Chapter 61 53, Despair
The king of conquest naturally understood this truth and immediately gave an order. Let the Macedonian phalanx advance at a faster pace.
"Stien!"
"What's wrong? Your Majesty! ”
"This king is also going down to fight, you take good care of this kid." The King of Conquest touched Webb's head and laughed.
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Hephaestian didn't ask anything, didn't stop him, and just agreed.
"Hey, you idiot, don't touch my head. It won't grow tall! Weber did his best to resist the conquering king's hand.
The King of Conquest then let go of his hand and stopped teasing Weber. Turn around and get ready to get off the frame.
"Hey, stupid, you're going to die." Webber glanced at the chaotic battle below, and said worriedly, "Isn't it good to stay here and command them to fight?" ”
The King of Conquest also turned his head, stared at Weber, and said with a slight smile:
"How can there be a reason for a courtier to charge in front and a king to sit in the rear."
With that, he summoned his horse Busiphalas, and rode it off the frame in the air and went to the battlefield.
Looking at the back of the King of Conquest, Webb hurriedly ran to the edge of the car, poked his head out and shouted.
"Hey, you idiot, be careful."
"Hahaha, of course."
On the battlefield at this time, the distance between the infantry groups on both sides was only one hundred and fifty meters.
Due to the different methods of arranging the troops, the long-range troops of the Macedonian phalanx were 180 meters away from the Han army's shield guard, while the distance between the two archer corps of the Han army and the Macedonian phalanx was 250 meters.
Hephaestian in the sky, watching the formation below keep calculating.
The farthest range of the archer corps is only 150 meters at most. This is common sense, assuming that the archers on the opposite side can reach the farthest range.
On the other hand, our ranged legions can reach an average maximum range of 130 meters, and when our ranged legions can attack the opponent, that is, when the infantry legions of both sides are only 100 meters.
The archers of the opposing side were at a distance of two hundred meters from the Macedonian phalanx at the front. This is enough to form two waves of long-range strikes, which can lay a certain advantage.
But what Hephaestian was more concerned about was that the opponent's archers had been bending their bows and arrows from the beginning of the battle, which was extremely abnormal, archery was an extremely physically demanding way of fighting, why did the other party maintain the strings?
Finally, the distance between the infantry corps of both sides was less than a hundred meters.
"How is that possible?" Hephaestian, who was in the sky, couldn't help but exclaim. In his field of vision, the two archers on the other side unexpectedly let go of the arrow strings at the same time when they were still at such a distance.
Obviously the opponent's long-range corps was still two hundred meters away from the nearest Macedonian phalanx, why had they already started shooting?
Hephaesty's heart seems to be pulled up, can he shoot? Or will it be...
Sure enough, the worst happened.
The rain of arrows in the sky shot at the Macedonian phalanx with unmistakable accuracy, and even caused a roaring explosion.
How can it be? How could a bow and arrow explode. Although Hephaestian had long expected that the opponent's arrows might hit the Macedonian phalanx, he never expected that the opponent's bow and arrows would actually explode.
Long Water Legion traits: Charged, blasting arrows.
Characteristics of the Shooting Legion: Momentum, Will Guidance.
The entire Macedonian phalanx has been in chaos because of this array of arrows. If it weren't for their king on the battlefield, I'm afraid they would have started to flee by now, right?
"Warriors, don't panic. Ask why, because the king is coming. ”
The heroic voice of the King of Conquest came from behind everyone, and the soldiers took the initiative to get out of the way, allowing the King of Conquest to come to the front.
Conquest turned his horse and looked at the messy troops behind him, and there was no smile on his face. Raise your sword and give the order directly.
"Rearrange your formation and conquer the city in front of you with me."
Under the command of the conquering king, the entire Macedonian phalanx quickly rearranged its formation and continued to advance slowly.
The originally chaotic situation was turned around again by the conquest of the king in a few short words.
"Conquer the king? He is indeed an admirable man. ”
Qin Feng on the city wall saw that he had quickly reversed the disadvantage by conquering the king alone, and he couldn't help but sigh. It's really like... Xuande Gong!
At this time, the Conquest King's ranged troops also gradually began to exert their strength, and a large number of javelins were projected from the back of the phalanx, hitting the shield of the shield guard, making a crisp metal crashing sound.
Although this did not cause much damage to the Han army, it also slightly eased the speed of their march and gave the Macedonian phalanx more time to reorganize.
Soon, the shield guards came into contact with the Macedonian phalanx.
Due to the slow pace of the Macedonian phalanx's advance, the entire shield guard has advanced to the Heart Elephant Desert belonging to the conquering king. Each shield guard was dressed in black plate armor and carried a huge steel shield more than a man tall in his hand.
"Caster, your strategy has failed!" The Conquest King raised his head and shouted at Qin Feng, and the rumbling voice of the Conquest King spread throughout the battlefield.
Indeed, normally wearing such heavy equipment, if you rashly come to the desert, you will definitely fall into a difficult situation, and slowly be swallowed by the desert.
But Qin Feng just smiled and didn't have any words.
Seeing that Qin Feng did not reply, the conquering king did not feel annoyed, but instead seized this good opportunity and immediately pressed the entire Macedonian phalanx on the face of the shield guard.
The Macedonian phalanx's weapons were spears more than six meters long, and because the weapons were too long, they could not handle them with precision, allowing the weapons to pierce the sharps behind them through the gaps in their shields. In the face of such a highly defensive legion, the King of Conquest could only think of stabbing his spear into his shield and taking advantage of the fact that the opponent could not easily move in the desert to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
However, once again, something surprising happened.
The shield guards continued to advance in the desert as if they were on flat ground, and the spears of the Macedonian phalanx were bent by the top of the shield guards, and even many of the spears had been broken.
Shield Legion talents: Adaptable to the environment, stable terrain.
"Ahh Although the words of the conquering king were slightly frivolous, the tone was extremely serious.
Since the Macedonian phalanx could not break through the opponent's defenses, it would inevitably be approached by them. And the soldier with the long sword behind the shield guard didn't look like something to mess with.
As for the temporary retreat, not to mention that the Macedonian phalanx will lose even worse once it retreats, even the conquering heart must not allow this to happen.
It seems that this is the only way to do it!
