Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1181

[Chapter 130 The Battle of Tigerya (6)]

This sentence is both a compliment to the Dionian warrior in battle, and a relief to himself.

That night, he ventured to infiltrate the city of Tygea alone, and through Pausanias summoned the city councillors who were closest to Sparta.

He first told them that “the anti-Dionian coalition of the whole of Greece is about to be established and the Dionysian army will fail”, and then he told them that “the Spartan army will assist them in retaking the leadership of Tygea. At the same time, he also made a promise: the Spartans would never kill a Tigean indiscriminately!

It was because of his personal risk that the councilors finally agreed to his plan, so on the second day the Spartan army suddenly Surrounding the city of Taigea, just as the soldiers of Taigea went up to defend the city, the pro-Spartan faction quietly opened a city gate, causing the Spartan army to rush into the city and confront the anti-Spartan parliamentarians. The massacre was carried out.

Since Taigea has always implemented an oligarchy under the aristocracy with the support of Sparta, ordinary citizens have no power, and the pro-Spartan nobles regained power and quickly controlled the situation in the city Also, they also started to play the role of defending and sieging the city with the Spartan army, because the whole city was surrounded and blocked, even the disaffected people could not get the message out.

And considering that if this time The battle failed, and Tygea was bound to be retaliated by the Dionians, so the pro-Spartans also made a promise to Agesilaus: they would send all the war-capable citizens of Tygea to the The Dionysians attacked.

Now that the trap that Agesilaus had planned for the Dionysian army had finally succeeded, he was finally relieved, and he could imagine how the next battle would develop: Dionia’s left-wing soldiers, who had already run away, were under the front and back of the Spartans and the Tiger Army. Even if they had fighting strength, they would be defeated quickly. Then, the Spartans took advantage of the victory. , then swept the middle lane, and finally won the entire battle.

Agesilaus did not indulge himself for too long, he knew very well that the Dionian army liked to leave a part of the army as a reserve in the battle, so he immediately responded to the messenger. The soldier said: “Inform those Thracians immediately and let them attack the flank of Dionia’s right flank according to the original plan!

”

Although Agesilaus firmly believed that Dionysian’s left flank would be defeated by two sides before the Dionysian reserves arrived, he was more cautious and prepared to fight in Dionysian The right wing of Ya also stabbed a knife, completely disrupting the judgment of Commander Dionia.

Because he had learned from the information from the Arcadians that his previous strategy had taken effect, Leoticides had been transferred, and the new commander of Dionia was actually the son of King Davos. , I heard that this young man who is regarded by Davers as the heir to the throne has no commanding experience. Facing such a complex battlefield situation, I am afraid it is difficult to make a more correct response.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and prayed to Zeus, hoping to give Sparta a great victory to reverse Sparta’s current predicament.

Mukru rode his horse and ran wildly.

Halfway through, he saw smoke billowing in front of him, and countless soldiers in black armor and black armor were holding shields. Gun, rush to come.

Muklu hurriedly pulled out of the way to get out of the way, and then accelerated towards the place where the purple-red tassel helmet was swaying. When he got closer, he saw that it was the person he was looking for. He hurriedly shouted: “Tigerti Commander of the North Legion, where are you taking your troops?!”

“I’m going to lead the Seventh Legion to the left flank.” Tigertinos’ tone was still full of resentment: “Your chief of staff suspects Tigerya. The army has betrayed, let me rush to rescue the 1st Army immediately!”

“The Taiga army has indeed betrayed, they have already invaded the formation of the 1st Army from the rear, the situation is very critical!”

“Damn it, it was really Pulin Thors got it right!” Tigertinos exclaimed, and immediately doubled the volume: “Brothers, the First Legion is in danger and must be saved by us, so let me speed up the pace, who is it? Whose butt am I kicking for running slow!”

“Roar!!!…” The soldiers then shouted in unison, the footsteps were louder, and the dust mist was even bigger.

Calicenos, a Mandinglian, looked at the Dionian soldiers who were rushing past with excited expressions, and he seemed to have a little more confidence in the battle, who had lost hope for this battle.

And just when he was stunned, Muklu had left him a lot and went straight to the command center.

Seeing Klotokatax wearing a black pendant cap-tassel helmet from a distance, Mukru waved his hand and shouted: “His Royal Highness, the Taigea army has betrayed and attacked the First Army from the rear!”

