Chapter Eighty-Three: The Battle of Gaugamela

Alexander once again gave a speech to the whole army before the battle, and he could even call out the names of each soldier in the first few rows to motivate him to fight one by one.

The two armies gradually approached.

Darius and his forward troops are already in my mind.

The Polish royal golden apple spearmen, Indian troops, Albernian troops, and Madian archers aimed at Alexander's right flank.

The friendly cavalry was behind the royal squadron on the right flank, and Alexander and the friendly cavalry left their original position under the cover of the royal squadron and moved to the right.

The Macedonian royal squadron in front was already fighting with the Polish Scythian cavalry, and due to the opponent's numerical superiority, the royal squadron continued to fall.

Mo Jiu and General Parmanuel stared at the battlefield tightly, everyone was not overly worried about the temporary defeat of the front army, and believed that the commander would figure out a way.

At this time, Alexander continued to move to the right with his friendly cavalry, although the surroundings had been killed, but Alexander was still looking for the best opportunity to get off, Darius sitting on the luxury chariot had blazing eyes, staring at the changes in the situation on the battlefield, and the battle between the two armies was a contest of wisdom between the commanders of all sides.

Alexander moved fast, almost outpacing the left flank of the Polish army, and he neither engaged nor retreated, turning back and forth on the battlefield, and this unconventional move made Darius's nerves tense.

The other party is stretching the battle line, and if it is not intercepted, I am afraid that it will be surpassed; If you go to intercept, it will disrupt the formation of the phalanx.

Alexander was extremely patient in repeatedly moving to the right to look for opportunities, and the cavalry of his allies was the main force of the legion, and he must find the best time to engage in battle to avoid innocent damage; Like Darius's undead army, he was always cautiously preparing for battle on the right and left of the king of Persia, but did not attack.

At the same time, due to the bloody battle of the Macedonian royal squadron, it withstood the offensive of the opponent's large number of cavalry, so Persia sent a chariot and rushed towards the Greek legion, the left and right flanks of the Greek legion moved together, and the archers and spearmen in front attacked the chariot together, and the Persian chariot had lost more than half of it without rushing into the phalanx, and the few chariots that rushed through the blockade and entered the phalanx were also booby-trapped by the next infantry phalanx, and the chariot did not play any role.

But the Polish army was outnumbered, and Darius continued to send his cavalry on his right flank to pounce on the Greek army.

Alexander's cavalry has formed a situation of overpower, Darius finally couldn't bear to be busy and ordered the undead army next to him to intercept Alexander's friendly cavalry on the left flank, seeing that Alexander, who jumped out of the battle team to intercept his own cavalry, did not directly hand over with the undead army, but turned his horse's head and continued to move to the right, so that Alexander stretched the forward front line of the Polish army longer, Alexander closely observed the changes in the opponent's camp, and the previous strict phalanx of the Polish army had become slightly loose.

Alexander slowed his movements, and the Polish undead overtook the situation, slowly overtaking Alexander's friendly cavalry on the right flank, and was about to surround the Greek legions.

At the same time, Alexander finally found the right moment, ordered the cavalry to turn the horse's head 160 times, and rushed towards the gap in the middle of the wave in a wedge-shaped formation, and launched a fatal blow that would determine the outcome of the entire battle.

The Polish undead army in charge of intercepting Alexander was just about to turn their horses to intercept it, and the light infantry hiding behind the cavalry of their friends pinned down the undead army at great speed, and they attacked the opposing cavalry with catapults, bows and arrows, and javelins.

The cavalry of the group broke into the main camp of the opposing party, and the two sides entered hand-to-hand combat, and the general of the group quickly eliminated the guards around Darius with a hundred friends, and the infantry phalanx in the rear saw the shining helmet worn by their commander from a distance, and the white feathers on his head were constantly jumping.

The infantrymen saw that His Majesty had entered the enemy camp, and quickly broke through the barrier of the Polish army and pressed towards the main camp of the Polish army. The infantry phalanx played a huge role in his form, and the rigorous formation, like Lin's spear, stabbed the Polish army fiercely.

Darius sat on his chariot and saw Alexander, who was coming at him, and was so frightened that he turned his horse's head and ran away desperately.

The commander fled, and the Polish army had no intention of fighting and retreated.

Alexander and his fellow cavalry pursued the fleeing Darius.

Mo Jiu stared at the battle situation ahead without blinking, except that Alexander Jiu'er was still paying attention to Seleucus's safety, Seleucus had been rushing to the most dangerous place by His Majesty's side, but fortunately he was not injured so far.

I only cared about others, but I didn't even notice the danger around me, I don't know when the undead army and the Indian troops that overtook the Greek legion had overtaken the right flank of the Greek army to the left flank, and even passed through the double defense line to the logistics baggage troops.

God, the logistics troops have no combat weapons, when did they pass, why didn't Jiu'er find out.

This Darius, the battle was not over, he ran first, if he had one-tenth of His Majesty's bravery, it was really not certain who would win and who would lose today.

The undead army under his command was very powerful, and they arrived at the logistics unit with great speed, and they must not have known that their king had fled.

