This was the most shocking day in Sword Immortal Ling Xu's life, and it was also the most tragic battle he had ever seen.
Under Zhao Chenfeng's encouragement, hundreds of thousands of ordinary humans jumped into this gap with the conviction that they would die, and they used their bodies to form a city wall.
"Everyone, hold on!"
When this human wall was just formed, the warhorses of the Macedonian Imperial Guard Legion had already galloped to the front of the city wall. The humans didn't even have time to open fire before they collided with these cavalrymen.
Alexander the Great, who was charging at the front, looked at this human wall with a disdainful expression.
This human wall wasn't very tall. It was only about three to four meters tall, and it was formed by two to three people stacked on top of each other.
If this kind of city wall was built with stones, then Alexander the Great might find it very troublesome, and he would have to dismount to think of a way to get over it.
However, this city wall was indeed built with human flesh, and this made Alexander the Great feel extremely disdainful.
In Alexander the Great's eyes, as long as his warhorses charged forward with great inertia, this human wall would be crushed into a pile of minced meat in an instant.
"Charge!
Charge! "
Alexander the Great shouted loudly, and he was the first to charge at the human wall … Alexander the Great could clearly see that the person in front of him was a young man in his twenties or thirties. This young man looked at Alexander the Great with great fear in his eyes, and his body kept trembling as if he was going to turn around and run in the next second.
"Poor little guy!"
Although Alexander the Great said that, he actually didn't feel any pity. What he loved the most was the thrill of trampling on the corpses of his enemies with his horse's hooves.
At first, it was just as Alexander the Great expected. Under the impact of his horse's hooves, this young man in his twenties or thirties was immediately kicked in the head. His entire face was caved in by the horse's hooves, and all sorts of red and white things that looked like tofu gushed out of his broken head. This pitiful but heroic warrior died under the hooves of Alexander the Great.
The death of this soldier was a signal, and the cavalrymen who were following behind King Alexander did the same thing. They rammed into the wall of human flesh, trying to crush this overconfident wall of human flesh into meat paste.
There were also many people who sacrificed their precious lives like this warrior who had his head crushed by Alexander's warhorse … In fact, those who died first were considered lucky. Those who didn't die first could only watch as their intestines, hearts, and other internal organs flowed out of their stomachs. They suffered the most painful torture in their lives before dying on the battlefield.
However, that was the end of Alexander the Great's plan. The wall of human flesh didn't instantly collapse under the impact of the horse hooves. Although the wall of human flesh shook and fell, it withstood the most powerful impact as Alexander the Great expected. The wall of human flesh didn't show any signs of collapsing.
Once the wall of human flesh stopped the first wave of impact, the situation instantly turned around and became extremely disadvantageous for Alexander the Great's Elite Legion. The cavalrymen in the front were stopped, but the second and third waves of cavalrymen couldn't stop immediately. The inertia of the warhorses forced them to continue charging forward. Therefore, the second and third waves of cavalrymen often rammed into the first wave of cavalrymen.
The first wave of cavalrymen and warhorses tragically followed in the footsteps of the humans who died before them. They were trampled into meat paste by the second and third waves of cavalrymen. If Alexander the Great didn't order the fourth and fifth waves of cavalrymen to turn around and go around a big bend, the second and third waves of cavalrymen would also be trampled to death by the fourth and fifth waves of cavalrymen.
"What is going on?"
Even though Alexander the Great was under great pressure, his head was stomped on by a cavalryman behind him, and he almost fainted from the pain … … If Alexander the Great's body wasn't tough enough, he would have died just like that soldier who was stomped to death by him.
Alexander the Great leaped up from his mount that had its legs broken on the human flesh wall. Then, he swung his sword and killed the humans beside him. Now, he was at the top of the human flesh wall … … From this position, Alexander the Great could finally see the entire wall of human flesh.
It turned out that this human flesh wall was different from what Alexander the Great had imagined. In Alexander's imagination, this human flesh wall was only made up of two to three rows of humans stacked on top of each other, and his warhorses could easily break it … … However, the reality was that this human flesh wall was made up of 20 to 30 rows of humans stacked on top of each other, and the thickness of the human flesh wall was about seven to eight meters … … This thickness was no different from ordinary stone walls. No wonder the human flesh wall could break the hooves of his elite Elite Legion.
"Open fire!"
Alexander the Great seemed to have heard someone giving the order, and the human flesh wall instantly scattered. The surviving humans picked up the guns in their hands with fear and anger, and they started to shoot at the cavalrymen who were lucky enough to survive the charge.
Facing dozens of guns at the same time, even the most elite of the guards would not be able to withstand it. These soldiers were almost instantly turned into sieves by the humans.
Alexander the Great's armor was very fancy, and it was obvious that he was a general of the Imperial Guard Legion. Therefore, he was naturally targeted by the humans. Dozens of guns aimed at Alexander the Great at the same time, and the bullets hit Alexander the Great's armor like raindrops.
