Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 8 Chapter 40: Dionys vs Rome (9)

Amintas paused, and Printors reminded him in a timely manner: "Don't forget the Roman soldiers who just retired!"

Apostle Aristonos said with a little disdain: "Would you have the courage to fight and the courage to fight?"

"Don't underestimate the enemy." That is to say, Amintas did not think that the defeated Roman soldiers could be reorganized so quickly, but he still left a point of caution: "Let the third brigade be in the middle!"

After the order was issued, he looked back at the eighth battalion soldiers who were not far behind.

If they are also heavy infantry, just fine! At this time, Amintas had such an idea in his heart, and it was also seen that the Romans’ active offense put pressure on him.

"Fall people are immediately sent to urge the people of Wales to let them speed up!" Amintas has not had a relaxed mood before.

After Steve Loss led the company to retreat from the front line, it still basically maintained its original formation, but the soldiers mostly sat on the ground and gasped.

The soldiers had just slowed down a bit, and the captain of the captain, Coussus, came to order: "The brothers of the first brigade, in the current order of the formation, immediately turn to the left and meet the enemies!"

The soldiers smashed their sore legs with a spur gun and picked up the long shield that had already felt heavy. Under the command of the captain Stewaros and the captain, they followed the other company soldiers and took the whole first. The formation of the brigade, rotating to the left, and then striding forward.

Just arrived at the edge of the left wing, the soldiers saw that the Romans were not far from them.

And these fast-moving Roman soldiers saw that there were already enemy reinforcements in front of them, and they kept on the whole team and arranged them into a large square battle. Instead, they directed the small square formed by the squadrons to Dionys. The array of the first team of Asia has just stood up and launched the charge.

This kind of offensive that is often seen in the training of the Dionian Legion actually appeared on the other side, and Steve Loss felt both ridiculous and nervous.

"Shield defense!" There is no way for him to issue this order. The soldiers are exhausted and unable to launch a charge to offset the opponent's charge.

At the forefront of the Dionysian soldiers with the entire left arm hanging up the long shield, sideways stabilizing the horse, while the captains also loudly reminded them: "Change the short sword! Put on the short sword!... ”

In the case of the soldiers being exhausted and the muscles are sore, the use of the stab gun will not only reduce the accuracy of the puncture, but also cause the stab gun to slip backwards when the opponent collides, thus scratching the palm and affecting the weapon. usage of. The short sword is more conducive to control, especially when the enemy wants to use force to get close to the crushing, it is more useful. This is the experience summed up in countless battles. It was incorporated into the Military Law by the Department of Military Affairs of the Department of Denia, so the team officers can use it in time.

The six roaring squadrons are all composed of young soldiers who run powerfully and scream.

In fact, most of the soldiers of the First Legion are at the age of twenty-five or six years old, and it is also the period of the most physical strength of their lives. They only started from the Serscher in the morning and have not rested until now. Excessive physical strength, naturally can not be compared with each other.

The squadron of Rome slammed into the shield of Dionia, like a boulder bombarding the wall, causing a sag in the shield.

The Roman soldiers smashed each other's shield defenses with a strong rushing force, and the spears in their hands smashed toward the enemies who were retreating.

The Dionysian soldiers used all their strength to resist the enemy's charge, and then followed the soldiers in the rear to slowly retreat to ease the opponent's strong offensive. While using the long shield to protect the whole body, the right-hand dagger from time to time Puncture in the gap, giving the enemy who dares to be close to the violent attack to kill.

The Romans attacked fiercely, the front soldiers were stabbed, and the soldiers listed continued to attack across the wounded.

The Dionyns are also defensively tenacious, constantly stepping forward to fill the gap that has been opened, and strive to maintain the integrity of the front line.

The battle has entered a fever from the beginning.

....................................

At this time, Amintas once again got a bad news from the detective mouth: "The head of the reporting army, more than 2,000 Roman heavy infantry are moving fast to our right wing!"

Upon hearing this news, Amintas’s face was very ugly: did the Romans have so many troops? ! Did they reorganize the previous defeats so quickly? !

Time has not allowed him to think more. He looked back at the light armor who was still resting and gave orders: "Let the third brigade quickly rush to the right wing to defend the enemy. After the enemy, let the eighth brigade quickly circle behind the enemy's flank. Make a pinch!"

