Chapter 134 Crushing

The Seine flows quietly, just as it is.

At this moment, the banks of the river are bustling with activity, and in the midst of the noise: the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of footsteps, the sound of drums and trumpets, the barking of human voices, and the clanging of weapons.

The Macedonian army spread out on the plains on the east bank of the river, front and back. The hills not far away were also filled with troops.

The British soldiers were stunned, what was going on? Fight with these regular armies? No, just come out and open your eyes. Many of them were recruited from their home island of Great Britain, where they lived a primitive life of tribal colonies. I have never seen so many beautiful troops in golden armor, and they are still so neat and in formation.

The British general Casdics exclaimed:

"Don't care how many enemies there are, the river in front of us will help us intercept them. There are chariots, and these Macedonians don't want to come. Don't worry about how beautiful the armor they are wearing, it's just decorative. ”

"Whew~oh" The British soldiers began to shout arrogantly again.

Oonos observed the enemy's situation and quickly made a disposition. The battle begins.

The Macedonian engineering corps gathered the stone crossbows, and the two engineering battalions had a total of 1 stone catapults. At the sound of an order, the artillery fired at the opposite bank.

The British side was dominated by infantry, with long and flat formations to exclude many phalanxes, divided into three lines. Stopped in the open space behind the bridge. The two chariots moved back and forth on both sides of the bridge in an attempt to make it impossible for the other to cross the river. However, their formation was very dense, and when they were hit by numerous artillery hits, they suffered heavy casualties.

The two rounds of artillery strikes have already brought great panic to these barbarian infantry, and the order has become chaotic. Casdics ordered his men not to leave their reserved positions, and the soldiers were confused. At this time, another round of fire attacked, and the chariot next to it was hit, the cart overturned, and the wheels were smashed and rolled far away.

Before Casdics could give another order, a stone projectile the size of a watermelon struck him unbiasedly. Even the chariot in which he was riding was crushed. Casdics bled to death. The British soldiers were gone, and everyone retreated.

At this moment, I saw a rain of arrows flying, and more chariots were damaged. Many of the soldiers who turned and fled were also shot and fell.

The Macedonian long-range strikes lasted for a long time, and the shock to the enemy far outweighed the casualties, but it worked. The enemy wavered.

Oonos instructed that it could be forced. According to the plan, the Shenji battalion, two squadrons of heavy cavalry, and four Macedonian phalanxes were the first to cross the river as a strong assault party, and the others were on standby to avoid confusion.

The Macedonian heavy cavalry vanguarded the way, and after crossing the river quickly, they passed through both sides of the enemy and converged on their two flanks. The warriors of the Shenji Battalion were very brave, and they followed closely, suppressing the enemy with bows and arrows while quickly crossing the bridge. The British infantry had stepped forward to meet them, but they were held down by the continuous rain of arrows.

As soon as the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion crossed the bridge and concentrated on the enemy, the javelinmen threw their javelins as they ran, and then, as if agreed, drew their swords and caught both sides of the British infantry formation. It was the heavy cavalry that arrived ahead of schedule and began to cooperate with the charge of the enemy from the flanks. In this way, the Macedonian rapid forces pushed the enemy from the shore inland for a considerable distance.

In melee combat, Britain's ordinary infantry and samurai are no match for the Divine Machine Battalion, but Britain's elite samurai are very powerful.

This samurai wears chain mail, an iron helmet, a long sword, and a medium-sized round shield. The fighting skills are refined and the strength is great.

In the midst of the rapid rush of the troops, the four Macedonian phalanxes had crossed the river and lined up on the bank. So the heavy infantry hurriedly stepped forward to support their teammates, and the Shenji battalion and the cavalry retreated behind the heavy infantry in time.

The Macedonian heavy infantry phalanx pressed on the enemy with a strong phalanx of pikes, and the British infantry counterattacked. But not opponents at all, many fell. The British chariot was also put down in front of the wall of guns.

The enemy tried to outflank the phalanx from both sides, but without success. Because the four Macedonian phalanxes advanced side by side, and the frontal stun was good, they kept moving and broke through one British infantry column after another. Therefore, the opponent was instead divided in half, and with the strong flank protection of the Shenji battalion and heavy cavalry, the attack of the first line of British was countered. The Macedonian light infantry also followed, flanking their opponents with javelins. More cavalry reinforcements also came up.

The Britons released the mastiffs, which were easily eliminated by the pikemen. Oonos himself rushed up with his guards, and the cavalry together launched a trap charge. The British army was completely defeated. The light cavalry chased after them and wiped them out.

The Macedonian army crushed the British army in all aspects, and its weapons and equipment were superior. Cross the Seine with ease.

The Macedonian army continued to advance, and he had to allow his troops to occupy more bridgeheads in order to facilitate maneuvering and maneuvering. Oonos sent more intelligence agents to the farther ends of Western Europe.

They soon came to the plain east of the city of Alesia. Here again the Gallic army was encountered. At the head was Brigomagro Aldonna, a general under Dincomius.

When the two armies met, they set up positions and did not give in to each other.

The ranged troops of the Gauls were forest hunters, with javelinmen at short and medium ranges. There were quite a few cavalry, but most of them were light cavalry. The infantry was staffed with elite warriors and Gallic warriors. According to Gallic standards, it is a large army of 4~50,000 people. The combat effectiveness is considerable, and it seems that it will have to fight with the Macedonians.

Oonos placed the Seventh Legion under the command of Bronn and Anaxaxos, who launched a flanking attack. He himself led the Invincible Legion and the Eleventh Germanic Legion, pressing up from the front.

The battle began, and Macedonia first used catapults for artillery preparation. Because it is a positive and one side of the trap, it forms crossfire, so the shooting efficiency is higher, and it causes great damage to the enemy. In order to cope with the attack from both sides, the Gauls arranged their battle formation at a right angle to turn around, so that they could meet the enemy head-on on both sides.

The Gauls attempted to launch a local rapid assault on the artillery units on this side, but several phalanxes struggled to form an effective force and were pressed back by Macedonian archers and heavy cavalry. Only the Gallic light cavalry launched a threatening charge, and they rushed to the engineering battalion, but the Macedonian heavy cavalry reacted quickly to defeat the incoming cavalry. Gaul had no choice but to retreat and be "baptized" by artillery stones.

After firing the shells, the Macedonian Army Group launched a decisive charge. No more bows and arrows, because the Gallic forest hunters were very good.

This fatal blow was carried out by the infantry and cavalry in coordination, and the entire army group attacked from two directions at the same time, and the coordination was just right. Tens of thousands of people charged on a large scale, and the ground shook the mountains. The Gauls were terrified, but the Macedonians were very happy. It looks like it's hard work, but it actually works really well.

The outcome of the war is decided in an instant.
