Chapter 61: The Amazon Warrior
In the far north, there is a northern kingdom. It is blocked by dense forests and seas, and it is difficult for a single person or a small team to reach it.
The vast expanse of the forest blocked the rest of the outside path, and only a difficult path could lead to it.
From the city of Sarmatia, head west, cross the Gpid River, and come to a part of the Gpid Territory, which is the entrance to the forest labyrinth. Walking north along the west bank of the Gepid River, the woods are separated by a river and are passable. This is a swampy area, and there are often dangerous swamps. Keep going north along the river, cross the river again at the first estuary, and come to the east side of the river.
Enter the Northland. From here, the journey to the east begins, but it will be tested again through the swampy terrain before entering the northern wasteland. Luckily, there aren't too many wastelands, and then you'll need to find the path to the north, through the woods. Beyond the woods there was a wasteland, and at the end was a great river in front of me. After crossing the river, we finally arrived at our final destination, Semiskala.
Memon and his party became a natural expedition team, but fortunately, they survived the difficulties and dangers. This was thanks to the advice of Zoir Rose Echnos, who told them to choose the spring and summer marches. Otherwise, at such a high latitude, it is no exaggeration to say that once winter comes, the whole army will be wiped out.
Oonos sent a long letter to Memon, instructing him to follow his tactics in approaching the rebels.
The letter said,
First of all, we must pay attention to what we are doing now. They were about to conquer a foreign rebel army that had never submitted to any country. In addition, the natural conditions are harsh, and the female warriors of the Amazon are very cunning and warlike. Don't take it lightly.
Secondly, the troops must not be dispersed whether they are marching or fighting, and the archers must concentrate their firepower on one place.
Then, the pike-phalanx infantry must protect the other arms, and the protection of the archers is the top priority of the combat mission, and the ability to shoot at the enemy must not be lost.
In addition, try to deceive the enemy into initiating an attack. Then there would be an opportunity to clean them up with a phalanx of spears.
Finally, there is the rational use of light cavalry. Never disperse the cavalry squadron to pursue the chariot phalanx individually. When you have to use light cavalry to fight against the car, don't be afraid of losses, don't be afraid of head-on collisions, you must concentrate all your forces to assault a little!
Memon repeatedly read the advice given to him by the general to defeat the enemy, because he knew that such a long and difficult road would inevitably be wiped out once defeated. He didn't dare to have any distractions in his heart other than to achieve this victory. If you lose, you're dead. He is not the only one, but the soldiers together all have the same fate.
Even more terrifying, they had heard that the female warriors of the Amazon would eat the living. From then on, in their opinion, female warriors are not human at all, and not being able to be tempted is just a premise. When the time comes, you can't sympathize with these demons, you can't be soft, and you must definitely kill them with one blow. In this way, the morale of the soldiers is very high and the morale is very high.
Finally, the time has come to fight the devil. On a rainy summer morning, the drizzle was pouring down and visibility was low. The Macedonian army was marching through the woods of the northern country. They are very close to their destination, Semiskala.
On a hot summer day, it's nice to have a rain. However, the road in the woods was slippery and difficult to walk, and the soldiers' shoes were very wet and uncomfortable. Suddenly, not far from the woods there was the sound of horses' hooves, the heavy sound of horses' hooves, very regular, and the sound of wheels.
"They're coming!"
The soldiers suddenly panicked, "They're coming?" Who is it? What exactly is it like? Is it really the legendary devil? ”
Memon himself felt a little uneasy, but he immediately put down his face and calmed down.
"I can't die, I'm responsible for the brothers I brought out, many of them are too young to even impregnate a woman.
Let them go back alive to be reunited with their families! ”
He knew very well that if he was so flustered, the young soldiers would be very nervous and scared.
Not only could he not have the slightest emotional fluctuation, but he also had to say something to comfort the warriors.
"My soldiers! Show your courage, where are your weapons?
Take out your guns and knives and fight the enemy! Even if death or the devil comes today, we have to fight. What else do we have to fear, I am not afraid to tell you the harsh truth, if you lose today, we will all die here.
Aren't you brave enough?
After a lot of hard work, victory is just around the corner. What are you waiting for, winning and returning triumphantly, I'm not going to stay in this hellish place any longer.
I tell you, if you want to live, listen to me. Now you are no longer anyone's sons, fathers, husbands, you are no longer human now. You are now warriors, weapons, machines! Defeating the enemy and killing all these demons is the only purpose of our life at this moment. ”
The Macedonian warriors listened and stopped trembling and stopped panicking. They stood firm and felt the power in their hands.
The most important thing is that there is a raging fire in my heart, which is light and heat, hope and light.
The sound of the horses' hooves came nearer, and Memont said in a tight voice:
"Just like we trained in the Sarmatian military camp, fight with your courage. You can definitely win. I will only let you listen to my commands, and no one shall leave his post without permission. Hold your ground, always gather under the banner of your own phalanx to fight.
The archers were to draw their bows full, the phalanx to hold their spears, and the cavalry to be brave and decisive when they charged.
Remember, I will always be there for you. Follow orders. Die without a fight today! Fight to survive! ”
The enemy chariot was already approaching, galloping back and forth outside the woods, making a sharp and strange cry that made people listen to it in horror and disgust.
It happened that he met an enemy in the woods, his field of vision was reduced and his line of sight was blocked. The soldiers felt passive, dull and depressed. Looming from the woods, I saw Amazon chariots one after another, more than a few of them, and they all secretly complained to themselves.
It turns out that the Amazonian female warriors fought by car, and a chariot was pulled side by side by two horses, and the chariot was sturdy enough to ram.
There were three members in each car, one of whom was responsible for driving the car and the other two were archers. In this way, the archery chariot will strike at a distance while moving, and after destroying some of the enemies and depleting the enemy's morale, it will then charge with the chariot, which is infinitely powerful.
The enemy released arrows. The Macedonian army entered a combat state. The light infantry stood on the perimeter in a skirmisher formation, with the archers inverted in the infantry phalanx and the cavalry at the rear.
The Macedonian step archers stand firm and draw their bows and counterattack in loose formation. Archers on both sides shoot at each other.
At first, Memon also felt unhappy in his heart, and when he encountered a fierce enemy in the woods, he felt dull and aggrieved, and the situation seemed very negative. But as he watched the arrows come and go, the dark clouds in his heart gradually dispersed, and he felt justified in commanding the army to do a big job.
