. After a simple search, they stabbed the injured Jianlu soldiers one by one, and then piled the corpses together. , prepare a fire to burn.

This is already the fifth battle that Gaduhun has encountered in ten days.

After entering the Fushun camp, he was appointed as the staff general of the Jianzhou camp and came under the jurisdiction of Heshun.Kaduhun was very satisfied and secretly said that his previous choice was very correct.If he had not suggested that Amin surrender, the entire Xianglan Banner would have been completely damaged by the Ming army, and he would not have such a status.

However, he also knew that his current status came from the attention of the Ming army. Therefore, after returning to the camp, he cooperated extremely with Heshun's work and helped him reorganize all the three Jia La who were affiliated with Jianzhou camp, so that Jianzhou could be promoted as soon as possible. The battalion formed a combat force.

Heshun didn't have a good impression of them at first, even though they were originally affiliated with Xianglan Banner and were subordinates of his in-law Amin.But when the Ula tribe was exterminated, Xianglan Banner remained indifferent.After that, Heshun became homeless, and Amin did not see how to help him.So don't ask for any convenience from him now.

What's more, these people are just cannon fodder to him. He knows Chen Liangbi's plan very well. Only those who can truly survive the Battle of Saarhu can be regarded as his subordinates.So Heshun did not give any face to the men and horses with the blue flag, and continued to focus on promoting Gaduhun, telling him to have the final say in all matters big and small in the Jianzhou camp, and then began training non-stop.

After half a month of training, he and He Xiong received Chen Liangbi's military order, asking them to go out of the Fushun Great Wall to clear the area outside Sarhu City and clear the way for the army to attack.

Gaduhun was also eager to make a contribution. When he saw this, he immediately suggested to Heshun that he knew the path and could send troops to the rear of Sarhu to cut off the retreat and interfere with Jianlu's supplies.Heshun naturally had no objections to this and immediately agreed to the request.So Gaduhun personally trusted the troops and went to the rear, and that was how the scene just happened.

"This place is very close to Wuling Village. Let's put on their clothes and see if we can sneak in. If we capture Wuling Village, it will be a great achievement."

Having made many military exploits in the past few days, Gadu was naturally in a happy mood.He knew that after he was appointed as a staff general, deputy generals Shushalan, Yabai and others were very dissatisfied with him, and General Heshun did not trust him very much. Therefore, he knew that only by making great achievements can he establish his prestige.

Hearing what Gaduhun said, his men nodded and prepared to change their clothes and continue eastward.But at this moment, a messenger suddenly walked up to him from the fast horse, knelt down and panted:
"Your Majesty, General Heshun, General Heshun has an order. Governor Chen has led the army out of the customs. Please arrive at Saarhu City as soon as possible to join the army."

When everyone present heard this, their spirits suddenly lifted.As soon as they heard the news, they knew that the time had come to attack Saarhu.

"Give me the order, throw away the baggage and equipment, and return to Saarhu City as quickly as possible without any mistakes."

"As ordered!"

After receiving the military order, everyone quickly got up and rushed to Sarhu City.The journey to Sarhu was not far, and Gaduhun quickly rushed back with his team.However, the closer he got to Sarhu City, the more Gaduhun felt the desolation and tension outside Sarhu City.

During the original confrontation, Nurhaci knew that the Ming army was defended by Hongyi artillery and it would be extremely difficult to attack.Therefore, the strategy of defending the city and waiting for opportunities was adopted.

Therefore, the Jianlu army had been stationed in the city before, repairing fortifications and not dispatching at will.Only sporadic rangers would harass the Ming army from time to time, and some sporadic battles would break out with the Ming army.

But since Heshun and He Xiong left the Fushun Great Wall with 3 troops ten days ago, the situation has been completely reversed. He Xiong's Jiading Camp, Heshun's Haixi Camp, and Ga Duhun's Haidong Camp and Jianzhou Camp The elite cavalry were everywhere, first clearing out the cavalry outside the city of Sarhu, cutting off the connection between Sarhu and Jianlu in Jiefan City and the old city of Hetuala.

Now, with the departure of Chen Liangbi's army, the dense Jianlu cavalry outside Sarhu City disappeared.Instead, the Ming Dynasty's Youqi and Ye Bushou have spread all over Saarhu City and Jiefan City.

When Gaduhun and his people arrived not far from Sarhu City, he was shocked by the scene he saw.

Sarhu City is built on a mountain, with Mount Sarhu as its back. There are mountains to the north and east, and only plain terrain to the west and south.And just to the west of Sarhu City, there was a constant flow of people coming from the horizon in the west. Many infantry and cavalry escorted the carriages eastward, and finally merged into the city four miles to the west of Sarhu. In the army camp.

At this moment, a burst of shouts rang out from outside Sarhu City. Gadu looked around and saw a Ming army messenger stationed outside Sarhu City, shouting to the Jianlu soldiers in the city:
"Listen, Jianlu inside, we are here to inform you on the orders of Chen Liangbi, Marquis of Taining, Governor of the Beijing Camp. Nurhaci went against the grain, deliberately conspired to rebel, and massacred the people of the Ming Dynasty, causing the lives of Liaodong to be devastated and the people's resentment boiling. Today, our army is under the command of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I have been ordered to attack Buchen, and now a large army has gathered. Governor Chen cannot bear the loss of life, and orders you to return as soon as possible. If the city is not broken, don't blame us for being ruthless."

The messenger shouted three times in a row, but there was no reply from the city. The only response he received was the continuous shooting of bows and arrows.It's just that the messenger stood far away, and the arrow not only failed to reach it, but also attracted ridicule from the Ming troops below the city.

At this moment, the city gate of Sarhu suddenly opened wide, and a group of cavalry quickly rushed out of the city and went straight towards the messenger.

But the Ming army was well prepared. When they saw Jianlu leaving the city, two groups of cavalry immediately rushed out of the military camp, trying to entangle Jianlu's cavalry.Upon seeing this, Gaduhun no longer stopped to watch, and went straight to kill the Jianlu soldiers and horses leaving the city.

The Ming army's messenger, who was about to leave the city for a sneak attack, rubbed the Ming army's majestic Jianlu cavalry.But not long after leaving the city, they saw three groups of Ming troops coming towards them.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

The leader Jianlu saw the Ming army coming towards him and made a quick decision to go back.But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the "swishing" arrow rain coming from a distance, and the wailing sounds around him continued one after another.The Ming army also came towards them. Three groups of cavalry surrounded and entangled them from the southwest and south, preventing them from escaping. They quickly wiped out this group of Jianlu cavalry.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

After the first victory in the battle, loud shouts suddenly came from the Ming army's camp, but there was silence on the walls of Sarhu. Daishan looked at the cheering Ming army below the city with a pale face.
