"It turned out to be an illusion."
Arisu worships Afti as a god, which is based on the confidence brought by his past understanding.
He commanded the soldiers: "Move the battle formation forward, let us teach the invaders from the east a lesson!"
The people behind them formed a formation, and the long war spears in their hands pointed forward.
The Macedonian phalanx, known as the most powerful cold weapon, is a phalanx composed of infantry, cavalry, and heavy cavalry.
The front line of infantry carried Macedonian spears, which were operated with two hands.
Its spear was not as long as two feet in the early days. It gradually evolved to a longer size. Its main function was to ward off enemies.
There is a weight on the end of the spear to facilitate balance and double as a backup weapon when the spear breaks.
The soldiers in the phalanx used their round shields to protect their left side, while also covering the right side of their adjacent comrades. Once the soldier in the front row falls, the soldiers in the second row will quickly fill the gap left by him.
And so on.
Each square formation is composed of at least five teams in depth, and each layer is filled with reinforcements, making it invincible.
The first row of soldiers usually squatted half-crouched, pointing their spears forward.
The soldiers in the second row put their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in the first row.
This can enhance the lethality of facing cavalry head-on.
The essence of the entire phalanx tactic is that all soldiers work together and advance together. Those who escape before the battle will be severely punished.
They are also supported by light infantry and have good mobility.
The rear formation is equipped with heavy cavalry to attack the enemy.
Once this kind of array is formed, it will force soldiers to die. If they want to survive, they must fight the enemy bravely and persist until the end.
Because there are only two outcomes: death or victory.
After forming a formation, soldiers will move forward bravely, whether for personal or national honor. The dense array made all the soldiers seem like one unit, with no place to run if they wanted to.
Therefore, the Macedonian phalanx is indestructible in defense and invincible in attack.
It has been handed down for thousands of years and is known as one of the strongest battle formations.
There are also auxiliary soldiers in the queue, with javelins, bows and arrows and slings as the main weapons to assist.
When this army was ordered to move forward, all the Macedonians, whether they were generals or soldiers, thought that they would win.
No enemy can withstand the impact of the Macedonian phalanx.
However, the Han army in front was in a tight battle formation and was full of murderous intent. Under the cover of fog, its power was no weaker than the Macedonian phalanx.
Although the Macedonian soldiers were ordered to move forward, they were tense and prepared for a fierce battle.
However, just as the battle formation moved forward and the spears in front pierced into the mist, the Han army's formation disappeared into thin air.
A gust of wind blew, and the previously formidable military formation disappeared without a trace.
All the Macedonian soldiers felt relieved.
It was indeed a false illusion and vulnerable to attack.
From behind, Arisu said as expected: "Priest Avti's insight into reality is absolutely correct.
Order, keep pushing! "
Doakes also heaved a sigh of relief: "Being able to see through the authenticity of the other party at a glance and decipher his skills, I can't blame everyone in Macedonia for praising Afti's name."
Arisu glanced at Afti and smiled.
A young lieutenant behind him also laid his eyes on Afti, with undisguised admiration and admiration, and said proudly: "Priest Afti, I am one of the two brightest pearls in Macedonia.
She has been blessed by both the God of War and the God of Wisdom. Even if it goes back hundreds of years, she is the most talented priest chosen by God in Macedonia. "
While the few people were talking, the Macedonian army array continued to advance, breaking through the fog blocking the road ahead.
On the other side, after Huo Qubing made the arrangements, he stretched out his hand, and the scene inside the fog of war that he had evolved appeared in front of him.
In the mist, the area hundreds of feet south of the battlefield, where the divine palace merged with heaven and earth, seemed to become infinitely large, becoming a battlefield controlled and affected by Huo Qubing.
All kinds of military skills, the role of Shenfu is buried in them, and they circulate in turn.
"The method used by Huo Hou is the legendary temple calculation method of military strategists. The true and false are all in one mind. How similar is it to the secret realm of the military mansion in the northern suburbs of Chang'an?" Gongsun Hong said, well-informed.
Huo Qubing hummed.
Gongsun Hong thought for a while: "I read in ancient books that only a half-saint of military strategists can perform military exercises, turn things upside down, and use military skills to transfer heaven and earth. This is a great art and a representative art of the Yin and Yang family of soldiers." One of the methods is known as controlling ghosts and gods and making endless changes.”
Huo Qubing hummed again.
What's wrong with the Half Saint? Is it weird that the Nine Realms can use the military skills of a Half Saint?
Gongsun Hong smacked his lips and looked at the secret technique of the Bing Yin Yang family developed by Huo Qubing.
Behind her, Song Ran, who had small breasts and an expression of disdain, also moved forward.
Bai Nanyu also moved forward and peeked at Huo Qubing with her watery peach blossom eyes.
