Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After a long time, Lieutenant Felix came over and reported: "The whole army is ready."

Daveus announced blankly: "Let's go."

Before, he didn't feel obvious in the squad. Now, as the leader, overlooking the overall situation, he discovered the problem.Although he was not a soldier in the past life, he knew how many movies and forums he went to see that one of the foundations of the army’s victory was strict discipline and rapid maneuverability. In university military training, emergency gatherings were counted by the minute.Now it's good. It took more than an hour from the trumpet to the end of the lineup. This kind of procrastination extinguished the excitement of being a leader.

Now, he has no prestige in the military. He can only observe quietly, write down all the shortcomings, think about solutions, and wait until the time is ripe to talk about the rectification of the army and the reform of the military system. path of.

After nearly half of the team had been out of the camp, Felix said: "Leader Davos, we should start."

Daveus nodded, and Silos had already led his horse.Yesterday, when Davies learned that the leader was riding a horse, he was quite nervous. In his previous life, he could not ride a horse.Who knows, after riding, actually control the freedom.It turned out that one of the most powerful horse-riding races in the Mediterranean world at that time was the Cesarians. The original owner of the body had been grazing sheep since childhood. The remaining memory and instinctive body memory are enough for Davis to control it freely. horses.

He grabbed the horse rein, jumped onto the horse, his legs slightly pinched, the horse warped his head, his four hoofs, and trot forward.

Dave Siang raised his chest and sat on it.Yesterday, Tolmeide's remarks made him no longer think about sharing hardships with the soldiers, giving the horses to the frail and disabled soldiers.Now he needs to be high on the horse, always reminding the soldiers: He, Davers is the leader of the whole army!As for the methods of buying up people's hearts, let's talk about it when he becomes a famous general.

Riding on the horse, watching the mighty team, Daves naturally produced a pride in his heart: that's what the big husband should be!

Daphes took control of the horse slowly, Philius, and Acistes followed, followed by the walking guard of Hilos.After going out of the barracks, I made a further journey to the place where the whole army met.

Daveus thought that his team was slow, but he didn't expect another team to arrive. It seems that procrastination is a common problem of mercenaries, and everyone is accustomed to it.

The Spartan team at Kleethorpes was already standing ahead. When Davers rode in the past to say hello, there was a lot of commotion in the passing team. The other camp soldiers recognized him as the leader of the wonderful speech yesterday. But there are still some people who are envious and dissatisfied with a young, stinky young man, who is jealous and dissatisfied, and said that the bad words that questioned his commanding ability made the following Axiestus blush and look angry.Daphus was unheard of, and he only looked forward.

Only the team at Kleethorpes seemed to be quiet as if he hadn’t seen his arrival, so that Davos seriously looked at these real Spartan warriors: I saw that they were wearing a full set of arms, arranged in order The phalanx, a sturdy individual, standing silently, like standing tall pines, became a unique scenery at this noisy meeting place.And in their sharp and murderous eyes, Daveus felt that once this silence broke out, what powerful power would be released!Body, skill, tactics, discipline are all in one, this is the Spartan warrior!

Davies looked at him enviously: when can he command such an elite soldier!Later, he realized that only about one-third of the soldiers at Kirithorpes were true Spartan soldiers, and the rest were the Piriasi.

On the two sides of the Spartan army are teams of small mercenaries such as Socis and Pacion. After the whole army meeting, most of them joined the team of Krithorpes. Several other leaders also joined the team. Only No one at Davis's military camp was interested.In this regard, Davers also felt very helpless.

Dave’s army is very fast this time, because it basically follows the order when it is dispatched: the outermost column is the heavy infantry column, divided into four columns, the first column is arranged in turn; the inner side is the light infantry column, divided The two columns, so that the length of the vertical column of the light and heavy infantry is the same, about half a mile long.When the enemy strikes from the outside of the left wing, the marching soldiers can immediately turn right, with heavy infantry in front and light infantry in the back, quickly forming a conventional combat formation.The yoke battalion is located on the inside of the light infantry, to the left of this huge central open space.Daphes and his escort are between the light infantry and the heavy battalion.

About half an hour later, the battalions were lined up, the bronze trumpet sounded again, and they were finally ready to go.

The march is not fast. It is mainly dragged down by various battalions, and tents, food, medicine, articles, and other materials that cannot be carried by people have to be carried by horses and horses.Horses can't carry too heavy a carriage, otherwise the harness will squeeze their neck trachea, causing suffocation; the bull is stronger than the horse, but the endurance is not good, and the temperament is not reliable.

Daveus saw Mercis in the camp and shuttled back and forth to deal with unexpected situations and greeted the soldiers for help from time to time.Davers secretly thanked himself for following Mersey's advice, and sent him a squadron in advance to assist the camp.In the end, Davis's eyes fell on Christoya among the women. Although they were all dressed the same, her figure and temperament were like standing out from the crowd, which was easy to recognize.

Kristoa seemed to feel, and looked away.

Daveus quickly drew back his gaze.

"This marching speed can't go ten miles in an hour." He said.

"It's good to be free of Persian intrusion." Felixius was glad to finish his speech, and there was a commotion in the rear.

"What happened?" Daveus asked tightly.

Yasistus immediately sent her soldiers to the rear to check.

After a while, the herald soldiers rushed back: "It was Persian general Mitradat! He brought about thirty cavalrymen, and persuaded to descend not far from the right wing of the army!"

Heart attack!Daveus frowned.

"Mitradat was the general of Cyrus, but his system didn't work. We've been to the Persians once, and fools will only go to the second time." Felix was not in a hurry. Said.

Daveus nodded and said, "Monitor Mitradat, continue to inquire!" At the same time, let Yasisters send another herald, so that the message can be sent back alternately.

...

"There were more than twenty soldiers who abandoned their weapons and ran towards the Persians!... they... they surrendered to Mitradat!"

Davies was agitated in his heart, and apparently Phyllis overestimated the wisdom of mercenaries.What's more, Hironimos's forces disputed over the election of the leader yesterday, and now Mitradat has easily laid a slit to the unconventional Hironimos forces with a lie, will it Cause the whole army to snowball like effects?Davers began to worry.

"Mitradat went around directly behind the whole army and shouted to Kriano's troops! ... About ten more soldiers dropped their weapons and ran towards the Persians!"

Damn it!Davers's concerns are being fulfilled.

Felix also looked nervous.

It seems that Mitradat is going to circle around the huge formation of mercenaries and constantly disintegrate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.Moreover, he will soon be in front of the Davis forces!

"It would be nice if he could get rid of him." Yasisters said bitterly.But he also knew that it was impossible. The opponent was light cavalry, coming and going like wind, and the mercenary had no cavalry at all.

"Just shoot him with a javelin!" Matonis withdrew the javelin from his back and shouted in the guard.

"How to shoot?! When you take the javelin out, the Persians ran far away! Besides, the javelin hasn't shot far from the Persian horse bow!" Yasistus retorted.

A flash of light flashed through Daveus's mind, and he asked the herald soldiers anxiously: "How far is Mitradat from our array?"

"About a hundred meters away."

"Did the Persians retreat as the surrendered soldiers ran over?"

"No."

...

Daveus asked a few questions in a row, and after receiving the answer, he faced Felixius's puzzled eyes and pondered for a while, then said to Philip Hughes: "Now, I have an idea. Do you think it works? "
