Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Therefore, after the arrival of the two brigades, Asitmis took out the combat plan that had been thought out, and discussed and perfected with the two brigade captains, and then began to execute.

The light armor brigade rushed to the front, the light infantry brigade separated from them and walked second, while the cavalry stayed in place, waiting for the two brigades to entrap the enemy, and then they went back to the side of the enemy. To carry out a siege attack.

The soldiers of the Light Armor Brigade of the Eighth Army held the leather shield diagonally above their heads to guard against the attack of the opposing flying stone, and rushed towards the enemy opposite with a wide front.

Most of the light armored brigades, composed of the Sikels who had become citizens of Dionysia, traveled fast. The Balearic stone throwers had just thrown large lead shots for two rounds. The light armoured brigades with minor casualties had already Rushed to the front.

Most Lusitania javelin throwers did not seize this opportunity and took the opportunity to throw their javelins. Because this heavy javelin with a hook is not easy to manufacture, they each carried three, as early as in the previous light infantry battle. Already consumed almost, there is only one left in their hands, they will use it as a weapon to cope with the next battle.

The Lusitania javelinist didn't move, but the Celtic warriors couldn't help it anymore. They roared, holding a wooden shield in their left, holding a large sword in their right, and a swarm of bees rushed up.

The Dionysian light armoured soldiers saw a group of big men with disheveled hair, fierce faces, and naked upper bodies. They ran like horses, roared like thunder, and the high swords shone with cold light.According to the tactics of the light armored soldiers in their usual training, they should take the initiative to step forward, stay close to the enemy, and exert the power of the dagger.However, many light armoured soldiers were captured by the opponent's momentum, and he did not dare to get close with hesitation.

Just between the flashlights, the Celtic warriors rushed to their eyes, and the big sword was cut with a whisper.

The light armor lifted the leather shield to resist.

"Bloating!" It was as if a big stone hit the shield. The entire left arm felt a sudden shock. The momentary numbness made them unable to lift up at all, and then resisted with a leather shield, and could only back away.

Some Celtic warriors even cut their swords directly into the leather shield, almost hurting the armor of the light armor.

One can imagine the shock in the hearts of the light armoured soldiers, they retreated involuntarily.

The Celtic warriors are as tall as their legs and long, like the maggots of the bones. The big swords in their hands are continuously chased, and even the skin shields of some light armoured soldiers are shredded, and some light armored soldiers are cut, because the Celtic warriors use The great sword's power is amazing, and the wounds are extremely terrifying. The wounded soldiers lay on the ground and wailed, which also affected the morale of the light armoured soldiers. If it is not the stringent Dionysian military law, some soldiers may have already fleeed.

The light armor captain was anxious like an ant on the hot pot, complaining about the mistake of the scout riding, "Where is the light infantry, it is terrible than the heavy infantry!" While wringing his brain, thinking about the countermeasures: "Spread! Run! Lure the enemy!"

The role of the Dionysian light armoured soldiers is never to fight in an array, but to use the lightness of the footsteps, to attack the enemy's weakness, to chase down the defeated soldiers, so speed training is the key point in military training, and armed long-distance running is a very common item. one.

The team officers just began to relay the order, and the light armoured soldiers, who were barely supported under the offensive pressure of the Celtics, immediately turned and ran.

But what they did not expect was that the Celtics were five big and three thick, and the big swords and wooden shields in their hands were heavier than them, but their running ability was not weaker than them. Even if they ran full strength, they could not pull each other out. distance.

The light armoured soldiers who are always in shock will certainly not know that these Celtic warriors live in the mountains of northern Liberia, mainly living on hunting and looting, and chasing prey among the mountains for a long time, so that they have good foot strength and endurance .

But the combative and irritable Celtic fighters obviously had no sense of the big picture. Most fighters rushed to chase the Dionysian light armoured soldiers and forgot what they should have done.

The Balearic trooper lost its protection, and the 8th Legion Light Infantry Brigade has been pushed closer. The battle between the trooper and the light infantry is staged again, but this time the distance between the two sides is much closer, and even some Dionysian standards The gunman saw that Balearic Stone Thrower had only a dagger with him, and he simply held the javelin, braved the stone rain, and rushed up, wanting to fight close.

Fortunately, there are nearly 300 Lusitania javelin throwers, mixed with the Balearic troopers. They rushed out in time. They also used javelins as spears. The Lusitanias were obviously much stronger. Relying on their height and strength, they have an advantage in the fight.

