Yun Yue looked at the long sword on the table and straightened the tooth flower, and the hands and feet were naturally not clean when the two sides cleaned up the corpse. The Yun family stole back two swords, but they also lost three swords. The soldiers on both sides were tense, and if they hadn't been given strict orders, they might have to tear and kill again.

"Click" Yun Yue split the black armor on the table in half with a sword. Looking at the snowflake texture emanating from the sword, I couldn't help but sigh. These patterns create many serrations on the blade that are so small that you can only see them with a microscope, making them sharper.

And although the steel of the Yun family is called steel, it has not yet reached this level. In terms of hardness and yield strength, it cannot be compared with this world-renowned ancestor of Damascus steel. In fact, this steel is very close to Damascus steel, and this hardness is also seen by the legendary cold forging method. Compared with traditional steel, this type of steel is very resistant to rust. The sword in Yun Yue's hand had no trace of rust at all.

It is traditionally believed that the blade of a Damascus knife should be black. But few people know that it is because the Arabs like to put poison on the blade.

"I can't imagine that the other party has such a sharp blade that can cut through our armor?" Ao Canghai picked up half of the armor and closed his mouth in surprise, his immortality in the six countries depended on the solidity of the Yun family's armor. But he didn't expect that the yellow-haired savage on the opposite side had such an excellent blade. Qi Guobiao was dressed in fine armor and was cut to pieces. A section of the arm is only connected to the flesh and skin, and even if Bian Que comes in person, he can't catch it. The medical officer had already severed the severed arm, and the poor child was only eighteen years old and had become a one-armed cripple.

"It's a forging method that is unique to the West. The higher the temperature in our steelmaking, the better. They make steel, but the lower the temperature, the better. This forging method is called cold forging, and it is not clear what it is all about. Just a rough idea.

However, this kind of steel is rare, and only these people can afford it. The cavalry that Qi Guoxing encountered was not equipped with this kind of sword. Yun Yue threw the sword on the table, and Ao Canghai's eyes immediately lit up. Although the cavalry combat sword is not as powerful as the sword, it is easy to break in the heat of combat. But this kind of hard guy is not among them, and he will talk to Hou Ye for a while, and he will definitely be able to ask for it.

Yun Yue had already seen through Ao Canghai's thoughts. It's just that now the military tent is full of generals, and he is not good, so obviously favoring him.

"If that's the case, then the situation is much better. Although our army is not equipped with weapons comparable to this sword, it is also heavily equipped with steel swords. Judging from Qi Guobiao's victory. Although it has fallen behind, it can still compete. In addition, our army uses a lot of bows and crossbows, and there are not many opportunities for hand-to-hand combat. If they really use the spear phalanx tactics that Hou Ye said, there would still be no problem in defeating them. "We are still confident about the victory.

"Mr. Wei Fang is right, the sharpness of the bow and crossbow has always been a tradition of our army. The reason why the Qin army is proud of the six countries. In addition to the courage of the soldiers. The strength of the Qin crossbow is also one of the reasons! The savage foot soldiers were carrying spears that long. and a small shield. It must not be able to go fast, as long as our army fiercely greets with bows and crossbows, the enemy will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Zhang Han stood up and said.

"Xiao Han is right, but the victory or defeat of this battle does not depend on the bow and crossbow. Rather, it depends on the trebuchet, and the power of the bow and crossbow in the face of the shield is still too small. If you want to use a trebuchet to load the gravel, that guy can kill a large area at once. If you add the oil jar, the enemy army will definitely be defeated. Ao Canghai was thinking about the trebuchet and the three-bow bed crossbow that were more powerful than the bow and crossbow, and the so-called shield was in front of this thing. It's scum.

"Whatever the fucking birdman, Lao Tzu's Modao battalion went up and cut his mother's thing. It's just a few birdmen. No matter how fierce the spear is, it can cut through the armor of the master. Lao Tzu's armor is more than twice as thick as yours, even if those cavalry come. Lao Tzu is not afraid, so he doesn't believe that they can cut through it. "Chu Dayong, this rammer, is extremely powerful on the battlefield, and it is a waste of place to ask him to save it when discussing military aircraft.

"Master Hou! Do the yellow-haired savages you mentioned really use phalanx tactics? Fan Zeng, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked.

"With this phalanx, they crushed all their opponents in the West and occupied large territories. Against any enemy, they use this tactic. Yun Yue replied in the affirmative. The Macedonian phalanx is a formation familiar to military fans in later generations, and how it evolved has long become common knowledge for military fans. It is nothing more than a one-line formation between marches, and when it is attacked by the flanks, it will form a round hedgehog formation.

"That's it, it's up to your subordinates. The biggest failure of this formation is ......"

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Alexander likewise looked at the scimitar on the log table, with its curved blade. There were many gaps in the edges, apparently cut by his own sword. There is a rounded handguard on the grip to protect your fingers from injury. One end is a thick spine, and the other side is a sharp blade. There is no doubt that this is a weapon that is extremely useful for cavalry slashing.

The cavalry took advantage of the speed of the horse and used this weapon to slash down with a thunderous force. When I think about that scene, I feel a chill down my spine. There are also rings under the saddle that riders can easily insert their feet into. Thus freeing up their hands to fight, how did those people on the other side come up with this kind of whimsy.

"They use this weapon when they fight you?" Alexander took the saber and swung it out of thin air a few times, and felt extremely smooth. The streamlined blade slashed through the air without even making a sound.

