Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"That's true, although His Majesty bears the name of the King, but he has always shared the same pains with us, so he will win our respect!" A captain said heartily.

"I said Kertisus, do you still need Patroclus to help! If you get promoted, you can go to Sicily, Mesapi, or Pucciti as the commander of the army a few years ago, do not have to dominate this The position of the first captain of the 1st Army Corps makes us unable to taste what this first captain is!" The other captain said half-jokingly and half-satisfiedly, and the other several shared the same feeling.

"I vacated the position of the commander of the legion to pass it to you. Isn't it true that I don't know good people!" Ketisus said pretending to be angry, turned his head and looked at Patroclus: "When you are holding the wedding, I must be invited to participate!"

"I will invite several older brothers to come to the wedding, and I will bring Cynthia to you toast!" Patroclus said flatteringly, but was unanimously thanked by several other captains.

In the large account of the Fourth Army, Olivers left the fourth captain Alendas alone after the deployment.

Alendas is Crotone.Since Crotone's voluntary merger into the Kingdom of Dionysia, Crotone has also become the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army Corps, and even the headquarters of the Fourth Army has moved from Asprostum to Crotone City. .Crotone’s citizens who have long received competitive training are worthy of being soldiers. Once they are familiar with Dionysia’s tactics, they begin to stand out, making the not-so-excellent Fourth Army a great deal of improvement. It also made many of the team members of the Fourth Army began to be Crotone.

"How did Adores perform in your brigade?" Olivers asked with a smile.

Alendas had long expected Olivers to keep himself, just to talk about "his", and immediately said: "Out of my expectations! To be honest, I thought he would be a trouble, but I didn't expect Not only did he have outstanding military skills and excellent performance, but he did not make himself look special at all. He was very able to unite his teammates. Other soldiers like to stay with him. He also told me through his team officer that he hopes to His team is in the first column of the battle..."

Oliver listened carefully to his speech and smiled with flowers on his face, as if Alendas praised his own child: "Adoris’ excellent performance in the military competitive examinations at Turri School every year is excellent, although his temper is somewhat Irritable, but with an atmosphere of personality, good friends, and strict requirements of His Majesty, he and his siblings are no different from other children at school, late, noisy, and fighting are subject to punishment by the teacher, Adolis is no lack in this regard been punished."

Oliver thought of the past, and his face was full of smiles: "His Majesty arranged for Adonis to be given special care, so he was placed in the Fourth Army, but—" Oliver's face became serious: " His Majesty may not care, but the swords and spears on the battlefield do not have long eyes, and we are not in charge. In case Adoris is injured or even died, His Majesty may not blame us, but the people of the whole kingdom will accuse our Fourth Army of incompetence, even Your majesty’s children can’t be protected! In this way, even if our fourth legion makes no more achievements, it will not be able to achieve the safety of Adolius, do you understand?"

"I see." Alendas said with a spirit, a tone of frustration still revealed in his tone.

"I understand that not only is Adolius, you also hope that your brigade can fight at the forefront of the formation, so I am a little dissatisfied with my deployment just now, right?" The savvy Olivers saw the thoughts of his subordinates , Reminded: "Idiot, look farther, you can also make a contribution behind the formation! Look at your position for your fourth brigade?!"

"In the left rear of the formation, next to the cavalry." Alendas blurted out.

"Yeah, next to the cavalry! Once our cavalry corps defeated the enemy cavalry, the third brigade in front of you resisted the frontal enemy, then your fourth brigade—" Olivers put his palm flat and made a turn Gesture.

"Flanking around..." Alendas' eyes brightened.

…………………………………

"...The great underworld ruler, the fair and strict adjudicator!

Hades, you are the king of the gods, the patron saint of the Kingdom of Dionysia!

In the light of your glory, the kingdom's people put on armor, picked up shield spears, and ran to the battlefield..."

Every time I sang the Hades carols made by the Temple of Hades specifically for the soldiers of the Legion, Adores had a sacred pride in his heart. After all, his father Davers was recognized as Hades. Descent.But today's situation is different from the past, because he stood in a tens of thousands of troops, and the grand singing brought him together with all the other soldiers.

Although the close comrades in front blocked his sight, he knew that there were tens of thousands of enemies on the other side of the river.For him, this was the first time he played, but he didn't have any fear in his heart, but because of his excitement, his body trembled slightly.

