I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 45

The front line is still fighting, but the situation is still not optimistic. On the left flank of the Macedonian army, where the [-] Thracian spear throwers were deployed, they were besieged by barbarians several times their own. Antigonus showed their loyalty and bravery, but was forced to retreat.

When the Thracian commander sent his bloodied guards up to Antigonus, the philosophic man understood his neglect of the left flank, on which there were only five hundred Thracian throwers. The spearmen and the useless Greek raiding cavalry are nothing more than the troops. It is very difficult for this force to block thousands of enemy troops and not be broken through until now.

The Thracian who came to report did not know that Antigonus had no reserve team in his hands. Apart from the light infantry led by the Cretan archers, he could only mobilize ten companion cavalry around him.He looked at the right wing and the central army who were still fighting fiercely not far away, and then at the barbarian light infantry who had joined the melee not far away, gritted his teeth, and ordered all the light infantry to follow him to rescue the left wing.

At the same time, he sent a knight to find Cronus who led the barbarian cavalry away, and ordered him to rescue the left wing immediately. His system did not have the function of small map or ordering from a distance, so that He still knows nothing about the results of Kronos' battle.

What about Kronos?
He was not at ease with the barbarian cavalry, so he ordered the Aguilian axemen to rest where they were, and he himself led the cavalry under his command to chase the rout soldiers all the way until the rout soldiers fled into the forest.He looked at the panting horses under the crotch of the cavalry, sighed, ordered the horses to be fed, and went back after a rest.

Because they were far away from the battlefield, they didn't know what happened on the main battlefield. When the knights sent by Antigon found them after all the hard work, they knew that something was wrong.

Fortunately, the knight had already contacted the resting Agyrian axemen before finding them, and ordered them to return to the battlefield to assist the left wing in the name of His Majesty the King, otherwise things would have been even more difficult to recover.

After learning about the battle situation on the main battlefield with the knight, Kronos immediately ordered the whole army to return to help, fearing that something might happen to His Majesty the king, so they moved faster than usual.

Meanwhile, Antigonus had reached the left flank with light infantry, and following his orders, the archers and javeliners fired all their remaining ammunition at the barbarian army on the left flank, which was suddenly struck by arrows, When he was caught off guard, he was shot down, and the offensive stalled.Seeing the arrival of the reinforcements, the Thracians who had been struggling until now, their morale was greatly boosted, and they pushed back abruptly, but it was only for a while. After the barbarians reacted, they were shot again retreat.

Antigonus noticed that the Greek raiding cavalry originally deployed here could only wander outside the battlefield, throwing a round of javelins at the battle group from time to time. People dare to let them be wiped out in a short period of time.

However, it was impossible to just watch the Thracian spear-throwing soldiers being defeated. In desperation, Antigonus could only let the light infantry under his command pull out their secondary weapons and join the battle group to share the pressure on the Thracian comrades. He wanted to take part in the battle himself, but was stopped by Agnes. Needless to say, Antigonus knew that he was opposed to taking the risk himself—the so-called gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall.

While the light infantry drew their swords and charged, the central army suddenly burst into cheers. Antigonus subconsciously followed the prestige, and saw a man in a Greek-style linen breastplate whose body was pierced by a sarisa spear, and his whole body was shot Raising it high, the pupils in Antigonus' eyes trembled suddenly, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, but when he took a closer look, he was relieved. The man was not a Macedonian, let alone a Greek, but a A ferocious barbarian face!

As soon as the body held high by Sarisa's spear appeared, the central army and the barbarian army on the right immediately rioted, and their morale plummeted. Antigonus squinted his eyes and concluded in his heart that the dead guy must be a high-level barbarian coalition army. Otherwise, if only one chief died, it would be impossible to cause such a commotion.And at this moment, Antigonus noticed a large cloud of dust suddenly rising in the direction not far away, moving towards here at high speed!
"What's that?" he asked.

No one answered him, because a few seconds later, several flags of the painter Vagina Sun of the Kingdom of Macedonia appeared in the sight of everyone who discovered this scene. It was the Macedonian cavalry who had disappeared for a long time!

"Cavalry! It's cavalry!"

"Our cavalry is defeated!"

"My God, what are they trying to do?"

The news that the Macedonian cavalry appeared behind him quickly spread throughout the barbarian army like the plague. Risha's spear stabbing to death only hurt their morale, so the Macedonian cavalry appearing behind them and being able to surround them from the rear at any time is enough to make them lose their fighting spirit!
Kronos, who was riding the horse, didn't know what the barbarian army was thinking. He fixed his eyes on the precarious left wing, raised his thoughts and spears high, and roared: "Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! For Antigonus!"

"For Antigonus!"

The knights shouted loudly, and their voices spread to the barbarian army, causing a larger-scale commotion. Many tribesmen had already started to retreat, trying to take the opportunity to escape from the battlefield.

Cronos soon discovered all this. With his rich experience, he immediately ordered his cavalry to be divided into two groups. One group would support the left wing with him, and the other group would cooperate with the belated Agyrian axemen to join the center and right wing. barbarian army.

Rumble-

The sound of hundreds of cavalry running together seemed to hit the hearts of the barbarian warriors. The uneasy fear also affected the barbarian troops on the left. Although the Macedonian light infantry joined the battle in time, they still could not restore the Macedonian defeat on the left. , However, now, the Macedonian cavalry has returned in time to support, and victory does not seem so easy!

"Speed ​​up! Charge! Charge!"

Seeing the left-wing barbarian army getting closer and closer, Cronus roared to the sky again. As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry cavalry and Sarisa cavalry beside him put down their lances together, increased the speed of their horses to the fastest, and launched the most violent attack. Charge, and on the opposite side of them, the barbarian warriors already had a premonition of what would happen next, unable to withstand the huge psychological pressure, they screamed and fled in all directions!
In the next second, hundreds of shocking cavalry collided with the self-defeating barbarian army with overwhelming momentum. These frightened barbarian soldiers were unable to withstand the impact of the Macedonian cavalry. They were either knocked down by the horses or pierced by super long spears .After piercing the corpses of several enemies, the knights gave up their lances in time, drew out their secondary weapons and slashed left and right. Like a sharp blade, they directly tore apart thousands of left-wing barbarian troops!

In the Chinese army, the barbarian army that lost its commander was also doomed in the face of front and back attacks.