"Yes, that's the kind of knife they used when they fought us. However, they used bows and crossbows more often, and the cavalry mostly used bows. Most of the infantry used crossbows, and the range was more than 300 paces to shoot through our shields. Most of my people and warriors died by the bow and crossbow. Only after the enemy army has broken up will their cavalry draw their swords and chase after them. Black Wind said as Luca translated. Alexander listened attentively, the two men in front of him really fought with the guy opposite. Everything shows that the enemy is not as easy to deal with as imagined. Perhaps, they are the most difficult enemies they have ever faced.

"Your Majesty! If so, we're in danger. Our infantry marched very slowly. And their bows and crossbows are the nemesis of our infantry. What can I do? Luka was very worried about what Black Wind said, and the biggest problem of the Macedonian phalanx was not hand-to-hand combat, but the lack of long-range strike power.

Of course. They also had archers. But their bows could not penetrate a shield three hundred paces away. And based on the problem of angle, their archers generally used projectiles. This is a kind of face attack tactics, which consumes a lot of bows and arrows, but the effect is not ideal. Naturally, even if they were projectiles, they couldn't shoot 300 steps.

Moreover, the Macedonians also inherited the mantle of the Greeks. There are a lot of powerful guys in the army who throw spears, and this thing is extremely powerful. But throwing distance is a hard injury. Generally speaking, 30 to 50 steps is the range of their killing. As for those friends of the king of Alexander, did the enemy have no cavalry?

Fight in such a situation. The situation will be very unfavorable for them.

"There is no way, the current situation can only avoid war. But according to them, the enemy army has so many cavalry. These men will follow them like sharks that smell of blood, leaving the soldiers to turn their backs on the enemy. This is very dangerous. Now it's impossible to go. It's not an option to stay here.

The enemy, after the previous and today's temptations, will certainly launch an attack on all fronts tomorrow. We came from afar, and here is an endless grassland, without a strong fortress, how can we hold on? ”

Alexander's brow furrowed tightly, and a large pimple twisted around the center of his brow. Now the situation is dangerous, and the perceptive Alexander has already smelled this danger. But I can't make up my mind about how to act, and I really don't want to leave or stay. It's a hurry.

"The enemy is as cunning as a fox, and they are accustomed to all kinds of vile means. What a bunch of cowards. Coward......! "Pamanuel was eaten by Qi Guoxing a hundred people, and his subordinates personally led him also suffered heavy losses, and he hated the Yun family's tactics. But I have palpitations, just a small nail makes it difficult for me to move an inch.

"Well, Parmanuel, I know you have a grudge in your heart. Tomorrow we will give them a dismount and let them know how good we are. Alexander seemed to have made up his mind, and said resolutely: "The enemy is cunning and powerful, but we are not without a chance of victory. Tomorrow morning we will set out for a decisive battle with the enemy! ”

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

As the red sun rose in the east in the early morning, the Macedonian army set out to move. The entire front was full of dense pike phalanxes, stretching out for six or seven miles. The non-commissioned officers shouted the trumpet, and the non-commissioned officers with spears followed the trumpet forward and retreated.

Today's gun arrays are particularly dense, with long spears towering like a forest. Alexander's team consisted of 35,000 of the best Greek warriors. There were also twice as many servant armies as this number, and the variety of cavalry was also very rich. There were not only Alexander's "friends of the king", but also the camel cavalry of the Egyptians, the heavy cavalry of the Persians, and the elephant soldiers of the Indians. As far as the arms are concerned, Alexander can be described as the Mahayana of the Western arms, and the lineup is extremely luxurious.

Alexander's march was on Mount Nato, and he had already observed the terrain yesterday. Within a radius of dozens of miles, only these two not too high mountain bags stand abruptly on the grassland, and there is a small river behind the mountain bags. He decided to set up his army here, camping in the mountains to maximize the range of the archers. Moreover, he also had the trebuchet, a secret weapon made for him by the Persians.

This trebuchet is powered by a torsion lever made of animal tendons, and can fire gravel or one-headed projectiles to attack the city walls, in battle against the Indians. This weapon was extremely powerful, and this expedition to Alexander also brought it with great difficulty. Thinking of the tremendous role that this weapon will play today, Alexander believes that the hardships he endured along the way have not been in vain.

Dense infantry phalanxes were placed at the bottom of the hill, and on the slopes stood javelinmen. Archers and trebuchets were hidden in the woods, and the "king's friends" and camel warriors and war elephants, who had always taken the initiative, were hidden behind the mountains. Today, Alexander decided to play a little trick. Cruel little tricks!

With an army of more than 70,000 servants, Alexander armed them exactly according to the situation of the Macedonian phalanx. Their equipment was no different from that of the Macedonians, and from a distance it was impossible to distinguish between the servant army and the orthodox Macedonian phalanx.

After the descendants of the army hid in Nai Tau Mountain, the drums and trumpets of the attack sounded together. The drums of war were beating "dong" and "dong", and the sound of tens of thousands of people stepping together seemed to tremble as if the earth was trembling.

Yun Yue put down the binoculars, and the enemy's arrangement was not what he expected. More than 2,000 years ahead of the curve is the key to the success of this battle. The transformation and evolution of the Macedonian phalanx are all in his mind, and Alexander plays his cards according to common sense, and the great Macedonian king is undefeated without intention.
