Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 1180 Battle of Tiger (6)

This sentence is not only to praise the Dionian fighter in battle, but also to comfort himself.

That night, he ventured to sneak into Taga City by himself, and through Pausanias, he gathered the members of the city who were closest to Sparta.He first told them that "the entire Greek anti-Dionian coalition is about to be established and that the Dionian army will fail", and then told them that "the Spartan army will help them regain the leadership of Tygona." At the same time, he also made a promise: Spartans will never kill a Taigea citizen indiscriminately!

It was precisely because of his personal risk that the congressmen finally agreed to his plan, so on the second day the Spartan army suddenly surrounded the city of Taga, and when Taga’s soldiers went up to defend the city. The Spartans quietly opened a city gate, causing the Spartan army to rush into the city and massacre the anti-Spartan congressmen.

As Tagya has always implemented an oligarchy under the support of Sparta, ordinary citizens have no power, and the pro-Spartan nobles regained power and soon controlled the situation in the city.In addition, they began to play the role of defending and siege of the city with the Spartan army. Since the entire city was surrounded and sealed off, even dissatisfied people could not pass the news.

And considering that if this battle fails, Taigeya will be retaliated by the Dionians, so the pro-Spartans also made a promise to Agsilius: they will send all of Taigeya’s Citizens who can fight attack the Dionians.

Now that the trap that Agsilius deliberately set for the Dionian army has finally succeeded, he is finally relieved. He can imagine how the next battle will develop: Dionian has already run away. The left-wing soldiers are under the front and back attack of the Spartans and the Taigeya army, even if they have combat effectiveness, they will soon be defeated.Then, the Spartan fighters took the victory and swept through the middle, finally winning the whole battle.

Agsilius did not indulge himself for too long. He knew very well that the Dionian army liked to leave a part of the army in preparation for the battle, so he immediately said to the messenger: "Immediately notify the Thracians, Let them follow the original plan to attack the flank of Dionia's right wing!"

Although Agsilius firmly believes that before Dionia’s reserve forces arrive, Dionia’s left wing will be defeated by two sides, but he is still more cautious and prepares for Dioni The Asian Right wing also stabbed, completely disrupting the judgment of Commander Dionia.Because he has learned from the information sent by the Arcadians that his previous strategy has taken effect, Leotichides has been transferred, and the new commander of Dionia is still the son of King Davos. , I heard that this young man regarded as the heir to the throne by Daves has no command experience. Facing such a complicated battlefield situation, I am afraid it is difficult to make a more correct response.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and prayed to Zeus, hoping to give Sparta a big victory to reverse Sparta's current plight.

Mukru rode his horse and ran wildly. Halfway through the journey, he saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him. Countless soldiers in black helmets and guns rushed towards him.

Mukru hurriedly pulled his horse to get out of the way, and then rushed towards the place where the purple red hat and tasseled helmet was faintly shaking in front of him. He rushed to the front to see that he was the person looking for. He hurriedly shouted: Commander North, where are you going to take your troops?!"

"I want to lead the Seventh Army to the left wing." Taginos's tone was still uncomfortable: "Your Chief of Staff suspects that the Taga Army has rebelled. Let me immediately rush to rescue the First Army!"

"The Taigeya army has indeed rebelled. They have invaded the array of the 1st Army from the rear. The situation is very critical!"

"Damn it, I was right by Plintors!" Taginos exclaimed, and immediately doubled the volume: "Brothers, the First Army is in danger and must be saved by us. Give me a quicker pace, whoever runs slower, I kick someone in the ass!"

"Roar!!!..." the soldiers shouted in unison, the sound of footsteps was louder, and the dust mist was louder.

Carrizenos, a Mandinlian, looked at the Dionian soldiers who were excited and passing in front of him. He seemed to have a little confidence in this battle, who had no hope of this battle.

And just when he was stunned, Mukru had already thrown him off a lot and went straight to the command center.

Seeing Klotokataks wearing a black draped hat and tasseled helmet from a distance, Mukru waved and shouted: "His Royal Highness, the Taigeya army has rebelled and attacked the First Army from the rear!"

Although he was persuaded by Plintors before that Cloto Kataks still had a hint of luck in his heart. Now it has been confirmed that he changed the color in an instant and felt nervous and uneasy, but he still tried his best to pretend to be calm. The trembling voice asked, "Master Priintoles, thanks to your suggestion, we dispatched reinforcements in time. Do you think... our left wing can withstand it?"

