Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 2 Chapter 27: Turai Battle (3)

"Hey, these brothers are so powerful! It’s a hero who can kill Percy and kill it!"

"Oh, those who cast the stone, they are my fellow, Rhode Island!"

"And we are the Thrace people, how accurate they are to throw the javelin! I really want to take off the bulky armor, pick up the javelin and join them!"

......

Dracos heard the praise and envy of the soldiers around him. He squeezed the belt behind the round shield: "Come on, the indigenous people, come and taste our power!" At this moment, he was arrogant.

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

Cincinnage, the confident head of the city of Picosias, never thought that his troops had a sap before they actually took the battle. What made him even more depressed was that the traditional Lukadian weapons were javelin, spear and dagger, and the javelin was their strength. In order to better attack the Greeks, most of them were replaced with heavy equipment. A small number of javelinmen are in the back, and the enemy's bows and flying stones have extended to the back. The javelinmen are under the attack. Only a few people can fight back, but the enemy can't be seen. The number of enemies is small and scattered. The result is naturally There are very few. Fortunately, there are not many light infantrymen in the enemy, and the two sides of the right-wing square are still less affected. Therefore, Cincinneg has no choice but to urge both ends to accelerate toward the center, trying to surround or disperse these nasty and terrible enemies...

The Lukalians in the middle and left have seen the tragic experience of the right wing, fearing that they will suffer the same situation. The soldiers and the leaders have subconsciously accelerated the speed of advancement, hoping to get in touch with the Greek army as soon as possible.

Tens of thousands of soldiers took a big step forward and trembled.

Achta, Firrus, Dracos, etc., every general and leader began to shout: "Shield defense!"

At the forefront of the square, the soldiers stepped on the left foot, the right foot was on the back, the round shield was on the left front, the lance was raised, and the spear pointed to the front. The soldiers in the back row are stacked one on top of the other, against the back of the soldier in front, the rifle is probed, the shield is connected... The whole square is like a huge metal monster with long thorns.

The hundreds of meters of charge plus a slightly higher terrain (the flat in the Sobari plain, the westward extension is gradually rising), the Lukania warriors with a strong momentum, straight into the Greek infantry phalanx.

A loud bang, the day of the end of April 399 BC, the battle between the Turiya and Lucania tribes officially began...

For both sides, this is a life-and-death battle, but in the eyes of the powerful powers of the Mediterranean, it is so inconspicuous: Carthage and Syracuse will not notice, because the two sides are accumulating power to compete for the Sicilian leadership. Right, is about to start a new round of confrontation; Rome will not notice, because they are busy besieging and attacking the Etruscan Grand Bonwe in the upper reaches of the Tiber River; Sparta and Persia will not notice because both sides They are all preparing for the upcoming war in Asia Minor; Athens will not notice, because their energy is placed on how to restore the national strength of the long-term war as soon as possible, and at the same time force the Spartan hegemony. Macedonia will not notice that at this time its kingdom is torn apart, the kings are frequently replaced, and the Macedonians who are suffering from internal and external problems may be looking forward to the mighty monarchs to save them from the heat... hundreds of thousands of kingdoms, city-states and races in the Mediterranean or Busy to survive, or busy with aggression, no thoughts and no ability to understand the battle between two unknown forces in the southern Italian peninsula. However, this time of the war (later known as the Battle of Turui) has unveiled the most beautiful and brilliant new chapter in the vast ancient history of the Mediterranean.

The Lukarias are mountain tribes. They are passionate and impulsive. In the fast sprint, their warfare continues to rise, so they see the spurs in front of them. Some fighters think of the shields emphasized by the former leaders. The impact, they have been filled with the high spirits of the brain, they jumped directly into the body, especially Grummentum, the long-term battle has produced a large number of warriors who fight for a living, so people who take this "reckless" action Not a few, although more vulnerable to stab wounds, but it disturbed the Greek defense defensive formation.

In particular, the Turui Citizens and the Dracos mercenaries in the middle of the road, because they have not been trained together before, the cooperation is not very tacit, the natural array of horizontal rows are not too close, plus Dracos on the mountain people This type of impact of race has not been seen and lacks the means to cope. Therefore, the Greek army road was in a difficult battle at the beginning...

The Talantum Citizens of the Greek right wing in the front of the square are obviously more experienced in dealing with the impact of the Lukaniya fighters, and the Niutum and Raos fighters are far less fierce than Grummantum. It did not cause too much impact on the right wing of the Greek army. The shields of the two sides collided with the shield, and the guns came to the spear. They began to push and kill... Two hundred cavalrymen also rushed to the front, occasionally hitting the side of Lukaria’s left wing, as long as the Lucania fighters stepped forward, they Immediately pulled back, the Greek cavalry is still a flower in the greenhouse, they are far from the superb riding of the Numidians, and there is no such thing as Gaul and the Germanic cavalry, only the beginning of harassment. But even so, Lucania's left wing is alert and afraid to go all out. Therefore, even if they have more people than the right-wingers of the Greek army, the square is thicker and the two sides are still in a state of mutual support...

When the left and middle roads of the Lukania coalition forces began to fight, the right wing was still advancing slowly. The mercenary light infantrymen fled back and forth, successfully delaying the forward speed of the enemy forces. Fifty meters, the light infantry part exited the battlefield from the front side of the square array, and part of it passed through the gap of the square array and retreated to the rear.

At this time, the formation of the right wing of the Lukánian coalition has become a crescent shape, with both ends protruding and the middle road recessed. Cincinnage, who is in the lineup, has lost control of the army and is unable to reshape his formation. The only thing he can do is to command the trumpeter to blow the horn of the charge. The only 50 meters will be the final sprint of the soldiers. The bonus, just as the horn blew, there was a rhythmic copper horn on the opposite side, which made Cincinn Nadgton vigilant, nervous guessing what would happen to this powerful enemy next time~www.novelmtl .com~ At the forefront of the front line, the body was also injured. Gennanet clearly saw the opposite of the Greek heavy infantry, the right arm was raised, the body leaned back, but the legs crossed forward two steps, this action ... Grennet, who is already a frightened bird, is extremely quick to shrink the whole body under the shield.

Thousands of javelins leaped tens of meters in an instant, falling into the Lukaria array that was just about to charge. It was no longer a blossoming wave like the one before, but a wave of death, a few hundred deaths and injuries. Almost born to block the speed of the Lukaria team...

At this moment, the terrifying copper horn sounded again and again, and the Greek mercenaries immediately shouted: "Hades!" Holding a shield gun and rushing forward.

The mercenary's charge was not all the troops. The right end did not go forward because of the connection with the middle road. The soldiers in the middle and left ended completely ignoring the thinness of their own arrays and the numerous enemies. The army, like the long dragon, is extremely powerful to shake the tail.

The front of the Lucanias has not been tempered by the javelin attack, and the formation is chaotic. At this moment, the mercenary army's assault came one after another. The soldiers used the kinetic energy of the sprint speed to be extremely skillful. They used the shield to hit the other side and opened the opponent's defense. Then the right-handed lance was like a poisonous snake. Quickly and accurately stab the throat or face of the enemy of the other enemy, the front row of the Lucanias brushed down the next row of people...

Such horrific attack efficiency and compelling momentum scared the Lukarias in the back row. They were brave enough to start to retreat at this moment... Mercenaries step by step, Lucanias step by step Retreat... The collapse of the right wing of the Lukánian coalition right wing is in sight.

Note: One of the northernmost towns of Vergae Bruga, bordering on Ruos.
