Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece
Vol 8 Chapter 36: Dionys vs Rome (5)
"Report... The head of the report army, the seventh battalion... has arrived all the way, waiting for your order!" Seventh Captain Satruth gasped and bowed to Amintas.
It was unexpected that the Light Infantry Brigade of the First Army arrived first. After all, they don't have a armor, they don't have heavy weapons, so they move quickly. In fact, when they received the "quick march" command, there were only about seven miles left in Amintas, and the speed of seven miles was more than an hour. The speed was not fast, mainly to maintain the integrity and possession of personnel and formations. A certain amount of physical strength, so that you can immediately enter the battle after arrival.
Amintas glanced at the soldiers, all sweating, but the spirit was still very shaken. He nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Brothers, you are coming right! The enemy is in front, waiting for us to go. Eat them and play the name of our first legion of the Dionysian here! Do you have this confidence?!"
"There are!!!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
"The staff, let's make arrangements." Amintas said immediately.
Printoles did not swear, took a look at the marked board, and then pointed to the southwest, said to the seventh captain, Satruth: "In the front four miles, there are more than 300 Roman heavy infantry, More than 700 cavalry and nearly 2,000 Roman light infantry. The First Cavalry Corps was under tremendous pressure to stop their retreat. You immediately rushed with the seventh brigade to help the First Cavalry Corps drag the enemy and wait for the successor. Arrived and annihilated it!"
"Yes!" Satruth turned and shouted: "Brothers, keep running with me!"
Under the guidance of the detective, the seventh brigade soldier ran to the southwest.
"Printoles, your previous suggestion is correct. As long as you seize this bunch of enemies, I don't believe that the Romans dare not come out to rescue them!" The seventh brigade rushed to let Amintas feel a little Relaxed and began to praise Printoles, knowing that Pruttus suggested to him that he "abandoned the interception of all the Rome food raising forces, and that the concentrated cavalry blocked the nearest to them, in fact, the closest to the first legion. At the time of these Roman squadrons, Amintas hesitated for a while, but now not only stopped more than 300 Roman heavy infantry, but also let the light infantry and cavalry of Rome be tempted, more than 3,000 Romans If he can be pinned, he will not be out of Rome.
Printos smiled and said nothing.
At this time, the adjutant Aristonos once again shouted: "The head of the army, another unit arrived!"
I saw the dust in the south, this time the eighth brigade (the light armored brigade)...
..........................................
Initially, the various companies of the Cavalry Corps successfully blocked the Rome squadrons who raised the grain, and gave them some killings. It can be said that they won a lot of results, but the arrival of the Roman light infantry and cavalry reversed the passiveness of the Roman soldiers. Beaten the situation.
The Roman Light Infantry consists of archers and javelinmen who not only have a longer range than the Jewish cavalry's javelin, but they also have more stable and accurate shots. The speed of the Dionian cavalry was limited by the Roman cavalry. Even though the Dionian cavalry wanted to cross the heart to drive the horse, the Roman team was mixed with infantry, making this adventure impossible. On the contrary, it is easy to fall into the encirclement of the enemy.
The combination of the Roman heavy infantry, the cavalry, and the light infantry led to a more serious death and injury of the Dionyrian cavalry. Although now, in the Kingdom of Dionia, the cavalry is not as precious as it used to be. The cavalry of the First Corps is mainly from the Britti area, where the people are good at raising horses and riding horses, so the preparation of the First Legion The number of cavalry is enough to form a legion. How can Leeds, who is the head of the army, not feel bad about the loss of the cavalry? This is the soldier he has cultivated hard! And in this strange place, the cavalry is difficult to replenish after the loss.
In the face of the current bad situation, the head of the First Cavalry Corps, Ledes, was hesitant to cancel the order to "block the return of Roman soldiers to the camp."
Fortunately, Amintas’s order was sent in time so that Ledes could concentrate all the cavalry on the three Roman squadrons in the southwest.
To this end, Ledes also let the cavalry intentionally drive and force the three Rome food raising units to join together, which is more conducive to his unified command of the first cavalry army to intercept the enemy.
In the face of nearly 2,000 Dienian cavalry galloping around, the Roman soldiers did not dare to act rashly.
But not long after, the arrival of a large number of Roman light infantry and cavalry changed the stalemate.
The Romans were centered on heavy infantry, with light infantry on the periphery and cavalry on both sides, ready to intercept the Diorian cavalry. With such a formation, the Romans began to move slowly toward the camp.
