Chapter 216: Goal: Darius

As for Li Yeling, as soon as the cavalry began to appear, he had already targeted the bearded man. His unique weapons, his extremely handsome war horses, and the chain mail he wore made him look different and made him die faster than others. Li Yeling had already set his sights on him. After so long observation, Li Yeling found that these Persian troops had extremely poor tactical qualities. Once the commander died, it would almost collapse. This may be related to their incomplete officer system.

Li Yeling penetrated his arms and threw the short spear in his hand hard. Almost everyone else's were parabolas, only he and Alexander were straight lines. His eyes and locked in the position of the bearded general, and the short spear shot straight at the general's chest.

The general saw that the short spear was shot, and instinctively swung the long-handled battle axe to resist, but unexpectedly, the short spear contained a huge force, which broke his long-handled battle axe in just a moment, and then the remaining momentum was still unscathed, and he shot hard at his chest. He was wearing a chain mail, which was already a good equipment in the Persian army, but still could not resist the short spear. For a moment, the short spear was nailed into the chest of the Persian general. Dozens of armor were broken by the powerful force and flew everywhere.

The short spear was extremely powerful and shot out from the body of the Persian general, and nailed a Persian cavalry in leather behind him to death. It was only after nailing it out from the back of the Persian cavalry.

This short spear attack killed hundreds of Persian cavalry, and then another round, another dark cloud covered with dark clouds, and a group of these Persian cavalry were killed and injured.

More importantly, their leader was dead. The Persian military system was not very advanced. Although their regular army implemented a strict hierarchical system of officers and subordinates, they could effectively command them at all levels. However, after a series of battles with Macedonia, these regular army were basically killed and injured. Now most of the Macedonian army are tribal troops. As the name suggests, tribal troops are directly recruited from some relatively backward tribes. The tribal army does not have any strict officer system, especially the smaller tribal army, with only one leader, and almost all the soldiers underground are his slaves. When the leader dies, the army below collapses.

The one who came to snipe Alexander was such a tribal army. Their leader was killed by Li Yeling's spear, and he didn't even have time to leave a last word. The army was immediately trapped in a group of headless dragons.

After Alexander threw two short spears, he fought with the Persian cavalry.

However, before the fight, these Persian cavalry were killed and half of them were killed. In addition, the commander was dead, and there was no morale at all. When they saw the Macedonian soldiers rushing over with their spears, they immediately shouted, scattering birds and beasts. Seeing these Persian cavalry fleeing in all directions, Alexander laughed and waved the spear in his hand and continued to charge forward.

Li Yeling also laughed in silence. He did not expect that the combat effectiveness and fighting will of these Persian miscellaneous armies were so poor.

With a swing of the long-handled battle axe, he cut off the head of a slow-fleeing Persian cavalry. Li Yeling also felt that it was meaningless, so he slapped his horse and continued to move forward with Alexander.

In the first place of Macedonia, Darius III's face turned pale when he saw this scene and was very angry. He had known that these miscellaneous troops were rotten, but he didn't expect that they were so bad. However, with this little time blocked, the black flag next to Darius III shook and raised upwards. On the right wing of the team, a huge number of infantry rushed upwards and blocked Alexander's cavalry.

Darius III has no trump card in his hand now. Although this infantry is not his last hope, it is almost the same. Now I can only hope that this infantry can stop Alexander's cavalry for a while and give himself some time to transfer back to the front line army. In Darius III's mind, today's war may not be able to be fought. It seems that we need to consider the issue of retreat.

However, in the battle between the army, if the retreat is not careful, it will turn into a retreat and escape, and you must be careful. Darius III did not know that according to normal history, it was this moment of timidity that made him choose to escape when he saw his coachman being shot to death, which directly led to the defeat of the Persian army.

And now, will the intervention of Li Yeling and others change the ending?

Not far from Darius III, two people were whispering timidly: "Sister, look at the battlefield over there. I just inquired about the cavalry, the one who rushed in front was Alexander!"

The red-haired girl frowned and looked at it for a while, but only saw a piece of dust. She couldn't help but say: "You are a wood-type talisman sorcerer. Wood-type energy can nourish your eyes. You can see it naturally. I am a fire-type and can't see anything."

The young man Xiaoliang smiled and said, "It's okay, wait for Alexander to come later, and we'll hang out in the chaos army. When he is not paying attention, he will come to him hard!"

