The general of the Sarhu garrison is called Murima, with a yellow flag inlaid, and he comes from the Guarjia family.
This guy is Oboi's younger brother, and his fighting skills are quite satisfactory.
Historically, there are only two major military exploits he made for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. One is to follow the traitor Jin Shenghuan and seize the entire territory of Jiangxi. There was no tough battle at all, and the officers, soldiers and gentry in Jiangxi surrendered. The second is to lead the army to conquer the remnants of Li Zicheng, forcing the Shun general Li Laiheng to death, and then surrendering his tribe.
Due to the repeated defeats of the Eight Banners Army, too many generals were killed or captured. Then there was infighting, killing or imprisoning a group of nobles, and the Eight Banners Army has withered talents in terms of generals.
People like Murima turned out to be the mainstay of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Of course, Man Dahai is still alive now, but the leader has left and doesn't obey Da Yuer's orders very much.
"Your Highness, the enemy army is divided into three and besieged the two acropolises. Our army should take the opportunity to attack their camp at night," Deputy General Tu Hai said. In one place, our army didn¡¯t even have a chance to go out of the city to fight.¡±
Murima: "You can't act rashly, just stick to Saarhu and wait for reinforcements."
"Your Highness, don't miss this opportunity, time will never come again!" Tu Hai persuaded.
Although Tuhai belongs to the Zhenghuang Banner, his origin is from the Huerha tribe of the barbarian Jurchen.
Many of his people have moved out, while those who stayed in the Heilongjiang River Basin are now rebelling and fighting for independence. These independent tribes were the main targets of the Eight Banners Army's capture of slaves.
Tuhai doesn't care about the life and death of his compatriots in Heilongjiang. Although he comes from the barbarian Jurchen, he is deeply influenced by Confucian culture.
This guy is a standard cultural person. He started his career as a pen post (middle and high-level civil servants) and served as an attendant of the Academy of National History (a close minister of the Manchu and Qing emperors). Appreciated by Da Yuer, in just two or three years, he was promoted to an academician of the internal secretary, and then promoted to a senior scholar of the Hongwen Academy.
The Manchu and Qing dynasties did not separate families, yet this cabinet minister came to Sarhu again to be the deputy commander-in-chief.
Historically, this guy also neglected literature and military affairs. During his tenure as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, he was transferred to conquer Li Zicheng's remnants. When he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he was transferred to quell the Chahar rebellion, then led troops to quell the Gansu rebellion, and finally participated in the quelling of the San Francisco rebellion. After the death of illness, the first-class prince was posthumously given to enjoy the Manchu Qing Taimiao.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful she is, she's just a savage Jurchen, not as good as a Jianzhou Jurchen like Murima.
Murima was unwilling to take the initiative to attack. He knew that the Eight Banners Army at this time had no fighting power like it did a few years ago. Putting aside the political infighting of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the consecutive defeats of the Eight Banners Army, the lack of military rations alone can explain the decline in the Eight Banners Army's combat power.
The smuggling checks here are too strict, and even a grain of rice cannot be transported out of the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty, resulting in famine every year in the Manchu land.
The nobles of the Eight Banners are still enjoying the wealth and honor, but the soldiers of the Eight Banners are full and hungry.
How can a soldier fight if he doesn't have enough to eat for a long time?
Murima could only choose to defend to the death. He was afraid of taking the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and he would collapse as soon as he fought.
Tu Hai, a man of culture, clapped his sleeves and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, please select 500 warriors, and I will personally lead them to attack at night!"
"That's not necessary." Murima shook her head.
Unlike her elder brother Obai's bravery, Murima's character is more calm. Moreover, even if the night attack is successful with 500 people, how much can they achieve? It's nothing more than a little boost to the morale of the army.
No matter how the morale of the army is boosted, it will be like that, unless the soldiers can be fed every day.
"My lord, it's bad!"
Just as the two were talking, there was a loud noise from the west, and then a soldier came to report: "My lord, the Western Acropolis has fallen!"
The Western Acropolis of Salhu was forcibly blasted away by artillery, and the city wall collapsed after only three days of carrying it.
Murima and Tuhai were very helpless about this, and silently went to the outer city wall to observe the movement of the Datong army with binoculars.
The Datong Army in the west of the city raised the hot air balloon again, but did not come directly to attack the main city.
Part of them continued to stay in the west, and some of them bypassed Salhu Mountain and went to the east to join Lu Xiangsheng's troops.
As for the artillery, they were all transferred to Lu Xiangsheng, and the same trick was repeated to forcibly collapse the Eastern Acropolis.
The next day, the sound of rumbling artillery rang out in the East Guard City of Sarhu. This time, the defenders surrendered before the city wall collapsed, and opened the city gate to welcome the Datong army in.
Manchu reinforcements are still missing
Meiheihekou (Meihekou City).
This was originally the territory of the Huifa Department of Haixi Jurchen, but it was annexed by Nurhachi by force. In the past two years, the remnants of the Huifa tribe lived in the Yehe tribe.The infantry also ordered the requisition of food and grass, and hurried towards Saarhu.
Leng Saiyi only marched for more than ten miles with his troops, when he received a message from the rear: "Beizi, the southern barbarians have come from the northwest!"
The northwest is the territory of the Yehe tribe.
At this moment, Wang Tingchen led the cavalry division and detoured south from the edge of the grassland. On the way, they gathered soldiers from the Yehe tribe, gathered Huifa tribe and other Haixi Jurchen tribe along the way, and marched towards Mandahai's lair in mighty force.
The main battlefield on Saarhu's side is full of mountains and rivers, and the cavalry division is of little use if they go there. It is better to rush to outflank the Mandahai side.
Len Saiyi turned pale with fright, and said to the soldiers: "Go and chase after me, Ah Ma, and let him come back with the cavalry!"
After sending someone to deliver the letter, Len Saiyi immediately led the infantry home. His whole family lives at the mouth of the Meihei River, and all their belongings are stored there. There is the ruins of Zhaosan City in the Liao Kingdom. On this basis, Mandahai even built a simple city, which he wanted to operate as a core base.
The Datong Army has a large number of soldiers, not only the cavalry division is engaged in raids, but Yang Zhenqing's independent regiment is also engaged in surprise attacks.
In the north and south, three roads bloom. </div>
