Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

But this did not stop the Greek heavy infantry from advancing, but forced them to sprint forward desperately. They all remembered the words of the team officers who warned them before the war: "You must rush forward regardless of physical strength and desperation. The timid Cavutini enemies, preventing them from throwing javelins, then we are safe!"

The third wave of javelin attacks by the Kaufini formation did not arrive immediately, because the distance was too close, not to mention that there was no time to throw, not even time to exchange positions with the soldiers who had just thrown from the forefront.

After the war, the Kautini warriors and even the Samone warriors, led by their tribal leaders, generally follow the traditional combat routines, but their actions are basically free. They can choose according to the changes in the battlefield. Whether it is offensive or retreat, because its formation is very loose and the interval is relatively large, the entire military formation is flexible in the course of combat.

Now all the Kautini fighters (including chief Segovani) have started to turn around and run back. They are not afraid of the enemy’s offense because they firmly believe that the Greeks can’t run past them and wait for the distance, and Greece When people have no physical strength, it will be time for them to attack at will.

Compared with the heavy infantry in the middle, the coalition infantry who were on the two wings lightly sprinted faster. The Cavutini soldiers only shot the first round of the javelin. After causing some killings, they had to start retreating.In fact, in terms of the equipment of both sides, they can rush up to fight with each other, but based on the habit of long-term combat (after using the javelin to cause chaos in the other party and then fight in close combat), and fear of being entangled, they will be attacked by nearby enemies. Surrounded by the tribe, these tribal leaders have not been so selfless, allowing their tribe warriors to attract enemies for others.

The light armoured soldiers at both ends of the lineup are in front of them without Campania fighters. These Dionysian citizens from the mountains of Lucania, without enemies, stepped on their strong legs and enjoyed themselves. Running, in fact, their position is almost flush with the frontline fighters of Kautini on the inside, but instead of turning inside to attack, they continue to move forward.

The Campania cavalry, which was originally on the outside of the left wing, was faster. The running horses had brought them to the side and rear of the Kaoutini formation, but they did not have the courage to directly intercept hundreds of enemies who were retreating. Instead, he waved his rifle and approached them from the side, trying to force them to go down the middle, thereby blocking the passage of the enemy in other positions and delaying the retreat of the entire army.

But after the Cavutini soldiers threw javelins and shot down a dozen cavalrymen, these Campania cavalrymen no longer dared to approach the enemy.

It should have been a fierce battle, but it turned out to be a large-scale racing competition. On the long front line of three miles, both the Dionysian coalition and the Cavutini fighters are doing their best. The running caused the ground to rumble and dust everywhere.

After a period of running, Dionia’s heavy infantry, who began to pant, heard the team officers screaming and panting: "Throw... Drop the shield... Throw the shield!"

They did so without hesitation, and once the heaviest long shield was thrown away, they just held the bayonet and felt relaxed, their speed was maintained, and the distance from the Kautini warriors was not pulled apart.

This was originally an established plan, and the heavy infantry of Campania were affected by it. Under the leadership of the generals led by Ai Luosi, they also threw out the shields in their hands.

The Campania heavy infantry who did not wear a helmet or a round shield was really not used to it at first, but gradually adapted to the non-stop running.

Kautini warriors thought that the Greeks would stop as usual after a charge, but they did not expect the other party to run.Although they saw that the other party threw away the helmet and the shield in their review, it is logical that this is the best time to attack with the javelin, but the two sides are too close together. Throwing the javelin requires a little preparation time, and this Just a few seconds can cause the enemy to rush to the front. With the entire lineup retreating, no tribal leader will actively stop the people to attack, they just want to: faster, then Hurry up!After running for a while, these iron cans will lose their strength!...

But in fact, the first to feel weak was the Cavutini fighters. They were eager to rescue Lola, marching all the way, without rest, without eating, they were very tired when they arrived here, coupled with the sudden and tense running, the muscles of the whole body They all started to sore. The reason why they still insist is that the tough character of the mountain people is playing a role.In order to allow them to run, they also began to throw away the long shields in their hands...

