Although the Persian army returned to normal due to the arrow that hit the leading Macedonian king, their enemy's morale returned to normal levels after a brief fluctuation, so they still could not stop the steady flow of troops crossing the river to join the battle.
Among the Macedonian soldiers, bows and arrows became more and more sparse, and the war began to enter a war of attrition.
"No matter how much the author likes to make up the number of words, he can no longer write anything now."
He covered his head with one hand and made a pained gesture, and held a long sword with a shocking width in the other hand to knock the enemy away. He said it in a pose that made people look like he was flying away.
It makes people want to shoot him away even more.
"Yeah, I also think I underestimated the lower limit of IQ of those Persian generals."
The fundamental reason why Li Shushi's pose that was ridiculed by the crowd was not shot away is that the pose of Zilong Tongxie here attracts more hatred than him. Of course, the lethality is also much higher. After all, the eight-foot-long snake spear can be pierced.
, even with one hand.
It can be said that Zilong Tongxiao, who has always spoken more elegantly, can speak such "vicious" language. It can be seen that the command of those Persian generals is really unbearable for Zilong Tongxiao. Of course, if those Persian generals have done any other command
words.
The king who regretted that he was not hit by an arrow in his knee completely ignored his wounds and continued to attack - in fact, this does not require much courage, because of the special laws of this world, just a recovery spell is enough
Heal any wounds on all the people who are not dead. As the king of a country, it would be extremely surprising if there are not some life-saving medical officers around him, or unless he runs too fast,
Lost traces.
Therefore, the joint "assassination" operation carried out by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun under the order of Li Shushi not only boosted the Persian army slightly and made the king remember some of the "barbarians" that made him angry in his eyes.
It doesn't have much use outside. After all, it seems that advanced technologies like tiger charms and talismans haven't been born in this illusion yet, so it's still a bit difficult to kill instantly.
However, if the commanders of the Persian army can take advantage of the temporary improvement in the morale of the Persian army, not to mention efficient command later, even if they make mediocre command, they will at least cause a lot of trouble to the Macedonian army that has just crossed the river. Half-crossing
As for the generals in the Central Plains, as long as they are not stupid or pedantic guys like Song Xianggong, they are basically familiar with it.
But what made the six-person group from the land of the Art of War hundreds of years later face-palm together was that the three governors of the Persian Frontier Province, who were the highest commanders of the Persian army, actually rushed out from the layers of protection of the Persian army. It seemed that they were going to
The posture of fighting against that king - of course, it is the posture of three governors fighting against one king, that is, the posture of three heroes fighting against Lu Bu...
Didn't you make a mistake? Since you knew three versus one, why didn't you just command the soldiers to surround the king who was at the forefront and beat him to death? Why did you have to go up there yourself?
Well, if you have the strength of the four powerful men around Li Shushi who have over 95, each of them can be called a generation of fierce generals, after all, this can be regarded as an ancient beheading operation, but one by one, they were killed by the tall man
The mighty king was seconds away from the sword, but the other one couldn't survive three sword blows, and the last one wanted to take it.
A sneak attack with a short gun, but the loyal general of the king took advantage of the attacker's inattention and counter-attacked and took off the head. What's going on? If they were all killed in less than a minute, it would be better to go to the southeast branch to hang yourself. Is there anything that can kill yourself?
Hanging on the southeast branch, it is also a technical job. Children can't get up, is there any chance?
You really can't afford to be hurt when you meet a teammate who gives you life like this!
Sure enough, personal heroism kills people. Those who have the strength to pretend to be X, such as the king opposite, are really awesome. Those who are not strong enough to pretend to be X, such as the three Persian commanders including a prince-consort who just had their heads chopped off, are really...
Silly X.
It is said that the incompetence of one general affects the three armies. Let’s not talk about the command level of the three commanders who sacrificed their lives (there is basically no chance to show it). At least one of the three can give the army a backbone, but the three
Everyone was soaring in one day, and the army didn't know whose command it should listen to.
In fact, it would be too derogatory to say that this Persian army had no one. Even without the six unexpected "non-staff" personnel like Li Shushi, Mennon from Rhodes alone seemed to Li Shushi to be quite a general.
His demeanor, and the performance of the Greek mercenaries under his command on the battlefield was far better than that of the Persian regular army.
Even though the Persian army, which is a regular army, is on the verge of collapse, the Greek mercenaries are still fighting. This seems strange, but it is a true story, because the Greek mercenaries are clearly placed on the front line.
If they do not fight to the death, even if the Persian soldiers can retreat safely, it will be difficult for them to escape the iron hoof of Macedonia.
Of course, another reason why the Greek mercenaries were so tenacious was because they saw the dawn of victory.
Yes, even in such harsh circumstances, these mercenaries still saw the dawn of victory...
"My lord, aren't we being too pushy by doing this? Isn't it enough to just hold on to the defensive line?"
