Chapter 148: Alexander's Strategy

When the three-bow bed crossbow appeared on the flank of the Macedonian army, Alexander felt his scalp tingle. At the same time, he rejoiced in his decision, and his prudence allowed the core of his command, the true Greek warriors, to be preserved. And these servant armies, on the other hand, ...... I can only give up!

The non-commissioned officers are still adjusting their formation, preparing to put on a round hedgehog formation. The spear came in like a poisonous dragon!

The spears of the three-bow bed crossbow flew into the spear army formation with a whistling whistle, and immediately set off a bloody storm. The door panels were pierced like pieces of paper, and even the strong man behind the door panels was also pierced. Flying blood and screams echoed across the grasslands, and a single spear could often penetrate six or seven people or more. Every arm-thick spear can pierce a flesh alley in the military formation. A flat spatula-shaped pointed end that can be cut off at a lazy waist.

One fresh life after another has turned into one bloody corpse after another. The stump and severed arms filled the battlefield in an instant, and the smell of blood attracted a large number of crows and vultures to circle and chirp in the sky. The number of wild wolves in the distance is also gradually increasing, and there is a gluttonous feast waiting for them tonight.

The three-bow bed crossbow on the four-wheeled carriage was constantly fired, and the weakness of the Macedonian phalanx was radio-amplified. As soon as one of the phalanxes on the flanks is breached, there will be a chain reaction in the back. In the end, the entire army collapsed.

The number of three-bow bed crossbows increased, and in the end there were dozens of them. The sound of crossbow strings came and went, if this was the Macedonian phalanx formed by the Greeks. It may be hardened by habit and loyalty, but this is a phalanx of the army of the client state. Their faith and will were far from being comparable to that of the Greek warriors. While taking away the lives of their robes, a spear and spear also destroyed their will to fight.

I don't know who shouted first, threw away the spear and turned to run. And then there's the second one. The third. The non-commissioned officers who supervised the battle began to use the bronze sword to slash mercilessly, but in the end, the bronze sword was useless. The surging crowd engulfed them and retreated, and a phalanx retreated. The flanks of the other phalanx were exposed, and the three-bow bed crossbow only adjusted its angle, and the sound of tearing linen rang out again.

Seeing this, Wei Fang gave an order, and the archers of the two divisions chased after the asses of these routs. They were dressed in light armor and had just changed horses to replenish their arrows. It is the most suitable unit for pursuit.

The archers galloped as if they had only caught up with the routs in a matter of moments. The compound bow in his hand kept shooting, and one soldier after another fell to the ground with arrows. The archers shot them. It's like shooting a moving target. This training they have done countless times, it is too simple, too simple for them.

The generals looked back at Alexander, wondering why His Majesty had not yet let the cavalry out. Go and rescue these defeated soldiers. Even a soldier of a client state. That's my own person, too. I can't look at more than 30,000 people, and they are eaten by the other party in vain, and now it seems that the other party has almost no loss.

The archers were followed by two fighting knight divisions, and they had spears and spears inserted. Draw your sharp saber and rush into the crowd of enemy soldiers to slash and slash. The four divisions were like herding sheep, chasing and killing the soldiers of the client state who were fleeing for their lives.

"Order the infantry to follow up and occupy the hill, the cavalry can't do it." Wei Fang felt that this battle was easy to spare. Fan Zeng, this kid is really a talent. The Macedonian phalanx was like a chain, which was opened by him one by one. I'm 60 years old this year. There is a successor to the Taiwei who looks calm.

The infantry began to mount the four-wheeled carriages, galloping behind the cavalry under the command of the Celestial Fang. Through the binoculars, Wei Fang had already seen that there were many people on Nai Tau Mountain, and there was a team at the bottom of the mountain. Presumably, the head of the enemy is on the mountain, and he thought that he could catch the head of the enemy army in one fell swoop and end the battle. Wei Fang felt excited, the Yun family's soldiers were well-trained and had three military lives. His hard work over the years has not been in vain, and he has no regrets in his life to be able to train such a tiger and wolf division!

The carriages and horses rumbled, and countless Yun family soldiers would hunt down and kill those alien soldiers. The carriage was still too bulky, and the steering was inflexible. At this time, if there is a team of light chariot soldiers chasing and killing, it seems that the effect will be better. Yun Yue, who was standing on a high place and watching, suddenly remembered the invincible chariot. When you go back, do you start to form a tank unit?

At the last military conference, Fan Zeng put forward the theory of flank attack. Yun Yue was very excited, and originally Yun Yue wanted to let Zhang Han take the heavy armored cavalry to attack the flanks. Now it seems that Fan Zeng's proposal is more in line with Yun Yue's strategy of pursuing zero casualties. As long as it can be solved with a bow and crossbow, it will never be solved by anyone.

Yun Yue immediately sent Fan Zeng as the leader of the flank strike group, with all three bows and crossbows, and two infantry divisions to be responsible for flank strikes. The infantry division was only responsible for defending the opposing cavalry and did not really participate in the strike.

