Qiming 1158

Chapter 94

When this question was asked, everyone's expressions were not quite right.

Everyone's talking about winning here, how did you guys start thinking about losing?

Not afraid of bad luck?
but……

What he said might not make sense.

The effective way for the infantry to fight against the cavalry is well understood. Either the chariots form a formation, or the soldiers form a dense formation, or they build obstacles first to limit the kinetic energy of the opponent's charge.

In addition, there are three other requirements.

First, a certain degree of discipline and morale must be guaranteed to maintain the formation. Soldiers must not jump out of the formation, nor should they be afraid of cavalry onslaught and easily collapse.

Second, it is necessary to achieve multi-faceted defense, ensure the flanks, not leave vulnerable surfaces, and not only guard the front but not the sides.

Third, it is necessary to ensure the output of superior long-range firepower. It is absolutely not possible to have only shield soldiers and pikemen without bowmen. The army formation is a pure target, and the cavalry archers will kill this army formation.

Of these three requirements, the latter two are currently achievable.

The first is that no one dares to say that it is really no problem.

Without excellent training and certain combat experience, it is difficult for the infantry to withstand the terrifying impact and kinetic energy brought by the cavalry charging, and it is also difficult for the infantry to face the psychological impact brought by the large-scale guerrilla attacks and harassment of the cavalry.

The Shengjie Army has only been formed for three months, and the training is very limited. In the face of the weaker and worse army of the grain-shooting army and the defense army, they can win, but if they encounter the regular army of the Jin army...

All the officers, look at me, I look at you, and look at Su Yonglin together.

Su Yonglin looked at the map and was silent for a while.

"It has only been three months since the establishment of the Shengjie Army. It is indeed a short period of time. Almost all of them are new recruits. The formal training has not been completely completed. I am also aware of these disadvantages. , we have no choice."

Su Yonglin patted Wei Kexian on the shoulder.

"Kexian, you're right, we're fully prepared, we have to be able to win, if we don't win, everything will be over, but we have no other way to go, either win or die, you and I, will die together.

We will all die on the battlefield, be decapitated by golden thieves, and maybe our heads will be built into Jingguan to warn future generations, our family members and friends will also be slaughtered, and all those who support us will be bloodbathed, Everything we build will come to nothing. "

Su Yonglin turned his attention to everyone again.

"Including our idea of ​​overthrowing Ginting and taking back the Central Plains to build a country without exploitation and oppression will all come to nothing and cease to exist."

For a time, the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely heavy, everyone lowered their brows and frowned, not knowing what to say.

"However, this is also the only way for us to realize this idea."

Before Su Yonglin finished speaking, the officers raised their heads again.

"What we have chosen is a path that will inevitably lead to death except for the final victory. Except for winning, it is death. This time, this golden army is the first dangerous opponent we face. If we are lucky enough to win, Countless dangers await us.

[-] Golden Army is nothing at all. After that, there may be [-] to [-], [-], or even the main force of hundreds of thousands of Golden Army. That is what we must face and win. , can't lose, lose is death, gentlemen, we have no choice. "

Every word of Su Yonglin's words seemed like heavy stones fell on the hearts of the officers, making their hearts extremely heavy.

But Su Yonglin quickly raised his fisted hand again.

"It's true that this road is dead except to win, yes, but everyone, doesn't this prove that we only need to win?"

The officers raised their heads and looked at Su Yonglin with astonishment on their faces.

"As long as we win, we can achieve our goals, everyone has land to farm, there will be no more bullies and bad gentry who will forcibly occupy the peasants' land, and there will be no corrupt officials who arbitrarily apportion taxes so that farmers can't pay the full amount when they sell their sons and daughters. .

We won't let farmers go bankrupt in a good year, and we won't let farmers with only a few mu of thin fields be counted as wealthy households and pay a large amount of taxes. For the sins done by the Jin and Song states, we can give it a general ledger and let all the sinners. People pay for it!
I know that you have not forgotten who caused your family to be destroyed, and you have embarked on this road. I believe that if it is possible, you would rather not have everything you have now, and want to live a peaceful life with your family, but there is no such possibility. .

As long as those high-class people are still there, they can do whatever they want, and no one wants to live a peaceful and stable life in their entire life. Therefore, hold the knife in your hand, strengthen your belief, fight to the death, and never retreat!This is our only way of life! "

Su Yonglin took a deep breath, intensified his tone, and said solemnly, "Break out a bloody path!"

The officers' breathing became rapid.

