Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Finally, the sound of the retreating bugle came.

The soldiers on the right end of the right wing of Syracuse, who are resisting the spear brigade and the Kurt reinforcements, are forgiven. They turned and fled. The original thick array collapsed in the moment. Vent to the outside...

After seeing the soldiers running beside him, Fibidas did not panic. He threw the spear at his enemy at the first time, then smashed the round shield towards the opponent, forced a little space, and immediately turned to escape At the same time, throw away the helmet.Although he had suffered many battle defeats before, Fibidas was still frustrated by the defeat of the battle on the way to escape quickly...

"Your Majesty, the enemy retreated! We won! We won this battle! Dionia won!" Tolmed looked at the soldiers in the middle of Syracuse in front of the tide, excited.

Daveus listened to the cheers of the guards beside him, and finally showed his smile on his face: "Order the troops to pursue the enemy with all their strength and strength!"

"Yes!" Tolmed responded loudly.

"Your Majesty—" A shout came from behind, and Davos looked back to see Rodome's face excited, immediately understood his thoughts, and laughed: "The guard can also participate in the pursuit."

There was a cheer immediately around him, and only a small number of guards, such as Maltius, were unmoved, still standing beside Davers.

……………………………

"Lord Axirita, Lord Dionysius ordered you to lead your men and kill me with me again!" Astagras finally found Axirita who had fled to the east bank of the Tachinadi River .

Axi Rita's face was covered with shaggy hair and he was sloppy. He pushed away and said: "My men are all scattered, it is difficult to gather them in a short time."

"Axirita." Astarage sneered: "You are a wise man. If our Syracuse was defeated this time, with the things you have done in the land of Dionyssia, you Do you think the Dionysians can spare you interracial people! But there is a Mediterranean between Great Greece and Numbia, you can return to Numbia by horse?!"

Axi Rita's face changed a lot, he just fled, and didn't think about it for a while.

At this time, the men exclaimed: "Boss, the enemy is back!"

Axi Rita has made a decision in his mind at this moment: "General Astagras, we will repel these cavalrymen first."

Astakras was pleased to see the change in the attitude of Axirita, and immediately led more than 300 cavalry units to join the more than two hundred riders left by Axirita to meet the enemy.

At this moment, the sound of "rumbling" came from the front left, and Astaglas and Axiritha subconsciously looked to the north, and the increasing noise made them feel uneasy.

Soon, when countless Syracuse soldiers came to them like a tide, everyone changed their colors.

"Quick withdrawal!" Axi Rita quickly turned the horse's head, hurriedly fled with the Numisbian cavalry, and many Sicilian cavalry followed.

Are we defeated?!...Astagras couldn't believe this fact, the Dionian cavalry chased in a trance stabbed under the horse...

"Dionia wins! We win! Crotone wins!!!!!" Lucias sent the spies all the way and rushed to the ruins of Crotone's north gate, excited and incoherent. Shouted loudly.

The people of Crotone watching the battle in the city have already cried.Although it is far from the battlefield, it can't be seen as real, but all the soldiers are running south, is it possible that Syracuse won the victory!At this time, countless people shed tears of excitement: Crotone was finally saved!!!

Lucias had been nervously standing in front of the battlement to pay attention to the battle. After feeling relaxed, he found that his legs were sore that he could not stand. He sat on the aisle but faced with rubble and eyes In the urban area of ​​Cangyi, the ecstasy of death is suddenly turned into deep sorrow: Although the people of Crotone are saved, the city of Crotone has ceased to exist...

…………………………………

When deciding to retreat, Dionysius also planned to prepare the garrison guards to respond, and blocked the chasing behind, so that the fleeing Syracuse soldiers could enter the camp smoothly.Facts have proved that this cannot be achieved at all.

Because the movement of the defenders of the large camp made the Dionysian forces of Asprostum, who closely followed the movement of the camp, discover.At the same time, the news of the "Victory of the Dionysian Battle" brought by the mountain reconnaissance team made Agacia excited. Although he was a chief executive, he was also a mercenary and had rich combat experience. He took action decisively. He personally led 3,000 defenders out of the nest and attacked the Siracusa camp that blocked the southern road of Asprostum.

The Syracuse garrison was disturbed by the news of the failure of the battle, and was sent out of the battalion. In the face of the fully attacked Asprostum army, there was still a mental battle, and it barely resisted for a while. Easily let the excited Dionysian soldiers into the camp.

