Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1182

[Chapter 131 The Battle of Tigerya (7)]

In the end, the Tigera soldiers couldn’t even swing their spears, but the soldiers of the First Legion who were hiding behind the shield walls of the phalanx formations of each detachment could freely stab out their daggers, screaming continuously. It made the Taigea soldiers panic even more. When the back road was cut off, they began to desperately rush the Spartans in front of their allies.

……………………………………………………

The soldiers kept using long shields to resist the impact of external forces, and kept stabbing outwards with short swords, their shoulders and arms were already sore numb.

Max kept shouting and cheering, and his voice was almost hoarse… I don’t know how long it took, the enemy’s attack on the turtle shell suddenly weakened.

Are our reinforcements really coming?

… Max was overjoyed when he saw hope.

The soldiers peered out through the cracks in the shield, and vaguely saw the Spartans retreating.

They also breathed a sigh of relief temporarily and moved their sore arms slightly.

At this moment, there were two loud noises from the top of the head, “Peng! Peng!” The soldiers in the back row who held the long shield above their heads felt like a boulder hit the shield, and the entire arm holding the shield was about to break. Broken, they couldn’t help screaming in pain.

At this time, two figures fell from above, and before the Dionian Legionnaires could react, they pushed the soldiers around them to the outside.

The Dionysian soldiers were all guarding against the attack of the enemy outside. They did not expect that the Turtle Armor Array would be breached from the inside, and several soldiers were pushed out of the array unprepared.

Max’s eyes were split, shouting: “Tighten the formation!”, while pounced on the enemy closest to him, the dagger pierced the enemy’s throat, but the enemy’s grim smile before his death made his heart go cold.

It was already prepared that the Spartans were swarming from all directions, so that the soldiers of Max’s detachment had no time to regroup, they were shocked and had to fight each other.

It turned out that after the Spartans rushed into the formation that Dionia had spread out, it turned out that the Dionias were not scattered, they gathered into a strange small square, and they were resisting stubbornly.

The Spartan warriors continued to attack, but they were still unable to break through the opponent’s defense, and instead caused many injuries.

The Spartans with strong tactical ability had to find another way to break the enemy, and soon they thought: the defense around these small Dionian phalanxes is very strong, but there may be a breakthrough above them.

So the two volunteers jumped to the top of the tortoise-shell formation, under the consignment of several comrades, and smashed the entire formation.

Facing the crowd of Spartans,

the resistance of the detachment soldiers was quickly shattered. Max, who fell to the ground with a pierced thigh, did not stop fighting. He protected his upper body with a long shield and chopped the enemy with a short sword. His feet, until a lance pierced his right hand, and the dagger that had been chopped full of gaps finally slipped from his hand…

The Spartan warriors used the same method to destroy several at the front. The Dionysian phalanx, just when they were about to make persistent efforts, the first warriors were pushed desperately by the terrified Tigerians. Not only could they not continue to attack the Dionysian phalanx, but they were also in danger. After being unable to scold the terrified Taiga, they stabbed their former ally with their jabs, and the situation began to turn chaotic.

Then, not long after, a commotion began to appear in the rear of the Spartan army.

The Dionysian light armored troops were naturally faster than the heavy infantry. After the three regiments of light armored troops quickly bypassed the left flank of the entire army formation, they immediately launched an attack on the flank of the Spartan army without any repairs. The ferocious attack hit the soft underbelly of the Spartan army.

Among the 7,000 soldiers sent from the Spartan territory this time, there are only about 1,500 real Spartan warriors, more than 1,000 elderly Spartan citizens, and nearly 2,000 Periasians, more than 2,000 Black Rose.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of Agesilaus’ plan, Archidamus ranked the Spartans at the forefront, followed by the Piriasians, and again by the old Spartans and Helots. the mix of.

At the beginning of the battle, the old Spartans and the mixed army of Heroth did not enter the battle, but kept a certain distance from the fighting forces, because Agesilaus feared that these would never accept a fraudulent defeat. The tactical training black Rouse will become a hindrance instead.

It was only after the Spartans came back to kill that the old Spartans led Heroth to rush to the rear to increase the strength and thickness of the attack, thus defeating Dionia’s left wing in one fell swoop.

But the reality is that Dionysian’s left flank was not defeated, and the Black Roths were still closely behind the entire Spartan team, which turned out to be the target of the Dionysian light armour battalion.

