Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The bugle sounded.

"Barr Harmon blessed!!" The soldiers shouted the name of Carthage's protector.

This elite army of Carthage, known as the "Barr's Hammer", straddled the Pletara River in a dense formation, and was aggressively killing the Greeks on the other side...

………………………………………

"What do you say?! The army of the Holy Order has engaged the Greeks?!" Monte Adnor was taken aback, he immediately took the case, said angrily: "This Millefio, do not obey my orders! I'm early I told him not to fight the Greeks at this time!..."

"Master, this battle was initiated by the Greeks. At that time, General Millefio was still in your big account. When he arrived at the Pletara River, the battle had expanded..." Argued.

"I don't care what the situation is now, you rushed to tell him immediately, let him withdraw the troops immediately!" Monte Adnor said sharply.

"I can't convince him!" The messenger dare to speak to a commander of the army of Carthage in this way because he was a cousin of Millefio and was also born in the famous family of Carthage.

With a sigh of relief, Monte Adnor decided to call Millefio himself, but before leaving, he still carefully sent people to notify other generals, recruited the soldiers back to the camp, gathered together, and waited for the order.

On the way to the upper reaches of the Lower River of Pletara, Monte Adno had heard a loud shouting.

When he arrived at his destination, he stood on the west bank and looked east. I saw that the troops of the regiment had all rushed across the east bank, and the speed of advancing was gradually accelerating.After all, after discovering the attempts of the Carthaginians to attack, the Greeks hurriedly assembled soldiers and organized a force in an attempt to block the Carthaginians' attacks, but they lacked a unified command and the soldiers came from different city states There is also a lack of tacit cooperation, and the number of people is also less than the other party, so under the assault of the soldiers of the Holy Order, they can't resist it gradually.

Just as Monte Adnor hesitated "whether or not to recall the Holy Corps forces under such a favorable fighter plane", a more noisy voice suddenly broke out in the battlefield ahead.

The Greeks were defeated!

They rushed eastward, and then a louder voice rang behind them: "Follow us to escape here!! Follow us to escape here!!!"

The regiment began to make big strides and pursue. The right-wing cavalry troops that had been hiding behind the square formation rushed out at this time, and used their super long lances to pierce the escaped soldiers. The tall Iberian The war horse trampled the fallen Greeks with strong four hoofs...

Looking at the squadrons who were chasing ahead of the victory, Monte Adno finally hesitated, and he immediately sent the herald to inform the Phoenician, Rumibian, and Rumibi troops in the camp. The Asian cavalry rushed here and cooperated with the troops of the Holy Order to completely defeat the Dionyan coalition across the river.

………………………………………………

Where are the Dionyan soldiers at this critical time?This starts with the Dionysian coalition building a camp near Minoa.

The east bank of the Lower Pletara River does not have flat land like the west bank, but rather undulating hills.The Dionysian Allied Forces chose to build the camp on the north side of the city of Minoa. There are three larger hills at an altitude of more than 100 meters, and they are each about a mile apart, facing the river bank in the shape of "inverted" .Considering that Carthage's army is much larger than the coalition, in order to be able to defend against the enemy's attack, Leotizides and allied generals decided after deliberation: the general camp was built on these three hills.

Due to the largest number of soldiers and the strongest fighting power of Dionia, their barracks are set on the largest hill in the middle, and the hill to the north is stationed by soldiers of Agrigento and Economs , The hills to the south are stationed by the soldiers of Gera, Kamalina, and Pacinus.

At the foot of the hill north of the hill where the Dionysian army is stationed, there is a relatively large, approximately rectangular lake-gorgo.When the soldiers of the gang ran to the Pletara River in search of coolness, the Dionysian soldiers certainly had the same needs.For safety, Leotizides let the soldiers cool off at Gog Lake, which is closer to the camp.

Leotizides is not Monte Adnor. Although he also sits in the big camp, his mountain scouting squads and scouts are constantly monitoring the surrounding area and always reporting abnormal movements to him.

When the soldiers of Agrigento clashed with the Carthaginians on the Pletara River, he quickly got the news. He was keenly aware of the situation and sent the soldiers down the mountain immediately, ordering Dioni The Asian soldiers quickly returned to the camp.

At the same time, he also sent messengers to other camps to allow allied generals to immediately withdraw their soldiers on the river bank, especially the Agrigento.

