Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Report! Lord Commander, our blocking force has been repelled, and the enemy is attacking our right wing!"

Although Philius had already been mentally prepared, he still felt a little palpitated when he heard the news.He gazed anxiously in front of the dusty fog, the figure was hazy, and the vocal voice was still the same as before. The Diorian Legion, which he had high hopes for, still showed no signs of breaking the enemy...

"Master Commander, we... what shall we do?" the adjutant asked nervously.

Felixius said nothing: Where is the coalition at the moment to stop the enemy's reinforcements?

It's just that he still has a luck in his heart, but this luck was soon smashed.

"Report Lord Commander, enemy reinforcements appear on the right! There are... there are tens of thousands of people! They are attacking Crotone's back line, Crotone... the Crotone can't resist...have begun to retreat... "

"What!!" Felixius and his followers were struck by lightning, and they were all dumbfounded.

The battle-hardened Phillips was the first to recover, immediately hissing and shouted: "Retreat! Hurry the retreat! Retreat immediately!!!"

Now that the defeat of the Allied Forces has been decided, then... we must bring the Fourth and Fifth Legions back as safely as possible!Under the painful gaze of Philius, "Woo! Woo! Woo!..." The retreating trumpet sounded from behind the coalition forces.

This trumpet not only surprised the Dionysian soldiers, but also made team officers at all levels incredible.

"Is Philophus crazy?! Seeing that we are about to break the defense of the Syracuse, he dare to let us retreat at this time!" Dracos must be angry, even if there is a herald who will take Philly Hughes told him the reason for his retreat, and it was difficult for him to accept for a while.

"Give me a little more time! A little more time! Wait for my legion to defeat the enemy on the opposite side and then retreat! The Legion of Dionysia has never been defeated and cannot lose this honor on our hands! It is a shame! ..."

Listening to the painful roar of the regiment leader, everyone around them bowed their heads sadly.

……………………………

"We...were defeated..." After listening to the herald, Epidenis clenched the crotch of the warhorse's mane tightly. Unconsciously.

"...Shifting the army flag." He squeezed out the sentence from his mouth with difficulty, his face already burst into tears.

When the trumpet sounds, the legionnaires still have to look at the instructions of the military flag. This is because the sound on the battlefield is noisy, and it is difficult for the enemy and the enemy to distinguish.

"Look! The flag is moving!!" The Dionysian soldiers looking back were in an uproar.

Not only the regiment flag, the brigade flag, but also the company flag waved to the rear...

……………………………

"Congratulations, Master! The Greeks are defeated, and you won the battle! This is a great victory. From now on, this land is yours! You have the final say!" Facing the praise of Damocles, Di Oniusius was not too complacent, more than 70,000 people to more than 50,000 people, the victory was expected.But what he did not expect was that the most elite heavy infantry of Syracuse was completely suppressed by the so-called "Legion" of Dionia on the battlefield. The key is the fourth and fifth legions composed of aliens. (Dionysius collected the Dionysian intelligence with great care), what if the first and second legions they boasted about, what should Siracusa do with its heavy infantry?

Therefore, even after winning, Dionysius remained alert: "Although the enemy was defeated, but the battle was not over, he continued to urge the two-wing reinforcements to continue to pursue, killing and captive more Greeks, especially Dai. Onia!"

"You took all the heralds to find Axirita and Gaba for me and told them that I was very angry that they did not obey the order and assisted the attacking right-wing troops unless they immediately chased the enemies in black armor , Kill them as much as possible and capture them, otherwise they don’t want to get even a silver coin!"

…………………………

Effiart has also practiced how to retreat in previous military training, but I did not expect to use it for the first time in the battle.After smashing the long shield towards the enemy with great distress, he turned and ran with his dagger in hand. The saber thrown by the enemy hit him on the back. He stumbled and almost fell.

Effiart used both hands and feet and quickly climbed up. His detachment had run a dozen meters away from the enemy's array. He glanced at the flying flag and eagerly followed.

At this moment of turning around and running away, the danger is the greatest.Some soldiers were stabbed by the overtaking enemies and watched as their teammates fell to the ground to call for help. The soldiers who had always emphasized unity did not care about saving their teammates at this moment. They ran desperately, hoping to distance themselves from the enemy.

When the voice of the team leader "Quick! Quick! Quick!..." reached his ears clearly, Effie Alter's nervousness temporarily relaxed.The team officer said "Fast! Quick!" does not mean that the soldiers are running around. According to the "Dionysia Military Law", they should gather as close as possible to the nearest military under the retreat and run together To avoid losing organization due to excessive confusion.

