Although there is no scene like in the movie "Hero", the descendants of the Song Dynasty still paid tribute to their predecessors of the Qin Dynasty as much as possible.
The overwhelming arrows soared into the air after Li Ning and others approached, and passed over the heads of the Macedonians from the air, and then struck the Persians' helmets, shoulders, chests, and their horses.
The Macedonians immediately let out a burst of cheers, but the Song soldiers could only let out a lucky breath, and then climbed onto the ship with limp hands and feet.
Li Ning also got on the warship and was quickly sent to Pang Ji. Several other local Fujian generals took over the work of gathering the army.
"Who are we going to fight this time?" Pang Ji opened his mouth and asked.
"No one is going to fight. Just come and watch the fun. Watch how people fight."
Pang Ji let out a long breath: "I know."
He slowly sat back in his chair and continued: "I brought 7,000 infantry and 3,000 naval troops. The armies of several other states and counties are still on the way. I thought it was some kind of war. But I was scared to death. ”
"It's time for those troops to move around. They are too neglected to train." Li Ning responded casually, but then asked in shock: "Are there so many forbidden troops on Fujian Road?"
"They are not all forbidden troops. There are Xiang troops, rural soldiers, archers, everything. I also asked me to recruit a few of the maritime merchant fleets. Do you know? The people are far more afraid of this matter than we are. We are I didn’t realize it until they won the battle, but they were robbed.”
"We didn't win, we scared away the enemy. We have to be clear about this. The light curtain is a place where opportunities and dangers coexist. Our Emperor Song is poor and weak..."
The words "poverty and weakness" inevitably hurt Pang Ji's sovereignty and self-esteem.
Therefore, he slowly raised his hand to signal and interrupted softly: "I, Emperor Song, are actually worthy of a fight."
"Really? But didn't you say that the archers were just formed and have no fighting power at all..."
"They don't have much combat power. The main reason is that the training is too lax and they can't be used at all. But if you put a finger on it, their 'new' word is actually not worthy of the name - how should I put it, probably because it is too worrying to be able to use it." The mark of erasure.”
"Then when were they summoned?"
"The second year of Ming Dao."
"Wouldn't that be another three years?"
"right."
"What a new team. It's just that the training is a bit lacking. The south is not as good as the north and doesn't have as much free time."
"Yeah - no, no."
"What's wrong?"
Pang Ji heard that he seemed to be thinking of something else, so he asked curiously.
Li Ning indeed suddenly remembered his previous doubts. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, although there were often plans to recruit archers, most of them were related to border areas. Thinking about the situation involving Fujian Road, in Li Ning's memory, it seems that it only happened once during the Qingli period.
But that should be a few years later.
Could it be that history has quietly changed before?
So he asked cautiously: "What was the situation at that time?"
Pang Ji recalled for a while and replied: "In the second year of Ming Dynasty, the Queen Mother did not hesitate to grant a general amnesty to the world for the sake of welfare. Then a Kuang Sheng was released and came from overseas from Yunnan. He reported to Your Majesty some important matters of life and death. At the right time, the Emperor will personally take charge of the affairs of the country. Wanting to show off his grand plans, he was naturally willing to meet. The two discussed secretly for a long time, but they didn't know what the content was. However, there were rumors that the emperor was furious because of his monstrous words to confuse the public and his false claims of innocence, so he was driven out of the palace. Some of the servants on the left and right wanted to kill him. Then quickly, but the emperor has always been generous and stopped asking. In March, the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu passed away. The emperor suddenly sent people to look for this person everywhere, and issued several edicts, including recruiting archers, forging firearms, etc. Thirteen A measure. People in the world have said that it was the plan proposed by Kuangsheng. However, due to the fruitless search, it cannot be confirmed. "
Li Ning was shocked and said subconsciously: "How does this look like a time traveler's story? That's the result..."
"What time traveler? Do you mean people who have traveled through time?" Pang Ji was a little panicked. If there was a time-travel incident three years ago, then...
He thought about it for a long time. Suddenly a sentence popped out: "Then why have we not fought in three years, and why did we fight here? Why am I so unlucky?"
Li Ning was speechless for a while. He quickly patted Pang Ji to calm him down.
At the same time, he was also happy. He defined all time travel as time travel, so Alexander was also a time traveler. But such a time traveler is not in line with the cognition of later generations, and certainly not in line with Li Ning's cognition. Therefore, the "travelers" that Li Ning subconsciously mentioned actually refer to the time travelers from later generations like him.
At least, he was someone who knew the fate of the Song Dynasty as well as he did and campaigned for it.
It's just that a dear friend was a bit irresponsible and disappeared after shouting twice.
Just as he was teasing, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty burst into cheers.
Li Ning took a look and saw that it was Mitrobuzansi's army that had withdrawn. I guess it was his second note that had an effect.
Sure enough, on the eastern horizon, a large army was gathering in an orderly manner. Apparently Alexander was ready to take action.
In order to deal with this lion, the Persians must recall their elite Cappadocia cavalry.
Therefore, Mitrobuzans can only give up the offense here.
Later, Li Ning said to Pang Ji, "We have to cross the river! We have to hold on to the light curtain!"
"Okay!" Pang Ji waved his hand and ordered the ship to go straight to the other shore.
Li Ning was shocked - for such a defensive task, the coach could just sit near the light curtain, why bother to take risks himself?