However, the situation has developed rapidly. After the soldiers of the Allied army, which lacked discipline itself, were shot out of the fire, how could an allied general without any authority be able to control.

The expansion of the conflict and the arrival of Carthage's heavily armed soldiers means that this has evolved into a battle.

When Leotizides learned from the return of the scout ride that "Carthage's holy army has been fully operational and is rushing to the river bank", he was very anxious.

While informing the troops to prepare and go to the rescue, he stared at the map around the camp that he had just drawn and conceived the rescue operation plan.

At this time, the adjutant beside him said: "Master Commander, we don't have to rescue them at all. They are defeated and can directly escape into the military camp. Anyway, the camp is only two miles away from them."

Leotizides shook his head and said, "The Carthaginians will pursue, so that they may lose even the camp!"

The lieutenant thought for a while and said: "Then don't let them escape into the camp and guide them to escape from here." He said, fingering on the map a few times.

Leotizides looked at the place where the adjutant crossed his hand, which was the lowland between the two camps in the north and south!

The three camps of the Dionysian Army showed a "reverse shape", the two camps in the south and the north were closer to the river bank, and the middle camp was closer to the east. The low ground between the three camps was close to the length of the river bank. It was about two miles, and it was right on the bank of the conflict. The coalition soldiers turned around and fled directly. They could quickly pass through the lowlands, then bypass the hills of the Dionysian barracks, and ran into the mountains. I am afraid that the basic people will not dare to chase anymore. This is only a distance of three or four miles, but most of the defeated soldiers will instinctively flee to their own barracks first, so the adjutant will say that he needs guidance.

But the adjutant’s words were like a flash of light in Leotizides’s mind. He suddenly lowered his body, staring at the arrangement of the three camps on the map and the section of the river ahead, and at the same time asked: "Carthage How many troops are there in the Holy Regiment?"

"According to intelligence, it is about 10,000 people."

"Has this unit been dispatched?"

"The news reported by Detective Rider said so."

"How many coalition soldiers are fighting the Carthaginians on the river now?"

"The scene there is too noisy and chaotic, and Scout Rider can't give detailed figures. Their rough judgment is that there are no less than two thousand people, and this number is still increasing..."

Leotizides thought for a moment, then struck the map hard with his hand and said aloud: "Command! The six heavy infantry brigades of the Eighth Army and the first, second, third, and first of the reserve team The quadruple infantry brigade immediately reached the foot of the mountain in front of the barracks, facing the river bank array! Let the eighth brigade (ie light armor brigade) rush to the river bank, dispersed to the rear of the array of coalition soldiers, and once they were defeated, guide them immediately, Run away in the direction of our main force!

Let the fifth infantry brigade of the reserve team immediately rush to the north camp to help them defend against the enemy's attack.(This is because the soldiers stationed in the north camp were Agrigento and Economs soldiers. Now more than half of the fighting on the river bank is Agrigento, so Leotizides is worried about the North Camp Lack of defensive strength).Let the 7th Brigade (ie the Light Infantry Brigade) also go to the North Battalion, and the light infantry in the reserve team will go to the South Battalion, facing the low ground, and dominate the ground. When the enemy is found, do not attack first, let them pass, and wait for the heavy infantry to start the battle , And then attack their side.

In addition, you sent someone to inform the allied generals of the two camps, saying that my Dionysian army is ready to fight the Carthage and let them guard their camps anyway!"

The rigorously trained adjutant in the staff picks up the board that was just recorded and repeats Leotizides’ command quickly and accurately again, and then asks curiously, "Master Commander, are you ready to Had the troops of the Holy Corps that lured Carthage to reach our camp, and then waited for work to defeat them completely?"

Leotizides nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead and inform."

The adjutant was excited to go out, and Leotizides remembered something again, and stopped him: "Wait! There is one more thing, you send someone to notify the Sikels in the mountains immediately, let them in After the battle, attack the rear of the Carthage army to reduce the pressure on our defense!"

"Yes!"

"Oh, what's your name?" Leotizides suddenly asked. Since his original lieutenant Stiflos left, the eighth legionary lieutenant has changed more than ten in the past two years. We think that Leotizides's temperament is usually weird, difficult to get along with, and he is actively transferred away; on the other hand, Leotizides is demanding and always feels that those young people are not capable enough, so the adjutant will be like a walking lantern Of the non-stop.Before preparing for this war, he specifically asked the military department: in view of the scale and difficulty of this war, he hoped to send a capable adjutant.
