Before AD [Babylonian Favorites]

"For the sake of Iris, I don't agree! Alexander's move is too risky! His Majesty Philip would not agree with him when he was alive. Even in the formation, we cannot guarantee that they will not be long Spear accidental injury, or being shot by the enemy's bow and arrow. I still insist that stability is the most important thing compared with flexibility."

A deep, serious voice came from behind.

I looked around and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Surrounded by heavy soldiers, although many soldiers still did not move, their eyes were clearly looking at me.It's no wonder that anyone who sees a person in a group of armor with vulgar clothes that look like a flower will look twice, especially this person is riding a war horse that seriously doesn't match his attire.

Probably because of seeing this war horse, no one dared to stop me along the way.

"I think it's justifiable." Another younger voice replied, gradually approaching, "If you don't lighten your equipment at this moment, it will be easy to be attacked by the enemy, which will lead to the defeat of the entire army...Huh?"

The young male voice stopped talking.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

"No, I suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't explained to my subordinates, Krest, you go there first, I will go to you later."

But this young man's voice is really familiar, who is it, seems to have heard it not long ago.

I was about to look back when suddenly my eyes went dark and my head was firmly pressed down.

"Ba, Gao, Si." His voice was forced out through his teeth, "Didn't I send you to the camp of Alexander? Why are you running around at this time? As a male favorite, he broke into this kind of place privately. Be careful you don't even know how you died!"

Halo, I even forgot Kassander's voice!

"I went wrong. Lord Seleucid's old horse only recognizes this place. I wanted to go back..."

"You don't associate with him! It's the right thing to concentrate on serving Alexander," he said angrily, "This playboy won't do anything but spend his father's money."

I was speechless, and let him put on a red shirt for me.

"Follow me." He shook the reins and walked towards the other side of the barracks.

I glanced back at Alexander's heroic figure in the wind, and quickly followed.

But within two steps, Kasander's horse was blocked by a group of people who came from behind.

"Hey, why are you going back at this time, little Kassander?" Antigonus's loud voice wished that everyone within a hundred miles could hear him clearly, he patted the other person beside him and laughed heartily, "Congratulations You, Ptolemy, can finally get rid of the title of coward in the future."

Kassander and Ptolemy beside Antigonus cursed together, and then he rode his horse to block me, pretending to be absent-minded, and said, "Why did you come here?"

"It's all the fault of Antigonus, that old pervert! Talking to Tajs while eating is like losing your soul," Ptolemy retched, "Seeing the old man being possessed by the god of love really affects the appetite. I swear In the future, I would rather see the monkeys of Luxin Markus's family in heat than witness this tragedy again."

Antigonus laughed without hesitation, and chased after Kassander: "Taiqis is a competent beauty, I finally understand Alexander's original behavior better. After all, he is still a young man, and he did one or two things out of impulse. It's normal to be stupid. By the way, Taijis asked me to come yesterday, saying that she wanted to follow the army to take care of Alexander, and I think this is a good suggestion."

"Come on, let him throw another word lightly, and then our entire barracks will be burned to ashes." Ptolemy also went along with him, sarcastically saying, "I think we should give him to our enemies. "

"I can follow and serve Alexander!"

Everyone's eyes shifted from Kassander's back to me, and they became stunned for an instant.

I belatedly realized what I had said, but it seemed a bit late.

"I, I mean I can protect him..." The more I said it, the more absurd I was, thanking the dark sky for others to see my hot red face, "Well, actually I mean at least I want to protect him ...No, no, of course it sounds funnier..."

My tongue was tied up badly and I was in a lot of embarrassment.Everyone's faces suddenly became extremely distorted, including Luxin Marcus, who had always been paralyzed, slightly changed color.

"Well, that's a good idea."

A smiling male voice behind him commented softly.

I suddenly felt short of breath. If I were an ostrich, I would definitely find a mound and stick my head in it right now, even if my buttocks are exposed.

I turned my head in embarrassment, before I saw the blue eyes bent as I expected, I first met Krest's cold snake eyes.

"You said you would take me to the East, Your Majesty." I lowered my head, feeling a little lacking in confidence.

"Do you think this is a trip to the mountains and rivers?" Krest's arrogant and elegant voice was as piercing as a chainsaw, "There are no useless people in the army! You tell everyone, except for our generals Become a beast dominated by sexual desire, what else can you do?"