Segowani Wanwan did not expect that the enemies with Campania as the main force would adopt such a way to conduct battles, and they are still responding to the different enemies in the past.When he felt sore and difficult to breathe himself, and the surrounding guards were panting, he suddenly realized that the strange attacking style of the enemy might be hitting their weaknesses, but at this moment he even wanted to let all It is simply impossible for the army to stop and fight back, because the battle has already begun and the whole army is running, unable to convey orders at all.

The dizziness caused by fatigue and ischemia in the brain prevented Segovani from thinking carefully. He simply made a big deal: we will see who can run!

After a period of running, the entire Dionysian Allied Forces formation has turned into a huge meniscus formation at the back of the center and before the wings, and the array is no longer continuous, and there are many gaps, especially in the center. This worries the followers of Zantiparis who followed the team: "General... Then... run this way again, the gap in the middle of the array will be... The more and more open, if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack... Trouble! Do you want... Do you want the Light Armor Brigade to attack now?"

Segowani is no longer able to command the entire army of Kaoutini, nor can Zantiparis, but he can also command Dionysia’s army, especially the light armoured soldiers at both ends, because he has been using reconnaissance rides with them Keep in touch.

His men are concerned about the heavy infantry in front, while he riding on the horse has been watching the Cavutini fighters in front of them. Their running back and the heavy pace make him feel the difficulty of the other party running, the most important It was their distance from their soldiers that had never been pulled apart.

It can be seen that he has achieved results with this tactic. Both sides have consumed physical strength, but for the Cautini fighters, they have lost the most headache speed for Campania soldiers.

Therefore, he said confidently: "Don't worry, let them continue chasing."

Zantiparis was not afraid of the cautini fighters stopping to attack, because the close fight was what the coalition wanted, even if they tore the coalition’s formation, he still believed that the final victory belonged to the coalition because of his greatest confidence Coming from the 4,000 soldiers of the Lucania Reserve Legion, they were all young citizens with strong physique and rigorous training, who were personally selected by him. They are familiar with Dionysia’s legion system, and their fighting spirit will not be confused by friendly forces. Instead, he can rely on his tight organization to gain an advantage in the melee.

Moreover, Zantiparis has a hope, a hope that can completely change the entire battle.

Zantiparis's eyes searched for the densely crazed Kautini fighters ahead: red everywhere, which ones are the Nakonian fighters?!

At this time, 500 tribal warriors of Afan Gum, the second largest tribe of Nakonia, were in the middle of the left side of the center of the Kaufini formation.Vasunk was not idle when he retreated. On the one hand, he sent his men to gather the soldiers to prevent them from running away; on the other hand, he also sent his hints.

The continued pursuit of the Dionysian Allied Forces allowed Vasunk to see the determination of the Greeks to fight (which was rarely seen in the previous battles with the Campanias), and he was worried that he would continue to run like this Going forward, in case Cautini’s army really dumps the Dionysian coalition, they will lose a good chance of getting out of Segowani’s control.

Now that it is no longer possible to connect with other Naconian tribes, simply go it alone!...Vasunk decided not to wait any longer. He took a deep breath and resolutely raised the spear in his hand in the air, shouting angrily: "Nakonia, revenge!"

The surrounding guards who had already been prepared immediately shouted, "Nakonia, revenge!!"

Immediately, the other Naconian fighters responded. They shouted and thrust their spears at the fighters of other nearby Kautini tribes.

Before the war, neighboring tribal leaders also privately accepted Segovani’s order to monitor and warn the Naconian tribe, but after the war, the soldiers were focused on retreating, because the Dionysian forces were chasing Anxious, there is no energy to take care of others at the same time, and at the same time, he gradually loses his defense against the Naconian soldiers.

Unexpectedly, a sudden and sudden change, the Afan Gum tribe soldiers attacked all around, and they stabbed a lot of Kautini fighters. The other Kautini fighters were shocked. The first reaction was not a counterattack, but Want to bypass these crazy Naconian fighters and continue to retreat, because they have not forgotten that there are enemies behind.

But they all evaded outside, which naturally blocked the passage of the soldiers retreating behind, making this suddenly chaotic area spread outward.

The Kautini soldiers in the back were only blocked for more than ten seconds, and the coalition soldiers chasing them had arrived, and a bayonet slammed into them.
