Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Looking at the dust blowing in front, listening to the sound of horseshoes approaching like a thunder, Capps' heart was also beating violently, because he knew that the key to victory or defeat in this battle was the spear brigade he led. .A victory defeats the biggest advantage of the Syracuse, and thus opens the door to victory for the entire army. A defeat may make the enemy’s already powerful right wing more powerful with the help of cavalry, and the whole army will fall into Dilemma.

Capps felt deeply responsible, but at this time there was no time to let him be nervous and uneasy again, his own cavalry had broken into his vision...

"Lift the spear!!" He roared to vent his fear.

"Lift the spear!" the team officers shouted with a trembling voice.

"Advance is life, retreat is death!!! Marcher is life, retreat is death!!!..." Tapirus, the company captain, heard a shout from behind and he and the soldiers beside him knew , That is the two thousand light armoured soldiers who were lined up behind the spear brigade and transferred to the various legions. They not only prevented the enemy from riding the spear brigade, played the last line of defense, but also beheaded and escaped. The power of the spearmen. In these few days of exercise, King Davers has very seriously reminded all the soldiers of the spear brigade.

But even with the threat and reminder of the light armor behind him, Tapirus and his teammates were shaking with their hands holding a spear, although the Dionysian cavalry had been used as an enemy cavalry charge many times before, so these recruits could adapt But, after all, it was an exercise, and it rarely killed people, and now it is a real battlefield. The huge momentum created by thousands of enemy riders is far more terrifying than during training.

The body of each spearman trembles with the tremor of the earth, causing the obliquely raised spears to sway non-stop, colliding with each other and making the sound of "Wlaha"...

At this moment, a tidy shout came again from behind: "For citizenship!!! For the land!!! Become the hero to save Dionia!!!"

The cry shouted through the noisy battlefield and penetrated into the heart of each spearman, evoking the greatest longing in their hearts. The power of this longing gradually made their teeth no longer fight, their tongues were not shaking, they could follow The light armourmen shouted together.Each time they shouted, their volume increased a bit, and the hands holding the spear became more powerful.When their cry turned into a roar, almost covering the sound of horseshoes, a spear was firmly pointed in the direction of the enemy.

At this moment, Capus was initially determined, while praising the spiritual victory method taught by His Majesty Daveus, it was indeed useful, while paying close attention to the situation ahead.

Nearly 2,000 Dionysian cavalrymen had to withdraw completely from both sides, and it would take time to free the spear brigade for a mile in front of the battlefield, but Capps knew that he did not have this time to wait, the enemy is likely After recognizing that there was an anomaly ahead, he retreated or bypassed the front, so he could not wait for his cavalry to completely withdraw before taking action.

"Offense!" He waved his arm resolutely.

The whole spear brigade is going to meet up, carrying the galloping enemy rides head-on, instead of standing still like in the Trionto River battle, which is what Capps is most worried about.

This was also what Lades was worried about. He was afraid that his cavalry would directly hit his own spear array due to tension or not moving fast enough, causing unnecessary losses.

"Go forward!" As the captain of the company, Tapirus, like other team officers, reminded his soldiers that his voice was slightly trembling.

The soldiers still shouted the slogan that made them excited, and began to move forward steadily in small steps.The soldiers in the back row were close to the backs of the soldiers in the front row, one on the other, and spears protruded from the right shoulder of the soldier in front.Viewed from the side, the spears of the 15 column soldiers form a continuous "spear wall" with little inclination from front to back.

Although the cold, visibly palpable "spear wall" began to become tortuous due to the acceleration of its forward movement, it remained tight.This tightness made every soldier in the formation feel more and more calm because of the collective power; at the same time, this tightness made every soldier even afraid of fear, he could not escape the battlefield, he couldn’t even turn around. By the way, the only thing you can do is move forward!Keep moving forward!Until the enemy is stabbed!

……………………………

Horse riding forward quickly, the human spirit is very easy to enter the state of excitement, especially these sturdy Celtic cavalry, they have already prepared to fight with the enemies who are about to rush to fight, but did not expect the enemy They turned around and ran away, so many people screamed that they urged the war horses again and again, vowing to catch up with these fearful enemies, cut them off under the horses, strip off their good-looking armor, take away their war horses, and cut them off Their heads hang on the horse.Even the mercenary cavalry running on the far left was crisscrossed with Crotone-Trina reinforcements, and a few over-excited alien cavalry came forward to attack and throw javelins, which were then rushed to the Dionysian light infantry repel.

