Seeing that the left flank was about to fight, the cavalry ambushed in the mountains and forests was finally dispatched, and thousands of war horses were easily discovered once they were dispatched, but at this time it was basically too late for Philip to retreat or rearrange the formation, which would bring greater chaos and panic, and he could only bite the bullet, and he did not forget to ask for help from the rear.

Dmitry also saw the movement in the mountains and forests at this time, and boldly rushed to the left flank without asking his father for his life, this move was wise, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and many times it was too late to act after careful consideration, Dmitry was already in the rear, and it was even more impossible to send people to the infantry to find Antigonus who was marching in the front row and did not ride a horse, this time it was too much of a waste of time.

The ambush of the other side was beyond their expectations, and it was actually more than the sum of the cavalry on the left flank of Eumenes, although there was no elite cavalry of the guards, but they were all elite cavalry that had been baptized on the battlefield many times, especially the Cappadocia cavalry led by Phoenix, which was a veteran brought out of Cappadocia by Eumenes.

However, Dmitry was still full of confidence, because he had the most elite escort cavalry in his hands, and his strength was directly chasing the guards cavalry of Eumenes, but the number was twice that of the opponent, plus Philip still had a thousand escort cavalry and more than 2,000 lancers, so there was not much disadvantage in terms of number alone, and in his opinion, the comprehensive strength of his left flank was much more than that of the other party.

The infantry had already begun to advance, and Odmus's war elephants had been dispatched, which were used against the infantry and were mainly used to destroy the opposing phalanx, but for the Macedonian army that had made an expedition to India, the war elephants were far less meaningful than before. Most people know something about this behemoth, and although the soldiers will panic in the face of war elephants, it is definitely not enough to break the opponent apart.

Due to his own numerical superiority, Philip's formation was long but not very close, which was also to deal with the opponent's elephants, so as not to be overcrowded and unable to move any space. Some of the elephants rushed into the formation, but were either blinded by stabbing or having their hamstrings severed, and were quickly killed. Many of the war elephants in the back retreated directly when they saw this situation, but fortunately, Oldmus had long expected such a situation to happen, so the rear quickly vacated the passage. The returning war elephants did not have much effect on Philip's phalanx, and although Eumenes' infantry quickly rushed over, only gaining a slight advantage at first, Philip's infantry quickly recovered from a little confusion and regrouped their formation.

"Worthy of being the elite division left by the regent! The attack of the war elephant was easily defused. Odysmos sighed.

"Some of these bastards have participated in the Crusade, and they know how to deal with war elephants. Otherwise, even if they were the most elite infantry men, they would never have dealt with it so easily. Antignis said hatefully.

"Alas, it seems that I, the commander of the war elephants, will have to change my career in the future, now that the jurisdiction is lost, there are not many war elephants left, and after this battle is over, I will apply to Your Majesty for a new position."

"You don't have to be so pessimistic, as long as you win this battle, it won't be a smooth ride in the future, wait for me to scold them for a while." As he spoke, he quickly ran to the front of the battle and shouted: "You foolish little cubs, do you dare to do something to the fathers who followed Alexander the Great to conquer the world? Your king is watching you from behind, come! Let me see if your hearts are black. ”

These words caused quite a commotion on the other side, and it was impossible for a Macedonian not to have a sense of reverence for the king. Philip knew that this would not be good, and fired an arrow at Antigines, who easily struck the arrow with his shield and scolded, "Is this the only trick you have?" Like your brother, he is a sinister villain, it is he who poisoned the Emperor, and now he dares to lead a large army against the Emperor's son, I have been serving the royal family of Ajid since King Philip, and I have seen your tricks clearly. Little dolls, let's see the real chapter under our hands today! ”

"Don't listen to him here, it is he and Eumenes who have rebelled and imprisoned the king, and threatened him with his net worth and life, do not fall for him, attack at once, take off the man with the one-eyed dragon's head, give a tarrant gold, and kill!" Antigonus's words were extremely lethal, and Philip gave the order to attack without waiting for him to finish, and if he waited any longer, I was afraid that the soldiers would be even more hesitant.

"Old friend, it's up to me next." Antignis said lightly to Odmus, but his eyes were red.

"Joke, am I not still standing here? Even the boy of Eumenes can go into battle to kill the enemy, and he also cut down the scum of Neoptolemos with his own hands, am I not even as good as him? I'll stand by your side and protect your right, let's kill as much as we want today, hahaha......"

"Okay, the whole army assault!" Antignis shouted loudly, and before the trumpeter could blow the trumpet, the Silver Shield soldiers were already rushing forward.

At the same time, the cavalry of Eumenes and Philip had also been dispatched, and in about ten breaths, as the lancers of Prycouse made contact with the Guards cavalry, the cavalry battle between the two sides began.

