Chapter 227: Wanyan A Lin Confused

Regarding Su Yonglin's decision, before crossing the river, some people agreed, but there were also many people who held different views.

Those who disagreed thought it was too risky.

"However, the Yueyue Formation has indeed achieved the result of defeating a large number of cavalry with a small number of infantry troops, but for hundreds of years, there has been only one case of the latter, and it is enough to imagine that the glory of this formation cannot be repeated. General, this is too risky."

Xin Qiji hoped that Su Yonglin could adopt more prudent tactics.

But the Moon Formation needs rivers, an absolutely dominant navy, a well-trained army, enough chariots and crossbows, and heavy-armed warriors who are not afraid of death.

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 it is not enough for eternity.

Bet the hope of the whole army on this, in case of failure, there will be no future. For a war that cannot be lost, if such a risky method of tactics is adopted, it is very likely that the winning rate will be lost. Two clean.

This is not the scene they want to see. They hope that the Shengjie Army can create miracles and win.

But Su Yonglin defied all opinions and insisted on his decision.

"But we have everything that the Moon Array needs, the terrain, and the river. If we can't fight the backwater and wait for the Jinbing to cross the frozen river to take the initiative to attack, we will face an extremely severe and passive situation.

At that time, we still have to fight in blood. Instead of fighting in blood at that time, it is better to take the initiative to attack while we still have the initiative, and fight against the water! "

The generals look at me, I look at you, and remain silent.

They really hope that the Shengjie Army can cross this hurdle and win, so they take it too seriously.

Su Yonglin understood their intentions.

"I know what you're worrying about, but if I fail, this is my last fight, and I'll die here."

Su Yonglin looked around at the generals and said, "If you don't die, you can't live. Isn't this just dying and then living? Gentlemen, we can't dominate the sky, we can't let it stop cooling, and the river won't freeze, but we can dominate ourselves. , with our courage!"

Under the attention of the generals, Su Yonglin raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.

"God has been kind enough to us. Winter is almost over and the river is freezing. How can we be too harsh on God? God helps those who help themselves, if we don't dare to fight them head-on, we can't do anything, gentlemen, Do you have the courage to follow me?"

Of course this kind of thing is certain.

The generals finally no longer objected, and instead saluted Su Yonglin in unison.

"Have!"

"it is good!"

Su Yonglin laughed loudly: "If we win this battle, our army will really be able to move closer to the former Yue family army, but the Yue family army can defeat the iron cavalry of the Golden Army in front of the Great Plains without even needing the Moon Formation. With my back to the river and only one side facing the enemy, if I don’t win, I will die here!”

Su Yonglin pulled out his waist knife and plunged it into the ground to show his determination.

The generals followed him and inserted the waist knife into the ground together to show that life and death follow each other.

The specific situation was quickly explained to the elites of the Shengjie Army by the grass-roots officers and the army instructors.

Hearing about Su Yonglin's tragic determination, all the soldiers burst into tears, expressing that the kindness they received from the Shengjie Army and Su Yonglin was too heavy, and they could only repay it with death, and did not dare to disobey.

They are gearing up for each other, preparing to follow Su Yonglin to cross the river together, and have a bloody battle with the Jin Army's iron cavalry.

The mobilization of the entire army was completed quickly, and the selection of [-] elites was also completed. All officers and instructors at all levels were in place, and the order to advance troops was also passed on to every tactical unit.

For the Shengjie Army, a life-and-death battle is about to begin.

This day is December 23rd.

There are still seven days left before Wanyan Liang's deadline for Wanyan A-lin.

In the last seven days, Wanyan A-Lin had enough confidence to cross the river and launch a fierce attack. The water army and water attack that he feared would no longer exist, and everything would be known in the next few days.

Wanyan A-lin kept thanking God for giving him the chance to survive in a desperate situation.

He felt that if he had won the battle and gained merit, he would definitely have a good sacrifice, thank God.

As a result, when it was close to noon, he learned the latest news from the river bank patrol team.

The rebels on the other side of Shishui are mobilizing on a large scale, and there seem to be signs of crossing the river to attack.

"Crossing the river to attack? Did you read it right?"

Wanyan A Lin was very surprised by this. He didn't understand what the rebels on the other side were thinking, how could they take the initiative to attack?

Actively attack cavalry with infantry?
Are you kidding me?
Wanyan A-Lin sent someone to investigate again, and the news brought him this time was even more surprising.

The rebels have already started to cross the river. They have built several pontoon bridges on the river, and a large number of troops are crossing the river at a high speed.

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 I feel that there is no chance, so I gave up and decided to die?

Isn't that right?
Wanyan A-Lin felt very strange, so he decided to take someone to observe the situation in person, but before he set off, he learned that the opponent's cavalry had already launched an attack, and relied on the numerical advantage to defeat the river bank patrol team, and they were advancing towards Wuji County.

There are great signs of direct attack on Wuji County.

Wanyan A-Lin became more and more confused about what the head of this army was doing.

But the opponent made a move, he couldn't hold back, he had so many cavalry, do he want to defend the city?

What a joke!
Wanyan A Lin immediately decided to fight in person, leading the elite cavalry in his hands to form a huge cavalry formation to face 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 they fought before, this cavalry actually used cavalry tactics, outflanking and sprinting, and had a fighting spirit that was not afraid of death. It easily defeated his coast guard team of five hundred cavalry, which made the end. Yan Alin was a little annoyed.

Cavalry was one of the key elements for them to coerce the former Northern Song Empire and achieve victory. The Song Empire was often unable to carry out effective strategic offensives due to the lack of cavalry.

Except for Yue Fei, the god of war feared by all Jin people, Jin people did not fear any Song people.

Strategic offense is the embodiment of the true strength of a country or a military group. Therefore, being able to defend at best makes people not despise you, and being able to attack will make people feel fearful.

From Wanyan Alin's point of view, an army composed of a rabble like the rebel army would at most be arrogant to the rotten local troops and peck at each other. Once they encounter the regular army, they will completely collapse, let alone what Strategic attack.

For example, the uprising army that besieged Hejianfu before.

But the army in front of them is different, it has a bit of strategic offensive flavor, and they have already captured Zhending City, destroying all the resistance forces in Zhending City, and they don't even know if there are any living people in Zhending City.

They will sneak attack on their rear and have to abandon their advantages to retreat, and they will also use rivers and water forces to make themselves in a dilemma, and they can do nothing.

And now, when the river is about to freeze, they have generously crossed the natural barrier of the river to attack!
Shouldn't we retreat now?
Wanyan A-Lin felt that at this time, the leader of the army should immediately lead the army to withdraw to the south bank of the Hutuo River, flee quickly, and give up Zhen Ding, instead of Tie Tie continuing to confront him.

But no, the army even gave up the confrontation and turned to attack.

This... what was their idea?
Suicide attack?

Wanyan's A-Lin became more and more vigilant, so much so that when confronting the [-] cavalry of Shengjie's army, which was far less than his, he did not dare to order an active attack.

The officers around him asked why he didn't attack, and his face was solemn.

"The thief army is different from ordinary people. I feel that there is a problem. They may have some conspiracy. Don't take it lightly. Let's see what they plan to do. In short, our army is invincible."

Therefore, the Jin Army did not launch an attack immediately.

The cavalry of the Shengjie Army did not take the initiative to attack.

The two sides confronted each other like that, leaving Wanyan A-Lin at a loss.
