Chapter 231 Wanyan A Lin Decided to Retreat
In the face of the sudden and strong counterattack of the Shengjie Army, the Jin Army was quite in a hurry.

Fortunately, the cavalry officers were of excellent quality, adjusted their tactics in time, used the high mobility of the cavalry to take a detour, continued to approach the army formation, and prepared to shoot.

But they did not expect that the firing frequency of the Shengjie army bowmen was quite good, one after another.

Four consecutive arrows were fired at a high frequency, and the Golden Army cavalry who shot could not lift their heads and had to bend down and hug the horse's neck to reduce the possibility of being hit.

Although the speed of the cavalry was very fast, it could be said that the target could be reached in an instant, but it was such a short distance and a short period of time that the bowmen of the Shengjie Army were stunned by arrows.

Wanyan A Lin felt that he had been fooled, and his anger was getting bigger and bigger. If it wasn't for his subordinates to dissuade him, he would have wanted to go directly to the heavy armored cavalry to teach the Shengjie Army a lesson.

But this is far from the time for the final victory.

Although the Shengjie Army tried its best to expand the attack surface by using the existence of the river, so that it only had one face to face the enemy, the entire army array was opened like a fan, which allowed the bow and crossbow to obtain more firing angles, covering almost the entire Golden Army cavalry. impact angle.

The Jin Army needs to face greater arrow deterrence, while the Shengjie Army can relatively reduce its losses.

This is very bad for the Golden Army cavalry.

However, there is an upper limit to the shooting frequency and shooting density of crossbows. Just like humans have limits, crossbows that consume more physical strength and spend more time preparing to fire are not enough to create more miracles.

There are still many Jin Army cavalry rushed to the position where they can counterattack, using cavalry shooting and back and forth to fight against the strong crossbow and divine arm bow of the Shengjie Army.

The defending soldiers of the Shengjie Army used chariots and shields as cover to maintain their formation. As long as the melee troops in the front row protected themselves well and the bow and crossbow were shooting against each other, the Shengjie Army would not suffer.

On the contrary, it can rely on the huge blow surface to give the Jin army greater damage.

During this stage, a large number of Golden Army cavalrymen were hit, fell off their horses, and quickly lost their lives. The effect of psychological tactics such as the cavalry's charging momentum to deter the infantry was greatly reduced in front of the trained and educated soldiers of the Shengjie Army.

The soldiers of the Shengjie Army knew that their commander was behind them, and with them, everyone made an appointment to live and die together, never retreat, and their mental defense was directly full.

Coupled with the physical defense effects of carts and shields, Jin Jun's psychological deterrent tactics had little effect.

It is to rush to the front to be collected by the bowmen of the Shengjie Army, and then retreat to rearrange the queue, and then do another wave.

However, it still cannot destroy or even shake the physical and spiritual defense lines of the Shengjie Army.

Although the Shengjie Army kept being shot down by arrows, they were infantry, not cavalry on horseback.

As far as Su Yonglin had estimated, Jin Jun's losses would not be less than his.

And he still has a stronger ultimate move that has not been used.

In addition to the strong crossbow and the divine arm bow, Su Yonglin also carried a group of bed crossbows with a longer range and stronger kinetic energy.

When the Jin army started the fourth wave of charging, he ordered the infantry to be cut off with a long spear, and the spear head was selected as a large arrow and placed on the crossbow. Hammer fires a bed crossbow.

The bed crossbow, whose shooting intensity was far superior to that of the strong crossbow and the God Arm Bow, was fired immediately, directly attacking the oncoming Golden Army cavalry.

The effect is very good.

A big arrow can even pierce through three or five cavalrymen, knocking them all off their horses, and sticking them all together like a skewer and pinning them to the ground, unable to move.

Thirty crossbows are fired at different angles. Facing a fan, they can shoot at the Golden Army cavalry from almost all angles. Mixed in the ordinary arrow rain, they are just as recklessly harvested by the Golden Army cavalry as the Death Scythe. life.

The closer the cavalry charges, the more vicious they will be shot, and the more casualties they will cause, which makes the cavalry in charge of the charge a bit unsustainable.

