Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 696 Dionys vs. Rome (10)

It didn’t take long for the soldiers under him to be mostly dead and wounded, making the rear team where Camus was in front, but when he looked at the enemy opposite him, he was stunned. He was suddenly thrown with a spear. The team captain of the white hat.

At this moment, the enemy's breastplate on the right shoulder had a large hole in it, and he was still bleeding. He hung his right hand down, his left hand holding a shield, and glared at Camus.

Without a spear, Camus pulled out his saber at the waist to fight. The one-meter-long sword is good for slashing, but the narrow space and the long shield of the opponent's good defense are not conducive to the power of his saber. He took advantage of the power gap and kept hitting the other party's long shield.

The enemies who had been seriously wounded obviously could not bear such a force blow, and the expression of pain on his face finally fell to his knees because he couldn't support it.

Camus stepped forward again, condescending, slashing with a sword, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left leg, only to see a short sword was stabbing him in the calf.

It turned out that although the enemy was seriously injured in the right shoulder, the dagger was still held in the right hand, but it was hidden behind the shield, pretending to be unable to hold the weapon, and taking advantage of Camus' relaxation of vigilance, he succeeded.Then he pulled out violently, and the sharp blade immediately cut the tendon.

Camus screamed, his leaning body was unstable, and the whole person fell forward, overwhelming the enemy with a shield.

The enemy also grinned, but the short sword in his right hand was still waving, severing the ankle of the teammate who was advancing on the side of Camus until the soldier behind Camus pierced the enemy's chest with a spear. Spouting blood on the mouth, screaming "Hades", and died with a relieved expression...

……………………………………

Although the third brigade of the First Corps fought bravely, the number of Roman youth soldiers in front of it was more than double its number. Under their crazy attack, the array of the third brigade had many gaps, and the light armoured soldiers in the rear did not Hesitate to make up in time, bravely resist the attack of the Roman heavy infantry with heavy helmets and heavy armor...

The battle has been fierce, and the detective ride is constantly sending messages back and forth.

"Report the head of the army, the second company captain of the fourth brigade is injured!"

"Report the commander of the army, the captain of the third company of the first brigade is dead!"

"Report, the first company captain of the third brigade was injured! ... The third company captain died in battle! ... The fifth company captain died in battle! ..."

According to the practice of the Dionysian Corps, the company captain rarely seldom went to fight in person, but the captain of the company did so in person, only to show that the company’s soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Listening to the return of the scouts one by one, Amintas's face was as horrible as a clouded sky.

At this time, another reconnaissance ride came by: "Reporting the commander of the army, the commander of the third squadron, Het Barrus, asked you for reinforcements! The third squadron suffered heavy casualties, and the captain has personally entered the battle!"

"You go back and tell Hait Barrus, I don't have any reinforcements, and I don't want to hear him say the number of casualties, but he must give me the top there, to block the attack of the Romans! He died, and I went on! "Amintas tie Qingqing face, shouted sharply.

The scout rides away.

Amintas glanced at the guard behind him and said aloud, "We are going to the rear of the eighth brigade!"

Amintas spoke with a force, and Prentals opened his mouth, trying to persuade, and finally gave up.

At this time, Ledes said: "I sent the cavalry to attack the enemy and relieve the pressure of the third brigade."

Amintas glanced at him, but this time he didn't refuse and nodded.

…………………………………

Of course, the movement of the Dionysian cavalry can’t hide the eyes of the Roman scout. Now the right flank of the Dionysian wing is the area where the Romans attacked the fastest. Where can the Dionysian cavalry go? .

Camillus immediately said to Lucius: "You immediately lead all the cavalry and three heavy infantry squadrons to the right wing of the enemy. After repelling the enemy cavalry, they lead them to continue to strengthen the attack on the enemy's flanks! Complete defeat enemy!"

Lucius hesitated: "But your father is safe--"

"The more violent your offense, the safer I will be! Go! Go!" Camucci urged, Lucius to lead his troops away.

There are only more than 1,400 light infantry left by this old military officer. He recruited several allied generals and said sincerely: "Then my old man's life will be given to you."

Camillus was not only prestigious in Rome, he was also well-known throughout the Latin League. People respected him very much, because it was he who led the army to repel the Celtics that ravaged the Latinum region.

Several generals of the Roman Confederacy immediately promised: "Master Camillus, you can rest assured that the enemy wants to hurt you unless we pass over our body!"

As soon as they returned, they hadn't set up their defenses yet, and the lead shot of Dionysian's trooper was smashed.

