I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 86 The Battle of Arcelos (6)

"Attack!"

"Sons of Hercules, attack with me!"

The right wing of the Macedonian army, following Antigonus' loud roar, more than 800 cavalry rushed out like a flood, and behind them, more than [-] Agirian axemen followed, hiding in the In the dust brought up by the horses running!
After developing the saddle and stirrups, Antigonus was able to boldly ride on the horse and lead his troops to attack. He held the reins tightly with both hands, and rushed out of the right wing of the legion under the protection of his partner cavalry, and killed the barbarians who attacked them. Cavalry and chariot troops. Compared with the Macedonian cavalry force, the cavalry of the barbarian coalition army is obviously superior in number. They have more than [-] barbarian cavalry and more than [-] chariots. Killed, but this one facing the Macedonian cavalry still has the advantage.

When the cavalry of the two armies ran, the ground trembled, and the infantry of the two armies in the fierce battle was also affected. They watched the upcoming battle between the cavalry anxiously, because it was related to their infantry. destiny.

Rumble-

In the formation of the Macedonian cavalry running, Antigonus looked at the barbarian cavalry less than 100 meters ahead, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, he turned to look at Cronus not far away, and made a gesture of dividing troops to the other party , the latter reacted instantly and nodded towards him. In the environment of the galloping horses, they could only hear the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and could not hear the sound from a distance——

Immediately afterwards, Antigonus took out the general's horn hanging from his waist, put it near his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and blew it vigorously, only to hear a dull horn sounding in front of the Macedonian cavalry formation, and seventeen hundred cavalry soldiers were divided into two groups , led by the king and the military consul, attacked the barbarian cavalry flank, and just after they divided the troops, the Agile axemen hiding behind them were exposed in the sight of the barbarian cavalry!
"Throwing javelins! Free fire!"

Swish, swish, swish - the Agyrian axemen exposed to the sun threw their javelins at the barbarian cavalry with all their strength. The barbarian cavalry rushing at the front only felt a large black shadow rising into the sky. After a few seconds, densely packed... The javelin fell into the cavalry group and shot the unsuspecting barbarian cavalry into disgrace.The high-speed war horse was hit by a projectile, and then it lost power and fell to the ground following the inertia. The cavalry on its back was also thrown heavily and flew away, losing the ability to continue fighting.

A round of volleys fired by the Aguilian axemen directly interrupted the continued charge of the barbarian cavalry, causing them to fall into chaos. At this time, the light infantry rushed up and drew the second javelin from behind the shield, and made a run-up. Throwing out the second javelin, the Macedonian cavalry who outflanked its two wings also took the opportunity to turn around and charged the chaotic barbarian cavalry-the barbarian chariot troops were far behind the barbarian cavalry because of their cumbersome characteristics. People were able to find the opportunity to deal with the barbarian cavalry rushing to the forefront first!
"Charge with me! Zeus is with us!"

Amidst the heart-piercing roar, Antigon drew his sword from his waist and pointed it at the barbarian cavalry in front of him.Behind him, more than [-] Macedonian cavalry roared loudly, leveled their long lances, and launched the most violent charge against the enemy!

The next moment, the two armies collided, and the cavalry several meters long pierced into the body of the flanking barbarian cavalry one step at a time. The huge impact even caused the cavalry to disconnect from it. After the cavalry was disconnected, the cavalry let go instantly. Break the handle, pull out the secondary weapon, rush into the army formation, and meet the enemy hand-to-hand!
Relying on the speed and strength of the horse's charge, Antigonus swung his dagger, and cut off the arm of the barbarian cavalry standing in front of him with one blow. He has undergone special training, but his body is still too fragile after all, and it is difficult for him to adapt to the intensity of the battlefield.

Even so, Antigonus still has to personally lead the army to attack. As long as his king's flag is flying on the front line, the soldiers under his command will be motivated and fight the enemy bravely. Even if the enemy is several times his own, he will not be afraid!

Seeing that Antigonus took the lead in beheading an enemy, the cavalry around him cheered loudly, and their fighting spirit soared. With the convenience of stirrups and saddles, they slashed left and right at the surrounding enemies without fear of falling off their horses, and the barbarians who fought with them The movement of the cavalry is limited, and they dare not move too much during the battle.It was quickly killed by the Macedonian cavalry and the Agile axemen and suffered heavy losses.

But just when the barbarian cavalry was about to be completely defeated, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the sky, and then countless arrows fell from the sky and fell into the battlefield during the fierce battle. The attack caused Antico to turn his head quickly. It turned out that the barbarian light infantry had rushed to support at this time, and the barbarian chariot was only a few hundred meters away from them.Antigonus shrank his pupils, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "Partner cavalry, follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drove his horse and left the battlefield first. The companion cavalry guarding around him also left the battlefield in an orderly manner. past!
However, they were soon discovered by the barbarian archers. These light infantrymen quickly turned their arrows towards the Macedonian cavalry running towards them. The next second, a round of black arrows flew towards the Macedonian cavalry. Antigonus' pupils shrank. He took the lead to untie the shield hanging on the side of the horse's belly and held it in front of him. Just after he raised the shield, several arrows hit his shield, making him break out in a cold sweat.

"Speed ​​up! Follow me!"

Antigon turned his head to look at his fellow cavalrymen behind him, and shouted loudly. However, in his sight, several cavalrymen were hit by arrows with their horses because they did not raise their shields in time, and fell to the ground while running. On the road, life or death is uncertain.

"Damn it!" He cursed secretly, then turned his head, looking at the barbarian archer not far away, his eyes were full of anger!
Seeing that the Macedonian cavalry was getting closer and closer to them, the barbarian archers couldn't care less about continuing to shoot. They screamed strangely and turned around to retreat, but how could two legs outrun four? , The Macedonian partner cavalry rushed into the crowd like sharp knives and easily tore them apart.Antico, who rushed to the front, cut off the head of a fleeing barbarian archer with red eyes and used the Siphus short sword. Feeling the feeling of blood gushing out and raining on him, Antico was in a trance It took a while, but it quickly returned to normal.

"Kill! In the name of Zeus, kill them all!"

Antigonus roared angrily. Under the violent charge of his partner cavalry, the barbarian archers collapsed at the touch of a touch and were brutally slaughtered...
