The battle of the pass continued into the evening, when the last charge of the North-Western Army was held back by the Macedonian spearmen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and I was afraid that there would not be much to gain if I continued to attack, the horn of retreat sounded in the position of the Northwest Army.

Barcelus held his sword and watched with a grim expression as the last cavalry of the Northwest Army withdrew from the battlefield, and a burst of cheers erupted from the Macedonian position beside him.

The Macedonian soldiers were all exhausted, many were wounded, but their morale was still high, and they roared with excitement and vented their emotions frantically!

In this battle, both warring sides paid a considerable price.

In the Northwest Army, Perry's cavalry regiment of 5,000 men broke through with a small half, and it cost almost the lives of thousands of cavalrymen in order to smash the Macedonian spear phalanx and heavy armored cavalry. The subsequent troops of nearly 1,000 people were also intercepted by Baseileus, surrounded by 3,000 heavy cavalry, and were almost completely annihilated!

Such a serious loss has almost crushed this central army, and if it were not for Perry's prestige, such a setback, I am afraid that the morale of the army would have been chaotic long ago.

The subsequent frontal attack on the Macedonians by the main force of the Northwest Army did not take much advantage, and Perry's breakthrough made it difficult for Loncodo's Moxi cavalry to get close. As the main cavalry of the Northwest Army, the five thousand men of the First Cavalry Regiment were not sent by Su Ya.

After all, the special formation of the Macedonian phalanx is too much restraint on the cavalry, and since the plan for the cavalry to break through has failed, no matter how much cavalry is invested, it will only be a loss in vain.

You must know that even in the western frontier of the empire, such as the northwest, cavalry is quite an expensive type of troops. The total number of military cavalry in the entire Moxi is only one or two hundred thousand, and if they are all placed on attacking the Macedonian phalanx, I am afraid that even a few cavalry generals of the Northwest Army will not agree.

The infantry corps undertook the task of breaking the Macedonian phalanx! Under the command of Su Ya, the main army of more than 20,000 people launched an offensive against the Macedonian phalanx in batches!

The narrow terrain of the mountain pass gave the Macedonian phalanx a great advantage, and the Northwest Army could not put the main force into a full-scale attack on the Macedonian phalanx, so it could only be forced to organize the soldiers in batches and rotate into battle.

More than 10,000 soldiers from both sides have thrown themselves into the battlefield, and so many soldiers have blocked the mountain pass almost impassable. Except for the positions of the two sides fighting at the front, it was difficult to accommodate any other forces, and even Barcelus's heavy cavalry was difficult to move forward.

However, in this way, the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Central Army besieged by Baseiles also fell into a desperate situation!

After half a day of fighting, the elite cavalry unit of the Central Army was almost completely annihilated, and the Macedonian heavy cavalry also paid a lot of price in the face of their hard work.

By the time the Northwest Army retreated, the narrow mountain pass was almost full of corpses. In the most tragic place of the fighting, the originally dry land has been soaked with blood all over the ground and has become muddy!

The infantry corps of the Northwest Army launched a total of three charges, all of which were carried by the Macedonians with near-mortal resistance.

Su Ya and the Moxi Army also saw the quality of this golden-armored army for the first time.

Compared with the ordinary Macedonian army, the soldiers of this team are well-trained, almost all of them are brave warriors, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not below that of the Northwest Army, which is known for its fierceness.

The Moxi army had advanced the battle line several times, but it was pressed back by Barcelus's cavalry regiment! In particular, Barcellus was almost handy with the coordination of cavalry and spearmen.

Coupled with a powerful coach like Baseileus, in several charges of the Northwest Army, he simply repelled the offensive of the Northwest Army with his own strength. The red fighting spirit exuded by his body is undoubtedly a powerful martial art, and with the three thousand cavalry under his command, it is like an extremely sharp knife, cutting off the offensive of the Northwest Army again and again!

After several setbacks in the Northwest Army, with more than thousands of casualties, it slowly shrank its forces and sent the wounded soldiers off the battlefield. The other party almost fought to the point of bleeding, and only then temporarily rested and recuperated.

Although the Macedonians repelled the offensive of the Northwest Army, their own losses were also very heavy.

The original 8,000 soldiers of the two phalanxes suffered less than half of the casualties, more than 1,000 of the phalanx spearmen were killed, most of the remaining soldiers were also wounded, and more than half of the spearmen of the two phalanxes were killed or wounded, so they could barely make up less than 5,000 soldiers.

Barcellus sat down on the horse of the god steed, and he was already panting from exhaustion, and he didn't know how much blood was stained on his own body and sword. Of course, most of this bloodstain was left by the enemy, and his heavy cavalry undoubtedly played a huge role compared to the Macedonian phalanx that was facing the Northwest Army head-on.

It can be said that if it weren't for the 3,000 heavy cavalry led by Baseileus, I am afraid that the thousands of archers and light infantry in the Macedonian phalanx would have been killed by the Northwest Army. As the main lethal arm of the auxiliary phalanx, these 3,000 cavalry took on tremendous pressure. Although it successfully ate more than 1,000 Central Army after the break, in the subsequent battle, it almost faced the attack of the main force of the Northwest Army.

The 3,000 heavy cavalry suffered a small half of the casualties, and nearly 1,000 were killed or wounded. But after the battle, Barcelus learned that most of these dead and wounded cavalry were killed by the Northwest Army because they were shot down and dismounted. In fact, the Macedonian heavy cavalry was covered in heavy armor, and although the defensive effect in the melee was significant, it also meant that the mobility of the cavalry must be sacrificed.

But there was no way around it, and in order to bring the main force back to Sadland as soon as possible, Barcelus only left more than 10,000 soldiers behind. Originally, according to his assumption, even if His Highness Faluxi acted unreliable, he would never sit idly by and watch himself against the main force of the Northwest Army.

But what Barcelus didn't expect was that the main force had been off for three days, and there was no news from the valley corridor!

At first, Barcelus was a little suspicious, but it was because His Highness Falusi knew that he was too close to the eldest prince and deliberately suppressed himself. Wait until you suffer a little and consume your strength with the Northwest Army, and then come to your aid calmly?

That's why he deliberately transferred the main force back to Sadland, with only his more than 10,000 soldiers, it is more than enough to protect himself, but it is definitely impossible to block the tens of thousands of main forces of the Northwest Army. Knowing that he was powerless to resist, he naturally couldn't consume much of his own strength, although this move seemed a bit redundant.

But who is he Barcelus? The Macedonian god of war, the commander of the golden armor, is naturally extremely proud. Not to mention that Falusi wants to calculate himself, even the leaders of the big tribes and nobles in those powerful kingdoms have never been cowardly!

Although the Northwest Army had tens of thousands of soldiers, he dared to use more than 10,000 soldiers to fight, not only in a kind of dissatisfaction with Faluxi, but also with a bit of arrogance in his heart.

Since the Macedonian army pressed the border, it can be said that it has been victorious, and in less than half a year, it has taken the four counties outside the river valley pass. The Northwest Garrison is also a group of weak guys, and most of the troops that can fight a little are concentrated in the pass, although they have also fought a few times, but they are all some painless small fights.

But all people will always be affected by emotions in their hearts, even if they are experienced in a hundred battles, such as a general like Barcelus, there will be times when their minds are active. After all, after a year of victory, there were almost no decent defeats, from soldiers to generals, there was a faint sense of arrogance in this golden armor!

Even if I only have more than 10,000 soldiers, with the momentum of my golden armor, I can still stop the tens of thousands of troops of the Northwest Army!

This is not so much a coercion of Farousi as it is Barcelus's confidence in himself! )
