I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 126 The Battle of Sega

Taking advantage of the melee infantry battlefield to attract everyone's attention there, the Macedonian cavalry led by the military consul Kronos charged out from the rear of the right flank, and White, the son of King Brilim, led the Tirgtai cavalry from the left flank. Fighting out from the rear, the two groups bypassed the battlefield and headed towards the barbarian coalition camp in the distance.

While running, those Tirgetai cavalry archers stretched their bows and arrows on their horses, shooting and killing the outermost barbarian infantry. Although these barbarian cavalry archers did not have the aid of saddles and stirrups, their skilled riding skills allowed them to not rely on Any harness takes a shot on the run.When the attacked barbarian infantry found the Macedonian cavalry appearing on the flank, there was a moment of confusion, but the chaos was quickly subsided, and a group of soldiers with spears and shields were separated from the crowd to kill the horse archers. .

Seeing this, White took out an iron arrow from the quiver hanging on the side of the horse's back, drew the bow and set the arrow, and shot at the barbarian infantry approaching them, only to hear the sound of a bowstring breaking in the air, and a black shadow Passing through the air at high speed and shooting into the crowd, it actually smashed the shield of a tribal warrior who will be the leader, and then continued unabated, directly into the eye socket of that person, and shot him dead on the spot!

Seeing the prince's majesty, the Tirgtai horse archers cheered loudly. Although they were not as good at archery as the prince, they were still able to seize the opportunity to shoot and kill the enemies under the shield with ease.And when the barbarian infantry was about to approach them, these cavalry archers would steer their horses and run away, and then stop when they were far enough away to shoot on the spot.

As a result, the barbarian infantry who were chasing were desperate to find that they could not catch up with these cunning cavalry no matter what. The more and more they are caught in a dead end, they will be shot slowly if they continue to chase, and they will be chased by the enemy and attacked from behind if they stop the loss in time and want to retreat.

They pinned their hopes on the cavalry that had not been dispatched by their side, but when several of the tribal warriors looked towards the direction of the camp, they were shocked to find that their cavalry had already dispatched, but they were stopped by the Macedonian cavalry from the right flank halfway. Although the number of the two sides is almost the same, hundreds of light infantry wielding javelins or battle axes are hidden in the smoke and dust raised by the Macedonian cavalry. He jumped on the horse, forcibly dragged the barbarian cavalry off the horse, and then hacked randomly.

The Macedonian cavalry who fought against the barbarian cavalry not only had the assistance of their own light infantry, but also equipped with horse gear to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. When the barbarian cavalry was engaged in combat, they tied their hands and feet on the horse's back for fear of falling from the horse's back due to too much movement. When they were fighting, they could step on their stirrups and slash left and right without any scruples, beheading all the surrounding enemies off their horses.

Seeing this, the tribal warriors who were entangled by the Tirgetai cavalry archers couldn't stand it anymore, because their squad had been shot by the cavalry archers and they turned around and fled towards the camp.Prince White obviously wouldn't let them get what they wanted. After the prince himself took the lead in putting his short bow on his back and drawing out his sword, the horse archers drew out their swords and followed the prince's pace to catch up with the defeated soldiers. Kill these broken soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit from behind in the most humiliating way.

Several tribal warriors were unwilling to die in such an aggrieved manner. They stopped running, stood where they were, and turned to meet the enemy, but a Tirgtai cavalry who rushed to face him raised his saber and directly shot his sword. The arm was cut off, and then a sword flower was thrown out, and the tribal warrior's head was split open with his backhand.

After the tirgtai cavalry archers wiped out the rout, they didn't go back to continue to harass the barbarian infantry in the battle group, but went directly to the camp of the barbarian coalition army.At this time, there were still thousands of reserve troops in the barbarian infantry camp who hadn't entered the field. Seeing that the traitor Tirgtai dared to charge towards them, they were all furious and rushed out of the camp under the leadership of the chief.Several chiefs who still retained their rationality wanted to dissuade them, but they couldn't listen to the words of persuasion and rushed out directly.

Seeing this, the chiefs who stayed behind could only order their subordinates to rely on the wooden fence surrounding the camp to deploy defenses, and at the same time pray to the gods they believed in, hoping that the allies who were still fighting on the front line could win the victory.

It's just that the gods will only look down on what happens in the world from above, and never intervene in bloody wars between mortals.

The prayers of the chiefs had no effect, and the more than a thousand barbarian cavalry fighting with the Macedonian cavalry quickly lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions under the joint attack of the enemy cavalry and light infantry.Cronus, who was stained with blood, did not give the order to pursue. He looked around the battlefield and ordered the cavalry under his command to turn around and charge the barbarian battle group from behind. , but the barbarian infantry can still continue to fight relying on the belief in defending the country and the superiority in numbers, even though their fighting spirit has retreated!
"Charge! For Macedonia! For Antigonus!"

"Speed ​​up your horses! Let's end this battle in one fell swoop!"

The military consul roared loudly, held up the Duolu lance, and rushed to the front, followed by more than a thousand Macedonian cavalry led by him, and gradually condensed into a huge inverted triangle wedge formation while running. Their speed was getting faster and faster, leading The vibration to the ground became more and more violent!

"Damn it! It's the Macedonian cavalry!"

"My God, the Macedonian cavalry is charging towards us!"

"Array! Array! Stop them!"

After discovering that the Macedonian cavalry was attacking towards them, the barbarian right-wing regiment immediately fell into panic. They yelled loudly and managed to form a relatively dense shield formation under the orders of the chief or warrior in an attempt to block the Macedonian cavalry. However, can the charge bonus brought by the huge wedge formation to the Macedonian cavalry be offset by their poor shield formation?In the violent charge that almost shook the world, the wedge formed by the Macedonian cavalry was like a sharp knife, and like a brave battleship, it braved the wind and waves to completely smash the shield formed by the barbarian infantry, and then drove straight in, smashing the huge barbarian army into pieces. The battle group kills through!
Under the violent charge of the Macedonian cavalry, the huge barbarian battle group instantly collapsed like an avalanche, and the fear of defeat quickly swept through the entire army like a plague. Countless barbarian infantry screamed and turned around to flee, leaving their fragile backs to the enemy , and cast the glory in their hearts under their feet!
"Blow the horn of pursuit, and our army will surely win!"

As soon as Antigonus finished speaking, the trumpeter behind him blew the horn vigorously, and a passionate trumpet sound spread throughout the battlefield. The victorious Macedonian infantry and Tirgetai allies cheered and chased the broken soldiers all over the mountains and plains!
