During this round of battle, due to training reasons, Xin Qiji was leading the Red Ax Camp with only 300 people for training and did not participate.
Faced with the situation where all the regiments and battalions of the army had made military exploits, Xin Qiji was very unwilling, so he asked Su Yonglin to give him some fighting opportunities.
"Every battalion in the entire army has fought against the Golden Thief, except the Red Ax Battalion. This is not conducive to the growth of the elite of the Red Ax Battalion. I hope the general will give the Red Ax Battalion a chance."
Xin Qiji asked Su Yonglin to fight several times.
The battle of the heavy ax troops was mainly against the cavalry, and after the main force of the Jin army was destroyed, the remaining cavalry had no deterrent effect.
Su Yonglin used thousands of captured war horses to arm 3,000 Tiger Camp cavalry. Overall, he had an advantage in cavalry. At present, no Jin Army cavalry in Shandong has more cavalry than Shengjie Army.
So Su Yonglin began to confidently and boldly let the Huben battalion cavalry gallop freely and attack the remaining cavalry of the Jin Army, which was not numerically superior. He used battlefields and real battles to accelerate the maturity of the Shengjie Army cavalry and grow as quickly as possible.
It is indeed easy to damage soldiers in this way, but those who survive are excellent soldiers with a high survival rate and outstanding talents with the potential to become elite cavalry.
Moreover, despite being outnumbered and bullying the weak, the Shengjie Army's cavalry was victorious in repeated battles, while the Jin Army's cavalry was repeatedly defeated. In terms of mobility, it was no match for the Shengjie Army.
Because of this situation, Su Yonglin could only arrange for the heavy ax troops to follow the infantry to fight against the Jin Army's infantry. The two sides faced off head-on and fought in military formations.
It is always necessary to accumulate experience in battle, whether it is the Red Ax Battalion or Xin Qiji himself, Su Yonglin will certainly give him this opportunity.
So when the two armies were fighting, the heavy ax army was waiting in the formation wearing thick heavy armor. When the time came, they would rush forward with unparalleled axes and kill in the Jin army's formation.
Not to mention, the soldiers of the Red Ax Battalion in heavy armor were like human tanks, with terrifying power. They could tear a big hole out of the Jin Army's formation almost immediately and directly disrupt their formation.
The infantry behind the Red Ax Battalion will immediately follow up, completely tearing apart the Jin army's formation and causing it to collapse. The cavalry from the rear will take advantage of the situation and press forward. Three strikes, five cuts and two cuts can annihilate the Jin army. The effect is excellent.
After a while, the Jin army in Dongping Prefecture no longer dared to fight, and they only dared to huddle in the city and stick to it.
Faced with this situation, Su Yonglin lured them to surrender and attacked with force, which not only exercised the army's ability to attack fortresses, but also successfully captured the city.
Dongping Mansion was successfully captured, all the Jurchens were eliminated, and the reorganization plan of the 30,000-strong Shengjie Army was completed up to this point.
In addition to the 30,000 victorious troops, Su Yonglin could also command about 50,000 landlords' armed forces. They also obeyed Su Yonglin's command. If a local war started, Su Yonglin could mobilize at least 80,000 troops to fight the Jin army.
But if we want to continue going north to implement the new strategy, we can only rely on the victorious army. In that case, these untrained landlords' armed forces will not play a big role, and only defending their homes can inspire them. Their fighting spirit.
Su Yonglin planned to take the Shengjie Army out and launch an attack in a new world, and vigorously publicized it to cause more people to resist and set off a wave of major uprisings.
Su Yonglin also informed Sun Ziyi about this plan, and Sun Ziyi agreed.
Sun Tzu Yi did not participate in the entire Jin army's counterattack.
Of course it wasn't that he didn't want to participate in the war, but that Su Yonglin moved faster. When Sun Tzu Yi had just organized the army and prepared to go out to support Su Yonglin, the war was already over.
Sun Ziyi was a little depressed.
He sincerely wants to support Su Yonglin, because Su Yonglin is a natural ally with him in every sense, and an important friend who jointly checks and balances Zhao Kaishan's ambitions. The two must advance and retreat hand in hand, attack the Kingdom of Jin outwards, and deter Zhao Kaishan inwardly. Open mountains.
Sun Ziyi also knew about the bastard Zhao Kaishan's one-off operation and the defeat. He gloated at the misfortune, and at the same time expressed dissatisfaction with Su Yonglin's behavior of going to rescue Zhao Kaishan regardless of past suspicions.
