Chapter 139: Bloody Battle
The heavy cavalry of the Macedonians poured up layer by layer like a black wave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEvery time you charge, you will shoot a wave of blood!
The Central Army is facing the siege of 3,000 heavy armored cavalry at this moment, and in the melee of thousands of people, the cavalry has no formation at all.
Baseleus led hundreds of heavy cavalry into the flanks of the Central Army, and then closed again, dividing the thousands of cavalry into three small groups of hundreds of men. Under tremendous pressure, the cavalry had already abandoned their horses, almost back to back, facing the Macedonians who were pouring in like a tide, with a cold and cruel death in their eyes.
The battlefield was filled with the sounds of fighting and screaming, the sound of cold spears piercing armor and blades cutting through flesh, mixed with countless screams of struggle and miserable wails, could be heard from afar......
After Perry led the rest of the cavalry to break through the Macedonian lines, hundreds of Macedonian cavalry immediately followed from a distance from the rear. The battlefield behind him was full of shouts of killing, but the 3,000 heavy cavalry did not pursue Perry, but only made a defensive posture.
Barcelus's attitude was also very clear: the Macedonian cavalry did not expect to be able to completely annihilate the 5,000 cavalry regiments of the Central Army, but they must eat the more than 1,000 people who were surrounded.
In fact, Perry has no more power left to stop these guys.
He was well aware at the moment that his task was not to encircle the Macedonians. Although Barcelus's golden armor is strong, it will never be able to stop the main force of tens of thousands of the Northwest Army. Originally, the plan was to join forces with 10,000 cavalry of Longkedo to block the Macedonian reinforcements, so that Su Ya could draw his hand to defeat this golden armor of more than 10,000 people.
But at this moment, only with his own 3,000 cavalry to break through, the plan may not work.
Thinking of the five thousand cavalry he brought out from the empire, he didn't suffer much damage in the more than a year of war in Moxi. But in the first battle against Barcelus, he lost nearly half, and such a defeat made Perry's heart can't help but bleed!
Not only that, but Barcelus also forced himself to give up the opportunity to rescue, such a blow is undoubtedly a great shame for Perry!
But as a soldier in the empire, and even more so as the leader of this cavalry, he had no choice but to make a choice! The cavalry that rushed out was almost exhausted, and the encircled Central Army was too small in number to form an effective charge!
Although the main force of the Northwest Army outside the pass had already engaged the Macedonian spear phalanx under the command of Su Ya, the Macedonian army occupied the advantage of the terrain, and the Northwest Army could not engage in the main battle. The small battlefield and the insistence of the golden armor made it difficult for tens of thousands of troops to break through the Macedonian army's defense line for a while.
But the advantage is still on the side of the Bright Empire, and the huge number gap is undoubtedly the biggest hole card of the Northwest Army!
Now the hearts of the generals on both sides are clear, whether it is Barcelus or Su Ya, they are waiting!
Barcelus is waiting for reinforcements from Falusi, while Suya needs time to wipe out the broken Macedonian army so that she can concentrate on a decisive battle with the main Macedonian force in the valley corridor!
If the Macedonian army arrives first, the possibility is that the two Macedonian armies will merge, and the Macedonians, who have the advantage in terrain and numbers, only need to hold on to the valley corridor and can calmly withdraw their troops from the northwest.
If Su Ya defeated this broken Macedonian army first, the main force of the Northwest Army could drive straight in. Not only can it take advantage of the situation to recover the urban land in the valley corridor, but it can also cause great deterrence and pressure on the main force of Macedonia!
It's just that what the situation of the Macedonian army in the valley corridor is now, not only Suya is difficult to know, but even Barcelus is unknown.
However, a guy with a proud temperament like Barcelus will naturally not hesitate because the main force is not available. On the contrary, not only did he not shrink his forces to hold on, but in the face of the siege of tens of thousands of troops of the Northwest Army, he still calmly fought against each other, and even planned to eat a cavalry team of the Northwest Army.
However, such a posture made the Northwest Army unable to see through the reality, and even Su Ya was a little suspicious. After all, Barcelus's name is too loud, and against this kind of guy, even the most impatient guy can't help but be cautious, let alone Su Ya?
I'm afraid that the Macedonian army in the valley corridor is already mobilizing, which is why this Barcelus is so fearless!
This is what the vast majority of generals of the Northwest Army think at this moment.
But after Perry's breakthrough was successful, he did not hesitate to rush into the direction of the valley corridor. Since it was already difficult to create any encirclement for Barcelus's heavy cavalry, Perry would never give up this opportunity to investigate the situation.
Three thousand cavalry poured out of the battlefield, Perry's expression was complicated, and he didn't even look back at the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Central Army on the battlefield, gritted his teeth and issued a military order: "All obey the order and march towards the valley corridor!"
After saying that, the young knight's face was full of coldness, and he almost forcibly suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart, and galloped forward on his horse. The rest of the cavalry were all sad and angry, seeing their former colleagues and comrades-in-arms surrounded by enemy troops, shouting and killing one after another, but they had to grit their teeth and kick the horses in the stomach fiercely and run towards the river valley......
And at the very end of the battlefield, the cavalry regiment of nearly a thousand men had been divided into three pieces by the Macedonians. The cavalry of the Central Army fought hard to assault, but they were surrounded by Macedonian heavy cavalry. In front of it was a heavy cavalry strangulation like steel, and in the rear was blocked by Macedonian phalanx spearmen, and the central army that was protruding was no longer able to turn back to support, and the main force behind it was also cut off by Macedonian spearmen!
The cavalry was like a beast in a trap, and they fought so hard that the cavalry had jumped off their horses and fought head-on with the Macedonians who kept coming forward. But they had dried their blood, their voices were hoarse, and they had exhausted the last of their strength, but they were still like a pond of mud, and it was difficult to struggle!
The horsemen dismounted, drew their swords and fought fiercely with the enemy, and then fell one by one, and the formation of the ranks became more and more sparse, but not a single one surrendered. The desperate cavalry knew very well that the final moment had come.
Although the leading officers fought hard and tried to organize the scattered cavalry to resist. But in the face of the enemy's swords and spears like a forest, and the surging attack like a tide, he can only make a last fight like a trapped beast.
The Macedonians were clearly determined to eat this cavalry!
Although the Northwest Army in front had begun to attack the phalanx of spearmen, the Macedonians looked at the dwindling Central Army, and the Macedonians were like crazy. More and more soldiers poured forward, the heavy cavalry could not dismount, and almost all of the 1,000 light cavalry were thrown into battle.
The Macedonians had swords and spears in front of the Central Army, and the formation of the heavy cavalry was like an impregnable wall, and even if the cavalry hit their heads and bleed, they could not break through even a gap! )