Although the previous Persuaded by Printols, Clotokatax still had a bit of luck in his heart, and now it was confirmed that he changed color in an instant, and suddenly felt nervous, but he still tried his best to pretend to be calm and use a slightly trembling voice. The voice asked: “Lord Printoles, thanks to your suggestion, we dispatched reinforcements in time. Do you think… our left flank can withstand it?”

In the end, Clotokatax couldn’t hold back. , asked his concerns.

Seeing his thoughts, Plintos immediately comforted him: “Your Highness, there was a strict rule in the Dionysian Military Law, ‘When chasing a routed army, heavy infantry must try their best to maintain the squad and detachment. As a model for the entire army, the First Corps has always been resolute in the implementation of military law. Even if it encounters two sides of the Spartan army in a hurry, it will inevitably be able to confront the enemy with various phalanxes, not only will it not be defeated. On the contrary, our army is accustomed to fighting independently in detachments, and maybe it can gain an advantage in such a big melee!”

“That’s good.” Clotokataxus was skeptical.

“Your Highness, I have another suggestion.”

“Please tell me.”

“The Spartans set traps here to fight with us. They are well prepared, which makes us relatively passive. We cannot be led by the nose by the enemy, and we must regain the initiative on the battlefield to win the final battle.” After hearing the news that the 1st Corps had been attacked from the front and back, Printols finally made up his mind to implement the plan he had been brewing, and he solemnly said in a solemn voice: “I suggest that three light armoured battalions be sent to To the north, bypass the left flank and attack the flank of the Spartan army, in order to further rescue the 1st Army, but also to eliminate Sparta’s own strength as much as possible.

The young and middle-aged citizens of Sparta who can fight are not too many .

Many, for them, each one is very precious, so in the past battles they used more allied troops and mercenaries. This time the battle involves the rise and fall of the city-state, so they dispatched so many Spartans. If we put

out

a full attack on its right flank, the Spartan commander will certainly do his best to rescue. After the light armour battalion has been dispatched for a while, we will send the last reserve, the mountain reconnaissance battalion, to attack the Spartans. The flank of the army’s left flank, thus establishing the victory in one fell swoop!”

Clotokataxes listened carefully, thought about it, and said firmly: “Then follow your suggestion!

” ………………………………

The Tigeans did not expect that they would meet the Spartans so soon in the Dionian formation, which in their original vision had been The left flank would soon be rout in the face of the fierce front and rear of them and the Spartans, and then they chased the rout and won the whole battle.

But the reality exceeded their expectations. Dionia’s left wing did not collapse. Instead, it shrank into small square formations and continued to fight. At that time, they rushed into Dio, who seemed to be about to collapse. In the Nia formation, it didn’t take long for him to find himself in a quagmire.

Although, like the Spartans, most of the soldiers who participated in the battle were heavy infantry, but unlike the Spartans who had been trained hard since childhood, they were better at frontal combat wearing Corinthian helmets, and in this crowded and cramped In the space, they appear too clumsy.

The worse situation was that the First Army pursued the “rout” shortly after, and quickly stopped its advance due to the attack of the Tigers, and turned to local defense. At this time, the detachment and company of the First Army in the rear did not. Running away completely, when forming a small square, not only is the formation complete, but the distance between the square and the square is relatively close, which is the basis for the first army to display the tactics of the division square

. At the beginning, the order was not decisive enough, but after all, he has rich experience in warfare. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com did not panic and hide in any square formation with his followers, but looked at the direction and led them into the rear part of the formation. In a phalanx in the center, when the Taigea soldiers rushed in like a tide, he let the trumpeters keep sounding bugles.

Although the phalanx soldiers of the nearby detachments could not see the surrounding However, the familiar sound of the bugle could be heard, as if the ships sailing in the dark saw the lighthouse, and they all began to consciously move in the direction of the bugle. Although each square moved very slowly, Their concerted action made it even more difficult for the Tigera soldiers crowded in the phalanx to move. It didn’t take

long for a bigger disaster to strike, and the 3,000 infantry of the Seventh Legion led by Tigertinos finally rushed When they arrived, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Taigea soldiers.

The rear of the Taigea army was mainly light armored soldiers, and they could not face the heavy infantry directly, let alone these Dionys who were killed like wolves. The runner-up soldiers, who were quickly defeated, were driven by the attack line of the 7th Legion to attack the dense crowd in front, which not only made the Taiga army chaotic, but also made the already crowded space even narrower. .Vertex
