v6 Chapter 183： Crotone Battle (9)

Davers saw his doubts and explained: "Capps completed the prior plan, our left wing is safe, and the victory is only a matter of time. But I did not think that Matonis, Oliver's army will do it. So good, the right wing has been pushed so much, it can be seen that the enemy's left wing is quite weak, now I want to add more pressure to the left wing of Syracuse, you say it will collapse?!

"I am going to inform Izam now, I am afraid he can't wait any longer." Understand that Defoss intends to run to the reserve team on the side.

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

At this time, Dionysius, who learned that "the cavalry was repelled and attacked on the right wing side," was eager to turn around. He did not expect him to wait for the news of the right wing victory, but it was such a result. .

"You immediately go to find Astagras, let him reorganize the cavalry and immediately attack the Diaonians, otherwise he and his family will go to hell!" Dionysius A tyrannical ramp.

The commander rushed to the horse and rushed to the rear to find Astagrass.

"Adults, the Silitian messenger urgently reported!" The attendant officer rushed over and looked nervously.

"There is nothing to say after the end of the battle, I don't have time now!" Dionysius glared at him with a sullen anger, and scared the attendant to shut his mouth with fear.

Who knows that there are detectives coming at this time: "Adults, there are thousands of Diony soldiers crossing the Tacina Di River, and are turning to the left side of the side!"

what? ! Upon hearing this news, Dionysius has been completely panicked.

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

"You mean that you are seeing an empty camp!" Hilos listened to the return of the detective, and asked some uncertainties.

"Yes, general. I and several other men have approached the wooden fence in the Syracuse camp and have not seen any movement inside." After listening to the detective captain, Hilos fell into thought: In the previous report, Syracuse had a large army of 70,000 people. So many soldiers are not in the big camp. Where are they going? The answer is clear, and Daphus must have led the reinforcements to Crotone! The Syracuse can't give up the big camp and return to the West Chamber, otherwise his detective ride will now be able to see the army led by Daveus, so the biggest possibility is that the Syracuse is working with Dior. Nia is going to fight!

With this amazing answer, Hilos was mad, and he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, pondered for a moment, and resolutely ordered: "Order the army to stop building the camp immediately, wear armor, pick up the shield spear, and arrange it. Column, marching to Crotone!"

The adjutant Higsitus heard the order and immediately said "Ah": "You mean... now I am going to Crotone?!" It is no wonder that he is nervous. Crotone is in the direction of Thira. The army of Kuza, the force led by Hilos, dared to go deep into the army. Once the Syracuse army was pressed from the north, the West Riding garrison was blocked from the south, and this unit could die.

"I'm sure there is a battle with the Syracuse people at this time, we must immediately rush to help your Majesty to win this battle to decide the life and death of Dionia!" Hilos said categorically.

Although Hegsittus had only worked with Hilos for a few months in Cosenza, the two men worked more harmoniously in political affairs. He knew that Hilos was a steady person, not a savage person.

This time, Hilos retired as the chief executive of Cosenza, and Sedrum took over, and also served as the wartime governor of the Britti region. With Sedrum’s understanding of the Bruti area, he did not need Heggis Sri Lanka’s assistance, maybe he is still in the way of Cosenza, knowing that the origin of Dionya’s conquest war against the Bruti area was the riots of their Silen tribe. Who knows whether Sedrum’s heart will There is a mustard. So Higsitus asked Helos for the purpose of recruiting the soldiers for the restoration of the soldiers, and eventually became the adjutant of the temporary force.

Now that Hilos has made a rational judgment, what He Geshetus can do is obey and appease the Bruty soldiers.

Not long after the order was communicated, Trina’s general, Bloomaras, who had joined the unit, rushed in, and was later convinced by Hilos’ words: “If this battle is successful, Trina will If you don't need a storm, you will easily return to our hands. If the battle fails, even if we recapture Trina today, it will be taken back by the Syracuse army tomorrow, and the whole big Greece will be in danger. in!"

