Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Those Samonei fighters who fell in the end were naturally easily caught up and stabbed by the Dionysian light armor.

Seeing Samone’s army retreat across the board, the Dionysian light infantry who were originally the second offensive line also took the initiative to break away from the protection of the heavy infantry, spread their feet, ran forward, and quickly caught up with the light armor At the same time, they gradually expanded the chase net to the east.

He was leading the troops to Pollet down the west side of the mountain. He heard the sound of the attacking trumpet from the east. He felt anxious and issued a command: "Don't line up, immediately give me up the mountain and rush over, Surround the Samonais!"

After giving the order, Pollet thought of Zantiparis beside him, and then asked a little apologetically: "General Zantiparis, what is your opinion?"

Zanteiparis, who has been 60 years old, followed this non-stop mountain march, and now he was tired and his legs were soft. He was held up by two guards and gasped straight beside him, barely squeezing a smile: "Master Pollet ...I totally agree...your decision!...But, we have to be faster...don't lose to them!" He said, pointing his finger at the front.

A few hundred meters away, there is a black-red force in front of it, which is also climbing up the mountain.

Pollet's face immediately turned: "You're right, we can't lose to the Samonei!"

He immediately ordered the commander to continue to sound the offensive bugle, and asked his men to urge the soldiers to speed up the mountain.

The Potentians are also mountain races, and their ability to cross mountains is also not weak. The soldiers drew out the wearing Dionysian daggers (this is after they received the Dionysian military training and received permission from the Ministry of Military Affairs. I bought it from a weapon trader of Dionia), of course, instead of using it to kill the enemy at this moment, I used it to cut down various blocking branches and stinging bushes on the way up the mountain.

In the process of the soldiers climbing the mountain quickly, Pollet was also reminded by Zantiparis to allow the troops behind to extend northwards, trying not to leave a large gap with the Abenerum army.

Although the two troops seemed to be competing, they climbed up, but it took more than 20 minutes to climb up the mountainside. At this time, they could already hear the shouting from the opposite side of the mountain, Fighting sound, and more and more clear.

The soldiers immediately picked up their spirits, and they knew that the enemy was not far from them.

Pollet also hurriedly asked the herders to inform the soldiers to find a gentle place or stop moving as soon as possible, leveling the ground in place, so that he could stand firm.

Not only are the Potentians doing this, but the Abenerum people are taking the same measures.

All the soldiers stopped moving on the mountainside one after another. From a distance, it seemed to be a curved belt for these continuous mountains.

More than ten minutes later, the shouting became clearer, and there was a continuous scream and the sound of “whoo-wa-ra-a” rubbing the foliage... Although the view was blocked by the lush woods, the Lucanian soldiers knew that the enemy had turned After crossing the ridge, rushing towards them.

Although these mountains look relatively gentle, the slope is actually not small. As the saying goes, "uphill is easy to go downhill", but for these mountain races, downhill is much easier than uphill. The soldiers saw the figure of the enemy.

It stands to reason that fighting in the mountains, the low-lying side, is inherently at a disadvantage, but don’t forget that the Samone’s army is in retreat, so these ruined soldiers running at the front are actually lying down and sliding, they Maybe it was because of the mutual push and slip during the fleeing, maybe this method can run faster, but when they saw an enemy in front, these blood stains and the buttocks were almost shattered The warrior of Samonai has no strength to stand up, and only screams in horror: "There are enemies! There are enemies!..."

As a result, he was either stabbed to death by Potentia soldiers, or became a captive automatically.

And the next is the emergence of a large stock of broken soldiers. The Samone broken soldiers running in front are taking the method of running down in front of them. In order to restrain inertia and prevent falling, they have to hug trees from time to time, so they often hold hands Weapons cannot be preserved, either a shield or a spear is thrown.

And the last wave of defeated soldiers took the way of running down sideways. Although the speed is slow, but steady, they have also become the main force of the Shock Potentia defense line.

On Abenirum’s side, when they saw their compatriots rushing down from the top of the mountain in panic, the mood of the soldiers was complicated, as was Galny.But he knew that since the start of the war between Samona and Dionynia, the losing streak of consecutive battles, coupled with today’s defeat, the final defeat of the entire Samonai tribal alliance was inevitable, and Abenerum only followed Daionia. It is possible to get a new life after the end of this war, so Guerny only hesitated a little and gave the order to attack.

