After the herald left, Antigonus fell into deep thought. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cavalry has all been dispatched, and the balance of the Chinese army has now been reversed. Antigonus's onslaught ushered in Hercules' royal spearmen, and Antigonus knew he could no longer move forward. The Phrygian Axemen, after suffering heavy losses, saw that the Tyre infantry was about to cut through Atalus, and his efforts were almost in vain.

"No, I can't throw in the towel." Antigonus struggled to regain his composure and gradually dispel his pessimism, knowing that he could not show any negative emotions as a pillar.

"Immediately have someone call Nicano back for me, at least two thousand people for me, quick!" Antigonus looked at the chaos in the middle of Atalus' main formation, and finally showed a smile on his face, he was now in a race against time, he knew that once the other party's reinforcements landed, then he was likely to completely collapse, and the reinforcements must have been sent by Polybeccon. His only chance now was to take advantage of the Phrygian axe's tear between the Tyre spearmen to allow Nikanor to pass through and kill directly at Alexander's main formation, which only had a few hundred men, and believed that Nicanor could easily capture or kill Alexander.

"Quick! Fast! When they arrived on the shore, they immediately formed a formation. Alexand urged his men repeatedly, and this time he brought with him 4,000 infantry, a new Roman legion that excelled in hand-to-hand combat, and with him Aridaius, who fled to the island of Caios (present-day Chios) after the failure of the siege of Cizizus, and finally made contact with Polybecon on the island of Naxos, and fled with a few hundred remnants of the defeated generals.

"Antigonus, I, Aridaus, are back! Hurry up and get out of here and die! Dressed in thick bronze armor with a chainmail vest inside, an iron sword a cubit and a half long in his right hand and a large round shield in his left hand, he swaggered ashore and cursed as he went, completely devoid of his former decadence.

Antigonus's archers kept shooting at the landing soldiers, and the Taranto cavalry sometimes threw javelins and sometimes rushed to kill the scattered soldiers, and the landing was not as simple as imagined, and many reinforcements were shot and fell into the sea, and then were either trampled to death or drowned. But fortunately, these soldiers are basically Roman standard equipment, not only can they use long shields to block arrows, but the javelins in their hands are constantly thrown at those cavalry or archers, and the counterattacks are quite sharp, as long as they are shot by javelins, they are basically through. It didn't take long for Alexandre to form up on the coast and start pushing forward. The Taranto cavalry should be accurately Taranto-style cavalry, as this type of cavalry originated in Taranto in southern Italy, was widely used throughout the Great Greek League throughout Italy, and was imitated by the surrounding Hellenistic states (including the later Seleucid and Macedonian Antigonal dynasties).

They were guerrilla cavalry imitating the equipment of the peltastai standard. The Taranto cavalry had better armor than the typical Greek light cavalry of the past: linen armor backing, scaly armor on the abdomen, bronze helmets, shin guards on the feet, and a larger shield, but the Taranto cavalry was not particularly capable of charging compared to the Thessalian cavalry and other Macedonian cavalry. Equipped with swords and better armor, they have good hand-to-hand combat abilities in addition to harassment, and their role and abilities are just like those of Agrion in the infantry.

The Taranto cavalry attracted Alexandre in the front, Tellesflos ordered the remaining half of the Macedonian cavalry to charge from the flank, these soldiers brought by Alexander were good at hand-to-hand combat, but they were not good at resisting cavalry, many fell under the impact of the Macedonian cavalry, but the formation was still very strong, the soldiers in the back row threw javelins from their hands from time to time, and under the dense formation, the Macedonian cavalry also suffered heavy losses. As a last resort, Tellesfloss had to order the cavalry to retreat and reorganize the charge.

Alexander right flank.

"Let Phoenix draw some of his men over the hill in front of the right, go around Dmitry's flank and attack, and completely shatter their defenses." Eumenes gave the order. By this time, however, Mithridates' cavalry had come to Dmitry's aid, and they were soon joined by Phoenix's squad.

"Prince, there are fireballs from time to time in the west, I'm afraid Alexander's reinforcements have arrived." A Spartan warrior said to Archidamus.

"In that case, stop the attack, inform Alexander's army in front, turn around with me, and retreat to the rear of Dmitry and Philip, and attack Dmitry's rear before they guess our intentions." Ahidamus said heroically.

"What, the other party said that they were going to attack the Dmitry army, let's hurry up and follow up?" Little Conas was inexplicably surprised, he had been fighting with the Spartan hoplites for a long time, and his blood was shed in vain? This was difficult for him to accept for a while. But the astonishment is the consternation, he still knows the severity, and the other party is not like telling a lie, otherwise he will not let a road pass in vain, although this road is a little narrow, but once he and his people pass, it will be very fatal to Dmitry and Philip.

