Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 91 Battle of the Great River Beach (2)

Sevilla stumbled back a few steps, trying to throw back the spear in his hand, but his already tired body was hit hard again. With his energy exhausted, he fell down and slid down the slope...

Sevilla’s death did not frighten the succeeding fighters. The belief of survival allowed them to temporarily have the courage and strength. The fighters continued to shoot down, and the fighters constantly rushed up, watching the Lucanian fighters. Has approached the top of the slope...

The sound of the copper trumpet sounded in a timely manner. The light shield soldiers quickly retreated from the gap between the mercenary heavy infantry arrays, and the heavy infantry stepped forward to form a long and thin dense square matrix. Standing on the top of the slope, a long steel wall was used. Destroy the enemy’s hope of escaping; the light infantry behind them continue to fire javelins, arrows, and flying stones regardless of the numb arms, let them cross the heavy infantry ahead in a perfect arc, and fall on the slope Continue to kill subsequent enemies to prevent them from forming a continuous impact; the slaves behind moved early a bundle of arrows and javelins to supplement the light infantry with long-range weapons.

Drakos stood at the forefront of the defense line, facing the enemies who were beginning to rush up the slope, not only did he not have any tension and fear, but he was full of fighting spirit: "Brothers, drive me down!"

"Roar!!!" The soldiers were infected by him, raised their shield spears, and roared in unison.

……………………………

As the chief of Grumentum, the leader of the Allied forces of the Lucanian tribe, Akpiru, who is over fifty years old, certainly cannot be impulsively pursued like a young warrior.He doesn’t chase. There are 400 guards responsible for his safety composed of 400 Grumentum warriors. Of course, it is impossible to leave him to chase alone. The same situation with him is Niutum and Laos. There are about 700 soldiers in the team.

After meeting, they advanced at a faster speed. When they hurried to the hot spring swamp, they heard the sound of screaming, screaming, screaming...

The chiefs' faces changed.

"Hurry up and catch up!" Akpiru issued an order urgently.

The fast-moving team met head-on the Davies mercenaries who were also rushing to prepare to complete the sealing of the enclosure.

Felixius saw the enemy on the mountain road, and he made a "chuck" in his heart. Fortunately, he quickly made his own deployment: the first, second, and third companies had Capps in charge, blocking the quilt. Encircled enemies; the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh companies attacked the enemies in front of him.

At the same time, Philius also called herding soldiers: "Go and notify Mercis and let him lead the slaves quickly!"

Akpiru saw that the Greeks dared to make a division of troops in the face of their approach, and he became more and more disturbed: If there were no more important things, would these timid Greeks dare to do so?!

He immediately issued an order: "Give me the full attack!"

The two heavily-armed teams were equally elite, and they collided directly without arrays or deployments...

…………………………

Capps led his army to the west of the Great River Beach and ran into the shocked Lukalia fighter who had just climbed out of the slope.

They were immediately beaten and left dozens of bodies to roll down the slope. The mercenaries immediately plugged the gap.

Now, the east of the Great River Beach is the Tarantum reinforcements; the north is Draco’s mercenaries, all light infantry, and slaves; the west is the heavy infantry of the Davos mercenary; the south is spring Rainwater flooded hot spring marshes and Tino River.

More than nine thousand Lucanian tribal coalition forces are surrounded by a narrow and low-lying area about two miles long and about half a mile wide, while the total strength of the surrounding side is only more than seven thousand (plus slave soldiers), and the blocking line is weak. , Especially in the west, there are only 600 Davies mercenaries, almost single infantry, and the Drakos mercenaries that extend to the north are connected to their arrays, just like dumplings with thin skin and stuffing, which are always squeezed. Fortunately, the Lucanians in the surrounding circle were temporarily chaotic and unorganized, colliding like headless flies and unable to form a joint force.

