Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Phibidas stopped talking, and Dionysius's arrogance made him a warrior from the Greek overlord Sparta uncomfortable.

"Phibidas, for the biggest battle in Greek history that is about to begin, I need the help of your best Spartan warrior, so that we can win this battle more easily!"

For the invitation of Dionysius, Fibidas could not refuse, and the phrase "the largest battle in Greek history" was enough to attract him to invest the most enthusiasm.

……………………………

On this same day, Davers made Lizaru, the first brigade of the Third Army, lead three heavy infantry brigades. A total of 3,000 people merged with Elia’s 1,000 to station Poseidonia, while guarding the nearly 10,000. captive.To this end, Davers also sent Kuai Ma to Picos, informing Anta Oris to arrange personnel to escort the captives to the rear of Lucania.

Then, he led another part of the soldiers of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd legions, a total of about 24,000 people, and moved east along the Sele Valley.

The march on this road was not smooth, not only was the road difficult to walk, but also encountered the Samonais from time to time.

At the beginning of receiving the reward from the spies, Davers thought that the Samone wanted to use the mountainous terrain to attack the army, so he sent out the light infantry and light armor of the three legions to protect the wings of the march. .

Unexpectedly, when the soldiers rushed up, they found that the resistance of the enemy was weak, and they were easily captured.

The first thing the captive Samone did was to open his mouth to eat. He called for soldiers who could understand the language of Samone, and when asked, he knew why they were here, and immediately reported to Daveus.

Davers only knew at this time: The army of Samone outside Pottentia was defeated by the night attack, which was really a big surprise!

Originally, Davers only asked Ezham to send a lot of mountain scouts to pretend to be Samone’s collapse, intending to mix into the Samone camp at night, spreading rumors, shaking the military's heart, and of course, if possible, burning the Samone The weight of the war, then the next battle with the Samonais is considered to be a super victory, so he wrote a secret letter to Potentia, hoping to get some help...Of course, this is just a free move. , He did not have high hopes, he will be able to succeed.

Unexpectedly, the Samonais lost like this!This made Davis, who had a clearer understanding of the history of the "Samonets a strong enemy of the early Romans" in his previous life, somewhat unbelievable.

But soon the army met the investigators who rushed back to report from Potentia City. Davers confirmed that the Samone had been defeated, and also learned that the captain of the Mountain Investigation Team in the operation last night. Prentals played an important role. He planned the night raid and took the initiative to contact Pollet in Potentia...

After listening to the night raid, Davers couldn't help but greatly praised the captain of the reconnaissance team: "Lizam, you have a very good man!"

Lizam said seriously: "He is better than me!"

"When the country is in crisis, it's when heroes come out!" Daveus sighed with emotion and remembered the name Prentals in his heart.

Look at these samoines who are so hungry that they walk, and think about them. After a night of chaos and fright, the camp was burned down, washed by heavy rain, and fled all the way. Tired, hungry, and surprised. Where else? Half of the fighting power, the battle of Potentia is basically over!Daveus made a judgment, and he immediately felt a lot lighter in his heart. He immediately ordered: The light armor and light infantry of the legion meet the Samone to attack decisively and expand the results!

At the same time, he quickly dispatched people to the city of Potentia, allowing Puamot to prepare a camp for the army in advance.Originally marching in the war zone, the Dionysian Army generally stopped moving in the afternoon and began to build camps, but today Daveus wants to march boldly and strive to rush to Potentia in one day.

In the evening, the vanguard troops arrived outside the city of Potentia, and they were surprised to see: under the dim sky, two "fire dragons" extended from the town of Potentia all the way to the west pass, which was two miles away. long.It was the people of Potentia who held up torches and came to greet the Dionyan army and illuminate the way for the team...

After knowing the situation, Daphes hurried forward and happened to meet Puamott with a tribal leader: "Dear Lord Davos, all the people of Potentia warmly welcome you to lead the army!" "At Pollett's prompt, Puamot saluted Daveus respectfully, and the leaders behind him also saluted immediately."

Daveus did not sit firmly and accepted Enron's respect, but jumped off the horse in a hurry, responded quickly, and said with a little excitement, excitedly: "It's too late, and I'm leading the army to disturb your quietness. It's really me It’s your fault! I didn’t expect you to greet us in such a passionate way regardless of your own safety when the Potentia territory is still not very safe, really...Thank you! The people and the leaders express their heartfelt thanks!!"

