Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 570 Respect your heart and ask God's will
For the Central Republic of China, the battle between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin was not a concern of the people of the Republic of China. On the contrary, it was Gao Chong who led the army to the Xixia Kingdom, and the frequent battle reports sent back, which moved the people of the Central Republic of China.

In fact, Liu Wei gave Gao Chong not many soldiers and horses, 2 people, plus a team of 10 artillery pieces and [-] artillerymen.In this era, when [-] people are fighting at every turn, a man like Gao Chong is nothing at all.

When they first noticed the movement of Gao Chong, the Xixia Kingdom didn't take it to heart at all. In their view, this was just a prelude to a decisive battle. Some generals even thought that unless it was a battle between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Central Republic of China. Things have come to a decision, otherwise the Central Republic of China will never launch a full-scale attack on Xixia.

Yes, from a normal situation, it is obviously unreasonable for anyone to launch a battle to destroy the country with only more than 2 horses.

In terms of common sense, the establishment of the Central Republic of China has never been in line with common sense, just because the high-level officials of the Xixia Kingdom did not seriously understand the Central Republic of China, a power that rose in a small place in Bashu.

Once, a long time ago, Lin Yingying reminded the emperor of the Xixia Kingdom not to underestimate Liu Wei, but at that time, in the eyes of the Xixia court, Wang Chongyang was more important than Liu Wei.Later, when the Central Republic of China began to rise, it never used troops against the Xixia Kingdom. Even when fighting against Tubo and the Southern Song Dynasty, no matter how wonderful the fight was, the generals of Xixia did not have intuitive feelings. Military strength is too exaggerated.

However, when they sent 5 people to fight against the 2 people led by Gao Chong, the thought of underestimating the enemy made them suffer a big loss.

The first battle was at the junction of the two countries. Because he was dragging thirty cannons, Gao Chong did not emphasize the speed of the team's advance. For the opportunity to set up the formation, the two sides formed a formation on a plain. It should be said that this is a very fair duel. The only unfair thing is that Xixia has [-] elites, and the number of soldiers on Gao Chong's side is obviously less than other side.

From the point of view of the Xixia generals, the army of the Central Republic of China, led by Gao Chong, felt that it had no combat effectiveness at all. Whether it was the infantry in the front or the cavalry on the two wings, the formation was sparse, and it didn't look neat enough at all.

In this era, the formation of the army, especially when the two sides are facing each other, is often a dense formation, especially when both sides have both infantry and cavalry. If the infantry formation is not dense enough, once it is loose, it is easy to be defeated. The speed-increased cavalry rushed in, and finally easily broke up the infantry formation, causing huge damage.

As for the infantry formation that Gao Chong set up at this time, the gap between the soldiers is enough for two soldiers to pass through side by side. In the eyes of those Xixia generals, this seems to be a joke. Such a big gap, once encountered How to resist the cavalry?

I have to say that just watching the formation of the Central Republic of China made the generals of Xixia laugh out loud!What a weird general to use such an idiotic formation, and what kind of lethality does such a formation have?
It seems that pulling out a team of 5 people to deal with it is really a bit of a fuss. Perhaps a cavalry team of 1 people can easily kill this cavalry.

With Gao Chong's eyesight, at this distance where the two sides are facing each other, they can barely see the expression on the opponent's general's face clearly, especially the disdain, the raised corners of the mouth and the raised eyebrows, which are easy to distinguish.

Gao Chong knew what the Xixia generals were thinking, but he didn't care. Maybe it would be better. After a while, the generals would learn more profound lessons.

Soon, amidst the thunderous battle drums on both sides, the Xixia army launched the attack first.

I don't know if it's because of defending the country, or because of the psychological feeling that they have already won, so Xixia generals took the initiative to attack without worry, and even many generals dared to take the lead, as if the enemy in front of them were rows of tree stumps As long as you chop it off, it will be a military achievement in your hands!
Looking at the movements of the Xixia people, Gao Chong just sneered in his heart.Even though the Xixia cavalry team had already started to charge, Gao Chong still did not panic. He was at the forefront of the team. If the Xixia cavalry charged over, Gao Chong might be the first to bear the attack. As the chief general, it should be said that Gao Chong Chong's move is the greatest affirmation of his team.

When the Xixia army rushed halfway, Gao Chong slowly gave the order for the Musketeers to prepare.

In fact, the soldiers were already ready, just waiting for Gao Chong's order!

For the Xixia people, firearms are a completely new thing. Some of the high-level generals have heard of firearms. As for the ordinary soldiers below the middle-level generals, I am afraid that most of them do not know the existence of firearms at all.

"Fire!"

