Chapter 120: The Unscientific Alexander VII
Darius's mind was full of Alexander's terrible figure, and now he was left with only reluctance and regret, unwilling to accept his defeat and regret that he did not further mobilize the entire Persian Empire!
The Persian Empire is vast and populous, and if Darius really mobilizes regardless of it, 1 million cannon fodder can still be pulled, but it will cause great damage to local production and recovery, but even in order to maintain the basic rule of the empire, another 400,000 people can be pulled!
But who would have thought that more than 200,500 times Alexander's troops would be defeated like this?!
Darius, who was thinking about how to organize a larger army after returning home, passed the reminder of the guards next to him and saw General Baisu fleeing from the rear!
General Baisu actually resented Darius's cowardice and cowardice, if it weren't for Darius's escape that triggered the collapse of the army in the middle and implicated his own side along the way, so that his people were also routed by Alexander's troops, he would not have had to flee while gathering soldiers like now!
Yes, the attack of Li Liguo's army made Alexander's troops stop pursuing Baisu's troops, many of Baisu's troops are his descendants, and the unwilling Baisu seized the opportunity to gather a lot of defeated troops, I don't know how many times stronger than Darius who ran away first!
Baisu directly led people to keep up with Darius, he had already seen the reversal on the battlefield, and Darius must be persuaded to return to the battlefield, relying on the Spartan army that suddenly rebelled, the Persian army may not be able to recover the decline, as long as Darius goes back, the battlefield full of Persian routs can definitely organize a group of people to attack the exhausted Alexander who fought with the Spartans!
Perhaps, by the time they return to the battlefield, one of the Spartans and Alexander will have completely disappeared!
"My king, Alexander's forces are under a powerful attack, they are collapsing, my men have seen Alexander's troops separated by the sudden appearance of the Spartans, Alexander's elite and the rest of his troops have lost contact in the middle, we can gather the routs and wait for them to fight and lose, and then reap the fruits of victory!"
Baisu shouted hoarsely to Darius. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dismayed Darius, under the guidance of Bai Su, carefully observed the chaotic battlefield, and after seeing the 10,000-character eagle banner, he had already believed more than half of Bai Su's words, but ......
"Are you sure that the Spartans inflicted great losses on Alexander's troops?"
"Of course it's certain! The sudden appearance of the Spartans completely dispersed the Macedonian phalanx that was attacking our central collapse front, and they completely blocked Alexander's other troops with a heavy infantry phalanx also equipped with super long guns, and began to fight, Alexander's friendly cavalry had been dragged by the opponent's large number of main forces! ”
Hearing this, Darius finally made up his mind and ordered: "Gather the rout, we will kill one of them!" ”
Baisu was surprised to receive the order, with the banner of Darius, many scattered Persian elites can still be gathered, and it may not be impossible to organize tens of thousands of troops to go back at that time!
Just as Darius was being encouraged by Baisu to turn back and pick up the results, Alexander had already discovered that the Macedonian phalanx behind him had been interspersed with a small group of Spartan warriors, and it was quickly avalanche!
Alexander was amazed at the strong combat effectiveness of those Spartan warriors, and when one person faced several or even more than ten people, he could still resist calmly, you must know that these Macedonian phalanx infantry were all veterans who followed Alexander's southern and northern wars, not ordinary soldiers!
Angry, Alexander roared, took the lead in turning the horse's head, and broke through to the back, completely killing the soldiers of the first army!
Li Liguo frowned and looked at the Xiandeng army, which had completely collapsed, and ordered the Spartan archers who had retreated from the front to be transferred, and he personally commanded these archers, to give Alexander's friendly cavalry, which was as unscientific as the legendary Spartan warriors, a lesson that would never be forgotten for a lifetime!
Due to the sudden addition of Li Liguo's men and horses on the battlefield, it completely became a melee situation, and Li Liguo's position happened to be in the place where the Macedonian troops were in front of the battle, and Alexander's troops were all sent out, so this position was naturally vacant!
Li Liguo, who looked around the battlefield, had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Spartan pikemen, who served as the main force with the largest number, was still far behind the Macedonian phalanx under Alexander, and the Macedonians knew the advantages and disadvantages of this phalanx very well.
Although the form is not good for the Macedonian troops, they are much more than Li Liguo's people!
Well, here is not counting the soldiers of the first army, those cannon fodder after stumbling on Alexander's friendly cavalry for a while, there is not much combat power left, the soldiers of the first army go up to the veteran officer down to the strong man who pulls the force, how have you ever seen such a fierce battle?
Even a few veterans of the Xiandeng Army who firmly believed that Li Liguo could win, after being beaten and abused by Alexander, they had disappeared from the battlefield after being defeated by Alexander as a whole......
Weapons and armor were thrown everywhere, no different from the defeated Persian soldiers!
Alexander, who was leading his friendly cavalry to rescue the last Macedonian phalanx in the rear, rushed out of the sea of people who had ascended the army, and suddenly found several columns of archers listed in front of him, and those archers looked at their cavalry with horrified expressions, but they were immobilized by a group of elite Spartan bullets with one-handed axes...... Archery!
100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters......
Although Alexander wondered where these archers got the courage to face the charge of their friendly cavalry, this did not prevent him from leading people to flatten these archers with scumbags of melee ability, and even if Alexander was a little puzzled about their practice of not shooting arrows, but the grim form of the battlefield could not help Alexander choose another direction to break through!
Alexander was convinced that no enemy could stop him and his fellow cavalrymen!
When the distance was close to 30 meters, many Spartan archers were already trembling nervously, if it weren't for the Spartan berserkers beside them, these thousands of Spartan archers would have collapsed!
The archers all used direct shots with great lethality at close range, and under the roar of arrows, 3 columns of archers shot out of their hands quickly or slowly, and then rolled and crawled out of the way, followed by the same 3 neat rows of archers!
