Douluo: The Adventures of King Skin

"Courage and prudence are both good qualities. Without prudence, they only add to the harm."

——Isocrates

From the beginning of the war to now, Pyrrhus feels that his heart has been hanging in the air.

Except for the advancement in the middle, almost both the left and right wings are in a hurry.

The left-wing infantry was severely oppressed by the Macedonian spears, but at this time the role of the small phalanx was revealed. Even if the line was further broken, as long as the heavy infantry shield wall covered the flanks, they could still hold on for a while.

The enemy's light infantry on the left wing was absent for some reason. Our own light infantry almost rushed forward and hit the opponent's face, causing some damage. The progress of the Macedonian spear seemed to have stopped temporarily.

The light cavalry on the left wing had been patrolling the perimeter, but the opponent's heavy cavalry seemed determined not to attack, and quietly lined up behind the Macedonian spear formation.If Pyrrhus' light cavalry really attacked the right side of the spear phalanx, it would directly hit the sharp carbine of the heavy cavalry.

If necessary, should the light cavalry launch such a suicidal attack?

Pyrrhus couldn't help but think so.

The middle has been advancing, but the two wings have been squeezed, but the pikemen's phalanx is different from the heavy infantry, and it does not seem to be so easy to break.

It may be impossible to achieve a breakthrough in the middle.

The triple gun formation on the far right side of the right wing is surprisingly effective, but the entire right wing has been concave into a dangerous arc, and the line may be disconnected at any time.

The light infantry on the second line on the right wing were already trying their best to project, but they could only have a disruptive effect.

Another negative consequence of the concave right wing line is that it is difficult for the heavy cavalry on standby on the right wing to find an angle to attack.If you rashly expose your back to the enemy, the light cavalry can also attack the heavy cavalry.

It has been almost an hour since the battle took place, and the soldiers' physical strength has probably been exhausted. If this continues, it must be you who cannot hold on...

…………

…………

The entire front is like an interlocking chain.Tagui believes that he must be the winner, but which link will achieve the breakthrough first?

The gaps between the enemy arrays on the right wing have expanded to the point where they cannot form a battle line and are completely divided into three small square formations. However, it seems that they can still hold on for a while after shrinking.

At this time, the opponent's light cavalry no longer maneuvered back and forth to find loopholes, and the opponent's heavy cavalry formed an angle to contain each other.

The pikemen phalanx in the center has been pushed into a concave sharp corner, but this is the limit.The spear phalanx will not break so easily, and if the opponent continues to advance, it will be attacked from multiple sides.

The left wing is still the same.Except for the mixed square formation, the opponent's entire line was retreating.The cavalry on both sides repeated the actions of the right wing.

Tagui decided not to wait. He sent 200 light infantry to attack the sides of the three small phalanxes on the right!

If the other party sends reinforcements, he will send them too!Anyway, those three small phalanxes will continue to suffer losses. As long as one of them collapses, today's victory can be established!

200 light infantry passed through the gaps in the array and reached the flanks of two heavy infantry phalanxes and a pike phalanx. Even though the weapons were not dominant, they still started to attack.

The Pyrrhus army also responded quickly, sending almost the same number of light infantry over to repel the harassing enemies.

Javelins were fired at each other, white soldiers fought against each other, and the battle between lightly armed teams soon resulted in tragic casualties!

Tagui watched expressionlessly, and only waited until these 200 people were almost used up, before he sent out another 200 people.

At this time, he couldn't help but look to the left

——The connection between the left wing and the center opened a terrifying gap at some point!

At this time, the right-hand side of our own large heavy infantry phalanx and the right-hand side of the opponent's small heavy infantry phalanx, the most vulnerable positions to attack, are exposed to the air at the same time!

He almost didn't have time to think, and immediately sent all 300 remaining light infantry there.

And at the moment when these 300 people arrived, almost at the same time, the opposite side filled this position with a large number of light infantry!

The two sides immediately collided and started fighting fiercely...

Tagui felt his heart trembling

——As long as he reacted a little slower just now, the opponent's light infantry could quickly tear apart his entire array!

But now the situation is still very critical. The flanks of the opponent's heavy infantry are exposed to the weapons of our own light infantry, and the flanks of our own heavy infantry are exposed to the attacks of the opponent's light infantry.

——In other words, his reaction was still slow, the gap was not closed, but both sides started an equal and brutal exchange!

The heavy infantry cannot form a shield wall in this position, and is almost as unprotected as the light infantry!

How to do? !

Just as Tagui was anxiously thinking of countermeasures, the cavalry on both sides began to move.

The enemy's light cavalry on the right wing began to circle in a large circle, preparing to attack the back of our own formation. When they had circled nearly half a circle, the deputy general no longer hesitated and led his own heavy cavalry to attack decisively to block the light cavalry.

Everything is fine here for the time being.

The enemy's heavy cavalry on the left wing was divided into two teams. One team stretched into a long team and moved between the infantry and its own light cavalry. The other team began to accelerate in circles, and was ready to attack the back of the large heavy infantry phalanx!

Our own light cavalry had no choice but to divide into two teams. One team went to attack the enemy and formed a long team to block their enemies, while the other team made a large circle to attack the enemy's flanks and rear.

The heavy infantry's flanks soon received the first impact. Although protected by a shield wall, the entire phalanx was greatly shaken!

And the attack of my own light cavalry is still on the way...

Tagui couldn't help but feel a headache after seeing it - another exchange!

Although the heavy cavalry attack has the upper hand, are you so confident in swapping with me?

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the opponent's back team in the center.Tagui saw about two teams of more than 100 people getting on their horses, and then began to move quickly towards the Macedonian spear phalanx on his right.At this time, the heavy cavalry led by the deputy general and the enemy's light cavalry were entangled and almost left the battlefield. The right side of the spear phalanx was unprotected!

Fortunately, I left 200 cavalry!Tagui almost wanted to laugh out loud now!

With a wave of his hand, he divided into 100 cavalry and rushed to the right wing to block the attack.

Now he only has 100 riders left.

**

The situation on the battlefield is still changing.

No matter where the light cavalry on the left wing went, the opponent immediately sent out pikemen to defend them. The attacks of these mercenaries were too unresolute!

On the right wing, the enemy's hidden cavalry actually dismounted and fought when they arrived. Some of them held spears and light shields to defend against the 100 light cavalry reinforcements, while the other part slashed and killed the exposed right side of the Macedonians!

This part of the direct cavalry was quite determined, but unfortunately they were unable to break through for the time being.Tagui looked anxious.

The biggest change is the gap where the light infantry fights.

——With the consumption of human lives and the further separation of the central and left-wing queues, there is now another gap there!

**

He truly felt that it was time to decide the outcome.

Where should this final reserve be invested?

The fierce fighting on the left wing has greatly shaken the front, and the enemy can be divided at any time, while the three small square formations of the enemy on the right wing are also crumbling.

Reinforcing the left wing is to defend, and reinforcing the right wing is to help break through.

The front on the left is already in chaos, and even if it is broken through, it is likely to break into a melee; on the right, the enemy's and ours' troop structures are still intact.

Left or right?

Just as he was hesitating, he saw Pyrrhus on the opposite side move.

He flicked his short dark red cloak and rushed to the north with a dozen riders around him.

Did he choose a left-wing breakthrough?

Although he didn't know where the opponent's confidence came from, Tagui had a vague feeling that if it really turned into a chaotic battle, his side would most likely lose.

Just intuition.
