Su Yonglin was extremely disgusted with these words that were obviously flattering and unrealistic, and he also hated this feeling and this group of people from the bottom of his heart.
He was not exaggerating, but he knew very well that the current Shengjie army was at the end of its strength before it could be rested and replenished.
There is no fighting power anymore.
There are less than 10,000 troops that can be organized to fight again. They are still second-line troops, including the Zhending refugees who were recruited just before. There is no combat effectiveness at all.
Except for Su Jue's White Tiger Regiment who stayed behind in Dongping Mansion, the Second Battalion of the Fourth Regiment who followed Su Yonglin on the expedition were all seriously damaged. Their current strength was less than 40%, and they were completely in a state of residual health.
For such an army, although it is still full of energy, vigor and confidence, its actual combat effectiveness has greatly declined.
For example, it is like the Song army that followed Zhao Guangyi in the Northern Expedition to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty. Although it had accomplished the task of destroying the country, the army's will to fight could still be guaranteed, but it felt quite powerless.
In order to catch him off guard, Zhao Guangyi ignored the fact that the army was exhausted and the morale was low due to not having time to reward the army, and forced the Song army that had just destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty to go north to conquer the Liao Dynasty, in an attempt to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in one go.
The results are of course predictable.
The initial victorious march indeed caught the Liao Kingdom off guard, and they suffered successive defeats. The Song army was unable to find its way to the north.
However, the Liao State was also a big country. After reacting, the Liao Army took advantage of its mobility to launch a counterattack, quickly turning the tide of the war.
Then Zhao Guangyi's donkey cart drifted, and the Song Army, an elite army of many battles, overturned.
Su Yonglin was not willing to imitate the military incompetent Zhao Guangyi. Facing the Jin Kingdom, which had strong military and political power, he had to be cautious and not be reckless, let alone overturn.
The Jin army can fail many times because they can also raise more troops.
And Su Yonglin couldn't afford to lose. He only had an elite force, and it would be gone once the losses were over. He didn't have enough time and strategic space to train a stronger army.
If the Shengjie Army, which is currently in a state of residual health, goes south to attack the four thousand Jin Army cavalry, it is very likely that they will overturn.
Without the elites of the Shengjie Army as the main force, his main force was the powerful armed forces of the landlords, and Sun Tzu Yi's defeated army that had just wiped out half of the elite.
Their combat effectiveness is basically the same as Zhao Kaishan's army that was pressed to the ground by thousands of cavalry. It would be impossible to change the commander because the infrastructure is too different.
If the army cannot fully implement the commander's intention, it will inevitably have discord and conflicts with the commander, and it will definitely fail.
For the Shengjie Army to follow his orders and withstand the charge of the Jin Army's cavalry, Su Yonglin really invested too much into it.
Can not be done.
Su Yonglin was silent for a moment and thought of a way.
Since he couldn't fight directly, he had to use strategies to win. Although he wanted to eliminate these four thousand people, but looking at the current appearance of Shengjie's army, he had to give up this idea.
Use tactics to drive them away.
Now that the strategic advantage is in Su Yonglin's control, the strategy has become so powerful again that it can scare them to death.
Su Yonglin immediately ordered to cut off the heads of all the Jin soldiers they killed and take them across the river to build a Jingguan at the gate of the Jin army camp. The army immediately set up camp and surrounded them three and one missing, scaring them to death.
Don't be afraid of not scaring them away.
On December 25th, the weather became colder and the ice on the river became thicker, which was able to withstand the army's advance above.
Su Yonglin led his troops across the Hutuo River and went south, setting up camp on the north side of the Jin army's camp.
At the same time, Sun Tzu Yi was ecstatic to learn that Su Yonglin had defeated the main force of the Jin Army's cavalry head-on. He immediately arranged troops on the south side of the Jin Army's camp according to Su Yonglin's tactics and set up defenses, so that the Jin Army had only the east side to escape Su Suo. There are no Liberation Army defenses in front.
Then Su Yonglin began to arrange for the army to build the Jingguan, and also placed the battle flag representing the Jin army's general on the top of the Jingguan, which seemed particularly ironic and highly symbolic.
