Chapter 154: The Enigmatic Alexander
What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers, although the team led by Qi Qi is a patrol and defense reserve. But under the leadership of Qi Qi, these are bloodthirsty killers. On weekdays, in the process of patrolling, there is no shortage of things to do to rob houses and houses.
Of course, the Chinese did not dare to plunder. However, the Huns or Yueshi and Qiang people are no problem. Captain Zuo once sent people to Pingliang several times to complain. The guy who committed the crime was the 500 people brought by Qi Qi. As for those Qiang and Yueshi people, they simply have no way to sue. Uncle Qiqi is not an existence they can afford to provoke.
Although Qi Qi is strong, he is not stupid. A large spear several meters long was held there, and he would stick it himself into it unless he was crazy.
In this world, some people are born with a well-developed military nerve. It's like Qi Qi, after observation, he found that although the phalanx of these yellow-haired guys is powerful. But their spears were forward, and they were unusually long. A frontal assault is not good, and a flank assault also seems to be difficult. Those spears always had a column facing the side, although there were not many of them. But the cavalry rushed forward and the casualties were definitely not small.
Riding the giant horse of the Don River under his crotch, Qi Qi took the man around in a big circle. He is ready to attack the back of the Macedonian phalanx!
If it was in the past, Qiqi would have died and could not die again.
The Macedonian phalanx is a military formation that is very similar to that of a modern army. Usually sixty-four armoured men form a platoon, one hundred and twenty-eight men form a company, two hundred and fifty-six men form a battalion, one thousand and twenty-four men form a regiment, and four thousand and ninety-six men form a division (i.e., the primary phalanx). The primary phalanx, like a modern division, is a self-contained multi-arm combat unit, with the exception of heavy infantry. Also included (at full strength) two thousand and forty-eight lightly armed shieldmen. One thousand and twenty-four auxiliaries and one thousand and twenty-four cavalry regiments. Eight thousand one hundred and ninety-two in all. Each combined phalanx consisted of four primary phalanxes, equivalent to a small corps or field army in modern times, with about 32,000 men. This was the typical formation of Alexander's expeditionary force.
But now, the cavalry and auxiliaries in the back have been almost consumed. Behind the Macedonians, there is simply no cover. Qi Qi led the people to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of running away, and finally circled behind the enemy army, and it was close to noon at this time. The battle had been fought since the early hours of the morning, and had been fought for two hours. Both sides of the battlefield were sleepy. From the heavy infantry at the top, to the archers at the back. The physical strength has reached the limit!
Poor Qi met no resistance, and he raised his mace with a sinister smile. Although there were only 500 cavalry, these 500 men stabbed the Macedonians in the back like a dagger.
The mighty Don horse roared and rushed into the phalanx, and the poor mace smashed around. The Macedonian infantry had an irreparable weakness, and that was the inability to fight in close combat. Rushed in by these five hundred people, the most marginal phalanx was routed almost instantly.
The Macedonian phalanx was like a chain of iron that was connected one by one, and now Qiqi had broken one of the rings. Next, the domino effect unfolds. One phalanx after another began to crumble. The brave Greek warriors also began to abandon their weapons and flee for their lives.
Alexander was slashing with the guards of the Ao Canghai. Suddenly, a "friend of the king" grabbed Alexander and pointed back. Alexander the Great, who had crossed Europe and Asia, froze, his invincible army was being defeated. A small number of enemy cavalry is desperately pursuing. The phalanx, which was supposed to confront the enemy only head-on, was not protected on the flanks. It was rapidly collapsing, and phalanxes burst like soap bubbles.
"Your Majesty! Hurry up and retreat! "Luca has been with Alexander. Everyone knows that this battle is lost. But as long as Alexander remained, the war was not over. They now occupy all of India, West Asia, and Greece.
With a year or two of preparation, Alexander could have returned with an even larger army. Avenge today's arrow!
"Luca, we can't go back. You think, let's go back like this. Indians, but also Persians, Egyptians...... Will they still submit to us? Our empire will quickly fall apart, and I don't want my head to be hung at the gates of Alexandria for passers-by to see.
Come on! My friends, raise your sword and fight bravely. It is our fate to die in battle, let iron and blood witness our fate!
The warrior will not show his backbone to the enemy! After saying that, Alexander broke free of Luka's hand and rushed towards Yun Yue's location with an iron sword. Behind him, the True Arm of the Apollo Guards chanted. Following His Majesty the King, they rushed out together. Only half of them are left, and they are determined to die to drag Ao Canghai.
Ao Canghai was shocked when he saw this situation, and there were only more than 100 people around Yun Yue now. It's not the opponent of these difficult guys at all, no matter what, Yun Yue can't have anything, he is the backbone of the entire Yun family.
"Protect Master Hou!" Ao Canghai swung his sword and slashed through one of the Apollo guards beside him, drew his bow and arrow, and shot at Alexander's horse.
Alexander's strong armor Ao Canghai was taught, and his arrow was shot at Alexander's war horse. Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, as long as the coach falls off the horse. The subordinates will definitely come to the rescue, and the entire charging formation will be chaotic in an instant. By the time they recovered, they would have chased after them.
The arrow was shot at a very tricky angle, and the wolf's tooth shot into the horse's neck like a poisonous dragon. Alexander's horse neighed in pain under his crotch, and his front hooves were raised high and he stepped twice into the air. Then he galloped out like an arrow off the string!
Poor Alexander the Great, he was thrown off the back of his horse by his own warhorse. In a hurry, just one foot flung off the noose under the saddle. The other leg was hanging on the horse, and he was dragged by the mad war horse and galloped across the grassland.
The armor on his body was getting hotter and hotter, and the burning sensation made him feel painful. The weeds on the ground scratched his face and hands, and bursts of burning pain came from all over his body. The Apollo guards behind him rushed desperately to rescue Alexander, but Ao Canghai had already chased after him with people.
The arrows were constantly being fired, and all of them were not people but horses. More and more Apollo guards fell from their horses, and in the end there were no knights left. There were only the madly galloping horses, and the screams and wails of the warriors who dragged them.
After this battle, Yun Yue spent a lot of effort but did not find Alexander's body. Some say he died, others say he lived and hid incognito. No one knows where this conqueror of Eurasia has gone. (To be continued.) )
