v5 Chapter 3： Trionto River Battle (1)

Not only the soldiers, at the moment when the Daonian army appeared, Milon’s brain was also blank. He was trembling and pale, and he knew that he was cheated! The deceitful Dionya lied! I thought that there were too few enemies, and as a result, I rushed to let my army cross the river in front of the same huge army of the enemy. For any qualified general, this is an extremely wrong military action! But it is too late to retreat now. Retreat in front of the enemy, but also have to return to cross the river, this is even more taboo for the city-state civic soldiers who usually train, which means that without the great defeat of the battle, the Diaonians can easily Attack, let this seemingly gentle Trionto River become the grave of the Crotone civic.

Milon didn’t expect that the battle between Crotone and Dionia would happen suddenly at this time, but in the face of the decisive battle between the life and death of the city, he tried to force himself to calm down, fear and fear. They are thrown into the back and focus on the battle in front of them: "Blow all the bugs! Beep all the drums! Let the soldiers rush up! Courage across the river! We can win the hope!!" His anxious arm is high call.

The commanders immediately jumped into the river and shouted.

The sudden increase in the number of drums and drums urged the army to advance. The team officers in the line also knew that the situation was in danger and the leader took the lead.

Crotone's army began to accelerate, but the formation of the Dionysian army was very fast, and it was forced to come up. Because the cobblestones on the ground were not as charged as the heavy infantry in the past, they were steadily Close to...

When the two sides were only more than 20 meters apart, Kolbus saw the enemy in the opposite direction in the shouts of the team officers, suddenly stopped moving forward, the front row of enemies squatted slightly, and there were countless cold lights in the enemy line in the back row. The action the other party made made him immediately understand what was going to happen. He didn't even have the "Javelin" word to spit out, and he rushed down.

Just listening to "嗖!嗖!嗖!......" continuous whistling, it seems like a sudden gust of wind, accompanied by the screams of the past, in the blink of an eye, the front row of Crotone's entire army of soldiers fell down Not only did it interrupt the progress of the Crotone soldiers, but the formation of the front ranks of the army was also fragmented.

The Dionys did not give up, followed by a round of javelin throws. At such a close distance, the lethality of the heavy javelin is quite amazing.

Just as the Crotone soldiers rushed to avoid the javelin and rescue their companions, when the formation was in chaos, the Dionyns took the opportunity to make great strides, holding the Crotons with a round shield and frightening, two or three stabbing guns simultaneously. Poke to the enemy who just survived the javelin...

If it wasn't for the back row to make up, Crotone's front line almost collapsed. But as a result, Crotone's troops were blocked on the banks of the river. Milon's carefully prepared battles of more than 20 columns became a problem at this moment. On most rivers, they were half on the river bank and half in the river. In the river. In the case of heavy infantry, in addition to face-to-face killing, pushing the opponent in the same way as the tug-of-war competition in order to achieve a breakthrough is also another effective attack method, but the current situation of the Crotones is not effective. The unity of the unity, but in the strong push of the other side, slowly retreat.

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

When the javelin that covered the sky flew into Crotone's array, Milon felt his heart stop beating.

The heavy infantry of Dionia can actually throw a javelin! Milon regrets that he is too careless at this moment. He did not go into more detail about the tactical characteristics of the Dionysian army, look at their light infantry, and heavy infantry. This is obviously a unique tactic and well-trained. force!

Just as the death and injury of the soldiers of Milong’s heartache and the regret of their negligence, his men stared at the killing on the other side, anxiously shouting: “The **** Diaonians actually have so many infantry! They must be The reinforcements of Niutum and Raos arrived!"

Indeed, according to the return of the left and right wingers, the Devonian army has almost the same length and can oppress their own arrays to retreat. Despite the convenience of the terrain, the thickness is not much thinner than their own array. Is there a current 20,000 people in the Diaonian? Listening to the snoring of his men, but like a flash of lightning across Milon's mind, he is revengeful, and he has been carefully studying the secrets sent back to Turai, so he also knows about the Union of Dionia.

