Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

But it was too late, and the Dionysian cavalry rushed to the front soon. When the light infantry was pierced by the spear, the cavalry quickly released their hands and then pulled out the extended Greek saber (Dio Unlike the infantry, the Niah Cavalry is not equipped with a short sword, but uses a Greek saber more than one meter long, which is convenient for chopping the enemy immediately, which is more conducive to combat, and it is not easy to drop the horse), waving in the hand, very experienced Drove the frightened light infantry and asked them to hit the center of the Roman formation.

At this time, Paulus, who knew that the squadrons on the two wings could not arrive in time, was already mobilizing the various squadrons located at the rear of the middle road. Although he knew that this would seriously affect the combat of the front-line soldiers on the middle road, the top priority was to block these first. Collapse the soldiers and cavalry to prevent them from disrupting the array in the middle.

The squadron-based army formed by the Roman military system showed its flexibility at this time. Under the command of Paulus, several squadron commanders quickly commanded the soldiers to turn around and rushed to the rear, Want to rearrange the array.

However, hundreds of light infantrymen driven by Dionysian cavalry and running like headless flies were crowded with them, and even to escape, the Roman soldiers who were standing in front of them were pushed down.

The light infantry and the heavy Roman infantry were crowded together, while the Dionysian cavalry on the periphery waved their sabers and cut them, making the situation even more chaotic.

"Spike these light infantry! Hit them!..." Paulus yelled anxiously, and speared the first spear, striking a light infantry who had broken in front of him.

The heavy infantry of Rome had to learn something, and stabbed the light infantry who had been fighting side by side, but now they were in trouble, but the chaotic situation could not be resolved immediately.

Paulus stabbed the defeated soldier while shouting at the army to reform its formation.

And at this moment, he heard the soldiers panic shouting: "enemy! There is another enemy!!!"

Paulus sinks in his heart, takes a few steps back, looks intently forward, gazes through the gap of the Dionysian cavalry, and sees a black horizontal line appearing in the distant land, and it is quickly facing Moving forward, as it moves, the black line continues to lengthen and widen...

Paulus, who has led the army many times, knows: This is the illusion of sight caused by the dense infantry square array moving in the distance, and this uniform, bright black clearly shows that this unit can never be a Roman or Latin, completely let Paulus have no fluke in his heart.

At that moment, he was terrified that his heart was empty, his hands and feet were no longer dependent, and his body might fall at any time.

At this moment, the men next to him said anxiously: "General, the enemy's reinforcements are here, our defeat is determined, it is better to withdraw first!"

"Yeah, quickly withdraw! You can't leave anymore!" These guards composed of his people and diners also persuaded.

go?!Rome is gone, where else can I go?!... Paulus's expression of pain on his face. He remembered the miserable years when the Celtics captured Rome more than ten years ago, and the young self broke through. A force rose from the bottom of his heart. He resolutely answered : "No, I will fight against the enemies who invaded Rome like the Fabios family back then!"

He held up the bayonet in his hand and shouted loudly: "For Rome, the battle will not end!"

On weekdays, I enjoy the various benefits provided by the clan. Nowadays, the heir of the patriarch issued a call. According to the Roman tradition, these clan and diners must of course swear to follow. "

Their shouts infect other heavy infantrymen, and they also shouted, "For Rome, the battle will not retreat!!!"

For a time, the popularity of Rome rose.

In front of them, the light infantry were still panicking, and the Diorian cavalry had begun to retreat to the two wings, making room for the attack of the soldiers of the reserve Dionysia in the rear.

This newly arrived Dionysian army was quickly and completely displayed in front of the Roman soldiers. They lined up densely and neatly, standing with their heads up and walking forward. Obviously, they also have a good physical reserve, and their The array is about one mile long, and it can be seen that its number is not large.

"Woo!..." The bugle sounded, and the Dionyan soldiers shouted the name of Hades and ran forward.

"Prepare to fight!" Paulus, who stood in the forefront, clenched his shield gun in his hand, Shen Sheng said. By this time, he had put his life and death away.

But at this time, there was some confusion in the soldiers behind him.

The original Dionysian soldiers who fought against Rome’s middle road also heard the sound, and suddenly increased their offensive. The middle road of Rome had been weakened before, so the soldiers were forced to retreat, and the rear soldiers who were preparing to defend Touched together.

At this time, Dionysia's reinforcements had approached to within 30 meters, quickly throwing his javelin, they took out the javelin and began the final charge.

