The Parthian army, outnumbered, took the lead in the attack.

He led the ironclad cavalry to the cavalry unit, and the archers and Persian archers were in front, and 10,000 eastern infantry were sent to assist in the battle.

The other part was supported by slingers, with the Eastern Infantry, Hill Soldiers, and Senior Security Corps as the main body, and entered the forest to search and suppress the ambushes.

The crowd of 10,000 people took action with great momentum. Brick was outnumbered and felt a lot of pressure.

However, as long as the Eastern Legion maintains its movement, the real threat is the archers and ironclad cavalry.

Before the battle, Brick told the Scythian mercenaries:

"This battle is forced by the situation, and everyone must move forward bravely. In the face of enemy archers, go up to melee combat when you have the chance. At the beginning of the battle, frantically destroy the enemy's archers. ”

Therefore, the Scythian archers saw the enemy archers and rushed over decisively. Deal with the opposing archers with swords and do not entangle with them. ”

Thus, when the Parthian archers came to tempt them, the Scythian mercenaries had been transformed into light cavalry. After releasing two arrows, he rushed forward in one go. The Persian archers bore the brunt of the attack, as they had some melee ability and were not as mobile as regular archers.

The Scythian cavalry, by virtue of its surprise and numerical superiority, pressed with all its strength and instantly routed the two Parthian archery squadrons.

Although the Parthian archers were all experienced and skilled in riding and archery, they were completely defenseless when encountering such a deadly method of dispatch.

Aroyaster quickened his pace, and he tried to dash the Macedonian cavalry formation with his ironclad cavalry, using infantry to close the circle.

The Macedonian cavalry was very clever and circled out of the encirclement in advance. The Scythian archers continued to chase the enemy archers while releasing their arrows to cover the cover.

At this time, the Parthian infantry on the other side entered the woods to search, and soon found an ambush of the Macedonian phalanx infantry. Due to the large number of people, the ambush has been cracked.

The Macedonian phalanx was not afraid of the numerical superiority of its opponents and lined up to meet the battle. The effect of the slingers in the woods was halved, and the Parthian infantry did not have enough long-range fire support, and their weapons were inferior to the 4.5-meter-long spears of the phalanxes, so they were helpless in the face of a spear formation like a hedgehog. It can only depend on the number of people.

The Macedonian phalanx, taking advantage of their tactical superiority, repelled the repeated attacks of the eastern infantry.

The Macedonians persisted in fighting and did not flinch. Only one phalanx, with most of its losses due to exposed flanks, retreated a few hundred meters, and then returned to the battlefield and fought stubbornly.

Seeing that the Eastern infantry was defeated, the phalanx commander Philotas simply attacked. At one point, the phalanx infantry broke through the enemy infantry line.

The Macedonian archers fought decisively to gain the initiative, forcing the Persian archers into a corner, surrounding them and finishing them in close combat.

Seeing this, the Parthian general's face changed drastically, and he wanted to use his experienced archers to rub the enemy, but now his own archers were broken one after another. Feeling at a loss, he wanted to use the ironclad cavalry to force a duel with the Macedonian cavalry, so he went straight to the headquarters of Brick Phoenicus. The rest of the infantry followed.

The hundred-man ironclad cavalry formation galloped with great momentum, as if no one could stop it in front of it. However, the ironclad cavalry, who fought their way forward, left the rest of the infantry behind and rushed into the enemy line alone.

Brick saw the fighter planes appear, and he couldn't beat it. Above!

It is rare for the enemy to reveal flaws, exposing the core combat power of the Iron Guards alone. Brick immediately realized that the decisive point was in front of him. This battle may be won or lost in this move.

Cavalry Battles:

On the Macedonian side, there were three general guards, which belonged to elite heavy cavalry, a brigade of senior light cavalry, and mercenary Sarmatian heavy cavalry.

The Parthian side is the hundred-man ironclad cavalry guard, and its combat effectiveness is extremely fierce. Although there was still one remaining group of archers, it had been driven to the edge of the battlefield by three teams of Scythian archers.

Victory or defeat is unpredictable.

The ironclad cavalry guards of the Eloast could easily defeat all of the Scythian archers, even though they were ten times their own. Because the archers are soft cavalry, they have no protection, only short knives, and bows and arrows give them the ability to shoot from a long distance, but the melee ability is greatly weakened for mobility.

The Eastern Legion is under-armed, and the reason why it has always been able to compete with the Eastern countries is because of its well-trained training, in addition to political reasons.

After Brick took over the legion, he strengthened his training and improved his equipment. Trained the original senior cavalry into elite hoplite cavalry, and trained two close cavalry generals.

The strengthening of the cavalry's hard combat strength increased Brick's confidence in fighting cavalry.

A large number of archers first launched a suicidal attack from two directions. Maroyacet didn't care, letting the guards fight in place. The ironclad cavalry fought with ease against the archers, and the archers were quick to suffer casualties, and many of them were dismounted as soon as they were surrounded by no armor.

Light cavalry and mercenary heavy cavalry charged up from the other flank, putting some pressure on the enemy soldiers. Brick led all the elite guards around until he was behind the ironclad cavalry.

At this point, he felt that something was wrong. However, they still had seventy members, and the infantry outside was running desperately, but the distance was a little far. The neat formation of iron cavalry was rushed out of the gap, and the knights fought hard to assassinate, and at this moment, the battle was completely unclear whether to win or lose. One can imagine how powerful the Parthian elite ironclad cavalry was, one hundred ironclad cavalry were surrounded and trapped by 1,700 Macedonian mixed cavalry, and the two sides were holding each other.

Seeing that the Parthian infantry was about to arrive, Brick launched a frantic attack, and he led his own guard cavalry to repeatedly attack the back of Maroast, and the archers used their numbers to squeeze the enemy firmly in the middle, and constantly put pressure on the enemy. The Macedonian light cavalry suffered heavy losses, and there were few mercenary cavalry left. There were only forty men left in the city.

The last heavy cavalry charge, and Brick pinned all his hopes on this blow. They stabbed down three guards in succession.

It's Maroast! Brick's eyes lit up, and several of his guards had already stepped forward to kill him. The ironclad cavalry was originally well-dressed, wielding iron spears and fighting desperately, but they were surrounded by everyone. It's really sweating, it's hard to breathe, and their stamina is dropping so fast, they want to go out and catch their breath. But the general just didn't give the breakout order.

"Ah~"

The brave general Maroyster was eventually killed in the chaos due to physical exhaustion. The remnants of the cavalry were immediately defeated. The Macedonians won the cavalry battle.

When the Eastern infantry saw that the encirclement had collapsed, they knew that the center had been hollowed out, and the general must have died in battle.

By the time the Macedonian cavalry turned their horses and charged at them, the Parthian infantry had no intention of fighting.
