v5 Chapter 86： Battle of the Anerne Hills (end)

Pucciti’s messenger who had sent for help had already reached the battlefield of ambushing Tarantum, but he could not see the city officials of Mesapi, headed by Paxi Mulhouse, because everyone was involved in Tarantum. In the army's cofferdam

The Greek heavy infantry has a strong defense, and the defense is stronger in the melee. The heavy infantry who only defends against attack is simply a hard turtle shell. It takes time and effort to open it. [Latest chapter reading]

The first ambush of the Mesapi people cut the Tarantum-like marching column into more than a dozen segments. When surrounded by each enemy, the number of Mesapi soldiers was insufficient. But as the battle progressed, the increase in the casualties of the Tarantum made each encirclement smaller and smaller.

If you don't hear the voice of Dionya, the Tarantums may have given up fighting, and now they support their continued adherence, only the belief of living. It can be eliminated with the small encirclement of one after another, and the shackles that are placed around the neck of the remaining soldiers begin to tighten.

Heitbarus has heard that Prosuous has performed extremely well in the boot camp, but he did not expect that on the real battlefield, Prosuos will not be as soft as a killer. It is not like a first battle (not originally ), his round shield defense, topping and stabbing guns are very skilled and ingenious. The stab guns will not wave indiscriminately, but as long as they are shot, they can cause the enemy to scream, which is really flawed and accurate. The sizzling nature of Prosuos made the fierce Puchettis fearful, and they subconsciously avoided his assault.

Under the leadership of Prosuos, the teammates are vying for each other, and the Petchi’s defense is at stake.

Matonis, who was supervised by the Brigade of the Brigade, saw this scene below. He couldn’t help but be excited and asked loudly: "Who is the warrior at the forefront?!"

The captain Pamanius quickly responded in the small square before him: "Prosuos!"

"It's Prosuos!!" The teammates also rushed to answer.

"The chief commander, the third battalion of Matonis broke through the enemy's defense!"

"The fourth battalion of Amintas has also broken through!"

"Epitunis, Zipeter's light infantry squadron defeated the enemy's flank!"

"Izam's Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade converged with Heraclia and Metapontom's forces also defeated the enemy's flank!"

A good news came one after another. When Tolmide reported it to Davers, the singer Marcus couldn’t help but exclaimed excitedly: "Great! We finally won!"

Davers also showed a relieved smile: "Command, then blow the attack horn and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

"Retreat - retreat - bar" Tremney looked bleak, but still calm. After all, he did not experience failure. The last war with the Dani people lost a lot of land. He also came over. .

In fact, he did not need to order at all, the whole army has collapsed, and the Pucciti fighters rushed to escape.

When Tremeni left, he did not forget to look at the top of the mountain again. It seemed that he had to keep the dazzling banner in his heart.

"Da Wang, do you want to tell the Mesapi people?" Pullo reminded him.

Tremeni’s mood was low, and he didn’t want to say anything at all. He could look at the collapse of the mountains and the mountains. The Mesapi people didn’t know how to be a good person. He sighed: “Send someone to tell them, Dionya. People attack fiercely, we don't block, retreat or continue to fight, let them make their own decisions."

The soldiers beside them fell one by one, and Diomes was also injured in many places. He felt that this time he was afraid to return to the Hades, and the Mesapi people who surrounded them suddenly stunned.

He heard what the enemy was yelling at, but he couldn't understand the language of Mesapi, but some of the soldiers had already shouted with excitement in their tired voice: "The Mesapi said that the Pucciti were defeated! The Onyas won! We are saved!!"

When the soldiers in despair heard these words, they immediately cheered up and shouted the news of victory. They finally turned into the same voice: "Keep it! Hold it!! The Dionian reinforcements will arrive soon!!!"

Time spent a minute and a hard time, the Mesapi people's attack gradually weakened, and eventually withdrew.

In the face of the withdrawal of the Mesapi people, Dai Omiras did not pursue it. In fact, he could not command any soldier at the moment. All Tarantum soldiers, like him, resisted for more than two hours, physical strength and energy. Consumed to the limit.

He sat down on the ground and didn't want to stand up. The rest of his life was full of joy. He saw the bodies of soldiers in the same place and the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground. Everyone was not happy.

In this campaign, the Mesapi people suffered 1,200 casualties. The main casualties were from the reinforcements of the cavalry, and the casualties of the Igradia heavy infantry.

