Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 324 Dionysian School Lunch Break

The speed of the Bruti cavalry is slowed down, and once the stagnation cavalry is more likely to be the target of the attack.In the dust and fog, the cavalry frightened. They not only had to guard against the javelin thrown by the enemy, but also had to be careful not to be tripped by their comrades who fell from time to time.

Seeing that the cavalry behind them was in chaos, the cavalry who had rushed to the front, under the leadership of the leader, had to turn around and charge the light infantry of Dionysians to relieve their teammates.

Epidnis soon learned that the enemy was on the attack, instead of evacuating the soldiers, he greeted them with some light shield soldiers.He knew that the cavalry charge was not a spear in the cavalry, but a running horse, hitting a light infantry with little protection, either a fracture or a serious injury.In fact, the dense spear array is the best way to stop the cavalry charge, but the light infantry do not have this condition, and they have no time to prepare.

Facing the brutal cavalry, he and these battle-hardened former Thracian light shield soldiers put the pike on the javelin rod without hesitation.

"Toss!" Epitanius roared, struggling to throw the javelin in his hand. The javelin flew flat and straight, and in a blink of an eye, he deeply penetrated the horse's neck in front of him.

The horse was screaming and the cavalry was about to throw off the horse.

Along with this round of throwing by the light shield soldiers, a group of people turned over in front of them.They did not look at the throwing effect, but quickly took out the back blade of the waist, raised the left hand leather shield, squatted on the ground with an arrow, and looked at the enemy ride that had rushed to their eyes, and moved quickly to the left and right. Scroll sideways.When it was too late to avoid, they would fall to the ground, shrink into a ball, and cover their heads and chests with a leather shield to block the trampling of the horseshoes.Seeing the opportunity, they will cut the horse's leg with the curved blade of the counter-blade, frighten the horse, and throw the cavalry down.

………………………

At the time when the Bruty cavalry was in trouble, the forces led by Zpitt had already fought against the Bruty light infantry.

The arrows staggered in the air are dense like thick black clouds. When it turns into an arrow rain and falls to both sides, it takes away a lot of life.

After a few rounds, Bruty light infantry could not withstand it.After all, all archers in Dionia are concentrated on the left wing, and their number is not comparable to that of Bruti, who evenly distributes light infantry.

But in the middle and right wing of the Dionysian Front, Bruty Light Infantry can arbitrarily pour arrows at the Dionysian soldiers. They even approached throwing javelins within 50 meters.

The soldiers of the Dionysian Legion erected a long shield wall with thick copper shields and iron helmets to block the enemy's long-range attack fire.

The team officers shouted, "Stabilize! Hold! Don't worry!..." Preventing the soldiers from impulsively throwing javelins in their hands is easy to alert the enemy and disrupts the team as a whole Defense, resulting in an unnecessary increase in casualties.

Fortunately, as the Bruti infantry approached, the light infantry had to retreat immediately, quickly passed through the gap between the infantry teams, and retreated to the rear, otherwise they would be wrapped by the infantry and reached the forefront of the battle, Face to face with Greek heavy infantry with heavy shields and heavy armor.

The Bruti infantry finally started running, and they roared, striding towards the Dionysian phalanx in strict formation.

Compared with the aggressive Bruty fighters, the Dionysian soldiers were calm like a mountain. They held their javelins in their hands and fixed their eyes on the distance from the enemy.

The team officers shouted: "Javelin!"

On the left, center, and right roads, the long military formations of seven or eight miles, one after another, there were dark clouds floating in succession.

The charged Bruti was caught off guard, and was taken away by the sharp spear tip into the lives of hundreds of soldiers in an instant.However, the javelin rain did not delay the advancement of the Bruti fighters. They crossed the corpses of their comrades and accelerated the speed, so that many Dionysian soldiers had no time to throw a second javelin, they suddenly It hit the shield wall of the Dionysian formation, and immediately hit the shield wall with numerous cracks.

The Bruty fighters rushed in fearlessly, trying to widen the gap.The Dionian soldiers in the third and fourth columns quickly raised their shields to meet them and forced the enemy back with bayonet.

For a time, the soldiers of the two sides touched each other, the spears and spears intersected, the dust was filled, and the killing sound shook the sky...

When the noonday sun cast a shadow on a small sundial, Onatas, who was in charge of teaching Greek, announced that the morning session was over.

When the children cheered, he solemnly said: "Children, after you go back, I hope you can read this poem by Hesiod, and it is best to recite it. For these new words I teach, you must remember Come down, I have to check tomorrow, do you remember?!"

"Remember, teacher!" the students answered in unison.

