Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1179
[Chapter 128 The Battle of Tigerya (4)]
Clotokatax’s unintentional words flashed through Printols’ mind like a light. He suddenly widened his eyes and slapped his thigh hard: “The mercenary really has no ability to execute such a big deal. A massive fraud, but there is a city-state in mainland Greece that often uses such tactics to win!”
Clotokatax, who had served in the staff, was not lacking in military knowledge, he blurted out: “You mean The
Badans?!”
“Yes, the Spartans! We were fooled by Agesilaus!” Plintors said eagerly with some exasperation: “It’s no wonder that their left wing has not behaved well so far. Well, because they are not Spartans at all, they are just wearing Spartan costumes. The real Spartans are still the right wing Agsilaus who they are most familiar with with this little trick to confuse us !”
Clotokatax understood, he tried his best to suppress the nervousness in his heart, but his anxiety still penetrated into his words: “Quick… hurry up to send out the messengers, and immediately rush to inform… Keti… Ke Captain Tisus! Tell him that there are Spartans on the opposite side, and they are cheating! Don’t pursue! Be careful of their counterattack!”
“We will send another messenger to inform the commanders of Trotiras and Olivers respectively. , let them seize the great opportunity of the Spartans’ fraudulent defeat and irregular formation, increase their offensive efforts, maybe they can find a breakthrough in our middle and right flank!
” Si quickly accepted and ordered, and at the same time he gradually regained his calm, and said happily: “Lord Printoles, thanks to you for discovering the conspiracy of the Spartans in time! Now it seems that as long as we respond in time, Si The bad defeat of the Badas
will make the battle more favorable for us, won’t it?”
Clotokatax’s words once again stunned Plintors: With Agesilaus’ ability, he would take such a big risk. risk, but not get very good returns, is it worth it?
He suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly, “Bring me the battle map again!”
Taking the plank from the staff, Printols’ sharp eyes quickly swept across the map, and finally focused on the blue vertical bar in the corner, with a small line of words written below: 4000-5000 Thai Georgia Allies.
Printols finally understood where his unease came from: “Before we received news that Taigea was attacked by the Spartan army and suffered heavy casualties. If there is no rescue, I am afraid that it will be captured… But this is the case. How could the terrible Taigea send so many soldiers to the war?!”
Clotokatax was shocked, and immediately had a terrible idea, and couldn’t help but shudder: “You mean… The Tigeras lied to us, they were actually acting with the Spartans, but those corpses…”
“Your Highness,
we don’t have time to investigate the details!” Plintors said anxiously, poking at the map. : “Now that the army of Tygea appears in the rear of the First Army, I am sure that they will attack the First Army with the Spartan army. This is the real conspiracy of Agesilaus, we It
must be rescued immediately!”
“Ah… yes, rescue…” When Clotokatax thought of the possible consequences, his mind went blank for a while.
“Go and inform the Seventh Army, and immediately rush to the left flank to rescue the First Army!” Printols eagerly gave orders on his behalf.
The messenger who received the order looked at Crotokatax subconsciously.
Clotokatax waved his hand and said eagerly: “Follow the order issued by Chief of Staff Plintos!” The
messenger turned his horse’s head and ran to the rear.
Unexpectedly, Tiger Tinos came over on horseback and asked: “We have not received the news that the Tigers attacked the First Army, these are just your guesses, in case the Tigers are not at all If there is no mutiny, wouldn’t our Seventh Legion have to run for nothing! If there is another abnormality in other places at this time, the Seventh Legion will be too late to rescue!”
“If I go to the rescue after receiving the news that the Tigers attacked the First Army, then it will be too late! If something goes wrong, I am willing to take responsibility!” Plintors responded without flinching.
“It’s my order.” Crotokatax stared at Tigertinos. Although the volume was not loud, it couldn’t be refused: “Execute it immediately, Commander of the Tigertinos Legion.”
Tigerty North didn’t want to say anything more. He glared at Printols, and then hurriedly gave a military salute: “Yes, Lord Commander, may Hades bless you!
” You can still hear his roar in the distance: “Brothers, your chance to make a contribution is here! Stay calm, follow me, and speed up to the left wing of the military formation
!
”
The billowing dust and smoke raised by the soldiers of the 7th Legion made Klotokataks calm for a moment and said seriously: “Lord Plintors, I trust your judgment!”
