Clearkus looked at the much thicker phalanx in the center of the enemy, and then at the enemy's left flank, which was longer than his own. Although he fully supported Cyrus from the beginning, it does not mean that he will follow his orders. He bluntly refused: "His Royal Highness, I think we should first defeat the enemy's left wing and flanks the enemy's midway. This is more secure."

"I know Artaxerxes, the Persian army, and your Greek phalanx! Believe me, my friend, your army will easily defeat the army of Artaxerxes! Artaxerxes is defeated No matter how many troops he has, it's useless!" Little Cyrus persuaded.

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

Little Cyrus frowned and stared at Klarkus, but there was no time for him to organize words to persuade him. As for the forced order, the opponent is a mercenary, not his subordinate.

"Well, just do what you said!" Little Cyrus turned his horse's head. Suddenly pulled the reins and galloped back.

……………………

When the two armies were about 500 meters apart, the Greek soldiers began to sing the chants of Ares, the **** of war, and marched forward.

When the carols are finished, they are less than two hundred meters apart.

"Aris!!!" The soldiers shouted in unison, began to jog, and ran faster and faster... Tens of thousands of Greek heavy infantry gathered into "Boom! Boom! Boom!... …" The sound of footsteps is like the sound of rolling thunder that gathers energy and will use lightning to cut through the dark night!

The Persian on the opposite side seemed to be completely frightened by the torrent of iron and steel in front of him. As the Greek army got closer and closer, except for a few hob carriages that rushed into the Greek army, accompanied by screams, wringed limbs and broken arms, and finally disappeared silently, the others had forgotten to release their arrows because of fear. , Forgot the vertical shield.

When the two armies were more than ten meters apart, the Persians collapsed and they turned and fled.

The Greeks did not expect the victory to come so quickly, and their energy has not yet been vented, they will pursue the enemy more vigorously.

In the beginning, small captains such as Hiros repeatedly reminded teammates: "Keep in line, don't run too fast! Keep in line..."

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

…………………

Little Cyrus in the middle didn't expect the victory of the right wing to come so quickly, and he was a little dazed for a while.

"King Cyrus, long live!!!" The attendants have begun to brandish their spears, shouting victory.

"His Royal Highness, shall we follow and pursue?" Altapatus asked him for instructions.

He shook his head and looked straight to his left front.

He knows very well that only by killing that person can he obtain the supreme crown.

"Pass the order! Let Alireus' left wing stop and prepare for defense!" Cyrus immediately gave the order. He knew very well that his most powerful force was the Greek mercenaries. Since the Greeks had repelled the enemy's left wing, he didn't need to rush to let the left wing, which had obviously less force than the enemy, go head-to-head with the enemy's right wing. In case of a quick defeat, this battle will be troublesome. It is better to delay the time as much as possible and wait for the return of the Greek mercenaries who chased the defeated army. Then the victory will be guaranteed.

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

Soon, his face changed.

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

"Not good! They want to attack the Greeks!!" Altapatus who was next to him shouted out.

The Greek heavy-armored infantry, who are being scattered due to chasing the ruined army, are likely to fall into chaos if the enemy is attacked from behind, and the battle will be reversed.

"Alta Xerxes, how dare you change your formation on the battlefield, do you really think that I have few cavalry and dare not take the initiative to attack!" Cyrus sneered and made a decision quickly in his heart. He raised his spear and pointed forward: "Order the right wing to speed up! The cavalry will attack with me!"

"His Royal Highness, please put on a helmet!" The attendant hurriedly handed over his helmet. Little Cyrus had already galloped out, and the attendants on the left and right hurried to catch up and quickly guard him in the center.

More than 800 cavalry formed a wedge-shaped formation and galloped straight toward the Persian king's army.

Alta Geseth, the commander of the Persian Army's Central Route, did not expect that Cyrus would attack at this time and hurriedly dispatched his cavalry forward to meet him. However, the team was changing formations at this moment. The mighty and mighty array of infantry in rotation blocked the cavalry's advancing passage, and it was hard to squeeze out a thousand cavalry from the gap between the array.

A group of people shouted horses, and the Persian army's hastily pieced together cavalry line of defense was instantly torn apart.

Then, Cyrus’s cavalry pierced like a sharp knife into the back of the part of the Persian King’s Army that was turning back.

Little Cyrus was brave and tough, and once hunted black bears alone. People gather in groups, and his cavalry and followers are also warriors. They don’t even waste spears when facing their enemies. Let go, otherwise you will be pushed off the horse by the reaction force), use the horsepower of the high-speed charge to break into the array and crush the enemy.

Affected by the defeat of the left wing, he was suddenly hit hard. The Persian infantry who was the first to flee, and Cyrus's cavalry took advantage of the situation to hunt down. And little Cyrus vaguely saw the carriage of the Persian king in the dust. It turned out that the main force on the left of the Persian Chinese army was defeated and a big gap was formed, which naturally exposed the Persian king in the back to the front.

"Left!!" Cyrus waved his spear with excitement, bypassing the right flank of the Persian Middle Army who had come to the rescue, and thrust into the Persian Queen Army diagonally. Dozens of cavalry followed closely behind.

"Hurry up! Protect the king!!" Alta Geseth, the general of the Prince of Persia, yelled, and hurriedly led dozens of guard cavalry around him to meet him first.

In the face of the swarming enemy horses, Cyrus did not look afraid. He drew out the Greek saber, clamped the horse belly with his legs, saw the timing, and pierced Alta Geseth with the spear in his right hand. With the spear coming, the left saber stretched out without any effort. When the two horses crossed and passed, Alta Geseth’s neck was naturally cut open by the forward horsepower of the Greek saber...

Little Cyrus, with his superb skills and horsemanship, killed several people in a row. Soon, his cavalry caught up and blocked other enemy horses for him. Only the circle of royal guards around the carriage remained between him and the Persian king Artaxerxes, and he could even clearly see his brother's horrified face.

Thinking of his imprisonment, thinking that he occupies the throne that should be his own (this is just the imagination of young Cyrus, the old Persian king had not considered passing the throne to him), the anger was in his chest Burning: "Alta Xerxes!" He roared, and threw the spear in his hand. In his exclamation, the spear passed through the gap between the royal guards like lightning and hit the Persian king in the chest.

The King of Persia screamed and fell on the carriage.

Seeing the fall of the Persian king, there was chaos in front of me. His anger finally vented out, and he laughed wanton, as if the Persian crown had been obtained, but did not hear the cavalry cavalry behind him also eagerly shout: "Be careful, your lord! Be careful!..."

The laughter stopped abruptly. A javelin flew out of the chaotic crowd and it just hit his eye socket.

Without a word, he fell over immediately...
