Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 1177 Battle of Tiger (3)

Accompanied by the roar of the soldiers of the Dionian Legion, nearly 20,000 javelins were thrown out, covering the sky.The charge of the Spartan soldiers ceased instantly, followed by constant screams.

The undecided Spartan soldiers had just removed the bucklers, and were shocked to find that countless javelins had come.

Although before the battle, Agassilauste reminded the mercenary generals to be careful that the heavy infantry of the Dionian legion would throw javelins when approaching, but the mercenary had never had experience with the Dionian. We are still not prepared.

While the front formation of the Spartan army was disrupted by the javelin rain, the Legionnaires shouted the name of Hades and launched an assault. The four-mile-long Dionian army slammed into it. The Spartan Allied Forces.

The soldiers of the Sixth Legion were suffocating because they heard from the team officers that the commander let the Fourth Army fight the Spartans on the right flank, the First Army was the focus of the attack on the left, and their Sixth Army was in The middle lane is just a check.

Why can our Sixth Army only do containment?!... the soldiers vowed to let the young prince see how powerful the Sixth Legion was, so they roared and poured their whole body power on the left hand long shield, and slammed into the enemy who was trying to regain the formation, the right hand stabbing. The gun lightning generally penetrates the cracks opened by the collision, and accurately pierces the enemy hiding behind the buckler...

The unreserved full-scale offensive of the Sixth Army soldiers from the beginning made the front row of the Spartan Army, which was disorganized due to the javelin attack, even more chaotic.

The soldiers of the Fourth Legion had reservations about their charge, because their opponents were well-known Spartans, and they had to be prepared.But when they rushed forward and started fighting, the Spartans' counterattack was not sharp, and they also appeared passive under the swift attack of the soldiers. Although this made the soldiers relieved, they were a little disappointed in their hearts.

On the left flank, the soldiers of the First Legion shoulder the important task of winning the battle. They also attacked with full force. However, the mercenaries who had just been attacked by the javelin rain slowed down the rear side relatively tacitly, greatly alleviating the First Legion. The soldiers' charge, and they had fierce counterattacks from time to time in the steady defense, causing some casualties to the front soldiers of the First Corps, forcing the soldiers to stop advancing and start patiently fighting with the enemy.

In general, the Dionian army relied on the long-range attack of the light infantry and the javelin attack of the heavy infantry, and it took the lead from the beginning, making the Spartan army seem a little passive in the frontal confrontation.

But Agsilius had expected to thicken the columns of the left and center army formations before the war, relying on a stronger pushing force to withstand the impact of the legionaries, and gradually stabilize the battle.

When the battle between the two sides returned to a balance of power, the scouts rushed back to the command center and reported to Cloto Kataks that the cavalry on both sides had defeated the Spartan cavalry and were pursuing them.

Cloto Kataks finally showed a smile on his nervous face. Although he knew that even if the cavalry won, the small number of cavalry would not play a big role in the battle of tens of thousands of people, but it was after all. good sign.

He was about to say something to Plintors to relieve the tension in his heart. Suddenly he heard the vague bugle sound, and he was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong.

But the trumpet continued, becoming clearer and clearer.

He subconsciously looked around the battlefield filled with morning mist and noisy, unable to distinguish the source of the trumpet.

At this time, Plintors had already issued an order to Mukru with a serious expression: "This is not our bugle! You immediately send out a few staff officers and scatter around to find out the source of the bugle as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Muklu also realized the seriousness of the problem and rushed to perform the task immediately.

"Master Priintoles, will it be the Spartans' reinforcements coming?!" Cloto Kataks asked very worriedly.

Printors turned around, pointed to the rear, calmly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if Spartan's reinforcements come, we can defeat him!"

There is also a large phalanx at the rear and on both sides of the command center, including not only the 3,000 heavy infantry of the 7th Army, but also three light armoured brigade and mountain reconnaissance brigade of other corps, totaling 7,000. Thors took the entire army of 14 troops as a reserve. This decision was indeed too bold, but now it gave Cloto Kataks confidence.

Not long after the staff set out, the scouts returned: "My lord commander, about four to five thousand soldiers rushed out of Taga City, and they kept blowing their bugles and marched toward the battlefield!"

"It's the bugle played by the Taga!" Cloto Kataks suddenly realized.

