Chapter 85: Attack

The pioneer army on the opposite side must not be very rich in iron ore, and in the Macedonian phalanx, only the soldiers in the first few rows are full sets of iron chain mail and shields, and the people behind are basically leather armor and a 4-meter-long spear.

After General Ares received the order, he put a small number of legendary Spartan Praetorian Guards and all the general guards in the middle to form a thin traditional Greek heavy infantry phalanx, and Li Liguo also loudly proclaimed to the soldiers of the general guard: "Noble king's guard, you don't need to step forward to attack the enemy, you only need to hold our defensive line, and the task of attacking will be handed over to the legendary Spartan Janissaries!" Don't let me down, if you can't defend with less loss, you're not qualified to continue as a noble King's Guard! ”

Li Liguo shamelessly said that the cannon fodder bait mission was a defensive mission with less losses, but fortunately, those legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard soldiers were silent one by one, no matter what Li Liguo said, they would fight to the end!

Ares took the left flank as a breakthrough, and the reason why he chose this way was because the left flank of Li Liguo's army formation, that is, the right flank of the opposite army formation, was on the side of the woods, and the other side was not far away from a river!

If you kill the enemy from this side, the most convenient way for the enemy to escape will be blocked by the river, hehe, at that time......

The opponent's General Typier had a fierce eye, and when Ares began to adjust his military formation, he sounded the horn of attack!

General Tipier's method of attack is a very traditional cold-weapon combat routine, where the archers jog forward and start throwing when they are in range!

These archers all use iron arrows, which can theoretically shoot through the opposing bronze armor even if they are thrown!

It's a pity that they can't shoot through their big round shields......

The Greek phalanx of heavy infantry had a lot of experience in defending against projectiles, and after a few rounds of projectiles, General Typier did not achieve much success.

"Yes, the soldiers of the army on the opposite side are of high quality, experienced in battle formations, and have a strong ability to defend against arrows." General Tippier gave the other party a rare positive evaluation......

General Ares saw the archers on the opposite side arrayed in front of him, his eyes lit up, and as soon as the archers on the other side changed formation, the pressure on the left flank was even lower!

Without waiting for his own army to be in order, General Ares raised his spear and roared: "Spartan warriors, tear the enemy to pieces!" ”

"Sparta will win !!"

Since the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard led by Ares has chosen a loose array that is easy to turn, there is naturally no need to form a strict phalanx!

And just as Ares launched an attack and roared, the archers on the opposite side also slowly retreated into the Macedonian phalanx behind them according to the normal routine, and the Macedonian spear phalanx began to jog and accelerate!

The cavalry on both wings even raised their horses' hooves to break through and attack!

Li Liguo looked at the situation of the opposite attack, obviously the cavalry broke through the Macedonian spear phalanx and followed the assault formation, this method is the most commonly used and simplest tactic of Alexander the Great!

Unlike ordinary people's understanding, the Macedonian phalanx can build an empire across Asia, Europe and Africa under Alexander the Great, not simply relying on infantry charges, on the contrary, in battle, the combat effectiveness of the Macedonian cavalry is much higher than the power of the infantry phalanx!

The core of Alexander's army was cavalry units! Even Alexander himself stayed in the cavalry unit and personally led the core of this army!

The role of the Macedonian phalanx was often to rush forward and completely crush the enemy after the cavalry had opened a breakthrough!

And the copycat version of the Macedonian phalanx in front of Li Liguo, the general under his command obviously regarded the infantry as the core, and although the cavalry was also used as a breakthrough force, the number and elite level were really not good.

Those cavalry were just ordinary light cavalry, wearing light iron armor and holding scimitars, and the charging formation was also the most common swarm, completely relying on the size of the war horse......

The most important thing is that the cavalry is divided into two wings to break through, and the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard led by Ares only needs to face half of the cavalry troops!

Although the infantry is often weak in the face of cavalry charges in loose formations, the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard has the advantage in numbers and should be able to break through......

Li Liguo looked at Ares's direction uneasily.

However, the scene in front of him completely subverted Li Liguo's common sense about cold weapon combat!

I saw dozens of legendary Spartan Janissaries in the front row who were about to collide with the opposing cavalry, they jumped up heroically and hit the cavalry fiercely and accurately, these cavalry were regular light cavalry with perfect saddle stirrups and other harnesses, but they were directly knocked out by this group of Spartan warriors who played like barbarians!

"Spartan !!"

After the legendary Spartan Janissaries crashed into the opposing cavalry, they jumped off their horses or simply jumped to the next target!

Even the legendary Spartan warrior who didn't hit the cavalry could slash the cavalry on his horse with a short sword and spear!

Many of the legendary Spartan Janissaries also used the spears in their hands as javelins, and after a standard throwing action, a light cavalry must have been shot under the horse!

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the battlefield was full of light cavalry who were constantly falling off their horses and dying tragically, and those legendary Spartan Janissaries were like all of them could deftly avoid the impact of the horses!

The shouts of Sparta resounded on the battlefield of the left flank!

Li Liguo smashed his eyeballs on the ground, repeatedly confirming that he was on the battlefield and not watching a martial arts action blockbuster......

No wonder Li Liguo was shocked, the performance of these legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard soldiers is especially a martial arts master!

Li Liguo thought of the cornices and walls, and thought of the return of ten thousand swords......

Well, of course, it's not that exaggerated, but it was indeed a one-sided massacre on the battlefield, and this massacre was not based on the collapse of the other party, but completely on the condition that the value of personal force was not equal!

Under the continuous jumping and slashing of the legendary Spartan Praetorian Guard, those light cavalry were completely crushed like mowing grass!

There's no way to fight.,The muscular men on the other side are almost two meters tall when they jump up.,Fart!!

Seeing the tragic situation in front of them, many light cavalry behind them pulled the reins of their horses vigorously, and they had to stop charging, oh, by the way, they stopped sending them to kill these perverts!

It's a pity that the cavalry wants to stop the horses, and the running and stopping with people are two concepts, and when the frightened light cavalry behind finally turned the horse's head, those legendary Spartan Janissaries who were flying like a flight had already rushed up, and there were more than a plurality of accurate throwing spears before them!

The light cavalry on the left flank was completely annihilated in less than half an hour of contact battle!
