Chapter 19 (2/2)

Behind the chariots were the cavalryMost of the horses were slightly around 4 h, which was obviously shorter co that Davos saw at the Olympic Games in his previous lifeThey have bridle but no saddles and not to mention stirrups, they only place a thick blanket on the back of the horseThe riders, wear helmets, while some wear a soft hats, there is no leather armor or shi+eld and they all wear short robesThey have a variety of weapons in their hands, bows are the most, followed by javelin, then spears, and a feith short e infantry unit was on displayAfter looking at it for a while, Davos found that the the Persian infantry were a e shi+eld, the shi+eld height is up to the shoulder, while its width is able to hide a person, closely followed by a spearman, then 6-7 archers and it will repeat

This is very similar to the Persian infantry combat formation mentioned by Antonios, when the enemy arrives, the shi+eldman were in the first row and the shi+eld walls they erect will protect the for ene up the shi+eld wallThe archers in the rear will use their bows and arrows to kill a large numbers of enemyWhether they are shi+eldmen, spearmen or achers, they all have a coht armor and some with no armorCoee lethality, strong et defeated by the Greeks in battle, because in a head-on battle, their infantry wasn’t an opponent at all under the impact of the Greek’s hopliteThe characteristics of the Persian Ar and harassment, and evenwarfare

The two ar happened, just a false alarm

After this interlude, the troops quickly entered MediaThis land once nurtured the fierce Medians and the Median kingdohtmare for the people of Mesopotalory has ceased and for some reasons, this land under the Persian rule has become somewhat desolate and the terrain became uneven

Due to the decrease ofbetween the two aran to increase whenever they cas it really works! If I have another day’s walk today, my calf would have been too swollen for me to move in the afternoon, but now I don’t have to worry about that!” Hielos exclais

“Of course, Davos is ‘God’s Favored’! He is blessed by Hades, and the ideas that he came up with can’t fail! Now, un to learn how to use leg bindings!” Olivos proudly said

Davos didn’t speak, and now that he’s hearing so htly nus he had known in his previous life were only meant to improve the soldiers’ situation and further enhance his influence in Menon’s cae in the situation of the Greek mercenaries as a whole

“Davos, there’s a ru in the troops these days that the Persians are going to take action against us and give us to the Persian king as slaves after we’ve been capturedDo you think…this is true?!” The voice of Giorgris came from the corner

This is exactly what Davos had been thinkingAlthough the suspicions between the two armies had existed before, such ru everyone knows about it and from his past experience it is impossible if no one deliberately spread it

‘Is it the Persian? Or our own? Why do they want to spread such ru the Greeks nervous and collapse?’ Davos had no clue for the aze, with a bitter smile in his heart, he calmly said, “We have all been safe these days, so don’t be nervous and we all just need to be vigilant!”

Just then, a hting again!” Hielos saw the bruises on Matonis’ face and said with a slight reproach

Matonis spat a mouthful of blood and said excitedly, “Despite the Persians being weak in battle, but when it co, they aren’t weakWe have ether with Martius, but it still took a lot of effort beating 20 of the his cheeks and pretending to be”

“What is it?” asked Hielos

Matonis looked at the crowd and said loudly, “Further on is the territory of Cyrus the Younger and his es in there and they are relatively wealthy!”

“So we can finally eat soood!” Olivos cried happily

The others were also slightly excited, since they haven’t eaten well these days
