Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Usibic is right. This is our mountainous area. At night, we are hunting wolves, and the Dionysians will only become our prey!"

"That's right, just do it!"

The leaders all agreed, and finally reached an agreement.

50 meters away from the Dionysian formations, nearly 7,000 Samone soldiers began to circle around its west and north sides in an extremely loose formation, and some soldiers even lay in the grass. in.

Alexis saw this situation in the formation and did not make the soldiers impulse to attack, because he knew that once the soldiers started to charge, these seemingly lazy Samonais would run as fast as a rabbit, Luring the soldiers into the mountains will be a disaster.

As a result, the two sides were separated by a distance of tens of meters, and they faced each other face-to-face, and time was passing by little by little.

The Samonais are fearless, and the Dionysian soldiers are more and more flustered. After all, this is a strange land for them.

The captains of various brigades successively asked Alexis: Do they want to retreat?

It was firmly rejected by Alexis.

The adjutant Yomatsius couldn't help but say, "Master Commander, we are fighting with the Abenerum for the first time, I think--"

"I don't trust the Abenerum people very much." Alexis interrupted him, Shen Sheng said: "But I trust Pollet more, and the most reassuring thing is that Zantiparis is here, Now that he has agreed to this plan, he will definitely do his best to implement it!"

Eumatsius didn't speak anymore, he knew why Alexis said this, because in the Civil War, Alexis fought side by side with Pollet, and more importantly, Alexis and Zante Paris was once a mercenary on the expedition to Persia. He had a deep fighting friendship and trusted each other.

However, as the sun in the sky gradually turned west, the surroundings were still calm, and the expression on Alexis's face gradually became dignified...

Finally, he couldn't help saying to Yomatseus: "Go and call those Abenerums!"

……………………………………

The Dionysian army always stayed where it left the leaders of Samoney confused.

"Don't these Dionysians worry that there is no place to sleep after the dark night arrives?" Usibic could not help whispering.

"Perhaps the Dionysians thought that we would retreat before the night came, so we will be more patient than trying to see who we are." A leader laughed haha.

"I think they are waiting for their reinforcements from the River Bay military camp, but even if there are more Dionysians, it should be dark by the time they arrive, and they will become our prey." Another leader is confident. Said.

Reinforcement?With a move in his heart, Usibic asked the leaders of Hilpini: "What's wrong with Abenerum these days?"

"Anomaly? They are not as usual. As soon as they saw our people driving cattle and sheep near their territory, they sent a team of soldiers to stand on the border and threaten us. But once our soldiers rushed over, these cowards would Run away... If it weren’t for our war with Dionysia, we really wanted to let the leader of Lesliek lead us in the fight!" a leader from Beneventum said disdainfully.

Another Hilpini leader understood Usibiq’s words and said, “Aren’t you suspecting that Abenerum turned to Dionyssia?! Rest assured, even if Garni is a jerk, It is also impossible to throw the javelin at his fellow people, and he also made an oath in the name of Savoni in front of the high priest, and it is impossible to violate it! Besides, the chief prince Leishuk specially sent spies every day in Abbe Nerom stared outside the territory. If there were any anomalies, I am afraid that he would come over to inform us now."

"Yes, you can rest assured that Ushibike, even if there is any conflict, the Hillpini tribe will not kill each other." Several leaders of Hillpini responded immediately, and one leader even Said sympathetically: "Seriously, the chieftain is also too harsh on Abenerum, and it's really not easy for Garni these years."

The leader of Beneventum looked a little ugly, and Ucibic's expression became a bit gloomy. He was suspicious: these Hilpini leaders were secretly taunting the big leader of Cautini a few days ago. Govanni used a scheme to lure Quinduk and conquer Naconia.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent, and the leaders of the other two tribes saw Usibic's face ugly, and were preparing to say something to resolve this embarrassment.

Suddenly, a spy hurriedly ran down from the mountains on the west side: "Everyone... you leaders, it's not good!... south side... There is an army in the south, there are many, many soldiers, rushing here quickly Come!"

The leaders were taken aback.

"Where is the army?" Usibic asked anxiously, because the south of the spy's finger did not refer to the direction of the river bay, but to the west of the river bay, southwest of the mountain. As far as he knows, there are no tribes and towns there.

