Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 2 The Death of Little Julius (Part 2)

Clearkus looked at the significantly thicker square in the center of the enemy, and then looked at the array where the enemy's left wing was longer than its own.Although he gave his full support to the little Cyrus from the beginning, it did not mean that he would obey. He bluntly refused: "His Royal Highness, I think I should first defeat the enemy's left wing and hit the enemy's middle side, which is more secure."

"I understand Artaxerxes, the Persian army, and your Greek Phalanx! Believe me, friend, your army will easily defeat Artaxerxes's Chinese army! Artaxerxes is defeated, he has No amount of troops are useful!" Little Cyrus persuaded.

Clearkus shook his head stubbornly: "Sorry, Your Highness! I will not expose the flank of the Phalanx to the enemy army!"

Cyrus frowned, staring at Clearkus, but there was no time for him to organize language to persuade each other.As for forcing orders, the other party is a mercenary, not his men.

"Okay, just do what you said!" Little Julius turned his head.Suddenly pulled the reins and ran back to the circuit.

……………………

When the two armies were about 500 meters apart, the Greek soldiers began singing the carols of Ares and marched forward.

When the carols were finished, the distance was less than two hundred meters.

"Aris!!!" The soldiers shouted in unison and began to jog, and they ran faster and faster, faster and faster... Tens of thousands of Greek heavy infantry gathered to form "Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The sound of footsteps is like the thunder of gathering energy to break the dark night with lightning!

The Persians on the opposite side seemed completely frightened by the torrents of steel in front of them.As the Greek army was getting closer, except for a few hob wagons that rushed into the Greek army, accompanied by screams, twisted residual limbs and arms, and finally disappeared into silence, others forgot to release arrows because of fear. , Forgetting the shield.

At a distance of more than ten meters between the two armies, the Persians collapsed and they turned and fled.

The Greeks didn't expect victory to come so fast, and their energy had not yet been vented.

At the beginning, small captains like Hilos repeatedly reminded teammates: "Keep in formation, don't run too fast! Keep in formation..."

In the end, the team completely ran away, and all the Greeks were in the excitement of chasing.

…………………

Little Cyrus in the middle of the road didn't expect the victory on the right to come so fast, and he was a little dazed.

"Lord Cyrus, long live!!!" The servants had begun to wield spears and shouted for victory.

"His Royal Highness, shall we follow the pursuit?" Altapatus asked him.

He shook his head and looked directly at his left front.

He knew very well that only by killing that person could he win the supreme crown.

"Subpoena! Let Arreus' left wing stop advancing and prepare for defense!" Little Cyrus immediately ordered.He knew very well that his strongest unit was the Greek mercenary. Since the Greeks had repelled the enemy's left wing, he did not need to rush to let the left wing, which is significantly less powerful than the enemy, slam the enemy's right wing.In case of a rapid defeat, this battle will be in trouble.It's better to delay the time as much as possible, waiting for the return of the Greek mercenaries who chase the defeated army, then the victory is to be stable.

However, while he waited patiently for the enemy to come up, the opponent's midway stopped.

Soon, his face changed.

Because, the enemy's middle road began to split into two parts, of which the left part turned back to the left.

"No! They want to attack the Greeks!!" Altapatus shouted in silence.

If the Greek heavy armoured infantry dispersed by the pursuit of the defeated army is attacked by the enemy from the rear, it is likely to fall into chaos, and the battle situation will be reversed.

"Alta Xerxes, how dare you switch formations on the battlefield, I really think I have less cavalry, don't you dare to take the initiative to attack!" Xiao Ju Rusi sneered and quickly made a decision in his heart.He raised his spear and pointed forward: "Order the right wing to accelerate! The cavalry attacked with me!"

"His Royal Highness, please put on your helmet!" The attendant quickly handed over his helmet. Little Cyrus had stepped out of the horse. The left and right attendants hurriedly caught up and quickly guarded him in the center.

More than 800 cavalrymen formed a wedge formation and drove straight towards the Persian Chinese army.

The commander of the Persian Army's middle road, Altakys, did not expect that the little Cyrus would dare to attack at this time, and quickly rushed the cavalry forward to meet.However, at this moment the team is changing, and the mighty array of infantry is blocking the passage of the cavalry. Finally, thousands of cavalry are squeezed out of the gap between the array.

A group of people shouted Ma Si, and the Persian army's hurried patchwork of cavalry defense was torn open instantly.

Then, the Cyrus cavalry pierced like a sharp knife into the back of the part of the Persian army that was turning backwards.

The little Julius was brave and fierce, once hunting the black bear alone.Things are grouped together, people are divided into groups, and his cavalry and followers are also warriors, facing their enemies, they don’t even waste their spears (because there is no stirrup at that time, the cavalry on the move stabbing the enemy, you must immediately Let go, otherwise it will be pushed down by the reaction force), use the horsepower of the high-speed charge to break into the array and crush the enemy.

Immediately affected by the defeat of the left wing, he was suddenly hit hard. The first Persian infantry began to run away, and the Cavaliers of the little Cyrus took advantage of the situation.However, the little Cyrus saw the carriage of the Persian king faintly in the dust.It turned out that the main force on the left side of the Persian Chinese Army was defeated, forming a large gap, and naturally exposed the Persian king behind to the front.

"Left!!!" Little Cyrus swung his spear in excitement, bypassing the right wing of the rescued Persian army and slanted towards the Queen of Persia.Dozens of cavalry followed.

"Hurry up! Protect the king!!" The Persian general General Altaqués shouted, and hurriedly scored dozens of guards cavalry around him, taking the lead in attacking.

Facing the swarming enemy riders, Little Cyrus had no fear. He drew out the Greek saber, clamped his horses legs with both legs, and looked at the timing. The spear in his right hand picked up the long stab of Altagosses. The spear, the left-handed saber stretched out, without force, and the two horses were staggered and passed by, and the neck of Arthagusis was naturally cut by the Greek saber's forward horsepower...

With his superb skills and equestrian skills, Little Julius killed several people in a row.Soon, his cavalry caught up and blocked other enemy rides for him.Between him and the Persian king Artaxerxes there was only the royal guard around the carriage, and he could even clearly see his brother's horrified face.

Thinking of his imprisonment of himself, thinking of him occupying his throne (this was just the hypothesis of Cyrus, the old Persian king had never considered passing the throne to him), a anger burned in his chest: " Artaxerxes!" He roared, struggling to throw the spear in his hand, and in a cry of excitement, the spear passed through the royal guard's gap like lightning, hitting the chest of the Persian king.

The Persian screamed and fell on the carriage.

Seeing the king of Persia fall down, he was confused.His anger was finally vented, and he laughed wantonly, as if the Persian crown had been reached, but did not hear the servant cavalry behind him also eagerly shouting: "Be careful, Your Royal Highness! Be careful!!!..."

Laughter stopped abruptly.A javelin flew out of the chaotic crowd, just stabbing him in the eye.

He didn't say a word, and immediately fell down...
