Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Klotokatax’s unintentional words flashed through Plintor’s mind like a light. He suddenly widened his eyes and beat his thigh vigorously: “The mercenaries really don’t have the ability to execute such a large scale. A large-scale defeat, but a city-state in Greece often uses such tactics to win!"

Cloto Kataks, who had been in the staff, did not lack military knowledge. He blurted out: "You mean Spartans?!"

"Yes, it's the Spartans! We have been fooled by Agsilius!" Plintors said angrily and eagerly. "It's no wonder their left wing hasn't performed well so far, because they simply It's not a Spartan warrior, just wearing the costume of a Spartan warrior. The real Spartan warrior still confuses us with this little trick on the right-wing Agsilius, who they are most familiar with!"

Klotokatax understood that, he tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart, but his anxious mood still permeated the words: "Quickly... dispatch the messenger, and immediately rush to inform...Keti...Ketisu Commander of the Spartan Army! Tell him that there are Spartans on the opposite side and they are bluffing! Do not pursue! Be careful of their counterattack!"

"We will also send out messengers to notify Trotiras and Oliver's army commanders, so that they can seize the great opportunities of the Spartan fighters' fraudulent defeat and disordered formation and increase their offensive strength. Maybe they can be in our middle. Find a breakthrough with the right wing!"

Plintors’s suggestion was quickly adopted by Cloto Kataks and ordered to go on. At the same time, he gradually recovered his calmness and said with joy, "Master Plintors, thanks to your timely discovery of Spartan Human conspiracy! It now appears that as long as we respond promptly, the Spartans' fraudulent defeat will make the war situation more favorable for us, right?"

Cloto Catax’s words once again stunned Plintors: Is it worth it to take such a big risk but not get a good return with Agcilius’s ability?

He suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Bring the battle map again!"

Taking the plank from the staff, Plintors' sharp eyes quickly swept across the map, and finally focused on the blue vertical bar on the corner, under which was written a small line: 4000-5000 Thai Georgia Allied Forces.

Plintors finally understood where the anxiety in his heart came from: "Before we received news that Taigeya was attacked by the Spartan army and suffered heavy casualties. If not rescued, I am afraid that he will be captured... But this is the case. Bad Tagya can send so many soldiers to fight?!"

Klotokatax's heart was shocked, and he immediately had a terrible thought, and couldn't help but shudder: "What you mean is that... the Taigeya lied to us, they are actually the same as the Spartans. It’s acting, but those corpses..."

"His Royal Highness, we don't have time to investigate the details!" Plintors poked his hand at the map and said anxiously, "Now that Taga's army appears behind the First Army, I can be sure that they will fight Sparta. Together, the army fought back and forth against the First Army. This is the real conspiracy of Agsilius. We must rescue them immediately!"

"Ah... yes, rescue..." Croto Kataks was so nervous that his brain went blank for a moment when he thought of the possible consequences.

"Hurry up and inform the Seventh Army, rush to the left and rescue the First Army!" Plintors eagerly issued orders on his behalf.

The messenger who received the order looked at Croto Kataks subconsciously.

Cloto Kataks waved his hand and said eagerly: "Follow the order issued by the Chief of Staff of Plintors!"

The messenger turned his horse's head and ran to the rear.

Who knows that not long after, Taginus rushed over on horseback and asked: "We have not received news that the Tagas attacked the First Army. These are just your guesses. In case the Tagas simply Without a mutiny, wouldn't our Seventh Legion have to go for nothing! If there are abnormalities in other places at this time, the Seventh Legion will not have time to rescue!"

"If you receive the news that the Tigers have attacked the First Army and go to the rescue, then it will be too late! If something goes wrong, I am willing to take responsibility!" Plintors responded without flinching.

"It was my order." Croto Kataks stared at Taginos, although the volume was not loud, but he couldn't refuse: "Execute it now, Captain Taginos."

Taginos is not good to say more, he glared at Plintors, and then hurriedly delivered a military salute: "Yes, Commander-sir, may Hades bless you!"

Then he returned with a horse, and he could hear his roar from far away: "Brothers, your chance to do meritorious service is here! Be more energetic, follow me, and accelerate to the left wing of the army!"

"Roar! Roar!!! Roar!!!..."

