Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 7 Chapter 24: Battle of Ovanto

"This is true. Although his majesty is in the name of the king, he has always shared with us, so he will win our respect!" said a captain.

"I said Cleissus, do you still need Patroclus to help! If you are promoted, you can go to Sicily, Mesapi, or Puchetti to become the head of the army in the early years. The position of the first captain of the First Legion is not allowed, and we can't taste the taste of this first captain!” Another captain was half-joking and half dissatisfied, and several others shared the same feeling.

"I don't want to let you out of the position of the head of the army. It's not good to know people!" said Kruthus, who was angry and turned to look at Patroclus: "When you are holding a wedding, Be sure to invite me to participate!"

"I will invite a few brothers to come to the wedding, and will bring you a toast with Cynthia!" Patroclus said happily, but he was thanked by several other captains.

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

In the big account of the Fourth Army, Oliver left the fourth captain, Alex Endas, after the deployment of the mission.

Alex Endas is a Crotone. Since Crotone has voluntarily merged into the Kingdom of Dionia, Crotone has also become the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army, and even the headquarters of the Fourth Army moved from Asprostum to Crotone. . The Crotone citizens who have been trained for a long time are worthy of being a soldier. Once they are familiar with the tactics of Dionia, they will stand out and make the fourth army, which is not very good, improve. It also made many team officers in the Fourth Army begin to serve as Crotones.

"How did Adoris behave in your brigade?" Oliver asked with a smile.

Ariandas had long expected Oliver to stay with himself, just to talk about "he", immediately said: "Unexpectedly! I honestly, I thought he would be a trouble, but did not expect Not only does he have outstanding military skills, he is excellent, and he does not make himself special at all. He can unite his teammates. Other soldiers like to stay with him. He also sends me a message through his team leader, hoping to His team is in the first column of the battle..."

Oliver listened carefully to him, and his face smiled and blossomed, as if Alejandros praised his child: "Adoris’s military athletic test in Turui’s school is excellent every year, although his temper is somewhat I am impatient, but the character is good, I make friends, and my Majesty is strict. He and his brothers and sisters are no different from other children in school. They are punished by teachers because they are late, noisy, and fighting. Adoris has no shortage in this regard. been punished."

Olivers remembered the past, his face full of smiles: "Your Majesty had arranged for him to be in the Fourth Army in order to prevent Adonis from being taken care of, but -" Olives' face became serious: " Your Majesty can not care, but the sword spear on the battlefield does not have long eyes. We cannot be the master. If Adollis is injured or even killed, His Majesty may not blame us, but the people of the whole kingdom will accuse us of the incompetence of the Fourth Army. Your child can't be protected! In this way, even if our Fourth Army has made more achievements, it will not be able to withstand the safety of Adoris. Do you understand?!"

"I understand." Alex Endas said with a spirit, and there was still a bit of frustration in his tone.

"I understand that not only Adoris, but you also hope that your brigade can fight at the forefront of the military squad, so I am not satisfied with my deployment, right?" The savvy Oliver saw the subordinate mind. Remind: "Stupid, look farther, you can also make merits behind the military line! You see where your fourth team is arranged by me?!"

"In the left rear of the military array, next to the cavalry." Alex Endas blurted out.

"Yeah, squatting on the cavalry! Once our cavalry corps defeats the enemy cavalry, the third battalion in front of you resists the enemies in front, then your fourth battalion -" Oliver lays his palm and makes a turn Gesture.

"Flanking squats back..." Alex Endas's eyes lit up.

"...the great lord of the underworld, the just and stern arbitrator!

Hades, you are the king of the gods, the patron saint of the Kingdom of Dionia!

Under your radiance, the people of the kingdom put on armor, took up the shield spear, and went to the battlefield..."

Every time he sang the book of Hades, which was specially made for the Legionnaires to fight for war, Adoris had a sense of sacred pride in his heart. After all, his father Davers was recognized as Hades. Descendants. But today's situation is different from previous times, because he stood in the army of tens of thousands of people, and the magnificent singing condensed him and all other soldiers.

Although the closely arranged comrades in front blocked his view, he knew that there were tens of thousands of enemies on the other side of the river. For him, this is the first time he has played. He has no fear in his heart, but his body is shaking slightly because of his excitement.

