Looking at the Macedonian side, not a single city was lost, and the rhythm of the battle was relatively active. Most importantly, the battle-to-loss ratio has increased dramatically.

"That's the sign of victory."

Since the introduction of the new barbarian military service system in Aristonos, the Macedonian front has become more and more abundant, and the period of new legions has been shortened. The army can be deployed more flexibly and arbitrarily.

The Pontus army was scattered in the set up battle situation, and although the momentum of the pounce was fierce, it could not concentrate its strength and did not threaten it. As long as you do what you do, you can win.

Thessarus nodded in satisfaction and smiled in satisfaction. He was so sleepy, so tired. Even if you just lean back in your chair and take a nap, it's very pleasant.

The old general held his hands steady, leaned back against his seat, and fell asleep with his head bowed. His eyes were closed peacefully.

He was dutiful and loyal, and fell to the post he was holding, in the big tent of the Chinese army, and in front of the battle map table. Commander of the Northern Front of the Eastern Theater of Operations, Commander of the Asia Cluster. He once accompanied Alois all over the world, and once used his shoulders to hold up the empire. The true most loyal defender of Macedonia.

When the soldiers who came and went saw the old general, they understood what was happening, but none of them wanted to disturb their commander, their strict master and loving father. Just let him sleep a little longer.

The news spread in all directions, including the Pontic people, who immediately took steps to step up the offensive. Apalos was elected commander of the interim theater of operations.

Location: Alexandria

The Emperor picked up the scroll, swept it with stern eyes, got up and walked around uneasily, and came to the window to look into the distance. The beautiful sea view is relaxing. He shook his head and sat down again.

The scroll is a letter from Thessaloniki that reads:

Sicily, Tarentum, Clinton, Capua, Padua, Milan, Rome, Arimiron, and Arettien were all affected by the plague.

12,597 citizens killed due to the impact of the plague; Soldiers were killed, 1435 people.

The appendix contains a top-secret bill on population, security, and taxes, as well as a statement by the Aris brothers about their intention to temporarily relocate Thessaloniki.

"In the end, it's old and useless. He had only been out of Rome for a short time, and the power in the hands of his sons was already in full swing.

After all, it always has to be handed over to them. ”

Podarerios spoiled his children too much to blame at all.

"Since it's the opinion of the 'lions', let's implement it. As long as it is beneficial to the stability of the country, regardless of the means. ”

Moreover, now that a new campaign was imminent, he, the front-line commander, had no time to take care of the internal affairs of Rome.

After experiencing the Nile duel, Macedonia won a phased victory in the southern theater of operations, and its morale was high. After a brief consolidation in Alexandria, Podare Rios launched an offensive and marched south of the river to capture Memphis, Dubis and then across the Sinai Peninsula into Asia.

When they learned of the plan to march into the army, the generals applauded. After being beaten for so long, I finally have to fight back. Patra volunteered to be the first to send an army to besiege the city of Memphis, and the emperor agreed.

Although it was easy for the Greek legions to besiege the city, and it was difficult for the infantry in the city to go out of the city to meet the attack, the garrison of Central Egypt, Hegianon, quickly came to relieve the siege and launched a breakthrough battle with the defenders of Memphis. Knowing that he was about to face an enemy nearly twice his size, Patra immediately set up camp and raised his whole army to meet Heguienon.

Flat land fighting, no terrain advantages or disadvantages. Equipped with a catapult, Higienon fired a fire bomb from a distance, and the Macedonian phalanx was hit. Without a catapult, Patra had no choice but to attack.

He abandoned his infantry and led all his cavalry to outflank him from the left side. The light cavalry went straight around the stone ballistae behind the enemy, and the heavy cavalry followed them a little longer to play a protective role.

Heguienon sent a group of Cappadocian cavalry to intercept him, and then attacked the Macedonian infantry with all his might. In this battle, Macedonia single-handedly faced Pontus and the reinforcements were more sufficient, with less than 3,000 against 1,000 white men. However, the field army of Pontus may have been more powerful than the Greek legions, and the infantry was all bronze shield phalanxes.

The arrow has left the string, and the two sides can only fight to the end according to their own playing style. The Macedonian cavalry fought against the Cappadocian cavalry, surrounded and annihilated by the superior strength of the army, and was hit by an artillery shot. Then the opposing artillery was decisively eliminated, and the enemy fell one by one in disheveled arms and chased by the iron hooves of the war horses. Then, the cavalry struck out the cavalry of the Adjutant General of Pontus.

When the proud Patra returned to his horse, he found that his infantry had also performed well, and had beautifully broken the frontal attack of the Iron Cavalry. So he gathered his cavalry to pursue the routs and kill the javelinmen in Pontus. Although Hejienon himself had all his personal guards gone, he belonged to the generals who made a later effort, and calmly commanded the remaining forces to attack a second time. The bronze shield spearmen were divided into three sections, each of which broke through the weak link of the Macedonian phalanx.

In the face of the strong copper-shielded pikemen, the ordinary Macedonian phalanx struggled to deal with it, lacking the general's orders, and looked dull and stiff in tactics and not aggressive. The Pontic soldiers were advancing steadily, and the Macedonian infantry line was shaken. When the shutter chariot had almost killed all the archers on this side, he returned unhurriedly and rushed back.

The phalanx soldiers were harvested by the scythes on the side of the wheels of the shutters, and blood splattered from the severed limbs and legs. The phalanx front was on the verge of collapse, and the units were scattered and fighting on their own, without any morale. Patra realized his mistake and should not have left the infantry alone. Late to return, more than half of their troops were lost.

Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. Organize the vanguard to rush and launch a neat cavalry charge from the enemy's back to save the situation. The Pontus, who had lost the strength of their cavalry, lacked confidence, and saw that the victory of the reversal was missed again. Heguienon took the road and walked away, and a team of 100 light horsemen gave chase. The Pontus soldiers resisted to the end.

Patra, who was poorly commanded, asked the cavalry to charge the bronze shield spear formation on their backs, but a group of cavalry went up and was stabbed on their backs and fled in embarrassment. The heavy cavalry cleaned up the enemy's frantically running chariots, and the situation was finally secured. Reassemble the pikemen and kill all the Bronze Shield Lance phalanx. Twice as much as the enemy fights half and half remains.

Macedonia won.

When the troops in the city realized that their allies had been defeated, they retreated back into the city. Lucia knew that the Eastern infantry in his hands was no match. Patra again besieged Memphis.

Heguienon was a great cavalryman who fled all the way, and the Macedonian light cavalry caught up with him three times but could not kill him. But in the desert battle, he took a sharp turn and lost his way and fled to the north. Eventually shot by archers of a Macedonian patrol. The hussars were tired to death, but they all admired the knight.

Everyone in Alexandria heard that there had been fighting at the front. Someone muttered that Patra was incompetent and his tactical skills were not good.

The emperor rewarded Patra. Read the latest chapter of "Post-Macedonian Conquest History Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