"We saved Taigeya, but the Taigeya didn't send anyone out to contact us. They thanked us. The battle started for a while before sending troops out..." Mukru complained softly.

"The Taigeyas were attacked by the Spartan army before, and they should have suffered a lot. Moreover, such a large-scale battle took place at their doorstep. It is understandable to remain vigilant..." Croto Kataks also For the sake of the Taigeya, he explained a few words, and then said excitedly: "Now they not only participated in the battle, but also sent so many soldiers. This will definitely help us win the victory as soon as possible!"

"Get the map of the battle at this moment!" Plintors said.

A staff officer immediately handed him a wooden board, which was a brief battlefield situation map drawn on the basis of various battlefield information that Chastity had detected before.

Plintors took a look, and immediately his face sank: "Our cavalry has defeated the Spartan cavalry, you have not corrected it in time!"

"Yet...not too late."

"The battlefield information changes rapidly, and once it is slow, it will be slow again and again. How can we give the commander a good support!" Plintors severely criticized.

"My lord, I was wrong, I'll change it right away!" The staff officer lowered his head and wanted to get back the plank in shame.

Plintors didn't give it to him right away. Instead, he took the wooden plank and asked the scout in a deep voice: "Where is Tagya's army?"

Today’s Dionian scouts are all specially trained. They not only have good riding skills, strong sense of direction, sharp eyesight, good at observing and estimating the number of troops, but also good at drawing and drawing... so he just took a look On the wooden board, he pressed his finger up without hesitation: "They are here!"

Plintors took a closer look: Taga's army was behind the left wing of the Dionian army, not far to the south of Taga City.

"His Royal Highness, we should immediately send someone to inform the Tagaians to go around the back of the Spartan army and attack Spartan's right flank." Printoles suggested to Cloto Kataks. , Making gestures on the wooden board.

Klotokatax understood immediately. He looked around and said: "To show respect for the Taigeya, Mukru, please go and run."

"Yes."

"Wait! Let the guide of Mandinia named Carrizenos go with you, so that it will be easier to communicate with the Tagaians."

It should be said that Cloto Kataks considered very thoughtful, and Mukru gladly took his orders.

Plintors looked to the north thoughtfully, because the dust and fog obstructed his vision, he could not see the Taigeya army two miles away.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't remember where this uneasiness came from.

Agsilius also heard the bugle that kept ringing. He stood up again and looked to the north. Waves finally appeared on that Gujing Wubo face: "The Taigeya finally came out. Our soldiers should also take action."

Since the battle, Max, who is at the forefront of the army, is more and more surprised. The soldiers under him have tried their best, but the enemy on the opposite side not only keeps the wind from falling, but he can feel it through the narrow eyes of the Corinthian helmet. The indifference and bloodthirsty revealed in those sharp eyes, it seems that they still have more energy.

Where did the Spartans recruit these soldiers?so smart!...Max realized that the First Army would go through a hard fight.

At this moment, he heard a roar from the opposite side, and the roar became louder and louder. He subconsciously tightened the long shield, and the opponent soldiers shouted: "Pay attention to defense! Pay attention to defense!..."

But what happened next was completely beyond his expectation, and the enemies on the opposite side turned and fled amidst the roar.

Although the front-line soldiers of the First Corps were a little startled, they immediately cheered and pursued.

………………………………………………

As soon as Mukru left on horseback, the rear command center of the Dionian army received good news: the Spartan army was defeated on the right flank and the First Army was pursuing it.

"Great! The First Legion deserves to be the strongest legion in the kingdom. It seems that we have already won this battle!" Cloto Catxton was dancing with excitement, and the tension and worries before had disappeared. Without a trace, he even suggested: "Master Priintoles, do you want to send out all the reserve teams? Otherwise, the battle will be over if they haven't made any achievements."

But instead of being delighted, Plintors was a little confused: "Weird! According to the previous report by the scout, Spartan’s right-wing defense was tenacious, and the First Army did not take advantage. Without any signs, what? Suddenly they were defeated?"

"Do you suspect that they are bluffing?!" Croto Kataks was startled, and then shook his head: "It's impossible! In such a big battle, thousands of people bluffed at the same time, even our Legionnaires. It’s also difficult to control well. Carelessness can easily lead to the collapse of the entire formation, not to mention the improvised mercenaries."