"Kill a bloody way!"

They spoke in unison.

The officers of the Shengjie Army were all from poor peasant backgrounds, all from the bottom of the society, and all of them had been brutally exploited by starvation and freezing.

After living such a precarious life, he was later incorporated into the private salt group by the Su family, and he barely lived a good life for a few days, but the pain of losing his land and his family could not be changed overnight.

The pain of being unable to resist after being oppressed has been deeply embedded in their minds after Su Yonglin's systematic explanation, letting them know that it is useless to just kill one or two corrupt officials to avenge themselves.

All-round oppression requires all-round resistance and all-round liquidation.

And this necessitates an absolute military advantage.

If it cannot occupy an absolute advantage in the military and cannot dominate the world, there is no way to talk about a comprehensive liquidation.

Then how to get revenge?
Therefore, it seems that there are many roads in front of them, but in fact, none of them can go through, and they can only kill one bloody road!
At the bonfire meeting that night, the entire army conveyed Su Yonglin's will from top to bottom, and the officers conveyed Su Yonglin's speech to the soldiers, so that the soldiers could also know the current situation of the Shengjie Army.

It's normal to be afraid, everyone is afraid.

But as rebels, they do not have the right or qualification to choose to escape when they are afraid. They only have the choice to muster up the courage to resist when they are afraid.

The cruelest thing about this world is that it seems that there are many choices, but almost every choice has preconditions. Of course, there are also no preconditions, but most people don't really want to choose that kind of choice.

And both Su Yonglin and Shengjiejun had only one choice - to fight a bloody path.

The whole army is completely united, fighting for a common goal.

After the order was conveyed, the Shengjie Army began to operate with great speed and efficiency.

While collecting enough ships, sand, and stones to sink the ship, send people to continue moving forward, and constantly investigate and determine the marching speed and marching position of the Jin army to ensure that the tactical execution can be effective.

On the other hand, Su Yonglin also sent someone to tell Sun Ziyi and Zhao Kaishan the specific information, so that they could be mentally and materially prepared for the possible large-scale counter-offensive of the Jin Army.

Zhao Kaishan has the most manpower and material resources in the entire Restoration Army. If he can't fight the Golden Army all the way alone, it is better to perish as soon as possible.

Su Yonglin was weak and weak. He was worried that he would not be able to win the battle, so he decided to leave a way out for himself.

Turning into the wind was his last path.

Even so, as long as there is still a slight chance of victory, he will give [-]% of his efforts.

Collecting ships is not an easy task, but as long as you pay, everything is negotiable.

Su Yonglin used the military funds of the Shengjie Army to buy boats from merchants and fishermen in Tai'an Prefecture, and prepared a large number of sandbags, sand, and stones to sink with the boat.

Just in case, the scale of the blocked river channel should be a little bigger, and the scope should be wider, so that the Jinren can't clear it out so easily.

In short, there are ways to increase the win rate.

The army is not enough because there is so much to do.

It doesn't matter if the army is not enough. The advantage of the Shengjie army over the Jin army lies in the ability of organization and mobilization. Su Yonglin once again used the white strips, and the white strips borrowed the labor force of farmers in Tai'an to assist the Shengjie army in blocking operations.

There are peasant associations to help organize and publicize, and all men and women in the new countryside, old, young, and young, who can get out of the field and put out a bit of strength are willing to help when they are called to help the victory army and their own army.

There were even many village peasant association cadres who took the initiative to ask Su Yonglin whether they should come forward to help during the war.

If you can't do anything else, it's still okay to help transport some supplies that the army needs, at least you can't let the soldiers go hungry, right?

It seems that the situation between the army and the people has appeared in this short period of time, and the farmers really regard the Shengjie Army as their own.

This made Su Yonglin very happy.

"If there is a need, I will definitely propose it, but I don't need it right now. Once the war starts, the frontline battle will be handed over to the Shengjie Army. The elders are still waiting in a safe place. Golden thieves poison Tai'an Prefecture!"

Su Yonglin's remarks brought tears to the eyes of many old farmers, holding Su Yonglin's hand and wishing him a brilliant victory.

Labor is not an issue anymore.

The rear is no longer a problem.

The Shengjie Army received the best logistical support.

Then the next most important thing is the choice of blocking area and combat area.

As long as the action speed is fast, you can grasp the initiative of the war, you can actively choose the battlefield, preset the battlefield, and prepare in advance.

The Jin Army was obviously not as fast as the Shengjie Army.