"Especially you, Patroclus." Onatas pointed to the child sitting far away, reminding: "Go back this time and use dim sum, I don't want to see you fine again tomorrow, understand?"

Patroclus lowered his head in embarrassment.

The students around laughed loudly.

The poor performance of Patroclus in the Greek language class is in stark contrast to the speed and accuracy of his questions in the math class.

Onatas left the classroom, and the students cheered and ran out.

Steflos grabbed Patroclus's arm and urged: "Hurry up! Hurry up! You will be robbed later!"

The two rushed out of the classroom, and as soon as they turned, they heard "Ouch" and a little girl fell to the ground.

"Hey, are the two of you blind?" Cynthia scolded, bending down and asking with concern: "Gitia, are you okay?"

"I... it's okay." Kitia replied weakly.

Cynthia pulled her up and stared back at the two boys fiercely: "Come and apologize! Otherwise don't want to leave!" Don't look at Cynthia's youngest, but these two boys who are extremely active in the class seem to be afraid of her Similarly, he nodded hurriedly and said: "I'm sorry, Kitia, because we are going..."

"I'm okay, go and buy butter bread quickly. You won't be able to catch up when you go late." Guitia was not angry, but reminded them softly.

The two boys were relieved and ran away quickly. Patroclus did not forget to look back at Cynthia while running, and then quickly looked away.

Cynthia snorted: "Gitia, you're a good talker. If I never treat them lightly!"

Kitia smiled softly and patted the dust.

"Oh, that's right! Let's eat at my house today at noon. Let's eat real butter bread!" Cynthia suddenly thought of something and sent her an invitation: "In the morning, when I left home, my mother told me to take it at noon You are home!"

Kitia stopped talking and nodded slightly.

Afternoon in Turri Junior School is usually scheduled sports class: boys do simple military training and football, football and other exercises, girls are running, jumping and some games, so the free time at noon is not long.

Except for the children in Turi Ibn City who have time to go home for lunch, children who are far away can only solve their stomach problems nearby.Fortunately, with the expansion of the school's influence, the increase in students, teachers, guards and other personnel, let businessmen and hawkers see business opportunities, they set up shops in the designated area outside the school, selling books, paper, stationery, clothing, Food... The most famous is the small restaurant built by the consul wife Christoia here. She provides lunch to students at a low price. The students’ favorite lunch is the newly launched cream bread of the restaurant every day. There are long queues of students and even teachers to buy, in short supply.

As a classmate in the same classroom, Cynthia and Gitia soon became good friends. Cynthia invited her to be a guest for the first time, and received the kind hospitality from Christia.Especially after knowing that Kitia is an old comrade of Daphes, the head daughter of the First Army Corps, and the adopted daughter of the veteran Alexis (Alexis has always lived in Amendolara and did not move to Turri ), Christoya even warmly invited her to come to the mansion for dinner at noon every day, and this enthusiasm of Christoya also brought her and Cynthia's mother-daughter relationship closer.

………………………

The delta between the Krati River and the Koseni River was originally a settlement of city-state slaves. The collection and storage areas of stone and copper mines and washing areas not only have poor security and poor environment, but also have many daily The slag was poured into two rivers.

After seeing this situation, Daveus took charge of Turrii, and he discussed with Kunogolata and Marigi many times how to manage this area.

Eventually, the Union's public slave residence was moved to the military camp north of the main city of Turui. Not only was it kept away from the Turri residential area, but also the military camp was monitored nearby. If there was an anomaly, troops could be sent to suppress it immediately.At the same time, the stone mine workshop was moved to the market next to the port. The copper mine workshop was moved to the new business park in Amendolara at the beginning of the year, next to the Saraceno River, so that it can get enough technical personnel nearby, and with other The workshop formed a good interaction.The most important thing is that the Crati and Kosenyi Rivers, which are related to the lives and health of thousands of residents in Turui, are free from pollution.

Then, Davers planned this vacant land as the cultural center of the entire Dionysian Union. The Dionysian School was established here, and the Dionysian Academy representing the Union’s highest scientific and cultural level is being built. It has been made clear that: President of Turriy Hospital Helps will build a medical school in the college; Mento Tick Els will also move the Institute of Mathematics into it; Ansitanos plans to establish a history research team.

In order to ensure that students and teachers can study and study with peace of mind, Davers also asked Little Heracled to build a wooden bridge in the middle of the Koseni River, allowing frequent, ore-carrying carts to pass from the north of the delta.Only the two wooden bridges carrying pedestrians from north to south cannot be closed for a while, but Herculides Jr. is already studying the construction of a real stone bridge directly between the north and south of Turi.
