Chapter 225: Capture Helin Alive
He Lin's army gathered quite quickly. On September 1, 5,000 Sauron Cavalry selected from the old forest in the northeast began to march towards Shenglong City.
Solon was a word that appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. According to historical records, the so-called "Sorlon tribe" had appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and it was originally a collective name for several ethnic groups.
There were also Daur and Oroqen tribes in the scattered places of Soren. Because Soren was strong and powerful in various tribes, the ethnic groups adjacent to them "don't ask about the general name of Soren, but the people living in Heilongjiang did not doubt that Soren also liked to say that Soren was brave and famous in the world, so they used their name to strengthen themselves." Many scholars in later generations believed that the so-called Soren tribes, including Ewenki, Daur and Oroqen tribes. At the beginning, the above three ethnic groups always appeared in historical records under the name of "Soren tribe". After the Soren tribe was affiliated with the Qing Dynasty and incorporated into the Eight Banners, the concept of "Soren tribe" changed.
During the Yongzheng period, because the combat effectiveness of the Old Eight Banners had been weak for a long time, the Solon tribe in the Northeast was used as an elite force. In subsequent battles, the Solon troops were constantly drawn from the Northeast to participate in the battle, which often achieved a final result.
However, this time, the Sauron troops, which have always been brave and good at fighting, will suffer an unprecedented blow.
Tienniu's troops quickly discovered the situation of this unit and immediately led their first division to fight the Qing army unit, which they thought was garbage.
On September 3, 1783, He Lin led the "elite" cavalry unit equipped with Manchu longbows and treasure swords and wearing cotton armor to reach a place only more than 90 kilometers away from Shenglong City. The hot weather in the south caused these troops who were accustomed to the cool climate in the north to suffer a lot, but they were born warriors, and they still endured this pain. For them, completing the orders deployed by His Majesty the Emperor and receiving corresponding rewards is the most glorious thing in their lives, and even if they die in battle, it is an extremely glorious thing.
They did not encounter any interception along the way, which made He Lin, who was familiar with military tactics, feel something wrong. The Qing army had had several small-scale firefights with the Ming army. Although there were not many casualties, almost all the Qing army suffered a crushing defeat. He Lin also personally participated in the small-scale fierce battle between the two sides and personally experienced the advanced Ming arms. Therefore, for the current very calm situation, he felt the coming of danger.
"Send people to find the key passes on the way to Shenglong City and check if there are any ambushes from the Ming army." He Lin said to a general.
The general immediately ran forward with five hundred people.
Looking at the muddy roads and the deserted farmland around him, He Lin had no idea.
After waiting in place for more than an hour, the general who was exploring the way forward brought the five hundred people back in a complete manner.
"How is the situation?" He Lin did not let him rest and asked him to report directly.
"General, I took these 500 people to search for about fifty miles ahead, basically all of them were forests and farmland, and no trace of the Ming army was found." The general reported on what he saw.
"It's strange, we really did it without knowing it. Didn't the officials of the Li Dynasty who fled to us say that there were many Ming soldiers gathering here in Annan?" He Lin said to himself.
"General, these Annan people are as timid as rats. The Ming army has been rampant in Southeast Asia for a long time. They are not opponents, so they will naturally boast about how powerful the Ming army is." The general who reported said. He thought that although the Ming army was powerful, the Qing army was not bad either. It is very likely that the Ming army had not discovered their trip to Shenglong City at all.
"Well... let's continue moving forward." He Lin didn't know if his decision was right, but he had already issued a military order. Even if he bit the bullet, he had to go to Shenglong City to take a look, otherwise he would go back without any gains and wait for punishment.
At the same time, Tienniu had already set up a death trap for He Lin.
"Terminal Commander, they have all come in." The messenger ran over and reported the situation on the front line to Tien Niu in the command center.
Tieniu made a quick decision and ordered: "It is now that all the infantrymen will open fire for me and beat me hard! But we must catch the one who is alive for me!"
"yes!"
The messengers rushed back and sent the messenger, and after receiving the command, the infantry quickly pulled the trigger. The second-type rifles in their hands were tested and exerted their greatest power on the battlefield.
The Ming army's attack was very sudden. The general who had just explored the way was shot by several bullets and was immediately shot into a blood gourd. He immediately fell off the horse running, and was stepped into a meat paste by the horse behind him.
The dozens of Sauron cavalry around him were also hit by bullets while galloping, which turned them into mud.
The Ming army did not aim at their horses because the Ming army now lacked cavalry and transported heavy weapons also required horses to transport them. Horses were a very valuable resource for the Ming army.
"hiss!!!"
The war horse under He Lin's crotch was frightened by a sudden sound. The horse was shattering a flick, causing He Lin to flip over from the horse.
Although the Goshhas around him quickly rescued him from the ground, they were closely watched by the bullet rains after a while and were hit by the bullets and fell to death.
These five thousand Soren soldiers were only equipped with workpieces and sabers. Faced with the situation in front of them, only a few people used bows and arrows to fight back, but the Ming army had already been hidden, and their arrows were not enough to shoot, so it was difficult to hit the Ming army infantry.
The Ming army did not launch artillery bombardment, but only raided them with infantry. However, even so, in just one hour, the five thousand Soron soldiers were completely lost and almost wiped out.
Seeing this situation, Tie Niu immediately issued a bayonet attack order and ordered He Lin to be captured alive. Soon, the result was achieved.
"Report to the division commander! The soldiers captured the pigtails alive Qing army general!" The messenger reported the situation on the front line to Tienniu.
"Okay! Bring him up to me! I want to see with my own eyes what this pig's tail looks like!" Tieniu ordered.
He Lin was carried to Tienniu's command center in a mess.
"Yeah, you're pretty good!" Tieniu looked up and down at He Lin and said, "Okay, lock him up and send him to Shenglong City! Then you can send him to Chengtian Mansion and parade him on the streets and show him!"
He Lin didn't say a word, but he knew that his good days were over and that the day of death was coming soon.
