Yang Yuan began to line up after the opponent's action, he stood on a two-meter-high cart, the front and flanks of the cart had planks to resist arrows, and Yang Yuan could observe the surrounding battle situation, and then even adjust the formation.

If Yang Yuan had an inexplicable pride after putting out this formation now, now he had a kind of pride in his heart, that is, there were a thousand violet cavalry in front of him, and he would have the confidence to fight. Because Yang Yuan found that Ying Zihan had always taken a fancy to his Yulin army and didn't care about other armies. Otherwise, the previous Northern Army and Violet Cavalry Battalions would not have been abolished directly. Another reason for this, of course, is that the Yulin Army was trained by Ying Zihan himself.

However, this also stimulated Yang Yuan's fighting spirit, and he wanted Ying Zihan to know that his Macedonian phalanx army was also a strong army, and it was also an army no worse than the Yulin army.

If one looks from above, the Macedonian legion maintains its characteristic formation and strength, and nothing can resist its dash or face to face against it.

Each person in the front row will have the tips of five spears sticking out before him, each three feet ahead of that.

In those sixteen columns, those who were behind the fifth, could not play an active role on the battlefield with their spears. So instead of laying their spears flat at the enemy, they pointed their spears upwards at the sky and rested them on the shoulders of those in front of them. In this way they protected the entire phalanx from above, and because the spears were so dense, they could crotch any throwing weapons that fell on the heads of the soldiers in the front row, and hit those who were immediately behind them. Once the sprint begins, the men in the back rows increase their kinetic energy with only the weight of their bodies, making it impossible for the soldiers in the front row to turn back. Therefore, Yang Yuan arranged the front five rows of people to be soldiers who were not afraid of death, and the army behind them couldn't run even if they wanted to run on the battlefield, and there was no such thing as a rout.

As for what Ying Zihan said before, Yang Yuan canceled them when Ying Zihan sent the violet cavalry over. In his opinion, Ying Zihan is just talking on paper. Of course, this is also because he is Ying Zihan's father-in-law, if he is replaced by someone else, at least Ying Zihan will report it.

Since the complete version of the Macedonian phalanx had many auxiliary infantry and cavalry, now that the number was not enough, Yang Yuan put two hundred heavy cavalry on the flanks.

At the same time, Alger also came with his cavalry, and Alger stopped at 300 meters from the opposing phalanx. Although he was a little arrogant, he was not stupid, and found that the opponent's weapon was very long. Alger was amused, but he couldn't laugh when he saw the violet cavalry on either side. However, the Violet Cavalry had been fighting in the Silverplate Kingdom in the southern part of the empire before, and although it was famous, it was not enough for Alger to turn around and flee in fear. In order to prevent being surrendered when he was about to charge the battle, Alger sent two ensigns with two hundred men each to flank and harass them, and if the other party only embroidered pillows, he would not mind the assist becoming the main attack. Alger led the remaining 600 cavalry to charge from the front.

The distance of 300 meters is just enough for the horses to reach their maximum speed, and the impact will be at their maximum, and even the hoplites can crash into the air.

Alger on the horse was amused as he looked at the spears of the enemies in front of him, several meters long. If the opponent is just an ordinary infantry formation, he may be a little more cautious, afraid that the casualties will be too great. Now, as long as he pays some casualties and rushes into the battle, these people are lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and their weapons are not even as good as burning sticks. It's just that Yang Yuan will let him rush into the formation?

Two hundred and fifty steps... Two hundred steps... One hundred and eighty steps, one hundred and fifty steps... Yang Yuan silently counted the distance of this cavalry in his heart, and when he reached one hundred and fifty steps, Yang Yuan said loudly: "Archers prepare." ”

"One hundred and twenty steps to shoot, put. Yang Yuan yelled.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. The three rows of archers in the back shot arrows in turn with a breath of time, and then began to shoot arrows again.

The sound brought by the arrow breaking through the air is naturally familiar to Alger,

"Dodge, disperse," Alger shouted, hiding under his horse, of course because of his skillful horsemanship. It's just that some of the people behind him didn't have such good luck, and more than two dozen people were shot in the vital point or the horse, and then they fell off the horse... There are still some people who have not been shot and still grit their teeth and hold on, because there is no way out for them.

At a distance of one hundred and twenty meters, only three arrows could be shot, and then the archer threw the longbow aside and picked up the Qin crossbow in his hand.

By this time Alger had already arrived in front of the Macedonian phalanx, but he found that his sword could not cut through the soldiers with spears. (Embarrassing, as far as the shadow area of Alger's heart is concerned.) )

So fortunately, he was superb in riding, and he instantly abandoned his horse and rolled to the long bottom, so he escaped. It's just that his horse and men were not so lucky, and they were directly loaded on the spear and then pierced.

It's just that the same wooden spear body was also broken, and there were very few spears that could remain intact, which immediately gave the cavalry behind a chance.

"Qin crossbow, release," Yang Yuan ordered loudly, and in an instant, a rain of arrows fell, shooting countless cavalry and some unlucky ghosts in the Macedonian phalanx. (Just kidding? I can't shoot and won't accidentally injure my own army, modern people can't shoot guns, even the first person to die in World War II died at the hands of his allies, if you don't believe it, you can check)

Yang Yuan's face remained unchanged, there were many people who were shot and killed by mistake during training at the beginning, and now these people are not enough to make him feel distressed.

At this time, almost all the soldiers in the front row fled from both sides, and Yang Yuan ordered again: "Macedonian phalanx, advance." ”

"Kill~ah," the soldiers in the middle five rows committed their spears and began to charge, although some of the steps were uneven when running, but it generally did not affect the overall situation. At the same time, the archers stopped shooting arrows to prevent accidental kills.

Alger had just taken advantage of the opportunity for the infantry to escape, but he had lost more than 200 cavalry in that wave of charge, and he immediately blew the horn to let the cavalry on both sides attack.

Then the cavalry on both sides immediately rushed over when they heard the order, and the archers who went around the sides disrupted their camp with three more projectiles, and then the violet cavalry also passed over. The soldiers, who had just fled from the front, also took up arms to protect the flanks of the Macedonian phalanx, appeased by the officers.

Can a hundred violet cavalry defeat two hundred light cavalry? The answer is that I don't know, it depends. However, in this current situation, it is estimated that it is difficult to lose. Occasionally, a cavalry would break through the Violet cavalry and be quickly shot into a hedgehog.

Is cavalry still called cavalry if it has no speed? I am afraid that it is not even as good as the infantry, and the charging Macedonian phalanx directly inflicted huge losses on the enemy cavalry. Seeing this, Alger quickly grabbed a horse and flagged his horn to retreat, losing another part of their cavalry on the way. In the end, he took only more than 200 wounded soldiers. It's just that he took people away and ran away because Yang Yuan didn't have cavalry to chase him, and not many of the two cavalry on the flanks escaped. When Alger fled five miles away to gather the rout, he found that he only had 300 horsemen left, and then fainted angrily.

(The third more, the collection reached 400 plus more.) )
