Chapter 134: Killing
Beyond the mountain pass, eight thousand Macedonian soldiers formed two huge phalanxes, and thousands of spears were densely pointed at the Northwest Army in front!
Perry sat on top of his horse, his hands trembling with his spear clenched, and an inexplicable excitement welled up in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Macedonian phalanx!
The Macedonian Eighth Army, a strong army known as the Golden Armor, finally showed the most perfect form of war in front of him!
Although there was only a formation of less than 10,000 people, in the face of the fierce cavalry of the Moxi Army, these Macedonian soldiers not only did not have the slightest timidity, but their eyes were undisguised with a bit of eagerness!
Seeing that the cavalry at the forefront was almost about to hit the spearhead of the Macedonian soldiers, the soldiers at the front of the phalanx had secretly clenched the spears in their hands and were ready to withstand the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry in the northwest!
In the next moment, hundreds of cavalry stormtroopers smashed into the Macedonian phalanx like black raging waves!
The first two rows of soldiers in the phalanx were under tremendous pressure at the moment, and the charging force of the war horses was very huge. But the phalanx only loosened slightly with the first wave of charges, and then stabilized its position like a rock.
The Macedonian soldiers at the front of the phalanx were all burly and powerful men, and there were even a few guys with a faint gray light, indicating that these people were at least warriors who had mastered the fighting spirit!
The cavalry charging on the side of the Northwest Army seemed to fall into hell!
In the first wave of the charge, hundreds of cavalry and horses crashed directly into the sharp spearheads of the spearmen. Under the huge impact, the cavalry didn't even have time to react, and they were directly pierced through their bodies by spears! The originally sturdy armor was easily pierced in front of the spears like paper! Blood gushed out, and the war horses were also pierced by spears, and in just the first wave of charge, hundreds of cavalry were harvested and killed by Macedonian spears!
Suddenly, the roars of the men and horses became messy, and the follow-up cavalry also collided almost at the same time, and the casualties were even heavier!
The cavalry regiment of the vanguard of the Northwest Army turned on their backs, but their fierce and brave temperament aroused the ferocity in their hearts, and they rushed forward as if they were not dying! Although the follow-up troops had already sensed the danger and slowed down one after another, tens of thousands of cavalry were still behind, and the crowded formation would inevitably affect the actions of the cavalry!
Perry was also in front, and naturally saw this scene, he couldn't help but tremble violently in his heart, and his face suddenly became cold:
"The cavalry regiment listens to the order, points!!"
A loud slogan sounded in the mountain pass, and the noise of tens of thousands of horses was suppressed!
"Rush up from both flanks!
Perry roared angrily, and a silver fighting aura suddenly erupted from his body. Guarded by his own soldiers, he took the lead in bypassing the two huge phalanxes of the Macedonians and directly attempted to surround the two phalanxes!
In the center of each phalanx there was a team of officers in charge of commanding the military array, and at this moment, seeing that the Northwest Army gave up the charge and wanted to surround the phalanx, they were not afraid at all, but they all roared loudly with excitement!
"Attention all, defensive formation!"
A Macedonian officer shouted, and then the military order was passed out layer by layer, and the outermost soldiers heard the order, and raised their spears in their hands outward, and then slowly contracted their formation. In the end, all the outermost soldiers still follow the formation of the frontmost soldiers. The soldiers of the first row remained in a half-crouch and held their spears high, while the soldiers of the second row rested their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row, while holding their shields high in their hands to prevent the cavalry from close quarters. The soldiers, who had already killed and wounded the cavalry, and whose spears could not be withdrawn, simply retreated to the second row, and then the soldiers in the back row immediately took his place with new spears.
Su Ya blessed a magic in the distance, and the situation on the battlefield was naturally clear, seeing that this Macedonian phalanx was indeed amazingly powerful. Not only is the advance and retreat orderly, but the various formations are skillfully used, and the offensive and defensive transitions are free, obviously an elite that has been sharpened after many actual battles!
The golden armor really lives up to its name!
In the rear of the Macedonian phalanx, three thousand heavily armored cavalry stood in a jungle on the edge of the mountain pass. As the only cavalry regiment in the Eighth Macedonian Army, this corps was responsible for covering and supporting the advance of the phalanx!
In fact, many people do not understand the so-called Macedonian phalanx, and only think that it is a regular spearman, and then simply form a combat phalanx according to a certain formation.
In reality, however, the opposite was true, and the Eighth Army did have spearmen armed with spears as a standing army. But beyond that, the Macedonian phalanx is not just a simple phalanx of pikemen, but a mixed army of spearmen, heavy cavalry, light infantry and archers!
All the members of this cavalry regiment are from the eastern Macedonian wilderness, because of the proximity to the steppe, the way of life of these Macedonians is closer to the nomadic life of the steppe people, and the cavalry formed also has strong combat effectiveness!
This cavalry regiment was formed in the early days to fight against the iron cavalry of the steppe people. But in practice, Barcelus gradually discovered that the sheer lethality of a combination of combined units is amazing. This army has become the strongest combat force to assist the phalanx attack.
Barcellus was at the front of the team at the moment, and he sat down on a tall black war horse, which was thick and powerful on all fours, and it was not ordinary at first glance. It's just that Barcelus watched from a distance as the main cavalry force of the Northwest Army rushed towards the phalanx, frowning slightly.
The Macedonian general named Salul next to him obviously also saw the movements of the Northwest Army, and couldn't help but snort coldly with disdain on his face:
"Hmph, these Moxi people are really stupid! They even used cavalry to charge our phalanx, and even the steppe people didn't dare to attack our phalanx face to face, this group of northwesterners...... Could it be that their cavalry is stronger than that of the steppe people?!"
Barcelus ignored Salul's words, and only thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying with an indifferent expression:
"The Northwest Army is not a fool, these guys know. The golden armor is the nemesis of the cavalry, and the cavalry is almost fatal to the spearmen in the upper formation! They are not so stupid, the first wave of attack will crush all the cavalry on it!"
"What do you mean, General?" Salul was stunned, obviously looking at Baseiles with some puzzlement.
"Temptation, these guys are just temptation. ”
Barcelus's eyes were full of coldness, and he suddenly glanced at Salur beside him, and asked thoughtfully: "Is there any reinforcement from the direction of Sadrand? ”
Salur shook his head and said with some confusion: "There is no news in the direction of Sadland, but under normal circumstances, the scouts must have brought the news." As for the accident, except for a few chaotic troops outside the pass, there should be no major resistance, why there is no definite news yet, but the subordinates don't know. ”
Barcellus shook his head, although he didn't say anything more, he couldn't help but feel a little strange emotion in his heart: what is this Highness Pharausi thinking in his heart?
Baseiles looked at the Northwest Army on the battlefield, his eyes were full of coldness, and a somewhat gloomy look appeared on his face:
"Since His Highness Faluxi has been delayed, we don't have to wait any longer! )