Fortunately, Alexander the Great's armor was made from extremely tough materials, and it had unparalleled defensive abilities. Therefore, these bullets couldn't penetrate Alexander the Great's armor. Instead, the bullets bounced off Alexander the Great's armor and hit the humans themselves, causing a lot of casualties.
"Stop shooting!
Don't attack that General! "
The human commander seemed to have realized that using guns to attack Alexander the Great would only hurt his own people, so he decisively ordered them to stop shooting.
"Ah!"
At the same time, Alexander the Great let out a furious roar after seeing the heavy casualties of his elite guards due to such a stupid reason. Then, he swung his huge sword and killed the humans around him crazily.
These humans couldn't resist Alexander the Great at all, and in the blink of an eye, tens of them died under his sword.
"Infantry, charge at my position and tear an opening for me!"
After killing so many humans, Alexander the Great regained some of his calmness and rationality. He knew that if he tried to charge at the human flesh wall, the result would be the same. Therefore, he could only use the infantry to forcefully tear an opening for the cavalrymen to pass through. Otherwise, the cavalrymen wouldn't be able to charge into the core area.
Alexander the Great's plan was good. He knew that he was almost invincible among these human soldiers. These humans were physically weak, and the bullets in their hands couldn't penetrate Alexander the Great's armor. As long as Alexander the Great's infantry cooperated with him, they would be able to tear an opening for the cavalrymen to pass through.
Although Alexander the Great's plan was good, something unexpected happened. A General who was as strong as him and was wearing the same sturdy armor stood in front of Alexander the Great.
"Yang Jian!
Have you defected to the enemy? "
Alexander the Great roared angrily at Yang Jian. Yang Jian could only shrug his shoulders and say, "I can't help it!
I'm just willing to admit defeat. "
"Die!" Alexander the Great swung his sword angrily and clashed with Yang Jian.
To be honest, Alexander the Great's swordsmanship couldn't be compared to Erlang Immortal Yang Jian's three-pointed, double-edged sword. However, Yang Jian didn't really want to kill Alexander the Great. After all, he still had to return to the Heavenly Court, and there was no need to become enemies with a powerful force like the Martyr's Palace.
However, Yang Jian still perfectly completed the task of restraining Alexander the Great, and Alexander the Great couldn't continue to attack the ordinary soldiers around him.
These ordinary soldiers could also wholeheartedly stop the Macedonian army's attack.
The Macedonian infantry fought very bravely. They weren't afraid of the bullets that filled the sky, and they used their bodies to face them head-on.
However, history and facts had proven that cold weapons would only end in failure in the face of firearms. Although many brave Macedonian infantrymen broke into the human's position, they were quickly focused on by the bullets. In less than a second, they were riddled with holes.
At this moment, the humans were in a frenzy. They didn't even care that their bullets might accidentally kill their comrades. They fired wildly at the infantries that rushed in. Under such a terrifying momentum, the Macedonian infantries had difficulty advancing. They couldn't cooperate with Alexander the Great to tear a hole in the human's line of defense as Alexander the Great had hoped.
"Twenty minutes left!" Yang Jian blocked Alexander the Great's sword with his sword. "Nineteen minutes left."
"You …" Alexander the Great was anxious. He knew very well what Yang Jian meant. It meant that in nineteen minutes, the human's super dimensional defense system would be reactivated, and in nineteen minutes, his Macedonian army would be trapped by the sword-bearers who had recovered all their sword essences.
Now, Alexander the Great had to make a decision. Should he use these last nineteen minutes to rush into the core area and destroy the core controller of the super dimensional defense system, or should he use these last nineteen minutes to retreat frantically and escape the coverage of the super dimensional defense system so that his army wouldn't die in Yuzhang City?
"You win … I'll retreat …" Alexander the Great said to Yang Jian reluctantly.
"You didn't lose to me. You lost to the humans!" Yang Jian smiled bitterly.
"I used to be a human too!"
Alexander the Great nodded with a smile. Then, he turned around and killed a few humans around him, then fled toward the outside of the core area.
"Don't stop him. Let him go!"
The human commander also gave a timely order. The humans around Alexander the Great quickly dodged this killer, and the Great Shan the Great easily retreated to his troops.
"What?
The Feathered Serpent God and her troops retreated ten minutes ago? "
After returning to his troops, Alexander the Great was furious when he learned that the Feathered Serpent God's troops had retreated ten minutes ago, but the Yuan Kou of the Fusang Celestial System was still fighting.
"Forget it!
If we retreat, the Fusang Celestial System will retreat as well! "
Alexander the Great finally gave the order to retreat. Then, a sad horn sound came from the Macedonian army. Then, the soldiers who were fighting with no regard for their own lives instantly changed into a retreat formation and retreated to the outer city wall in an orderly manner.