The heavy javelins thrown by the soldiers knocked down Samone's soldiers down the mountain one by one.

"God, it's the Abenerum!"

"How dare you collude with outsiders and kill your own compatriots, Savoni will punish you!"

"Abni Rum people, we all belong to the Hippini tribe. For the sake of all the same people, please let us go!"

...

Insults, curses, and pleading voices came out of the mouth of the soldiers, the look of the Abenerum warriors remained unchanged, and they did not stop wielding weapons. The Tribal Alliance of Samonet has suppressed and discriminated against the blockade of Abenerum for more than a decade. The bad results were born today, and the Abenerum people had a deep hatred with the other Samones, and it was not just a few words to dissolve this gap.

The defeat of Samone ended up with the Abenerum and Potentia who intercepted them. In order to escape and was inspired by blood and bravery, they once relied on the terrain to push back the opponent's front repeatedly. .

However, Potentia-Abenirum’s front was not breached. After all, Pollet called 12,000 soldiers this time, and Gellney also brought 3,000 soldiers. The total strength is twice that of the opponent. half.

What's more, the defeated soldiers were chaotically organized, with improper equipment and unpopular hearts. After a burst of assault failed, some of the defeated soldiers retired. After all, although they took advantage of the mountain climbing skills, they put the Dionysian chasing soldiers behind. Behind him, they are now intercepted by another group of enemies. Once Dionysian chased the soldiers, they will flee back and forth, so some of the broken soldiers gave up the breakthrough from the front and turned from the north and the south. Escape sideways in an attempt to bypass the enemy's interception.

It didn’t take long for the collective retreat of Samone’s coalition to completely disperse...

The trio of Dionya, Potentia and Abenerum simultaneously pursued...

In the end, more than 1,500 people were killed and wounded, more than 3,000 were captured, and more than 1,000 people fled, while the Dionysian coalition killed and wounded less than 400 people.

Under the victorious atmosphere of the victory, Zantiparis, Pollet, and Guerney met Alexis, who was still in the valley.

"Zandiparis, you are not too late." Alexis gently expressed his dissatisfaction, knowing that after a long wait, he not only doubted whether the reinforcements could arrive, There was even a fear of whether the troops could be successfully brought back to the camp. Now I have a little bit of fear when I look back.

"We ran into some problems on the way, and we did come a little late, but it didn't affect our final victory--" Zantiparis played haha.

Guerny took the initiative and said apologetically: "The reason we are late is mainly my reason..."

It turned out that after Abenirum turned back to Dionyssia, the Military Department originally approved Alexis's offensive plan, pulling out the nail that was between Pucciti and Dawn's waist, Aquiloni Asia, so that the areas of Abenirum, Copsa, and Aquilonia can be connected together, so that the entire southern part of Hilpini is owned by Dionysia, which also reduces the northern border of the Kingdom. Defensive pressure.

However, during the communication with Gellney, the detailed information about the Samonet tribe alliance that Gellney revealed attracted the attention of the Ministry of Military Affairs. According to the information provided by Gellney and the previous three battles The number of people (including the previous battle with Kautini), the staff members after a detailed calculation, speculated that the number of Samonian coalitions may be more than the 10,000 Samoan coalition soldiers who are besieging Naples, then Where are the thousands of Samone warriors that might come out?Is there any conspiracy hidden in the Samone?...Hilos, the Secretary of State for Military Affairs, had to think seriously.

So, after communicating with Alexis by letter, a new offensive plan was formed: Alexis still led the eastern troops into the mountains and attacked Aquilonia. If the Samones were really powerless, Then directly capture Aquilonia; if the Samone really hides thousands of fighters and prepares to lure the Dionysian army to fight in the mountains, then Dionysian is also ready to play.

The backers are Al Nirum and Potentia.

For the joint attack on the mountains of Samonay, the chief of Potentia, Bolert, responded very positively. He had already summoned 12,000 soldiers.For Guerney, if he had been in the past, he might still hesitate, but the leader of Naconia, Quinduk, was lured, and the entire Naconian area was occupied by Samone’s coalition. Benirum’s territory, because Abenirum’s north is Benefentum under the rule of Leske, the west is partly adjacent to the territory of Naconia, and the south is bordered by the territory of Dionia (especially It is close to Copsa), so the break of the traditional bloody practices of the Samone Tribal Alliance caused him a high degree of vigilance and fear, and also made him determined to closely follow Dionysia against the Samone Tribal Alliance.
