Chapter 65 56, the legendary class

At this time, the battlefield was deadlocked, except for the wolf cavalry guarding the two wings of the archers and the three cavalry of the conquering king, the other soldiers had no energy to support the people on other fronts.

Before the Macedonian phalanx completely surrounded the Han army, the only thing that served as a breakthrough in the war was the three horsemen and the wolf horse.

Although the Han army's Changshui Legion, which could shoot blasting arrows, had stopped shooting. But the Archery Legion was still pulling the bowstrings, harvesting one Macedonian phalanx after another.

Even in the midst of the chaos, the Shooting Legion still accurately harvested the lives of the conquering king's soldiers, and never an arrow missed.

If the three horsemen can break through the wolf horse's defenses and then kill the archers inside, they can win the conquering king faster.

In terms of numbers, the three horsemen combined have a full 12,000 people, while the wolf riders have only 6,000 people.

The three cavalry have an absolute advantage in numbers, and among the three cavalry, there are long-range archers, heavy-armored ironclad cavalry, and melee charging lancers.

Almost every aspect of the cavalry is involved, and no matter which aspect of the cavalry on the opposite side specializes in, there is always a way to deal with it on the side of the three cavalry.

When the cavalry on both sides approached a certain distance, the cavalry archers began to bend their bows and shoot arrows. This is their usual tactic, and if the opposite side cannot attack from a distance, the archers will slowly kill the wolf on the kite. Once the opponent abandons the archers and chooses to chase the archers, the lancers will take the opportunity to rush in and destroy the opponent's archers.

The rain of arrows poured down on the wolf's head, and each of them held shields of different sizes, some with small round shields, some with large square shields, covering most of the arrow rain, causing only a few casualties to the wolf riders.

Ptolemy led the archers, and saw that the wolf cavalry had completely defended himself against the attacks of his generals. Not only did he not get annoyed, but calmly analyzed.

The other side is a cavalry that attaches great importance to defense, but fortunately their defense is not that strong. In that case......

"Antigonus, take your ironclad men and storm him."

"Bastard Ptolemy, don't you command Lao Tzu!"

Despite the swearing, Antigonus still charged his men towards the wolfrider.

The lethality of the cavalry depends on the powerful speed brought by the charge of the war horse, although the defensive cavalry does not have too strict requirements for speed, but a charging defensive class can easily break the opposite formation when facing the cavalry without special ability.

But instead of sitting still, the wolf rider on the opposite side pulled out the spear on his horse and charged towards the ironclad horseman.

Sure enough, is it a cavalry that has strengthened its heavy armor defense and close-range attack?

Ptolemy had long had a guess that there might be more than just a defensive class on the other side.

Although the defensive ability of the wolf cavalry has reached a first-class level, it is slightly inferior to the Han army in front.

So the opposite side is likely to be an elite cavalry who is good at two aspects.

But that's where we get a little bit of the better hand.

"Seleucus, charge the edge!"

"Hmm" Seleucus nodded silently, leading his lancers towards the spot where the wolf rider had come out.

Ptolemy had already planned when facing the wolf cavalry, and if it was a first-class cavalry in defense and close combat, let Seleucus charge to the Han army's archer group with the lancers. If it is a situation where both defense and long-range attack are first-class, let the ironclad cavalry disperse the opponent's formation against the rain of arrows.

As for what if the opponent is a first-class cavalry in both offense, defense and long-range attack?

There was no such possibility, and it was already necessary to be carefully selected to become an archer who could ride a horse, and to be able to charge with a spear in heavy armor, an elite talent that could only muster a maximum of one or two hundred men even in Alexander's empire. If the 6,000 men on the opposite side were this legendary troop, then Ptolemy would have been on the spot...

Before Ptolemy could finish his vow, the wolf riders in the back row pulled out their crossbows from their waists and aimed them at the lancers.

"Impossible!" Ptolemy had already exclaimed, though he didn't know what was being taken on the other side? But from the opponent's movements, Ptolemy could also see that the opposite side had the ability to attack from a distance.

"Isn't that?"

You know, most archers wear light cloth armor, and that's because string pulling itself is a physically demanding sport.

Is it possible to let these archers wear heavy armor and ride tall horses, and kill people with spears?

Ptolemy's concept was not wrong, even the Han Empire did not have more than 300 capable people, but he ignored the role of technology.

The wolf rider is equipped with his Zhuge Kongming invented a big black technology, Zhuge crossbow, although this kind of thing is a big problem to reload, but he greatly makes up for the difficulty of becoming an archer, as well as the convenience of using it on horseback.

The short arrows in the sky were fired at the lancers, killing almost all of the soldiers in the first wave of the lancers.

Wolf Rider Talent: All-round

Antigonus's eyes turned red as he watched the tragic death of his subordinates, and he turned his horse's head and charged towards the wolf cavalry with the remaining lancers.

"Hey, Antigonus, don't be impulsive, continue to charge at the archers on the opposite side."

Ptolemy saw Antigonus's eyes redden, and he hurried forward to stop him.

"I've looked at the weapons on the other side, and although they are powerful, they are absolutely impossible to load arrows on horseback. As long as you charge twice, you will definitely be able to destroy the archery army on the opposite side. ”

Antigonus didn't listen to him, and pulled out his spear and pointed it at Ptolemy.

"Get out of here!"

"Hey! Don't you want to win for the king? ”

"I said, fuck off!"

At this time, Seleucus also drove forward and sided with Antigonus. Although he still did not say a word, Ptolemy understood it by his position.

There was silence for a moment, but he finally got out of the way.

Antigonus didn't even look at Ptolemy, and led his lancers to charge towards the wolf horsemen.

Seleucus also patted Ptolemy on the shoulder, and directly drove his horse to lead his men to charge with Antigonus.

"It's... Stupid! ”

Ptolemy looked at their backs and involuntarily thought that if he hadn't led the archers, he would have led his subordinates to rush to the archers on the opposite side.

I can't remember when I became so utilitarian, but I guess it was when I betrayed the king.

Anyway, it's useless to charge over by yourself, so it's better to go crazy with them. If it were you, O king, you would have forgiven us as before.

"Little ones, pull up your bowstrings and cover our brothers."

The blood of the long-lost blood burned in Ptolemy's chest, as it had been several times before his death, and even though he knew that it was wrong, the three brothers still charged the enemy together.
