MTL - Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece-Chapter 2 The death of Little Cyrus (below)
Clearus looks at the square of the enemy's centrally thicker, and then looks at the enemy's left wing to extend some arrays. Although he fully supported the small Cyrus from the beginning, it does not mean that he will be obedient. He bluntly refused: "His Royal Highness, I think it is better to defeat the enemy's left wing and attack the enemy's middle road. This is more secure."
"I understand Artaxerxes, understand the Persian army, and understand your Greek phalanx! Believe me, my friend, your army will easily defeat the army of Artaxerxes! Artaxerxes is defeated, he has No amount of troops are useless!" Little Cyrus persuaded.
Clearus stubbornly shook his head: "Sorry, Your Highness! I will not expose the flanks of the square to the enemy army!"
Little Cyrus frowned and despised Clearus, but there was no time for him to organize the language to convince the other. As for the forced order, the other party is a mercenary, not his men.
"Well, just do what you said!" Little Cyrus turned the horse's head. Suddenly pull the reins and go to the loop.
........................
When the two armies were about 500 meters apart, the Greek soldiers began to sing the Ares carols and marched forward.
When the songs are finished, they are less than two hundred meters apart.
"Aris!!!" The soldiers shouted in unison and began to jog, and the faster they ran, the faster they ran. The tens of thousands of Greek heavy infantrymen gathered together to "boom! Boom! Boom!..." The footsteps are like the thunder of the gathering energy, and you need to use lightning to break through the dark night!
The Persians on the opposite side seemed to be completely frightened by the torrent of steel in front of the sea. As the Greek army got closer and closer, except for a few hobs, the carriages rushed straight into the Greek army, accompanied by screams, twisted and broken limbs, and finally disappeared into silence. Others forgot to throw arrows because of fear. Forgot the vertical shield.
When the two armies were more than a dozen meters apart, the Persians collapsed and they turned and fled.
The Greeks did not expect the victory to come so fast, and the energies that had not yet been vented were more aggressive pursuit of the enemy.
At the beginning, the captain like Hilos also repeatedly reminded his teammates: "Keep the formation, don't run too fast! Keep the formation..."
In the end, the team completely ran away, and all the Greeks were in the pursuit of excitement.
.....................
The little Cyrus in the middle of the road did not expect that the victory of the right wing would come so fast, and there was some worry at the moment.
"The King of Cyrus, Long live!!!" The attendants have begun to wield a spear and shouted victory.
"His Royal Highness, are we going to follow suit?" Artapatus asked him.
He shook his head and stared straight at his left front.
He knew very well that only by killing that person would he be able to win the supreme crown.
"Transfer! Let the left wing of Alijos stop moving forward and prepare for defense!" Little Cyrus immediately issued an order. He knew very well that the most powerful unit of his own is the Greek mercenary. Since the Greeks have already repelled the enemy's left wing, he does not need to rush to make the left wing with less troops than the enemy to hit the enemy's right wing. In case of a quick defeat, this battle can be troublesome. It is better to delay the time and wait for the Greek mercenaries to chase after the collapse, so the victory is ten.
However, while he patiently waited for the enemy to come up, the other's middle road stopped moving.
Soon, his face changed.
Because the enemy's middle road began to split into two parts, of which the left part turned left to the left.
"Not good! They want to attack the Greeks!!" Altapatus shouted.
The Greek heavy armored infants who were scattered because of the chasing of the army were likely to fall into chaos if they were attacked by the enemy from the rear, and the situation would be reversed.
"Alta Xerxes, how dare you convert the formation on the battlefield, I really thought that I have fewer cavalry, I dare not take the initiative to attack!" Little Cyrus sneered, and made a quick decision. He raised his spear and pointed forward: "Command the right wing to accelerate! The cavalry attacked me!!"
"His Highness, please wear a helmet!" The attendant was busy handing his helmet, and the little Cyrus had already come out, and the left and right attendants rushed to catch up, and soon he was guarded in the center.
More than 800 cavalry formed a wedge-shaped array, flying straight toward the Persian king.
The commander of the Persian Middle Road, Altagos, did not expect the small Cyrus to dare to attack at this time, and hurriedly adjusted the cavalry to attack. However, at this moment the team is changing. The array of mighty infantry in the rotation blocks the passage of the cavalry. It is hard to squeeze out thousands of cavalry from the array of cracks. The fast Cyrus cavalry has already reached the front.
A group of people shouted the horse, and the cavalry defense line that the Persian army rushed together was instantly torn open.
Then, the small Cyrus cavalry slammed into the back of the troops that turned U-turn in the middle of the Persian Kings.
The little Guru is brave and has once hunted the black bear alone. The objects are gathered together, and the people are divided into groups. His attendants and followers are also warriors. They face not facing their own enemies. They don’t even waste spears (because there were no stables at the time, the cavalry on the way stabbed the enemy, they must immediately Release the hand, otherwise it will be pushed down by the reaction force. Use the high-speed charge to break into the array and crush the enemy.
This was affected by the defeat of the left wing, and was suddenly hit hard. The first Persian infantry began to escape, and the small Cyrus cavalry stalked. However, Little Cyrus faintly saw the carriage of the Persian king in the dust. It turned out that the main force on the left side of the Persian army was defeated, forming a big gap, and naturally exposed the rear Persian king to the front.
"Left!!" Little Cyrus excitedly spear a wave of spears ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ around the rescue of the Persian army right wing, obliquely inserted into the Queen of Persia. Dozens of cavalry followed.
"Fast and fast! Protect the King!!" Persian Wang’s general, Alta Geise, shouted, and rushed to the dozens of guarded cavalry around him to take the lead.
In the face of the enemies that swarmed, the little Cyrus had no fear. He pulled out the Greek army knife, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and saw the right time. The right hand spear picked up the long sting of the Altages. The spear, the left-handed saber sticks out, no need to use force, the two horses are staggered and outdated, the neck of Artagys is naturally cut by the horsepower of the Greek army knife.
With his superb skills and equestrian skills, Little Cyrus kills several people. Soon, his cavalry caught up and blocked the other enemy rides for him. He was only surrounded by the royal guards around the carriage with the Persian king Alta Xerxes, and he could even clearly see his brother's horrified face.
Thinking of his imprisonment for himself, he thought that he occupied the throne that was supposed to be his own (this is just the dream of the little Cyrus, the old Persian king did not consider passing him to him), and an angry fire burned in his chest: Alta Xerxes!" He roared, struggling to throw a spear in his hand. In the exclamation, the spear flew through the gap between the royal guards and hit the chest of the Persian king.
The Persian king screamed and fell on the carriage.
When I saw the king of Persia fall, there was chaos in front of me. His anger finally vented out, and he laughed happily, as if the Persian crown had already arrived, but did not hear the attendant cavalry behind him eagerly shouting: "Be careful, Your Highness! Be careful!!..."
The laughter came to an abrupt end. A javelin flew out of the chaotic crowd, just stabbing his eyes.
He didn’t say anything, he immediately fell over the horse...