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

After the battle lasted for two hours, the Syracuse side was able to maintain a balance of power in addition to the middle road. The left and right wings were in a difficult position: the right wing of the right wing was under the attack of the spear brigade and the Ketter reinforcements, and the loss was heavy, if not The spear brigade and the Ketter coalition soldiers lacked cooperation. They were together for a while and could not be smoothly launched. The right wing of Syracuse was thick enough, and some experienced soldiers took the initiative to separate from the rear of the middle and the left end to block the spear. The squad’s further attack on the west, I am afraid that the right wing has been defeated;

However, in the left wing, the soldiers are far less than the right wing, and can maintain morale in the case of encountering the flanking attack. Although the attack of the light armor is far less powerful than the spear square, the military reform of Dionysius is only At the beginning, the shortcomings of the big squares have not been fully taken seriously. Once the battle begins, not only the middle and low-level team officers, but even the senior generals have lost control of the troops, not to mention the complexity of the left-wing forces. It was impossible to carry out effective command in time, so that the soldiers in the rear row turned back uniformly to block the enemy, so the array began to appear chaotic.

Dionysius, who had been a soldier, could not let this happen. Unfortunately, he was still bound by the Greek military tradition, did not retain the reserve team’s consciousness, and thought of defeating Dionia and winning the battle. Victory, from the beginning, all the forces in the hands were pressed up. Now I want to go to the big camp to transfer troops to resist the attack on the left wing of the Dionysian army in time is too late.

The chaos that appeared on the left side of the left wing quickly infected the soldiers in the front row. These big Greek soldiers were not high-spirited. The ear that was covered by the almost closed helmet was still faintly heard from the rear. Later, when the voice became louder and louder, and the support force from the rear weakened or even disappeared, the heart began to panic, and with the fierce attack of the opposing enemy, the fear occupied the whole body in an instant, prompting them to desperate. Turned back and fled, even at the hesitation of the rear teammates. When one, two or three soldiers fled one after another, the panic would spread like a plague quickly... soon, the entire left wing could not support it and began to retreat. It is.

When the news was urgently passed back to Dionysius, he was already defeated: he was powerless for this battle, and even the guards around him had already sent out to help the left wing, but... this He gambled that he had lost and lost to the new king of Dionia who he valued and despised...

Despite how unwilling he is, Dionysius knows that he must acknowledge this fact and must make a quick decision.

"...Retreat..." He spit out the word from his mouth and then immediately pulled back.

Fortunately, the attendant officer is by his side, otherwise I am afraid I can't hear what he is saying.

"Adult, this..." The attendant officer is also unwilling, and there are still some expectations, so the instinctive wants to persuade one.

If it was before, some people dared to question his decision. Dionysius was not reprimanded, but he was secretly remembered. After the fall, he did not have this thought. He thought about how to minimize the Syracuse army after the defeat. The loss, because the defeat of the left wing may cause the Devonians to block the Tacina di River and cut off the return of the Syracuse army, and must withdraw the army to the camp on the west bank of the Tacina di River as soon as possible (previously to lure The army of Onia crossed the river and he had ordered the demolition of the camp on the eastern bank of the Tacinadi River in the core area of ​​Crotone.

When dozens of squadrons blew the retreating squad, Dionysius once again said to the servant: "Send someone back to the camp and inform Artemis (the commander of the camp garrison) to separate the troops and go to the camp. The east meets us back to camp!"

"Yes, adults!" The attendant suddenly remembered something and reminded him: "Before the Cistercian messenger came to report, there were five or six thousand soldiers in Dionia who landed on the plains of Orpheia, ready to attack Trina."

After listening to Dionysius, he was furious: "Why don't you say such an important thing?!!"

The servant's heart was wronged but did not dare to argue.

Originally Dionysius also intends to return to the camp defense first. Now it seems that returning to the West Chamber is the safest...

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

In the forefront of the right wing of Syracuse, Filibidas has undergone rigorous military training since he was a child. Now he has been fighting for two hours and he is already exhausted. But the enemy in the face, even after being stabbed several times by him, still has new enemies rushing up, bravely killing him, forcing him to take all the tricks and be careful.

In fact, he already felt that his offensive plan had a problem, because looking around, the face of the Diaonian left-wing array has not been defeated, and the attack has become more and more fierce, and the thrust behind him is getting more and more weak. He can vaguely hear the shouting and crying from the rear. Although he is extremely anxious in his heart, he does not dare to have the slightest distraction.