The Puchetti casualties are less than 600. The reason for their casualties is that when the infantry is fighting, the frontal battles often have little casualties, and the main losses are after the rout. Like the second battle between Dionya and Crotone, chasing by light infantry and cavalry, and escaping most of the fleeing Crotone inner infantry, such a good opportunity did not appear in this mountain battle. Because the Petchi people are familiar with the mountains and the equipment is simple, it is these characteristics that make it impossible for them to catch the light and heavy infantry of Diaonia when they flee, and the cavalry of Dionia did not play in the battle. Even if it appeared on the battlefield, there was no way to take Puchetti in the mountains.

On the other side of the war, Tarantum had more than 4,000 casualties, nearly one-third of his army's strength, and the majority of the war dead; Dionia had 600 casualties, but most of them were wounded, most of them fell from the slopes. Injury suffered; more than 800 people were injured in Heraclea and Metapontom. Therefore, although the Mepu coalition retreats in the end, the loss of the Greek coalition forces is actually more serious. Only Mesapi, Puchetti lost a lot of cavalry, and also made Dionia get nearly 400 high-quality horses.

When Davis saw Diomeras, he did not show the savior's posture, still facing him in a normal attitude, and also enthusiastically directed the medical team to rescue Tarantum's wounded soldiers, let Diomela Si was ashamed.

The Meip coalition forces withdrew from the hills of Allen, entered the territory of Tarantum, and quickly retreated north.

The Greek coalition forces were unable to catch up because of exhaustion and excessive injuries. They were stationed in several nearby villages for temporary rest, and sent people to report the situation to Tarantum City and **** the wounded soldiers back to the camp.

On this day, the Dionysian Senate received a person.

His name is Mitlobats. He came to Dionia for help, but he was not from any of the Union city states of Dionia, but from the Xilu tribe in Bruti.

In the process of unification and unity, the Brutus tribal alliance of Cosenza began to speed up the compilation and merger of large and small tribes in the territory. Under the general trend and the coercion of force, most tribes chose to obey, but to Xilu A small number of tribes led by the tribe refused to integrate.

According to the words of Mitlobats: They are Greeks, and most of them were forced to flee into the mountains to avoid the disaster when they were destroyed. They have the pride of the Greeks, how can they be compiled by the barbarians, really Been to barbaric life.

The emissaries of the city of Bruti Cosenza made the Xilu tribe several times, and after persuading them to fail, there was no movement. The people of the Xilu tribe thought that things had passed. However, a few months later, after completing the ruling and effective management of most of the tribes in Bruty, Cosenza once again sent people to Weston.

This time the messenger's direct tough request: Xilu tribe immediately returned to the country, and completely accept the governance of the tribal alliance, otherwise it will send the army to destroy!

The Xilu tribe was panicked and hurried to send Mitlobats to Trina for help.

Trina himself did not have the ability to intervene in this matter, but it was good that Sipros had been vented with Dionysian consul Davers in advance, so Mitrotbats turned to Dionia for help.

On this day, the rotating chairman of the Senate was Cornelus. He looked at the messenger who claimed to be a Greek but looked completely different from the Greeks.

Mitlobats saw the doubts of the veterans and argued: "I have inherited the appearance of the mother from Bruti, just because my appearance is not like the Greeks Silu leader chose I, because only then will not cause doubts from the surrounding Bruti people."

Cornelus made a guilty conscience: Daves had mentioned the issue of Bruce before the expedition, but had not conducted in-depth deliberation, and was interrupted because of Tarantum’s request for help.

At this time, Polluxs stood up and said, "What can we do now in Diaonia? Protest to the Bruti people, let them not swallow this little tribe?! The adults here may not believe it. With our words, the Brutus can stop the action they have been preparing for a long time. What should we do once the Brutus refuses us?! If you give up, you will only lose Dionia as a wearer. The prestige of Fors's most powerful alliance! But if we want to take further action, then apart from the war, I can't think of any other measures that can be adopted.

However, this year the death of the Diaonian citizens has been enough! Now our consuls also lead our civic soldiers to fight the powerful Mesapi and Puceti in Tarantum! "Poluxis finger Mitlobats, a sad and horrible appearance, said in a deep tone: "And you look at the messenger from Xilu, he said that because they are Greek, it is better to fight than to kick people. But who knows if it is true! Are we willing to send our citizens to a strange and **** battlefield for a race that does not grow like ours, and fight against the fierce Brutus? ! ”
