This reduced version of the cavalry of Alexander's friends was the most elite cavalry in his hands, not only everyone was wearing two layers of heavy armor, but even the war horses were equipped with a full set of horse armor, which was a real Macedonian ironclad cavalry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The weapons in the hands are fully equipped, the main weapons are long-bladed broadswords and riding spears, according to personal habits, it is not required to be equipped with the same weapons, normal marching is one person and two horses, and the other horse carries armor and some weapons, and when fighting, it will be equipped with full body armor and horse armor, and the only flaw is that it cannot fight for a long time. At this time, the number of Macedonian cavalry of Nikanor was 4 times that of Alexander, but Alexander was still confident that the ironclad cavalry was infinitely powerful as a tank in the cold weapon era. Of course, there is still a difference between the ironclad cavalry of the Darius era and the ironclad cavalry of the present, first of all, they have double armor from time to time, and the horse armor does not have such a high coverage.

The cavalry fired two rounds of arrows before charging at full speed, but the two rounds of arrows caused fewer than 300 wounds, and even fewer fell off their horses, and Nikanoel didn't care at all. Then, the ironclad cavalry began to advance, and before the two sides engaged, the ironclad cavalry threw a round of javelins, with the help of horse speed, the power of the javelins was expanded, and the Macedonian cavalry wearing armor composed of linen armor, piercing armor, and leather armor could not resist the javelin attack at all, and almost all those who were hit penetrated.

This attack had a great impact on Nikanore's cavalry, and more than a hundred people fell in an instant, which was more lethal than two rounds of bows and arrows, and all those who were hit lost their combat effectiveness. Now all they want is to quickly approach and rely on crowd tactics to drown each other. But the ideal is very full, the reality is very cruel, and even more surprising things have happened. In order to facilitate the penetration of the opponent's formation, easily adjust the direction of attack, and try to avoid hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry of the group was in a diamond-shaped tactical formation, and Nikanoel relied on the numerical superiority and did not think too much, and the eight squadrons marched in unison to prepare for a sweep.

However, at the moment of approaching, Nikanoel found that the impact of the other party was unexpectedly strong, and he was also a little shocked when he first saw the opponent wearing the vest, but he thought that it was nothing, after all, his own number of people had an absolute advantage. The infantry of the group chiseled through the Nicanor cavalry formation, that is, a few breaths, and the formation of more than ten rows was penetrated, and the Nicanor stabbed a cavalryman with a shot, and this cavalry was strong enough, otherwise even if the armor was thick, it would not be able to offset the impact of the cavalry spear, and he would basically be poked off the horse, but he leaned back and sat up again, and almost at the same time waved a two-handed long-bladed saber to prepare for a cross-cut, at this time the other party did not need to use force at all, the two horses staggered, and the other party would be cut in half. Speaking of urgency, Nikanoel quickly pulled out his waist knife and hard-topped it, and with the screeching sound of metal handover, Nikanoel barely managed to withstand the fatal knife, but the strong impact made him almost fall off his horse. When I looked back, I saw that my cavalry had either been stabbed to death or had their heads removed, and blood was spraying upwards, which was terrible to see, and some were cut off at the waist, which was unbearable. Nicanor subconsciously touched his belly, secretly frightened. Looking at the soldiers around them, their faces were also pale, the other party was like a torrent of steel, their own losses were great, but the other party had almost no losses, the spear often could not stab the other party, and after stabbing the other party, it was not necessarily able to push them off the horse, and the probability of stabbing was not very high.

In the first round, Nicanor's two squadrons were scattered, and the cavalry formation of more than a dozen rows was violently smashed away, although the loss was less than a hundred, but it was enough to shock them, not to mention that the losses of the cavalry were only in single digits. This made Nikanole very unbalanced, and although he was a little panicked, he was not convinced.

"Surround them!"

"The front team becomes the back team, the back team becomes the front team, kill back!" Agaso shouted.

"Kill!"

Nicanor's cavalry had not yet formed an encirclement, and his cavalry formation had been cut through again, making him babble in anger.

"Shrink the encirclement and continue the attack!"

