Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 90 Battle of the Great River Beach (1)

The Greeks also stopped chasing and began to gather the team, slowly moving forward.

Except for the Pecosis and Vig fighters, there are other wounded fighters in the three cities. The battalion has more than 9,000 troops, from south to north, and the array length is about several miles. It belongs to Grummentum. , The tribes under Niutum and Laos, so the array speed is slow.

In front of the behemoth of the Lukalia tribal coalition, the Greek mercenaries with only two thousand people appeared to be too weak, but they suddenly accelerated to the left as they slowed down to a distance of 100 meters from the enemy formation.

When the leaders of Lucania didn't respond, the Greeks had quickly approached the right end of the coalition's right wing. The Lucanian soldiers in the messy array watched with horror as the Greeks threw javelins at them, and then They launched a fierce shock...

In the blink of an eye, the right end of the right wing of the Lukania Allied Forces caused a crash...

"The despicable Greeks disobeyed the faith and launched an attack without waiting for our formation to be completed!" Sevilla scolded angrily.

Akpiru found that he had made a mistake, and sent a large army to fight against the short and lean Greek army, just like the fierce cow facing the flexible mouse, it was bloated and not functioning.

"Blow the trumpet and let the soldiers attack immediately!" While the Greeks continued to attack left along the right end of the right wing, Akpiru quickly ordered: "Surround them! Don't let them run!"

At the same time, other leaders issued similar orders.

The Lukalia warriors who got rid of the restraint were like the hounds who spurred Huan'er, and quickly rushed to the Greek army. They wanted to smash the group of Greeks who repeatedly tricked them, humiliated them, and made them hate.

The Greek army immediately turned and ran east. They ran, throwing their shields, lances, and swords to ensure that they were not overtaken by the Lukalia who ran like crazy.

The Greeks ran desperately in front, and the Lucanian coalition pursued it, gradually forming a long, dense long dragon...

The Greeks turned over the mountain beams and walked down the mountain road all the way to the east. They ran for about ten miles. The soldiers went up and out of breath. Looking back, the Lukalia followed closely behind.

At this time, the Greeks left the mountain road and approached the Tino River... Then, they ran down the gentle slope and came to the large river beach on the other side of the famous hot spring swamp: Although the soil is moist and soft, it brings a piece of soil with one foot. The terrain is flat, and it is more labor-saving, easier, and faster to run than the uneven, rocky mountain road.Of course, the Lucalia followed the river beach, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with the Greeks...

"Brothers, persevere for a while, immediately...I'll be here soon!" Felix, who was running in front, gasped to the surrounding soldiers with a hoarse voice, in fact, he was also cheering himself up as a young man. Forty veterans, this long-distance running almost exhausted all his energy.

After the Greeks ran the river beach and over the gentle hillside, the Lucania followed, but when they were about to step on the top of the slope, they suddenly found that the rows of heavily armed Greek heavy infantry were in line. Welcome up.

"There is an ambush--" The front soldier's words hadn't been shouted yet, and the Greek spear pierced his chest.

The exhausted Lucanian fighters who had run away completely lost their due evasion ability, and under the numerous spears of the Greek heavy infantry, they kept rolling down like dumplings, and the soldiers behind I don't know what happened before, but I am still running forward...

At this time, behind the Tarantum reinforcements responsible for the frontal interception, the soldiers of the Davis mercenary who had just lured the enemy were eating mouth-watering bread, drinking hot water, and battling the camp. Women and slaves brought new round shields, bayonets and swords to quickly equip each soldier.The mercenaries know that their time is tight, and they must replenish their drinking water as quickly as possible, and then rush to the front as quickly as possible to complete the finishing work of the encircling circle.

And Mercis also knew that his time was tight. After completing the supplement to the mercenaries, he would bring armed guards from the battalion, slaves, slaves in the city of Turui, and dozens of slaves. The squad leader and the mercenary soldiers responsible for commanding them, totaling about 1,000 people, including dozens of pack cars, rushed to a narrow place in front of the mountain road to establish a defensive line to block the reinforcement of the Lucanian coalition.

Drax, Adrianx, and Sesta, who led about 1,500 mercenaries, were ambushed on the side of the two-mile long river beach, and the front was relatively weak.Fortunately, there were about 700 offensive lines of light shields and light infantry behind them, as well as 700 armed mine slaves.And between the two teams is Davis and his guard.

"Leader!" Yasisters arrived on horseback and said excitedly: "Our team has already started to march fast to the west mountain road!"

Daveus nodded and tried his best to suppress the excitement and tension in his heart: the initial enticement operation can be said to be very effective. Look at the dense enemies below. The minimum estimate is also 8-9 thousand, and the Lukania tribal coalition has more than half of the troops. It’s all concentrated here, excluding yesterday’s casualties. The enemy’s camp is estimated to be no more than 5,000 people. It wiped out the enemies in front of them. The Lukarias are no longer able to make waves in the plains of Subari. They should take advantage of the enemies on the river beach. In case of chaos in the organization, launch an attack and take it as soon as possible.

"Light infantry attack!" Daveus ordered decisively.

After getting orders from Epidnis and Cipit, he led the light shield soldiers through the mercenaries in front, and Alpens ordered the slingers and archers to start loading ammunition...

The front is blocked, and the Lucanian fighters behind are still rushing because of inertia.Soon, countless Lukalia warriors pushed together densely. Hedgehogs gathered under the big river beach about half a mile wide and about two mile long. Many people already felt that the situation was wrong and were anxiously loudly shouting at each other. Shouting...

At this time, numerous Greek soldiers appeared on the side slopes.

"There are enemies!"

"We were ambushed!"

...

With the panic shouting of the soldiers, javelins, arrows, flying stones poured down...

The soldiers were so crowded, and in order to facilitate the pursuit, most people threw away their shields and helmets, and some even pulled out their breastplates. In the absence of protection, the mercenary light infantry did not need to aim. Every javelin, every stone, every arrow can easily hit the target.

"Quickly retreat!!" The companions beside them screamed and fell down one after another. The frightened soldiers wanted to escape. However, some 9,000 people in the crowded and narrow space were avoiding arrows and flying stones. Wanting to retreat, some want to kill the Greeks ahead and kill them out...Everyone has their own ideas and bumps into the headless flies everywhere, but the whole team is confused and unorganized. It is quite difficult to complete a smooth retreat. On the contrary, it is more likely to cause trample.In the face of death, the feared soldiers unconsciously pushed down the clan in front, and instantly died silently at the feet of countless people...

The leaders and warriors of all tribes were very anxious to see this.However, in the turbulent and noisy crowds, any shouts and obstructions were in vain, but the trumpeters of the coalition forces fell far behind the team and could not rely on it.

"Kill it! Follow me!" Severa relied on his strong body, squeezing away the panicked clan, holding a spear, roaring nonstop, his eyes wide open, and rushed toward the gentle slope on the side of the beach...

His pioneering adventure attracted the attention of both parties, reminding the warriors who were avoiding the arrow rain and in a hurry, some soldiers began to follow him, braving the enemy's long-range strike, and ran up the gentle slope.

Cipet pulled out a javelin, wrapped a thin strip of cloth around the middle of the barrel, and put the apron on the other end around his finger, spreading his body like a bow with a string full of string, staring at the closer and closer to himself Sevilla, but still.When he saw Sevilla using a round shield to block a javelin thrown by the light shield soldiers, he suddenly threw the javelin at Sevilla with a scotch tape, Pulling the javelin at the same time makes the javelin rotate with strong kinetic energy, and in the blink of an eye, it accurately penetrated the linen breastplate worn by Sevilla.
