Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Not only him, but the fourth and fifth captains and other company leaders also made a quick decision: let the soldiers rush up quickly, entangle the enemy, and let them escape!

But the chasing of the physically exhausted Dionysian soldiers just crossed the distance between them and the Roman soldiers.

As for the two winged Roman youths, because the previous attack was too fierce, the array of the two sides has been intertwined, too tightly attached, and it is difficult to withdraw at a time. In particular, nearly half of the more than 2,000 Roman youths who came to attack on the right side of the Devonian Army’s right wing had already smashed their eyes, only to attack, and to scream at the outside world. Not heard.

At this time, more than 2,000 Walthys in Antioch and Setia quickly smashed, and the third battalion and the light armor of the First Corps smashed these Roman youths before and after, and even the majority of them were Surrounded.

But for a time, these Roman soldiers did not panic, the back squadron turned to resist the attack of the Wolsey, the former soldiers were more desperately attacking, and even the array of the third battalion and the light armor in the face was almost broken, fortunately they Knowing the news of the arrival of the reinforcements has strengthened their confidence to hold on.

At the same time, Amintas urgently transferred to the second brigade of the third brigade to strengthen the line of defense.

When Wersey's other reinforcements rushed to the battlefield, they saw that the entire Roman army was already retreating, and immediately began chasing.

The Dionysian heavy infantry have been exhausted, and it is difficult to continue after only a few moments of running. Only light infantry and cavalry are still chasing.

The seventh battalion, which is all light infantry, is the best in the first legion. They run desperately and want to go around and intercept the six Roman youth squadrons who originally attacked the left wing.

Who knows that these Roman squadrons did not know the news of the arrival of the Wolsey reinforcements in the left wing, so they only responded to the military order to retreat, instead of retreating, morale is not bad. And it is similar to the way the Dionyrian army retreats. They are retreating as a whole from the squadrons, rather than completely running around, and they can organize themselves to fight back.

After the seventh brigade ate some losses, they no longer dared to stop in front, but followed them to run, and attacked with javelins and bows, thus achieving some results.

The pursuit of the Dionysian cavalry is more direct, directly driving the horse from the rear, smashing the enemy squadron, and then stabbing the enemies who have placed the order one by one, but this method is more harmful to the tired horses. Big, the cavalry used it only a few times at the beginning of the chase, and then only attacked some of the sporadic enemies.

The battlefield was only four or five miles from the camp in Rome. Camilles, with most of the old soldiers and veteran squadrons and light infantry, retreated to the north gate of the camp without any obstruction.

Freuz has got the news, and he has already opened the camp and is ready to accept Camilos.

Instead of entering the camp immediately, Camillaus reminded Frius to keep the camp, prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to attack the camp, and let the light infantry quickly stand on the wooden wall and climb the tower to attack any enemy who dares to approach the camp. At the same time, he led the 3,000-year-old soldiers and the old-aged troops. They arranged arrays 100 meters away from the camp, and launched a rapid attack on the Wolsey people who had not caught up for a long time.

Because the Walsh people only looked after the chasing soldiers, the formation had long been scattered, lost the organization, and was quickly defeated by Camilles.

Camilles defeated several Worthy chasing troops in a row, and after securing the safety of the Romans, he did not carry out anti-pursuit, but led the troops to retreat steadily, standing 50 meters from the north gate of the camp. Under the protection of the arrowed javelin of the light infantry behind him, he guarded the passage of the defeated soldiers.

When the Welsh people had to gather the chasing warriors and regrouped into a Roman camp, Camillaus had led the troops into the camp.

Looking at the Roman soldiers on the wooden wall, the Wolsey eventually dismissed the idea of ​​attacking the Roman camp.

Until this time, this hard battle finally ended.

Although the battle won, Amintas looked at the injured soldiers in the land, but was not happy, the rough casualties statistics have come out: the first legion has more than 2,400 casualties, which is already a quarter of the entire army. In particular, the third brigade and the light infantry brigade suffered more than half of the damage. Although some wounded soldiers were only skin wounds, they were able to recover after being bandaged, treated and recuperated, but this has already made the first legion vulnerable.

The next Leders was also sighing: the First Cavalry Corps blocked the retreat of the Rome grain-raising forces at the beginning, and finally blocked the reinforcements of the Roman heavy infantry and cavalry, which cost a lot of money. The final casualty figure was more than 700. It is already close to half of the ranks of the legion. In particular, the loss of horses is very serious. It may take a while for the horses to recover before they can go to the battlefield.