In the end, Cloto Kataks still couldn't hold back, and asked his concerns.

Printors saw his thoughts and immediately comforted: "His Royal Highness, the "Dionian Military Law" once had strict regulations,'When chasing a ruined army, heavy infantry must try their best to maintain the squadrons and units. As a model of the entire army, the First Army has always been resolute in implementing military laws. Even if it is hurriedly encountered by the Spartan army from both sides, it will inevitably be able to confront the enemy with its phalanx, and it will not be defeated. On the contrary, our army is accustomed to fighting independently in units, and maybe it can have an advantage in such a melee!"

"That's good." Cloto Kataks was skeptical.

"His Royal Highness, I have one more suggestion."

"Please tell me."

"The Spartans set traps here to fight with us. They are fully prepared to make us more passive. We cannot be led by the enemy. We must regain the initiative on the battlefield to win the final battle." After receiving the news that the First Army had been flanked back and forth, Plintors finally made up his mind to implement the plan he had been brewing just now. He solemnly said with a solemn expression: "I suggest sending three light armoured brigade Going north, bypassing the left flank, attacking the flank of the Spartan army, doing this not only to further rescue the First Army, but also to eliminate Spartan's own power as much as possible.

There are not many young and middle-aged citizens who can fight in Spartan. To them, each one is precious. Therefore, in previous battles, they used more of allied troops and mercenaries. This time the battle involved the rise and fall of city states. They just dispatched so many Spartans.

If we pose to attack its right flank with all its strength, the Spartan commander will surely carry out the rescue with all its strength.After the light armoured brigade is dispatched for a while, we will send the last reserve team-the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, to attack the left flank of the Spartan army, thus establishing the victory in one fell swoop!"

Croto Kataks listened carefully, thought about it, and said firmly: "Then follow your suggestions!"

………………………………………………

The Taigya did not expect that they would join the Spartan warriors in the Dionian array so quickly. In their original vision, the Dionians’ left wing was facing the fierceness of them and the Spartan warriors. Under attack, they would soon be defeated, and then they took advantage of the situation to chase the defeated soldiers, and finally won the entire battle.

But the reality was beyond their expectations. Dionia's left wing did not collapse. Instead, it shrank into a small phalanx and continued to fight. At the time, they did not think about it and rushed into Dior, who seemed to be about to collapse. In the Niah formation, it didn't take long to find that he seemed to be in a quagmire.

Although like the Spartans, most of the soldiers who participated in the war were heavy infantry soldiers, but unlike the Spartans who had been trained hard since they were young, they were better at frontal combat wearing Corinthian helmets, and they were crowded and small here. They seem too clumsy in the space.

To make matters worse, the First Army’s pursuit of "the defeated soldiers did not take long, but because of the attack of the Taigeya, it quickly stopped advancing and switched to on-site defense. At this time, the units and companies of the First Army in the rear did not Running away completely, when forming a small phalanx, not only the formation is complete, but the distance between the phalanx and the phalanx is relatively close. This is the basis for the First Corps to use the phalanx tactics of the unit.

Although Ketisus was not decisive in giving orders at the beginning, he was experienced in warfare after all. He did not panic and hide in any phalanx with his entourage. Instead, he saw the direction and led them into the back of the formation. In a phalanx in the center, when the Taigeya soldiers rushed in like a tide, he made the trumpeters sound their bugles continuously.

Although the nearby phalanx soldiers could not see the surrounding situation clearly, they could hear the familiar bugle sound, as if ships sailing in the night saw the lighthouse and began to move consciously in the direction where the bugle sound came from. Although the movement of each phalanx was very slow, their concerted action made the Taigeya soldiers crowded between the phalanx feel more difficult to move.

Before long, a greater disaster struck, and the 3,000 infantrymen of the 7th Army led by Taginus finally arrived, and they immediately launched a fierce attack on the soldiers of Taga.

The rear of the Taigeya army is mainly light-armored soldiers. They could not face the heavy infantry. What's more, the soldiers of the Dionian Legion who killed like wolves and tigers were quickly defeated, but they were defeated. The attack line that the Seventh Legion had deployed long ago drove the dense crowd ahead, not only making the Taigeya army chaotic, but also making the already crowded space even narrower.
