I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 59 Beheading
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"For the king!"

"For the king!!!"

Amidst the thunderous battle roars, the Macedonian cavalry and the barbarian cavalry collided head-on. At the moment when the cavalry collided with each other, nearly a hundred Duretica cavalry were knocked away by the powerful impact, screamed and jumped into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. , and the stirrups used by the Macedonian cavalry were fully effective at this moment, and only dozens of cavalry fell off their horses.The spears of the cavalry were broken under the terrifying collision force, and there were sounds of broken bones and broken arms in their flesh and blood bodies.

However, the horrific charge did not end. The horses and cavalry on both sides were still galloping in their respective charging directions. Horrific scenes of horses whizzing past and cavalrymen being pierced by spears continued to appear on the battlefield. Let out the most horrific hissing sound.

Under the impact of terror, no matter which side you belong to or what your identity is, there is only one dead end. Some cavalry were trampled by other horses after being knocked over and fell off their horses, and their bodies were directly trampled into meat sauce and blood. The deformed viscera and organs were squeezed out and sprinkled all over this barbaric and bloody battlefield.

After the cavalry of the two sides collided with each other, the remaining cavalry immediately fell into a frenzied killing. The Macedonian cavalry could perform more actions with their stirrups, so they also gained the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, and quickly killed the barbarian cavalry.

On the other side, the Macedonian cavalry who were attacking the barbarian war chiefs were unstoppable. Under the leadership of Cronos, they raised their Sarissa spears and ran into the infantry guards who came to stop them with overwhelming force!
Under the desperate eyes of the barbarian infantry, the five or six-meter-long Sarissa spear shattered their shields with that powerful impact, and then penetrated their bodies. After the spear pierced through their bodies, the Macedonian cavalry immediately He let go of the lance in his hand, and drew out the Kopis scimitar stuck in his waist to chop left and right.

The charge of the Macedonian cavalry was so terrifying that all the infantry in their path were knocked over, dragged under the horses' hooves and trampled wantonly, and finally turned into an unknown object mixed with flesh and steel.Some of the infantry who were not knocked down tried to fight back, but were chopped down by the Copis scimitar that followed. They screamed and fell down holding the wounds gushing blood. A Duratika warrior ducked and shot towards him. The scimitar slashed at his neck, and the spear in his hand thrust out fiercely, piercing directly into the abdomen of the Macedonian cavalry who tried to attack him, causing him to fall off his horse and die.

After the cavalry fell off their horses, they were trampled under their feet by the horses that came up behind them, and the Douretica warrior did not escape the fate of death. The sharp Kopis scimitar directly cut off the His arm then swiped upwards, leaving a hideous wound on his neck, and blood gushed out like a fountain, like a rain of blood from the sky.

The formation formed by the barbarian pro-guard infantry hadn't even lasted a few seconds before it was mercilessly dispersed by hundreds of Macedonian cavalry. The Macedonian cavalry not only broke up their formation, but also crushed their fighting spirit. No one Being able to maintain their fighting spirit after being charged by the cavalry, they looked at the corpses of their comrades-in-arms all over the ground, and chose to turn around and run away without hesitation, leaving their commander-in-chief to the enemy.

Even so, they still couldn't escape. The blood-stained Macedonian cavalry shouted fiercely, brandishing their weapons and beheading the fleeing barbarian guards from behind.Kronos ignored those rout soldiers who looked like bereaved dogs, and directly led a few cavalry towards the barbarian war chief who had seen the situation and fled. He caught up with him in a few steps, and then he raised his knife and fell, a good head He flew into the sky, and fell to the ground with blood raining all over the sky, with a look of fear and despair on his face.

Seeing the death of the war chief, the surrounding barbarian slaves suddenly became confused and fled in all directions, trying to take this opportunity to regain their freedom. However, Cronos had no energy to pay attention to them. He backhanded the totem flag of the Duretika people beside him. He cut it off, then turned over and dismounted, walked to the head of the war chief, picked it up, inserted it into a spear that fell on the ground, and raised it high, hoping to be seen by the barbarian infantry who were caught in the fierce battle.

At the same time, the Macedonian cavalry that drove back the barbarian cavalry also rushed over. Seeing this, Cronus handed over the spear to the cavalry on the side, stepped on the stirrups to mount the horse, pulled out the sword at his waist, and pointed at the horse from afar. The infantry battlefield still in the melee in the distance shouted: "Charge! Defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The cavalry roared loudly, and the military consul who followed them galloped. The formation of more than a thousand cavalry running at the same time made the ground tremble. Their movements quickly attracted the attention of the barbarian infantry. The barbarian warriors who were fighting hard saw a large group of cavalry rushing towards them, and their faces turned pale with fright. Then they also saw the ferocious head of the war chief stuck on the spear, and immediately understood what was going on.

Everything that followed was so logical. After discovering that their commander was dead in battle, these barbarian infantry had no fighting spirit, and they left the battle formation one after another, fleeing in all directions. A large number of defeated soldiers appeared on the battlefield that was still fighting fiercely. , the barbarian side was defeated across the board.

Seeing this, there was no need for Antigonus to issue orders. The Macedonian soldiers on the front line cheered and marched forward, chasing and killing the fleeing barbarians. The Macedonian cavalry also rushed into the crowd with a rumbling sound. Slashing from left to right, with a knife in hand, they chopped down one after another of the barbarian routs. Many of the cavalry who knew the common language of the barbarians shouted loudly to surrender and not to kill. Soon, the whole battlefield could be heard everywhere. the sound of.

After the Macedonians yelled words to persuade them to surrender, the fleeing barbarian infantry knew that they might not be able to escape, so they could only choose to surrender bitterly. They fell to their knees, discarded their weapons at will, and waited for Macedonia The soldier stepped forward and tied himself up.

……

Until the evening, all the prisoners of war were taken away, and they were imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp together with their Salo neighbors, and the results of this battle came out soon. There are only 150 seven people. Facts have proved that in the face of advanced weapons and equipment and superior discipline, the brave and fearless barbarians can't get any benefits at all, especially when the military strength of the two sides is similar.

On the other hand, on the barbarian side of Duretika, more than 600 of them died in battle (many of them were the record of Macedonian cavalry), more than 5000 were captured, and countless people escaped or disappeared.It can be said that this army has been wiped out.