Therefore, Su Yonglin took the people out of Tai'an smoothly, and followed Wenshui all the way west to find a suitable place to start the battle.

He took a group of officers along the Wenshui all the way to visit on the spot, looking for the most favorable terrain for the Shengjie Army.

As he walked, he imparted his experience.

"My grandfather once told me that when the Yue family's army was marching and fighting, they could always predict the enemy first. There were two main reasons. The first was that General Yue was very good at developing informants in the Jin Kingdom. Provide him with important information and let him know the movement of the Jin Army.

The second one is that General Yue will always use his own advantages to choose the battlefield as much as possible, drag the golden soldiers to the battlefield that he has arranged, and then fight with the golden soldiers to increase the winning rate. This is the battle of the Yue family army. two features.

And we also have to learn the advantages of these Yue family troops, actively search for information, understand the enemy's movements, use this time to prepare as quickly as possible, find a battlefield that is beneficial to us, and lure the enemy over for a decisive battle. "

As Su Yonglin spoke, he searched for a suitable battlefield along the river bank.

After a long walk, he found a battlefield that met his psychological expectations.

According to his prediction, since the Jin Army has decided to march along the Wenshui River, it will basically march along the Wenshui River along the way.

The direction of Wenshui is really convenient for the attackers. It goes all the way to Tai'an Prefecture along the Wenshui, and there is no obstacle in the middle, and the efficiency of water transportation is much higher than that of land transportation.

In order to protect the grain-carrying ships at any time, the Jin army also wanted to obtain grain at any time, obtain water on the spot, and establish a village, so it is generally an ideal choice to march along the river.

If Su Yonglin attacked Dongping Mansion, he would also choose such an attacking route.

In this case, the Jin Army's marching route can be estimated, and the most suitable battlefield can be found along this route.

Marching along the river, it is naturally an open field on one side of the river, with a wide field of vision, and the safety factor is relatively high, so you will not worry about encountering enemy raids.

But occasionally some hills will bulge on the flat land by the river bank.

Even those hills with a height of five or six feet, there will also be a few hills with a height of seven or eight feet.

Mountain buns do not always appear, there will be one or two every other section of the road, and occasionally there is a small mountain bun community that stretches for about a mile or two.

Su Yonglin found a small mountain pack on the river bank that was a little over a mile away.

The low part of this section of the mountain is about three or four feet high, and the high part is at least seven or eight feet high. The foot of the mountain is about 250 steps away from the river bank. The overall trend is also west-east, forming a subtle arc shape.

What's more interesting is that the slope on the side of the river bank is relatively high.

Su Yonglin asked people to try it out, and it was confirmed that it was difficult to climb up on a galloping horse, and someone had to climb it in person, using both hands and feet to climb up.

After climbing up, you can find that the field of vision is relatively wide, and when you look down, you can see a big river with sparkling waves, spreading from west to east, and you can't see the end at a glance.

It is midsummer, and the trees on the mountain are more prosperous. It is indeed more convenient to hide it.

However, such places are often the focus of enemy spying.

The more cautious military strategists will pay special attention to this kind of terrain on the march, and will definitely send someone to check it in advance to ensure that there are no problems before letting the army pass.

Of course, there are always fewer military strategists and more scoundrels in the world.

Thinking of the previous performances of Shu Hu Siji and Tu Shanjing, Su Yonglin could basically rule out the possibility that they were military strategists.

But Su Yonglin didn't have the chance to come back after a failure. He couldn't fail, so he was very cautious.

After crossing this hilltop community, Su Yonglin continued to go west. Along the way, he saw two hilltops, far and near the river bank. The hills were high and low, both of which were prosperous with trees.

Under such circumstances, if only one of the mountain packs is used, it is indeed not easy to be found.

Thinking like this, a tactic gradually took shape in Su Yonglin's mind.

He's going to take advantage of this terrain.

This is a terrain with mountains on one side and water on the other.

Use this terrain to form an array at both ends, block the Golden Army cavalry in the middle, limit the distance and kinetic energy of their charge, and cut off the possibility of their roundabout attacks, so as to minimize their threat.

In order to achieve this goal, first of all, the ships of the Jin army cannot be involved, otherwise the Jin army can arrange bowmen on the ships to attack the army formation. .

Therefore, at this time, the strategy of blocking the river is particularly important.

Not only can it limit the Jin army to use Wenshui to transport food, but it can also prevent the golden army from using the water army to assist the army in combat.

In this way, east of the blockage area, the Jin Army will be in trouble.