Looking at the billowing dust and smoke raised by the soldiers of the 7th Legion, Cloto Kataks felt calm and said seriously: "Master Printoles, I trust your judgment!"

"Thank you for your trust!" Plintors said with a bitter smile, "I hope my judgment is wrong."

………………………………………………

"Congratulations, Legion Commander, our First Legion has defeated the enemy's right flank!" The captain of the guard excitedly congratulated Ketisus.

Although Kettesus was excited, he was also a little puzzled: "Strange, we thought that the enemy on the opposite side was not easy. The First Army might encounter a hard fight, and there is no obvious sign. Victory will come suddenly. Tris, what do you think is the reason for this?"

Kettesus was asking his staff officer.

"Legion commander, I think... you should inform the companies not to be busy chasing down the enemy, first control your soldiers, maintain the formation, and chase cautiously to prevent accidents!" Putris suggested cautiously.

Ketisus hesitated. After all, he managed to defeat the powerful enemy. At this time, if he did not take advantage of the victory, but slowed down the pace of the chase, he would give the disintegrated enemy a respite. The previous battle was in vain...

At this time, the scouts of the First Army hurriedly rushed to report: "Report to the commander of the army, that Taigeya's army is fast approaching us!"

"These shameless Taigeyas! We didn't come out to help when we were fighting hard before, but now that the enemy is defeated, we ran out to take credit again! I sip!" Ketisus sipped, and looked at the bugle contemptuously. From the rear that kept ringing, through the gray dust and fog, he was able to see the flag held high and the black crowd more clearly, and the front of the team was rapidly spreading to both sides...

Cettisus, who had been on the battlefield for decades, suddenly had a very bad feeling, and he couldn't help but shout: "The Taigeya are too close to us! Tell them immediately and let them Don't follow us, go elsewhere and beat the Spartans!"

After the messenger took the order, Ketisus still murmured a little uneasy: "The situation is a bit wrong. Looking at this posture of the Taigya people, it's not like picking up the bargain, but wanting to charge... …"

"Legion Commander, you still have to be careful. Although Taigeya is already our ally, we don't know it at all and we have never fought together." Putris reminded with some worry.

After listening to the staff officer's words, Ketisus finally stopped hesitating, and immediately issued an order: "Notify the company at the back of the army to stop advancing immediately, line up backwards, and prepare for defense!"

Five or six messengers rode out at the same time and rushed forward to give orders to the company that was still running.

"Legislative commander, some soldiers are defending on the spot, and some soldiers are still chasing...In this way, the strength of our First Corps can be dispersed. It is better to stop the whole army from advancing!" Putris made another suggestion.

Kettesus did not expect that he would face such a difficult choice in the first battle as a legion commander: partial defense and partial pursuit, which can prevent danger and expand the results, but it will lead to the dispersion of troops and there is a great risk; And the entire legion stopped chasing and defended on the spot. What if the Taigeya were not malicious to the first legion?Then the victory you get will fly away, it's a pity...

This is one of the reasons why Ketisus has been reluctant to be the commander of the legion: making choices is too much trouble!

But soon he didn't have to worry anymore, because he saw with his own eyes the messenger who stopped the Taigeya army suddenly turned over and fell off his horse, fell to the ground motionless, with a javelin stuck in his body.

"The Taigeya are the enemy! Immediately sounded the bugle, and the whole army stopped advancing!" Kettesus shouted eagerly.

Originally he and the staff officer led the guards, scouts, mountain reconnaissance squads, messenger squads, and trumpeter squads...to follow the First Corps. Now the situation is critical, and they are desperately rushing forward. The command center will directly face the impact of the Taigeya army.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu the same time the sound of the first legion's bugle, the Taigeyaya also let out a loud roar, accelerated the speed of advancement.At this time, they were no more than 200 meters away from the company behind the First Army.

The officers of these companies and detachments received the order of Ketisus, and took the time to gather some scattered soldiers, reorganize the queue, and where there was still time to form a unified line of defense, countless Taigeyas swarmed over like a tide. , Rushed into the first legion like a sieve, and seemed to drown all the Dionian soldiers.

"Shield defense!"

"Brothers, don't panic! Stick to the defense, our reinforcements will come soon!"

But in this chaos, the hysterical shouts of the first army team officers continued to sound, and the small phalanxes stood like rocks in the tidewater.
