Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At the beginning, both sides were still safe, and each enjoyed the coolness and coziness brought by the river.

But in the upper part of the lower reaches of the Pulitala River, the river is narrower and the width is just over ten meters. The Agrigento soldiers (their camps are nearby) are on the east coast. It is the sacred soldiers of Carthage (because the upper end of the Pletara River is already close to the mountains, the Sikels often harass the Carthage camp from the north, and the Numidiya troops originally stationed in the north. Once upon a time, the attack caused chaos, and finally Monte Adeno had to station his most reassuring sacred troops here.

The sacred group is called the "Carthage of the Carthage" and is called "Balk Hammer" by the people of Carthage. Most of its soldiers are the elites selected among the oldest famous families in the city of Carthage. They are equipped, The training that was accepted was outstanding. These noble and well-intentioned princes wiped their strong bodies with clean white cloth, letting their own Namibian slaves go further upstream to extract pure Drinking water from the river, while watching the Greek soldiers on the other side of the river soak in the river, some directly squatting on the river to drink water, suddenly revealing the sorrowful color, and the companions laughed at each other: the Greeks on the other side did not talk about hygiene, They are all poor ghosts! ......

But what they don't know is that the Greek soldiers on the other side of the river are citizens from Agrigento.

Agrigento was once the second-largest Greek powerhouse on Sicily after Syracuse, and their history is even older than Syracuse. Syracuse was able to grow and develop decades ago, thanks to the support and immigration of Agrigento, and even Dillon who made great contributions to the prosperity of Syracuse is also the Agrigento, he With the power of Agrigento, I sat on the throne of Syracuse.

But nearly 20 years ago, the Sicilian expedition in Athens weakened the power of the Greek city-state on the island. The Carthaginians took the opportunity to let Mahniud’s family patriarch Hannibal be the commander, launching an attack on the eastern Sicily, Hannibal’s blood wash. Ximala, revenge for the ancestors, but Dionysius's father-in-law, Syracuse's general Hermokrates led the Greek city-state coalition forces in Sicily, repelling the Carthage army. But not long after, he himself was incited by the Syracuse Democrats to kill him on the grounds that he wanted dictatorship.

It was not long before the Carthaginians launched the attack again. This time, the new Magoniide family leader and Hannibal's cousin Himirko served as the commander. This was his first time as the commander of the Carthage army. He first targeted the Sicily second. Big Greek city state Agrigento.

Agrigento faces the attack of the army of Himirko. Although the number of soldiers is far less than the other, they are not afraid, because the Agrigento people have always respected Sparta, and their citizens’ military training is also It is much stricter than the average Greek city-state citizen, and the city also employs a Spartan army.

Carthage’s siege war lasted more than eight months, during which Agriturismo also won several small victories, but the Carthage people had too much advantage, and Chimirco bought and threatened through money, resulting in Grigento’s reinforcements and mercenaries have given up on rescue or treachery, including Syracuse and Sparta.

The Agrigento was finally desperate. The vast majority of the people fled to Gera in the dark, and the Carthaginians broke into the city, killing all the people who stayed in the city, looting the whole city, and burning it. The temple, and even decided to completely destroy it, to rebuild a city of Carthage, only the failure of the war, made Ximilco fail.

When Dionysius led the army to attack the western Sicily, these Agrigento exiles finally returned to their hometowns. In 20 years, the children who had escaped from the past have grown into the pillars of the city-state. The hatred is not because of time. Disappearing, but increasingly strong, although they can not understand the Carthaginian language spoken on the other side, but from the other side's pleasant laughter and contemptuous eyes, they still can't understand that the other party is humiliating themselves, so the anger burns in the heart.

When an Agrigento soldier picked up the pebbles in the river and threw it to the Carthage squadrons on the other side, the surrounding Agrigento people also learned the same.

The attacked Carthage immediately responded with stones.

Although the stone does not cause fatal injuries, it still hurts on the body, and most people are only wearing the lining, or naked, the intense pain is more stimulating the anger of these young and energetic soldiers. So some people simply don't throw stones, rushing across the river, picking up their fists, smashing each other... The conflict between the two sides is rapidly changing from throwing stones to flesh, and the scope of the conflict is rapidly expanding, near the river. The soldiers of both sides were also affected by them and they joined the battle.

At this time, the clever Numisbian slaves ran back to the camp, sought help from other members of the Holy See, and even carried the weapons and equipment left by the master in the tent to the river.

The addition of the heavily armed Carthage sect will lead to a new phase of growing conflict.