"This is a big loss!" Ledes sighed at the side, loud enough to let Amintas hear, although in the battle, he tried to help Amintas, but this did not hinder after the war. He vented his grievances.

Amintas did not refute, but now he has no refutation. He called the ambassador to quickly inform the medical camp to come to the wounded, while letting the defensive soldiers of the escorts go to help the wounded to bandage the wound and carry out preliminary treatment (in the usual military training, the soldiers accepted Trained in this area).

At this time, the First Legionnaires were so tired that they couldn’t even take off their helmets and breastplates. They lay down on the ground and slumbered, and even they were not reacted by their feet. They were mistaken for being repeatedly recognized by the guards. The bodies are really too tired.

Amintas walked among the soldiers and walked cautiously, fearing to wake them up, but his mood was heavy: he had been the head of the first army for nine years, all the soldiers and team officers in the army, he was very Familiar, now watching these soldiers and team officers who often get along with each other and fight under the command of the army and kill the enemy in battle, they fall into the pool of blood, how can he not feel bad!

At the same time, he is also blaming himself: although King Daves told him to pay attention to the Roman army several times before he left, he still ignored the Romans, otherwise he would not let the Legionnaires go through long-distance marches. They also attacked more enemies than they did. He treated the Romans as Mesape, Petchi, and Dani who had been fighting with the Paignan Legion. But it turns out that the fear of King Davers is correct. The organization and tactics of this soldier are similar to those of Dionia. The actual combat power is better than that of the former enemy of Dionia! ... If the first legion has more physical strength and more people, it will never be so passive! Rome...Rome...

Armintas thought as he walked, and Hettar Barus stood up in front of him. His right arm was tied with a bandage, and there was a long blood mark on his forehead. He could only use his left hand to reluctantly perform a military ceremony: Army...the head of the army..."

"Let's lie down, Hite Barus!" Amintas said busy, facing the third brigade captain, he rarely showed a smile of mild concern.

"The head of the army, the brothers of the third battalion..." Hite Barus looked sad and said nothing, and already had tears in his eyes.

Amintas’s smile is stiff on his face. He can only say in a deep voice: “Thanks to your third and eighth battalions, which stubbornly blocked the enemy’s attack, we won this victory! The medical camp will do its best. Rescue the soldiers you have left! You must also receive treatment and heal as soon as possible. The First Army will not be able to!"

After finishing the conversation, Amintas left in a hurry.

At this time, the adjutant Aristonos came over and whispered: "The head of the army, Steve Loss suffered some minor injuries, no serious problems." The children of these old Diavians are compared with each other. familiar.

"He suffered too much damage!" Amintas sighed and let Aristonos stunned.

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

In the camp of Rome, Camilles briefed Frius on the passage of the battle.

After listening to it, Freuz couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Camilus, you mean...the army of Dionia has been marching from Selce to the south of our camp, without stopping in the middle, Our levy force launched an attack, and then... also withstood the continued attack of our 9000 multiple infantry, and finally waited for the arrival of the Wolsey reinforcements?!..."

"Yes!" Camillas sighed. www.novelmtl.com~ The look is dignified: "The key is that we have a lot more people than them, more than 9,000 heavy infantry plus 2,000 light infantry and 700 Cavalry, I have nearly 12,000 troops, and the Dionyns...There are many 10,000 people who have been rewarded by the detective, but the heavy infantry may only have six or seven thousand, but this is a physical force. Our army, who is worse than us and has fewer people than us, has been fighting for more than two hours and has never been able to defeat each other!"

Over the years, the Roman army has been invincible in the Latin and Etruscan regions, and Freud, who has become accustomed to victory, has been difficult to accept the fact that the Roman army is not as good as the Dionyrian army. Of course, he knows Camillaus, and does not think that this highly respected veteran will distort the facts in order to embarrass his own crimes, so he couldn’t help but ask: "The combat strength of the Dionyrian army is so strong. ?!"

"Diagna's cavalry will not be mentioned first. You have already known the situation before. In terms of light infantry, we don't pay much attention to it. They are all provided by the allies. Therefore, they are disciplined, lack of training and cooperation. But the light infantry of Dionia has the archers who can invest in long-range lead pellets, archers and javelinmen. They have a good understanding and are well trained, so before I led the army, they only had one. A thousand light infantry can suppress our 2,000 light infantry and 700 cavalry..."