Under the attack of the Roman light infantry javelin and bow and arrow, the Denia Cavalry who stopped in front could not throw the javelin, and entered the range of the Roman light infantry bow and arrow. The flying arrows made the Dionyrian cavalry. At the same time as the arrow, the Roman cavalry will also rush to cover up, killing for a while, and returning quickly, so as not to fall into the encirclement of the Dionysian cavalry.
The Romans repeatedly used this tactic repeatedly, causing the Dionysian First Cavalry Corps to suffer a lot.
Ledes did not dare to let the cavalry block in front, but instead harassed behind the side. The roar of the Romans was so tight that the Dionysian cavalry did not dare to be too close under the threat of bows and arrows.
Looking at the battlefield where the dust is everywhere and the horses are constantly humming, Ledes once again falls into a hesitant dilemma. After seeing a battle, Yu Guang immediately squats on a wounded person. Under the traction of another cavalry, he is going to his place. At the back of the office.
The wounded's face made him feel familiar. He urged him to look at it immediately. It was the first captain of the First Cavalry Corps Pebarius. His full name was Sobokos Pebarius, he was Ledes. The oldest son, the eldest son of the kingdom hero Soberkos (Since Daves named his son Dave Klotto Kataks, his practice gradually became popular in the kingdom, absolutely Most citizens have abandoned the Greek tradition of having only names and no surnames, and began to use their names as surnames for future generations.
At this moment, the young man is closed and unconscious.
"The head of the army, the captain's horse was shot by a bow and arrow, and he fell into a coma after falling off the horse." The cavalry who brought him back said.
"Take care of him!" After Leddes groaned, he looked back again and finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath: "Command, cancel the interception of the Romans -"
"呜!!!..." Suddenly there was a high-pitched military sound.
"The head of the army, is the first legion! The first legion they arrived!!" The cavalry next to him shouted excitedly.
Upon hearing the familiar sound of the military, Ledes looked to the front, through the diffuse dust and fog, faintly saw the golden light shining on the flag of the Dionia.
At this moment, the commander of Amintas also arrived: "Reporting the head of the Ledes Army, the seventh battalion of the First Corps has arrived, is on the way back to the enemy, and approached the enemy."
"Only the seventh battalion?!" Leddes was slightly disappointed.
The commander again emphasized: "The other brigades are coming in succession!"
Leders thought a little, then ordered: "Let the squadrons immediately stop harassing the enemy, open the distance from the enemy, slow down the speed of the horse, only need to monitor the enemy's actions, and at the same time let the east side Encircle the circle to avoid being accidentally injured by a long-range attack by the First Legion."
..........................................
The soldiers of the Seventh Brigade saw the battlefield of the cavalry in front and the dusty sky. Although the body was exhausted, the spirit was extremely excited and the pace at the foot was also accelerating.
As soon as he approached the battlefield, the captain Satyrus issued an order to "stop moving forward."
"Goose form!" He then ordered again.
Upon hearing the wave of the army and the flag, the soldiers immediately opened the distance between each other. The whole team stretched and stretched toward both sides, and soon the whole army array showed a concave arc.
At this time, the cavalry of the First Cavalry Corps came: "The brothers of the First Legion, we have let the front."
The light infantry commander immediately ordered again: "The first company is ready!"
The formation of the Light Infantry Brigade of each legion is somewhat special~www.readwn.com~ It has only four company teams, the first and second company are archers, the third and fourth company are javelin soldiers, and each company has 250 people. Five teams are formed. However, the Light Infantry Brigade of the First Legion is very special. It has only three company companies. The second company is an archer. The third company is a javelin soldier. The first company is a stone thrower. This is the only unique unit of the Dionya. A total of 350 people, all of whom are born in Rhode Island and are good at throwing stones.
The soldiers of the first company stepped forward to the front of the team with a loose formation while untiring the slings tied around their waists.
Satyrus has been watching the front, judging the distance between his own team and the enemy, this is the basic skills necessary for the commander of the Diaonian light infantry, and Zeng Yuanzheng Persian, from the Thrace Light Shield He is more experienced and has outstanding achievements, so he will be in the position of the first light infantry commander of the First Army of Daionia.
Although the Romans saw the front of the Dionysian cavalry on the road, they still did not speed up, because the Dionysian cavalry was still surrounded, which forced them to maintain a close formation.
Seeing that the Romans were only about 300 meters away from their brigade, Sartius raised his right hand: "The first company attack!"
The stone-throwing soldiers took out an egg-sized lead shot from the leather pocket at the waist. Compared with the stone throwing soldiers ten years ago, they are already shotguns. The lead pellets of the center can not only fly farther. And more lethal.
