Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

On this day, the Persians were not idle.

After Altauzus succeeded in the harassment, he returned to the barracks and proudly showed Ariros his record, and proposed: let Arirouth give all the cavalry and archers to his commander, he will give Greece People defeated in one fell swoop.

Arirouz first congratulated him, and then began to find reasons to pervert Altauzus.After all, this time the army of Cyrus was defeated in the battle with the King of Persia. After he gathered it, there were only more than 7,000 people remaining. If you follow what Altauzus said, Aliros will be There are only more than 3,000 people left.As the nominal commander-in-chief of this army, the force under his jurisdiction was not much as his subordinates, which made him command the whole army.What's more, a Persian army cannot be considered a Persian army without an archer.Therefore, the cautious and stingy Alirous did not approve of this gambling style of warfare.

Altauzus was furious when he saw that Alirous disagreed.He believes that this is Ali Rouse jealous of him, do not want to see him succeed.

So he ran straight to Tiszafnice's camp in one breath.

"As long as you have enough archers and archers, you can defeat the Greeks?!" Tisafnis asked with some doubt.

"Admiral, because of Little Cyrus, I have had many contacts with the Greek mercenaries to understand the situation of their army. Most of their soldiers are heavy infantry, and their actions are clumsy. As long as they do not fight them close, they will They can’t exert a little power, and their archers are few, and they are not our opponents at all. Therefore, I only took 400 cavalry and archers to attack them, without losing a soldier, it caused about 500 Greeks. Human casualties (this is obviously an exaggerated victory), if the bow and arrows are not exhausted, the Greek casualties will be greater!" Altauzus said with respect and respect: "Therefore, I want to increase the number of archers and archers, Increase the long-range strike against the Greeks, increase their casualties, hoping to defeat them as soon as possible, and resolve these Greek barbarians for adults and kings as soon as possible!"

Then he remarked: "But Aliros rejected my proposal, I can only come to the Governor!"

Tisavonis did not answer directly, but said with a sad expression: "I was sad and surprised when Mitradat died."

"At the same time, his death may also give the Greek who lost the leader confidence!" Tisavonis' expression turned solemn: "I heard that Spartan's inspector Risopus became the army's The new leader, isn't it?"

"Yes, Lord Governor. That's what the Greek soldiers fled to say." Altauzus said.

"Never let him take over the Greek army smoothly and gain prestige!" Tisavonis said coldly and firmly: "We must continue to fight them, let them flee non-stop, cry for death, starve for hunger And howl! Artauzus, since your method works, then continue to use this method of fighting against the Greeks! I will give you two thousand archers and five hundred bow cavalry, and there are Alirus--"

Tisafnis turned his head and said to Sister, who was standing next to him, "You have to trouble you first. Since Arirouth dare not play against the Greeks, then give the soldiers to the capable people to lead! , I don’t mind discussing with him, what did he do during the rebellion of Little Cyrus!"

Sister smiled indifferently: "Master Governor, don't be so angry. I believe that Arioth is a clear man."

"He'd better be like this!" A flash of cold light flashed in Tisavoni's eyes.

"Thank you Lord Governor for your trust, I will bring you news of victory!" Altauzus thanked excitedly.

"When you win, you will be my lieutenant." Tisavonis promised.

Watching Altauzus happily follow Siste out of the tabernacle, Orjontas said with some worry: "Can this Altauzus really succeed?"

"Since he has won a perfect victory, why can't there be a second time? If I can solve the Greeks in one go, I'm willing to gamble!" Tiszafnis said firmly.

"Unexpectedly, the Spartan Ombudsman was actually in this mercenary! It seems that the Cyrus rebellion must have been supported by the Spartans!" Orientas said with hate as Altasher The son-in-law of King Sith, of course, is wary of any party who may be Cyrus the Little.

"The Greeks hated us for decades. I opposed funding Sparta and against Athens. Unfortunately, Her Majesty Darius was blinded by the little Cyrus, removed my post, reused the little Cyrus, and supported "Sparta!" Tisavonis said with a grudge: "What's the result! Sparta supports the Cyrus rebellion, so as to benefit from it! You should let Sparta and Athens continue the war instead of helping Spartan's victory is in the interest of our Persians!"

"You are right, Tisavonis! When the matter here is over, I must suggest to the king to reconsider the relationship with Sparta."

"Yes, that's why I quickly resolved these Greeks. Altauzus will bring us good news, he will!"

On the evening of this day, the leaders gathered again in the military account.

"The slinging company has a slinging line, and after a day of training, using his skill, he is ready to kill the enemy!" Kriano reported to everyone, because his force was a defender, he lost the most in yesterday's battle. .Therefore, under his strong request, the newly built company was temporarily under his command.

Then, Davers also reported: "It is no problem for the cavalry to kill the enemy." Because most cavalry came from his barracks, he was on the wing, so the cavalry was temporarily under his jurisdiction.

Davers spoke briefly.After seeing a day of cavalry training, he also had a general understanding of the cavalry's attack methods in this era: horse collision, gun poke, tender gun, bow and arrow shooting.Because there is no stirrup, I dare not run with all my strength, nor dare to use all my strength to fight, otherwise it is easy to fall off the horse.

The newly-built cavalry is equipped with only one kind of weapon—the spear, so their best way of attacking—is to chase down the enemies that flee.

At this time, Kleethorpes said, "You guys, today I took a guide and went out to explore the road to be marched tomorrow and the surrounding terrain--"

"It's really dangerous! Now the Persian Scouts are wandering around our camp, and it's troublesome if they run into them!" Tima Song shouted.

"I'm prepared for this, and at the same time have the protection of Zeus. I didn't run into the Persians." Kirithops nodded to Timmasong and thanked him for his concern: "Instead, he made an important discovery."

"What important discovery?" Kriano asked urgently.

"I found that there are a few high mountains about four miles ahead, and only one canyon can pass through, otherwise I can only go a long way." Kirithorpes said while using wooden sticks to mark on the grass: "This The canyon can accommodate about twenty people passing side by side."

"You mean... fear that the Persians will attack us as we pass through the canyon!" Zantiparis asked worriedly.

"This is indeed a problem. However, it can be solved completely. We set off through the gorge before dawn, and the Persians must not have thought of it." Xenophon said with a move.

"This is a good way! The Persians are afraid of the night, especially their cavalry can't easily see the road under their feet in the dark. It is easy to fall off when the little Cyrus was in the past, marching with the Persians, they always It was not until dawn that the camp was completely clear, and Mitradat had caught up with us long before yesterday. If tomorrow is the same, we would have passed the canyon." Kriano agreed, and others followed. They all agreed, and then set their sights on Kerry Thorps with the final decision.

Kleethorpes glanced at everyone and said with a deep voice: "Everyone, I have a plan. Since the Persians are keeping up with us, we can use this canyon to hit them hard!"
