Chapter 315: Wang Qian's counterattack

As the main forces of the two sides began to approach, Wang Jian soon saw the commander of the second joint square of Macedonia.

It was a middle-aged man wearing an eye patch, wearing ornate Macedonian armor and holding a spear in his hand, sitting on a war horse also clad in battle armor.

"Qin General Wang Jian wants to know who is coming?" Wang Jian asked loudly.

"Commander of the Second United Phalanx under Alexander the Great, Antigonus!"

"Oh, oh......" Wang Jian looked at the other party, but there was no tension on his face, but he persuaded him with some bitterness, "Macedonians, do you really think that you can defeat our 100,000 Qin army with 30,000 people?" I advise you to step down early......"

"For the sake of His Majesty Alexander, we have no hesitation!"

"Oh, okay then......" Wang Jian shook his head helplessly, and then gave a new order.

"The whole army is ready to attack!"

Without hesitation, Wang Jian temporarily gave up continuing to defend, but chose to attack the opponent head-on!

"Husband fights, courage also. One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. He did his best to make money, so he restrained it. ”

Wang Jian said to himself, thinking in his heart that the previous harassment of the Second Macedonian United Phalanx had been defeated many times by himself, and the left army led by himself had always been defending at ease. Therefore, before the official battle, his own morale was strong, but the other party's morale was already low because of repeated harassment and unsuccessful sneak attacks.

Moreover, the second Macedonian united phalanx was seeking a decisive battle at this moment because they had already learned that Alexander had fallen into a crisis, so they had to launch a general attack, which was far less calm than the left army led by Wang Jian in comparison.

In addition, Wang Jian still has an absolute numerical advantage, but unlike when defending, when attacking, the front of the Qin army led by Wang Jian is no longer a crossbowman, but a huge large chariot pulled by four horses!

There are usually three people standing on this type of chariot, one of them driving, one holding a sharp halberd for a close-range attack, and one holding a crossbow to shoot from a distance on the vehicle.

In the era of cold weapons, such a tank was like a heavy tank of that era, a sharp weapon that rushed to the front and could tear through the enemy's formation! With Qin Xuan's long-range attack, Wang Jian believed that he would definitely be able to tear the so-called Macedonian phalanx open a gap that was enough to fight!

Of course, such a tank is not a panacea, and in fact, the use of tanks has very big limitations. For example, due to its poor agility, the vehicle will be very inagile when cornering, and if the enemy tries to dodge, it is likely that the vehicle will not be able to impact the enemy.

Therefore, Wang Jian immediately issued another order.

This time, Wang Jian ordered a flanking attack on the Macedonian Second United Phalanx from the left and right flanks. The purpose of this was not only to storm the opponent's flanks and cause confusion, but also to prevent the opponent's infantry phalanx from maneuvering on the left and right in a large direction. Give the vehicle a chance to smoothly charge into the opponent's formation!

And closely behind the chariots and cavalry were Qin crossbowmen, as well as Qin troops armed with spears of more than six meters. They are the backbone of the final battle!

The two sides are finally starting to get closer.

As Wang Jian expected, at first, because of the numerical superiority, Wang Qian's cavalry troops quickly dispersed the Macedonian cavalry troops and began to raid the flanks of the second Macedonian united phalanx.

The flank part of the second Macedonian united phalanx fell into chaos, but the opponent also showed good combat quality and excellent command ability, and after a short period of confusion, the Macedonian formation remained roughly stable, and there was no large-scale collapse due to the impact of cavalry.

However, in the second wave, the chariots of the Qin army were also killed.

This step was still in Wang Qian's plan, because the left and right flanks were attacked, and when the soldiers of the 2nd Macedonian United Phalanx saw the front of the chariot appearing, they tried to dodge to the left and right, but the result was that they pushed and shoved the troops protecting the flanks on both sides, so that the scene that had begun to be controlled began to become chaotic again.

And at this time, a large number of Qin army arrows shot like an overwhelming rain!

These arrows were fired by soldiers with crossbows at the rear of the chariot, and these arrows passed over the roof of the chariot and landed in the second Macedonian united phalanx, creating even more trouble for the already somewhat chaotic Macedonian phalanx!

The chariot continued to move forward, and the crossbowmen on the chariot also leveled the Qin crossbow in their hands, and they aimed at the enemy, pulling the trigger almost at the same time.

Unlike the infantry crossbowmen who supported them before, most of the Qin crossbowmen on the chariot used the method of flat fire, and their purpose was to concentrate as much as possible on the Macedonian spearmen in the first row!

Another rain of arrows, and this time, the front row of spearmen of the second Macedonian united phalanx fell quite a little in an instant!

"Click, Click, Click......"

It is the sound made when a large number of bodies are crushed. The huge chariot pulled by four horses crushed the crowd like a machine, and the soldiers standing on the chariot also used their halberds to attack the enemies around them condescendingly!

At this moment, the first few rows of the second Macedonian united phalanx began to visibly fall into confusion.

Of course, the Macedonian army still made some effective counterattacks, for example, they attacked the wheels of the chariot with spears, stopped the chariot, and then besieged the opponent and killed the soldiers on the chariot.

Others lost their balance due to the crushing of too many corpses, and they tumbled to the ground, where they were besieged by Macedonian soldiers.

In addition, there are horses pulling chariots or horsemen driving horses who are killed by Macedonian soldiers, and then the chariots are stopped, and they are attacked......

Although, in general, in the course of the battle, the Macedonian soldiers used various methods to stop and destroy the Qin army's chariots, in general, it was too late.

Because everything the soldiers of the Macedonian Second United Phalanx were doing at the expense of their own phalanx's strict formation, although they stopped the chariot, the Macedonian spearmen in the originally neat front row were completely shocked at this moment, and the Qin army in a neat formation rushed over at this moment!

……

At the same time, on the other side of the Qin army's array, Meng Tian also encountered a similar situation.

The Macedonian Third United Phalanx, which had only been harassing all the time, also launched a general offensive.

"The attacks of the Huns can't shake the Qin army, can you do it?" And Meng Tian watched all this from afar, and had already given the order to strictly guard against it.

Except for the cavalry, which was outside to pin down the enemy and wait for an opportunity to attack, the rest of the troops hid behind the chariots to defend.
