Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 6 Chapter 180: Crotone Battle (6)

After the light infantry retreat, the right and middle Dionian phalanx soldiers quickly cast two rounds of javelin, and when the battlefield opposite Syracuse was a little chaotic, they held long shields, stabbing guns, shouting "Ha The name of Diss, rushed to the enemy...

At this point, the two armies of Dionya and Syracuse have fully fought.

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

The news of the battle between the two great armies was sent back to the Acropolis by Crotone's spies, which aroused the attention of all the people in the city. After all, the victory of this conference war was not only related to the thousands of Crotone citizens who went to combat. Life and death are more related to the survival of all the people in Crotone. Therefore, many people are uneasy and want to go to the battlefield to watch the battle. These include many members of the council.

After deliberation, the remaining hundreds of civic soldiers in the Acropolis continued to stay to protect the women, children, and inconvenient elderly people in the city, while the tens of thousands of Crotone people in Lucias, Sispro Under the leadership of the executive committee members of General Tes, the trepidation of the hills came to the ruins of Crotone inner city, which was already rubble.

The sentimental in the heart has not yet reached the north wall, the deafening sounds overwhelming them, many people listened, his face was white, his legs were fighting, and he needed help from others to move forward.

Due to the burning of the fire and the vandalism of the Syracuse people, the collapsed north wall is like the teeth of the old man, and there are gaps everywhere. Only the section connecting the gates is still relatively complete...

Lucias stepped on the stone steps in a heavy heart, went to the city, and held the battlements, anxiously looking out: far away, dense soldiers smashed together and filled the vast wilderness of the Croton Plains. The huge horror sounds that sounded like the earth was smashing, stirring the dust and sand, and even the heavens and the earth changed color...

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

In the southern part of the city of Crotone, more than 80 crow warships led by Midorades are confronting nearly 40 Syracuse remnants of warships led by Leptinies.

The headache for Midolades was that once his fleet approached the Syracuse warship, the Syracuse fleet quickly retreated, and the special structure of the crow warship prevented them from catching up with Syrac. Kuzza's ordinary warship; but once the Midorades fleet approaches the coast, the Syracuse fleet is forced to come over...

Just as Midolides hesitated, the troops in Siracusa’s camp left hundreds of soldiers. They carried weapons with thousands of Sicilian freemen who were usually responsible for transporting heavy weights and rushed to the beach to make Midola. Dess wanted to send sailors to land to disturb the attempt behind the Syracuse army.

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

Since Trina was captured by Syracuse, there were 1,000 Syracuse soldiers, more than 1,000 Hibernian soldiers, and a thousand Coulenian soldiers, more than 3,000. As far from the front line, the day of Trina's defenders was still very leisurely, until the two days from the Crotone camp to Dionysius's orders: let them strengthen the defense, pay close attention to the north of the grams The movement of Napetia City!

The defending generals immediately began to rehabilitate and strengthened the reconnaissance of the north.

This afternoon, the detective came with amazing news: there were fleets on the beaches of the plains of Orpheia, about five or six thousand Dionya soldiers landed, and the Dionysian troops after landing were coming to Terry. Nacheng march!

Then came the news: more than a thousand Deonian soldiers from Kna Petia, have entered the plains of Orpheia!

......

One news made Trina's Syracuse generals restless. Although he was eager to make meritorious deeds, the enemies of six or seven thousand people were obviously not defeated by the strength of his hand. He immediately ordered: close the city. The door, pull up the suspension bridge, the soldiers of each unit are on the wall defense according to the deployment of the previous exercise, and immediately prepare sufficient arrows, javelins, stones, tar...

In addition, he also sent two messengers to rush to the West Chamber and Crotone camp to report.

Hilos led the troops to the city of Trina. After carefully observing the city defense situation of the Syracuse, he did not immediately launch the siege. In fact, time is not allowed.

He ordered that the army began to build camps in the northwest direction one mile away from the city, waiting for the reinforcements of Kna Petia to come to the meeting.

At the same time, in order to prevent the main force from sending troops in the east of Syracuse, he sent out a small number of cavalry squads and mountain reconnaissance squads to detect Sirikit and Syracuse in Crotone. Camp.

"Attack! Offensive!!..." Matones, who stood behind the square, couldn't help himself, and killed him so badly. Unfortunately, he is already the head of the army. He is limited by the Daonian Military Law and can only order. The drummer beat without stopping, urging the soldiers to step up the storm.

