Chapter 58 51, The Weakness of the King's Army
Qin Feng shook his head slightly, the weakness of the conquering king's army was too obvious. It took a full 15 minutes just now when the Conquest King was rectifying his army, if at this time, Qin Feng sent a cavalry to rush over. The conquering king's army will at least be badly damaged.
Moreover, the armies in the king's army, except for the Macedonian phalanx and his auxiliaries, were all after the time of the conquest of the king.
Naturally, there was a big problem with the coordination between each other, although a single legion might only be slightly inferior to or equal to Qin Feng's army.
But at the time of the decisive battle of the Grand Legion, the problem became apparent, and there was a serious lack of coordination between the conquering king's armies.
It can be seen from the strategic arrangement of the army of the conquering king, and even part of the cavalry corps is lined up behind the infantry, and in terms of the Macedonian phalanx, which pursues the length of the battle, this part of the cavalry has completely lost its effect.
And the army of the conquering king is too single, take the main Macedonian phalanx as an example, if it is encountered in the field, just by virtue of the maneuverability of the white horse, the Macedonian phalanx can be walked to death.
"Ahhh "It seems that after I am gone, they are messing around."
"It's useless to talk too much, conquer the king, let us see the true chapter under our hands."
"This king thinks the same way, warriors, charge forward and conquer the castle in front of you."
As soon as the words of the conquering king fell, the Macedonian phalanx slowly moved towards Qin Feng and the others.
The entire Macedonian phalanx, in general, resembled hedgehogs, and they carried spears six meters high. The people in the front row fell, and the people in the back row immediately made up for it.
It was difficult for ordinary troops to get close to them, but the weakness of such a phalanx was also obvious. That is, if the enemy attacks from the flanks, it will be difficult to resist in terms of the defensive capabilities of the phalanx.
The conqueror king's approach was to constantly lengthen the length so that it would be difficult for the enemy in a battle to reach the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx. Even on the flanks, there were a large number of light infantry, defending the flanks.
In front of the Macedonian phalanx, there was already a heavy cavalry rushing towards Qin Feng's army formation.
They are the so-called king's companion cavalry, and the king's companion cavalry.
In previous battles, they relied on their excellent defensive capabilities and assault skills to rush into the enemy line and kill indiscriminately. The Macedonian phalanx in the rear pressed on the large army, thus defeating the enemy.
The strategy of conquering the king, Qin Feng can see it clearly on the city wall. Immediately gave an order, and ordered the Shentie cavalry at the forefront to also charge towards the royal cavalry.
The number of Divine Iron Cavalry was twice that of the Wangban cavalry, and the momentum of the charge was naturally greater than that of the Wangban cavalry.
But the royal cavalry was not afraid, there were many times the number of enemies they had, and they met more. But every time they rely on their excellent defenses, these enemies often have nothing to do with them.
As they usually did, they rested their Macedonian spears on their shoulders with their heads slightly downward.
The formation of the entire royal cavalry is a cone, and the weapons and equipment of each cavalry are different, and the nobles with financial resources and high status form the front end of the cone, and their weapons and equipment are the best, and they are naturally confident that they will survive in every battle.
At the forefront of the charge was Philotas, the eldest son of Parmanuel, the conquest king's best friend, and the best warrior of the king's cavalry.
Soon Philotas charged in front of the Divine Iron Knight, and like in several battles before his death, Philotas raised his Macedonian spear, ready to stab the black-armored knight in the chest from top to bottom, admiring his desperate look.
There was no fear in the eyes of the knight facing the god iron rider of Philotas, as if he was confident that the enemy in front of him would not be able to break through his armor.
Something was wrong, Philotas took a closer look at the knight in front of him, they were all wearing standard armor, and the thickness of the armor was about the same as that of the king's cavalry. But the enemy in front of him didn't look like a general, so why did he have the confidence to defend against his own attacks?
Without waiting for Philotas to think about it, the two collided together, and the spear stabbed by the Divine Iron Rider was easily dodged by Philotas, and at the same time, Philotas also stabbed his Macedonian Changyu into the chest of the Divine Iron Rider.
Specially made by top craftsmen, Philotas is not only tough but also very sharp, and with the sprinting power of his horse, Philotas can even pierce iron plates 5 cm thick, while the enemy armor in front of him is only 2 cm thick.
Philotas had foreseen the desperate and helpless look in the chest of the enemy in front of him after it was easily pierced by himself.
Firotas's Changyu had already stabbed the Divine Iron Cavalry in the chest, but the expected situation did not happen. The spear did not penetrate the armor of the Divine Iron Rider, but was obscured by a strange black film of light.
The Divine Iron Rider was not surprised, and still rushed forward, wanting Philotas to take off the warhorse.
Philotas increased his strength, grasped the spear in both hands, and pushed forward with all his might, and actually pushed the divine iron rider directly off the horse.
Something is wrong, the opponent's defense is too strong. Philotas secretly thought in his heart, it was impossible to go on like this, and there were only two or three hundred people in the entire royal cavalry at most who could compete with the cavalry in front of him.
"Retreat," Philotas couldn't think of how to deal with the cavalry in front of him for a short time, "the opponent's defense is too strong. ”
However, it was already too late. By the time Philotas had just finished shouting, the first wave of the King's Companion Cavalry had already collided with the Divine Iron Cavalry.
The royal cavalry was not a strict legional organization, and there was no strict relationship between them.
Those who were close to Philotas didn't take his words seriously at all.
The first wave of confrontation between the two corps immediately began, and a large number of Shentie cavalry who fought with Wangban's cavalry were shot down under their horses, and many Wangban cavalry were killed by Shentie cavalry.
But that's all there is to it, the first to charge into the royal cavalry is the best of them, they ride the best horses, carry the best weapons, and the Macedonian Changyu they use in battle will only be used once in the whole battle, after which they will use their long knives to expand the battle.
But even Macedonian Changyu, who brought a powerful momentum through the charge of the war horse, could not break through the opponent's defense, and could only knock the opponent off the horse, and if he only used a long knife, how to break the opponent's defense.
Philotas's mind was constantly thinking about countermeasures, no, it would not work at all like this.
With the defensive capabilities of the cavalry in front of him, he could even ignore the Macedonian phalanx and rush directly into the formation, and then disrupt the phalanx. He must be dragged here.
Divine Iron Cavalry Talent: Strengthened Defense, Heavy Armor Defense.
