v8 Chapter 16： Fighting with Kautini (2)

The javelin that swept away covered the entire square, only to hear the sound of "bang", some javelins slipped on the shield, and some plunged into the shield, and the whole square was tied into a hedgehog... but this side There were no soldiers falling down, no one screaming, and it stood intact.

When the Samonets were surprised, the Greeks suddenly withdrew their long shields, and a javelin flew out of the square, throwing them in front of them, which is where Taruk stood.

At this point the distance between the two sides is close to 20 meters.

Taruk did not think that the other party would have this fatal trick. Originally, as a tribal leader, Taruk had his own armor and shield, but in order to better pursue the fleeing Greeks, he put it in the village. . Seeing the javelin coming straight, he could only rely on instinct to dodge, then he made a scream, a javelin pierced his right leg, and he fell to the ground.

At the same time, seven or eight soldiers beside them also screamed and fell.

"The leader!!!" The sound of the panic of the soldiers screaming in the ear, Taruk suddenly remembered in the pain: what was mentioned by a great leader ten years ago,

The enemies of these black helmets and black armor should be Dionyns!

"They are Dionyns!" Taruker shouted loudly.

At this time, the Dionysian soldiers have already rushed to the front.

In order to protect their leader, the Kautini fighters did not retreat, but rushed to meet and killed with the soldiers of the Dayonia.

This is obviously a wrong move. Even though the Kautini warriors were more than the other, the unprotected Kautini warriors and the well-guarded Dionysian soldiers were killed, and they were simply hitting the stone.

After a lot of deaths and injuries, Kautini warriors had to withdraw.

At this time, they heard the hooves behind them.

"It is a Greek cavalry!!" Kautini warriors exclaimed.

Dozens of Dionysian cavalry who rushed to the rear and rushed to throw javelin at the retreating Kautini fighters, slowing their retreat speed.

The soldiers of the Daiyan Army are quickly catching up.

Under the front and rear pinch, Kautini soldiers were completely defeated and fled, and they will become the target of the Daonian cavalry.

At this time, the detachment leader of the Daiyan Army detachment stood in front of the stunned Taruk, looking back at the Campania army that had just arrived in a hurry, and asked the rushing detective: "Where is the enemy closest to us?"

The detective pointed to his right side and said: "About 400 meters from here, more west, there are about 300 Kautini people, your third team comrades and a light armor company are preparing to raid them. ”

After listening to the team leader, he immediately shouted: "The second team of brothers gathered! In addition to a few of your injuries left to receive treatment, the other immediately followed me to the west, with the third team to attack the Samone! ”

"The captain, we are only minor injuries, continue to fight, there is no problem at all." The injured soldier said reluctantly.

"This is the order, execute immediately!" After the captain said this sentence, the injured soldiers did not say anything.

“What about the Kautini people hiding in the village?” asked the soldier.

"To the Neapolitans, there is a remnant, I think they should be able to cope." Said, the captain led the soldiers immediately to the west.

This similar scene took place in several places in the plains of Campania.

Only in Atla (), the situation is different.

Atla was originally a small town built by the Etruscans and later joined the Campania League. It is located in the northeast of Naples, in the middle of the Campania Plain, less than 25 miles from the city of Naples.

Twenty years ago, it was taken away by the Kautini people. From then on, Atla became a transit ground for the Kautini people to invade the coastal city of Campania and to plunder the materials.

The Campania League suffered greatly, so after the alliance with Dionia, the Kautini was defeated by Deonia and still negotiating, asking Daves: Can you let the card Utini return Atra to the Campania League?

Davers agreed.

The Kautini people had to make concessions because of the situation at the time.

This shame has been crushed in the heart of Kautini’s great leader, Segovani, so this time he will take advantage of the Campania League’s busyness to cope with the opportunities of the tribes’ invasion, gather heavy troops, recapture Atla in one fell swoop, and establish his Weiming. As soon as Dionia sent messengers to blame, Segovani had already thought about it, and used the phrase "Astraben belongs to the Kautini" to smother, anyway, the Diaonians only Knowing that he threatened with words, he couldn’t damage him. When the time was over, the Dionians couldn’t take him.

Segovani spent two days in Katium gathering some 5,000 warriors from the surrounding tribes, and the action entered the city of Sesara more secretly.

