Chapter 35： Mitradat's strategy

After a long time, the deputy, Felicius, came to report: "All the troops are ready."

Davers said with a blank expression: "Go ahead."

Before, he still didn't feel obvious in the squad. Now as the leader, overlooking the whole situation, he found the problem. In the past life, although he was not a soldier, he also knew how many of the foundations of the military to win the battle. He was disciplined and quick-moving. In the military training of the university, the emergency collection was calculated in minutes. It’s good now, it took more than an hour from the trumpet to the line-up, which dragged out the excitement of his just as a leader.

Now, in the military, there is no prestige. He can only observe quietly, write down all the shortcomings, think about solutions, and wait until the time is ripe to talk about rectifying the army and reforming the military system. That would be a long time. path of.

After the team had nearly half of the camp, Felicius said: "Daves chief, we should also leave."

Davers nodded and Hilos had already brought his horse. Yesterday, when Davers learned that the leader was riding a horse, he was quite nervous. He could not ride a horse in his previous life. Who knows that after riding, actually control freely. It turned out that one of the most powerful riding races in the Mediterranean world was the Sesali. The original owner of the body had been sheep and horses, and the memory and instinctual memory of the body were enough to allow Davis to control freely. horses.

He grabbed the stables, jumped on the horse, and the legs were slightly clipped. The horses squinted and swayed, sprinting forward.

Daves stood upright and sat on it. Yesterday, Tormide’s remarks made him no longer consider sharing with the soldiers and giving the horses to the frail and disabled soldiers. Now he needs to do it high, reminding the soldiers: He, Dafos is the leader of the whole army! As for the practice of buying people's hearts, let's talk about when he becomes a famous star.

Riding on the horse, looking at the mighty team, Daves naturally gave birth to a passion: the husband should be like this!

Davers controlled the horse slowly, followed by Felicius, and Asistics, followed by the walking Hilos Guard. Out of the military camp, and then marching forward, it is the place where the whole army meets.

Duffus had thought that his team was slow, and he didn't expect other teams to arrive. It seems that action dragging is a common problem for mercenaries, and everyone is used to it.

The Spartan team of Chris Sophos has already stood in front. When Davers ridden and greeted him, there was no small commotion in the passing team. Other military soldiers recognized him as the leader who made a wonderful speech yesterday. However, there are still some people who are high on a young man who is not stinking. He is both embarrassed and dissatisfied. The swearing words that question his commanding ability make Asistance squint and look angry. Daves was unheard of, just looking forward.

Only the team of Guest Thorpes was quiet as if he didn't see him coming, which made Davers seriously look at these real Spartan warriors: I saw them wearing a full set of arms, arranged in neat rows. Square array, individual type, standing silently, like a tall and straight pine, has become a unique landscape of this noisy confluence. And in their sharp and murderous eyes, let Daves feel that once this silence breaks out, what powerful power will be released! Body, skill, tactics, discipline, and oneness, this is the Spartan warrior!

Deavers looked enviously and looked at it: When can he command such an elite soldier! Later, he realized that only about one-third of the soldiers in the Thorpeths were real Spartan fighters, and the rest were the Pelicans.

On the sides of the Spartan army are teams of small mercenaries such as Sossis and Pasian. After the military conference, most of them joined the team of the guest Sophos, and several other leaders also joined the team. No one is interested in the military camp of Davers. In this regard, Davers also felt very helpless.

The Daves army was very fast this time because it basically followed the order of the camp: the outermost is the heavy infantry column, divided into four columns, the first column is arranged backwards in turn; the inner side is the light infantry column, The two columns, such as the light and heavy infantry, have the same length of tandem, about half a mile long before and after. When the enemy strikes from the outside of the left wing, the marching column soldiers can immediately turn right, the heavy infantry is in front, and the light infantry is behind, quickly forming a regular battle formation. The squatting camp is located on the inside of the light infantry, on the left side of this huge central open space. Davers and his escorts are between the light infantry and the heavy camp.

About half an hour later, the battalion was completed, the bronze horn sounded again, and finally it was possible to leave.

The speed of marching is not fast, mainly due to the heavy burden of various camps. Tents, food, medicine, articles and other materials that cannot be carried by people must be carried by cattle and horses. Horses can't be too heavy a carriage, otherwise the harness will squeeze their neck trachea, causing suffocation; the bull is stronger than the horse, but the stamina is not good, and the temperament is not reliable.

Davers saw that Mercy was in heavy camp, shuttled back and forth, dealing with unexpected situations, and greeted the soldiers from time to time to help. Daves secretly thanked himself for obeying the advice of Mersis, sending him a squadron in advance to assist him in the camp. In the end, Daphus's eyes fell on the Christopher among the women. Although she was dressed in the same way, her figure and temperament were like standing out, and it was easy to recognize.

Christovia seems to have an induction, turning his head and looking at it.

Davers was busy regaining his gaze.

"The speed of such a march can't go ten miles a hour," he said.

"There is no good intrusion by the Persians." Felicius was glad to have just finished speaking, and there was a commotion in the back.

"What happened?" Daphus was nervous and asked.

Assisi immediately sent the soldiers to the rear to check.

After a while, the commander rushed back to the horse: "It was the Persian general Mitradat! He brought about 30 cavalry and shouted loudly away from the right wing of the whole army!"

Attacking the heart! Davers brows.

"Mitradat is the general of the small Cyrus, but his set does not work, we have been to the Persians once, the fool will be on the second time." Filipinos is not busy Said.

Daves nodded and said: "Monitor Mitradat, continue to inquire!" At the same time, let Assisi send another commander, so that the news can be returned alternately.

......

"There are more than twenty soldiers who abandoned their weapons and ran to the Persians!...they...they surrendered to Mitradat!"

Davers’s heart is awkward Obviously, Felicius overestimated the wisdom of the mercenary. What's more, the forces of Hieronymus were arguing yesterday about the election of the leader. Now it is easy for Mitradat to use a lie to tear the seams of the non-common Shironimos apart. What caused the snowball-like effect of the whole army? Davers began to worry.

"Mitra Dart went round the back of the army and shouted to the troops of Kryno!... About ten soldiers dropped their weapons and ran to the Persians!"

Damn it! The fear of Davers is being fulfilled.

Felicius also looked nervous.

It seems that Mitradat is ready to circle around the huge formation of the mercenary, constantly disintegrating the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Moreover, he will soon come to the front of the Daves force!

"If you can drive him away, then," said Assist, hate. But he also knows that this is impossible. The other side is a light cavalry. It is like a wind, and the mercenary has no cavalry at all.

"Just shoot him with a javelin!" Mattonis pulled out the javelin on his back and shouted in the escort.

"How to shoot?! Waiting for you to take the javelin out, the Persians ran far away! What's more, the javelin has not been shot by the Persian horse bow!" Asistics retorted.

A flash of light flashed through Devers's mind, and he eagerly asked the ambassador: "How far is our array from when Mitradat yells?"

"About 100 meters."

"Was the surrendered soldiers ran over, did the Persians back?"

"No."

......

Davers asked a few questions in a row. After receiving the reply, he faced Shen Lisi's doubtful eyes and indulged him. Then he said to Philip Hughes: "Now, I have an idea. Can you see it?" ”
