Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The two cavalry regiment chiefs were busy recruiting their cavalry, and the commander, Tolmed, behind the Dionysian formation, learned from the return of the reconnaissance ride that he had learned about the changes in the formation of the enemy, and he must of course also respond.

He pondered for a moment and issued an order: Let the light armored brigade of the 4th and 5th legions behind the left and right wings move quickly forward and expand towards the two wings to block the enemies trying to wrap around. The Light Armored Brigade of the Second Army was divided into two parts, ready to support the wings.

After all, it is very difficult to make the light armor and the heavy infantry of the enemy confront each other positively. Tolmed is also helpless, he just wants to delay some more time.

The order was issued, and the troops began to mobilize, causing the dust to rise. Tormid, who had been in a state of tension, looked ahead, and suddenly his eyes widened: "What's going on?"

Through the gray dust, he saw Croto Katax and 40 court guards who were quietly resting in front of him suddenly moving to the right.

"Sir, no one has given any extra orders to His Royal Highness the Prince!" his men were busy explaining.

"Go!... Quickly send someone to tell His Highness, let him obey the order, stay where he is!" Tolmed said anxiously.

Kroto Katax saw the herald soldier Mercedes yelling loudly behind the array, he immediately realized that the situation had changed, and he unauthorizedly ordered the court guard to move to the right with the Fifth Legion Light Armor Brigade. These court guards initially returned He was stopped on the grounds of his safety, but he was, after all, an interim officer of this palace guard, plus a citizen of Dionysia who did not want to make a contribution, these palace guards stayed in the city of Turui for a long time, protecting Dai King Firth, there was a chance to fight against the enemy, and he was tempted, so he was easily persuaded by Klotokatax.

When the herald rushed over and demanded that "Kroto Kataks obey the order and stay where he was", Kloto Kataks responded angrily: "Please tell Lord Tolmed, the army is now In the face of danger, the other soldiers are fighting in blood, but they want us to hide like a coward. Does he want us to be a joke of the whole kingdom?!"

The words of Klotokatax immediately stabilized the somewhat swaying court guards, so they did not listen to the dissuasion and followed Klotokatax to continue.

After Tolmed got the answer from Croto Catax from the soldiers of the order, he was good at coordinating and handling various complicated relations, but he didn't know what to do for a while.On the one hand, indeed, as the young prince said, if he let him stand by and wait for the war to end and return to Turi, the prince is indeed likely to be ridiculed by the public, then not only Crotocatax will hate He, King Daphes and Princess Christosia will also be dissatisfied with him; but if he is really let him go to confront the fierce enemy, if he is really injured, he will also be complained, if he dies, Then..."

Just as he was hesitant, the scout came and flew: "Report, Lord Epitanis has led his army to the battlefield!"

"It's finally here!" Tormed exhaled for a long time, and his suspended heart finally fell. He turned around and said, "I immediately pulled a company from the Light Armoured Brigade of the Second Legion to accompany His Royal Highness. Hurry to the right!"

With the reinforcement of Epitanes, the defeat of the Roman reinforcements is at hand, and he no longer has to worry about the safety of Crotocatax.

………………………………………

"Leading the army to land in Latium and attacking Rome" is regarded by Davers as one of his most important strategic plans so far. In the past life, he knew that Rome was powerful. Of course he would go all out, so he not only dispatched the first and the first Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Infantry Regiment, and First and Second Cavalry Regiment, he also sent Epitanis, who had just stepped down as chief executive, at home, to Lucania.

Since the Third Army stayed in Atra at the request of the Campanias, the Ministry of Military Affairs later appointed Zantiparis to form a new reserve army in the Lucania region to replace the Third Army to defend the entire Lucania region .The soldiers of the Third Army not only came from Lucania, but also included Copsa and the coastal areas of Enona, Posetonia, Elia, and Laos. Therefore, Zhantiparis is very rich A complete new army was soon formed.

Daveus issued an order: Epidnis led half of the strength of the new legion, and drove to Ostia the next day after the army landed in Latium and occupied Ostia.

This is a reserve hand reserved by Davers. He will use this important flag depending on the development of the battle situation.

Since the attention of the coastal city-states of Latium was attracted by the great event of the "Siege of the Roman Army of Dionysian Army", it was not noticed that another small group of Dionysian troops entered the huge fleet of supplies. The port of Ostia.