And a few Agrigento soldiers who watched by the river and did not join the battle group saw the arrival of fully armed enemies. Although the anger in the chest was burning, they were not unarmed and would not be stupid enough to resist the heavily armed Carthaginians. So they shouted and let the comrades pull away, but the scene was too chaotic, and no one listened at the time.

However, the conflict was provoked by the Agrigento soldiers and it was not so easy to end the conflict.

The arrogant Carthage squadrons are not willing to give up, and the weapon is in their hands, but the enemy is not far from the lamb to be slaughtered. This is simply the fat of the hand, how can they not eat! They waved their shield spears and stepped into the river.

The violent comrades who took the initiative took the initiative to open the gap for them, and they pushed to the front and stabbed the spear to the Agrigento soldiers who wanted to escape...

At this time, on the river in the upper part of the lower reaches of the Pletara River, in order to fight the group, there were nearly a thousand soldiers on both sides. The front Aglitango soldiers saw the situation is not good, want to escape, the people behind But I didn't know what happened. I didn't let it go. The spears of the Carthage soldiers easily pierced the body of the almost naked Agrigento soldier.

When the screams rang constantly, the blood stained the red Pletara River, and the horror overwhelmed the anger in the heart, the Agrigento soldiers began to flee in panic, and in the mutual push, some people fell and fell. Not being stabbed to death or dying.

At this time, Millefio had just reported on the big army of the Chinese army and reported to Monte Adeno the things he had learned these two days about "why the Carthage fleet failed to escort". On the way back to his camp, He learned about what happened on the Pletara River from the escorted officer.

He immediately rode to the Pretara River, just to see the heavily armed sacred soldiers have rushed to the other side, killing the Greeks who fled along the river bank.

The young and **** Millefio did not blow the horn of the retreat, ordered the soldiers who violated the military order and provoked the battle to immediately return to the West Bank. Instead, they sent a commander to inform the remaining members of the camp and the sacred cavalry. Immediately rushed to the Pulitala River, and ordered the naked soldiers on the river bank to immediately wear armor, pick up the weapons, and set up the formation.

After deploying all of this, Millefio said to the commander around him: "If you go to the Chinese army camp and inform the Monte Adeno, you will say that the Greeks took the initiative to provoke the soldiers of my sect. The result has happened. Fighting, now the entire sacred regiment army and cavalry have been fully engaged with the Greeks!"

The commander turned and wanted to go, and he was stopped by him. He emphasized: "Slow down, don't go too fast!"

The commander immediately expressed his understanding and then slowly moved toward the big camp.

The young and flamboyant Millefio was falsely accused of military affairs because he was dissatisfied with the conservative shackles of Monte Adno. He was the leading general of Carthage’s most elite sacred corps at such a young age. He did not want others. I think this is the credit of his father-in-law Hanno. He needs to prove his ability with brilliant military skills, and now he thinks this is a good fighter.

The sacred soldiers who passed the river rushed to kill the scattered Agrigento soldiers along the river bank.

The Agley Zento who had previously found out that the situation was not good had already ran back to the camp to call the reinforcements. Not long after, the heavily armed Agrigento soldiers arrived, and at the same time there were some soldiers from other city-states.

The killings of the soldiers of the Carthage Holy Group were stopped. Even as more Greek soldiers arrived, the Carthaginians who fought on the east coast quickly became offensive and became defensive because of the small number of people. Back.

Although the Carthage Holy Soldiers were proud of their origins, they were indeed well-trained. It was not long after Millefio’s order was issued. They had already listed in the West Bank for more than a mile and a thickness of seven. Eight columns of squares ~www.readwn.com~ They wear an open helmet similar to the Diaonian heavy infantry, without a visor, only cheeks, the crown is a bunch of red or long The white caps, wearing thick linen breastplates, were originally able to be covered with fine chain armor, but these soldiers would rather put a layer of leather with beautiful colors and beautiful patterns on the linen breastplate. Not willing to wear a black chain to destroy the beauty. The polished bronze bristles were put on the calves, the feet were dressed in good leather sandals, the right hand was holding a sharp spear of more than two meters, and the left hand was carrying a large round shield with a diameter of more than one meter, each round. The shields are all painted with delicate laces and patterns, and the soldiers often boast or compare them. In addition, these soldiers have enough homes to provide rich nutrition to fight the body, all of them grow tall and strong, and the listed squares are both mighty and colorful.

On the right wing of the infantry phalanx is a thousand sacred cavalry. Its real name is the Carthage noble cavalry. It is also composed of Carthage's famous children. These cavalry are also dressed in the best armor, holding three Mideo's long rifle, high-quality stilettos, and his armpits are selected from Iberian's toughest horses.

"Offensive!" Millefio could not wait to give orders. ()