Li Yeling naturally had no way of knowing the conversation between the two. When they, the elite Macedonian cavalry, broke out and defeated the blocking cavalry, there was another vast space in front of them. After a while, Li Yeling looked from afar, the Persian army's main formation also moved. Countless infantry rushed out of the formation like ants and ran towards this side.

Li Yeling smiled slightly. Darius III had a good overall view and could see the problem clearly at the level of the entire battlefield, but it was a little short of grasping the specific local battlefield. What Darius III should do now is to stick to its own formation, strengthen its defense, and then draw a cavalry with more mobile cavalry and the two wings of the battlefield in his hand to wait for an opportunity to move. In this way, not only will the formation be as stable as a rock, Alexander's cavalry cannot advance easily, but there is also a cavalry force guarding it, which also puts great psychological pressure on Alexander and others, and will definitely withdraw their troops in the end.

Such a defensive formation is the way to deal with elite cavalry with superior infantry now.

But Darius III didn't know what thinking route was, but he actually did the opposite, driving the infantry with nearly zero mobility and extremely poor defense capabilities to attack Alexander's cavalry?

I just watched a cavalry defeated, but now I am coming to deliver vegetables again?

Alexander shouted: "Macedonia, charge!"

It was about two hundred meters away from the infantry. Alexander once again pulled out his short spear in his hand. When he waved his arm, thousands of short spears spread down.

With the dark clouds covered, a large number of Persian infantry died. These Persian infantry had even worse defense. They were only wearing worn cloth armor. It was already amazing to be able to wear a piece of leather armor. Many Persian infantry were led by the huge power of the short spear, and they were nailed to the ground. They were heart-wrenching pain, but they could not die for a moment. They moaned painfully on the ground, which was extremely miserable.

The infantry was slower. Before the Alexander's cavalry and Persian infantry handed over, the Alexander's cavalry threw out three-wheeled short spears and killed thousands of Persian infantry.

Li Yeling kept aiming at figures like officers in Persian infantry. Such figures were very easy to recognize. Not only were the armor on their bodies gorgeous, but there were often some soldiers around them. Li Yeling specifically selected such targets and started attacking them in just seven or eight seconds, and had already shot and killed at least six Persian officers.

However, this Persian infantry has a large number. Although it has killed several thousand, it is still inevitable to intervene in close combat. However, Alexander still has an absolute advantage, and cavalry has too many benefits to infantry.

Alexander and others had just galloped all the way, and the horses had completely run away. The horsepower was at its peak. Moreover, these Persian infantry were neither dense defensive formations nor powerful weapons such as large shields and strong crossbows. Instead, they became scattered scattered formations due to long-distance charges.

Alexander waved his spear in his hand, pointed the spear forward, and rushed forward. Li Yeling followed closely behind his right and winged him tightly. Now Alexander is his life-saving talisman and will never dare to make any mistakes.

With a "boom!", the two armies intersected.

Li Yeling gently stroked the long-handled battle axe in his hand, and cut a big hole in the neck of a Persian infantry. Half of his neck drooped down, and blood splashed out from the cavity, dyeing the horse's body red. Then Li Yeling's long-handled battle axe hit hard, breaking a scimitar that cut the horse's legs, and slid it hard to the top. The blunt head of the long-handled battle axe hit the chin of the Persian infantry, and immediately smashed his chin, revealing the white bones inside.

The Persian infantry fell to the ground in pain, and then Li Yeling's war horse rushed past, trampling him to the point of vomiting blood. Then the war horses following him were trampled into meat paste.

The advantage of cavalry over infantry is here. Cavalry running at high speed rushes into infantry battle formations, and sometimes they don’t even need to make an attacking posture. They just need to flatten the weapon and face the sharp blade forward. As long as they hold the weapon in their hands and control the height, countless infantry will automatically hit your blade. Therefore, ancient cavalry chose sabers as weapons in large quantities. Li Yeling’s long-handled battle axe is even more powerful. He controls the height to the height of a person’s neck. As long as Persian infantry rubs it, it will be a corpse separated, with broken tendons and broken bones.

Sometimes, killing is so easy.

