Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

327 Sorrow after the war

The failure came so quickly that Pi Anlun was still reluctant to believe, because he consciously won so close to him: "Offense! Continue to attack! The enemy will lose immediately!!!" he shouted desperately, In an attempt to prevent the surrounding soldiers from fleeing, they were almost pushed down.

"Let's go quickly! If you don't go, you can't go!" The guards forcibly pulled him back.

………………………………

"Master Commander, we have won this battle!" Tolmed came to the report with a happy face: "The enemy has run away across the board!"

This result was as expected by Daveus. He looked calm and said, "This battle is not over. It is not enough to repel the enemy. It depends on the final result!"

Usually, in a positive battle, the loss of the losing soldier rarely exceeds 10%, and after the flee, if the pursuit is proper, the casualty rate of the losing party will increase greatly. This is because the defeated soldiers who have no fighting spirit have no intention of resisting. Too.

So Daveus let the offensive bugle sound all the time.

The Dionysian soldiers simply threw away the heavy copper shields and helmets, held the guns in both hands, continued to pursue forward regardless of their tired bodies, and cooperated with the reinforcements rushing from the front to encircle the enemy.

The light infantry and freemen led by Bisinian fighters, Epitanes and Zpitt, and the Izam Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade pulled a "big net" from the right wing of the Bruti formation to the rear of the middle road.Although this "net" is not very strong, and the mesh is too large, it is enough to deter the Bruti who only want to escape.

In the cries of Dionysians everywhere, some of the soldiers threw out their weapons and sat on the ground.

The Riders Cavalry Brigade pursued the fleeing enemies with extremely evacuated, wide two-way arrays.The cavalry with enough horsepower is like a thick fence to sweep the stumps and leaves...

Near dusk, the Dionysian cavalry stopped chasing. When they came back wearily from the mountainous and rugged Cosenza plateau, the individual horses were bloodied and scary. Later, the soldiers of good deeds took them A nickname of "Blood Cavalry", and eventually became its official name.

At this time, the battle was all over. At the cost of 1500 casualties, Dionia caused nearly 5,000 casualties and more than 5,000 prisoners in the Bruty Alliance, and won a big victory.

Lades happily came to see Davers and was told: Lord Commander had already gone to the crematorium.

Walking on the battlefield where the corpses ran wild, Davies' joy of winning had long disappeared.

The soldiers placed their dead teammates neatly on the grass, but they couldn't see their heads at a glance.They cautiously put two Opels on the eyes of the deceased while praying to the Hades with tears in their eyes.

Looking at the pale faces that seemed familiar, Davers struggled a little.Finally, he stopped, and a dozen soldiers on the road ahead cried around a corpse. He was the first person he knew, and the captain of the Second Corps, Ktips.

Moving in his heart, he stepped forward and whispered, "Who is the dead?"

"Master Commander!" The team officers and soldiers saw him and saluted in a hurry.

He saw the face of the deceased in the gap, which was a familiar face.Alsinis, a passionate and cheerful young man from Amendolara, the hero of the Second Crotone War, the flag bearer in triumph.At the last attack in this battle, Alcinis ran as the team leader, rushing to the front, and was stabbed in the chest by a spear thrown by a bold enemy who was not in a hurry...

Listening to the painful words of Ktips, Davers took two Opels from the soldiers and put them on the closed eyelids of Alcinis... a year ago, this brave young man was bold Swimming with him, but now his body is as cold as a stone.At this moment, how much Davos hopes that Hades in this world really exists, so according to Dionysia's respect for Pluto, he will certainly be able to give these Dionysian soldiers to be treated preferentially in hell...

After coming out of the group of soldiers, Davers walked a little further, and then stopped, looking at the corpse furnaces burning with blazing fire in the distance...

For a long time, he said to Tolmed who had been silently following behind him: "You think... this time Dionysia launched a war against Bruti... right or wrong?"

"Uh..." Tolmed didn't know how to answer for a while.

However, Davis's expression soon became firm, and he replied with a firm tone: "Of course yes! In this era, either we destroy others, or others destroy us. Apart from strengthening ourselves, there is no Another way!"

