Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"The wall collapses!! The walls of Rome have finally collapsed!!!" In the cheers of the soldiers of the Dionysian army in front of the trench, a small section of the southwest corner of the city in front of the roaring sound, accompanied by the ground The tremors caused a cloud of dust, accompanied by the screams of Roman soldiers.

After a while, the dust and the mist dispersed, and a large gap on the wall appeared in front of everyone: it showed an inverted trapezoid, the width of the upper and the lower, the width of the lower mouth was about four meters, more than three meters from the ground, the stone and sand collapsed. After coming down, it is natural to form a **** on both sides of the gap.

"Crushing over! Attacking the city of Rome!" The soldiers of the Fourth Army of Dionia near the gap were very excited, like a chicken blood, stepping on the bricks and bauxite of a place, regardless of the fall, fast Gushing toward the gap.

The defenders on the city, who had just been shocked by the collapse, also came back to the moment and ran to the top of the gap, smashing javelin, stones and wood down, trying to give the enemy a lot of damage and prevent them from entering the city.

But this did not stop the high morale of the Fourth Army soldiers. When the forefront of the soldiers rushed past the gap, they stopped involuntarily because they were not far from a thick spear wall in front of them, and countless wearing simple clothes. The Romans lined up in a dense array, with a spear shining toward their spears.

"Stop! Stop! Let's get into a square!" The team officers in the forefront of the soldiers shouted loudly, but in this battlefield, the extremely excited soldiers were yelling at the influx of madness. Organizational order has long been chaotic, they can not obey orders, but push the comrades in front to face the spear wall.

The forefront soldiers had to rush to lift the long shield, protect themselves, and smashed toward the enemy.

Soon the open space between the spear wall and the gap was filled by the influx of Dionyrian soldiers. The dense spears of the Roman landless squad were defended by the defenders of the Western Wall, Severus Mussia. Command, this general was born in the Roman poor, but because of the heroic battle in the past battles, several times to get the promotion of Camilos, a low-ranking auxiliary soldier became the prestigious Roman squadron leader, this time he happened to be 3000 Among the left behind soldiers.

The reason why Big Scipio chose Mussia for the defense of the west side of the city of Rome among dozens of squadron leaders was not because Big Scipio, like Camilos, had the eyes and mind of both the origin and the ability, but because of In the critical situation of the great pressure of the army and the conflict between the Roman aristocracy and the civilians, his helplessness was to hope that Musia could use his prestige among the civilians and be able to integrate a large number of people in the western part of Rome. The power of the poor and slaves blocked the attack of the Diaonians.

In fact, until now, Musia has done more than the expectations of Great Scipio. He not only temporarily dissipated the dissatisfaction of civilians and slaves, but also motivated them to participate in the war and organized them effectively in the city. And the city's full defense against the enemy's attack, led to the fourth and fifth legions of the Diaonia, more than 10,000 elite soldiers attacked the region at the same time, has not made significant progress.

Now Mussia's temporary formation of the spear gun array did not give the Daiyan soldiers a great kill, but it was not scared by the enemy's fierce attack, but stubbornly blocked the enemy's breakthrough.

The biggest killing of the Diaonian soldiers who rushed into the gap was the defenders of the city. The Dionysians under the city were so dense that the defenders would throw every javelin and every stone, which could cause harm. Not to mention the fire oil, the unfortunate Dionysian soldiers were poured into fire people, posing a great threat to the surrounding comrades.

Fortunately, until now, tar and olive oil have been used in large quantities to burn a lot of siege equipment. Until now, there is very little left, otherwise it will be a case for the Diaonian soldiers who rush into the gap. disaster.

Before the city wall was overwhelmed by the siege car, the fourth army leader Oliver, after learning about the situation in the gap, was anxious: "Commanded the light infantry to immediately approach me and violently attack the city." The enemy, relieve the pressure on the soldiers inside!"

"Let the brothers at the gap quickly pull back and make room for the soldiers inside, so that they can form a square and fight against the enemy!"

"Give me a collection of mountain detection teams, let them try, can climb from the gap to the city, attack the enemy!"

The commanders accepted the orders and ran one by one.

"And... I will immediately inform the Fifth Army Chief Giorgio and tell him the dilemma we are in!"