“Thank you for your trust!” Plintor Si showed a wry smile and said softly, “I hope my judgment is wrong.”
………………………………………………
“Congratulations, Lord Legionnaire, our first The First Legion has defeated the enemy’s right flank!” The captain of the guard congratulated Ketisus excitedly.
Although Ketisus was excited, he was also a little puzzled: “Strange, we thought that the enemy on the opposite side was not easy before. I am afraid that the first army will encounter a hard battle, and there are no obvious signs, and victory will come suddenly. Tris, what do you think is the reason?”
Ctisus was asking his staff officer.
“Legion Commander, I think… it is better to inform the companies not to be busy chasing and defeating the enemy, control their own soldiers first, maintain the formation, and pursue cautiously to prevent accidents!” Putris suggested cautiously.
Ketisus hesitated. After all, it was difficult to defeat the strong enemy. At this time, instead of taking advantage of the victory to pursue, but slowing down the pace of the pursuit, it would give the collapsed enemy a chance to breathe, and the previous battle would be in vain…
This is At that time, the reconnaissance cavalry of the First Corps hurriedly came to report: “Report the Corps Commander, that Tigeria army is rapidly approaching us!”
“These shameless Tigeryas! We didn’t come out when we fought hard before. Help, now that the enemy has been defeated, I ran out to take the credit again! Bah!” Ketisus spat, and looked at the rear where the bugle kept ringing in disdain. Through the gray fog, he was able to I can clearly see the raised Tigea flag and the dark crowd, and the front of the team is rapidly extending to both sides… Ctisus, who has been on
the battlefield for decades, suddenly has a very strange feeling.
The bad feeling made him unable to resist shouting: “The Tigeras are too close to us! Go and tell them immediately, so that they don’t follow us, and go to other places to beat the Spartans!
” After the soldiers left, Ketisus still muttered uncomfortably: “There is something wrong with the situation, looking at the posture of the Tigeras, it is not like they are here to pick up cheap ones, but they want to charge… ”
Legion Commander, you still have to be careful. Although Tigera is already our ally, we don’t know it at all, and we have never fought together.” Putris reminded with some worry.
After listening to the words of the staff officer, Ctisus finally no longer hesitated, and he immediately issued an order: “Inform the company at the rear of the army to stop advancing immediately, line up backward, and prepare for defense!”
Five or six messengers rode their horses at the same time .
Go out, rush forward, and give orders to the company that is still running.
“Legion commander, some soldiers are defending on the spot, and some soldiers are still chasing… In this way, the strength of our first army can be scattered, it is better to stop the entire army!” Putris suggested again.
Ketisus did not expect that he would face such a difficult choice in the first battle when he became the commander of the army: partial defense and partial pursuit, which could not only prevent danger, but also expand the results of the battle, but it would lead to the dispersion of troops, and there was a great risk; And the entire legion stopped chasing and defended on the spot. What if the Tigeras had no malice towards the first legion?
Then the victories at hand can fly away, which is a pity…
This is one of the reasons why Ketisus has always been reluctant to be the commander of the army: it is too troublesome to choose!
But soon he didn’t have to worry anymore, because he saw with his own eyes the messenger who stopped the Taiga army suddenly turned from his horse and fell to the ground motionless, with a javelin stuck in his body.
“The Tigeras are the enemy! Immediately sound the bugle, and the entire army will stop advancing!” Ctisus shouted eagerly.
Originally, he and the staff officer led the guards, the reconnaissance cavalry, the mountain reconnaissance team, the messenger team, the trumpeter team… Following the 1st Corps, the situation is now critical, and they are desperately moving forward. Run, otherwise the command center of the First Army will directly face the impact of the Taigea army.
“Uuuu!…Uuuu!…” At the same time as the horn of the First Corps sounded, the Taigaiyas also made a roar of the sky, speeding up their advance.
At this point, they were only more than 200 meters away from the company behind the First Army.
After receiving the order of Ketisus, the officers of these companies and detachments seized the time to gather some scattered soldiers and reorganize the queue. There was no time to form a unified line of defense, and countless Tigeras rushed over like a tide. , rushed into the sieve-like First Army, and seemed to drown all the Dionian soldiers.
“Shield formation defense!”
“Brothers, don’t panic! Stick to the defense, our reinforcements will be here soon!”
But in the chaos, the hysterical shouts of the officers of the First Army continued to ring out. Small phalanxes of squadrons stand like rocks in the tide.
