Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

But the spear phalanx of Dionysia is approaching, and the Celtics at the forefront are directly facing the terrible spear wall threat.They were already very angry because they were hit by the Numisbians before.Now, in order to escape, some of their fierce warriors simply brandished their swords and slayed killers at the Numisbians who were blocking them.This aroused the anger and resistance of the Numisbians and delayed the escape of the entire cavalry group.

The leaders and team officers of Axirita and Gaba shouted loudly, and even blew the trumpet of retreat, but for the battlefield that was already dusty, noisy, chaotic and anomalous for a few miles, their Efforts can only be in vain...

…………………………………

When the huge figure of the Celtic cavalry company with horses hit Tapirus and they hit Tapirus, Tapirus couldn't help but tighten his body, closed his eyes, and subconsciously clamped the spear, ready to withstand the impact of great force .

He only heard the horse's miserable hiss, and a strong force was transmitted to the gun barrel, making him almost unable to hold it tightly.The soldiers in the first few columns also hit him at the same time, pushing him back.

"Hold on, brothers! Hold on!..." The soldiers behind tried hard to resist his body, giving him strength while also cheering them up loudly.

The 15-row pike phalanx combined with the light armoured soldiers at the back of it, the thickness of nearly 20 rows gave Tapirus their sufficient strength to support them, so that they could stabilize their figure.

Tapirus opened his eyes and saw that the warhorse landed on the back of the horse and raised its front hoof. Eight or nine spears hit his neck and chest at the same time. He put it in the air, but he was not dead yet. The wailing stopped.Immediately, the enemy has been penetrated by two spears to the left and right chests, lying on the ground, already dead.Horse blood and human blood flow down the gun barrel...

The soldiers pulled out their spears with difficulty.

Tapirus was surprised to find that although the enemy ride was on the verge, the soldiers did not show major casualties, and the formation remained relatively complete, with only a few soldiers breaking their spears.After this cavalry impact, the enemy did not dare to continue the impact, but instead stopped the horses in a hurry, panic wanted to escape, their front was a messy scene...

Tapirus and the other soldiers let go of their suspended hearts, and the cowardice of the enemy also boosted their courage.

"Brothers, move on!" Tapirus shouted, and the soldiers responded with a roar.

They stepped over the corpse of the enemy, bypassed the dying horse, and moved on.

Capps behind the phalanx was pleasantly surprised to see that the entire phalanx successfully blocked the advance of a large number of enemy cavalry, and the enemies in chaos also made him realize that the opportunity was not lost, and he never lost it, so he decisively ordered: " charge!"

Yes, the soldiers of the Lance Brigade will not only steadily move forward, but they can charge like heavy infantry without wearing any armor. This tactic is the key training these days.

The rapid and continuous sounding of the bugle lifted the soldiers' spirits.

"Attention! It's time to charge!!" Tapirus hissed loudly.

The company's soldiers no longer attached so tightly, but pulled apart some of their spacing. There were still small steps at the foot, but the pace was gradually accelerating...

The speed of advance of the phalanx accelerated, the enemy riders were stabbed off one by one, screaming one after another.

At the same time, the entire phalanx became discontinued, and a lot of gaps appeared, but the light armoured soldiers poured into the array along the gap, cooperated with the length of the spearmen, and killed the sitting and immobile enemy.

During the previous turn of the enticing Dionysian cavalry, a small number of cavalry accidentally hit the spear phalanx due to tension. Some cavalry at the tail of the queue were wounded and killed by the chasing Celtic cavalry... After the casualties, they withdrew smoothly from both sides.And while the Spear Phalanx sounded the charge, the Dionysian cavalry after the rapid reorganization immediately returned from both sides and killed them. They bravely blocked the passages on both sides.

"Revenge for Sorboks!!" Lades screamed loudly and gave the order to attack.

The infantry has the unyielding hero Drakos, and the cavalry also has the dead hero Sauberkes.At this time, the Dionysian cavalry held the humiliation of the cavalry hired by Syracuse before the fiasco, and tried to fight the enemy regardless of life and death.

On the battlefield where the horses cannot run, the gap in riding is not visible, and it is not useful. This makes the Dionysian cavalry compete with the Celtics and Numisbians on both sides. It also makes Enemies were unable to escape the battlefield from both sides smoothly, resulting in the compression of the central battlefield area and the inability to evacuate from the rear for a while, thus creating conditions for the spearmen and light armourers to annihilate the enemy.

