The cavalry of the Northwest Army seemed to be in hell at the moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of the Macedonians' sharp spear phalanx, the cavalry that took the lead in charging paid a heavy price!

In just one face, thousands of cavalry were killed under the attack of hundreds of Macedonian soldiers. The huge six-meter-long spear completely isolated any cavalry that tried to attack, and even after penetrating the horses and cavalrymen's bodies, there was still a huge space that was difficult for the following cavalry to reach!

However, this also aroused the fierceness of the Northwest Army, many cavalry simply used war horses to impact, even if they were pierced by the Macedonian spear, and the blood flowed at the dying moment, they also frantically threw the scimitar in their hands into the Macedonian formation, trying to attack these Macedonian soldiers hiding behind the spear.

Under Perry's orders, a cavalry regiment of nearly 10,000 men spread out like a black torrent and tightly surrounded the Macedonian army. The Macedonian formation immediately changed, shrinking into a slightly smaller phalanx, still confronting the Northwest Army.

At this moment, the archers in the center of the formation played a role, they picked up the curved bows behind their backs, and under the protection of the outermost spearmen, calmly pulled the bowstrings, and shot the cavalry who tried to approach one by one!

In this way, the Northwest Army had no way to start, and such a situation that could not be encircled and could not be fought made Perry couldn't help frowning. At this time, he keenly noticed that the Macedonians were still consciously shrinking their formations, and a large open space was deliberately vacated between the two phalanxes.

The Macedonian phalanx, which originally numbered several hundred people, seemed a little sparse, and although the Northwest Army was able to invest more troops, it was even more unable to attack these Macedonian soldiers hiding behind spears.

At this moment, there was a trumpet sound of charging in the mountain pass in the distance!

Immediately after that, a large cloud of dusty, thunderous horses galloped, and a group of thousands of Macedonian cavalry rushed out of the mountains and forests!

The number of this cavalry is not large, and there are only two or three thousand people, but listening to this thunderous loud noise, it is like tens of thousands of cavalry galloping like a mountain shook! The sound and vibration of the loud iron hooves when they hit the ground can be felt even by Su Ya outside the valley!

Perry watched from afar as the cavalry rushed out, and his heart was shocked.

The reason why the golden armor has been famous for a long time is that in addition to the extremely high military quality of the Eighth Legion, the commander is the soul of this army!

After all, for an army, even if it has strong soldiers, sophisticated equipment and sharp weapons, it can only play half the role in deciding the outcome of the war. And the remaining half lies in the commander's ability!

This is not difficult to understand, take the golden armor of Barcellus, for example, it is nothing more than a group of strong and brave soldiers, with a special spear phalanx. These conditions are not harsh, and all armies of the entire continent can be equipped with these things. But if the steppe people are allowed to form these phalanxes and encounter the Eighth Legion, I am afraid that they will only have to flee for their lives!

The reason is simple, equipment and weapons and even the quality of the army can be imitated, but tactical strategy cannot be imitated.

The reason why the Macedonian phalanx is so powerful is that in addition to its innovative weapons and formations, what is more important is its commander Barcelus! As the commander of such an innovative army, in addition to his outstanding command ability, Barcelus has invented a series of tactics against the Macedonian phalanx!

The Macedonian phalanx had only been around for a decade, and Barcelus had been in command of the army for about a decade. As a founder and practitioner of tactics, he and the Eighth Army grew up in battle after battle, and for the use of Macedonian phalanx tactics, no one on the continent can match the generals!

Now that the spear phalanx has appeared, the next step is to use elite cavalry to assist the phalanx to charge and kill the enemy!

Perry naturally knew the tactics of this golden armor, but to his surprise, judging from the sound, this cavalry team might have 10,000 people! But looking at the appearance of the cavalry regiment in front of him was only two or three thousand people, the answer was probably obvious:

Heavy cavalry!

These Macedonian cavalry must have been a heavily armored cavalry!

Perry frowned, but it was impossible to retreat at this moment! Nearly 10,000 cavalry had already been invested, and the remaining half was in the rear, and retreating now would inevitably cause chaos in the formation!

Thinking of this, Perry didn't do anything anymore, simply put down the two Macedonian phalanxes behind him, kicked the horse's stomach fiercely, turned his head and ordered the cavalry behind him: "All obey the order, charge with me, and break through the Macedonian cavalry defense line!"

Perry shouted three times in a row, then roared angrily, carried the fighting spirit on his body, and under the protection of the personal guards, a cavalry team of more than 100 horsemen rushed forward frantically!

At this moment, the officers in the Macedonian phalanx saw the support of the cavalry in the rear in the confusion, and their morale was also greatly boosted, and they immediately shouted desperately, desperately pushing the formation outward!

Sharp spears like sharp knives, the two Macedonian phalanxes gathered closer and closer, and the originally large open space was occupied by the phalanx again. The cavalry, unable to resist the pressure of the spearmen, followed Perry towards the pass.

But the Macedonian soldiers did not let them pass smoothly, and under the dense spears like a forest, cavalry were constantly stabbed and fell from their horses. The distance between the two phalanxes has narrowed to the point where there is barely room for ten war horses to pass at the same time!

Nearly 10,000 cavalry were cut off by two phalanxes in this way!

Perry was flanked by thousands of cavalrymen who had broken through, most of them his men in the Central Army. And behind them, the Macedonian phalanx had almost presented a closed situation, blocking the remaining thousands of cavalry, as well as Su Ya's tens of thousands of horses, out of the phalanx!

"Look, my lord, our rear has been cut off by the Macedonian spearmen, and we are surrounded!"

Seeing this, the guards on the side immediately looked at Perry anxiously.

Perry squinted his eyes, obviously seeing this scene as well, but at this moment there were thousands of Macedonian phalanx soldiers behind him, and with his thousands of cavalry, he couldn't retreat at all.

At this moment, thousands of his cavalry are surrounded by Macedonians?!

"Keep rushing!!"

Perry groaned for a moment, then made a judgment on the spot, looked at the cavalry beside him with serious eyes, and then shouted in a loud voice:

"The time has come to defend the honor of the Empire!

Beyond the mountain pass, is the valley corridor of our empire!

Now, Imperial soldiers, draw your scimitar swords and follow me!!"

Perry roared angrily and rushed out first, and the guards immediately followed without hesitation. The remaining thousands of cavalry did not hesitate, and they all rode forward after Perry!

Ahead, there is a torrent of black steel!(To be continued.) )