Alexander's spear was pulled out from the chest of a Persian infantry, bringing up a bunch of blood, and splashing his horse. At this moment, suddenly, behind him, the two Persian infantry showed ferocious faces and stabbed Alexander's back with spears in their hands. The two attacked left and right, but Alexander could not defend this side but could not defend that side.

Looking at the hideous faces of the two, Alexander gritted his teeth and ignored the man on the left. He stabbed the man on the right with a spear in his hand, and raised his left foot upwards, intending to avoid the vital points. He stabbed the man on the right with a shot, but there was no pain coming from his left leg. When he looked back, Hogles had already cut the Persian infantry attacking on the left to death.

Li Yeling smiled at Alexander and shouted: "Alexander, your father, Philip, is still watching you in the sky!"

Alexander also smiled heartily: "Look at which of us killed more people!"

Li Yeling rode his horse forward, raised his right hand, and cut off the head of a Persian infantry with an axe. Then he rode his horse forward, smashing the head of a Persian infantry into a broken brain.

He suddenly felt a pain in his legs. He looked down and saw a feather arrow nailed into his legs, which was trembling on it. Li Yeling pulled down the feather arrows, and the pain that caused the muscles to drive his heart was just a frown. Li Yeling put the arrow cluster next to his nose and smelled it. There was only bloody smell but no sweetness on it. Li Yeling breathed a sigh of relief. There was no poison on it.

Li Yeling waved his long-handled battle axe and rushed towards the place where archers gathered. With just one rush, he killed the archers in scattered.

Originally, these Persian infantry were no match for the first time. After about ten minutes of the surprise troops under Alexander's command, these infantry were already in a mess and could not form a formation.

With Alexander's spear swing, the entire team formed a front arrow formation and rushed towards the Persian formation.

This unstoppable impact broke through the cavalry and infantry intercepts of the Persian Empire, and was only a few hundred meters away from the Persian Empire's original formation. Li Yeling sat on the horse and stretched his neck. He could even see the roof of the luxury carriage reflected by the golden light on Darius III.

Apart from seeing, the two armies have been siege and blocked, and the Persian army has become a little confused, and there is a stir in the team.

Darius III was also very panicked, but at least he remained calm on his face. He waved his right hand heavily. The officer behind him understood and shouted a few words. The gendarmes distributed in the army to maintain order immediately raised their swords and said that the heads of a few soldiers who had just been noisy were chopping down. Seeing this scene, the Persian army's camp was suddenly quiet, and the soldiers were shocked and did not dare to breathe.

Seeing the team quiet, Darius III nodded, and his left hand was circling and pressing, and another small flag fell behind him. The small flag that fell this time was golden.

Seeing the flag verb, another army killed out of the formation. This army was also a cavalry, but they were not riding war horses, but camels one by one. These camels were generally about two meters high, a lot higher than the Macedonian cavalry. The cavalry were wearing heavy armor, and even camels were wearing leather armor. The knights had spears decorated with ornate patterns, and were carrying scimitars on their backs, armed to their teeth.

Li Yeling saw this cavalry from afar. This camel cavalry, which has always existed only in games and novels, has finally encountered it today. Although camels are durable, they are slow and their impact is not particularly strong. Except for in desert areas, they are not used as cavalry mounts. However, this concept was obviously not formed at this time. Li Yeling knew that the Camel cavalry organization had always existed in the "Immortal Army" of the royal guards of the Persian Empire.

Seeing the gorgeous and exquisite armor and weapons on these camel cavalrymen, Li Yeling was basically sure that this was the Immortal Army. When he looked at Alexander, the two of them were excited to extend until they were extended. The Immortal Army was the last line of defense to the King of Guards and would never be used until the critical moment. Now that he encountered the Immortal Army, it means that these Darius III had no available soldiers under his command. As long as they could defeat this cavalry, victory would be in sight!

However, Alexander felt doubts in his heart. The Persian royal army was well-known for hundreds of years and was so powerful that it could be defeated easily?

Li Yeling didn't think so. No matter how elite the army was, it needed the baptism of iron and fire to maintain its vitality. Although these undead soldiers were famous, they had been distant from the battle formation for a long time, they would definitely not be the opponents of the elite Macedonian soldiers who fought south and north.

Alexander's spear has the potential, and thousands of troops galloped behind him.