When Daveus learned of the news yesterday that “the previously defeated Roman army had gathered again, marching east, preparing to rescue the city of Rome”, he immediately sent a messenger and hurried to Ostia to inform Epi Thenis led the army eastward today to assist the main force in defeating the Roman reinforcements and ensure the smooth progress of the siege operation.

Epitanes, who had been out of the army for several years, was known as "flexible and good at fighting" in the past. After leading the army out this morning, he did not urge the soldiers to hurry, but marched at a slow pace. At the same time, he sent a lot of reconnaissance rides, and frequently went to the military camp to understand the deployment of the entire siege and the enemy situation outside the Roman city, and to keep abreast of the progress of the war situation in order to find fighters.

When he learned that friendly forces were intercepting a large number of Roman reinforcements to the west of the city of Rome, he immediately realized that this would be his first target.

Only then did he order: the whole army to accelerate in the direction he specified.

When the troops were about to reach the battlefield, Epithenis met 400 cavalry soldiers hidden behind two heads of cavalry regiments. After learning of the attack plans of Ledes and Kuzius, he immediately said confidently : "Go tell your army commander, don't consume your horse anymore, the next battle will be given to me!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered: The troops stopped advancing, began to form an array, and let the soldiers sort out their equipment.

Lydes was relieved to hear the arrival of reinforcements, but he was not prepared to completely abandon his previously planned offensive plan, and quickly reached an agreement with Kuzius: the plan was carried out as usual, but the two wings offensively changed It became a feint, and the raid in the middle did not change.

"Woo!..." The offensive bugle sounded, Leiders' legs were caught in the horse's abdomen, the crotch of the horse drove four hooves, and began to advance. More than 1,000 cavalrymen in the rear followed him from the initial slow walk to Jogging in small steps takes a long time.

On the other side, more than 1,000 cavalry led by Kuzius also handled the same.

This gave the Roman army who had been vigilant against the Dionysian cavalry a chance to react. Seeing this situation in Paulus behind the formation, of course, will not allow the Dionysian cavalry to destroy the attack of the heavy winged infantry, so He immediately ordered: The twelve Roman squadrons staying behind hurried to the wings to block the attack of the enemy cavalry.

Seeing the Roman soldiers approaching the sides, the Dionysian cavalry was still a hundred meters away, and Paulus was relieved temporarily.

At this time, the Dionysian cavalry has changed from small-step jogging to medium-speed running. Thousands of horseshoes on both sides of the military array struck the ground vigorously, the dust was flying, and the earthquake shook...

Looking far away, I saw two black cavalry troops forming a huge arrow shape under the two gray clouds one mile away, like a black tide flowing forward swiftly. Some bright red flashed in the surging Kuroshio, which was the flag of the Cavalry Corps.The biggest side is held high next to the head of the legion, at the forefront of the queue. It is facing the wind and flying high, indicating the direction of the whole army.

At this moment, the first cavalry was less than seventy meters away from the Roman army in front of them, and Ledes shouted: "Turn left! Turn left!!!..."

The straight-up Pegasus flag immediately pointed to the left, and the brigades and company's flag bearers who had been watching the flag movements also changed the direction of the flag in hand. The forefront of Ledes and the surrounding cavalry led the whole army. Turning...Finally, the entire cavalry troop passed the Roman army ahead.

The Roman soldiers were relieved when they saw the dust from the enemy ride, which was only two or thirty meters away, drove one after another, and ran parallel to their own array. Although the Roman soldiers were still a little nervous, they felt relieved: The momentum created by countless enemy rides just now is too scary!

The Roman soldiers on both wings relaxed, but the Roman light infantry at the rear of the middle road was tense. They pointed to the rear and shouted in horror: "Cavalry! Cavalry of Dionynia! They rushed towards us!! !......"

Yes, a cloud of dust also rose a few hundred meters behind them, gray wrapped in black, rolling towards them.

Paulus, who was behind the light infantry, turned and saw this terrible scene, and he was also panicked: Damn, I was taken on by the Dionysians!

"Go! Hurry up! Hurry up to notify the squadrons transferred to the two wings to return quickly! Hurry!!..."

Unlike the two-winged Dionysian cavalry, the 400 offensive cavalry are already running at an accelerated speed, and a distance of a few hundred meters does not take much time.

Most of these Roman light infantry are not Roman citizens, but come from the Latin Confederacy. Of course, they will not have the determination of Roman citizens to fight for the purpose of defending their homeland and fighting hard. Seeing the rapidly approaching enemy riders, escape quickly. "!" In the cry, the light infantrymen scattered and fled.