"I... I don't know, because they don't wear red (Samoines often wear red singles), nor black, but black and yellow." The spy said with a dim sum, he was just on the mountain far away Seeing from afar, he hurried to report, and did not rush over to investigate carefully.

"Black-yellow?" a leader of Hilpine suddenly said: "Is it Potentia?"

Everyone heard it and was shocked. They all knew that there is a plant in Lucania that can make yellow dyes. So in the past, most Lucania warriors used yellow costumes to fight. Could it be them?

Since the Southern Italian War, the Potentians have never participated in any battles. The leaders of Samone still have the impression that it was ten years ago. They looted in the territory of Potentia, almost Genocide.Since the area of ​​Lucania has been merged into the Kingdom of Dionia, after the beginning of this war, not only the chiefs of all tribes, but even they subconsciously regarded Potentia as a part of Dionysia and ignored In fact, it exists independently as a free market.

Urgent situation!Usibic had no time to figure out where this army came from. He only knew that this could never be the army of the Samone Tribal Alliance.

Now how to do?!Retreat immediately?!The anxious Usibic looked at the panicked leaders, and then looked at the Dionysian army in front of him, realizing that he had to make a decision quickly.

But before he could make up his mind, the southwest sounded a loud trumpet, and then the northwest sounded a powerful horn.

……………………………………

"...General, it is impossible for them to hide our spies on such a large-scale military deployment. The leader of the Garni will definitely unite the Potentias and come here—" Benirum’s guide was trying to explain to Alexis that he suddenly heard the trumpet sound from the west, and then heard the horn sound, and he immediately exulted: “Come! Our soldiers are here!... "

At the moment, Alexis, who heard the bugle, did not listen to him at all, but immediately said to Eumatus: "Go and order the light armoured soldiers to attack! The other brigades then attacked!"

Yomatsius was surprised for a while: "Master Commander, our reinforcements have not yet arrived in full, will we wait a second?"

"Wait again, the enemy will run away!" Alexis said without hesitation.

…………………………………………

By the time the trumpet sounded, the leaders of Samone would have understood that the Dionysians were fooled. Retreat was an unquestionable problem, but such a large army had to be retreated uniformly, otherwise it would be easy to retreat It turned into a retreat, and retreating in which direction was also a problem: there were Dionysian troops in the east, and large groups of enemies came from the northwest and southwest. Because the mountains directly north are steep and difficult to climb, it seems that only the south also It is safer, but the south leads to the Ovanto River. Who knows if the Dionysians ambush there?

The situation was urgent, and the leaders quickly agreed: While the enemy's reinforcements had not yet arrived, they immediately withdrew to the west.

When the chiefs were about to quickly return to their ranks, Dionysia’s shield formation suddenly cracked a lot of gaps, and 2,000 light armor surged out, holding a leather shield dagger and killing the Samonei soldiers. Come.

The confrontation between the two sides lasted for more than three hours, especially the Dionysians put on a firm posture, gradually killing the fighting spirit of the Samonei warriors, many of them were lying on the ground and basking in the sun It was only because he heard the sound of the bugle in the west that he was called by his companions. Before his body was stretched out, he saw that the Dionyan soldiers on the opposite side were like hungry beasts.The distance of more than 50 meters is too short, and many of the long-relaxed Samonei soldiers have no time to retreat, and the Dionysian soldiers rushed to their eyes.

It was not until this time that Alexis let the commander sound the offensive bugle.

The assault of the Dionysian light armoured soldiers disrupted the loose formation of the Samonei coalition. Some soldiers were retreating, and some soldiers were fighting with the Dionysian soldiers. The whole scene became a bit chaotic.

Originally, Usibic wanted to wait for the leaders to reorganize their teams and retreat together. Now forced to resign, they had to order the horn of retreat.

As soon as the horn sounded, the remaining fighting spirit of the Samonei soldiers was gone.

"Run west! Follow me west!..." The leaders shouted hysterically, leading the surrounding soldiers to retreat to the mountains behind them, they wanted to use Dionysian soldiers not good at climbing in the mountains Shortcomings, to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.
