Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The Puchti warrior screamed, leaned forward, lost stability, screamed and rolled down the hillside.

Cipet quickly rolled to the left, avoiding the spear...

Such a situation was staged from time to time on the Puceti's defense, forcing the Puceti to retreat involuntarily, and the javelin that was naturally thrown at the Dionysian soldiers was greatly reduced.

"Seventh brigade, good!" Behind Leotizides, soldiers praised it.

"Speed ​​up! Climb up!..." Taking this opportunity, Parmanius, the team leader in the center of his small square, urged loudly.

The flag bearer waved his flag forward continuously.

Leotizides and his teammates watched the light shield soldiers stand alone, how could they fall behind, so they collaborated with each other, struggling to climb upwards, and they quickly stepped on their feet at a height of 30 meters, and the light shield soldiers had retreated To the sides of the small phalanx, only enemies remained in front of them.

"Hadis!!!" The soldiers shouted the name of the Alliance's patron saint, raised their round shields and greeted them......

……………………

The army of Trifias and Tudeples rushed to the right-wing preset position.Usually, they need to spend a long time to rectify the queue before they can launch an attack, but when the Dionysian army has been engaged, they are also stimulated by this stimulus and speed up.

Since there were no enemies ahead, Trifias and Tudeples mixed the light infantry into the square formation to increase the thickness of the whole formation, and hurriedly began to climb the mountain in a more scattered formation.

The deserted gentle slope of more than 20 meters high can easily go up. They will attack the enemy's flanks to determine the victory of this battle.

But when they set foot on the slope with confidence and ease, a large number of enemies suddenly appeared on the top of the hill.

Mesapi cavalry!Trifias was shocked and calmed down again: Although the Mesapi cavalry was powerful, but it was not flat, there was not enough area for them to ride, and they dare to confront the heavy infantry directly?!

Heraclea-Meta Pontum Allied forces continued to move up.

The cavalry on the top of the slope began to throw a short javelin.

Just as the Greeks raised their shields for defense, many people began to exclaim: "Cavalry! Mesapi cavalry is behind us!!"

The soldiers only heard a cry from behind, and the Mesapi cavalry of the brigade circled the mountain from a distance, and began to throw javelins at the back of the formation of Greek soldiers who were climbing the hill.

Suddenly hit by this sudden, the Herakliya-Metapontum coalition was a bit chaotic.

In fact, there are not only Mesapi cavalry but also Puchti cavalry, with 1,300 horses.At this moment, the cavalrymen on the top of the mountain began to caress the head of the mount, attached their bodies to whisper something to Aiqi, they were very reluctant in their eyes, and soon their expressions became firm.

"Lukaon!!!" Puchetti cavalry chanted with his hands raised.

"Lukaon!!!" Mesapi cavalrymen also responded one after another.King Lukaon dared to tease the Greek god Zeus. Although he was transformed into a wolf, most of his descendants thought that he was a hero. He must shout his name before the war to cheer up morale.Due to the influence of Hellenism, the Mesapi people have gradually abandoned this tradition, and now they have picked it up again.

The hilltop cavalry clasped the horse's neck with both hands, and slammed the horse's belly with their legs. Hundreds of war horses began to run down the hillside in a loose formation. The speed became faster and faster. But it does not affect the speed and fighting spirit of the cavalry.

"Lift... lift the shield to defend..." Trifias saw this situation, and for a time, his mind was blank.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Herakliya-Metapontum coalition, this is like facing rows of boulders rolling down from the mountain, who dares to block the powerful kinetic energy from the roar!Just when they were frightened and wanted to dodge, the cavalrymen had already hit the square matrix head-on, suddenly, the horses screamed, and the horse folds, and the Greek soldiers rolled down on the ground, and there were almost no standing people... …

The Greek Phalanx collapsed instantly.

…………………………

Daveus quickly received the return of Tolmed: a large number of enemy rides suddenly appeared on the right wing.

He immediately felt a little uneasy and made a decisive decision: "Izam, lead your brigade to immediately reinforce the troops of Trifias and Tudeples. After repelling the enemy's cavalry, they continue to attack the enemy's flanks!"

"Yes!" Yi Zam finally waited for the task, the excited left fist thumped his right chest, and after the military salute to Daveus, ran down the hill and came to the pass, the opponent shouted: "Brothers, follow me Go kill the enemy!"

In the cheers, the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade held the small one's leather shield in their left hand and the short swords only equipped to their right, and hurried to the right wing.

Yomakas did not understand why these Dionysians were so keen on fighting, but was still shocked by their high fighting spirit and secretly determined: Tarantum was not forced to try to avoid the fierce Daioni There was a conflict.