"Liang Dao, if you were accompanied by four guys with strong fighting skills, you would make the same choice as me."
Li Shushi could only smile bitterly in response to Xiao Jia Kui's question this time.
Perhaps because they were irritated by the look from the previous Macedonian king, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun seemed extremely excited, especially Zhao Yun. Although it was a bit inconvenient to use the eight-foot-long horse girdle without riding a war horse, he still liked to use it when faced with
The Macedonian phalanx with spears actually became an advantage because
Because of the need to cross the river, the opponent was not equipped with the super long spear that was 25 feet (Han feet) long. Instead, although the length was still the same, it was slightly shorter than the Zhangba Snake Spear in Zhao Yun's hand and shorter than Lu Bu's.
The Fangtian painted halberd in his hand and the slightly longer spear formed a Macedonian spear phalanx.
Therefore, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu disrupted the spears thrust at them from the front of the phalanx. Dian Wei and Xu Chu then used the small halberds and featherless arrows in their hands to kill the enemy and further disrupt the order of the phalanx. Li Shushi and Xiao
Jia Kui followed the four
Behind him, he used spells and strategies to further destroy the enemy's phalanx, and at the same time commanded the mercenaries around him to further expand the gap opened by the four fierce generals until the entire hastily formed phalanx was completely torn, divided, and strangled.
Although there is always a feeling of being tied up in a fight, the foursome on the battlefield are definitely like a meat grinder, especially after experiencing the battle at Wusun Prince's Mansion and the group fight, several people privately
There is also a summary below, so the cooperation between each other has been greatly improved - it is true that there is improvement only when there is stimulation.
Of course, although such a breakthrough caused the Macedonian Right Army to waver and even nearly collapse, it still could not play a fundamental decisive role in the battle situation. In other words, since the three commanders who overestimated their capabilities chose the wrong response,
In this way, it can be said that there is no possibility of changing the outcome of this battle - unless the Persian army has large-scale reinforcements.
Do the Persians have any reinforcements?
Although the territory of the Persian Empire can now be reached from the Near East to northern India, the Macedonian attack did not attract too much attention from the Persian King Darius III. After all, in the previous hundreds of years, the Persian Empire's invasions of Greek city-states were met with failure.
It was a ruthless beating, but it was as if after the end of World War II, Japan had always felt that no matter what China became, it would still be a country where a single company could defeat a division or even an army. No matter how much attention it paid to China, it was still filled with arrogance and disdain.
Because of this understanding, the Persians felt that sending the same number of soldiers and horses as the enemy was considered to be very important to the enemy, not to mention that there was a distinguished prince-in-law among the commanders, which was definitely a great favor to the enemy.
Of course, it is unknown whether the Macedonians would think so, but I believe that the king would be very angry about this.
However, the problem at hand is that the Persian regular army without the support of new reinforcements has collapsed under the heavy blows of the Macedonians, especially when they saw the king who showed off his mighty power and killed the two governors, they lost what was left.
A little fighting spirit.
"There are some enemies who cannot be underestimated. Parmenion, I leave this place to you. Don't give the Persians any chance to breathe. Completely defeat them. I'll go and meet the group of people who jumped out of nowhere.
Guy."
It has to be said that the King of Macedonia is always a very unexpected guy, and he is also a madman eager to fight. Perhaps if his unexpectedness is combined with his desire to fight, the former will become understandable, because most people
Most of the time, the king's thinking mode was based on war, rather than as a politician.
As a result, Li Shushi soon discovered that his retreat seemed to be in danger of being cut off.
No, it should be said that it has been cut off. The execution ability of the king and the troops around him was astonishing. Li Shushi had just discovered the other party's intention, but the other party was already overwhelming and almost completed its set goal. Although there were many
The morale of our side is low, the soldiers no longer have a common goal, and there are a lot of gaps that can be exploited, etc., but being able to complete an assault from the center of the battlefield to the flanks almost instantly on the battlefield, the partner cavalry may indeed be worthy of its name.
At the same time, because Lu Bu and others had to stop the attack to prepare for possible attacks, the originally shaky Macedonian right wing had a chance to breathe, and the appearance of the Macedonian king greatly improved their originally sluggish morale.
, and seemed to intend to work with their Majesty the King to attack this group of mercenaries led by Li Shushi, who had disgraced them.
Although the decision to give up and continue the attack was a bit hasty, Li Shushi originally believed that their challenge target in this level should be the King of Macedonia, so it was not unacceptable even if he put himself in a quite dangerous situation.
What Li Shushi didn't expect was that when they actually came face to face with the king, the king said something that surprised them a little.
"Your performance is quite heroic, completely different from those barbarians in Persia. Are you willing to become my subjects and share with me the glory of conquering everything?"
PS: My condition is much better today, but I still feel a little top-heavy...