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

After Gio Gris got the news of the unfavorable situation of the Fourth Army, he looked dignified and he looked at the front: under the wall 100 meters away, there was a burnt siege between the soldiers who were trying to attack the city. The car and the arrow-stopping car are braving thick black smoke, and among them are three still-good siege cars lined up under the city wall, which are constantly hitting the city wall, the vibration of the "bang" The sound, even in the back of Gio Gris can be heard.

He could even see the ever-increasing cracks in the wall, as well as the dust and stones that had not stopped falling, and almost completely buried the siege car.

"I will immediately inform the first brigade and withdraw the trenches for me. In front of the wall to be collapsed! After the wall collapses, don't worry, you must enter the gap in order with a complete formation. Be careful with the enemy's long guns. !"

"At the same time, the other brigade soldiers were warned that they did not get an order, and they were forbidden to enter the gap without authorization. The offenders were severely punished!"

"Yes, the head of the army!"

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

When the 4th and 5th Legion were fighting in the city, in the place not far from the west, the army led by Tormide was in a fierce battle.

The Roman army, which was led by Paulus, had fewer people than the other, but most of his soldiers were heavy infantry. The number of soldiers was double that of Tolmid’s heavy infantry. It gradually began in the frontal slaughter. Take the upper hand.

If it were not for the constant attack of the first and second cavalry regiments of the Dionysian from the side of the Roman army, and the partial forces of the Roman army were pinned down, then the Roman army would probably be full of positive assaults, forcing the Dionysian array to retreat. .

But as time went by, Paulus became more and more anxious: he was burdened with the rescue of the city of Rome, but was blocked here, not allowed to enter for a long time, and then dragged on, even if he finally repelled the face The enemy, I am afraid that Rome has broken the city, he will also become a sinner in Rome.

Therefore, he finally made a fuss, ordering the Roman squadron behind the array: leaving only a part of the squadron to watch the Dionyrian cavalry in the surrounding area. Most of the squadrons should stop paying attention to the threat of the enemy ride and immediately launch to the two wings. Then turn to attack the enemy's flank.

Under his supervision, the Roman military array began to stretch its arms from the original ellipse and converted to the "one" character formation.

The heads of the two cavalry regiments, Ledes and Kuzius, who were behind the side of the Roman formation, felt bad. At this point, the two cavalry corps' javelin had already been used up. They let the cavalry divide into small teams and ran back and forth behind the enemy, posing an offensive posture, just to force the Romans to dare not invest fully, but now the Romans made a fuss. The cavalry regiment could not let them achieve their goals.

"It seems that only the offense..." Ledes sighed. He knew that the cavalry attacked the intensive heavy infantry. Even if the opponent was in motion, the effect would not be too good, especially the damage to the horse, resulting in a large reduction in the cavalry. .

But the younger Kuchius is fighting: "Then let the Romans see and see our Dionian cavalry charge! The head of the Ledes army, you lead the army to attack the enemy, I am going to attack the right side!"

Said, he is going to go south.

"Wait a minute!" Ledes called him, pointing to the Roman army that was facing the front of the Roman army, and said: "...even if we want to stop the enemy from launching from the two wings, these Roman soldiers I am afraid I will rush to both sides to stop us."

"This is for sure, but they are not many people, and it is impossible to block our charge!" Kuzius said confidently.

"So - their departure ~www.readwn.com~ will expose it!" In the direction of Ledes' finger, Kuzius's eyes lit up: because it was the rear of the Roman Army Road The light infantry that threatened the Daonian cavalry was gathered there, under the protection of these Roman heavy infantry.

Ledes's voice continued to sing in his ear: "We summoned the cavalry on both sides to attract the attention of the enemy, but quietly sent some cavalry to retreat, to withdraw from the enemy's line of sight, and then your cavalry corps The enemy's two wings launch an attack. These heavy infantry will inevitably rush to the sides to intercept. The hidden cavalry can take the opportunity to launch an assault on the enemy's light infantry. These light infantry will inevitably be unable to resist and will be chaotic, thus driving them to disturb. The front line of the enemy's middle road, creating an opportunity for our infantry in the middle of the road to win."

"Good idea! Head of the Ledes army, listen to you, just do it!" Kuzius responded with a refreshing response: "When we were arranging the cavalry, we opened the interval between the cavalry and obscured the enemy's sight. Then they sent four company teams (the company of the cavalry corps was 50 rides), rushing to the rear and waiting for action."

Ledes nodded, solemnly saluting, and said: "Time is tight, then act, May Hades bless, let us succeed!"

Kuzius immediately returned to the military ceremony: "With the help of Hades, we will succeed!"
