Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 765

[Chapter 111 Landing the first battle]

“When Panthius arrives, if the strength of the Dionians on the opposite side does not change much, maybe we can fight…” Paulus said uncertainly.

Not long after, Villitre’s army arrived.

After listening to Paulus’ brief introduction to the battle, Panthius, who was also a former military and political officer and older than Paulus, seemed a little impatient: “What are you waiting for?! Wait for Dionia All the troops landed on the shore, destroyed the surrounding towns, and attacked Rome?! Now is our only chance to defeat the Dionysians, and we must not miss it! Attack! We must attack immediately!!”

Paulus and Meijiu

Stow didn’t object, because if they didn’t want to take huge guilt, it really was the only chance!

Although more than 25,000 Dionian troops lined up on the far coast, 7,500 in Antium, 8,000 in Sartnicum, and 10,000 in Vilitre, the total strength of the Roman army is the same There are more than 25,000 people, and it is completely possible to fight against one.

The Dionians cannot be allowed to increase their troops any more, they must hurry up and fight!

After the three reached a consensus, they immediately began to act: the troops of Antium and Satnicum had already formed their formation, and the troops of Vilitre quickly lined up next to the right of Satnicum’s troops… … and soon the huge Roman army began to advance.

………………………………

The Romans are finally here!

Amyntas, who was standing in front of the army array, saw the dust and smoke in the distance, finally smiled, and said jokingly: “If I knew that the Romans came so late, the Second Legion should not have appeared in the array. Among them.”

“Do you think the Romans are stupid, we have been in the land for so long, and there are less than 20,000 troops in formation here?! Everyone knows that there must be an ambush here!” Matonis immediately retorted.

“Finally, we can officially fight the Romans!” Lizaru’s eyes flashed with excitement. He had heard that the Ministry of Military Affairs had always attached great importance to this Latin city-state in central Italy. I didn’t feel anything special, but from the conversation with Amyntas in the past two days, he learned that the Romans are indeed not weak in combat, and their tactics are quite similar to those of the Dionysian Legion, so he is very much looking forward to fighting with the Romans. Human hands.

“It’s time for us to go back and prepare for battle!” Reidus reminded, looking at the long red line looming in the dust mist in the distance.

Amyntas immediately saluted the others and said solemnly: “Blessed by Hades, victory belongs to the kingdom!” “Victory belongs

to

Dionia!”

“We will win!”

The commander of the 3rd Corps, Lizaru, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Corps, Ryders, and the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Corps, Kuchius, also saluted and responded

. against.

The Dionysian First Corps was located in the middle, with the Second and Third Corps on the left and right, and the First and Second Cavalry Corps at the back of the two flanks. The total strength was about 27,000 people, and the entire army was four miles long.

This is one of the most common formations, and it shows the confidence of the legion commanders who participated in the war in their soldiers, because they believe that their side has surpassed the other in terms of numbers, morale, and combat effectiveness, and there is no need to make any surprises to reduce the gap.

From the rear of his legion, Amyntas

was watching the soldiers making the final preparations for the battle. The messenger hurried over: “Legion Commander, Your Majesty is here!”

More than 200 horses came galloping, and the leading Davos was wearing golden armor and a black cloak, and the black feathers fluttered on the golden helmet.

Two extremely strong riders on either side behind him held a large flag aloft.

One of them is a silver-white double fork wrapped around a black ribbon, and the open double fork at the top is tightly bound by a crown of aspen branches cast in gold, which is the scepter of King Davos.

The other shot appears to be much larger.

Its top is the golden statue of Hades, and under it there is a ledge, which is inlaid with golden statuettes of Thanatos, the three inquisitors, the goddess of nemesis, the three-headed dog of hell and Charon. , they are all subordinates of Hades, the underworld king, and they are also the symbols of the legion. For example, the statue at the top of the flag held by the legion brigade is the god of death, and the statue at the top of the company flag is the goddess of nemesis… There is another one down the flagpole. The longer rungs are no longer inlaid with any statues, but some small golden discs are pendant. These discs have portraits on them. They are all enshrined in the main temple of Turii Hades and died in battle in the Valhalla. Heroes of the Kingdom of Dionia, such as Drax, Tspit, Sobokos… This is the flag representing the army of the Kingdom of Dionia, it is like a small tree cast in gold, swaying as it advances The golden discs of the two collided with each other, making a pleasant sound, as if the heroic spirit was whispering…

Amintas immediately drove his horse forward and gave a respectful military salute: “Your Majesty!”

