"The King's army is coming! The King's army is coming!! ......" a scout cavalryman galloped from afar, shouting repeatedly in Persian and Greek. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The soldiers, who were about to stop and rest, were in a commotion.

"Partichias, are you telling the truth? Artaxerxes is really here?! Seeing the cavalry who had just jumped off his horse, little Cyrus asked impatiently on his horse.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. Artaxerxes is coming! Altagses is also here! And that ...... Damn Tisa Fonis is here too!! Patticias gasped and said in a hoarse voice.

"Very well, my friend! Very good! He's finally here!! Cyrus the Younger jumped off his horse excitedly, and while asking his servants to put on his breastplate, he shouted to his lieutenant Arilius: "Inform the whole army, prepare for battle!!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Arilius hurriedly called out to the heralds: "Inform the Greeks at once and quickly line up on our right flank!" Get ready for battle! ”

The herald galloped away.

And Arilius called the Persian generals. Cyrus the Younger had them lead his soldiers on his left flank, while he himself led eight hundred cavalry in the center.

The attentive Altapatus asked, "How many enemies are there?" ”

"About sixty thousand...... Or eighty thousand,......" Particchias recalled what he had seen, a little more daunting on his face.

"So many people!!" The attendants exclaimed, their faces frightened.

"Haha! Are you scared? My friend. Little Cyrus stepped forward and gave Patticchias a strong hug, not disgusting his dusty and sweaty body. Then, turning around and getting on his horse, he shouted to the surroundings: "Friends, are you scared?!" ”

Of course, the followers and guards of Cyrus the Younger expressed their bravery.

"Artaxerxes, even if he has more soldiers, he is still the cowardly Artaxerxes! Don't forget, a beagle can scare him into peeing! Little Cyrus's vulgar words caused a burst of laughter around him.

"And I have you! And my army! Together, we defeated the mighty Athens! The Athens that has repeatedly defeated our Persia! With each glance of little Cyrus, the man straightened his chest.

"We still have brave Greeks! They fight side by side with us! Cyrus the Younger looked to the right—where the Greek heavy infantry began to form slowly. Seeing this, he was full of confidence: "We can't resist!" We are invincible!! ”

"Wan Sheng!" Altapatus shouted first, and then everyone scrambled to shout: "Wan win!!" ”

In the face of high morale, little Cyrus raised his right hand: "Friends! Warriors! After this victory, I swear to the Supreme God Mazda that I will do my best to repay your friendship and dedication!! ”

"CYRUS, THEGREAT!!" I don't know who shouted. Immediately, like a flash flood, the shouts were like a tide.

…………………

"Hey, Mattonis. Is there a situation? Davers couldn't help but tapped the warrior in front of him on the shoulder again.

"How many times have you asked! No! No! Mattonis wiped his sweaty neck with his free left hand and cried out irritably, "Why hasn't the enemy come yet?" The sun is right in the sky! Wait any longer, and I'll be scorched by its flames! ”

"Mattonis, I don't want to smell your meat, even if it's cooked. During this time, I wanted to vomit after eating meat. A soldier next to him said with a flamboyant tongue, causing the soldiers to burst into laughter.

"Shut up! Olivers, you one, if you want me to put your hand in your mouth and let you taste the meat on your own body, you go on! Mattonis waved his strong arm and threatened viciously.

"Oops, I'm so scared!" Oliver feigned fear, causing another burst of laughter.

"Stand still, don't make a fuss! Menon is coming! As soon as Shilos finished speaking, a sharp voice was heard: "Stinky boys, what do you think this is!" Do you have banquet seats? ”

A well-proportioned warrior with a red hat trimmed on his helmet stood in front of the phalanx, pointed at them and scolded: "This is the battlefield! If you don't give it your all, then Hades will be happy to visit you! ”

"Rotten Menon of the mouth!" Someone shouted in the ranks.

"Who said that?! Stand up for me!! Everyone laughed and gloated as Meron jumped in front of him and shouted angrily.

At this time, someone shouted: "Look, ahead!! ”

The soldiers then looked ahead. Soon, the smile on his face was quickly replaced by horror.

As far as the eye can see, smoke rises from the sky, enveloping hills, trees, and houses, and it is gray.

After a few moments, a thin black line drilled out the smoke and began to stretch to the sides, gradually thickening......

A moment later, when the soldiers could barely see the silhouette of the enemy, countless lights began to dazzle in the dazzling sunlight.

Armor, spears, shields...... The cold light emitted is like the boundless Milky Way in the night sky; The sound of footsteps, shouts, and neighing of horses converged into a rolling wave that made the earth tremble, let alone the legs of men.

Just when Oliver felt like he was about to fall, he heard Shilos shouting, "Prepare for battle!" ”

"Prepare for battle!!"

"Ready to fight!!"

The Greek mercenary warriors put on their helmets, removed their round shields from their left shoulders, held their bayonet guns, and began to beat their shields.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ......" The loud noise made Oliver and the other warriors realize that they were also in a powerful position, and their mood gradually calmed down.

……………………

The army of the king of Persia continued to advance slowly but in order: the chariots were at the front, followed by unarmored archers, then light cavalry, and at the rear were infantry with long shields and spears and rattan shields. The heavy cavalry was divided into two parts, one part was the Persian king; Some were deployed on the far left flank of the formation......

The mighty Persian army was like a thick cloud in the sky before a storm, slowly pressing down and suffocating.

……………………

At this moment, Cyrus the Younger, with a few retinues, galloped along the military formation, left and right, giving instructions to each of the Greek mercenary leaders......

With constant cheers, he had reached the far right end of the Greek array, and could even see the roaring Euphrates not far away.

"Salute to you, Your Highness!" Clearchus gave a military salute.

Cyrus the Younger looked down at the Greek he trusted the most, pointed to the location of the Persian king's army, and said, "When the battle begins, I want you to lead your men straight to the center of the enemy." Crush Artaxerxes, victory in this battle is sure to be ours! ”