After seeing the cavalry and heavy infantry behind the enemy leaving, the seventh brigade of the First Army began to attack the position where the Roman flag was erected, attempting to capture the commander of the opponent and reverse the situation in one fell swoop.

…………………………………

The front and flanks of the two sides are heavy infantry and light armor fighting, and there are cavalry and light infantry fighting on the periphery... Rome and the Dionysian army fully engaged.

After the battle lasted for nearly two hours, it has entered the final contest.

The Romans have taken a clear upper hand, and Dionysia’s entire front has been compressed into a semi-circle, especially the right-most defense line is crumbling. If it is not the head of the legion, Amintas personally raised his shield and held a gun to fight. The enemies and legionary flags were erected behind them. The third brigade and the light armoured soldiers might have retreated, but now they are just trying their last breath and trying to support them.

Lydes’s 1st Cavalry Corps is also struggling to block the reinforcements of enemy cavalry and heavy infantry.

Although the Roman cavalry were heroic, they were few in number and weak in lethality.But their heavy infantry caused the Dionysian cavalry to pay a lot of casualties.

Although Lydes was heartbroken, he knew that the 1st Cavalry Corps could not avoid, otherwise, although these new troops were not many, but with their participation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as Ledes was so anxious that it was difficult to stop the Roman heavy infantry, a cavalry yelled, "Legion, look!"

In the thick dust, Ledes turned his head to look south, and saw a large black shadow in the distance, and was approaching here quickly.

Walseys!Ledston was energized and shouted: "Brothers, hold on for a while! Our reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are coming!!"

…………………………………

The first to arrive on the battlefield was the more than a thousand Walsey fighters led by Corumnas, the incumbent of Antium City, followed by the 1,000 Walsey fighters of Setia.The Antium warriors departing from Peleforham actually arrived earlier than the Walsey warriors departing from Setia, showing how strong their desire to avenge the Romans.

They rushed to the battlefield, almost without stopping, and launched a fierce attack on the red Roman soldiers.

The Roman cavalry was first defeated.

Then, the three Roman heavy infantry squadrons that were being blocked by the Dionysian cavalry were also hit. As they turned around to resist, the soldiers of Setia arrived immediately and surrounded them.

The equipment of the Roman heavy infantry was not comparable to that of the Walsey warriors with only spears, shields, helmets, and no breastplate, but their number was too small, and they fought so long with the Dionysians. Very huge, so it was quickly overwhelmed by the crowds of Walsey.

Just as the Walsey forces rushed to the battlefield, the forward Antium fighters and Setia fighters continued to rush to the Roman young soldiers who were fighting with the Dionysian third brigade and the light armor, the rear of the Roman army rang Hastily withdrawn the bugle...

………………………………………

When Antioum’s soldiers attacked the three Roman squadrons, Camulus received an emergency report from Scout Rider. The news that “a large number of Walsey fighters appeared on the battlefield” made him suffer a heavy blow only a moment later. Take it easy.

At this time, he regretted and intertwined with self-blame. He thought that relying on the army has many soldiers and good physical strength, he wanted to defeat the Dionysians first, and then retreat. This is the safest, but he did not expect the Dionysians to be so. Tough!The battle continued for so long, instead of repelling the Dionysians, the Walsisis were ushered in...

"Blow the retreat bugle!" Camulus suppressed the remorse in his heart, and immediately issued an order without hesitation.

"Camilus military and political officer, wait a second! We will defeat the Dionysians right away!" the adjutant hurriedly persuaded: "Walsey talent has just arrived, maybe they are not many people, we Soldiers are able to block them—"

"The trumpet retreat!" Camillus said loudly and firmly: "Quick trumpet retreat!"

Camulus, who has stood the battlefield for a long time, has never had a chance of getting lucky in the war. If he is defeated, he must try to save the lives of the soldiers as much as possible.

The retreating bugle sounded continuously, and the first reaction of all the Roman squadron leaders who heard the trumpet felt a little unbelievable, because the situation they saw was that the troops under their command were now in the upper hand, and some squadron leaders It has been felt that the enemies on the opposite side are difficult to support, but out of absolute trust in the commander Camulus, they have issued orders to their soldiers to retreat.

The old and middle-aged soldiers in the frontal attack array on the left, center, and right soon began to retreat, distanced from the enemy, and then quickly and orderly turned to retreat.

Patro Ross, who had already picked up the shield spear and fought side by side with the soldiers, of course knew what the ultimate purpose of the army commander Amintas was to get them here quickly from the place where the camp was built, so the enemies in front of him suddenly retreated so that His team's defensive pressure suddenly eased, and he took a breath and realized immediately that the enemy was about to escape!Did the Walseys come?!
