Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Soberkos, what happened?" Felicius saw him look serious and asked.

"Commander is an adult." Sobekos, who is already in his 50s, is still a strong and sound voice. He has simply carried out a military ceremony: "My detective ride returns, about 500 cavalry in the south, approaching the camp. ""

“Is it a Syracuda?” said Felicius.

"I think it should be... those cavalry have no protection, and they are good at throwing javelins, which is very different from the previous Greek cavalry." Sobekos answered seriously.

"What are you waiting for! Hurry and send your cavalry to drive these Syracuse people away! Don't let them interfere with our soldiers building camps," Dracos said immediately.

Soberkos was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Our cavalry is not necessarily their opponent... According to the return of the detective, their horse control skills are very high, and the javelin throw is also very accurate, our ten cavalry are being Chasing, at a distance of 50 meters, they were chased by them. They threw a javelin and we lost... five brothers..."

"Sirakuza's cavalry is so powerful?!" Epiphanis was a little surprised. He knew the strength of the Dionysian Cavalry Corps. Due to regular training, whether it was riding, killing, or tactical execution, He feels a lot better than the cavalry in the Greek city-state.

"Probably the cavalry hired by Syracuse. When Syracuse and Carthage were fighting, it was said that they had hired Celtic and Numidian cavalry, both of whom grew up on horseback. Riding is better than ours. Normally, Master Davis reminded me before I came." Felicius said with a dignified look.

"Then let the Light Infantry Brigade of the Fifth Army and Sobercos your cavalry go out and drive away these cavalry!" Dracos made a decisive suggestion.

Felicius nodded in agreement.

Dionysius led his men to move on. As they approached the city of Cologne, they saw spectacular scenes hundreds of meters away: thousands of men on the vast flat land, waving shovel, shovel Excavate trenches, carry dirt, build up barriers, and build wooden gates and whistle buildings... Everyone is busy, but they are well organized. This hot-spot construction site is not just the one in front of it. It has been extending eastward and westward, and it has blocked the passage of the entire mountain side.

Dionysius, Fibidas, Fassisas and Astagras saw this situation and fell silent for a moment.

For a long while, Dionysius pointed to the Dionya camp, which was under construction, and said to Fascissas and Astagras in a reproachful tone: "Look at them, then look at what you are leading. Army!"

Faxi Pesas and Astagras were ashamed. They understood the meaning of Dionysius: they were also rushing in, and the Dionyns were able to build camps despite fatigue and work in Syracuse. The camps of the army did not call the camps at all. They were disorderly and disorderly. The soldiers were relieved to sleep in the messy tents...

"Adults, the Diaonians are trying to defend our offensive, so they will desperately build a camp, and no one dares to attack our army, so -" Astagrass just wanted to defend two sentences, and he was Diony Xiusi snapped: "So the troops you led can sleep peacefully, waiting for the big Greeks to surrender!"

The reason why Dionysius was angry was because in the past few years, he learned some of the strengths of the Dionyrian army based on the information from Dionia; on the other hand, Syracuse and Carthol Some of the problems that emerged in the base wars also prompted him to reform the Syracuse army. He clearly divided the heavy infantry, cavalry, infantry, cavalry, siege forces, and navy separately, and coordinated operations under unified and more effective command. In order to make the generals and soldiers skilled in using new tactics, he also studied Dionia, increased the number of military training of citizens, and formulated stricter military regulations to ensure the military can perform. After this reform, Syracuse will always gain the upper hand in the second war with Carthage. However, the scene in front of him made him feel the gap between his army and the Dionian soldiers in terms of spiritual will and command execution. Therefore, this fire was caused by his hatred and anxiety. Astagras was only a tool for him to vent his anger. Only.

This is a bit awkward, but when he still wants to defend himself, another important general of Syracuse, Faxi Pesas, sneaked his clothes and said with respect: "Adults You can rest assured that we will gather the army and let them rebuild the camp."

Dionysius looked a little darker.

At this time, Nuxibia mercenary leader Axi Lita came forward and said: "Adults, the enemy is now building a camp, it is a good opportunity for sneak attack, let me bring the people to rush for a while."

