Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Several trumpeters around Segowani continued to sound the retreat horn.

At the same time, Segowani, who was at the head of the team, led the tribal fighters beside him to speed up.

Seeing the Cautini people in front no longer care about their threats, they just run forward, and the Dionysian cavalry turned to the other without hesitation, throwing their javelins in Mercedes.

The javelin flew into the dense team and immediately fell.

The attacked Cavutini fighters also angrily turned javelins on the Dionysian cavalry who turned away.

The screams and horse hissing sounded uninterrupted in the teams of both sides, and at the same time were mixed with the exclaimations of the Cavutini fighters from everywhere: "Cavalry! Cavalry!!!..."

A team of Dionyan cavalry and Campania cavalry came constantly from the rear, circling around this huge team of Kautini, stirring up the dust.They constantly approached the enemy, throwing javelins to kill the other party and interfere with the other party's advancement.Even when they saw the formation of the Kautini who fell behind the team, they directly drove the horse to disperse it, like a cunning wolf eating giant monsters, constantly adding pressure and adding wounds to it. Let it panic...

After the Dionysian Cavalry was defeated by Numisbian cavalry and Celtic cavalry more than a decade ago, the head of the cavalry regiment, Lades, devised a more rigorous and meticulous training plan and selected better The rider entered the army, and after more than ten years of unremitting training and tactical improvement, the current Dionysian cavalry has greatly improved compared with the original.

Segowani looked at the enemy cavalry squad in front of him in pain. While defending with a shield and throwing a javelin, he kept yelling at the soldiers around him: "... don't stop! Keep going! Keep going!……"

In his heart, he really wanted to order the team to stop, set the posture, and give a good lesson to these annoying enemy rides. He believed that the bravery and huge number of Cavutini warriors could make the opponent return.However, the increasing number of enemy cavalry also means that his team has become the target of the opponent's focus, once the opponent's infantry arrives...

When Segowani was anxious, he suddenly saw a team of heavy infantrymen with black helmets and black armor in the dust that was entangled by the enemy riding in front of him.

……………………………

Taglu, he was a reserve soldier of the Third Army more than ten years ago. As a temporary chief guarding the Lahe Fortress, he led the soldiers to successfully block the rebellious Laotian attack, not only after the war The merits were generously praised by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and he was successfully transferred to the Third Army.After more than ten years, he is now the captain of the fourth brigade of the Third Army.

In this assault on the Kautinis, Tagu’s fourth brigade was responsible for the area south of Cesarah and Lola.

He first led two units to defeat an enemy with the assistance of cavalry, and then led them to cooperate with the other two units, hit another enemy with a large number, and successfully defeated them.However, in the process of interrogating the captives, Tagru knew that the team from Sassella had looted a village and looted some Greek people and was already on the way to Cesara.

Taglu immediately led the team to chase, and finally intercepted the opponent before he reached Sassella.As a result, on the way back, he encountered a reconnaissance ride that was looking for them. Taglu then led the troops to rush to Atla because its position was already north of Atla at this time. .

When Segowani saw the Dionysian heavy infantry ahead, Taglu also saw the oncoming, scattered formation of the cautini army and galloping around it Dionysian cavalry.

The energetic position of the enemy reminded him of the situation where the Laos attacked the Lahe Fortress more than ten years ago. That was because there were only a few people around him, but he had a solid city defense as a barrier, and today he does not have a city wall as a Protect, but he firmly believes that as long as he is here to block the enemy for a moment, his comrades-in-arms will arrive one after another and wipe out this large number of enemies.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and felt his courage strengthened a bit, and the slow walk before this alleviated the fatigue when they chased before.

He looked around the soldiers around him, and the soldiers around him also looked at him with some nervousness and some excitement. They were waiting for the chief to make a final decision, and then they would execute firmly.

So Taglu shouted without hesitation: "Brothers, the enemies our legion is about to annihilate are ahead! We must stop these enemies here, otherwise they will flee into the mountains and let our legion’s siege plan fall through, This is a great opportunity given by Hades to us! Brothers, show your courage to win this rare glory!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!..." The soldiers used powerful roars to show their determination.

Taglu immediately issued an order: "Each unit lined up in a line, forming a shield and blocking the enemy!"