He wrote to Su Yonglin, reminding Su Yonglin to be careful about Zhao Kaishan.
He asked Su Yonglin to be more discerning, saying that Zhao Kaishan was not a person who knew how to repay kindness. Instead, he would be afraid of you because of your fighting power, and even attack you behind your back.
Since the previous incident, Sun Ziyi has completely lost trust in Zhao Kaishan. He feels that Zhao Kaishan has bad intentions no matter what Zhao Kaishan does, so no matter what he wants to do, he will keep a reserve team to deal with Zhao Kaishan at any time.
Su Yonglin felt very emotional after reading the letter. He felt that once something like trust is betrayed, it will never be restored to its original appearance.
They are destined to be strangers.
At this moment, Sun Tzu Yi was also expanding his army on a large scale.
While he was expanding his direct force, the Shenwu Army, he was also accepting the support of the landlords and gentry armed forces. In a short period of time, he expanded his army to 70,000 or 80,000 people. He planned to join Su Yonglin in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and overthrow the Jinting.
He felt sorry for not being able to help Su Yonglin this time. He felt that Su Yonglin had helped him avoid the disaster, so he sent a batch of grain, ordnance and other military supplies to thank Su Yonglin, and at the same time discussed with him the next target of the attack.
Su Yonglin happily accepted Sun Tzu Yi's gift and wrote back to Sun Tzu Yi, explaining his strategy of countering the whole world. He hoped that Sun Tzu Yi could join him and the two armies to go north together and turn Hebei upside down.
As long as there are enough people in Hebei to rebel, it will be a natural barrier, which will not only prevent the Jin Army from getting supplementary manpower and materials in Hebei, but also provide enough combat power for itself.
Without the vast hinterland of the Central Plains such as Hebei and Shandong, the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized will be greatly reduced. If the main force of the Jin Kingdom can be resisted in the Yanyun area, it will greatly reduce the Jin Kingdom's war potential.
Sun Tzu Yi agreed very much with this, so he agreed with Su Yonglin on a date for dispatching troops, and both parties dispatched troops together.
In addition, when dealing with Zhao Kaishan, Sun Ziyi also gave Su Yonglin a warning, asking him to keep a force of troops on guard to avoid losing the rear after an all-out attack.
Sun Tzu Yi did not believe Zhao Kaishan, an unscrupulous guy, so Sun Tzu Yi planned to leave about 10,000 direct troops to monitor Zhao Kaishan's actions at any time.
Once Zhao Kaishan wants to cause trouble, they will resolutely fight back and never give Zhao Kaishan a chance to cause trouble.
Although Zhao Kaishan is currently concentrating his forces to attack the west and is ready to break into Damingfu Road, who knows whether this guy will suddenly turn north and enter the sphere of influence of Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi?
Sun Tzu Yi asked Su Yonglin to pay special attention to the defense of Dongping Mansion, an important water and land transportation hub.
In this regard, Su Yonglin also felt it was necessary.
It is essential to be on guard against others. Su Yonglin should not be a person who complains after being stabbed in the back. Instead of regretting after being stabbed in the back, it is better to prepare in advance.
So Su Yonglin decided to keep Su Jue and his troops in charge.
Then he thought about it and felt that it was not enough to keep Su Jue alone. He might need to be accompanied by important members of the Guidance Department who could mobilize militia organizations from various places to assist the army, so Su Yonglin decided to keep Tian Guizi in charge.
The two people stayed, and Su Yonglin thought about giving them a pair of eyes so that they would not be deceived.
So he decided to keep a group of Su Yin's intelligence troops to work together on military, political and intelligence aspects to ensure that the rear was not lost.
In addition, Su Yonglin hosted a banquet for guests, relatives and friends at the conference, and within a short period of time, he had a round of drinks and meals with the landowners and gentry in Dongping Mansion who were willing to cooperate with the Shengjie Army. Basically, he got in touch with all the famous people from all over the country. familiar and reached a preliminary willingness to cooperate.
Regardless of whether it works or not, you should always make a gesture to make everyone feel that you are a boss with a good personality who can be contacted directly, rather than someone who coldly refuses to contact you.
This will increase some impression points to some extent, and will also unconsciously improve the political tendencies in the hearts of these relatively independent landlords and gentry.
In this way, if Zhao Kaishan wants to be a shameless person who stabs him in the back, Su Yonglin and Sheng Jiejun will not be helpless to fight back.
Of course, he still hoped that this wouldn't happen.
As brothers, he didn't want to meet Zhao Kaishan in battle so soon.