Wei Fang commanded the rest of the army, and Yun Yue made up his mind, he would just be a spectator in this battle. After all, Wei Fang is much more familiar with this army than himself.

However, Yun Yue was a little strange, if he was in command, he should send cavalry to attack the three-bow bed crossbow army formation at this time. Yun Yue also planned to be there, and there would be a bloody tear up. After all, the "king's friend" is not so easy to deal with. For this reason, Yun Yue even prepared her own guards. The predecessor of this guard was the Hudao Knight and the Great Qin Ruishi, which can be said to be the essence of the Chinese army in the entire Warring States Period. Yun Yue didn't believe it, so she couldn't fight those so-called "friends of the king".

But the direction of the matter was not as Yun Yue judged, and the army at the foot of the other party's mountain did not move at all. The Macedonian gun formation was still maintained, as if the rout on the battlefield had nothing to do with them. What is even more suspicious is that in today's battle, except for a small number of camel cavalry, the cavalry of the opposing side seems to have disappeared.

"Master Hou! Where did their cavalry go, why not send it. Even if we don't hit our bed crossbow formation, we must cover the soldiers who are being pursued. Look at the corpses in this place, I'm afraid we have killed thousands of them......! Ao Canghai also saw that something was wrong, and the doubts in Yun Yue's heart became even more solemn.

But at this time, it was too late to call the army back, and the most taboo in the army was to order many doors. Wei Fang was commanding the army to attack and kill, and he had no reason to rush to recall the army. This will be a big blow to the prestige of the Wei Fang.

"Send some brothers out and bring the wolf smoke balls. I always felt like they had a problem today, especially with more scouts behind them. Yun Yue was very suspicious, and she was thinking of sneaking up on Alexander's flank. And Alexander simply attacked from behind, directly taking his 7,000 "friends of the king" to behead him. Those guys on the other side of the hill are just a trick.

According to Alexander's style, he could have done such a thing. The Battle of Gaugamela, the key battle that defeated Darius, was because of Alexander's attack on Darius's central army. This led to the collapse of the Persian army, and it was difficult to guarantee that the king of Alexander would not repeat his old ways.

"Whoa!" Ao Canghai immediately heard Yun Yue's worries, turned around and went to repel the waiters from leaving. Scout for an enemy brigade behind you. If there is, they must be blocked no matter what, and buy time for Hou Ye to evacuate.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry chasing the rout was getting closer and closer to him, Alexander had no expression on his face. It stands there like a marble sculpture. No one knows what their king is thinking, just waiting for the enemy to come before him?

The Yun family's soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer, and the non-commissioned officers began to shout at their soldiers to lower their spears. The guy with the door panel stands in front of him, acting as a shield.

"Archers prepare! Trebuchet ready! The sturdy face of the sculpture finally spoke, and the herald hurriedly conveyed the king's order.

Qi Guoxing, who was promoted to the commander of the regiment, was leading his team to slash and slaughter the local routs. Suddenly, the sunlight in the sky seemed to dim. Qi Guoxing was shocked, and he **** the shield without thinking about it. As soon as he protected his head and chest, the "crackling" arrow hit the shield.

The rain of arrows was even more dense than the rain of arrows just now of the Yun family, because it was a projectile of heavy arrows used by the Greeks. The so-called heavy arrow is an arrow with a particularly long cluster of arrows. When this arrow falls, it can gain stronger gravitational acceleration because of its greater mass.

This acceleration was so strong that it could penetrate the Yun family's scale armor, and countless Yun family soldiers screamed and turned over and fell off their horses. No one could have imagined that the enemy army would not even care about its own rout, and launched a covering projectile with five differences.

The soldiers of the Yun family still have armor to protect, and the soldiers of those servant troops have already lost their armor. Heavy casualties were immediately inflicted under the heavy arrow attack, and the ground was full of wailing wounded soldiers. Even more unlucky, full of arrows, was shot like a porcupine.

Qi Guoxing was shocked, so many heavy arrows. The enemy archers are afraid that there are 10,000 or 20,000 people, aren't they defeated, how can so many troops come out? Don't...... Could it be that you can't be ambushed? Cold sweat came out of his back, and the silk lining was instantly soaked.

Wei Fang was also shocked when he saw that the former army was being raided. I just wanted to retreat, but it was already too late. "Bang" "Bang" at the top of the mountain with the sound...... There were a few loud bangs, and stones fell from the sky.

"It's a trebuchet!" The fang cried out in horror, and the trebuchet's shot was much farther than that of a heavy arrow. More than a dozen of the four-wheeled carriages following the cavalry were immediately smashed, and the flesh and blood of the infantry on them were blurry and miserable.

"There is an ambush, a withdrawal, a withdrawal." Wei Fang knew that if the enemy army only had archers, it would be better to say that they could resist it with armor and shields, but trebuchets would not be able to stop it by man. (To be continued.) )
