I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 58 The Great War
At the same time that the chariot was destroyed, the barbarian infantry rushed into the range of the Macedonian archers with shouts. Under the loud roar of the officers, hundreds of archers drew their bows and shot upwards. Hundreds of arrows with iron arrowheads soared into the sky, roaring and flying into the running barbarian army formation.

"Dammit, raise your shields!"

Facing the rain of arrows flying swiftly, the warriors mixed in the barbarian army shouted loudly, but their voices seemed so weak in the chaotic army formation, they were quickly covered by various voices, and then, Hundreds of barbarian soldiers fell in a pool of blood under the attack of the dense arrow rain of the Macedonians. Although these fallen people were not worth mentioning in the huge barbarian army formation, they still made the surrounding infantry run with great momentum. lag!
"Free fire! Don't stop!"

Behind the Macedonian phalanx, the archer officers were still shouting, and the light infantry deployed in front of the phalanx using javelins also rushed up under the cover of the archers, throwing full-bore arrows at the barbarians within range. The javelins filled with anger, in an instant, countless javelins mixed with a rain of arrows occupied the mid-air like locusts, and sprinkled in the direction of the barbarian infantry!
In the next second, javelins and arrows roared down like raindrops, knocking down those barbarian warriors who lacked protection. Blood spewed out from the wounds like money without money, and sprinkled on the land, dyeing the ground to death. A shocking blood red.

The tribesmen fell one after another and did not shake the determination of other barbarian warriors. They roared and accelerated their running pace, with the anger of vengeance burning in their chests. The savages above the group fought hand-to-hand.

Seeing all this, Agnes, the captain of the guard next to Antigonus, looked stern. He turned his head to look at Antigonus under the king's banner. The young king was so calm, as if everything was under his control among.

"Your Majesty, order the attack!" said the chief guard.

"Blow the attack horn and let the barbarians taste the power of the phalanx!"

Antigonus made a decisive decision and ordered.As soon as he finished speaking, the buglers around him blew the horns in their hands, and a melodious horn sounded from behind the Macedonian army formation. The expressions of the centurions in each phalanx immediately changed, and they held up their weapons and shouted loudly. Said: "Go forward! Let our phalanx crush the enemy!"

"Go! Go!"

"Dududu-"

Amidst the sharp trumpets, thousands of Macedonian soldiers shouted in unison and moved forward in uniform steps. When they moved, their spears were still pointed at the enemy far away, ready to fight against the enemy at any time.At the same time, Cronus, the military consul who was deployed on the right wing, also led the loyal cavalry of the kingdom to run. After the mobilization, his cavalry had more than [-] cavalry, even if Antigonus was not added. The partner cavalry guards, also capable of tearing apart the enemy's hammer.

As soon as the Macedonian cavalry moved, the Duretika cavalry began to be impatient. The chief chief looked at the commander in command of the army, wanting to get permission from the other side to attack, but the latter started to attack after losing the chariot troops. Be careful not to agree to the cavalry commander's request.

Seeing that the barbarian cavalry had not been drawn out, Kronos was not discouraged either. He led the cavalry directly around the barbarian infantry who were about to engage in battle with his own army, attempting to behead the high-level barbarian in the rear. Although the barbarian cavalry was still guarding In its left and right, but he still has the confidence to complete the task.

On the other side, the barbarian infantry had already engaged the right wing of the Macedonian army. Amidst the shouts that shook the sky, whether it was the shield soldiers in a dense phalanx or the extremely brave barbarian fighters, they all ran into each other head-on with roars.

What a violent collision it was. Between shields colliding with each other, countless soldiers standing in the front row were knocked down heavily because of their unsteady feet. Before they could struggle to get up, they were pierced by deadly weapons. The body can no longer get up.

A Greek heavy infantry quickly gained a foothold after being hit, and launched the most violent counterattack. The spear in his hand hit the shield of the barbarian warrior opposite him continuously like a storm, causing the opponent's mouth to burst. Trembling, taking advantage of this opportunity, the heavy infantry immediately gave up the round shield, stretched out his hand to grab the enemy's shield, exerted strength with his arm, and actually grabbed the opponent's shield directly, and then, before the opponent could react, the spear in his hand Already swung out, he hit the opponent's heel hard, causing him to kneel down with his left foot lost. Immediately afterwards, the heavy infantry raised his spear and pierced the man's chest mercilessly.

In the bloody melee, the Macedonian heavy infantry had the upper hand. Under the attack of the heavy infantry with their retracted spears in an orderly manner, the undisciplined barbarian infantry continued to fall. Anyone who tried to get close to the first column of the phalanx The barbarian warriors had several holes of flesh and blood pierced in their bodies by the spears of the heavy infantry. Blood splashed, and more and more barbarian corpses fell in front of the heavy infantry phalanx.

All the heavy infantry clenched the round shields in their hands and shouted loudly. Their voices synthesized sound waves, which boosted the morale of their comrades and shook the enemy's fighting spirit. The phalanx continued to move forward. The soldiers used their shields to block the enemy's slashing, and stabbed anyone who attacked them with their spears. When the spears were stuck in the enemy's body and could not be pulled out, they resolutely gave up their weapons and pulled out the Siphus shorts around their waists. Fight with a sword or a scimitar.Over time, each soldier was stained with a lot of blood, the owner of this blood is their own, but also the enemy.

On the ground, the blood quickly stained the ground under the soldiers' feet, and a large number of corpses even hindered the soldiers' progress. From time to time, people would trip over the corpses under their feet, but this did not stop them from continuing to move forward.

The frontal battlefield was in full swing, and Kronos and his cavalry had also launched a decapitation operation. Amidst the roar of thousands of cavalry riding their horses galloping together, the high-level barbarian troops who were targeted by them suddenly became confused, because the barbarians There has never been a tradition of leaving a reserve team, so apart from his own hundreds of personal guards, there are only a large number of slaves and hundreds of cavalry left beside the war chief (the person in charge of commanding the army in the barbarian tribe)!
"Damn it! Go up to it! Stop them!"

The war chief shouted loudly, and the barbarian cavalry who received the order had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward, trying to stop the running Macedonian cavalry, but their intention could not be realized. Divided into two groups, one way turned to charge the barbarian cavalry, and the other way continued to kill the barbarian war chief!

At this moment, they are unstoppable!