"Master Daphes, the Mesapi cavalry is even more powerful, and it is no match for the Greek heavy infantry, not to mention the mountainous area here, you don't need to send troops to reinforce." Yomakas couldn't help persuading.

"What we all know, how can the Mesapi people who are good at cavalry not know, but they still sent cavalry, there is a problem." Daveus said calmly.

Eumacas listened to what he said reasonably, and was more worried.

Previously, the herald, Tormead, had gathered the information that the herald soldiers waiting behind the two regiments and the various brigades kept sending back, and reported to Daveus: "The brigade led by Amintas will be the bottom of the central valley. The heavy infantry of Mesapi forced to retreat step by step... The first and second legions of the left and right wings also had a slight advantage in fighting with the Pucciti who occupy the terrain. And, after the two light infantry brigades withdrew from the frontal battle, According to your instructions, you have started to join forces, and then detour to the left (because the army of Heraclea and Metapontoum detours on the right) to attack the enemy's flanks..."

With the advantage in the entire line, Davers realized that the enemy had less troops than himself. This was the first time he had led the army in Greater Greece in the battle, so he had the strength to send reinforcements. Strangle any possible disadvantages in the bud.

……………………

King Puchetti Klimoni had never imagined that the current battlefield situation was exactly the opposite of what he had envisioned. Not only were the Mesapi people heavily stationed in the lower valleys of the valley forced to retreat, even his proud Puchti warriors occupied In view of the obvious geographical advantage, it failed to repel the enemy.

Although it is now in a phase of stalemate, judging from the situation at the scene, this stalemate cannot last for long, because Tremoni knows that his soldiers are poorly equipped and have fewer soldiers. Make your array approximately the same length as the enemy array to prevent the wings from being attacked.But when geographical superiority and the bravery of the soldiers are not enough to block and repel the enemy, the stalemate will only benefit the other party.Now, the only good news is that the cavalry defeated the leftmost enemy.

Tremoni hopes that after quickly dispersing the enemy, they can assist the left-wing troops to defeat the enemy, and thus lay the victory in the battle.

At this time, Tremoni saw his scout hurried down the mountain, turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly ran up the mountain. His heart was a little uneasy.

"King, more than a thousand enemies have reinforced the left wing, and our cavalry has fallen into... into a bitter fight!"

In fact, the hard fight is only a euphemism. In fact, the Mep cavalry rushed down from the top of the mountain, struck back and forth, and defeated the Herakliya-Metapontum coalition, but when they pursued the defeated soldiers, because of the mountain It was already narrow, and the enemy and the enemy were mixed together, and there was some obstruction. The speed advantage of the cavalry was completely lost, but the Greek soldiers lost their courage and only fled, not resisting.But when Izam's brigade bypassed the mountain road and surrounded from both sides of the mountainside, the disaster of the Mep Cavalry came.

Riding on a horse without a saddle, fighting on the spot, the riders can't use their full strength to confront the Dionysians, but it is almost impossible to withdraw from the crowded road immediately.Under the protection of the leather shield, the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade not only stabbed people but also injured horses.With the aid of the fleeing Greek soldiers, they gradually recovered their morale and began to fight... The Mape cavalry succumbed to their deaths, not far from defeat.

"What?! How could the Greeks have no troops to fight!" Tremoni stared at the scout.In this era, city-state operations have not retained the reserve team’s habit, and all forces will be pressed together during the battle, so Tremoni dares to venture into cavalry attacks on terrain that is clearly not conducive to cavalry. Now his greatest hope for victory It was cut off like this.

He walked a few steps forward, looking out at the top of the mountain opposite, and there was a vaguely gleaming golden banner, and he knew the enemy coach was there.

"Megatron's military genius in the south..." Tremoni murmured in a low voice.

"King, what should we do now?" Purlo asked Tremoni in a trance, busy.

How to do?retreat?Now that the two armies are strangling together, how can they easily retreat, which will only increase the casualties of the Puchti people, and they still underestimate the Dionysians!This is said to be a new city-state coalition army with strong combat power. If you can avoid fighting with it in the future, try to avoid it... Tremeni even raised a trace of fear in his heart, regretting that he should not have taken his mind for a while, and Should choose to ambush the Tarantum and hand over the task of intercepting Dionysian reinforcements to the Mesapi...

"...Wait." For a long time, Tremoni spit out a word.

Purlo was stunned, and soon understood that Tremoni was talking about waiting for the Mesapi to resolve the Tarantum, and he came to the rescue as soon as possible. This is to place hope on others. This is not special. Limoni's usual practice!

Purlo thought worriedly: in case the Mesapi people came late!
