v6 Chapter 175： Crotone Battle (1)

West Pross is thoughtful.

The native of the Crotones Milon reminded: "The Tacina Di River can be involved, be careful that the Syracuse is not only the focus of the attack on the left."

Tormed said with a smile: "We have already undergone a rigorous investigation in advance. As far as we know, it is still difficult to step in the upper section of the middle reaches of the Tacina Di River, so Duffus has ordered that the formation The marching position of the Seventh Legion at the far right must not cross the middle end of the middle reaches of the Tacina Di River."

Tormide's description made Milon and Cipros's face more dignified.

"Syracuse's heavy infantry is not weak, and there are a large number, and they will definitely place those alien cavalry in this attack against us. Although we Crotones do not fear death, but - "Miron is now difficult Although he did not participate in the Battle of the Ramatu River, in the battle of Crotone, he witnessed the day when the Syracuse infantry broke the city. And from the mouth of the soldiers, he also learned that those who hired the cavalry were powerful: "Once we can't resist the full attack of Syracuse from the left wing, it will definitely affect the success or failure of the whole battle!"

At this time, Sipros answered: "Since King Davers has deliberately set up such a formation in advance, guiding the Syracuse to focus on the left wing, there must be corresponding countermeasures."

"Yes." Tolmid said in a positive color: "Diaonia's most powerful first and second legions will support the entire left wing with you. I believe that even if the enemy is no more, it will not easily kill you!" On your left side, there are more than 1,500 riders of the Daonian Cavalry Corps, blocking the enemy's cavalry from attacking our flank. The most important thing is - "Tormid's face has a strange color: "In You will be equipped with a spear brigade behind you, who will be responsible for defeating the enemy cavalry and counterattacking the enemy!"

A large team of thousands of people, actually want to decide the outcome of the left wing? ! Both Milon and Cipros are confused because they all know Dionia well, knowing that the Dionya army is relatively fixed. Unlike the average Greek city-state, the number of troops and the number of troops assembled each time is large. The same, so they can be sure that they have not heard of the formation of the spear brigade in all the Legionian corps before: Is it a force that has just been formed after the war broke out, and if so, it will have a strong Fighting power? !

The two looked at each other and they were puzzled.

Tolmide’s mysterious smile: “You will know before the battle begins.”

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

With the steady progress of the Daonian army, the Syracuse hiring cavalry also began to retreat quickly.

The two armies of Dionya and Syracuse are only nine miles away. After more than an hour of travel, they are getting closer and closer to the Syracuse army.

When the sun in the middle of the sky began to turn west, Dionysius in front of the center of the big squad heard the sound of "Oh! Hey!..." coming from the front, getting louder and louder, even the ground was slightly shock……

His Majesty's horse began to be restless and screaming, and Dionysius smacked his neck with some anger, indicating that it was quiet.

The attendant at the side met and was busy coming to appease the horse.

"The Diaonians are coming..." He whispered to the attendants with a dignified look.

After a while, I saw the extreme distance of the line of sight, raised the dusty dust, and slowly drifted toward them. As the dust and fog advances, it becomes more and more huge, and it extends infinitely to the east and west ends. If you can't see the head, it is like the dark clouds that are thicker and thicker in the sky before the storm. It is overwhelming and suffocating. It will make people wonder how terrible the power it is dying and the soon to erupt...

Although Syracuse has more troops, the soldiers who havetily completed the formation have not had time to experience and integrate into this huge phalanx. Therefore, they face the Daonian army, which is like a mountain and a tide. feel nervous.

Dionysius frowned and said in a hurry: "Go to the right wing and urge Pfeidas, and quickly complete his plan, the enemy may be attacking!"

"Yes, adults!" The commander galloped away.

Dionysius stared at the front with a dignified look.

The huge dust and fog belt has stopped moving at a distance of six or seven hundred meters, and then you can hear the short squad, the snare drum, the shouts, and the shattered footsteps, the armor shield and the spear collision... ...

Dionysius knew that the Devonians were reorganizing the array, so they were very anxious. Although the commander had just left for a while, he felt that he had left for a long time.

