Chapter 133: The Death Zone
Baseleus was called the "Macedonian God of War" by the Macedonians! This name full of honor made the Eighth Legion also given the title of "Golden Armor". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Eighth Macedonian Legion was undoubtedly a formidable army, especially their most prestigious "Macedonian phalanx", which once made such a fierce enemy as the steppe people deeply feared.
But at this moment, in the face of the resistance of more than 10,000 Macedonian troops, Su Ya's heart suddenly moved! She didn't believe that she would lose, and there was no reason not to fight this battle, even Perry and Ronktor smelled the weakness of this strong army!
No matter what the Macedonians calculate, with only more than 10,000 Macedonian soldiers, even if they take advantage of the terrain of the mountain pass, they will not be able to stop the more than 60,000 horses of the Northwest Army! Even he Barcelus, even the so-called "golden armor" can't stop it!!
"Perry, Ronktor, each of you led 5,000 cavalry from the two flanks of the Macedonian army, and 20,000 cavalry infantry were mixed into the main attack force, led by me personally!
The remaining two legions are controlled by their respective commanders, who are responsible for receiving and rearing with the queen, and if there is any change in the Macedonians, they are ready to move at any time!"
Su Ya, dressed in military uniform, sat on a horse and looked at the Macedonian formation from a distance, her heart moved, and she continued:
"Also, if the two of you break through first, you can enter the valley corridor first, but don't rush out or divide your troops, just gather the troops and intelligence of the various counties in the valley. Macedonians are a group of beasts, which can only be worn out little by little, and cannot be pushed too hard, after all, beasts that are besieged to a desperate situation will always show a bit of ferocity......"
In the Macedonian camp in the distance, Baseileus was also looking at this huge army, his expression was cold, and his slender eyes were almost narrowed into a long line, but the killing aura in his eyes did not diminish at all.
"Division?"
Barcelus's eyes lit up, watching the changes in the Bright Empire's army, but the look on his face did not change in the slightest.
This Moxi army did not let the cavalry charge as soon as it came up, but it divided the cavalry, probably in order to bypass the mountain and outflank it. Is the rest of the tens of thousands of people crowded over? Is the mountain pass so big......
Sure enough, the main force was also divided into two parts, the front army was still a mixed formation of cavalry and infantry, and in the end the cavalry was still used as the vanguard, and the remaining tens of thousands of people should be the reserve troops of the rear of the palace.
Such a complete and thorough deployment, I'm afraid it should be the little girl of the Ellios family who commanded the troops, right? Hmph, a woman is a woman, the tactics are more than rigorous, and the strategy is not strange!
Thinking of this, Baseileus couldn't help but sigh in his heart: if it was the old Duke Ellos who was playing against him, would he see through his own reality?
10,000 infantry against 60,000 soldiers and horses of Moxi was more difficult than the war to exterminate the steppe people back then! But he had to do this, and the task after the break was to block and shed blood!
Although Barcelus is proud, he will never be so stupid as to underestimate the enemy! On the battlefield, often the prouder the person dies faster! He is waiting, waiting for Falusi's statement, Falusi will certainly not sit idly by and watch him be besieged by the Moxi army! Of course, he will shed blood, but if His Royal Highness the Third Prince refuses to come out with a little blood, I am afraid he will not be able to say it!
He knew very well the temperament of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, even though he was now regarded as the person of the Great Prince, but Falusi needed himself. To return to Macedonia smoothly, he can only rely on himself, after all, out of the valley corridor, but there are still thousands of miles of Geerqin steppe!
Falusi is a smart fellow, he will at most let himself be cut off and consume a little of his own strength, but he will never let himself fall into a crisis! The letter asking for help has been brought back to Sadland with the former army, and he has brought the supplies back, leaving only 10,000 people to block the army of Moxi, this is the statement of Barcelus! Now, it is the turn of this highness to show his sincerity!
However, even Barcelus would never have thought that His Royal Highness the Third Prince was already a cold corpse at this moment......
At noon, the first battle between the two sides began!
Perry and Roncodo launched the first wave of the Moxi Army's offensive, and the cavalry led by the two men was tens of thousands, and at this moment, when they joined forces, the momentum was even greater! Tens of thousands of horses galloped forward, like a torrent of steel, rolling up the dust that rushed to the sky.
The thousands of Moxi cavalry under the command of Long Keduo were each armed with a spear, iron armor and iron helmets, and they were very well equipped. The cavalry struggled forward, and in the distance they saw the array of the Macedonian army, and many of the cavalry couldn't help but roar loudly!
The tens of thousands of cavalry under the black pressure rushed towards the Macedonian army with a crushing momentum, and at this moment, the main attacking army in the rear also rushed in, the horn of the charge sounded, and the sound echoed in the mountain pass for a long time!
Perry and Roncodo, under the escort of the personal guards, led hundreds of cavalry to rush to the front!
From a distance, thousands of Macedonian soldiers were neatly lined up in the huge mountain pass. There were about two hundred of these soldiers in the row, and about forty in the depth, and the number was easy to see. Nearly 10,000 Macedonian soldiers are lined up at the front of the mountain pass in two huge square formations at this moment!
And so it was......
The most prestigious formation of the Golden Armor of Macedonia!
The Macedonian soldiers of the Eighth Legion were like neatly arranged chess pieces on a chessboard, densely arranged in two huge phalanxes. Shockingly, each of these soldiers was carrying a huge spear resembling a cavalry lance, which was apparently a Macedonian special phalanx spear!
The spears in the hands of these soldiers were obviously specially made weapons, each spear was five or six meters long. Such a huge spear needs to be held by Macedonian soldiers with both hands, and the tail end of the spear is even equipped with an iron counterweight to stabilize the balance, and the spearhead is cold and cold, pointing directly at the Moxi cavalry in front!
Each Macedonian soldier was armed with a scimitar and a round shield behind him, and the soldier in the center carried a longbow on his back in addition to a spear, which was obviously a group of archers and spearmen!
Looking at the Moxi cavalry that was rushing towards him, an officer in the Macedonian phalanx shouted in a rough voice, and the soldiers at the front of the phalanx bent down one after another, maintaining a half-squatting posture, and aimed the spears in their hands at the front. And the soldiers in the second row directly put the spear in their hand on the shoulder of the soldier in the front row, and the end of the spear was firmly inserted into the ground!
Suddenly, the first two rows of dense spears were aimed at the cavalry in front! The long spearheads almost firmly protected the Macedonian soldiers within the range of the spears.
It is conceivable that if the Moxi army wants to attack the Macedonian soldiers behind the spear, it must break through the five or six meters long spear!
There is no doubt about the way to break through this spear phalanx:
Only the flesh and blood of the cavalry can be used to break through the five or six meters of death zone!!! )