In the picture, the Macedonian soldiers were ordered to push forward and had penetrated deep into the battle formation.
Gongsun Hong frowned: "What kind of battle formation did they use, with such a tight front?"
"The Macedonian phalanx is similar to our roller formation.
However, the roller formation takes into account the saving of troops, so it is called a roller. It has the change of soldiers advancing and retreating in rotation, which saves the loss of troops. It is not as simple and efficient as the Macedonian phalanx, which only seeks lethality and reduces the steps of rotation. There are almost no flaw. "Huo Qubing explained simply.
"They have entered the formation and seem to have seen through the reality of the formation set up by the Marquis." Song Ran said.
Gongsun Hong said dumbly: "You underestimate the military yin and yang skills. How can it be so simple?"
In the Shenfu military formation, in front of the Macedonian soldiers, the seemingly formidable Han army array was constantly being touched and dissipated, becoming an illusion.
The nervousness of the Macedonian infantry when they first entered the battle could not help but relax a little.
But just as they advanced to an area of more than a hundred feet within the formation, the fog suddenly became thicker.
Roar!
Patterns of military formations appeared on the ground, and in the consciousness of the Macedonian soldiers, an earth-shattering tiger roar sounded in their ears.
This roar is ear-piercing and soul-stirring.
It makes people feel as if their consciousness has been invaded by the sword energy, stirring and tearing, giving them a splitting headache, and some people's eyebrows are even bleeding.
The mist changed one after another, and two groups of Han troops rushed out.
Holding swords from both sides, he charged into the flanks of the Macedonian army.
At this time, the Macedonian soldiers who were deep in the military formation were roaring like thunder in their consciousness, and almost lost their reaction. Some people were hacked to death one after another.
The Macedonian phalanx, because its weapons were too long and its flanks were relatively weak, made it difficult to change formations.
Cavalry was needed to fill the gaps in the phalanx's flanks.
From behind, Arisu noticed the changes in the mist and ordered: "The cavalry will follow up. If the enemy attacks my flank, kill them!"
Boom boom boom!
The sound of hoofbeats was heavy, and the heavy cavalry in the rear ranks rode into the formation to cover both sides of their square formation.
But after they entered the formation, heavy fog billowed in the formation, covering the sky and the sun, and completely submerged the cavalry and infantry formations.
A hundred feet away outside the formation, it was difficult for Arisu, Afti and others to see clearly where the soldiers and horses in the formation were going, as everything was covered and swallowed by the mist.
Faintly, the screams within the formation could only be heard getting denser and denser.
It seems that the Macedonian soldiers who entered the array are being killed in large numbers.
Afti murmured softly, her blue eyes glowing with light, and she quickly saw the scene in the mist clearly.
"Alternating true and false, the opponent hides real troops in the array and uses them to attack."
Avti's face was calm, and the glimmer of light flowing on her fingertips pointed forward: "God said that in the face of her wisdom, all falsehood will disappear!"
There was an ancient bronze book in her hand.
When she opened the book, she softly recited the divine curse in the book and stretched out her hand again.
In the fog-shrouded area, the sky above the sky seems to have arrived early, and wisps of light fall down, illuminating the fog below.
However, what appeared in the mist illuminated by the light was a terrifying scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The Macedonian soldiers who entered the military formation were all swallowed up by waves of blood.
The divine palace evolved from a military strategist, full of murderous intentions, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, are the essence of this military formation.
Afti was a little surprised and frowned.
The power of this mist array was slightly beyond her judgment.
However, she only used the most superficial level of divine magic.
The next moment, Avti's whole body was glowing, and she was blessed by gods!
She got off her horse and walked towards the thick fog.
Doakes said in shock: "Priest Avti, do you want to enter the thick fog yourself?"
Afti held an ancient bronze book in her hand and said, "They are just illusions. I will destroy them when I enter the formation. You guys wait outside the formation." The words disappeared into the mist.
The ancient book in her hand turned into a light source, spreading a dazzling light and dispersing the fog.
But Afti still couldn't see the whereabouts of the Macedonian soldiers who came in before her.
There was no trace of more than 6,000 infantry, 2,000 heavy cavalry, and 8,000 people.
Afti felt as if he had walked into a sea of fog, and the divine power of exploration concluded that this sea of fog was boundless.
This is of course impossible.
Obviously, even her magical power couldn't see through the fog in the formation.
For the first time, Avti felt that things were out of her control.
She murmured in her mouth, and a shield-shaped halo the size of her fingertip lit up between her eyebrows.
On the shield, there are countless smaller symbols of divine power, like twinkling stars.
Behind her, the shadow of a female god appeared faintly.
Avti has used the blessing given to her by the goddess of wisdom.
