Chapter 141: Ambush

"Four or five hundred ......!" Qi Guoxing was a little hesitant, his battalion had 260 people. Five were killed in the morning, and two more were sent back to deliver the letter. Moreover, this battalion is also a patrol battalion, that is, it is of a militia-like nature. From equipment to training, these soldiers are not as elite as the Yun family knights.

Although equipped with stirrups, riding and archery kung fu can only be described as so-so. Otherwise, only two dozen Macedonians would have been killed in the morning encounter. If you meet the bearded knights, the opponent of the three rounds of arrows must lie down at least more than a hundred people.

"How far is the enemy from us?" Qi Guoxing gritted his teeth and asked.

"It's about seven or eight miles away." The scout panted.

Qi Guoxing looked at the map in his hand repeatedly, and the enemy army would not march too fast on horseback with bare butts. Those who are equipped with stirrups have an advantage in speed! After looking at the map and thinking for a while, he called the three company commanders over.

"The intersection in front of me is a zigzag fork in the road, and I will go out to meet the enemy for a while. Then the fraud failed, and when it came to the intersection of Yazi. Take one platoon on the left and two platoons on the right, so that the enemy army will definitely divide the forces as well. The rest of us lay in ambush on the left and devour the enemy in one fell swoop. Take the two rows on the right, you can bring more triangular nails. This thing is very useful to block the pursuers, and after completing the deception mission, you can go straight back to Cockscomb Mountain. Report the situation here to Lord Hou, and we will only go back if we scratch our tongues. Remember, don't get entangled with enemy forces. After luring the enemy army to run out of seven or eight miles, they put triangular nails to block the enemy, and now is not the time to make military achievements. It is only right to bring the brothers back alive. ”

In a short period of time. Qi Guoxing chose a tactic. Yazig-shaped intersection, there are fewer people on one side and more people on the other. If the troops are divided, it is natural that there will be more people in one team and fewer people in one team. Qi Guoxing decided to eat the group of people with fewer people. With the combat power of the Yun family's cavalry, there are many people and few people, so it is still easy to catch a few tongues.

The three company commanders also nodded when they saw it, and the officers at the first level were all old guys who had been on the battlefield. Naturally, we know that this arrangement has the least loss and is the safest. This group is likely to be a local scout, followed by an army of people at the back door, and if they are entangled, they can only be eaten.

The company commander of the first company was named Chen Feng. It's a knife-faced man. After taking a closer look at the map, he said to Qi Guoxing: "Battalion commander, don't worry, your subordinates will definitely lead the other party over." I personally walked to the right with the first and second rows. One row goes to the left. We're all one person and two horses, so even if we can't beat it and run away, it's still no problem. ”

"Okay, that's it. Operate with the whole battalion and remember not to get entangled with the enemy. Walk! Qi Guoxing put away the map. At the sound of an order, the whole battalion began to act.

And at this time. The Macedonian striker is still wandering on the road like an outing. Qi Guoxing guessed correctly, they were scouts sent by Alexander.

Alexander spoke arrogantly, but he also had arrogant capital. His subordinates are all experienced in battles, and the Macedonian phalanx, which has become famous, has become more and more skillful, and now it has entered the realm. Moreover, he is known as the "King's Friend" cavalry, and his combat ability is very strong. In the battles of the conquest of West Asia and the conquest of India, there were few opponents, especially the cavalry that served as scouts, and they were the elite of the elite. A lot of Persians. It's just being done by scouts. By the time the brigade caught up, the battle was often over.

The leader of the Scouts. It was the ridiculed Parmanuelle. The ridicule at the luncheon made him a little depressed, and he only thought Darius's proposal was good. Who knew that the Persians would be so reluctant to fight, and if he had known that he would have said this, "This proposal is very good, if I had Alexander agreed." ”

Now he desperately wants to fight the enemy, and only battle and blood can wash away the shame and silence those who laugh at him. Parmanuel was annoyed as to why it wasn't himself who had met the cavalry in the morning. If it were himself, he would not let the enemy slip away.

After having a lunch entertained by Alexander, Parmanuel personally asked for orders to go to the front to reconnoitre. In fact, he wanted to lead his cavalry to a victory, so that those who looked down on him could see that Parmanuel was not a coward.

In the afternoon, the weather was hot and dry, and the day's exposure to the sun made the earth steam. The distant horizon is distorted in the line of sight, and it looks a little dizzy.

"The damn weather seems to be hotter than the desert, I wonder how those damn guys can survive in such conditions, are they desert rats? Relying on punching holes, will not be exposed to the sun? Parmanuelle wiped his sweat irritably.

"Listen to whomever the army opposite us is called the Huaxia tribe, the Huns are really nonsense. Their population is as large as the stars in the sky, and there are more than a million troops alone. Ha! It's ridiculous, there are only a few people in the entire Greek city-state. A million troops...... Ha ha! A knight next to him scoffed. In the entire Macedonian army, not a single person believed that what Black Wind and Black Macro said was true. If there really is an army of a million, how much food will be needed to feed it? No city-state can withstand such large-scale attrition.