However, the result did not change, and Nikanor's cavalry formation was like papier-mâché, breaking with a single stab. With three attacks in a row, Nikanoel reimbursed the strength of nearly two squadrons.

"Divide into two teams, one to attack, one to pursue, and the one that meets must hold them back."

"It's not good, this time they learned to be obedient, several squadrons overlapped, we couldn't rush over, there were pursuers behind us, all turned to the right and got rid of the pursuit."

Although the tactics of the friendly cavalry are very flexible, they are ironclad cavalry after all, and their physical consumption is very large, and several shocks have consumed nearly half of the horsepower, although they avoided the flanking attack in time, but they did not get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry behind.

"Change the formation, the left and right squadrons separate, each form a wedge formation, and attack the left and right sides of the opponent respectively." Agasso changed his strategy in time, and suddenly the diamond array suddenly separated, and each of them turned around in a circle and turned the spearhead to attack in a pincer shape.

Nikanoel was dumbfounded by the sudden change, and he was still behind him leading another part of the cavalry to catch up. But at this time, he had no time to rescue the troops in front, and he also knew that in this situation, his cavalry had no way at all, they had no time to retreat or pass through their gaps, and the result could only be bitten by the other party on both sides, and if it was not good, it would collapse, this move was really ruthless enough, except for being blown chrysanthemums from behind, this was almost the deadliest situation. Although there were three squadrons of troops, they were flooded from both sides by the torrent of steel, and these relatively fragile Macedonian cavalry suffered extremely heavy casualties, more than the previous ones combined, and in the end, two-thirds of the cavalry were killed, and the remaining cavalry immediately scattered and ran in all directions.

"It's over." As soon as he saw the opponent skillfully turn around and rush towards the left and right flanks of his cavalry, Nikanoor's mind went blank, he never expected that in such a moment, the situation would turn sharply, and his mind could no longer keep up with the rhythm.

"General, now we only have one chance, that is to directly attack their circle formation, I don't think they are like professional pikemen, they are all short spears in their hands, and the armor is not very good, as long as they open a gap and take the life of the kid inside, then even if they win, they will actually lose. Those monsters are too well-equipped, and the tactics are even more weird, and if we continue to consume them, we won't be exhausted before they are exhausted, I'm afraid we'll all be done while the battle over there hasn't completely ended yet, let's act quickly, otherwise it'll be too late. Nikanoor's lieutenant advised.

"You're right, I was careless just now, if I had ignored them in the first place, and just attacked Alexander's own position, the situation would not have been so bad. Alas, immediately turn around and attack, at all costs, must kill that kid. Nicanor said dejectedly and firmly.

"It's here, I've only thought of it now, I've missed the best time, and it's up to everyone next." Although Alexander was not afraid, even a little excited, he could not control the pounding of his heart.

"Raise your gun!" Yabris shouted.

When Nikanoel rushed to the front of the formation, he found that this formation did not seem to be easy to break, a perfect circle, without any loopholes, nearly twenty layers deep, and there were thousands of people. But he knew that there was nothing to hesitate at this time, either win it back outright or lose everything. More than 500 people launched a desperate attack on the south, most of the cavalry who rushed in the front rows were killed, but the circle formation was also greatly impacted, and the guns in the hands of the soldiers in the front rows were almost broken, and they could only pick up the short sword in their hands after they were broken, but the short sword basically had no lethality to these cavalry, and they were all stabbed by the cavalry who came from behind. Although the infantry on the left and right flanks squeezed hard and stabbed the cavalry on their horses to death, the cavalry was still rushing forward, and the spearmen seemed to be almost unable to stop each other.

"Your Majesty, I see that the brothers in the south are running out of their way, and those guys are simply crazy. With so many dead and wounded, I don't think they want to get out of here alive. Yabris said annoyedly.

"Their target is me, as long as I die, don't say just these five hundred, even if five thousand people explain here, it will be a big victory."

Yabris's heart sank, but he could only sigh helplessly: "It seems that we can only wait for the ironclad cavalry to come back to support." ”

"That's all it takes, it's a good thing they're just rushing from one direction, otherwise it's really hard to do."