"The head of the army." Printos reminded him: "Since the Roman tactics are similar to ours, I am afraid they will not be afraid of the flank being attacked. On the contrary, when the enemy is strong, let the light armor and heavy infantry Killing, I am afraid it will not be their opponent... Hey, we are not going to defeat the enemy now, but to defend and delay the time...

Printos reminded Amintas to indulge for a while: indeed, since the Romans were fighting on the basis of a squadron of more than 100 people, when the light armor moved to the side of the rear of its array, its rear squadron only Need a flexible turn, you can form a face-to-face battle...

Soon, he changed the order: "Let the third team reduce the thickness of the array, extend the length of the formation, completely block the enemy's offense! Let the eighth team rush to the rear of the third team, enhance the thickness of the entire array, resist the impact of the enemy! ”

"Yes!" The commander went and ran.

At this time, Amintas was no longer as calm as before, and Printoles was the same, and the atmosphere became somewhat dignified.

Ledes hesitated and said, "Well, do you want my cavalry to attack the enemies who have come to flank the flank and relieve the pressure on the first legion?"

Amintas’ eyes brightened and then shook his head again: “Ledes, thank you! My first legion can resist the enemy’s attack and let your cavalry rest well. I don’t want to wait for the enemy to retreat when the cavalry It is impossible to pursue because of running out of horsepower."

"Okay." Although Ladydes’s expression was regrettable, the words of Amintas made him relieved.

"Re-dispatch the soldiers to urge the Worthy!!" Then Amintas's impetuous words made the people around him understand that the commander was not as confident as he said.

..........................................

In fact, Camillas did not send all the heavy infantry out. He left three new squadrons at the rear to protect the light infantry and cavalry from being attacked by the other cavalry.

Although the light infantry of the Roman allies were more than the Diaonian light infantry, they did not dare to attack the Diaonian light infantry because they feared the stonemen.

In fact, the number of lead shots carried by the Diaonian stone squadrons is not much, but they have set a posture to attack at all times, so that the two sides maintain a stalemate.

Camillas pays close attention to the progress of the war ahead.

The new front formed by the old soldiers and the young soldiers not only blocked the enemy's attack, but also began to oppress the enemy to retreat, but their progress was very slow and could not satisfy Camillaus because he knew very well: Dionys The number of heavy infantry in Asia is less than that of them, and after a long march, they are not as good as their physical strength. They can still maintain a roughly stalemate with the second-ranking soldiers who are more powerful after defeating his first line. This cannot Don't surprise him.

Therefore, in order to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, Camillaus did not reserve the reserve team on the third line, and almost all of them were put into the attack on the enemy's flanks. Now all the available measures have been used up, all the available forces. The pressure was up, and all he had left was anxious waiting and praying to the gods.

................................................

Captain Patroclus, who was behind the sixth brigade array, was also surprised. This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult enemy since his service.

These Roman soldiers used constant shields and punctures to consume the physical strength of the Dioyan soldiers, but rarely used brute force to collide with the shield and avoid going too far into the front, so they basically maintained a more continuous attack. line.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the Dionian soldiers to exert the power of the short sword~www.readwn.com~Because the active closeness to the enemy will undoubtedly consume more of their tired physical strength.

Therefore, under the steady and continuous attack of the Romans, the front line of Dionia was forced to retreat.

However, on the flank of the military array, the attack of the Roman youth soldiers was much more violent, especially the more than 2,000 Roman youths who were finally sent to the scene. In order to wash away the shame of the previous defeat, they did not need physical attack, and even some red-eye reduction. The soldiers also carried out the killing of their lives, which put the third squad of the First Corps of Denia against their attacks under tremendous pressure.

Confucius was one of the 2,000 people. His squadron was previously attacked by the Danonian cavalry and then defeated by the javelin attack of the Diavian heavy infantry. The soldiers had already sighed in the air. After reorganizing the team, they were sent to attack the enemy's flank and rushed to the front.

At the back of the squadron, Connors watched several soldiers being stabbed in the chest by the enemy with a short sword, but did not immediately fall down, but used the last strength to hold on to each other’s short sword and provided a blow to the teammates behind him. The chance to kill each other.

The heroic performance of the soldiers also made Kang Yusi’s multi-year veteran spurt. He was tall and tall. He saw a general man with a white cap behind the enemy array yelling and shouting. He didn’t think about it. Then he threw the spear in his hand, and then he saw the general fell down, but the array of enemies was not chaotic, as if nothing happened, the Dionians were still tenacious. Defend the soldiers' offense.
