Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Davers didn't plan to fight with Bruty Alliance at this moment, so he chose to camp here.At the same time, he believes that the Bruty League experienced the siege failure of the previous day.Will be more cautious, abandoning the geographical position, the possibility of marching dozens of miles to come to challenge is not very big, but did not expect the enemy to really come.Now that it's here, let's fight!

The strength of both sides is equal. Although half of the soldiers in the Dionysian army may be tired due to the construction of the camp, this is not a reason to avoid war.The enemy came out of the nest, and Davos was looking for it. He suddenly stood up and asked, "How is the camp built?"

"The trench has been dug and the earth barrier is being built." Tolmed replied, spinning again and asked: "Do the soldiers need to retreat behind the trench?"

Davers waved his hand and refused.The Dionysian Army has always been mainly offensive. Although the trenches can increase the difficulty of the enemy’s attack, it also limits his own offensive ability, so that the morale of the soldiers cannot be fully exerted. He will not do so in special circumstances. .

"Blow the assembly bugle, and then call the captains of Capps and Drakos, as well as the captain of the cavalry team, Ledes... yes, and also call Epitanes and Cpit. "Daveus gave the order.

"Yes." Tolmed quickly rushed to subpoena.

"Are we going to fight the Brutus here?" Trifias was nervous.

"Yes, it seems that the end of the war with Bruti is ahead of time!" Daveus smiled confidently. Trifias was infected by his smile, relaxed, and performed a Greek military salute: " Then please allow me to summon my soldiers first."

……………………………

Pi Anlun led the army towards the Punat River, over a high slope, and down to a wide flat grass.On the grass, countless Greeks were gathering and arraying, and from a height, it looked like a pile of ants that had been dented, a messy scene, which made him scornful.

"Stop, prepare for the array!" He immediately ordered.

Although the formation of the Greeks did not yet have a prototype, he stood on a high slope and overlooked it, and he also had a general impression: The right side of the Dionysians is the confluence of the Punat River and the Krati River, all the way to the left. It is a flat grassland without any terrain obstacles, and behind it is a mud pit dug by them.

After watching it for a while, he had a decision in his heart: due to the difficulty of walking on the side of the river, there was little room for attack and maneuver, he placed the 5,000 tribal warriors forcibly recruited from various tribes on the left; the middle road was Ambalia And more than 5,000 fighters in Vigo; the right wing is 12,000 fighters in Cosenza.

Obviously, he wanted to use the largest number of Cosenza warriors with the most fighting power to establish the victory on the right wing.

Pi Anlun originally thought: take advantage of the chaos of the enemy's organization, and quickly set up a good attack!

But the troops of more than 20,000 people are from different tribes. To arrange the formation in a short time, you need a complete command system, long-term military training, and very disciplined soldiers. These points The Bruti people did not meet the requirements, so the whole army began to slowly expand in the chaotic state of trumpet blowing, snare drums, people shouting horses, you pushing me, noisy and noisy.

Pi Anlun was originally quite leisurely while watching the enemy's movements, while waiting for his own array to complete.But after a while, his face looked a little unsightly.

Because the Dionysians who were just messed up soon formed "small cubes", and then these countless small cubes moved to a fixed position like building blocks quickly without disturbing each other.Soon, Dionysia's formation began to take shape.

It was a formation that Pian Lun had never seen before. The "small squares" were not close, but there were many gaps.From top to bottom, it looks like green and white wool blankets (because the linen breastplate is white).Although Pianlun didn't know the power of such a strange array, the speed of the Dionysian array made him feel uneasy.

He said loudly to Petaru beside him: "Go and urge Bergam to make them move faster!"

…………………………

The turmoil of the Dionysian array that Pianlun first saw was the moment when the soldiers of the First Legion hurriedly climbed out of the hot camp, wearing armor and rejoining their team.Now that the formation has begun, Dave's slightly nervous mood has settled down.

"Master Commander, our right wing is still in formation, and it has not yet unfolded!" Tolmed came anxiously to report.

"Don't worry, there are allies on the right, there are legion reserves, and the source of the soldiers is the most mixed." Daveus rode on the horse and looked to the left: in the late autumn, it has not rained for more than ten days. The land is dry. The movement of soldier 10,000 has long stirred up the dust, and there can be seen a little bit of the right wing.

Daveus said with a leisurely expression: "Trephias did not hurry to form an array, but reorganized the troops first, but it made me feel relieved."

His finger pointed forward: "You see that the Bruti people did not move on the grassy slope. It is estimated that they were also in the formation. It just gave us time to let the soldiers of the First Army rest and recover a little."