The Roman army was caught between two sides...

Paulus and his guards and the surrounding soldiers wanted to fight desperately, but for most Roman civilians who had just acquired land and became heavy infantry just a few months ago, their loyalty to Rome was far away. Not so strong.

When the rear enemy's offensive trumpet sounded, when Dionia's reinforcements rushed like a tide, some Roman soldiers who saw this scene were shaken, and their escape quickly triggered the entire formation. Collapsing.

In the middle of the heavy infantry brigade of the Second Army, Adoris suddenly found that the comrades in front who had been almost unchanged began to march forward.

"Fast chase! Quick chase! The enemy escapes!..." The cheers of his comrades cheered him up, and like other soldiers, he took a big step and ran forward.

At this time, on the outer side of the right wing, the defeat of the Roman army from the middle road has not been transmitted here. The Roman heavy infantry is still attacking, and they are resisted by the Dionysian light armor brigade that has just arrived, and Klotoka The court guard led by Tucks.

The light armoured soldiers fought against the heavy infantry. Of course, the Dionysians had to suffer, but the battle had just begun, and the gap could not be revealed.

But for Kloto Kataks and the court guards, their armor and weapons are stronger than their enemies, and these soldiers are eager to prove themselves, so they have gained some upper hand in the initial fighting.

Under the influence of the surrounding guards, Crotocatax is also actively attacking, small stride, shield top, gun poke, bow, shield block... from small to large, more than ten years in school, at home training every day , The military skills that have been integrated into the body are more and more free to use in the fight, and the spears of the enemy’s continuous piercing no longer make him feel panic, making him feel as if he often practiced with Maltius, although Tension does not cause danger.

While his long shield blocked the enemy's spear, he suddenly moved forward.

The enemy had no time to draw back the bayonet, and his figure was a little unstable, revealing gaps.

Kloto Kataks immediately poked the javelin forward with lightning.

The enemy hurriedly bowed its head, and the sharp gun head was poking on the helmet. The force transmitted by the gun body obviously made the enemy faint.

At this stunned moment, Crotocatax's instinctive right hand was slightly recovered, and a second shot was quickly spurred.

The screaming scream and the grief on the enemy's face stunned the face of the enemy.

"Be careful!" The guard next to him yelled, and he heard the sound of "bulge". The spear thrust from the side was blocked by the guard's long shield.

"Don't be distracted when fighting!" The guards were reminded loudly in anxiety, not taking into account the difference in identity.

Crotocatax was shocked in cold sweat. The shame in his heart made him forget the discomfort of the first killing. He made up for the mistakes with a more aggressive attack.

However, the resistance in front suddenly weakened.

The enemies in front were in turmoil, and soon they turned and fled.

Croto Kataks, who had not yet fought to the fullest, immediately followed his surrounding comrades and pursued forward.

At this time, except for the hundreds of soldiers led by Paulus, the rest of the Roman soldiers had begun to flee.

But this is when the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps came into play. Thousands of Dionysian cavalry galloped across the vast plains, wielding spears or sabers, chasing the Romans who had thrown their shield guns away because of their escape Soldiers, I believe that the Romans who can finally escape from the battlefield have few left.

It didn't take long for the Romans' final resistance to disappear.

Epidene was standing in front of the blood-filled body of Paulus, whose tall red cap tassel had already proven his identity.

"It's a warrior, but it's a pity not to be smart!" Epitanius looked down, turned around, and said to the adjutant with disapproval: "Anyway, he was a general, buried him, and by the way took off his helmet, and that Facing the Roman flag, this is our loot!"

"Yes, general!"

At this time, Tolmed came on horseback.

Epidnis immediately smiled and said, "Tolmed, are you here to congratulate me?"

"Lead the army back to the camp immediately and wait for His Majesty's instructions!" Tolmed said rightly.

"So anxious, don't let the brothers breathe?!" Epitanius said half-jokingly, half-complaintly.

"When you take the city of Rome, you can rest as much as possible, but now the other legions are attacking the city with all their strength, and there are always soldiers killed and injured. Time is very important to us. I don't think you still have the feeling of delaying here."

Tolmed's words made Epitanis look serious, and said aloud to the adjutant: "Immediately trumpet and call for brothers to gather!"

Indeed, as expected by Daveus, some of the Roman reinforcements from the south followed Paulus from the southwest of Rome, and some followed Mejus from the southeast. However, the scattered reinforcements that came one after another began to attack Dai from the south. Great Camp of Onia.