"Hey!...... Hey!..." The sound of the military number from the rear made his blood more boiling, and then he saw all the flags in front of him.

"Go ahead!" The voice of the team officer sounded in the ear.

The huge military array began to move forward slowly.

The drum sounds in the rear also sounded at the right time, and the drums that are not in a hurry are telling the speed of each soldier.

Adoris followed the soldiers in the front of the Orvanto River, and the Dani archers on the other side began to throw arrows.

"Protect the shield defense!" the team officer shouted.

The soldiers have already erected the long shield. If it was the old-fashioned Greek armor more than a decade ago, the Legionnaires did not need to raise the shield defense or fear arrows, but now they are wearing an open helmet with no obstructions on their cheeks.

In the face of Dawn's bow and arrow attack, the light infantry brigade of the various groups of the Dionynia also colored on the river bank, and the group of guns placed in the rear also began to sing, and a stone bombarded with the whistling wind, crossed The Ovanto River, in the military array of the Dani people, was turned over and screamed.

Looking up at a stone bomb passing over the head, the ear can hear the screams from the other side, and Adoris is more bloody.

On their left side, thousands of Dionysian cavalry under the leadership of Ledes, the horses crossing the river, people shouting horses, splashing, first rushed to the other side, and the Danny cavalry strangled together.

The Danny infantry had been afraid of the blows of the guns. Under the impetus of the generals, they quickly rushed to the bank of the river and pulled closer to the Dionyrians, so that the guns could not be arbitrarily bombarded because of the proximity of the two armies. .

"Javelin!" The shouts of the team officers rang in the military squad.

Adoris and his teammates quickly stopped and took a javelin from his back and put it in his hand, throwing it out from his head. I couldn’t see the results, I couldn’t see them at all, and I immediately threw another javelin.

At this time, he heard the team officer shouted: "Offensive!"

In the sudden military squad, there was a scream of screaming: "Hades!!!!..."

The array in front began to accelerate, but did not ascend as the usual training, because it is in the river, the bottom of the river is slippery, and the feet are not very good.

Adoris they followed.

After only a while, the array in front suddenly stopped, and then the killing sound spread throughout the river.

Adoris knew that the two armies had begun to engage in a frontal battle. He subconsciously grasped the rifle in his hand. Unfortunately, they were in the back of the military array. At this time, they could not help a little, even the body of the comrades in front. The conventional square tactics that push forward can't be done, because it is in the river, and it is not good to control the body under the action of external force. Once someone slips, it may fall down. The only thing they can do is to stand still in place, and if they are defeated by the enemy, they can stabilize the formation like a meteorite.

As the battle continued, the face of Adoris and all his teammates began to show anxiousness. The situation that he could only stay in the rear and could not participate in the battle made Adoris complain in the heart that the uncle Oliver complained many times.

The Dani people kept the river bank and used the soldiers of the Daiyan Army to stay in the river, unable to fully exert the power of the heavy infantry phalanx, and desperately suppressed the Daoniya army in the river.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!..." At this moment, Adoris heard the sound of the rear squad, and he suddenly turned back, but saw his company's flag pointing to the left.

"All the soldiers listened, turn left!" The voice of the captain added his doubts. However, the military order is like a mountain, not to mention the nearby teams have turned left. www.novelmtl.com~ The voices of the team officers have sounded in the square of the fourth team, and the whole team began to move to the left. At the same time, similar maneuvers are being carried out at the rear of the right-wing phalanx. Soon, the entire lower left corner and lower right corner of the entire Danish army array seemed to have been cut off at the same time.

Although there are plans in advance, such a fine force transfer can be carried out in the battle, which shows the advantages of the organization of the Dionyrian Legion and the ability of the middle and lower team officers.

When Adoris and his teammates turned right again, his front was already open except for a few comrades.

Due to his preference for military affairs, Adoris not only received military training for many years, but also raised his courage and his father with a brilliant record at home to ask for military issues. At this moment, he has understood what this purpose of the troop movement is for, and can’t help but try.

"Accelerate!" The command of the team officers allowed the young soldiers who had been sullen for a long time to scream excitedly and swoop forward.

Alexis seems to have a fang in the middle of the array. He uses the flexibility of the Dionyrian Army and the advantage of the soldiers to carry out the battle halfway, from the two wings, to the Dani The human flanks are roundabout.
