v6 Chapter 182： Crotone Battle (8)

However, in response to the danger, Ledes was reacted with the spear and the horse and the enemy riding from the south. At the same time, he shouted: "The brothers of the cavalry regiment, hold on! Never let the enemy escape from us! ”

Ledes was the first to take the lead, so that even if the Dionysian cavalry was attacked on both sides, they were fighting and fighting.

The Sicilian Allied cavalry, the Numidian cavalry, and the Dionysian cavalry were strangled together and the fighting was fierce.

Capps had expected this to happen before the battle, and there were arrangements, so he did not hesitate to send the 500 light armor reserve teams left by him.

The light armor of the leather shield quickly rushed to the left side of the spear square, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the cavalry of Syracuse, and the next round of the Syracuse cavalry was attacked on both sides.

Astagras also did not want to be outdone, calling on the cavalry to fight fiercely.

The four teams are staggered and bloody, and they have become the most tragic area of ​​this battlefield.

In the end, the Numidians on the inside were the first to bear, and they saw that the battlefield at the rear became less crowded because of the successive withdrawal of the Nuomibian companions in the back of the center. At the same time, the soldiers of the spears continued to The people in front of the squad were smashed down, so the war began to subside, and they turned and fled.

The situation of the Sicilian Allied cavalry, which was difficult to support, became more difficult. Astagras saw the situation and wanted to withdraw, but the Dionysian cavalry and the light armor were lingering, and only 300 Sicilian allied cavalry escaped.

The Celtic cavalry was almost completely annihilated in the battle, and the leader Gaba was also killed. Their resistance earned some time for the Numidians.

Nearly a thousand Numidah cavalry were able to escape contact with the spears. These ethnic groups from the Afrikaans desert were usually arrogant, and this time they were obviously scared, even though there were only more than 600 on the right side of the spear square. The chasing of the Dionysian cavalry, they did not dare to go back to fight, or throw a javelin, but panic is to flee south, including its leader Axi Lita, he fled to the forefront.

As soon as the battle on the left ended, Ledes fell from the battle and was shocked to catch up with the rescue. I saw him bloodstained and wounded all over the body, especially the left leg was spurted by a spear. A coconut-sized wound, the blood can not stop flowing.

The guards were busy bandaging the wounds, but he was weak and shouted: "Fast... Go and call Cuccius... Call Cuccius."

Once the young and powerful cavalry squad leader, now the battle-fighting cavalry captain Cuccius heard the call of the head of the army and immediately rushed to Ledes.

"I ordered... I ordered you to lead the remaining cavalry (the Diaonian cavalry fighting on the left side of the spear square) to continue chasing... chasing the enemy, don't give them any chance to breathe."

"Yes!" Cuchius made a powerful military ceremony, turned and wanted to stop, and stopped. He said with concern: "Head of the army, you should raise your wounds and wait for my good news!"

Ledes waved impatiently: "Go ahead... go..."

Cuccius turned to the horse and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Although the remaining more than 400 cavalry were exhausted, the victory gave them new strength. They shouted in unison and followed Cuccius to chase the Syracuse cavalry who fled.

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

"Let the captain, we won! We repelled the enemy cavalry!" The cheers of the soldiers sounded at the ear, and Tapirus looked at the blurred figure of the enemy who was fleeing in front of him. The heart suddenly felt relieved and felt the pair of spears. The arms are sore, the sweat of the body is drenched, the dust is sticky, and the sweat stains are very uncomfortable, but he knows that it is not relaxing at the moment. According to the pre-war deployment, there is still a fight.

"Re-assemble! Give me a re-collection!..." Just as he yelled at the soldiers, the sorghum's squad had already sounded, and the exciting spearmen who wanted to chase had stopped moving forward.

The commanders rushed around the square and called the senior team officers to reorganize their formation.

At this time, Capps had already rushed to Ledes to pay attention to his injury.

"Do not worry... I can't die." Leddes tried to squeeze a smile, the vibration of the guard when he carried him on the stretcher, or let him frown and show a painful expression.

"Lighter! Lighter!" Capps shouted dissatisfied.

"Capus." Ledes was pale, and at the moment did not call the old comrade in front of him, he whispered: "We cavalry ... have completed our mission ... you can rest assured, Syracuse The cavalry will not come again... I will see you next..."

Capps solemnly nodded and turned to the horse and gave him a military ceremony: "Good health, victory belongs to Dionia!"

