Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Burcos, long time no see, I thought you had forgotten your old friend!" Daveus greeted him with a smile.

"How could it be forgotten! It's just that after returning, there are a lot of backlogs that need to be dealt with urgently, and no time can be spared." Burcos explained.

"Oh, is that finally busy now?" Daveus said jokingly.

"Not busy," Burcos said rightly. "However, Turri City Hall has important orders for me to convey to you."

"Oh, what's the important order? The adults of Turui finally remembered our mercenaries." Daveus said teasingly.

"Shall I say it here?" Burcos glanced around.

"I'm sorry, it was my negligence that went to my account." While expressing apology, Davers led them to the center of the camp.

"Is this'tug of war' game learned from Persia?" Burcos asked.

"I think, mainly worried that the soldiers have been in the barracks for a long time, there is nothing to do, there may be some unexpected situations, so let them play sports, which can consume their energy and exercise, Cultivate teamwork skills. In fact, the final champion of this competition is rewarded, and I have paid a lot of money myself."

"You manage these mercenaries very well!" Burcos praised, and then the topic changed: "But you don't have to worry anymore, you will have something to do soon."

Daveus was not surprised: "The Lucanias are all in sight. Turri no longer takes any action. I thought you were ready to give them the land outside the city."

Hearing the resentment in Daveus' words, Burcos was thinking about how to respond, but the afterglow of his eyes saw a four-meter-high stone wall inside the wooden wall on the right, and said in surprise: "You are still going to Do you build stone walls?"

Daveus blinked: "The floor of the wooden wall is relatively wet, so it is not strong enough, so another waste stone was built inside to prevent it from being broken."

"You and your soldiers are so powerful that they actually built the camp into a city!" Burkos vaguely criticized.

"We can't help. The number is too small. If we don't build the camp solidly, Turi is surrounded, and our mercenaries rescue us. We are surrounded. Who will rescue? So everything depends on yourself!" Dave Stanran said.

"The market outside is also related to the defense of the camp?" Burcos asked rhetorically.

"In the beginning, I just wanted to rely on the market to buy and sell something to meet my daily needs, but I didn't expect it to become like this... but you can rest assured that when the Lucarias are repulsed, everything will return to normal." Daveus made to him Out guarantee.

Burkos just wanted to gain some psychological advantage in the following conversation. After all, only the city hall and the council can make a decision about whether to force the mercenaries to close the market, so he did not continue to pursue it, but decided to report back. Give Ferris.Entering Davis’ account, he said directly: "According to the situation detected, the Lucania may attack Turui in two days. After consultation, the generals decided to meet the enemy and ask you to arrive at the time. Join the battle."

"Please tell me, what is the plan of General Turiri?" Davers said sarcastically.In fact, he was helpless in his heart. As a participant in a war, he didn't even have the power to participate in discussions before the war. This is really strange.He did not know that the Greek mercenaries were the same when they were under the command of Cyrus. However, at that time, the mercenaries accounted for half of the strength. The strength of the mercenaries was very strong, and he relied heavily on him. Soldiers and conceal the facts of the rebellion, so when there is excessive demand, he will discuss with Clearkus and others... When Daveus crosses, the small Cyrus has been killed, everything is the mercenary himself, so what is the matter It was all discussed by everyone.Now, Davers is back to experiencing the bad feeling that when he first arrived in this world, everything was decided by others and his fate could not be decided.

Burcos was also helpless.In fact, Ferris had once proposed that mercenary leaders participate in the discussion and plan this battle together, and Kunogolata refused firmly, saying that it was to prevent an incident like Dionysius (Dior Nisius was the tyrant of Syracuse at this time. He was once ousted by the Democrats and led by the people. Later, he quietly suppressed the Democrats by quietly introducing mercenaries into the city, thereby stabilizing the Syracuse dictator Throne).The hire of mercenaries was a proposal made by Ferris, which was discussed by the generals and approved by the board of directors, and was recommended to be recruited by Burcos recommended by Ferris, so he had to avoid suspicion.

"According to the investigation of the reconnaissance ride, the Lucanian coalition has more than 10,000 people. On our side, you have more than 2,000 soldiers, Dracos, they have more than 2,000 people, and Tarantum has 1,000 reinforcements. Five hundred people, Turui can send four thousand people, we have two hundred cavalry, the total number is also close to ten thousand people..."

After introducing the strength of the two sides, Burcos picked up a branch and made a gesture on the ground: "The generals’ plan was that Tarantum’s reinforcements were on the right when they were arrayed. In view of their minimum strength, Adrians and Thousands of Sesta are added to it; the middle road is our Turri’s troops. Due to the last defeat, Turri’s young and middle-aged citizens have been greatly reduced, so more than half of these four thousand are of age. Citizens over the age of forty, so a thousand people from Drakos are added to the middle road; and... because your troops have rich combat experience and the strongest strength, your left is responsible for your troops, and there are one hundred cavalry. Another Hundreds of Tarantum cavalry belonged to the right wing. Of course, this is just a plan. When it comes to the battlefield, there may be changes according to the enemy's situation..." Burkos finished, focusing on the expression on Davers' face.

Daveus rested his jaws on one hand, watching the patterns on the ground in contemplation, and said nothing for a long time.

Burcos began to get nervous.

"Want to hear my opinion?" Daveus raised his head and pointed to the sketch on the ground, and said calmly: "The force configuration given by Turui should be more balanced. Obviously the generals mean to think Through protracted confrontation, we use our defense to bring down the enemy's attack."

Burcos nodded: Ferris said something similar when he explained to him why he was doing this.Daveus really deserved his reputation. By looking at the sketches, he could speculate the generals' intentions.

"Although I haven't played against the Lucanias, I have fought many mountain races in Persia. Their combat characteristics should be similar, fierce, loosely organized, and poorly equipped. Perhaps this is what your generals dare There is less to more, the confidence in adopting this array. However, there are a few questions to remind your generals to pay attention to—" Daveus turned around and raised the volume, saying:

"Last year, Turiri killed more than 10,000 people in the battle with the Lucania, which also means that nearly 10,000 sets of excellent Greek heavy armor equipment fell into the hands of the Lucania. They completely You can use it to update your rudimentary equipment. I encountered this situation when I was investigating in Amendora. Secondly, according to my reconnaissance investigation, the number of Lukania coalition forces is at least 13,000. We have more than 3,000 more people, which means that their formation will be thicker than ours, and the array will be longer than us. Not only will the impact and push force be greater than ours, but also the threat of flanking, and they have just become bigger After winning a game, the morale must be very high in the face of us. And according to my observation, your Turui people are terrified at the heart of the Lucania people, so who will retreat in the end after a long battle, really not It's easy to say." Daphs nodded the pattern on the ground representing the middle of Turiyi Road with a branch: "Don't forget, there are still half of the'old man' in it."

The confidence that Burkos had been instilled in the "Greek heavy infantry fighting frontally without fear of barbarians" was shaken by Daveus.

"Want to hear my plan?" At this point, Davers said.