Philip and Dmitry were very surprised by the retreat of Archidamus, but they did not think about it that way, but they were very worried when they saw the leather shield spearmen behind them passing through the passage left by the Spartans. Philip had to send some of his fellow infantry to hold off the shield-gunners, but soon Dmitry was shocked to see the Spartans running behind him, and then turned their spears against him. However, his reaction was also fast, he quickly drew out a part of the cavalry to surround the Spartans from three directions, and the cavalry in front of him had not had time to charge the Spartans had already rushed in front of him, so the cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and the cavalry on both sides attacked the left and right flanks of the Spartans respectively. However, although there are few Spartans, but as the strongest soldier in the world except for the silver shield soldiers, the reputation of the Spartan hoplites is not covered, the vitality is indeed tenacious, and the fighting skills are even more superb, and the cavalry's cavalry spurs are easily blocked by their Aspis round shields, but the elusive spears of the Spartans are not easy to avoid, especially the range of movement of the soldiers on the horses is really limited, and the shields are much smaller.

Attalus Medium Army.

"Quick, let Docamos and General Amintas quickly send reinforcements to protect the formation, this side is almost unbearable?" Attalus shouted, brandishing his sword and slashing, facing these axemen, his infantry were terrified, as long as they were struck by the axe, there was no chance of survival. The spears in the hands of the soldiers often just stabbed the axe in front of them, and before they could pull them out, the axes behind them were already coming at them, and from time to time there were throwing axes, which made people worry.

"Kill! It's just a little bit, they can't hold it anymore! Once you defeat them, the battle will be won! Ptolemy was constantly cheering up his men, and his eyes were wide as if they were about to burst out.

"Oops! Attalus couldn't stand it anymore. Alexander saw that Attalus's own formation was in danger, and the infantry was still in a stalemate with the opposing side, and the phalanx of friends on both sides had sent a few squadrons to increase the thickness.

"Cavalry, charge with me!" Nikanor was so anxious that he couldn't wait to see enemy reinforcements coming, and that Attalus's line, though precarious, had not been pierced.

"General, they haven't broken through yet!" One of his subordinates said.

"Can't wait, let the infantry in front of you dodge."

"Yes!"

Ptolemy also seemed to be aware of Nikanoer's intentions, and quickly cooperated, but there were still many exhausted axemen who did not even have the strength to walk, and stood there in a low voice, only to be trampled to pulp by the cavalry, and no one could pity them at this time, and there was no way to save them. That's how cruel war is.

"Not good!" When Attalus saw the surging cavalry, a bad premonition came over him.

It is generally very unwise for cavalry to charge the spear array head-on, the spear phalanx is like a cutting board, and the cavalry is like a hammer sticking to the other side with a cutting board, and then smashing it with a hammer, which is a trick that Alexander the Great and the Macedonian armies have always used. But nothing is set in stone, and at this time, Nikanor didn't care how many casualties he had, his goal was to break through Attalus's main formation, and then kill Alexander, so as to achieve victory. Although the cavalry suffered heavy casualties, the impact of the cavalry was indeed strong, and the fragile formation of Attalus's Syrian auxiliaries had been squeezed into an arc. After losing nearly a quarter of his cavalry, Nikanor finally broke through Atalus' camp, only a few steps away from reinforcements on either side, and when all the cavalry had passed, Nikanoor's cavalry was less than two-thirds left, but it was enough for him.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army has broken through General Attalus's defenses and is already coming at us!" Agaso said anxiously.

"I know." Alexander said lightly.

"Your Majesty, please stay out of the way for a while, and I will escort you away. Hurry, it's too late to be late! ”

"Bastard! Do you think I am Darius III? As a king, how can he flee from the battle and ignore thousands of soldiers under his command! I am the son of Alexander the Great, I am the son of Achilles and Hercules, and I have never been afraid of death! Alexander angrily rebuked.

"Your Majesty—" Yabris tried to persuade as well, but before he could say anything, Alexander interrupted him.

"Needless to say, Agaso, you rode Pegasus and led the cavalry of your friends to meet the enemy, Yabris, you led the cavalry of your attendants to form a circle to protect me."

"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous, I think we should order the general to send some cavalry back to help." Agaso suggested again.

"No, the front is in a state of equilibrium, and we can't just draw troops until we have completely suppressed the opponent, our equipment is better than the opponent's. I am not afraid of killing the past, seeking wealth and danger, are you afraid? ”

"Your Majesty is not afraid, how can we be afraid, we are also for Your Majesty's safety. Since His Majesty insisted on this, his subordinates had no choice but to receive orders. For the sake of Your Majesty, for the sake of the Macedonian Empire, kill! Seeing that the king was not afraid of death, the soldiers all blushed and became excited, and rushed madly towards Nicanor.

Alexander's heart was filled with joy and he couldn't help but exclaim: Morale is available!

"Won't it?" Nikanor was surprised to see the soldiers howling wildly, such a morale was probably not possessed by any army, at least not under Antigonus. He was sure that the king was among them, that he had seen the petite body in the distance, and that he was certainly the target of his search. After a short period of stunnedness, he was relieved: "Sure enough, since they are looking for death, brothers, victory or defeat in one fell swoop, kill me as you like!" ”