"I didn't believe the two black-haired guys, they had black eyes that looked like foxes. Orientals are cunning! The other knight agreed.

"Parmanuel, what do you think it is?" Several people were talking, when suddenly a knight pointed to some black dots in the distance and shouted.

"What? Oh, the gods are above. This is the cavalry of the Huaxia people, which is great. The cavalry of the Chinese people ......! Parmanuelle's tone was very excited, and he finally caught the cavalry of the Chinese people. The number of people looking at it is not much, it seems that there are less than a hundred. Just eat the cavalry, but let's see what the guys who laugh at themselves have anything to say.

"Rush! Rush up and kill them. The gods are above, rush! Parmanuel drew his bronze dagger and slew it first. The reason why he did this was not only because he was willing to make meritorious contributions, but also because he now had an advantage.

Since it was afternoon, the sun shone on their backs. The Huaxia cavalry on the opposite side had to charge in the face of the sun, and the dazzling sunlight would greatly reduce their vision. Take advantage of such a good opportunity, you must be the first to strike. There are many people and few people, and this Chinese cavalry is annihilated.

The dazzling sunlight made Chen Feng a little unable to open his eyes, but the situation quickly improved. Because...... They have sunglasses. It's really sunglasses, and everyone in the Yun family cavalry has sunglasses. These sunglasses are similar to the goggles of later generations, except that the lenses are ink-colored and can have a filtering effect.

Patrols sometimes walk to the edge of the desert, where the sand can easily shake your eyes. In winter, people who can't open their eyes even when the snow is shaking. So Yun Yue smashed out the sunglasses, thinking that the cavalry was jolting on the horse, so she simply made it look like a goggles. Put it on your head, and you can't even drop it if you want to.

Chen Feng knew that his mission this time was only to attract enemy troops, and he was much more comfortable after wearing sunglasses. The glare of the sun was not an obstacle either, the scout cavalry was right. The enemy army numbered about five or six hundred people, and when they saw that they were few in number, they pounced on them like leeches that had seen blood. Wielding a dagger-like bronze short sword, it looks ridiculous. Chen Feng even thought that if the battalion commander was not so conservative. With the strength of the whole battalion, it seems that they can also eat these bare-ass riding guys.

In Chen Feng's eyes, the posture of these cavalrymen on horseback was ridiculous. Without stirrups, the feet clamped the horse's belly tightly, and the reins were tightly held with one hand, as if they were afraid of falling off. I really don't know how I can stand the crotch of riding a horse with bare thighs.

The only thing that surprised Chen Feng was that the horses of these cavalrymen were very good. It is much taller than the Hun horses, and it runs at an astonishing speed. Chen Feng was a little unsure if he would be able to avoid being caught up by these weird-looking guys.

When the two sides were more than three hundred paces away, Chen Feng's Ming Di was the first to shoot out. With the sound of the whistle, the arrows of more than 80 people in the company were fired at the charging Macedonian cavalry.

"Annoying archers again!" Parmanuelle muttered impatiently, the archers hated like flies. As long as you wave your hand, it will disperse immediately, but it will soon gather again. It's very frustrating to fight with such an enemy.

He took off the round shield around his horse's neck and put it on his chest, and with a "clanging" sound, the arrow flew out. This round shield is actually made of bronze, and the same bronze arrow cluster actually only leaves a scratch on it.

More than 80 people in the company rode and shot at one round, and only one of the Macedonians fell off their horses. The rest of the arrows were knocked out by the round shield, Chen Feng was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close, and what made him even more frightened was that the other party's horse was too powerful, and the horse was surprisingly fast. Just fired a salvo, and the opponent is already much closer. Absolutely not let the enemy army entangle, this is the order given to him by Qi Guoxing. Besides, even the saber has an advantage. But he couldn't deal with six or seven times the cavalry of his own, so Chen Feng immediately ended the second round of volleys.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Chen Feng took the lead and galloped towards the way he came. The soldiers turned their horses back and threw arrows at them. Try to slow down the charge of the opposing cavalry.

Parmanuel smiled, the Scythians had relied on fast horses to meet the enemy. In close combat, the Scythian cavalry behaved like a wive. It is estimated that these guys in front of me are similar. Perhaps they were not as good as the Scythians, who were still hundreds of yards away from them, and they fled in a hurry.

Chen Feng rode his horse and galloped wildly, and the smoke and dust raised by more than 80 cavalry seemed to be hundreds. But through the thick smoke and dust, Chen Feng still saw the Macedonian cavalry chasing closer and closer. In just two or three miles, the distance has been reduced from two hundred steps to more than a hundred, and if this continues, they will soon catch up. Seeing that a fight is inevitable!