………………………

"Your Majesty, the spear brigade blocked the impact of the enemy cavalry, and is now fighting back!" After hearing Tormide's excited report, Dave's uneasy heart settled down, but his expression remained dignified: "Now look at the first , The Second Legion and Milon!"

………………………

Fibidas, who was in the formation, did not know the situation of his own cavalry. He is now focusing on leading the right wing of Syracuse. At the same time, he is paying attention to the entire right wing array line, as he expected. , The entire array gradually tilted to the left.

The infantry tactics that Spartans are best at are "left-handed tactics."During the battle, the Spartans used the heavy infantry's left hand to hold the shield, the body leaned to the right, and the array gradually shifted to the left. During the battle, the rightmost soldier was accelerated. After reaching the enemy formation, the right wing naturally turned left. In order to directly attack the side of the enemy’s left wing, the untrained enemy is the first to be defeated when the wing is attacked violently.Most of the time, the other two roads have not been in direct contact, and the battle is over.

At such an important moment of the General Assembly battle, Fibidas, who was also nervous, chose the tactics he was most familiar with.Although the Syracuse army could not achieve a uniform and left-handed attack like the Spartan soldiers who had been trained together since childhood, the Syracuse army also has advantages that the Spartan army does not have. There are a large number of infantry and cavalry, and they have more soldiers than Dionysians, and they have more cavalry than Dionysians.After a rough understanding of Dionysia's formation, Fibidas discovered with delight that he could gather heavy soldiers on the right wing and take the lead in defeating the enemy's left wing, laying the foundation for the victory of the entire battle!

Since the left end of the right wing is connected to the middle road when starting to travel (the cavalry connected to the right end has already rushed to the front), according to the previous habits, the instinct in the speed of progress is slower than the soldiers without friendly forces other than the right side, plus The characteristic of heavy right-handed inclination during heavy infantry marching. After the two-mile-long Syracuse right wing has advanced for a while, the entire array has a clear tilt.

In this regard, Phibidas rejoices in his heart, happy to see its success.He calculated that when in contact with Dionia's left wing, the inclined array should be able to cut the enemy's flanks.By that time, the cavalry should have solved the Dionysian cavalry, and then attacked the rear of their left wing. Dionysian left wing was attacked by three sides. Even if the heavy infantry is strong, I am afraid it can’t resist it!

Fibidas could find the anomaly of the array, and the experienced combat officers of the first and second legions of Dionysian also could be noticed. The two heads of the legions who were constantly reported were immediately aware of the situation. Something is wrong, and the two armies are now less than 400 meters apart.

Antonius immediately dispatched heralds to Amintas, Milon and Cipros on both sides of his proposal: immediately stop advancing and reorganize the array in response to the enemy in the face.

Soon, the second legion chief Amintas agreed.

Antonios could not wait for the responses of Milon and Cipros, who were still hesitating, and decisively sounded the horn of "stop moving", and then the Second Army also issued the same order.

The First and Second Legions are worthy of being the earliest established Dionysian Corps with the most veterans and the strongest combat effectiveness. The strongest combat effectiveness also means the strongest ability to execute orders.

The bugle sounded, the flag was waving, and the team officers and soldiers stopped moving forward despite their doubts.

The two Dionysian regiments stopped advancing and left the leftmost Crotone-Trina reinforcements at a loss. Milon and Cipros, who were still hesitant, had to order immediately: stop advancing!

Their city-state civic soldiers did not have systematic military training and complicated military regulations and systems like Dionysia, and they did not even have a "stop moving" horn. They could only send many commanders before and after the formation. The command was communicated aloud, so the entire array appeared a bit disorganized.Fortunately, they were connected to the First Army, and the First Army was not moving, which naturally affected the neighboring Kurt reinforcements who hurriedly stopped.

At this time, the first and second legions had begun to turn around the entire array unhurriedly, and the Ket’s coalition forces could only follow suit, which made it difficult.Because the Dionysian army is based on a checkerboard array with a small square array of companies, it has strong flexibility, plus powerful team officers and rigorously trained soldiers, so the queue is very smooth. Throw it over and let the front of the formation face the enemy again.The Ket’s coalition’s array is a whole dense array, about half a mile long and 15 columns thick. The soldiers are heavy helmets and heavy armor. The thick and closed Collins helmet is a little difficult to receive voice commands. It is not easy to make an in-situ turn during the usual training, not to mention that this is a battlefield that is killing the sky, facing the rapidly approaching enemy army, the Kurt reinforcements want to complete such a more complicated tactical maneuver It's even more difficult.