The news was quickly learned by the scouts sent out by Li Jiejie.
Since the beginning of the war, Su Wen, who had been fishing in the water without any intention of making any effort, could not believe his ears.
"The bandit army coming across the river? And Jingguan? And the general's battle flag? Wanyan Alin is finished? How is this possible?"
He opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it at all.
Not long after, the scouts once again brought the news that the Liberation Army had surrounded the Jin Army camp on three sides. This immediately confirmed the fact that Wanyan Alin had been defeated.
As soon as I left Sudden, I felt that the world had become so strange and magical.
Wanyan Alin, who had easily defeated the 60,000 to 70,000 Liberation Army before, was actually defeated, failed, and had so many heads chopped off that it was enough to build the Jingguan.
Is this the real world?
Was he really awake and not dreaming?
He couldn't help but pinch his face, feeling real pain.
Now he finally understood that this was reality, this was what really happened, it was all so real and so unbelievable.
After understanding this, he immediately realized what he should do now.
run.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Once surrounded by the Liberation Army, he will really have no chance at all! He and his army will become part of Jingguan, so...
Run!
He immediately ordered the army to rectify their weapons and equipment and carry necessary items. In the early morning of the 26th, he erected more flags in the military camp and beat drums to prepare for the attack, trying to buy time.
Then he led his troops and ran wildly.
He led the cavalry and fled along the Hutuo River towards Hejian Mansion.
Su Yonglin immediately saw through Lisu Su's plan of pretending to attack but actually trying to escape, and immediately sent more than 500 cavalry who were still able to fight, led by Geng Xingwen, the deputy commander of Huben Camp, to attack the Jin army camp. The army is about to attack.
As a result, the Jin army was even more frightened and ran away desperately.
As a result, there was a collision between people and horses during the escape. Hundreds of people fell to the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead. They were also forced to discard a large amount of baggage that had been loaded into the trucks and was ready to be hauled away together.
The Guangfu Army made loud noises and pretended to attack, but the Jin Army was so frightened that they did not dare to fight Su Yonglin again and ran away decisively.
Su Yonglin commanded the Liberation Army to pretend to pursue for a while, then withdrew his troops and did not continue the pursuit.
Su Yonglin originally thought that this intimidation offensive would not achieve anything, but in the panic of the Jin army, more than 300 people fell to death or injured, and a large amount of food and supplies were discarded, all of which gave Su Yonglin an advantage.
Then Su Yonglin showed his frugal spirit and demolished the Jinjun camp and brought back all the useful things to enrich Shengjiejun's family foundation.
The battle was won in this way. The last elite cavalry of the Jin Army was directly frightened away, and the battle of Zhendingfu was declared victorious.
Later, Su Yonglin and Sun Tzu Yi successfully joined forces to celebrate the victory of this great battle.
Sun Tzu Yi really didn't expect that Su Yonglin could actually defeat the Jin Army cavalry head-on.
When he faced these cavalry, he paid a heavy price with more than 10,000 people killed in battle. He was trapped and unable to move, and could not even switch to the limit, resulting in a very embarrassing casualty ratio.
Su Yonglin defeated this army and killed more than 10,000 people, which was equivalent to avenging him.
What kind of god is Su Yonglin?
Why can you fight so well?
How on earth did he defeat that cavalry?
But none of that matters now because this is what it is.
As soon as his army arrived, the last remaining Jin Army cavalry was scared away, which was enough to prove that Su Yonglin's threat to the Jin Army had reached a certain level.
Admiring his martial arts skills and being grateful for saving lives and taking revenge, Sun Tzu Yi's favorable impression of Su Yonglin immediately exploded. When he saw Su Yonglin, he knelt down to express his surrender.
"I can't repay the general's kindness. From now on, I will march and fight with the general's lead. But if I have doubts, the sky will strike like thunder! I hope the general will accept it!"
Sun Ziyi directly stated that he would follow Su Yonglin and that he would no longer be independent. From now on, he would listen to Su Yonglin.
This statement stunned Su Yonglin, who had never thought about it.