Dionysius hasn't answered yet, and Fibidas, who has been closely watching the Camp in Dionya, said: "Don't rush, the Daonian army is coming."

Several groups of cavalry and infantry emerged from several passages reserved for the construction of the Camp in Dionia. They quickly set the battle in front of the camp. The two wings were cavalry, and the light infantry in the middle, and then did not hesitate to Dionys. Hughes they marched.

"The Diaonians have no more to use. Adults, please allow me to lead my people to attack. I will let my fighters wrap around their flanks, attack their cavalry, disrupt their formation, and then The chaos hit the light infantry among them and let them taste the power of the Numidian cavalry!"

"We should go back!" Fibidas said suddenly, with a bit of urgency in his voice.

Dionysius glanced at him with a strange look. From Syracuse to the present, he was the first to see this indifferent and straightforward Spartan. However, as the commander of the army, he has more important things to do, and it is not necessary to entangle the enemy's small units. So he followed Fibidas's opinion and ordered to return.

Although Axirita is unruly, he is still awe-inspiring for the employer who is indifferent to his anger. He reluctantly calls back the hoping Numidah cavalry and follows Dionysius.

When Filipinos learned of the news of the enemy's retreat, he said to the two heads of the army: "You have all seen, the army of Syracuse will soon come, we must build the camp as soon as possible!"

Epiphanes has no objections this time.

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

On the way back to Rocky, Dionysius asked: "Fibidas, now the Dionyns build camps in Cologne, obviously want to defend us from attacking north, you think we are next How to do?"

"We must not allow the Dionyns to build strong camps here and take advantage of the narrowness of the terrain to offset the advantage of our numbers, thus consuming our time! We must invade the territory of Trina and the West Chamber as soon as possible, where The wide terrain is good for our army to fight, just to force them to engage in a positive battle with us, then defeat them and occupy their city! This way, Dionia has no help, and the main force is still trapped in Potentia. , it is a good opportunity for us to destroy them! "when it comes to the last word, even some Feibidasi look ferocious.

Dionysius looked at him curiously, although he did not understand why Pybidas suddenly added a sense of wickedness to the Diaonians, but this is his wish.

So, after he had pondered for a long time, he made up his mind and called the leading general. He gave a command: "Astargrass, Fassi Pissas, you will reorganize the army immediately after you go back. Tomorrow! I will be tomorrow. Attack on Cologne and Trina!"

"Yes, adults!"

Feibidasi listening to their conversation, happy to see Dionysius arrangements in accordance with their own proposals, but also the mind over and over again to reproduce the situation just saw: either cavalry or light infantry, Daiaoniya black people are unified, and even he could vaguely see their cavalry shield skin seems to have drawn the same pattern, although not seen Daiaoniya heavy infantry, but light infantry, cavalry like this ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ heavy infantry outfit must also be fairly uniform.

Dionysius has previously received a detailed intelligence Daiaoniya army, and not too surprised. But for the Spartans Feibidasi through Daiaoniya uniform attire and black gives a sense of oppression, he saw something deeper.

When the city-state citizens such as Athens, Corinth, and Thebes show off their rich artistic aesthetics and entertainment, they even use the round shields that have never been used once in half a year to paint a variety of exquisite patterns to show their personality and When savoring, the Spartan warriors snickered in secret. Since the Spartan regent came to Cugu to reform a hundred years ago, they have trained under the whip and sticks since childhood, and they have already summed up the essence of war in the battle of a hundred years: that is, do not care about any means, just for the end Victory!

The Spartans claim to be descendants of Hercules. In fact, they are more admired by wolves. Their army fights like a wolf, emphasizing discipline, overall and psychological deterrence. Even if they are strong in killing, they are absolutely not allowed to fight alone.

So, when the other city-states and Sparta fought, they saw rows of dazzling copper walls (because Spartan warriors had to wipe their shields and lances when they were fighting) and were dyed Scarlet cloaks of the same color as blood, and the uniform "∧" logo on the round shield.
