Two hundred and twenty-four Wanyan A Lin is confused
Some people agreed with Su Yonglin's decision before crossing the river, but many people also held different opinions.
People who think differently think it's too risky.
"The moon formation has indeed achieved the result of defeating a large number of cavalry with a few infantry, but for hundreds of years, this is the only one, and there is no other, which is enough to see the glory of this formation that cannot be reproduced. General, this is too risky."
Xin Qiji hopes that Su Yonglin can adopt more stable tactics.
The moon formation needs rivers, naval forces with absolute advantage, well-trained army, sufficient chariots and crossbows, and heavy-armed warriors who are fearless.
The conditions are too harsh.
Zhang Yuejing and Han Jinggui also said that this tactic has indeed created miracles, but it is only a flash in the pan and is not enough to be a method for all ages.
If the entire army hopes are on this, if it fails, there will be no future. For a war that cannot afford to lose, if such a risky tactic is adopted, it is very likely that the winning rate will be completely defeated by a small number.
This is not the scene they hope to see. They hope that the victory of the Jet Army can create miracles and win.
But Su Yonglin disagreed with the public and insisted on his decision.
"We have everything that the moon formation needs, terrain, rivers, and all. If we cannot fight with our backs and wait for the Jin soldiers to cross the frozen river to take the initiative to attack, we will face an extremely severe and passive situation.
At that time, we will still have a bloody battle. Instead of fighting again at that time, it is better to take the initiative to attack and fight with the back-to-earth battle when we can still take the initiative now!"
All the generals looked at me, and I looked at you, silent.
They really hope that the victorious army can overcome this hurdle and win, so they really attach great importance to it.
Su Yonglin understood their feelings.
"I know what you are worried about, but if you fail, this is my last battle, and I will die here."
Su Yonglin looked around the generals and said, "If you don't die, you will not be able to live. Isn't this the place of death and then live? You guys, we cannot dominate the heavens, we cannot stop cooling, and prevent the river from freezing, but we can dominate ourselves and use our courage!"
Under the attention of the generals, Su Yonglin raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
"God is already generous enough to us. Winter is about to pass and the river is frozen. How can we blame God too much? God helps the self-help, if we dare not fight head-on, we will be able to do nothing. Jun, do you have the courage to follow me?"
Of course this kind of thing is certain.
The generals finally stopped opposing, but saluted Su Yonglin in unison.
"have!"
"good!"
Su Yonglin laughed: "If we win this battle, our army can really move closer to the former Yue family army. However, the Yue family army can defeat the existence of the Jin army's iron cavalry on the Great Plain without even using the Yueyue formation. Our army is backed by the river and faces the enemy only once. If we fail to win, I will die here!"
Su Yonglin pulled out his waist knife and inserted it hard into the ground to show his determination.
All the generals followed him and inserted their waist knife into the ground together to show that life and death were followed.
The specific situation will soon be explained by grassroots officers and instructors of each army to the elites of the Shengjie Army.
When the soldiers learned that Su Yonglin had such a tragic determination, they all burst into tears and said that they were too kind to Shengjie Army and Su Yonglin, so they could only repay him with death and dare not violate it.
They were ready to follow Su Yonglin to cross the river, fight with the Jin army cavalry, and have a bloody battle, and learn about the terrible power that once made the Song people in the Central Plains scared.
The mobilization at the entire army was quickly completed, and 20,000 elite troops were selected. All officers and instructors at all levels were in place, and the orders for advance were also passed to each tactical unit.
A war that concerns life and death for the Shengjie Army is about to begin.
This day is December 23rd.
There are seven days left before Wanyan Liang gives Wanyan Alin.
In these last seven days, Wanyan Alin was sufficiently sure to cross the river and launch a fierce attack. The naval army and water attack he feared would no longer exist, and everything would be known in these few days.
Wanyan Alin kept thanking God and gave him the opportunity to survive in a desperate situation.