Li Yeling rushed forward and was still tens of meters away from the camel cavalry, and he smelled a pungent strange smell. The strange smell was combined with the fishy smell, and the smell was so scented that it was so intoxicating that Li Yeling almost vomited it out after smelling it. When he saw that the other Macedonian cavalry around him were like this, covering his nose one by one, his face was ugly.

Li Yeling calmed down and waved the spear in his hand and continued to rush forward. The closer they were to the camel cavalry, the more obvious the fishy smell was. Li Yeling suddenly realized that the fishy smell was actually emitted by the camels, and he couldn't help but feel admiration for the camel knights. How did they endure such a strong smell? Moreover, Li Yeling found that the war horse under his crotch seemed a little irritable and uneasy, so he quickly beat the horse hard to hold it.

This is the advantage of camel cavalry over war horse cavalry. This extremely strong smell will not only make people uncomfortable, but also make war horses irritable. The nose of war horses is three to five times more sensitive than humans.

However, driven by Li Yeling's great force, no irritability could work. He silently drove the horse forward, swung his right battle axe, and slashed the thigh of a camel cavalry. The camel was much taller than the war horse, so Li Yeling would not be able to cut their necks, so he could only settle for the second best.

Your camel cavalry's spear was pressed down and wanted to resist, but Li Yeling cut off the spear with an axe. The spear stabbed into the camel's waist and abdomen. The camel suffered pain and immediately threw the knight on it down and was struck to death by the ten thousand horses who followed him.

Li Yeling roared and rushed straight towards the battle formation of the camel cavalry. With an axe, he opened a Persian cavalry's spear. The axe blade pulled up along the spear and cut off the five fingers of the Persian cavalry who could not stop. Li Yeling followed the momentum and stabbed the sharp axe tip into the Persian cavalry's chest, and he inserted and pulled, and a blood arrow suddenly shot out.

Two camel cavalrymen on the left and right attacked Li Yeling together, and two spears stabbed Li Yeling hard on the chest and back. Li Yeling smiled slightly, and suddenly stood up from the horse with his legs. He gently kicked his right foot on the horse's back and took a meter to the air, avoiding the Persian cavalry's spear behind. At the same time, he swung his long-handled battle axe with his right hand, chopping off the head of the bearded Persian cavalry, and gushed his neck with a blood gushing, spraying half a meter high. Killing the Persian cavalry, using the force of the fall, Li Yeling twisted his waist in the air, and turned around. The long-handled battle axe cut off the spear blocked by the Persian cavalry behind him, chopped in from his right shoulder, and came out fiercely from his left waist, cutting him into two pieces.

Only then did Li Yeling land all over and sat on the horse's back. Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded.

As soon as Li Yeling fell, a cold wind suddenly shook. When this old force had already done its new force, it was too late to react. Li Yeling did not dodge, but just gently turned his body back and with a clang, the spear of the Persian cavalry behind him pierced Li Yeling's back. The spear pierced the already ragged armor and linen clothes outside, but was blocked by the fish scale armor inside Li Yeling. Li Yeling turned around and smiled hideously, swung the long-handled battle axe, cutting the Persian cavalry's throat severely. For a moment, his head rolled to the ground, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Li Yeling is now the arrow of the entire war, and he rushed into the Camel Cavalry's battle formation and killed left and right. He has a great power, no shortage of skills, and has the advantage of weapons. All the factors needed on the battlefield are gathered together. How could these Persian cavalry be his opponent? Li Yeling no longer remembers how many people he killed during the rushing journey, but there are always forty or fifty.

Alexander, Matherus and others, some of the most elite cavalry followed him and formed a huge triangular arrow, and shot it into the battle formation of the camel cavalry.

Li Yeling fought all the way, just killing people all the way. The people and horses had turned into blood red, and there were enemies and their own. How could this battle formation not be hurt?

Suddenly, Li Yeling opened his eyes, which were already covered in blood, and saw that the Persian formation was not far away in front of him, and behind him were the camel cavalry who had just come out to intercept. This charge actually penetrated these Persian cavalry back and forth.

After wiping the blood on his face, Li Yeling looked back and saw about four or five hundred cavalry following him, and the other Macedonian cavalry were fighting with the camel cavalry.

Li Yeling smiled and said, "Alexander, what should we do now? Should we turn back and kill the enemy or rush towards Darius III?"

Alexander waved his spear and pointed directly at Darius III's carriage, and shouted: "Of course we're going to kill Darius III!"