Although the Council of Elders had made a promise to the Helots who participated in the war: after the victory of the war, they would become the free people of Sparta.

However, the Helots, who vaguely knew that the Spartans were in a difficult situation, were not very enthusiastic about it, but out of fear of the Spartans, they pretended to be more obedient and hard-working, but in the face of Dionysian The sub-soldiers attacked fiercely. These Helots, who had no armor protection, wore only a single coat, and held a simple spear, began to retreat within a moment, and they also took some of the old Spartans who were still fighting. .

………………………………………………

Agasilaus was looking forward to the news of victory from the right flank, but the guards sent out several times got the news: the right flank The Spartans were still fighting.

Agesilaus felt that he already knew the Dionian army very well, but he never imagined that the Dionian soldiers were affected by Spartan’s deceitful tactics and then attacked fiercely from both sides. Can fight for so long!

While he was amazed at the tenacity of the Dionysian soldiers, he also regretted whether the information he had gathered only through oral rumors, or the lack of comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Dionysian army.

Now he has begun to stand uneasy, because he knows that if the Dionysian left flank cannot be defeated quickly, the weakness of the Spartan coalition itself will be exposed over time, mainly the Tigean army, because the Dionysian army is in the They always keep a reserve team in battle, and they will inevitably send a reserve team to attack the Tigeras in order to achieve the purpose of rescuing the left wing.

Therefore, Agesilaus hurriedly sent messengers to stop the Thracians who were rushing to the south, preparing to let them rush north, bypass the Spartan army, and reinforce the Taiga.

However, just as the thousands of Thracian light shield soldiers had just run past him, the guards who were listening to the news hurried back and shouted: “King Agesilaus, it’s not good! Our flank was attacked. The attack of the Dionians!!”

Agesilaus was surprised, he always thought that the Dionian commander would send the reserve team to attack the nearest Tigeans at this time, so as to rescue the left flank However, at this time, Dionia’s army actually bypassed the left flank and attacked the flank of the Spartan army. If the Dionysian commander did not lose his mind, it can only show one problem. A large number of reserves can attack both sides at the same time.

Agesilaus had been laughing at Dionia’s young commander’s inexperience and was easily caught in the trap, and now he had to marvel at the other’s boldness.

However, the situation was very critical, and he did not allow him to think too much. He immediately issued an order: “Hurry up and inform the Thracians, let them quickly rush to the right flank, repel the attack of the Dionysians, and protect the flank of the Spartan army. !”

The Thracian line was not far from Agesilaus, and the order was quickly communicated.

However, these Thracians from the north of the Macedonian Territory, who did not know much about the famous name of Agsilaus, had always been known for their aggressiveness and bad temper. They had been ordered to march south in a hurry, and they were almost there. , and was called back in an emergency to execute another order.

Bai ran such a back and forth, which has made them suffocated, and now the order has been changed. Although it is still in the same direction and the distance is closer, the Thracians finally couldn’t help cursing, complaining, and even their cursing. The voices entered Agesilaus’ ears: “Will that lame old Spartan give orders? He’ll be dizzy when he gives orders indiscriminately!”

“I think the Spartans can’t do it. To actually send an old man who is about to die to be the commander!”

“Let’s just get the commission after this battle and leave quickly, I don’t want to be angry anymore!”

…

If Agsilius listened to it at ordinary times At these words that specifically offended him, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com had long been furious, but now he could only bear it, and hoped that these Thracians would be able to speed up after they were relieved.

When he finally saw the Thracians disappear from his sight, the worry in his heart not only did not disappear, but instead increased.

At this point, he no longer had any hope of winning this battle, he only hoped to be able to draw a tie with the Dionysian army, and the casualties of the Spartans were not large, he had decided to change his next battle Plan: When this battle is over, he will immediately disband the mercenaries, bring the Spartans back to the territory as soon as possible, defend the attack of the Dionians as long as possible, protect the safety of the Spartan territory, and wait for the situation The change.

However, at this moment, a guard rushed from the south: “Nearly a thousand Dionian soldiers appeared behind the right flank, and they attacked the flank of the mercenaries!”

Hearing this, Agsilao Si Ru was hit hard, and his whole body was instantly cold.

The guard next to him saw Agesilaus standing blankly like a clay sculpture, and immediately asked with concern: “King Agesilaus, are you all right?!”