In Davers’ plan, the light infantry’s long-range fire strike was the main factor that weakened the enemy’s power, and his Persian expeditionary force not only played a role in completing the encirclement, but also his most trusted offensive force. Today, due to accidents The power of this expeditionary force was dispersed. After knowing this emergency situation through Scout Ride, Davis was anxious, but it was still one of several possibilities he had planned in advance. He had backup measures.

He immediately dispatched cavalry, urging Merces to lead his team to speed up and rush to the place where the Felix troops fought, meet with Felix, concentrate their forces, wipe out the unexpected enemy forces in one fell swoop, and then re-enter the team against Lu The siege of the Cagliari.

Time is now the key to the victory of the Greek army.

Akpiru also knows its importance.

Two elite troops fight bloody battles: one is a warrior selected from the All-Lucania Tribal Alliance, without fierce fighting, and still full of energy; the other is a Greek mercenary who has expeditioned to Persia, experienced and skilled Superb, but the non-stop running, so that their physical strength is extremely lacking.But the course of the battle surprised Akpiru.He originally thought that the Greeks did not form a phalanx. This kind of melee should be based on the advantage of the Lucanian fighters who are accustomed to this type of combat. However, the Lucanian fighters gradually began to retreat...

Akpiru, who stood high up in the rear, observed that the Greeks often gathered dozens of people (in fact, the unique units of the Davos mercenary), which was not only very organized, but also flexible, and cooperated with each other. Very tacit and more lethal, the Lucanias were cut into pieces by them, like a piece of sand...

This made him aware of the seriousness of the matter. He quickly dispatched a small group of fighters and ordered them to return to the camp quickly, informing the chief of Pecosis Cincinnage: immediately lead the left soldiers to help him defeat the current enemy, Crush the enemy's conspiracy further!

The soldiers who returned to the newspaper were attacked by the trailing Leiders cavalry (Daveus took the opportunity to borrow ten war horses from Burcos last night, so that the mercenary cavalry squad was rebuilt). Due to the rugged mountain road, the The cavalry's speed was not fully utilized, and several wounded soldiers escaped the chase of the cavalry and ran all the way to the Lucania camp.

"Quick... Quickly inform Chief Cincinnati! We are in an ambush and send out reinforcements!" They shouted anxiously as the soldiers were about to withdraw from the camp.

However, the look of the surrounding soldiers began to become a little weird.

"Oops, it's the Vigs!" The reported soldiers were shocked when they realized that these people were different.

But when he saw a man squat down, Shen Sheng asked: "What ambush?! What happened?!"

The warrior seems to remember that the person speaking was a leader of Vigo City called Saru...

……………………

Akpiru asked Picoxis and Vige to take charge of the evacuation of the camp, but Cincinnati handed over all the chores to the Vige, and he, his son, and several leaders were in the big account. "How to protect the interests of Picoxis after the Xubari Plain" was discussed.

The guard suddenly rushed in and shouted in panic: "Big leader, no good! The Vig suddenly attacked us!"

what!!Cincinnati was horrified and immediately yelled angrily: "Damn the Vig, do they not want to live!!"

He hurried out of the tent, and the sight in front of him was far beyond his expectations: the smoke was billowing everywhere in the camp, countless tents were burning in the fire, the Vigs were holding spears, divided into countless squads, and chasing unprotected Pico everywhere The Sith warrior, the Picosis fled in embarrassment...

Cincinnati’s ears were filled with the screams of the clan, making him almost mad: "Ah!... I have said long ago that these despicable Brutus should be killed, and Akpiru would not listen! ...Genneth! Go quickly and organize the soldiers to fight back! Fight back! Fight back them! Kill them all! And destroy the city of Veg!!!!!! Ah!!!!"

Needless to say, Glenat and several leaders rushed out anxiously.

But for Picoxis, the situation is very bad.The Vigs were prepared, and the Picoxians had too many casualties yesterday (more than 1,000 people, mostly wounded). Most of the soldiers stayed in the tents to take care of their comrades. The Vigs ignited everywhere. Many Picoxians were burned alive in tents...
