When asked this question, everyone's expression was not right.

Everyone is talking about how to win, how did you start to think about defeat?

Don't be afraid of bad luck?

but……

What he said may not be unreasonable.

The effective way for infantry to fight cavalry is easy to understand. Either the formation of chariots or soldiers gather in intensive formations, or they should build obstacles first to ensure the restriction of the opponent's charge kinetic energy.

In addition, there are three major requirements.

First, we must ensure a certain discipline and morale to maintain the formation. Soldiers must not go out of the formation, nor should they be afraid of the impact of cavalry and easily disintegrate.

Second, multi-faceted defense is needed to ensure that the flanks cannot leave fragile surfaces, and only the front and not the side.

Third, it is necessary to ensure the output of advantageous long-range firepower. There must be no shield soldiers and spearmen but no crossbowmen. The military formation is a pure target, and the archers will kill this military formation.

Among these three requirements, the latter two can be achieved at present.

The first one is really fine if no one dares to say it.

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

The Shengjie Army has only been in the army for three months, and its training is very limited. Facing the weaker and worse than them, the town defense army can win, but if it meets the regular army of the Jin army...

The officers looked at me and I looked at you, and then looked 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. Indeed, the days are still short. Almost all recruits have not been completed in regular training. I know all these disadvantages. However, we are rebelling, we have no time, and we have no choice."

Su Yonglin patted Wei Kexian on the shoulder.

"Kexian, you are right, you are ready. We must be able to win. If we can't win, everything will be over. But we have no other way to go. Either win or die. I and you will die together.

We will all die on the battlefield, beheaded by the Jin thieves, and the head may be built into Jingguan to warn future generations. Our family and friends will also be slaughtered. All those who support us will be baptized and everything we have established will be shattered."

Su Yonglin turned his attention to everyone again.

"Including our thoughts of overthrowing Jinting and snatching back the Central Plains to establish a country without exploitation and oppression, they will become a bubble and no longer exist."

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

"But this is also the only way for us to realize this thought."

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

"What we choose is a path that will inevitably die besides the final victory. In addition to winning, it is death. This time, this Jin army is the first dangerous opponent we face. If we win by chance, there will be countless dangers to meet us.

Ten thousand gold troops are nothing at all. There may be 20,000 to 30,000, 50,000, or even hundreds of thousands of gold troops. That is what we must face. We must win, not lose, and if we lose, we will die. You guys, we have no choice."

Su Yonglin's words were like heavy rocks hitting the officers' hearts, making them feel extremely heavy.

But Su Yonglin quickly raised his fist hand again.

"This road is true, not only winning or dying, that's right, but everyone, does this prove that we can just win?"

The officers raised their heads and looked at Su Yonglin with surprise.

"As long as we win, we can achieve our goal. Everyone has land to cultivate. No bullies and evil gentry will force farmers' land to occupy farmers' land. There will be no corrupt officials who will pay the tax at will, so that farmers can't even sell their children and daughters.

The farmers will not go bankrupt in a good year, and the farmers who only have a few acres of thin fields will not be counted as wealthy families to pay a large amount of taxes. We can calculate the general account for the sins committed by the Jin Dynasty and Song State, so that all those who commit sins will pay the price for this!

I know you have not forgotten who ruined your family and went on the path of today. I believe that if possible, you would rather live a peaceful life with your family without everything you have now, but there is no possibility.

As long as those top-notch people are still there, they can still do whatever they want, and no one can think of living a stable life for the rest of their lives. So, hold the knife in their hands tightly, firmly believe, fight to the death, and never retreat! This is our only way to live!"

Su Yonglin took a deep breath, strengthened his tone, and said heavily: "Get out a bloody path!"

The officers' breathing became rapid.

"Try out a bloody path!"

They spoke in unison.

The officers of the Shengjie Army were all from poor peasants, all from the bottom of society, and were all cruelly exploited when they were hungry, frozen and cruelly exploited.

Living such a stalemate, he was later admitted to the private salt group by the Su family and barely lived a good life for a few days, but losing the land, the pain of his family could not be changed overnight.

The pain of being unable to resist after being oppressed has been deeply impressed by Su Yonglin's systematic explanation, allowing them to know that it is useless to just kill one or two corrupt officials to avenge their personal revenge.

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

And this requires absolute military advantage.

If we cannot gain an absolute military advantage and cannot suppress the world, there is no way to talk about a comprehensive liquidation.

