556 ALEXANDER'S PLAN.<strong>the</strong> rapidity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> enemy ; <strong>and</strong> he was as always consciousthat he himself could think <strong>and</strong> act more quickly. He <strong>the</strong>reforesent Ccenus with his own — <strong>the</strong> agema — <strong>and</strong> Demetrius'cavalry by a circuit, <strong>and</strong> hidden by <strong>the</strong> rolling ground, against<strong>the</strong> enemy's right, with instructions, should <strong>the</strong> horse on Porus'right attempt to ride to <strong>the</strong> assistance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> horse on his left,AovANceX "2'•'r'?r
WHAT PORUS SHOULD HAVE DONE. 557o<strong>the</strong>r side, <strong>and</strong> p<strong>art</strong>ly <strong>from</strong> his usual habit <strong>of</strong> himself leadinghis own right wing, where he felt <strong>the</strong> most at home. Hemade this movement in such a way as to lead Porus to supposethat he was merely uncovering his infantry, so that thismight <strong>the</strong>n advance to a front attack, <strong>the</strong> very thing Porusdesired.Porus' attention was first called to <strong>the</strong> movement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>king ; he failed to perceive Coenus' flanking march ; <strong>and</strong> as<strong>Alex<strong>and</strong>er</strong> had shrewdly guessed, sent his two thous<strong>and</strong> cavalry<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> right wing by <strong>the</strong> rear <strong>of</strong> his line to join <strong>the</strong> cavalryon <strong>the</strong> left, where he saw that he must oppose <strong>Alex<strong>and</strong>er</strong>'sattack.Seleucus with <strong>the</strong> pages <strong>and</strong> hypaspists was on <strong>the</strong> right<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> infantry, Antigenes with <strong>the</strong> phalangites was in <strong>the</strong>centre, <strong>and</strong> Tauron with <strong>the</strong> light troops was on <strong>the</strong> left.This whole body was ordered by <strong>Alex<strong>and</strong>er</strong> to follow his ownmovement at a proper interval, <strong>and</strong> advance on <strong>the</strong> enemy,but not to engage until it saw that <strong>the</strong> enemy's wings hadbeen tlirown into confusion by <strong>the</strong>proposed cavalry charges.This <strong>Alex<strong>and</strong>er</strong> thought would neutralize <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Indian elephants <strong>and</strong> chariots, <strong>and</strong> so far demoralize <strong>the</strong> infantryline as to lay it open to a fatal assault. It wouldappear that <strong>the</strong> phalanx had been formed in open order, so asto cover more ground, as well as better resist <strong>the</strong> elephants.With his overwhelming force, <strong>and</strong> outflanking <strong>the</strong> Macedoniansas he did with his greater length <strong>of</strong> line, Porusshould by all means <strong>and</strong> at once have advanced to <strong>the</strong> attackwith his elephants, which were protected by infantry much asour modern batteries are.Had he done this without giving<strong>Alex<strong>and</strong>er</strong> time to manoeuvre, pushing for<strong>war</strong>d <strong>the</strong>so as toelephantsrender <strong>Alex<strong>and</strong>er</strong>'s cavalry ineffective, <strong>and</strong> ordering<strong>the</strong> chariots to charge <strong>from</strong> each wing <strong>and</strong> by an in<strong>war</strong>d halfwheel take <strong>the</strong> phalanx in flank, it would seem as if such