Although the process of foot combat was expected by Philip, Philip still felt the strength of the opponent's infantry, the indomitable momentum of the silver shield soldiers was really intimidating, although the shield soldiers were inferior, but they were also very brave under the command of Ares, and the leather shield spearmen were very calm, without a strong aura, and the gunfighting skills were not as skilled as their own pikemen, but they had no fear even in the face of the Spartan hoplites, what kind of army was this, this seems to be just a newly established force, But he already has such combat effectiveness, he has completely defeated the chariot before, and now he can actually withstand the overwhelming offensive of a large number of elite infantry on his side, which can't help but make Philip smack. Sighing to sighing, he knew that the most important thing now was to destroy the opponent's cavalry, as long as the opponent's cavalry was destroyed, his own cavalry would be outflanked, and it would be difficult for the opponent's right flank to hold on.

Both Philip and Dmitry were confident in the outcome of the cavalry battle, but it was only after contact that they realized that their calculations had been wrong. First of all, the impact of the opponent was unexpectedly strong, and many of the spearmen fell as soon as they came into contact with the opponent, and many of them were caused by the rebound of the impact force that caused the knight to fall off his horse for a moment, which was often the case with the charging cavalry in the era without stirrups. The lancers were as long as the lancers, on a par with the rifles of Alexander, and the cavalrymen who were shot in the body by the lancers were unfortunately stabbed in the heart, but this was only a very small minority, and most of the spears were blocked by shields. In the situation of the two sides facing each other and charging at high speed, even if the guards cavalry equipped with two layers of armor are stabbed in the torso by the opponent's Xu Sitong spear, they will not be able to bear it, and the result will inevitably be that the gun will be killed, and the opponent's spear must be blocked with a shield.

In the face of Alexander's cavalry, Philip's troops were miserable, the escort cavalry was fine, the lancers were completely inadequate, and the lancers, who had no shield and lacked protection, fell almost in rows. They did not dare to engage in close combat with them at all, and the light cavalry looking for heavy cavalry in hand-to-hand combat was simply looking for death, and as soon as they made contact, they hurried out of the battle, preparing to go around to the flank and then launch an offensive.

And Dmitry's escort cavalry had no advantage over the cavalry of Phoenix and Oxalgate, and at the moment of impact, more fell than the other side due to instability, which surprised him very much, and soon he found that the other party was equipped with something he had never seen before. But at this time, there was no time for him to think about it, so he could only bite the bullet. Although the more than 2,000 Eastern cavalry are tenacious but the armor is slightly weak, but Phoenix's 1,500 cavalry is a battle-hardened cavalry that followed Eumenes all the way, and their riding skills and technical combat ability are not inferior to the escort cavalry at all, and their weapons actually have in addition to sabers and maces or battle axes, especially the armor-piercing ability of the latter two weapons is quite strong, and the armor advantage of the escort cavalry is gone, and the Kopis scimitar in their hands often can't kill the other party with a single knife, A hammer or axe can easily slash them or cause them to fall off their horses, and the weapons of the knights are often as steady as the Tarzan and the cavalry guards are often unstable.

And Philip's face of the Eumenes cavalry is even more perverted, wearing two layers of armor of the guards cavalry is almost the most powerful existence in the Greek world, Philip found that this kind of cavalry that has accompanied Alexander the Great and his subordinates for many years has been invincible in the face of Alexander IV's most elite guards cavalry was actually pressed and beaten by the other party, and the soldiers on his side waved the weapon in their hands twice, but the other party could wave three times calmly, this is still in the case of wearing heavy armor. He found that he was really backward, whether it was heavy armor or the kind of device that enabled knights to fight calmly on horses, his own army did not have it, he secretly swore that he must go back and equip his cavalry with all this kind of thing, anyway, it is not difficult, as for the armor, it must also be strengthened, after all, it is the most elite cavalry, but it looks very shabby compared to the other party, piercing armor combined with scale armor, and then inlaid with part of the linen armor, it is very strong compared to ordinary cavalry, but whether the other party comes with a hammer or a knife, This armor can't even keep itself safe. Although the combat capabilities of the mountain cavalry were somewhat inferior, in this comprehensive situation, Alexander's side cavalry had a lot of advantages.

At the same time as the two flanks were fighting, the Chinese army also began to make contact, because Alexander's bows and arrows had a long range and were assisted by trebuchets, which led Antigonus to order the Chinese army to march quickly to reduce losses, until they were within the range of their own long-range forces to slow down, at this time Alexander's infantry began to advance, his own archers were too few, and it was not wise to shoot at the opponent, let the infantry withstand the opponent's arrows. Antigonus sent light infantry to begin clearing the front of the thistles to facilitate the assault of war elephants and cavalry.

Obviously, Alexander's Chinese army was inferior to Antigonus's Chinese army, although there were 10,000 friendly infantry to suppress the formation, but the opponent had a large number of cavalry, if the other side opened a hole, the battle would basically be lost. Because the cavalry that followed would easily sweep around the rear of Alexander's central army, and even carry out a decapitation operation without much effort. Antigonus knew this, so when the thistle was cleared, he ordered the war elephants to concentrate on Atalus' weakest Tyre soldiers, and the rest of the infantry all stormed Alexander's friendly infantry, and there was no infantry behind the war elephants, but cavalry.