She moved forward again, and the fog finally lifted before her eyes.
She saw what was really happening in the mist.
Corpses everywhere!
In this moment, a large number of Macedonian soldiers were killed.
Huo Qubing's yin and yang skills of war are connected with reality and virtual, and the changes are endless.
Within the scope of the evolution of the God's Mansion, five hundred pro-army troops were hidden. They used mirage dragon beads combined with soldiers from plants and trees to form an illusion. They also used paper tactics to direct the pro-army troops, step on the soldiers' positions, and step forward with blessings to increase their strength. Moving speed.
The twenty magical tactics that have been activated have taken turns to produce wonderful effects, allowing these pro-army soldiers to quickly tear apart the Macedonian array in the divine palace world like heavenly soldiers and generals.
Avti's expression changed continuously on her classically beautiful face.
The ancient book of the gods in her hand rose into the sky, like a bright moon, its light shone brightly, and she wanted to use her divine power to break through the space covered by military skills.
She has realized that she has entered a special military world.
At the moment when the Book of Divine Favors rose into the sky and turned into a bright moon with divine power, a hand reached out from the void and snatched the bronze book away with ease.
Avti staggered, and the shield-shaped mark between her eyebrows dimmed.
Not far ahead, a young man wearing a military uniform with black eyes and black hair walked out, holding a riding crop in one hand and the Book of God's Favor in the other.
"Macedonian?"
Huo Qubing asked casually, unable to understand his words, but the fluctuating messages from his spiritual mind allowed Afti to understand what he meant.
"Invaders from the East!"
Avti responded.
Suddenly, as if jumping in the void, she suddenly appeared next to Huo Qubing's body, her long and toned legs drawn out like a whip.
She is a goddess priest who has been blessed by both war and wisdom. She is not as weak as ordinary priests.
The light of divine power burst out from the top of her feet, piercing Huo Qubing's throat like a spear, which was extremely cruel.
Snapped!
ah!
Avti screamed softly, feeling embarrassed, angry, and shocked.
Her attack was easily neutralized by the opponent, who casually hit her with a whip.
The location...the place she used to ride her horses.
Avti turned around and retreated, trying to reorganize her offensive.
However, the opponent followed him like a shadow, and the small whip came down one after another, with precise landing points, hitting the same place.
Afti's body-protecting power was quickly drained away, and she felt a strong sense of shame, accompanied by burning pain.
When the whip hit her body, it not only hurt, it also knocked away her pride.
how so?
On the way here, I received a revelation from God. It was clear that I came here myself, and with my divine power I could suppress the opponent and win.
The real situation is that she is being whipped...Afti dodges again and again, but to no avail.
The interval and impact point of each whip are exactly the same.
The crackling sound of whips was as fast as a shower.
Afti was so ashamed and angry that she finally couldn't help but said: "Don't... don't fight, don't fight, ah... don't fight."
Huo Qubing sneered and whipped the foreign horse. Not to mention, he had never been beaten before, so it was quite interesting.
The moment he stopped his hand, a halo of divine power appeared under Afti's feet. The gem necklace around her neck fell off, and the divine light was dazzling.
She disappeared in the divine light, and then appeared outside the fusion of heaven and earth in the divine palace, among the queues of Macedonian soldiers and horses.
Huo Qubing did not pursue him.
There is still some use for the Macedonian people to stay.
The moment Afti fell back on the white horse, she felt a sharp pain again, and the traces of the whip were like brand marks that lingered.
He must have been beaten to pieces.
Avti released a ray of divine light, covering the area where she was whipped so that no one would notice.
"I will repay you twice as much for the humiliation you have given me, and I will never give up."
A thought passed through her mind, and she thought fiercely.
Doakes on the side asked eagerly: "Priest Avti, what is the scene in the fog? Have you ever cracked it?"
Afti said solemnly: "The opponent is close to...the level of a worldly god. If we want to break this military formation, we need at least four high priests to unite. We don't have enough manpower."
Doakes changed his tone and said: "Then what should we do now?"
"As long as you don't enter the war array he has set up, you won't be affected by its power."
While they were talking, the mist not far away began to dissipate.
The covered battlefield on the opposite side was revealed.
Doakes saw the battlefield in the distance, the blood drained from his face, and he looked horrified.
The reason why the Shenfu military formation dissipated was because of the confrontation on the battlefield, and the overall situation was decided.
There were corpses everywhere on the other side, and the Parthian and Armenian coalition forces were defeated miserably.
The more than 70,000 coalition troops were defeated by the Han army of 10,000 people on two battlefields.
The nearly 30,000 elite Macedonians who came later were blocked by Huo Qubing's military formations and a small number of pro-army troops. They had no place to use them and suffered heavy losses.
This battle, if spread, will become a legend!