"Woo!...Woo!..." The sound of the bugle from the back made his blood more boiling, and then he saw all the front fingers of the flag.

"Go forward!" The team officer's voice sounded in his ear.

The huge army formation began to move forward slowly.

The drum sounds at the rear also sounded in time, and the slow drums were telling each soldier the pace of the pace.

Adolius followed the soldiers in front of him just into the Ovanto River, and the Dawn Archer on the opposite side began to shoot arrows.

"Lift the shield to defend!" the team officer shouted.

The soldiers had already erected their long shields.If it was an old-fashioned Greek armor more than ten years ago, legionnaires did not need to raise their shields to defend and have no fear of arrows, but now they are wearing open helmets without cheeks.

In the face of Dawn’s bow and arrow attack, the light infantry brigades of the Dionysian regiments were also colored on the river bank, and the ballistic artillery group placed in the rear also began to express their power. The Ovanto River hit the Downey's army formation, and for a time the people turned back and screamed again and again.

Looking up and watching the stone bullets passing by, he could hear the screams from the other side by his ears, and Adoris was more heated and bloody.

On their left, thousands of Dionysian cavalry led by Ledes, cross the river, screaming horses, splashing water, first rushed to the other side, fighting with the Danny cavalry.

Dawn infantry was already afraid of the ballistic artillery's blow, and driven by the generals, they hurried to the river bank, narrowing the distance to the Dionysians, so that the ballistic artillery did not dare to bombard it again because of the approach of the two armies. .

"Javelin!" The shouts of the team officers sounded in the formation.

Adores and his teammates quickly stopped and took a javelin from their backs, posed, and threw them out of their heads.It was too late to see the results of the battle, and it was impossible to see at all, immediately throwing another javelin.

At this time, he heard the team officer shouting: "Offense!"

Suddenly, a roar of shock broke out in the formation: "Hadis!!!!!!"

The array in front started to accelerate, but it did not jump forward as usual during training, because this is in the river, the bottom of the river is a bit slippery, and the feet are not very good.

Adoris they followed closely.

After only a while, the array in front suddenly stopped, and the shouts spread across the river.

Adoris knew that the two armies had begun a frontal confrontation. He subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand. Unfortunately, they were behind the formation, but they could not help a little at this time, even reaching the body of the comrade in front. The conventional phalanx tactics that push forward cannot be done, because this is in the river, it is not very good to control the body under the action of external force, and once someone slips, it may fall.The only thing they can do is to stand firm on the spot, and if they are repulsed by the enemy, they can stabilize the formation like a rock.

As the battle continued, Adolius and all his teammates began to show anxiety, and could only stay behind and could not participate in the fight, which made Adolius complain about the uncle Olivers many times in his heart.

The Dawns kept their feet on the bank of the river and used the soldiers of the Dionysian Legion in the river, unable to fully exert the power of the heavy infantry phalanx, and desperately suppressed the Dionysian legion in the river.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!..." At this moment, Adoris heard the sound of the bugle in the back, and he looked back in amazement, but he saw his company's flag pointed to the left.

"All the soldiers listen, turn left!" The captain's voice added to his doubts.However, the military order was like a mountain, not to mention the nearby teams all turned left.

The voices of the team officials sounded successively in the square of the fourth brigade, and the whole team began to move to the left.At the same time, a similar maneuver was also carried out at the rear of the right-wing square formation.Soon, the entire left column and the lower right corner of the huge array of Dionynia seemed to be cut off at the same time.

Although it was planned in advance, such elaborate troop movements can be carried out in combat, which shows the advantages of the Dionysian Corps organization system and the ability of low- and medium-level team officers.

When Adores and his teammates turned right again, his front was already open except for a few comrades.

Due to his military preference, Adorius not only received many years of military training, but also dared from home to ask military questions from his adoptive father who has a brilliant record. At this moment, he has understood the purpose of this force mobilization and can't help but eager to try.

"Speed ​​up!" The command of the team officers made the young soldiers who had been suffocating for a long time shouted excitedly and swooped forward.

Alexis's seemingly medium-range array showed fangs at this moment. He took advantage of the flexibility of the Dionysian Legion and the strength of the soldiers, and halfway through the battle, he came out from the two wings to Dawn. People flanked around.
