I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 83 The Battle of Arcelos (3)

Rumble-

The barbarian chariot rushed into the battlefield crazily, running quickly against the stone bullets projected by the heavy equipment deployed behind the Macedonian army. After the barbarian chariot entered the battlefield, the operators immediately targeted them and concentrated their firepower Throw rocks at them!
"Speed ​​up! For the God of War Adlibek!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The barbarian nobles on the chariot were not afraid. They raised their javelins high and let out a terrifying battle cry to boost their momentum.But this does not prevent them from being killed by stone bullets. A chariot was hit by stone bullets falling from the sky while running. The horses of the chariot didn't know what happened behind them, and they were still running desperately until they were shot down by a salvo of Macedonian light infantry in front.

"Stop advancing! Prepare to throw your spear! Prepare to throw your spear!"

After running to a white line, the Greek skirmishers who met the enemy in a loose formation stopped under the shouts of the officers. They looked at the approaching barbarian chariots with fearful eyes, and slowly raised their hands. javelin--

"projection!"

After hearing the order, the Greek stragglers hurriedly threw their javelins at the oncoming barbarian chariots, then hurriedly took out the second javelin on their shields, turned around and retreated, hundreds of javelins they fired Arcs were drawn in mid-air, inserted in the queue of the running barbarian chariots, but most of them were shot in the air, only a small number of javelins happened to hit the drivers and soldiers on the chariot, or directly hit the running barbarian chariots. The war horse neighed miserably, speeding up crazily with pain.

After being attacked, the noble warriors on the chariot immediately fought back. They threw their raised javelins at the running Greek skirmishers, and then pulled out a second javelin from the leather bag hanging on the railing in front of them. Javelin, take aim.

Compared with the projection of Greek skirmishers, the javelins thrown from barbarian chariots are more accurate. When a Greek javelin soldier was running, he was pierced by a javelin falling from the sky behind him, and the whole person was nailed to the ground. It spewed out and dyed the ground below him red. Seeing the tragic death of his comrades in arms, the young soldier beside him was frightened and froze. fly.

It didn't take long for the chariot troop to fight furiously, urging their horses to increase their speed, completely ignoring the abrupt white line on the ground. Just as they approached the white line, the vision suddenly changed!The horse running at high speed trampled on its front hooves and got stuck in a small round pit. The horse immediately lost its balance, neighing and fell forward, and the chariot behind it also lost its balance. The chariot troops turned their backs, dozens of chariots overturned and disintegrated, and the momentum of the chariot charge was stagnant!
Beyond the white line is a large number of horse traps that Antigonus prepared in advance to deal with the barbarian army. Antigonus originally planned to dig a long and wide trench and fill it with sharp wooden stakes, but later changed his mind to let the army Taking the initiative to attack, Antigonus was afraid that he would accidentally injure his own people, so he canceled the decision. At first he saw that it was the barbarian infantry attacking, and thought that it would be useless for the horse trap, but he did not expect that it would actually come in handy !
The barbarian chariots were in chaos because of the trap. The Greek javelin soldiers immediately returned and raised their sinful javelins again to shoot at the chariot troops. The chariot troops in chaos could only watch the rain of javelins falling on their heads. , shooting the people on the chariot and the horses.But soon, the chariot troops rushed out of the trap area. They angrily drove their horses again and killed the Greek skirmishers. At the same time, the barbarian infantry continued to advance amidst the sound of horns, gradually closing the distance between the two sides.

Rumble-

Seeing the barbarian chariots chasing them, the Greek stragglers hurriedly embarked on the road of escape again, but this time, without the help of traps, they were quickly chased up. The car rushed into the crowd and killed the surrounding Greeks with the blades mounted on the horizontal axis of the wheels.The sharp and bright blades rotated rapidly and easily tore the unprotected lower limbs of the Greeks exposed to the air. Amidst the heart-piercing screams, several javelin soldiers had their calves cut off and were still running The people in the middle fell to the ground immediately, and just as they uttered a few screams, their bodies were crushed by the wheels, and their heads exploded instantly like watermelons that had been hit hard, and the red, white liquid All over the place.

Although these Greek javelin soldiers were extremely light infantry and ran very fast, they were ultimately not as good as four-legged war horses. They were quickly killed by the chariot troops that rushed into the crowd. If this is in the game, then their status bar must be: Military morale is shaken.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Charge! Let our chariots crush everything!"

The arrogant voice of the barbarian warriors spread into the quiet Macedonian phalanx, and entered the ears of every soldier in the front row, making them all look angry. The centurions standing on the right faced each other through their upright spears. They looked at each other and reached a consensus with their eyes. Immediately afterwards, they shouted loudly together: "Line up, move forward!"

beep-

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Shouting the same slogan, the soldiers who received the order immediately stepped forward in neat steps, following the phalanx flag waved up and down by the flag-bearer. Seeing that their own phalanx began to move, the Greek skirmishers who were shattered seemed to be watching. As if he had reached hope, he ran forward desperately.Seeing that the Macedonian phalanx actually dared to take the initiative to attack, the barbarian chariots immediately gave up the defeated troops and rushed towards the phalanx instead!

"Ready to meet the chariot!"

The centurions roared loudly, and the phalanx under their command immediately stopped advancing, lowered their raised spears, and pointed directly at the barbarian chariot troops charging towards them. The latter felt their scalps tingling when they saw the densely packed spears. Hemp, but now it is impossible to turn around and retreat. They can only drive the chariot towards the passage left between the phalanxes, and taking this opportunity, the light infantry deployed in the phalanxes rush came out and threw javelins and stones at the barbarian chariots, destroying several more chariots at that time.

After the barbarian chariots rushed into the passage between the phalanx and the phalanx against the long-range firepower of the Greeks, they thought they could escape from here, but they didn't expect that there was another thin gun formation at the other end of the passage. The chariot troop had nowhere to go, so they had to bite the bullet and rush forward, but the horses' natural fear of sharp objects made them slow down and stop before hitting the spears.And at this moment, countless Macedonian light infantry rushed out from both sides. They threw down their horses and killed them, or climbed into the chariot, dragged the barbarian warriors off their horses, and brutally killed them!

After the hundreds of barbarian chariots were thrown into the battlefield, they were like a stone falling into the vast sea. They only caused weak waves, but quickly returned to calm.