The time is constantly changing, and the sound from the opposite side gradually decreases from the beginning of the loud and deafening volume until it disappears. Finally, the quiet sound seems to be from the auditory hallucination. It does not exist from the beginning, only the sky. The dust mist is gradually drifting...

"Adult, General Pybidas has already completed the array, and he hopes that you can delay the time and let the soldiers be able to breathe." The commander rushed back and gasped.

Dionysius knows.

He looked at the front, and the dust had already been exhausted. In his vision, there was a huge number of the Dionyrian army. Under the sunshine, the armor and shield spears of the closely-arranged soldiers reflected the dazzling The cold light is like an endless steel wall.

But unlike the last battle of the Lamato River, Dionysius saw not only black, but also yellow and cyan, and several colors intertwined in a huge square, which shows that Dionya Although they have put together an amazing number of troops, they cannot guarantee that every soldier can get what they call "standard equipment," which makes Dionysius a little more confident. He said to the attendant next to him. "Go to the Dionians, I want to talk to their new king!"

The attendant official nodded and understood that he was standing out and rushing across the military array. At 50 meters from the Dionyrians, he rode the horse and shouted: "Dave the king of Dionia, Syracuse's plenipotentiary General Dionysius wants to talk to you in front of you! King Daves of Dionia..."

As early as the commander, the Syracuse people’s shouts were told to Daves at the back of the military.

Daves was a little addicted and said to the next Tormede: "What do you think Dionysius is looking for?"

"Your Majesty." Tormid thought for a moment and said: "...Dionysius may be curious, how the opponents who make him have a headache grow up."

For Thormy's concealed flattery, Davers laughed: "I don't have time to play this little kid's game with him."

Daves paused and asked: "Is the spear team completely in place?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. And according to your instructions, they did not raise their spears." Tolmide replied.

"That is afraid that the cruising Syracuse hiring cavalry found an abnormality. Don't underestimate the Sicilian lord, he is very alert!" Daves did not dare to sneak the enemy, but he was also full of confidence, since the enemy did gather in their Right wing, I hope the spear team can give them a surprise.

Daves stared at the black-backed enemy in front of him, and said with impatience: "Tormid, you tell the heads of the army, let them tell their brothers, for the sacrifice of the Draco Corps, to die It’s time for the Warriors to avenge the devastated Dionysians! Let them sing Hades’s songs and prepare for the attack!”

"Yes!" Tolmid responded loudly.

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

Milon finally saw the spear team he had been curious about.

In the general military construction of the Greek city-state, a brigade is composed of about a thousand people, and the spear brigade that is lined up behind their array has 6,000 people, all of which are not enough to be unique to Dionia. The preparation of a legion.

And when Daves first said the word "Lance Brigade," Milon was surprised by the name. Except for light infantry, almost Greek infantry were armed with spears (the lancet is a spear), Need to emphasize it in particular! When he saw the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, he finally understood why it was called "spears". Although the soldiers did not lift them up, but they were flat, they could clearly see its style despite the lance. Very similar, but the length is significantly longer! And the soldiers are not wearing a single, wearing a single, 6,000 people in the rear of Crotone and Trina soldiers, but did not go to thicken the front array, but take the array of columns and the front.

The long stab gun, the soldier without the armor, the formation of the column... Miron was full of curiosity and doubts, and couldn’t help but think: What is Daves’ preparation for such a strange force?

Just when he guessed itDaigna’s array sounded Hades’s song: “I devoutly praise you, black-haired Hades!

You are the king of the prison, the ruler of the night!

You are a fair judge, a strict supervisor!

......"

Each soldier sings with enthusiasm and devotion, in order to receive the blessing of the great Pluto of divine power. Numerous sounds gathered in the sky above the Dionysian military squadron, gradually becoming tidy and uniform, echoing in the battlefield of dozens of miles, echoing the sound of the wind and the sound of water, extremely solemn and grand!

Dionysius heard very clearly before his own line, and his face changed: "Damn Diaon, they are going to attack! Fast! Go and inform the soldiers to pray immediately to Apollo, prepare attack!"

After that, he pulled back and walked through the gap reserved in the square, and went to the rear.

The voice of Dionya is over, and the prayers in Siracusa have just begun.
