Although the preparation time before the battle was very sparse, Su Yonglin still gathered almost all the arrows, divine arm bows, and powerful crossbows for this battle, and even brought in the rarely used bed crossbow.
It can be said that the entire Shengjie Army's military formation is now a mobile armory. He has brought all the weapons and equipment that can be carried and used them on the spot.
Not only that, he also prepared all the meat for the army. A group of people from Huotou Camp were put into the military formation to prepare hot food on site for emergency consumption by the soldiers.
Before the final battle, Su Yonglin arranged for the soldiers to take turns going into battle and taking turns to rest and eat to maintain their physical strength.
He was ready for this battle to last from dawn to dusk.
The same must be true for the Jin Army.
Now it's a matter of fighting for physical strength, endurance, and concentration on both sides, to see who can't hold on first, and who reveals flaws first.
Su Yonglin was indeed a little anxious, because he very much hoped that the Jin Army would launch a large-scale charge as soon as possible, so that he could engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Jin Army and kill the Jin Army to the maximum extent.
Wanyan Alin was also a little anxious. He very much hoped that the Victory Army would reveal its flaws, so that he could let the armored cavalry launch a rapid sprint, so that he could end the war as soon as possible, and even the liberation army uprising.
And if it continues...
He was really worried about running out of arrows.
If the arrows run out, the situation will be very embarrassing.
They had obviously surrounded the opponent, but they were unable to kill them more, and had to pay a huge price to rush into the formation.
Wanyan Ali regretted very much that he could not bring some infantry troops to join the battle. If he did, he could at least fight head-on while outflanking them with cavalry, and the effect would definitely be better.
Seeing that the Jin army had made thirteen charges but still could not shake the Shengjie army's formation, Wanyan Alin was really anxious.
The number of casualties is increasing, and more and more horses are injured and dead. The cost of this battle has exceeded his inner expectations. If he continues to fight, even if he can win in the end, from the economic cost point of view, this is a battle. defeat.
The opponent's losses were all infantry, while what he lost were elite cavalry and war horses. The comparison of losses was simply unsightly. If the people in charge of finance were strong enough, they would definitely tear off their heads.
No, we cannot continue like this. War horses are too expensive and cannot continue to be wasted.
After being in a dilemma, Wanyan Alin made a decision.
He wanted some of the cavalry to dismount and become infantry, attack the victorious army's formation in the same way, fight with it, attract a large number of the victorious army's melee forces, and then create opportunities for the cavalry to outflank and the heavy cavalry to charge into the formation.
As long as the main force of the Victory Army can be pinned head-on, the cavalry can be used to attack the flanks of the Victory Army, thereby having a greater chance of breaking through the gap and defeating the Victory Army in one fell swoop!
That's all for now.
Wanyan Alin immediately passed on the order and ordered five thousand cavalry to be mobilized to dismount, turn into infantry, form a military formation and attack the Shengjie Army's military formation.
After receiving the order, the Jin Army quickly arranged the matter. After a while of arrangements, more and more cavalry got off their horses and formed a formation, holding long spears or machetes, and they were menacing.
Being a cavalry does not mean that he does not have the combat skills of an infantry. It can even be said that his body is stronger, his combat effectiveness is relatively stronger, and his momentum is definitely better than those of the infantry.
And they also have armor and even shields. After a little reorganization, they can become a good heavy infantry regiment with very impressive combat effectiveness.
In the general army order, front-line melee soldiers have the lowest status, while technical units such as cavalry and crossbowmen have a very high status, are better fed and clothed, and are physically stronger, so they often look down on those melee soldiers.
It can be said that as long as they encounter an infantry that is not that powerful, the cavalry can win even without horses.
But the question is, isn’t Shengjie’s army strong?
I'm afraid Jin Jun doesn't quite understand what professionalism is.
Seeing that the Jin army actually used the infantry formation to deal with him, Su Yonglin felt happy.
He realized that the resolute counterattack of the Shengjie Army had caused great damage to the Jin Army, so much so that the Jin Army general judged that he could not bear the cost of continuing to lose cavalry and horses.