Dionysius also wanted to reorganize the army on the run, but the Dionysian army that was so hotly pursued made his efforts in vain. The servants he sent were either ensnared or defeated by the defeated soldiers. snatch.

Sixty or seventy thousand people kept pouring into the Tachnadi River, and the entire river was almost cut off. The slippery mud and the subsequent pursuit of the Dionysian soldiers made the frightened Syracuse soldiers cross the river. Leave a floating body.

The defenders in the camp were frightened by the rushing troops, and there was an idea of ​​how to respond. They took the lead in turning around and escaping.

The violent surge of soldiers crushed the narrow camp gate, and some of the soldiers simply pushed down the wooden fence and poured into the camp.However, the chasers also entered the camp.

At the same time, the shouting of the Dionysian soldiers also sounded from the north of the big camp, which was the Asprostum army who rushed into the camp to pursue the defeated defenders.

The soldiers of Syracuse were afraid of being cut off and would dare to stay more in the camp, so they continued to flee south...

"General Sylos, the Syracuse people have been defeated by us! They are fleeing to Silitin! They have too many people!..." The scout came galloping, excited and nervous.

At this time, Hilos had led his team across the Tachnadi River and entered the Silitian territory, marching northeast, preparing to reach the camp of Syracuse.

Receiving the return of Scout Riding, Hilos immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy. He immediately asked, "How far are the Syracuse people from us?"

"When I came back, they had run into the'corridor'."

Silos served as the chief executive of Asprostum.During his tenure, he has surveyed the terrain of this area many times, and he is relatively familiar with it. Of course, he knows that the "corridor" that Scouting said actually refers to the Croton Southern Plains and the Siriting Territory on the west bank of the Tachinadi The coastline between this narrow strip of land is bounded by mountains on the north and the ocean on the south.This seaside corridor is about 36 miles long, with the narrowest width being ten miles, and its own army is at least 15 miles away from entering this corridor. It seems that before Siracusa broke out of the corridor, it rushed there and stopped They are not difficult.But know that your army is walking on the rolling hills, and the Syracuse people are running on the flat sea, not to mention that they are soldiers, their speed is quite fast.

After thinking a little, Silos immediately ordered: "The whole army marches in a hurry, let me run!"

This run made the soldiers squawk, knowing that at least half of the Dionysian-Trina Allied Forces are heavy infantry.Fortunately, after several years of training, these soldiers from Bruti have developed the habit of observing discipline and strictly executing orders, and the Trina are supporting them with the flame of revenge.More importantly, the news of "Victory of the Dionysian Battle" gave them great encouragement.

When they arrived in the corridor, the stretched length between the head and the tail was four or five miles. Many soldiers sat directly on the ground, gasping for breath, and sweating, they shouted to drink.In the next half hour, the equally exhausted Silos tried hard to reorganize the team, while trying his best to let the soldiers arrive to rest well and recover some energy as soon as possible.

Most of the soldiers have arrived, but there are still soldiers who have fallen behind, one after another.

But at this moment, the reconnaissance horse reported that the collapse of Syracuse was only two miles from the troops.

Reasonable Silos did not allow the soldiers with limited physical strength to intercept the defeated soldiers. He knew that the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers who wanted to escape back to the Silitin would not only be blocked by his thousands of people, but also likely to make these tired. The inexperienced soldiers were caught in the torrent of escape.

So he immediately let the troops back against the mountains and arrayed diagonally to the coast, leaving the defeated soldiers with a gap of a few miles long enough for them to pass, so that even if their attack was fierce, the Syracuse people would not escape. There is too much resistance.

…………………………………

Dionysia's pursuit continued until dusk before the trumpet of the troop was sounded.

According to post-war statistics, in this battle that determined the fate of Great Greece, Syracuse was injured or injured by nearly 20,000 people, most of them were injured or killed during their escape, and more than 10,000 people were captured, which is more It was Hilos’s credit. He first let the soldiers continue to kill the broken soldiers who fled on the edge of the "Coastal Corridor", and then decisively ordered an attack, immediately intercepting the tail of the broken soldiers. In the end, Syracuse soldiers had 3 More than 10,000 people fled into the Siliting.

The Dionysia side had nearly 7,000 casualties, especially the Kurt’s reinforcements, which suffered the most casualties and almost lost half.The second is the Lance Brigade and the Cavalry Corps. As the key to reversing the battle in the entire battle, they also paid a price of more than 2,000 people.

The result of the battle: Dionia defeated 65,500 soldiers in Syracuse with 58,000 people, and finally won a big victory.