"No, Lord Daphes! It should be us Potentia who thank you Dionysian soldiers." Puamott felt his hard work for Daphes. Bai did it, but he didn't show it, but said emotionally: "Compared with the great graciousness that Dionysia saved Potentia, what little thing did we do to count!"

"We are allies." Dave Si smiled gently: "Allies should help each other like brothers!"

"That's right! You're right!" Puamot nodded again and again, and wanted to say it again. Pollet interjected next: "Master Daves, will our speaking here affect the soldiers' progress?"

Daveus was reminded that when he looked back, the army had stopped advancing. He was busy: "I'm so sorry, leaders! Please follow me here."

"Oh, it was our negligence." Puamot hurriedly led the crowd to make way for the army.

"Tormead!" Daveus called back.

"grown ups!"

"Subpoena, let the drummer and trumpeter play "Victory March" and celebrate this moment of victory with our allies!" Daveus said loudly.

"Understood!" Tormed immediately turned away.

The Dionysian Corps attaches great importance to the smoothness of military orders, and strictly stipulates the use of horns and snare drums to convey instructions. Therefore, there are dozens of commanders and snare drummers, and here are two large and two corps with a total of 24,000 troops. There were hundreds of drummers and trumpeters out.After being ordered by Tolmed, they retreated to the roadside.

As members of the legion who do not participate in the battle, they not only convey the task of military orders during the battle. On the way, in order to cheer up the soldiers and forget their fatigue, they will play music to help the march.

To this end, in the military training of the Alliance, in addition to the joint training with the soldiers in the phalanx training, at other times they have to gather together to practice playing music.In the large-scale celebrations of the alliance, of course, their figure is indispensable, so although they do not directly participate in the battle, they are also respected.

At this time, some trumpeters were replaced with bamboo flutes around their waists, and some snare drummers were replaced with small brass pullers. Everyone performed their duties and began to play music.

"Victory March" is Daphs humming the familiar melody of the previous life and let the musicians of the alliance compose and adapt. Although there is no changeable melody and momentum made by the various instruments of the previous life symphony, but in this era It is rare music.

In the silent night, when the lively and cheerful, but rhythmic melody was played, it quickly resounded over Potentia...

When the Potentians heard it, they felt relaxed. During this time, it seemed that the grief for losing their loved ones and the fear of the destroyed home could be temporarily put down, and enjoy the joy and joy of repelling the strong enemy and winning.

The tired Dionysian soldiers rallied their spirits, straightened their chests, and greeted the citizens of the Allies with the best mental outlook.

"Legion advances!"

At the forefront of the march is the 300 guards of Davis, headed by the captain Rodom (Maltius recuperates in Turui), his hands are raised up to represent the flag of the Supreme Commander of Daves At the top of the banner is the golden statue of Hades wearing a crown, sitting on the throne, holding a double-stranded fork, holding a ball in one hand, and looks more peaceful than the gloomy Hades statue on the top of the legion Show the dignity of the king.The black flag under the statue was embroidered with the name "Daveus" directly on the black silk thread.

The guard was followed by the first legionnaire's flag bearer, but he did not follow the heavy infantry, but the light infantry and light armor.This is because the light armor and light infantry brigades that move quickly can react quickly once they encounter the enemy on the mountain road.In fact, most of the Samonais captured on the way are their credit.

The first legion was followed by the brigade squadron, then the second legionary, and hundreds of Samonais captured on the way, followed by the third legionary, and finally some light infantry and light armor and cavalry brigades, the reason why the cavalry was arranged In the end, it was because some sections of the mountain road could not ride horses at all, and had to be led by horses. The mountain road was narrow. If thousands of horses picked up the urine, it would seriously affect the marching speed of the troops behind them. Prevent the Samonais from attacking their rear.

The Dionysian army has a clear banner, a strict military appearance, and at a neat pace, a high mental state, arranged into a seemingly endless long dragon. This "road of fire" built by the people of Potentia with enthusiasm and cheers Through.Despite their black helmets and armor, they put a lot of pressure on them, but the smile on their faces made the Potentias feel relieved.
