081 Cavalry Hedge

Graves could not see the enemy cavalry from his angle, and his vision was buried by the endless anti-Han coalition infantry formation.

As the saying goes, people are boundless, and the anti-Han coalition forces present in Grefos at this time are definitely more than 10,000!

Obviously, after realizing that its long-range firepower was not as good as that of Xiao Yunyang's troops, the anti-Han coalition directly launched a full-scale attack on the main force and no longer consumed or tested it with Xiao Yunyang's troops.

After all, it was defeated before even touching the enemy's side, which was a big blow to the morale of the anti-Han coalition. Such things happened a few more times, and the anti-Han coalition would probably lose the courage to attack the enemy head-on.

The infantry in the anti-Han coalition forces were all soldiers who took priestly potions, and their spirits became numb, greatly reducing their fear of death.

Of course, it is just a reduction, and the level of eliminating the fear of death is far from reaching.

Relatively speaking, Xiao Yunyang's side is relatively shabby.

Xiao Yunyang only found some priests who were almost equivalent to the apprentice of the caster, and the potions prepared were only enough for hundreds of people to use, and the purpose of it was played in this war was minimal.

More importantly, these potions are only effective for ordinary people, and the level of improvement is only to reach low-level warriors. For Xiao Yunyang, who is summoned by his command, the average level of summoned soldiers reaches the advanced warriors, it is not even better than nothing.

In contrast, although no one of the regular troops of the Macedonian Kingdom participated in the anti-Han coalition, the tribes within the Macedonian Kingdom sent backbone forces under the strict orders of Alexander the Great.

Although these tribes are primitive, each tribe has several priests or wizards that are equivalent to the level of the caster apprenticeship.

Several of the large tribes even had the existence of touching the threshold of the official caster.

The quality is not good, but the quantity is absolutely sufficient.

In addition to long-range troops that do not require hand-to-hand combat, even light infantry in melee can be given a bowl of "courage potion".

Because of this, as soon as the main force of the anti-Han coalition launched, the shouts of killing suddenly echoed in the sky. Even if powerful bows and arrows fell on the head from time to time, the pace of progress remained unchanged.

"Hold the shield, spearmen up!" Jerson shouted loudly, and the extramarital madmen who were shooting arrows in front retreated from the gaps of friendly troops in the back row, followed by rows of spears stretching out from the gaps, and the gaps between the shields were merged.

A dense spear square array immediately took shape.

Level 6 soldiers are the peak arms in the era of cold weapons. This not only refers to weapons and equipment and individual combat capabilities, but also includes the military discipline in the era of cold weapons!

The memories of these extrajudicial madmen are all elite veterans, or "heroes" who robbed the rich and helped the poor in the world.

To rob others of their wealth and help their own poverty...

Therefore, array combat is not difficult for extramarital madmen.

They just had poor military discipline, but the regular army still had military qualities in the era of cold weapons.

After seeing the extramarital madmen in the middle, the Greek servants on both sides stopped to form the formation, they also started to form the formation in a very good manner.

However, compared with the extra-legal madmen, the performance of these Greek servants was not satisfactory. It was not until the enemy entered within 50 steps that they could barely produce a good product.

During this period, the arrows in the extramarital madman array never stopped. When both sides approached about 20 steps, the back row of the shield array drew parabolic javelins and pierced into the array of both sides.

In addition to the extramarital madman with pure iron hard shields, the two sides fell 4 digits in this round of javelin shooting!

After a round of javelins, two thick arrays collided hard, and the shield and spear sting became the mainstream.

Since both sides are attacking in formation, they have not entered the melee stage. If you look down from mid-air, you can clearly see the confrontation between the two sides' lines.

At this time, the infantry on both sides of the battle had no intention of caring about the situation on the periphery, and the tribal cavalry of the anti-Han coalition forces had already detoured to the sides of the left and right wings.

Just as the tribal cavalry of the Anti-Han coalition forces were preparing to attack, a cavalry formation formed by hundreds of people came and intercepted their way.

Thousands of Swadia knights were divided into two parts, blocking the anti-Han coalition tribal coalition forces that were intended to raid on the two wings.

Behind the Swadia Knights is the Greek minions guarding the main array.

As for the Plate Armored Soldiers, it was left as a reserve team by Xiao Yunyang.

After seeing that the tribal cavalry of the anti-Han coalition army had only 500 men, they launched a cavalry charge without fear.

In the eyes of these tribe cavalry, the main thing to do when fighting is to see who has more people and who has stronger warriors!

Compared with the Swadia Knights wrapped in iron shells, these tribal cavalry only had a set of tattered leather armor on their bodies, and many of them only had a set of civilian clothing, but their weapons all had a cavalry spear.

Since these tribal cavalry did not have stirrups, they controlled their horses with one hand and charged with the cavalry spears in the other!

This kind of spear-holding cavalry, even if it is just light, is very dangerous for infantry phalanxes without spears.

Especially when dealing with the current Greek phalanx, it is even more convenient.

Because the Greeks like to use short spears, which are about two meters long and are not as long as the spears of tribal cavalry, it is easy to break through when resisting cavalry charges.

Because Emperor Alexander the Great officially saw this defect, he improved the Greek phalanx and developed the Macedonian phalanx. The length of the infantry spear was directly increased to more than six meters!

This kind of spear, let alone a cavalry, can stab you even an elephant!

Therefore, the tribes under the control of the Macedonian Kingdom did not dare to violate the orders of Emperor Alexander the Great. The tribal cavalry, which was proud of by these savage tribes, were the only ones who could deliver food to the Macedonian phalanx, not to mention that Emperor Alexander also had elite cavalry...

However, these tribal cavalry from the Kingdom of Macedonia had natural psychological advantages against the Greeks.

They are actually the recruiting soldiers who have long been deterred against the Greek region.

These tribal cavalry had never seen iron canned cavalry. As the saying goes, the ignorant is fearless. In this way, thousands of tribal cavalry and hundreds of Swadia knights collided head-on.

Both sides are phalanxes that are conducive to cavalry hedging, not modern charge wall formations, but cavalry phalanxes in the cold weapon era. The difference between the two sides is that the cavalry is separated by different cavalry.

The cavalry phalanx in the Cold Weapon Age was wider.

Therefore, when two cavalry phalanxes are hedging, few horses are facing each other and die together. They are here to fight, not to kill themselves!

Often they intersperse each other. During the interspersion, it depends on their respective strength and reaction.