Davos returned the military salute, and then said in a calm tone : “We are here to be the audience, so we won’t interfere with your command.”

Amyntas thought he had heard it wrong, but seeing Davos’ serious expression, he said happily: “Thank you for your trust!” Before this battle, several legion commanders unanimously elected Amyntas with the most seniority to be the commander-in-chief of the battle. He was both excited and nervous about the battle that was formed, and he was afraid that Davos would not let him command.

Davos smiled slightly. He had already listened to Printols’ report on the way here. With the number of soldiers outnumbering the opponent and the cavalry far outnumbering the opponent, even if there was an influence from the past life history, he did not think that The Romans would be victorious.

When Davos and his party came to the rear of the array, Matonis, Lizaru, Ryders and Kutchius all came to greet them, and Davos encouraged them one by one.

The soldiers around were very excited when they learned that King Davos was coming. They couldn’t leave the place due to military law, so they turned around and saluted and cheered him.

Soon, the cheers spread throughout the entire army: “King Davos is victorious!!!”

“Your Majesty is victorious!!!”

…

In the tidal wave of cheers, Pat, the captain of the First Army Lororos looked back frequently, and even after a long battle, he had an urge to start fighting immediately, so that the prominent and distinguished father-in-law behind him could see his abilities with his own eyes.

As for Adoris, who was in the army formation of the Second Corps, he felt nervous when he heard the arrival of his adoptive father, who had been eager to try.

A mile away, Paulus, Megios, and Pantheus, who were leading the advance of the Roman soldiers, suddenly heard the thunderous cheers erupting from the Dionysian army on the opposite side, and they couldn’t help but cheer up for the enemy. morale and a worried look on his face.

As the distance got closer, Roman nobles like Paulus, Megios, and Panthius, who had received Greek higher education since childhood, could vaguely hear the content of the cheers: “His Majesty Davos is victorious…”

Everyone was invariably distraught: Is the king of Dionia coming?

!

!

The invincible magical king of Dionia?

!

!

During this period of time, due to the war between Rome and Dionia, the Romans began to seriously understand the information of the kingdom of Dionia. Of course, there are more rumors about the king of Dionia. The king who was a mercenary has since After coming to Great Greece more than ten years ago, he fought against the weak and won many battles many times. He led only more than a thousand mercenaries to start, and in just a dozen years, he created the now powerful Kingdom of Dionia. This is nothing short of a miracle!

Now the person who created this miracle may be in front, how can this not make these Roman generals nervous!

In particular, Meijus, who was located in front of the middle of the army formation, could clearly see the two golden banners held high behind the enemy formation were extremely dazzling under the sunlight, and even made him feel a little weak in his legs.

But the army has been deployed and the soldiers are advancing, how can they retreat at this critical moment!

What’s more, Dionia’s previous victories did not come from Rome. These three Roman generals who had not yet fought against the Dionysian army believed that the heroic Roman soldiers had the same relationship with those city-states and races that had been defeated by the Dionysian army in the past. Soldiers are different, and they must believe so at the moment.

So, the bugle sounded again.

The high-pitched bugle sound not only excited the soldiers, but also drove away the anxiety of the generals.

Davos stood quietly at the back of the army formation, looking at the Roman army in front, but a little turbulence arose in his heart: although it was different from the Roman army he saw on TV and movies in his previous life , but this is the first time he has seen the Roman army in this life. These Roman soldiers who conquered the entire Mediterranean in the previous life are armed with long shields and lances. The runner-up formation swept in; and the Dionian army stood still, silent as a lofty mountain, and the color of its armor and shield was like a bleak night, making people shudder.

This red and black, the colors are so distinct, what bloody and heroic sparks will collide on this land.

Davers touched his chin subconsciously.

As the Romans approached, the screams were thunderous, the ground trembled, and even the crotch horses of Davos and the crowd watching the battle began to feel uneasy, swaying their limbs and snoring.

Krotokatax, who was about to witness the first large-scale battle in his life, clenched his fists and looked nervous, but he was still trying to keep his eyes open. He stared straight at the Roman army who put a lot of psychological pressure on him.