Although the Seventh Army was newly built, most of the soldiers were recruits, but the victory of Heraclia gave them victory and honor, and gave them more confidence. They did not fear to launch attacks on the enemy.

Kregennis was a freelancer who had just arrived in Turui four years ago, but he was lucky to be one of the 5,000 free-know soldiers in the Trionto River battle, to defeat Croton’s partial division. After contributing, he finally participated in the triumphal style, which gave him the goal of struggle.

At the beginning of this year, he has become a full citizen. In the past few years, the Dionysian army has been expanding, but when the instructors of the Ministry of Military Affairs in the selection of the Legion recruits, he was always eliminated, the reason is that the body is thin, not suitable for melee infantry, the instructor suggested that he become a light infantry. But he always dreamed of becoming a heavy infantry, so he was always a reserve soldier of the legion, but he was not discouraged by his resilience. He always insisted on exercising and honing his combat skills, and finally waited until the war broke out and the new legion was established.

Originally based on his identity and qualifications (formal citizenship, three-year legion reserve), the head of the army, Matonis, prepared him to be the company commander, but he refused because he felt that he had never been a team officer. As a middle and senior team officer, he has no experience and can't fight at the front line. He can't show the results of his hard training. He eventually became a small captain of the Seventh Army.

Now, he fights at the forefront, the left hand long shield firmly protects the body, the right hand's lance gun hangs over the top of the head, almost staying still, but once the enemy is exposed, it is like a lightning bolt, every time the puncture He was also awkward and accurate, and it brought a great threat to the enemy. In a short period of time, he was stabbed by several people.

He rarely yells and issues orders to some team officers, but his predecessor has greatly encouraged his soldiers, and his morale is even more powerful...

Oliver, who has always been arrogant to Mato Nice, always wants to compete with him, certainly will not let the Seventh Army specialize in the former. Under his strict command, the Sixth Corps also stormed more than...

More than half of the two new teams in the Dionya are Sicilian city-state soldiers, such as Kataney, Leotini, Gera, and Cammanina. These city-states are the ally of Syracuse. In fact, it is a vassal. The rulers of the city-states are the lords directly appointed and supported by Dionysius. Therefore, the willingness to attack the big Greeks is not the will of these soldiers. It is only this time that they have won successively and captured many loot. Therefore, the morale is not bad, and because of the "winning to go home" incentives, their fighting spirit is second only to the Syracuse soldiers.

But there are also Syracuse's soldiers in the big Greek allies, the Rocky, the Medma, the Hibernians, and the Caullenians. Especially the Cologne people, they were forced to surrender to Syracuse due to the situation, and they were reluctant. Dionysius is of course very clear, so he left a thousand Caulranians in Trina, a thousand in the West, to replace his troops, and two thousand Coulenian soldiers. He distracted him in the forefront of the left wing, forcing him to fight in order to survive, but his fighting spirit can be imagined.

Originally, Dionysius saw that the right wing of Dionia was basically a soldier wearing a Corinthian helmet, a round shield and a stab gun. He believed that it was not the main force of Dionia, and he dared to make such an arrangement.

Who knows that the two new legions of the newborn calf are not afraid of the tiger, a total of 14,000 soldiers attacked fiercely, so that although there are 20,000 people, but the complex composition, the fighting spirit is not strong, the left wing of Syracuse is forced to slowly retreat......

Syracuse left in the back ~www.novelmtl.com~ The middle road is also back.

The soldiers of the 4th and 5th Legion of Dionia experienced the fiasco of the West Chamber and witnessed the tragic death of the head of the army and their comrades. They are fighting the enemy with the purpose of scrubbing shame and revenge today, so it is not only Brave, but some mad, all expressions, desperately want to be close to the enemy, to fight close.

The Brudy soldiers who fought side by side were also infected and played the fierceness of the mountain people. The turmoil in the Brudy area some time ago has greatly affected the perception of other Dionian people on the Bruti people. Today they need to use their performance to show their loyalty to the league.

The forefront of the Syracuse Middle Road is the Campania mercenary. After the last battle, the experienced mercenaries learned about the close-knit melee of the Ionian heavy infantry, so they tried to work with Dionia. The soldiers opened some distance and used a stab gun to block the enemy's approach. At the same time, they knew that the heavy infantry's desperate attack was very labor-intensive. They waited patiently for the time when Diavian's manpower was exhausted and then counterattacked. This result led to the forced and deliberate retreat of Campania mercenaries and another 10,000 Syracuse civics.