The front-line officers of the Jin Army finally realized that this army formation is really not easy to mess with. It is really a bit wrong for the Jin army to use tactics aimed at general army formations to deal with this army formation.

Because no matter where it is, it is the same face, equipped with a similar number of infantry, and the shooting frequency of the bow and crossbow is similar, there is no strong or weak.

After repeatedly charging several times, the Jin Army cavalry suffered heavy losses, and even two cavalry generals were killed by arrows. The front-line officers had to report to Wanyan Alin, saying that they would not be able to shake the Shengjie army in a short period of time. .

If it is absolutely necessary to make a gap, it is necessary to send more troops to support it, and use a larger cavalry to oppress the Shengjie Army to make strategic mistakes, otherwise it will be difficult to make a gap.

When Wanyan Alin received the report, he was also observing the battle situation on the hill, and found that the formation was a bit evil.

An arc-shaped formation, rushing to any position, feels that it is facing the same defensive force, there is no particularly weak point, and no matter how to find that fatal weakness.

Is this the so-called but moon array?

Has that Song Wudi Emperor Liu Yu, who had been dead for hundreds of years, really used such an army to defeat dozens of cavalrymen?
Wanyan Alin thought over and over again, and had to admit that even if this army formation was not that magical, this army formation and the navy behind them allowed the cavalry to only charge head on, and their tactics were strictly limited, and they could not be deployed or surrounded.

Insufficient deterrence and insufficient offensive strength, no matter how you look at it, it greatly limits the cavalry and magnifies the advantages of the infantry.

Can you fight like this?
Wanyan A Lin suddenly felt a little regretful and felt that he should not have ordered an attack when he was annoyed for a while, so that now he has lost his troops and lost his generals and his morale has been greatly demoralized.

Looking at his own people who kept falling off the horse and listening to the increasing number of casualties, Wanyan A-Lin felt that he couldn't keep fighting like this.

They are all cavalry on their side, and they will feel distressed for a long time if they die. The Shengjie Army is all infantry. It doesn't matter if they die, they can just recruit.

There is no shortage of refugees this year.

What are refugees?
Isn't that the source of troops?

Under such circumstances, how could the precious cavalry and war horses be exchanged for infantry?

After regretting it, the anger in his heart grew even stronger.

He really wanted to see the defeat of the Shengjie Army, and then Su Yonglin was dragged away by him tied to a rope and hung from the back of a horse.

This will relieve you.

Otherwise, there is really no way to relieve his anger, and there is really no way to make him feel at ease.

But can the current situation really continue?
Wanyan A-lin gritted her teeth and engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

In the end, he felt he couldn't go on like this.

Cavalry is far more precious than infantry, and war horses are even more precious. They must not be led by Su Yonglin. They must stop losses in time before the losses of the army continue to expand.

If the battle damage continued to expand, even if the victory was a tragic victory, it was difficult to say whether there was any energy left for the subsequent battles.

Although this battle will continue, Su Yonglin cannot continue to fight him in this terrain. They must leave the river, lose the protection of the navy, and face the enemy on all sides.

If you don't come with me, I won't fight you!
The battlefield is not up to you!
Wanyan A Lin took a deep breath, suppressed his anger with reason, and made the decision to retreat.

Then he ordered the entire army to stop the attack, form a complete cavalry formation, slowly retreat, keep away from the river, and at the same time guard against possible cavalry raids by the Shengjie army.

They have to take advantage of their mobility to leave the battlefield slowly, and they cannot continue to compete with the Shengjie Army.

Su Yonglin found out that the Jin army did not launch another attack after several consecutive attacks. He knew that this was a huge number of casualties, which awakened Wanyan's reason and made him realize that this battle could not go on like this.

Therefore, Su Yonglin judged that Wanyan Alin would retreat.

After a while, the situation turned out to be exactly as Su Yonglin had judged. The Jin army did not continue to charge, but gathered the army and retreated slowly, leaving a mess of corpses all over the ground in front of the Shengjie army.

Xin Qiji, who was standing beside Su Yonglin, became anxious.

How did Jin Jun go?

Just hit a point, just saw the dawn of victory, why did these guys leave?
How is this fighting?
So he looked at Su Yonglin anxiously.