Many strange people with similar expressions to Krest looked at me. They were wearing armor, with the unique pride of the Greeks, and looked at me arrogantly. The indescribable eyes made me more excited than any words. feel humiliated.

Everyone was staring at me, even Alexander.

I squeezed the rein in my hand: "I can dance."

Almost instantly, wild laughter erupted around Alexander.

"Oh? Really? This little eunuch said he can dance!" Krest stared at me, and suddenly repeated loudly.Now, many ordinary soldiers also laughed out loud, and even Ptolemy began to show contemptuous expressions on his face.

Alexander didn't say anything, just staring at me motionlessly.

When everyone laughed enough, Krest continued to raise his eyebrows and said, "So? Little Persian, do you think that if you wave your slender arms and twist your butt, the enemies on the battlefield will surrender?"

"I'm a small person." I emphasized, and rolled up my sleeves to show my arms. "Without you are strong and powerful, and without your bravery, I cannot be a qualified fighter."

I raised my eyes, one by one, and glanced at each of them firmly: "I can only dance. But from the age of six to now, many people stronger than me have died, and only I am still alive."

The laughter gradually became smaller.

"Maybe I don't know how to fight. You can laugh at me as much as you want, but I have lived to this day with this ability to make you laugh. It taught me how to release the emotions in my heart. It gave me the motivation to fight for it. It saved my life in countless critical moments, simple as that."

Someone looked at me, and there was no longer such a frivolous expression on his face.

I turned back to Krest and said, "I don't need your affirmation, and I don't care. But what I want to tell you is, Master Krest, never look down on little people."

The surrounding gradually became quiet, and it seemed that someone was whispering about my dancing with the lion.

"Look at them, he, he, and him," I pointed to some of the infantrymen, "they may be butchers or blacksmiths, but they are the backbone of the army, don't you laugh at them and say , you can only kill pigs, can you only forge iron?"

No one spoke anymore, but I didn't want to say anything more either.Being insulted by others for the career I have loved for so many years, at this moment, I am not in a good mood.

The torches were flickering in the wind, and the young man in the center had a vague expression.

When I was about to leave, he suddenly urged the horse to walk slowly in front of me, his face in high spirits was as majestic as if covered by a layer of sunshine at this moment.

There was a flash of light in Alexander's blue eyes, he looked at me for a while, and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Boy, would you like to see my proudest army?"

"Alexander, what are you doing?" Krest said angrily.

He ignored Crest, as if waiting for my answer.

I looked up at him, and suddenly a warm current passed through my heart, and I nodded vigorously.

He dismounted, took me next, and helped me walk towards the infantry.

The 2-man team as neat as tofu blocks, Macedonian spears that are 3-[-] times longer than ordinary spears, viewed from the side, the heavily armed infantry walked almost in unison.

I could hardly contain the emotion that was too overwhelming.

This is the Macedonian phalanx, the most famous army formation in ancient Greece according to legend!

Based on the square 16-man column composed of dozens of infantry, the phalanx formed by thousands of people is the primary phalanx.The fusion of the four primary phalanxes became the most powerful joint expeditionary force under Alexander.They attacked with spears in hand, and at the same time used round shields as cover. Once the soldiers in the front fell, the people behind would immediately fill the gap.Around the infantry, other arms such as cavalry and auxiliary soldiers will be used as cover, so that the entire impenetrable team can be crushed like a heavy tank on the battlefield, as if entering a no-man's land[1].

In fact, this phalanx was not invented by Alexander, but there is no doubt that it created the most brilliant record under Alexander's command.This is why it was named the "Macedonian" phalanx.

It's so famous that Oliver couldn't resist trying to recreate it in his film.

However, a movie is still a movie after all, and it will never be able to produce real Macedonian phalanx special effects with tens of thousands of people.Even in the dark night, the compelling momentum is still like a powerful tornado, and the deafening shouts hit my eardrums, as if to shout out the soul of people.The blood-boiling momentum filled the whole body in an instant, leaving only one thought - to move forward fearlessly.

"Zeus, who said Bagoas is not a strong man?" Alexander's deep sigh suddenly sounded in my ears, and his slender fingers pressed against my hand, gently covering my hand, "My boy has never been a weak person , I knew it from the beginning."

I rubbed my eyes: "Your Majesty, promise me, you will definitely take me to the East, right?"

He actually nodded seriously.

"Witness in the name of Iris, Bagoss, I am willing to believe you."

"Believe in what, Your Majesty?" I was a little puzzled.

He finally showed a bright smile: "I believe you will protect me."