Regarding Daphus’s words, Tolmed strongly agrees: In the Eastern Mediterranean, he has seen the persecution of the Persians against small and small races, and the Spartans’ rampant domination in Ionia and Asia Minor; came to the West After the Mediterranean, I also heard about the power of Carthage and the tyranny of Syracuse.But what he didn't expect was that what Davos was worried about at the moment was a Latin city in central Italy, Rome, which he had never heard of.

…………………………

"Master Commander, the brothers of the First Army, and the soldiers of the reserve... They are taking a break when they are clenching. They are too tired! They fell asleep almost on the ground, and they couldn't even take off their breastplates." Ka Pu Si said with some heartache.

"This battle...Whether it is the First Army, the Second Army, or other teams, they have put in their best efforts and the battle has been very difficult!" Davers said with exclamation, but he still reminded Capps: "However, it is autumn, and the night in the mountains is heard to be much colder than Turi. The brothers fell to the ground and fell asleep after sweating violently. Watch out for the cold! Now our medical camp is overcrowded. , I don’t want any more unnecessary injuries!"

Anton Rios next to Davos, he once again served as a military officer in the army during this expedition. He was obviously already familiar with this position, and he made suggestions at this time: "I think it can help auxiliary soldiers of the battalion. We took out the blankets carried by the soldiers of the First Army and covered them with themselves."

Daveus nodded in agreement, and he looked at Dracos again, the second legionnaire commander slightly lowered his head, his hands on his back, and his left leg shook gently.

Daveus glanced at him carefully and asked, "Can our camp be built by night?"

"Brothers of the Second Army are holding the captives and stepping up their construction, as well as the Alliance led by the Mountain Brigade, the Bissinian Warriors and the Trifias and Gorkis (General of Castron). The army also builds camps under the guidance of engineers... before the night comes, it will definitely be built!"

Trifias and Gorkis nodded after Draco mentioned their names.

Daveus thanked the two of them, and then asked, "How did those Bruty captives behave?"

"We severely punished dozens of captives who dared to resist, and there were Bisinians who set an example beside them, and their performance was fairly obedient."

Daveus nodded, he walked back and forth a few steps, Shen Sheng said: "Don't abuse them! If you find that the Bruti people can't work hard, allow them to stop and rest...Oh, you can grasp the specific situation. "

"Yes."

"What's going on with the injury on your right hand?" Drakos patronized how he wanted to complete the task assigned to Davos, not paying attention to Davis's approaching behind him.

He hurriedly drew back his hand, stepped back two steps, and shook his head, saying: "No... nothing, was stabbed by the soldier... the spear was accidentally injured..."

He shook his head, and a blood groove under his jaw just reflected in the eyes of Daveus. Daveus, who was regarded as a teacher by Helps, knew that the vital carotid artery was near this wound, and he could imagine the thrill of the scene at that time. And the luck of Drakos.

At this moment, Davis's face sinks: "You rushed to the front again, didn't you! How many times have I told you, you are the commander of the army commanding more than 7,000 people, not an ordinary soldier, if you fight If you die, how much impact will it have on the entire battle, you know? The Dionysian military law is just a play for you, isn't it! If you don't want to follow it, don't follow it..."

Daveus scolded, and Dracos sagged his head, daring not to speak out.

In the eyes of outsiders, a young man scolds a strong man in his 30s like a father training children. This scene is a bit funny.But the senior generals of Dionysia and the important figures of the confederations all have serious expressions around them. Try to hold your breath as much as possible to see the power of Daphes.

"Temporarily hand over the command of the Second Army to Adrienx, you immediately go to Stacey Kodas (the director of the medical battalion of the troop, one of Herps's right-hand assistants), and after the wound is bandaged, Go to the military judge yourself and accept the punishment!"

Daveus had just finished speaking, and Dracos replied yes, turned and ran away like Meng.

"Master Commander, actually...the soldiers were very tired when they finally attacked, and Dracos also wanted to use this method to inspire the soldiers..." Antonio explained to Drax in four whispers.

"Alsinis, you should all know. After the second victory against Crotone, he was the flag bearer in the triumph and is now a squad leader of the Second Army, a very promising young team officer. "Daveus sighed a long time: "I just paid the river to him for Lu Rong... what the regimental commander does, the junior team officers will learn, I don’t want to see the position of the second corps officer anymore There are always vacancies. This Draco, who will die in battle, has to be beaten!

After Daphus finished speaking, Capps and Antonios could not say anything more.