Then how can you take revenge?

Therefore, there seem to be many roads in front of them, but in fact, none of them can be done, so they can only fight for a bloody path!

At the bonfire meeting that night, the entire army conveyed Su Yonglin's will from top to bottom. The officers conveyed Su Yonglin's speech to the soldiers, so that the soldiers could also know the actual situation of the current Shengjie Army.

It is normal to be afraid, but everyone will be afraid.

But as rebels, they do not have the right or qualification to escape after being afraid. They can only choose to muster up the courage to resist after being afraid.

The cruelest thing in this world is that it seems that there are many choices, but almost every choice has prerequisites. Of course, there are prerequisites, but most people don’t really want to choose that kind of choice.

Both Su Yonglin and Shengjie Army had only one choice - to fight for a bloody path.

The morale of the entire army was completely united and fought for a common goal.

After the instructions were conveyed, the Shengjie Army began to act with extremely fast speed and extremely high efficiency.

While collecting enough ships, sand, and stones to sink the ship, people were sent to continue to move forward, and the Jin army's marching speed and marching position were determined at all times to ensure that tactical implementation could work.

On the other hand, Su Yonglin also sent someone to tell Sun Ziyi and Zhao Kaishan the specific news, so that they could prepare mentally and materially for the possible large-scale counterattack of the Jin army.

Zhao Kaishan has the most manpower and material resources of the entire Restoration Army. If you cannot fight against the Jin army alone, it is better to perish as soon as possible.

Su Yonglin himself was weak and worried that he would not be able to fight and win, so he decided to leave a way out for himself. If he really couldn't beat him, he would take his remaining troops to surrender to Sun Ziyi.

Turning into the wind is his last path.

Despite this, as long as there is still a slight chance of defeating, he will have to put in a million efforts.

Collecting ships is not easy, but as long as you pay, everything is easy to negotiate.

Su Yonglin used the military expenses of the Shengjie Army to buy ships from merchants and fishermen in Tai'an Prefecture, and prepared a large amount of sandbags, soil and stones to sink with the ship.

Just in case, the blocking river channel should be slightly larger and the scope should be wider, so that the Jin people should not be cleaned up so easily.

In short, all methods to increase the winning rate must be used.

Because there are too many things to do, there is not enough army.

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

With the help of the farmers' association, the young and old men and women in the new countryside who can escape from the ground and exert their strength will be willing to call and help, to help the victorious army and to their own army.

There were even many farmers' association cadres in the village who took the initiative to ask Su Yonglin whether they would come forward to help during the war.

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

It seems that the friendship between the military and civilians 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 necessary, I will definitely propose it, but it is still not necessary at the moment. Once the war begins, the front-line battle will be handed over to the Shengjie Army. The elders are still waiting in a safe place. Even if I fight for this life, I will never let the Jin thieves poison Tai'anzhou!"

Su Yonglin's statement made many old farmers cry. He held Su Yonglin's hand and wished him a brilliant victory.

Labor is no longer a problem.

The rear is no longer a problem.

Shengjie Army received the best logistical support.

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

As long as you act quickly, you can take the initiative in the war, you can actively choose the battlefield, set the battlefield, and prepare in advance.

The Jin army was obviously not as fast as the win-win Jet army.

So Su Yonglin successfully led his men out of Tai'an Prefecture and went west along Wenshui to find a suitable place to start the war.

He led a group of officers along the Wenshui River and visited the site to find the most favorable terrain for the Shengjie Army.

While walking, he taught his own experiences.

"My grandfather once told me that when the Yue family army marched and fought, they always could predict the enemy first. There are two main reasons. The first is that General Yue is very good at developing informants in the Jin Dynasty. The informants always provide him with important information to let him know the direction of the Jin army's marching.

The second thing is that General Yue always uses his advantages to choose the battlefield as much as possible, drag the Jin soldiers to the battlefield he has already arranged, and then fight the Jin soldiers to increase the winning rate. These are two characteristics of the Yue family army fighting.

And we must also learn the advantages of these Yue Family Army, actively search for intelligence, understand the enemy's trends, use this time to prepare at the fastest speed, find a battlefield that is beneficial to us, and lure the enemy to fight to the decisive battle."

Su Yonglin said while looking for a suitable battlefield along the river bank.

After walking a long way, he found a battlefield that meets his psychological expectations.

According to his prediction, since the Jin army had decided to march along the Wenshui River, they would basically march along the Wenshui River along the way.
