Chapter 302: Tactics of Retreat
"Lord Hephaestion, Your Majesty will not allow you to act alone, this is too dangerous!" One of the guards said to Hephaestion.
"Go away!" Hephaestion was a little angry, "Your Majesty Alexander has ordered you to obey my orders!" I now order you to go away! ”
However, the two guards did not go away.
"Lord Hephaestion, Your Majesty has issued a new order!" At this time, another personal guard cavalryman said.
"What?"
Hephaestion looked back and saw a glowing green glow in the distance above Alexander's main formation. That was a signal that had long been agreed within the Macedonian legion.
"Stand still and wait for reinforcements?" Hephaestion recognized the meaning of the signal at a glance.
"Your Majesty, he doesn't believe in my strength like this?" Hephaestion thought about it for a while, but decided to change his mind, "Okay...... Since Your Majesty thinks so, then I will follow Your Majesty's wishes...... But if the other party finds me, then it's no wonder that I ......"
Thinking so, Hephaestion began to order the guards to shrink their defenses, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and before doing so, to avoid unnecessary losses as much as possible.
Hephaestion didn't rush over in the end, which made Qin Zhongyu feel a little surprised.
"What? Are these Macedonian cavalry no longer attacking? Seeing that the other party actually began to retreat, Qin Zhongyu was also a little puzzled.
"No, they're just waiting for reinforcements, so they're just temporarily retreating......," at this time, Ying Zheng, who no longer needed to entangle with the Macedonian cavalry, came over and said, "They probably realized that this little force alone is not enough to eat us...... Instead of constantly consuming us like this, it's better to wait for everyone to be ready and rush over in one go......"
"That's ......"
Not to mention that the three thousand guards cavalry had only reached a small part at present, and when he thought that there were still tens of thousands of troops approaching this side step by step, Qin Zhongyu knew that it was not a way to wait like this.
After all, before Mo Xi arrived, the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to himself, and if the other party completely completed the encirclement, then even if Mo Xi arrived, it was a question of whether the two sides could finally converge.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Zhongyu felt that he absolutely couldn't sit still.
"Although the other side is retreating and waiting for reinforcements, we must not wait here...... Otherwise, when their army arrives, we will have no choice at all......" Qin Zhongyu said to Ying Zheng.
"Oh? Zhong Yu, what can you do? ”
"Kill that man named Hephaestion...... He's the one who now commands Alexander's personal cavalry, as long as he can get rid of him......"
"That's right, that's what I think......"
"Then leave it to me......," Qin Zhongyu said immediately, "The Ptolemy with the shield has already been killed by me...... There's no problem with taking out Hephaestion again. ”
"Absolutely not...... Ying Zheng said firmly, "The other party has already retreated, not to mention Zhong Yu, it is difficult for you to catch up with the other party now, if you continue to pursue, they can use this to separate us, and then break the ...... each"
"What then? Do you have to wait here all the time? ”
"No...... Even if it's a long distance, I have a way...... Anyway, thank you for killing that man called Ptolemy......"
"Attack ...... from a distance"
Compared to Qin Zhongyu, Ying Zheng does have a lot of treasures that can attack from a long distance.
Of course, if you want to say that the most powerful, I'm afraid it is the "Wu Wangfu Poor Spear" that Yingzheng once used!
Thrown in the form of a throw, it has extremely penetrating and destructive power, but the disadvantage is that it can only be used once for a long time, to paraphrase an easy-to-understand phrase - the cooldown time is too long!
Therefore, Ying Zheng will generally only use the "Wu Wangfu Poor Spear" on more important targets, and will try to make sure that he has enough confidence to hit the target before using it.
And now is the right time for Ying Zheng.
Ptolemy, who held the shield of Athena, had died, and the round shield in his original hand had also fallen to the ground, allowing Qin Zhongyu to pick it up.
In this case, although Hephaestion was surrounded by the cavalry of the guards, Ying Zheng confidently believed that the other party had nothing to stop the "Wu Wangfu Poor Spear".
So Ying Zheng unfolded the map of mountains and rivers, and in her hand, the shining "Wu Wangfu Poor Spear" suddenly appeared in her palm.
"Think it's okay to hide behind the cavalry? Hephaestion, since you have destroyed my carriage, be prepared to accept my sanctions! ”
When Ying Zheng threw the "Wu Wangfu Sent Spear", the entire spear turned into a pillar of light and shot straight towards Hephaestion's location!
"Boom!"
The objects that stood in front of the "Wu Wangfu Cha Spear" all turned into nothingness. Whether it is those personal guard cavalry, or the armor they are wearing, they all look so vulnerable in front of the "Wu Wangfu Poor Spear"!
And Hephaestion didn't even have time to react, only to see a flash of light appear in front of his eyes.
"It's ......"
For a moment, when it was enveloped over him, Hephaestion even thought that he was dead, and it was not until Hephaestion completely saw the sudden appearance in front of him that he finally realized that death was just passing by him.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
I don't know when, it was the leader of the Macedonian Empire, Alexander the Great, who was known as the "King of Conquests", who suddenly appeared in front of Hephaestion!
Although he was not a tall man, he had the momentum that was not even lost to Yingzheng, he sat on a tall war horse, holding a golden spear in both hands, and a long knife with a strange pattern at his waist.
The golden spear in Alexander's hand blocked the flash of light that shot at Hephaestion.
"Ahh!!h
Because of the tremendous strength, even a strong man like Alexander, when he was subjected to this flash attack, his entire body was repelled several meters away, along with the war horse.
Then, the flash of light deviated slightly from its original trajectory, and the "Wu Wangfu Chacha Spear", which was supposed to be right in the heart of Hephaestion, now passed past Hephaestion's ear, and after continuing to pass through several Macedonian cavalry, it finally disappeared into the distance of the horizon.
"I'm sorry, Hephaestion, I put you in danger......" It wasn't until he saw that the flash was gone away that Alexander turned back to Hephaestion.