For Balearic stone throwers, their advantage is not only long-range coverage attacks, but close-range precision throwing is also their housekeeping skill.On the battlefield where the two sides fought together, they dispersed to find the target of attack, throwing Dionysian archers and javelins only 30 to 40 meters away with large lead shots, and their lethality increased. Many times.

Therefore, when Asitmis, the leader of the 4th Cavalry Regiment in the distance, saw the light armor was being chased by the alien soldiers, the light infantry was in the downwind, and there were soldiers falling to the ground, he was very anxious and he immediately urged the cavalry to accelerate Moving forward, while the Balearic trooper's attention was attracted to the light infantry brigade, it went around their side and crushed it.

……………………………………

"Carthage also retained an alien warrior of several hundred people behind the battle line to protect their Balearic pelmen, and our light armored brigade was repulsed!..." Adj. When he heard the news in his mouth, he was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at Leotizides: "Master Commander, the Carthaginians have also learned to use the reserve team! Now the Kamalina obviously have some support. Live, what should we do?"

Leotizides didn't seem to hear it, sitting like a sculpture, but his gaze kept staring at his right front: there was the Eighth Legion he had high hopes for, but the violent black wave was encountered The reef, leading to the slow forward speed, is probably related to the casualties of the Eighth Army after Minoa, the addition of a lot of reserve troops, and the decline in combat effectiveness. Of course, it can be seen that it is against the enemy The Phoenician-Numibian mixed infantry is not a weak army...all are the weak performance of the Carthage army in the battle of Minoa, which led to his subconscious fighting against the Carthage army this time Judgment error...

In such a critical mind, Leotizides involuntarily looked for various reasons that led to his misjudgment.Since he joined the fight in adulthood (including the fight in Sparta), he has not experienced failure so far, so it is inevitable that he will be a little sick.

He tugged the reins with both hands and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Bring me a long shield and a spear!"

The guard behind him immediately handed him his hand.

He reached for it, dismounted, waved a few times, then raised the bayonet and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

According to the "Dionysian Army Law": the head of the regiment has a 50-man guard, and the regional commander is a 100-man guard.

As a commander, Leotizides should have a 100-member guard, but he actually has only one legion. In order to let the soldiers invest as much as possible in the battle, he did not increase his guard establishment. These 50 The guard immediately responded to Leotizides's call.

He carried a shield and carried a gun, and took the lead to start striding forward. With each step, his body's familiarity with the shield gun increased by one point: yes, he is not just a general, he is also an excellent Warrior, he is the only one in the Spartan royal family who has participated in the brutal Agorg training since he was a child. He also astounded Diao with excellent skills in the Dionysian boot camp. The senior team member of Niah!

Just as he began to swell with blood, a warhorse sprinted out in front of him, blocking him in front of him, and Mukru shouted immediately: "Master Prosius, you are the commander, please stay with you Command the whole army on the post, don't leave without permission!"

Leotizides looked at him coldly: "I can no longer command the whole army. The only thing I can do now is to join the battle and increase the hope of a victory for us! Don't delay my time, let it go!"

"Admiral Prosius!" Mukruk remained motionless, and his tone was firm: "The front page of the "Dionysian Military Law" clearly stated,'Leaders, you can't be proud of victory, not be discouraged by failure, Don’t be stunned by anger, don’t be weakened by sorrow... like a god, rule out all external interference, calmly analyze the battle situation, this is the quality necessary for a great general!'

Lord Prosius, you are the Sicilian commander of the kingdom. Your responsibility is to protect the safety of the entire Sicilian territory, and you should not be too concerned about the defeat of one or two battles!You gave up your duty. In case the battle really fails, who will command our soldiers to retreat safely?!Who will minimize the casualties of the soldiers?!If the Eighth Army suffered heavy losses, would we still have the power to guard Sicily?!..."

Mukruk's words were like the morning bell, leaving Leotizides stunned on the spot, his face cloudy and uncertain...

After a moment, he silently returned the shield and gun to the guard, and then turned his horse, shaking the reins.

Under his control, the war horse began to trot forward to the right.

"Sir, you want to--" Mukruk was startled, thinking his advice didn't work.

"I'm going to the right-wing governorship. At the last minute, whoever wins or who loses may not." Leotizides said with a cold face, driving the horse to gallop north.

Mukruk felt slightly relaxed and urged the horse to catch up.
