"Forward!" With the commander's order, a thousand heavily armed spearmen were dispatched from the west and south sides of the town at the same time, walking in a neat pace, holding a three-meter-long spear in their hands and began to approach the town.

The reason why the infantry attacked, rather than the usual heavy cavalry charge, was because the entrance to the town was narrow and not suitable for heavy cavalry formation. There were also some obstacles in front of the entrance, such as horse rejection, and the cavalry would not be able to charge at all without removing these things.

Alexander stood in the first row of the array, which was the rule of the army, and as the commander of the infantry of the Essis phalanx, Alexander always stood in the first row of the line, giving the soldiers behind him infinite courage.

"Ready for battle!"

When George VI's hoplites were about twenty meters away from the phalanx infantry, Alexander shouted to his teammates. Everyone who heard his shout involuntarily clenched the super spear in their hands and leaned towards their teammates, layer by layer, and everyone was connected as a whole in an instant.

The Golden Eagle Banner whirred in the strong wind, and the sun, like a wise old man, watched in silence as the stupid humans killed each other again.

"Kill!" With a roar from the opposing commander, George VI's heavily armed spearmen lowered their round shields, raised the spears in their hands and roared, and rushed towards Allen's phalanx as if they were dead.

Blood was sprinkled back on the earth at this moment, as if it were a special way for humans to repay Mother Earth for her nurturing kindness. In the face of enemy attacks. Without a hint of hesitation, Alexander stabbed out his super spear, his mind was very simple, that is, to kill the enemy!

"What's going on on the north side?" At this time, Alan was not worried about the battle in front of him. He understood the might of his phalanx infantry. He was more worried about Hannibal's thousand heavy cavalry and Augustus's four thousand infantry.

In fact, Allen understands very well that the center of gravity of his military power is on the north side like George VI, and no matter which side of Hannibal or Augustus fails, his pressure will be greatly increased.

"Lord Duke, everything is calm on the north side at the moment, and George VI doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking Augustus." Guy reported from the sidelines.

"Oh? What was George VI thinking?" Alan frowned and pondered George VI's thoughts, he didn't eat such a large piece of fat that he had put on the north side. Instead, they want to hit my gun formation. Did he see through it? But it shouldn't be like this if you see through it.

While Allen was pondering, George VI also raised the question with John.

John smiled slightly, as if he had a bamboo in his chest.

"It's obvious. That's a trap. Although the 4,000 hoplites were right in front of us, they could not move easily. John said in the affirmative.

Then he went on to explain: "Don't think the four thousand hoplites will be easy to deal with, because they are close to the main force of Ouranos, so if they are attacked. Ouranos was able to send reinforcements from within the town immediately. At that time, internal and external attacks will be a serious threat to us. The two thousand heavily armed knights on the north and east flanks were eyeing us, and as soon as we were caught up in battle on the north flank, they would be able to attack our back and flanks. ”

"Do you really want to attack the opponent's gunline? Wouldn't we lose more than we gained? Once the casualties are too great, how can we have enough troops to resist the retaliation of the Ammuxi Kingdom?" George VI said distressedly.

"Your Majesty is relieved, of course this will not happen. Although Ouranos calculated well, his plan was flawed after all. ”

"Where?" George VI hurriedly asked.

John smiled slightly, pointed to the town and said, "There it is!"

The attacks on the south and west flanks did not lead to any breakthroughs, so George VI took John's advice. They increased their troops by 2,000 respectively, and at the same time brought 2,000 serfs to squeeze out a way out with their lives. It is a pity to face the defense of the super-spear phalanx of phalanx infantry. No matter how many people there are, it will be in vain.

In front of the phalanx, the corpses of those George VI soldiers had been thickly covered, and the blood slowly flowed out of the pile of corpses, and the whole surrounding soil had already been dyed red, and I wonder if the wheat of the coming year will carry the smell of blood.

Although the narrow intersections and buildings of the town prevented George VI from taking advantage of his superiority in forces, he attacked the most vulnerable flanks of the opposing side. But killing is not only a technical job, but also a strength job, to pierce the spear through the armor of the spearman's body, pierce the flesh, not just stab forward. Heavy spearmen armed with double chain mail were several notches more defensive than soldiers in ancient Rome who wore shoddy chain mail or light armor. If you don't master the way to hold the spear and the power of the stabbing blow, the spearhead will easily slide away by the double chain mail. So to properly break through defenses, kill enemies, and draw spears, every move requires hard training.

Alexander was now sitting at the back of the formation, panting, regaining the strength he had expended in the battle. At this time, the phalanx in the first row had already rotated several rounds. However, George VI's army maintained the offensive despite casualties.

This can't go on like this, Alexander thought worriedly. Esis's phalanx infantry consisted of only 2,000 men, and in addition to the east flank, which did not need to be defended, the north, south, and west needed to be armed. So only six hundred people can be placed in each position. Although relying on the terrain advantage, it can greatly reduce the damage of the opponent's bow and arrow, and also reduce the width of the battle line. But in the face of such a continuous attack, the physical exertion of the fighters is really huge.

"Inform Lord Duke that the physical exertion of the soldiers is very high and they need to be rotated." Alexander finally said to the guards beside him.

"No way!" Alan refused, "Tell Alexander, let him figure it out for himself!"

"But Lord Duke, the physical exertion of the soldiers is indeed very high. George VI shows no signs of stopping his offensive at all, and if this continues, the phalanx will probably not be able to resist it. Guy persuaded from the side.

Alan frowned tightly, this situation Alan had expected a long time ago. It is precisely because of his small number of troops that Allen is unwilling to fight a head-on battle with George VI in every possible way. Damn it! Alan scolded angrily, if he had an army of 100,000, would he still need to be crushed here by a little George VI!

Finally, Alan regained his composure and said helplessly: "Inform the phalanx soldiers on the north side to go to reinforce the southwest immediately." Also have Robin Hood's crossbow team provide long-range support. Tell Alexander that that's all I can do, and let him figure out the rest. Even if they all die in battle, they can't take a step back!"

The guards clenched their fists and quickly turned around and ran out to convey Allen's orders.

"Guy, can Hannibal's forces still be contacted?" Alan asked expectantly as he looked at the sky to the north.

It's a pity that Guy shook his head and gave Alan a disappointed answer, "Lord Duke, General Hannibal's troops are too far away from us and have lost contact. ”

"Well, it seems that he can only look up to himself." ……

"Your Majesty, there is an abnormal movement on the north side of the enemy, as if the original garrison team has retreated."

"Oh." Hearing the guard's report, George VI immediately asked John. "What's going on, sir?"

Hahaha, John suddenly smiled happily: "Your Majesty, as I expected, it's time to attack." It's up to you to win or lose. ”