He felt that if he won a victory and gained merits, he would definitely hold a good sacrifice and thank God.
As a result, when noon approached, he learned the latest news from the Riverside Patrol Team.
The rebels on the other side of Zishui are mobilizing on a large scale, and there seems to be signs of crossing the river and attacking.
"Cross the river and attack? Are you reading it wrong?"
Wanyan Alin was very surprised by this. He didn't understand what the rebels on the other side were thinking and how could they take the initiative to attack?
Use infantry to actively attack the cavalry?
What a joke?
Wanyan Alin sent someone to visit again, and the news this time surprised him even more.
The rebels had already begun to cross the river. They built several pontoon bridges on the river, and a large number of troops were crossing the river quickly.
Wanyan Alin finally couldn't figure out what the leader of this rebel army was thinking.
This is because the river is about to freeze and feels like there is no chance, so I give up on myself and decide to die?
This is not right, right?
Wanyan Alin felt very strange, so he decided to take people to observe the situation in person. However, before he set out, he learned that the opponent's cavalry had taken the initiative to attack, relied on the advantage of the number of people to defeat the riverbank patrol team, and was advancing towards Wuji County.
There are signs of direct attack on Wuji County.
Wanyan Alin is increasingly puzzled about what the head of this army is doing.
But when the opponent makes a move, he can't retreat. He has so many cavalrymen, should he defend the city?
What a joke!
Wanyan Alin immediately decided to fight in person, leading the 16,000 cavalry in his hand to form a huge cavalry formation, and faced the opponent's three thousand idiots who were rushing to reincarnate.
The combat effectiveness of the Shengjie cavalry was indeed beyond Wanyan Alin's imagination.
Unlike the cavalry that he fought before, this cavalry could use cavalry tactics, encirclement and sprint, and his fighting spirit of fearlessness, easily defeated his 500 cavalry of the coastal patrol team, which made Wanyan Alin a little annoyed.
Cavalry was one of the key elements for them to suppress the former Northern Song Empire and achieve victory. The Song Empire was often unable to carry out effective strategic offensives due to lack of cavalry.
Except for the war god Yue Fei who was afraid of all Jin people, the Jin people had never feared any Song people.
Strategic offense is the true embodiment of a country or a military group. Therefore, being able to defend at most makes people not underestimate you, and being able to attack will make people feel scared.
In Wanyan Alin's view, an army composed of a mob of the uprising army would at most shake the mighty and peck at the local bad-selling troops. Once they encounter a regular army, they would completely collapse, let alone any strategic attack.
For example, the rebel army that had besieged Hejian Prefecture before.
But the army in front of him is different, with a bit of strategic offensive smell. Moreover, they have taken down Zhending City and destroyed all the resistance forces in Zhending City. They don’t even know whether there are living people in Zhending City.
They will sneak attack their rears and cause them to have to abandon their superiority and retreat, and they will also use rivers and naval forces to make themselves in a dilemma and powerless manner.
And now, when the river water is about to freeze, they are actually crossing the natural barrier of the river water to attack!
Shouldn't you retreat at this time?
Wanyan Alin felt that at this time the chief general of this army should immediately lead the army to retreat to the south bank of Hutuo River and escape quickly, giving up Zhending, instead of continuing to confront him.
But not, the army even gave up the confrontation and took the initiative to attack.
What was their idea?
Suicidal offense?
Wanyan Alin became more and more vigilant, so when he fought against the three thousand cavalrymen with the number of Shengjie troops, which were far less than his, he did not dare to order an active attack.
The general around him asked him why he didn't attack, and his face was full of solemnity.
"The thief army acts differently than ordinary people. I feel that there is something wrong with them. They may have conspiracies and should not be easily moved. Let's see what they plan to do. In short, our army has become invincible."
So the Jin army did not launch an attack immediately.
The cavalry of the Shengjie Army did not take the initiative to launch an attack.
The two sides confronted each other so much that Wanyan Alin was confused.
Chapter completed!