Of course, the more important thing is the war horse.
The war horses were far more valuable than the soldiers themselves, so the Jin Army General chose to preserve the war horses and let the cavalry serve as an infantry unit in the battle.
This is huge good news, it means that the leader of the Jin Army really wants to fight him to the death.
That's fine. As long as they don't retreat, don't run, and don't wait for the river to freeze, then he has hope of winning, and has the hope of completely defeating them at the limit.
He immediately passed on the order and ordered the front-line melee troops to brace themselves.
The big one is coming.
At the same time, he called Xin Qiji to his side and asked Xin Qiji to take the Red Ax Battalion to prepare for battle.
"Will the golden thief charge into battle with heavy armored cavalry?"
Xin Qiji was a little confused.
Su Yonglin nodded.
"Since they are ready to use infantry, it means that the Jin Army General believes that traditional cavalry tactics can no longer successfully break our military formation, and they cannot afford the loss, so they decided to use infantry.
The infantry can compete with us head-on. At this time, the cavalry will turn to auxiliary wings, outflank our army from the sides and rear, and coordinate the infantry's attack, so that our army has to be distracted, dealing with the cavalry on one side and the infantry on the other.
And if at this time, when our army is trying to cope with two things, the Golden Thief suddenly deploys powerful heavy cavalry to charge at a certain position, do you think our army can respond appropriately and block their charge? What about the array? "
Xin Qiji thought for a while and felt that Su Yonglin's concerns were reasonable.
"So, the general wants me to take the Red Ax Battalion and be ready to fight against the Jin Army's armored cavalry at any time?"
"That's why I spent so much money training you."
Su Yonglin patted Xin Qiji on the shoulder: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a moment to deploy it. You three hundred men will be the most important elite for our army to achieve complete victory. Your performance can even dominate the trend of the entire battlefield!"
Xin Qiji suddenly felt a huge responsibility.
He nodded seriously.
"General Meng has so much trust, how can he not repay Qiji with death?"
After saying that, Xin Qiji performed a military salute, turned around and left.
"You'an!"
Su Yonglin suddenly called out to Xin Qiji.
Xin Qiji turned around.
"I trust you."
Su Yonglin smiled at him.
Xin Qiji was silent for a while and then smiled.
"My subordinates will do their best!"
Then Xin Qiji turned around and walked away quickly, quickly disappearing from Su Yonglin's sight and being obscured by other hurried soldiers.
Su Yonglin withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Yong, who was by his side at the end.
"Everyone has gone to the front line and is ready to fight to the death. Only you and I are still here."
Su Yonglin smiled and patted Su Yong on the shoulder.
Su Yong smiled naively.
"Alang, if you give the order, I will lead the Huben camp to fight to the death."
"Of course, but when you need to fight to the death, it is also the time for me to fight to the death. Ayong, you have been following me for so many years, and I have said that I want to die many times, but I have never succeeded. But this time, maybe it is true. dying."
"That doesn't matter, my life is worth it if I can die with A Lang."
Su Yong beat his thick chest: "I, Su Yong, was just a beggar who was about to starve to death. Without Alang to save me, I would have died a long time ago. Alang gave me this life. Whenever Alang wanted it, I will give it and I will never refuse.”
"As long as there is hope, please take pictures of me and live well!"
Su Yonglin patted Su Yong's head: "I saved you just to keep you alive. Remember, you have a name. Your name is Su Yong. You are the commander of Huben Camp. Don't die for me. If you must die, you must die for our thoughts.”
Su Yong stared at Su Yonglin blankly for a long time, then showed a naive smile and shook his head.
"Alang, I'm stupid. I don't understand so many principles. You told me a lot. I still don't understand it, but I know you definitely understand it, so I told myself that I will listen to you. I'll do whatever you say, so that's okay, right?"
"What if I die?"
Su Yonglin laughed angrily: "After teaching you for so many years, you are now telling me that you don't understand anything? Of course you can listen to me now, but what will you do if I die in front of you? Who do you listen to? What to do?"