"General Parmanuelle!"

Mo Jiu shouted vigorously, "Immortal Army! It's time to enter the logistics force! ”

Parmanuel looked back, the old general heard the content of the Nine Daughters of Mermer's shout, and loudly ordered the troops to turn their horses and support backwards, the left flank troops in front were fighting with the Persian right flank, and Parmanuel had to take the second line of reserve cavalry to rescue the logistics troops.

At this time, the Persian right flank defeated the Greek left flank and went straight to the logistical baggage troops from behind.

At the same time, Nicano and Philotas, who were caught up in the central forces, suppressed the offensive of the Persian Golden Apple spearmen and the Madian archers, and rushed to support their father Parmanuel.

The Persian army was outnumbered, and the Greeks were at a disadvantage for a time.

Although the old general Parmanuel was not young, his force was still superb, and he was invincible, and the Polish soldiers around him fell one after another; Philotas and Nikano were no less inferior to their fathers, with superb martial arts and agility, and the Polish army could not get close to them at all.

But even so, it was still very difficult to face the large number of undead troops in Persia, and if His Majesty did not arrive in time, it was difficult to say what the final outcome would be.

Of course, Jiu'er is an unpredictable prophet, and after Alexander received the message, although he was about to capture the person he wanted to capture the most, the king of Persia, he still hurried back for the safety of his brother's troops.

Just when the two armies were in a state of anxiety, Alexander's two thousand friendly cavalry rushed over, and Mo Jiu saw the confident smile on the old general's face, as long as the friendly cavalry is there, as long as His Majesty is there, you can leave your life here at this time.

The most fierce cavalry confrontation in the whole battlefield began, at this time the 10,000-strong undead army has been scattered, and there are only about 4,000 people left nearby, and the Macedonian friendly cavalry is 2,000, and the number of the two ace armies is not very different.

Instead of throwing javelins and mobilizing horses like ordinary cavalry battles, the two sides rushed towards each other's ranks in order to break through all the obstacles of the other side, as if there was a glimmer of life in this way.

Mo Jiu stared at the generals on the battlefield without blinking, for fear that they would be injured or sacrificed, and they had been running together for several years, no matter whether they won or lost, Jiu'er hoped that the generals would be safe.

Today, Jiu'er is fortunate to have a glimpse of the heroic appearance of the Persian undead army, so handsome young people, the undead army and their Persian king, are all men with great figures, handsome and handsome, dignified appearance, but it is a pity that the battlefield is fighting, life and death are uncertain, and Mo Jiu really wants to cast a charm to make the whole battlefield stagnate.

"Ahh

A scream came from the battlefield, and Jiu'er greeted the voice, it was Hephaestion who was stabbed in the leg by a young man, Jiu'er quickly jumped off the horse and helped Hephaestion to a relatively safe place.

No one can get this beautiful man hurt, Jiu'er chattered in her heart.

The priestess instructed Ling'er to take care of Hephaestion, and at this time, His Majesty was stabbed in the left shoulder by the commander of the undead army, Sudharnes, Mo Jiu hurriedly ran over to avoid another attack by Sudharnes, and at that moment, Alexander held a long javelin and stabbed Sedarnes in the heart.

Jiu'er was shocked in place, why was he so cruel, what a handsome commander of the undead army died on the battlefield like this, their king had already fled, and poor Sydarnes was still working here.

The battlefield became more and more miserable, and Jiu'er, a third-party spectator, really couldn't watch such a life-and-death duel anymore, and turned his face to Hephaestion's side.

Hephaestion sat on his horse and smiled softly at Mo Jiu, "Why are you crying, is it because I am injured, or is Your Majesty injured, it's okay, it's all small injuries,"

Hephaestion beckoned to the priestess to stand at his side, "Come here, there is danger, don't be afraid, believe in our king, he will be able to defeat his opponent." ”

Mo Jiu stood under Hephaestion's horse and looked at him with a wry smile, "Hephaus, I told you that I was crying because of the death of Sydarnes, or because of other warriors, whether Greek or Persian, what do you think?" ”

Hephaestion was not surprised, but smiled, "Imperial Maiden, you are still a woman after all. ”

Jiu'er glanced at her mouth, and Hephaestion's meaning was obvious, that is, she was talking about her own woman's heart.

In the end, the outcome of this war was already known, the undead army was wiped out, the Indian tribes were killed in battle, and the Macedonian cavalry, with its irreplaceable role, occupied the first place in the merit book group of this battle, and the individual group was the generals of the Parmanuel family.

Alexander led his troops to pursue Darius III, and the Parman army captured the Persian camp and captured the convoys, elephants, and camels.

In this battle, Alexander's troops lost more than 100 men and more than 1,000 horses. The Polish army lost 300,000 dead and captured more than 100,000 prisoners of war.

At the age of 25, Alexander replaced the Persian Empire as the veritable ruler of Greece and Persia, and His Majesty has since been known as Alexander the Great.

In the end, the Greek legions did not catch up with Darius, and Darius III fled for his life day and night.