However, he soon understood that these soldiers of the Song Dynasty really needed the personal demonstration of the generals.
And these are soldiers who have been trained for three years. If they were original soldiers, they would probably have even less combat effectiveness.
People without fighting ability will always appear cautious in front of those with fighting ability.
Although the Persians had withdrawn, the Song Dynasty army still did not dare to approach. If Alexander's army wasn't about to launch an attack, Li Ning would have had to worry about the comfort of these losers.
However, after the previous battle, the Persian army no longer dared to underestimate Li Ning and others. A mere thousand men can cause chaos in their formation, but now that the number of troops has increased to ten thousand, it naturally becomes more troublesome.
Therefore, they placed Memnon's 20,000 infantry in front of Li Ning, trying to use the Greek phalanx to block Li Ning's possible attack.
This made Memnon ecstatic, and he happened to avoid the tragic frontal battlefield.
Li Ning was also overjoyed when he saw this: "If you are sleepy, you have a pillow! Let the soldiers in front stabilize the defense line. After the battle in the east is over, we can talk about our affairs."
Pang Ji sent someone to deliver the order, and then asked: "Are these the 20,000 Greek mercenaries?"
"That's right."
"They were still wearing straw sandals and looked like..."
"Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people, and unruly people are good at fighting."
Pang Ji stopped talking. This logic reminded him of the folks in his hometown, but Jingdong Road was the most prosperous administrative division in the Song Dynasty. Although it took advantage of its vast area - about the same size as Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and Guangdong was also inferior - how could it be considered Are there unruly people coming out of poor mountains and rivers?
In fact, Pang Ji was right. Folk customs have little to do with mountains and rivers. Leaving aside Jingdong Road, how can Greece, the birthplace of blue ocean civilization, be considered a poor place?
The Greeks' ability to conquer and conquer and the Han Dynasty's ability to conquer and conquer hundreds of years later share the same mystery.
Thankfully, Li Ning can further explore this mystery through time travel.
But unfortunately, through this battle, the real reason cannot be found.
Because in this battle, the Persians made a serious mistake that was easy to overlook in history.
Even Pang Ji saw this mistake.
"Those gangsters!"
The future Prime Minister of the Imperial Song Dynasty made a wonderful comment with a ridicule.
Li Ning looked in the direction he pointed and couldn't help but laugh.
Astis deserved to be kicked to death by a donkey. He actually placed the infantrymen holding spears behind the cavalry. The cavalry were arrayed on the river beach, which was not spacious. Not to mention the lack of space for impact, they only had javelins and other throwing weapons with no accuracy.
If we slow down and let the spearmen be deployed on the entry and exit river beaches, then when the enemy crosses the river, they will face sharp blades like tropical jungles.
The horse will panic as a result.
Now, the Persians decided to let their horses rush into the river.
Will the horses charge?
Do you think all mammals are mentally retarded?
In turn, the Macedonian horses will land hard due to the remaining blessing of the ball.
These stupid Persians, wait for death.
What can such an army do?
Li Ning was thinking about it while explaining something to Pang Ji.
At some point, Ferotas, accompanied by Puyane, appeared behind the two of them. The latter is translating for the former in ancient Greek, which he is not fluent in.
As expected by Li Ning, when Alexander's brother Ptolemy commanded the famous Socrates cavalry squadron to cross the beach, the charging Persian cavalry realized that their speed could not be called impactful. .
However, there are still many of them.
The Ptolemy of Philip's family may really be inferior to his brother Ptolemy. His impact slowly lost its initial momentum under the enemy's fierce counterattack.
However, the right-wing cavalry, commanded by Alexander himself, quickly rushed here.
Originally, Ferotas was supposed to be in this position, but today Amintas took his place.
And the charge of these people seemed full of vigor.
The Persians' major flaws in their formation finally began to be revealed. After all, their numerical advantage had been wiped out by the arrival of Macedonian reinforcements.
Now that the situation has become passive, the performance of the generals becomes particularly important.
So the commanders, including the two governors, engaged in the fiercest fight with Alexander himself.
The first to appear was Mitrobeuzance. This guy was already restless, and the operation of exploring the light curtain at dawn ended in a disastrous failure. As a result, the flanks of the military formation were still under threat, which aggravated the uncertainty in his heart. So he was eager to end this war as soon as possible.
Therefore, when he discovered the two feathers swinging on Alexander's helmet, he immediately shouted and rushed forward. Rosax, who was injured but still insisted on fighting, had no time to stop him, and finally had no choice but to rush forward.
Next, it was time to fully demonstrate Alexander's personal power.
He stabbed Mitrobuzans to death with one blow from the spear in his hand. Although his own spear was also broken, he quickly took a new one from his fellow cavalrymen, and then met with Direct dialogue with Rosax.
As a result of the conversation, Rosax fell in a pool of blood in pain.
At this time, Spiridatis, who was hiding in the crowd, rushed towards the pressure from behind.
If the spear in his hand stabs the opponent in the back, Macedonia will have to find a new king. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done on the battlefield, but their invasion of Persia will inevitably be interrupted because of this.
However, his sneak attack was not successful. Because Cleitas had been guarding Alexander, when she discovered the sneak attacker, she had already rushed back to him with the weapon in her hand.
One arm flew out like in history.