He remembered in the secret newspaper that: Turui had to go to Niutum for at least three days, and that he needed the same time to go to Raos, then even if the cavalry mobilization order was passed to Niutum and Raos, immediately The assembly troops set off and arrived in Turui. It took six days to go back and forth. After all, Turui-Niutum-Laos Avenue began to be built, and it was only four days from the declaration of war until now. Dionia convened the troops in advance. However, three days ago, the mercenaries had not attacked the Crimea, but he tortured several prisoners, including Criano and Tolikos. They all agreed that they had concealed Daves and decided to take it privately. Crimea's. Therefore, the reinforcements of Niutum and Raos should still be on their way to Turui, so where do so many Dionysian heavy infantry come from?

There are not so many citizens in Turui and Amendola. This point Milon can be sure, what he suddenly remembered: ... free people? ! It is the so-called registered free people of Dionia! !

Milon remembered in the previous secret report that Dionia also frequently organized their free men for military training. Milon still remembers that many people who had a Crotonean council ridiculed Dionya for hunger and food, and turned the rough free people into city-state citizens. It was a mess! But everything in front of us shows that this method of Dionia is still effective. These armor and hand-held shield spears that were previously worn by the poor free people are all from the Crotonian army who died last time or captured. Let's go!

Although Milon is resentful, he is more aware that Turif has even sent these free people to the battlefield, and I am afraid that it is all about it. Then they have extra troops! !

Milon looked at the battlefield in front of the killing, but the spirit was uplifted: "Utid Moss!"

"General, what?" The screaming man just responded.

"You immediately led the two thousand soldiers to the east and handed them to Ladfoss."

"What?! Didn't you want this unit to go up and strengthen the middle road before?!" asked Etihad Moss.

"Execute the order!" Milon blinked. The friend's son was working hard, and he was too active. "You tell General Ladfoss that there will not be too many enemies on the other side, so that he will not hesitate to die. After crossing the river, after defeating the enemy, rushed over to attack the army of Dionia! The victory or defeat of this battle depends on his actions!" Milon is very solemn.

"Understood!" Utid Moss reminded me through Milon that he saw the winner and excitedly rushed to execute the order.

Milon jumped off the horse, armed with a shield spear, led the escorts to wading through the river, joined the battle, and kept shouting, letting the soldiers fight heroically.

Since the Diaonian heavy infantry is mostly composed of preparatory citizens, he does not believe that these novices who were free people and never had any heavy infantry combat experience six months ago can grasp the essence of heavy infantry fighting in half a year. This is his Confidence. He firmly believes that even if the Crotone soldiers are in deep adversity, they can still insist on the arrival of the Ladforth army.

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

In the middle of the road in the Deonian Army squad, a big flag is erected. The top is also inlaid with the statue of Hades. It is obviously larger than the flag of the Legion, and the flag is also large. It is embroidered with only Daves. The big golden letter There are three legions in the Dionysian League. Daves certainly has to abdicate and return to his original position. According to the old tradition, the governor has always served as the city-state commander. Officer, so Daphus’s highest position in the coalition army is the chief commander of the Dionysian army (the highest commander).

At this moment, Davers is also paying attention to the movements of the enemy on the other side.

"The commander is an adult, the enemy has troops going downstream!" Aristotle is telling loudly that as a talented person in Daves, Davers has the same mentality to train him like Asistics, so he also fights. Let him follow, but after all, he is still a free man, so he can only be temporarily named as a clerk.

Davers has long waited for this moment: "Tormid!"

"Commander, please order!" Tomimed's answer was a heartfelt respect.

The original rapid entry of Crotone was greatly unexpected to the generals. In the case that the troops of Niutum and Raos could not arrive in time, the strength of the two sides was a little different. During the military debate, many people proposed to give up the reinforcement of Castron and stick to Turui to wait for the reinforcements to arrive and then fight. However, Davers tried to push the line to Castron, and for the long-established prestige, everyone was finally convinced.

He recruited all the citizens who were trained and able to fight in Turai and Amendola, and the registered free people, and even some of the free people who had just arrived in Turui. This did take a lot of risks. It is known that the army of Dionia is concentrated in Castellón, and the rear of Turui and Amendola Lama has almost no defensive power except for a small number of troops in the port. If Crotone's fleet landed on the coast of the plains of Sobari, then Dionia would be unstoppable for a while, but Davers would dare to make such bold actions.