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

The spear team finally re-arranged, and the front line is not facing the south, but directly facing the rear of the right wing of Siracusa, 100 meters away.

Capps let the soldiers who broke the spears out of the battle, so the soldiers in the entire phalanx only had nearly 4,000 remaining. At this time, there were only 170 people in the establishment of the two hundred people of Tapirus, and the number of spears remained intact.

"呜!!!..." The attacking army quickly blew, and the flag waved, pointing to the front.

Tapirus and other team officials yelled: "Go forward!"

The soldiers steadily moved forward and the victory gave them enough confidence. This time their opponents will be heavy infantry.

On the left side of the spear square is two thousand light armor, they will do their best to protect the biggest weakness of the spear square wing.

As the fighting continues and the number of injured increases, the Kate reinforcements are no longer able to compete with the enemy as they did at the beginning. The thick array of Syracuse people began to show their power, and the force they pushed forward pushed the Kate reinforcements more and more difficult, forcing them to retreat to ease the pressure. However, they were forced to retreat. They could not control the rhythm of the whole army in the same way as the first and second legions of the Dionynia. The result was that the pressure was increasing.

Under the shouts of Milon and Cipros, the soldiers supported by the bravery of the blood...

Just then, the front of the right side of the right wing of Syracuse in front of them suddenly sounded a loud military sound.

Milon and Sipros are still not sure about each other: "Is it the voice of Dionya?"

Anthony, who is a few hundred meters away from them, has accurately judged the voice of Dionia. He knows that the Davos battle plan must understand that the spear team has repelled the cavalry of Syracuse. He was preparing to slap the rear of the right wing of Syracuse, and he was suddenly refreshed.

Immediately, the number one of the first legion attacked.

Then, the head of the Second Legion, Amintas, even drove the horse to the back of his army, and yelled loudly: "Brothers, offense! Offensive! Let the Syracuse know that we are amazing!..."

In fact, the attack of the spear square can not cover the entire right rear of Syracuse, and even can only directly help the Kate reinforcements, but the attack of the first and second leg can control the enemy in front of them and let them I dare not draw too many rear soldiers to block the spears.

"Enemy! The enemy is attacking from the rear!..." The soldiers at the far right rear of the right wing of Syracuse heard the sound of the military squad, then they heard the screams coming from behind, and they looked back and panicked. The team officers hurriedly organized them to turn to fight.

Just as there was some confusion in the rear right side of the right wing of Syracuse, the soldiers of the Dionysian Spears began to step up and the original erected spears began to level out: the first column, The second, third, fourth, and fifth columns... form a dense wall of spears in front of the square.

"Apollo is on, this rifle is too long!" The Syracuse soldiers were horrified watching the enemies that had approached and stopped moving three meters away from them. Countless shaking spears had stabbed them. On the body, and their stab guns could not reach the enemy at all, the Syracuse people who encountered this situation for the first time were in a panic.

"Shield wall! erect the shield wall!..." Some Syracuse team officials shouted in a panic. In such a chaotic situation, the Syracuse phalanx lacked unified and effective command and lacked emergency means.

The pressure on the Croatian reinforcements has suddenly eased.

How Milon and Cipros were willing to let go of this opportunity, and immediately issued the command of the charge. The soldiers, with the anger of revenge, rushed to the enemy who burned their home.

The Syracuse soldiers in the forefront of the square array heard the noisy shouts of their comrades behind them, and at the same time they could not feel the support they gave. I couldn’t stop thinking: What happened? Are you surrounded? Are they going to run away? ......

Their fighting spirit is falling has been unable to fight wholeheartedly.

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

"Your Majesty, the spear brigade led by Capps has already repelled the cavalry of Syracuse and is now attacking the right wing of Syracuse!" Tormed excitedly reported to Davis.

Davers grew a sigh of relief, and his nervousness was relieved. He calmed his emotions a little and immediately issued an order: "Tormid, you immediately inform Lizam, let him lead the reconnaissance brigade and the two Thousands of light armor, crossing the Tacina di River, and attacking the left wing side of Syracuse!"

When Tolmed heard the order, he first saw it. He knew that in the original plan of Daves, the reserve team of 3,000 soldiers was planning to prevent the enemy from being able to resist the enemy. Attack, put it on the left wing to enhance its defense; or wait for the spear to attack the enemy side, and at the same time put the reserve team into the left wing to accelerate the defeat of the enemy's right wing, but now take this power away Attacking the left wing of Syracuse? !