In this battle, Gao Chong did not line up artillery, just because in his opinion, if artillery was to be used in the first battle, then there would be no need to fight the subsequent battles.

"boom!"

At the beginning, the sound of musket shooting was covered by the thunderous hoofbeats of the Xixia cavalry as they charged.Therefore, from the Xixia army's point of view, it seemed that they only saw a puff of smoke rising from the soldiers squatting in the front row of Liu's army, followed by their own soldiers falling down in a row!
"witchcraft!"

For some Xixia soldiers who were lucky enough not to be shot, the first reaction in their minds after seeing their comrades fell down was that Liu Jiajun had used black magic!

"It's a firearm!"

Fortunately, there are still some well-informed people in the Xixia Army, who have heard about the sharpness of Liu Jiajun's firearms, but in their eyes, firearms, a magical thing that has not been popularized by the entire army of the Song and Jin Kingdoms, are mere ones. How can Liu Jiajun get it out?Not to mention taking out your own trump card at the beginning of the battle, right?
It has to be said that this gap in cognition caused the Xixia army to suffer a great loss in this battle!
The cavalry had already sprinted, and it was impossible to hold back their footsteps. On the other hand, the loose formation of the infantry on Liu's side showed an unexpected effect for the Xixia people-the wide gap between soldiers, It is enough for the soldiers in the front row who fired the gun to retreat easily, and they can also reload while retreating. In other words, the entire infantry formation of Liu Jiajun is actually retreating continuously, and this retreat is very orderly. Neat and efficient!
In this way, it can be ensured that the muskets in the front two rows can have a wide enough line of sight and shooting angle to aim at the incoming Xixia cavalry and shoot, and the continuous change of formation will make the gunshots from Liu Jiajun's side gradually increase. Become continuous and rhythmic!

Amidst the continuous gunfire, more and more Xixia cavalrymen were shot and fell to the ground!The cavalry who fell one after another not only brought a huge shock to the hearts of Xixia soldiers, but those people and horses who fell frequently also formed obstacles to the cavalry's advancement, which made their advancement speed continue to decline. It's not far away, but it's still out of reach!
However, the continuous retreat of Liu Jiajun's infantry highlighted the cavalry on both wings!
Just as the Xixia cavalry crossed the middle line of the two armies with difficulty and gradually narrowed the distance with the infantry of the Liu family army, Gao Chong ordered the cavalry on both wings to attack!
It stands to reason that at this time Gao Chong should order the two-winged cavalry to attack the Xixia cavalry to slow down the Xixia cavalry's marching speed, so as to prevent the infantry from being attacked and scattered. Shoot the Xixia cavalry, otherwise you may hurt your own family.

If Gao Chong really uses troops as the Xixia people guessed, then he is not Gao Chong!

Gao Chong, who was sitting on the back of the divine horse, took off the tiger-headed golden spear hanging on the victory hook, took the lead, and led the left-wing cavalry. The momentum turned out to be something that wanted to rush to the end!
"This high pet is too arrogant!"

Although the morale of the entire Xixia army has plummeted because of the sharp firearms of the Liu family army, in fact, the number of soldiers and horses lost in the battle so far is not too much. The continuous cavalry can still rush to the infantry formation of the Liu family army and start killing!

In particular, Gao Chong was so insolent that he didn't need the two-winged cavalry to assist in the defense, but instead wanted to attack the Xixia army's main formation. From a tactical point of view, it was like trying to die!
"Stop him!"

"Stop him!"

The Xixia people did not have sharp firearms, and their infantry began to shoot arrows. However, the shortcomings of Yujian were destined to be unable to pose a threat to a fierce general like Gao Chong. Just using the weapon in his hand, he could easily block Yujian. As for Speaking of those personal guards who followed Gao Chong, they may not be as powerful as Gao Chong, but they raised huge shields one after another, making the feather arrows released by the Xixia Army useless!
In fact, the cavalry behind Gao Chong, counting his personal soldiers, only had three thousand cavalry!More importantly, among the [-] cavalry, only his [-] personal guards were the ones who really used cold weapons, and the rest were still musketeers!

However, Gao Chong has this confidence!When the cavalry team with him as the arrow enters the Xixia army's main formation, it will definitely tear the Xixia army apart. Once the Xixia army loses morale and dare not besiege the cavalry led by Gao Chong, then the muskets that followed the five hundred guards Soldiers can aim and shoot leisurely on horseback, just like they have done in thousands of drills, treating Xixia soldiers as moving targets one by one!

This kind of tactics is rooted in the strength and belief of the leading general himself. It just so happens that Gao Chong is such a general!

"Kill!" The enemy is close at hand, Gao Chong's eyes are red, and the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand is already hungry and thirsty!