Running and running, Effie Alter heard the footsteps in the back gradually diminishing, and looking back, the enemy had been pulled away by him a lot, and some even stopped chasing.If you think about it, you can understand that within an hour, carrying heavy armor and continuous fighting, the physical strength has long been exhausted. The Dionysian soldiers are for life, and in their usual military training, they are armed with off-road It is one of the important projects. Spartans have been doing this training since childhood.The Syracuse soldiers who had won the battle apparently did not have this desire and this ability to pursue.

Effie Alter's nervousness calmed down even more.

However, after running for a while, the large army gradually slowed down.

It turned out that the position of the Fourth Army was right and adjacent to Trina. En Amenas led the Campania mercenaries from west to east in an attempt to hug the fleeing Trina while the fleet of sailors anchored on the river bank We saw that there were cheap ones to pick up, and in order to get the loot, we also went ashore to participate in the interception, making this large network of pursuits becoming more and more dense, oppressing the large group of panicked fishes of the Trina to flee to the east. , Naturally squeezing the space for the withdrawal of the 4th Legion of Dionia.

"Quick! Quick! Quick!..." Epidenis standing on the bank of the Kolache hurriedly urged his soldiers to cross the river, no matter whether the soldiers could hear him in such a chaotic scene. Shout.

Felixius, who was standing on the opposite side of the Kolache River, was even more painful. He did not expect that in order to limit the detour of the enemy cavalry, he chose this river as a barrier to the rear formation, but now it has blocked the retreat of the Dionysian Army Although the river was neither wide nor deep, thousands of frightened soldiers rushed in and instantly stamped the river bank into mud. Once the panicked soldier fell, it was not only a disaster for him, but also a soldier behind him. They are even more disasters.

The countless soldiers in the river bed are entangled, and there is no order at all. Everyone pushes me and the scene is becoming more chaotic...

Philius seemed to see the recurrence of the tragedy in the Persian gorge that year. His shouts and reminders were so small in this ten-mile stretch of the river that it was completely negligible.

Felix reluctantly looked back, and when he turned his head, he saw a row of trumpeters and snare drummers behind him, and a flash of light flashed in a flash: "Quick! Quickly play "Battlefield March"! Play "Battlefield March" !......"

He seemed to yell like crazy, scaring the commando soldiers to hurriedly put the mouthpiece of the French horn on his right shoulder in his mouth. Because of the tension, the first tone blew away, but gradually they played more and more. The more fluent, the more powerful.

"Battlefield March" is also adapted from the symphony heard in the past life in the memory of Davers. It shows the fearless spirit of soldiers going to the battlefield and killing the enemy with a majestic, strong and fast melody.When this melody reverberated in the Kolache River, the soldiers of the 4th Legion heard the courage and honor in their hearts, which gradually restored their senses, and the confusion in the river bed was also reduced...

Philius also ordered the light armoured soldiers who had previously retreated from the river bank to descend into the river bed to form a dense array to separate the Trina, reducing the interference with the orderly withdrawal of the Dionysian Fourth Army, even in an emergency. Under circumstances, you can also use force to drive them west.At this moment, Felix was also forced to treat his allies.

"Master Commander, the Fifth Army... The large army of the Fifth Army has not yet reached the river bank!" An adjutant hurried to report.

"What?!" Felixius felt that his head was about to explode, and there was a wave of ups and downs, and his good temper could not help but be furious: "What is Dracos doing?!"

…………………………

Draco's unwillingness caused him to hesitate on the issue of retreat. Most of the soldiers heard the trumpet sound, but saw that the flag had not moved and did not dare to retreat.

It wasn't until Drakos found that the left and right troops of the Fifth Army had pulled back all the way, and the Fifth Army saw that it was about to become an lone army, and it hurriedly ordered the retreat.

The retreat of the Fifth Legion should have been smoother than the Fourth Legion, because Crotone’s fierce attack almost turned Syracuse’s right-wing formation into a semicircle, and of course the left-wing array of Crotone’s army also became In an arc, the Crotone soldiers at the far left were originally facing south and back to north, and finally turned to face west and back to east.After being attacked by Fasi Pesas reinforcements, their direction of fleeing was mainly towards the southeast.The Silitian soldiers led by Azerias are closer to the middle road, because the mother state Silitin is not far from the east. Most of the Silitian soldiers did not know that there was enemy reinforcements in the east, and they still instinctively fled to the east. The Rotones huddled together.