Half an hour after the other tribes began to invade the West, he led the army to set off. Because he specifically ordered that "all tribes must not plunder on the route from Sasella to Attra", the road was smooth and there was no Meet any enemy.

Sasella is less than 20 miles from Atla, all flat. An hour later, the army led by Segovani approached the city of Atla.

The Atla people apparently did not expect that the Kautini people who had always been looting would suddenly take the army to attack the city. There were only a few panicked sentinels on the wall.

Segovani was fully prepared. He not only allowed the soldiers to carry enough ladders, but he also concentrated Kautini’s heavy infantry (equivalent to the Greek infantry’s intermediate infantry) to the ranks. There are 3,000 people.

"Offensive!" Segovani immediately gave instructions without hesitation, and he did not want to leave any reaction time to the enemy.

The soldiers rushed to the city of Attra.

At this time, the spy rushed to the scene: "The big leader, found the enemy's detective ride!"

Segovani was in a tight heart, and then he let go of his heart again: What happened to the Greeks? Now I am already winning.

"Continue to observe the enemy's movements south and report to me at any time," he said with a wave.

"Yes, big leader." The spy ran away.

cavalry! This is the pain of Segovani's heart: the Samonet is a mountain race, there has never been a cavalry, but after the Kautini occupied the eastern plains of Campania, he began planning to build a Cavalry to enhance the reconnaissance capabilities of the troops while also assisting in combat. But no Kautini warrior is willing to try to ride a horse. They are more willing to fight face-to-face with the enemy, instead of riding a horse like a coward and avoiding it. Of course, sitting on the bare horseback also makes these Kautini soldiers completely insecure, far less than walking on a solid land, so that their hearts are solid. The dream of building a cavalry can only be lost...

Segowani sighed and threw away this annoying idea and re-focused his attention on the battlefield. He was delighted to see that the soldiers had used the ladder to cross the trench and forced it under the wall until then. There were a lot of flustered Greek defenders on the head...

When the reinforcements of Naples arrived, I had already won this small town! Segovani clenched his right fist confidently.

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

"What are you talking about?! More than 5,000 Kautini are attacking Atla!" The general of Naples, Aalos, was shocked to hear the news from the detective.

He immediately responded, his face shouted: "We have all been deceived by the Kautini people. This time they are not only looting, but encroaching on our land!" The words of Ealos are mainly Lizzar said.

At this moment, Lizzar’s face sitting in the big account is also very unsightly. After sending out the troops of the Third Legion and preparing for a raid to invade the Kautini of the Campania League, he was seated in the military camp. There is no way, because the location of the invasion is too wide, the corps of the Third Legion, the various companies, and the detachments are correspondingly dispersed in this vast area. He can only rely on numerous detectives and commanders, as well as staff officers. Planning can barely achieve a general control. And he was left in the camp with only 500 light infantry left, which he reserved for the reserve team.

Lizzar carefully looked at the map of Campania on the table and then asked aloud: "How many civic soldiers are there in the city of Atla?"

Ealos thought about it and said, "Atra is a small town with only a few thousand people and can draw nearly 400 civic soldiers."

Speaking of hereEaulus has some regrets: When Atla returned to the Campania League, it was supposed that the city’s strategic position should be expanded, strengthened, and stationed. Young and middle-aged citizens, but the city-states of the then alliance were arguing over how much the building costs were shared and how much land was acquired. This important measure has not been implemented. Later, everyone found that Kautini was very safe under the strong constraints of Dionia, and he was too lazy to make changes to Atla. In the past two years, Kautini re-initiated the invasion of the Campania League, but mainly robbed the property, occasionally looted the population, did not attack the town, so did not cause vigilance.

Lizza frowned and asked: "How many soldiers do you still have to send out to fight?"

Ealos hurriedly discussed a few words with the generals in the several leagues nearby, and then said helplessly: "According to General Lizaru's previous suggestions, we have reserved the reserve team, about 2,000 soldiers."

"2000 people are enough!" Lizaru looked a little bit: "With the strength of my side, there are 2,500 people. We can immediately lead them to Atla, pin the Kautini army, let them I dare not attack the city with all my strength. At the same time, I sent a detective ride to inform other troops to rush to Atal as soon as possible, and jointly defeated this large army of the enemy!" The Greek tyrant of ancient Greece