There are only four teams beside Taguro, less than 200 people. In order to ensure the length of the array, he can stop enough enemies and stretch the front, but its depth is only five columns, which is too thin and easy to be broken.

But the soldiers of his team quickly split into four small squares without hesitation, and then formed a row. They even threw out the javelins and the javelins in their backs, and each held a long shield and drew their daggers. , Slowly marching towards the enemy.

Segowani and the other Cavutini fighters were frightened to see that so few enemies in front dared to pose their actions to stop them.

"Rush up and crush them!" Segowani pointed his spear forward and shouted loudly.

The fighters of Kautini roared and increased their running speed again.

Taglu saw that a large number of enemies were rushing towards them with great force, and he was not surprised, but he was most afraid that the enemy would bypass them and let his attempt fall through.

The soldiers immediately stopped advancing.

"Shield Array!..." the captains of each team shouted one after another.

The first soldier put the long shield up, and the bottom of the shield was slightly pointed, which could be slightly inserted into the ground to strengthen the defense of the shield. The rear soldier put the long shield over the head and put it on the first soldier's shield to form a piece.

The Samonais are good at throwing javelins, and they know this very well.

Sure enough, the shields of the Dionysian soldiers had just been completed. The javelins of the Kautini were shot like raindrops. Some soldiers were stabbed in the arm by the point of the gun through the shield and could not help but scream. .

While holding his shield, Taglu shouted, "Hold on! Hold on!..."

After the javelin rain, Cavutini's soldiers roared, rushed out of the diffuse dust, and violently slammed into Dionysian's formation, and in an instant it would be almost a straight shield.

Dionysian soldiers marched forward and back and forth, using all their strength to resist the impact of hundreds of people.

The soldiers in the first column lay halfway down, buried their heads under a long shield, half-turned, against their shields with their shoulders, and allowed the shields to be slammed by the enemy with their spears and spears. The gap between the shield and the shield pierced, and I did not know whether it hurt the enemy, because the sound of fighting completely occupied the eardrum, and no screaming could be heard.

Only some impetuous Kautini warriors could not break the long shield like a turtle shell at once. In anxiety, they threw away their weapons and directly grasped the top of the shield with both hands, trying to break it apart.

At this time, the sharp daggers crossed, cutting their fingers, and blood splattered the soldiers.

The Kautinis in the back bypassed the front of the shield and attacked the flanks and rear of the shield. They immediately surrounded Dionysian soldiers.

The soldiers put up long shields to cover the entire array completely.This Dionysian company is like a small boat in a raging wind, and there is a danger of overturning at any time.

The outlying Dionysian cavalry also realized this. They risked being stabbed by javelins and launched more frequent attacks on the Cautini people in an attempt to help their comrades reduce pressure.

But this only angered the Cautini more. Under their violent impact, the shield formation could not last long before it became fragmented.

Tagru watched that the soldiers beside him were crushed and stabbed, and he was anxious in his heart. He quickly stabbed the short sword in his hand, trying to pierce the enemy squeezed into the formation and protect his safety.

Unexpectedly, the Cavutini warrior who had been pierced in the chest not only did not fall, but struggled forward, and the unavoidable Taglu fell to the ground.

More enemies rushed into the battle.

Taglu, who was crushed on the ground, despaired that the soldiers who had lost the protection of the line were surrounded by more and more enemies, one by one, and then fell one after another...

At this extremely critical time, the high-pitched trumpet sound cut through the boiling battlefield...

Lizaru led 2500 reinforcements from the west, rushed to the battlefield first, and directly attacked the rear of the Cavutini team.

Before long, the first brigade of the Third Army arrived from the northwest...

Then there are the other companies of the fourth team...

Then the second team...

"Woo!...Woo!...Woo!..." The trumpet sounded continuously around the team of Kautini, attacking the Kaoutini from all directions.

The Cautini, who had been scattered in formation, were beaten. They only felt that they were surrounded by enemies, and they were very panicked. Where did they take care of the dying Dionysian company that had been beaten by them? .

But how could their legs run after the cavalry.

The battle soon ended. Except for the very few Kautini who fled into the city of Sassella, the vast majority of Kaoutini fighters were either killed or captured.