The frontmost Celtic cavalry is getting closer and closer to the enemy, and many Celtics have pulled out their long swords.At this moment, the vaguely tidy shouts came from the dusty front, which surprised them with horror: There were enemies ambushing ahead?!

Just when they started to be a little suspicious, the enemy horse in front suddenly turned to the side, making some cavalry choose to continue to pursue, while others began to slow down the galloping horses.The cavalry in the rear was shrouded in the excitement of the companions and the sound of the "hooves" of horseshoes.

Tapirus, in the middle of the middle of the Spear phalanx, can already see the enemy ride ahead: some of them have their capes distributed, some of them wear pointed leather helmets, wear dark-colored striped cloths, wield big swords in their hands, and mouths With a strange cry of "Woo...", one by one drove the high-headed horses to come straight at them...

"Hadis bless!" Tapirus couldn't help praying to Pluto, causing the soldiers around to shout. Some soldiers even closed their eyes in fear, but their hands instinctively dragged the spear tighter. This is A weapon that can protect him and give him psychological comfort in this terrible, inescapable battlefield.

They are afraid, and the enemy is also afraid.

When it was found that the enemy was turning, some of the Celtic cavalry kept up in time, and some were still trying to slow down the horse speed. On the battlefield vacated in front of them, a shadowy "human wall" suddenly appeared in the diffuse dust and fog. War horses let them see quickly: that is not a "human wall", but a "spear wall"!

The long sharp spears stretched out towards them, which not only made them feel horrified, but the crotch horses kept screaming, but the inertia still caused the Celtics to lead the horses into collision...

Suddenly, people screamed, horses screamed, blood splattered, spears snapped...

For the spearmen, fortunately, the dense spear walls formed by the four-meter-long spears prevented the enemy riders from sprinting in front of the soldiers.Since I heard the cries of the spear brigade in advance, most of the Celtic cavalry had already consciously slowed down, and the length of the spear also allowed the cavalry to weaken the force transmitted to the soldier after the collision, so most of the front ranks The soldiers rely on the strength of the soldiers in the back to offset the impulse, and only a few stumble back with the soldiers in the rear.Therefore, each Celtic cavalry collided with the spear phalanx. Although it caused some chaos in the array, it did not break the formation.

Of course, if the successor cavalry continues to impact, Dionysia's spear phalanx will inevitably be broken through the gap and cause the soldiers to retreat.However, in this era, heavy cavalry who had not been specially trained to rush into the dense infantry squares were faced. Even the fierce Celtic cavalry dared to attack the side and rear of the infantry squares or rely on horsepower and speed to impact the loose. The light infantry team will not be stupid enough to take their lives to slam the front of the infantry phalanx, not to mention the dreaded lance phalanx in front of them, even if they dare to horse, unless the horse’s eyes Blindfold, otherwise it will jump and bark, throw the cavalry off, and then turn around and run away.

After the Celtics discovered the strange thing in front, the reins of the running horses hurriedly hurriedly tightened suddenly, making the horses feel extremely uncomfortable.Some of them fell into a frenzy and threw the owner off the horse; a small number of them fell forward due to the sudden pressure of the neck and lack of oxygen, and the rider was thrown to the approaching spear wall because of inertia, and the sharp spear tip pierced the body ...

The leader in the rear, Gaba and many Celtics, finally stopped the forward horses. At this moment, Gaba has no reason to be angry for the tragic death of his men. Looking at the dense spear wall approaching in front, he panicked. Shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!..."

He didn't need to shout at all. Every surviving Celtic cavalry hated the wings, and immediately flew away from the rapidly approaching terrorist spear phalanx.But just as they pulled their horses back, the second wave of offensive, the Numbian cavalry came, and found the Celtic cavalry who were turning their heads in the dust, and wanted to stop almost two thousand horses immediately. How easy is it to make war horses and make tactical moves to avoid them.

For a time, the cavalry exclaimed, the horses hissed, and the two sides collided together...

Some riders fell off their horses and had to get up in the future. They were trampled by countless horseshoes and died without fatal screams. Others even drove the horses to the front and rammed them directly. The advancing spear wall...

More than two thousand Numbian cavalry and Celtic cavalry stirred up, and the horses stopped as if they were stuck in the mud.Realizing that the dangerous riders wanted to immediately escape from this completely chaotic battlefield, but the cavalry entangled and squeezed each other. There was no room for the horse to start. Obviously, it was impossible to rectify the order in a short time. The cavalry retreated smoothly.