Tolmed looked intently: the front of 500 meters away was also filled with dust...

"Go and inform Ledes." Daveus ordered again: "Let him send seven or eight cavalry units to harass the enemy's left, center, and right, delay their deployment speed, and observe their response, Come back and report to me."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute. You tell Lades that I'm talking about harassment, not hard work. If the enemy's cavalry comes after you, immediately return it, don't let the cavalry get damaged!" Daveus repeatedly told.

"Understood, sir."

……………………………

"Kids, keep up!"

"Uncle, we can run faster than you without riding a horse."

"Stinky boy, you have itchy skin, right, go back and have your pretty look."

"Captain, you should have done this already!"

In a burst of laughter, the cavalry squad led by Solikos had traversed the entire battlefield and reached the Punat River.

"Stop!" Zorikos tapped the spear and the whole team stopped.

"All dismounted!"

"Why, Captain?! We haven't reached the enemy's front!" The cavalry cried out.

"Follow the orders!" Sorikos shouted loudly.

Although the cavalry were reluctant, they were obliged to do so under the influence of military regulations, but they shouted in disbelief: "Captain, other teams have thrown javelins at the enemy. Do you want us to be deserters?!"

"Shut up! Our unit was ordered to harass the leftmost wing of the enemy. The running distance is the longest. The horses are also a little tired. Let them rest for a while in order to complete the task better! I will take you out and I will take you smoothly go back!"

"Okay, Captain, we listen to you. But how long do you have to wait?!"

"Wait for my order."

The cavalry had to pat the restless warhorse, while watching the gray battlefield ahead, watching their teammates in the distance rush into the dust mist, and sometimes withdraw from the horse... In their ears, it tickled them.

The time passed so slowly that when they were a little impatient, "Get on the horse!" Soricos's shouting was like a long drought, which gave them a great spirit.

Fifty horses took four hoofs and began to trot, gradually forming a wedge shape as they progressed.

Zorikos was at the forefront, he held his spear high and waved forward twice: "Speed ​​up!"

In front is a 30-meter-high grass slope. Although it is not steep, it is necessary to prevent the cavalry from slowing down when going uphill and being attacked by the enemy.

The warhorse's four hoofs flew, and the cavalry held the horse's neck tightly, leaning forward to speed up the speed of the horse.

Soricos first jumped up the grassy slope. A few dozen meters away, the densely-brute people extended from the banks of the Punat River. I don’t know how far it is. One row, two rows, three rows... It is also difficult to count how thick their square matrix is.

Zorikos felt that he was standing in front of the enemy, like an ant standing in front of an elephant. The invisible and huge pressure accumulated on his chest, making him feel breathless.He took a deep breath and drew out a short javelin, his legs caught in the belly, and the horse accelerated again.

The cavalry followed.

50m, 40m, 30m... The raised horseshoe fell on the cracked mud, as if the drumstick hit the drum head, making the sound of "Dah! Dah!", plus the rapid advance of the cavalry unit It caused quite a lot of turmoil and caused a series of riots in the Bruty array that was just placed.

Just as the Bruty soldiers shoved and exclaimed each other, Zorikos threw his javelin, and then dozens of javelins followed into the enemy formation, and screams rang out one after another.

The Brutus were even more chaotic, and some withdrew back in panic, some rushed in anger...

Solicos's spear waved to the left, and led his cavalry squadron to turn left at a distance of more than 20 meters from the enemy formation and drove forward along the front of the Bruti array.Wherever he went, it was like a stone smashing into the calm water, but the ripples were not able to subdue in a moment and a half. At the same time, the enemy's panic and confusion were reflected in the eyes of Soricos. He realized that his mission had been achieved. Order decisively: "Turn left!"

As soon as the cavalrymen turned around and returned, the Bruty cavalry arrived and chased.

Dionysian Light Infantry arrived in time to respond and used a javelin to retreat hundreds of Bruty cavalry.

Daveus cleverly used the cavalry's "fire reconnaissance" to make the response of the various departments of the opposite Bruti array. Through the report of Ledes, he gave him a general understanding of Bruti's array.Judging from the performance of the cavalry harassment, Bruty's left wing is the worst, and the strongest is the right wing, which makes the Cavalry of Dionynia pay a dozen deaths and injuries.Obviously, the Bruti’s ideas are consistent with Davos, and the weakest troops are arranged on the side of the river, and the strongest troops are placed on the outside. After all, this is in accordance with the principles of military law.
