v8 Chapter 81： Dionys VS Carthage (5)

For the reserve soldiers who were intercepted at the rear, this was a relatively easy task. Although they had to accidentally injure some of the Allied soldiers and get the other party's pains and curses, few people paid casualties.

But for the detachments of the eighth legion in the forefront, their situation is relatively difficult. Because once the torrent is cut off, the Carthaginians stay in the gap between the squares, and when they realize that the situation is not good, they will attack the neighboring Dionian soldiers. The top eight corps are naturally Will be attacked in all directions.

The Legionnaires had to hide behind the long shield, shoulder-to-shoulder, back-to-back tightly attached together. The original tight array became more tight because of the surrounding pressure, but they were not easily washed away, but the narrow space made it They even became difficult to swing the rifle. Therefore, the soldiers in the outermost two columns of the small squares dropped the long weapons and took out the short sword. In such a narrow and crowded space, they took the advantage of killing more than the enemy.

The squad leader in the center of the small square kept shouting: "Brothers hold on! Hold on! Our counterattack will soon begin!..."

Yes, while the small squares of Dionia were attacked in all directions, the sacred soldiers in the gap also suffered attacks in all directions, compared with the Eighth Army’s premeditated, prepared defenses and Dai’s The unique detachment of the Nigerian military system is a powerful commander to command every soldier.

The carnival sects of the Carthage have always been similar to the traditional Greek tactics. From the pursuit to the present, the formation has been completely scattered, and the organization of the sacred soldiers is like a sand, even though they find it wrong, consciously The fierce attack on the Eighth Army, but this attack is turbulent, can not effectively kill the unified Dionysian unit, but on the contrary they can not form an effective coordination, they often block the opponent in front After the attack, the short sword and the stab gun stabbed on the side and back could not be prevented, and the casualty rate was far greater than that of the Eighth Army.

To make matters worse, the second step of Leo Tiddides has already begun.

The sound of the military number sounded again.

The detachments of the Eighth Army of Dionia also began to move forward and inward, while the rear reserve array was slowly pushed forward. The entire Deonian army was like a wet cloth. The moisture contained in the fabric is squeezed out, but the sacred soldiers crowded in the gaps of the Dionysian array are hard to squeeze out because there are more sacred soldiers in the outside, they are in the same While the Denia soldiers fought, they also blocked the retreat of the comrades who were in the line, unless they retreated as a whole. But in the current situation, this is almost impossible. Because they have not been violently attacked by the Dionysian army (the front-end Dionysian detachment that is in contact with the enemy is still in a defensive state); secondly, they lack a unified command and cannot take the initiative to retreat. .

Therefore, if the Eighth Army wants to convert a checkerboard array into a complete large square, it means destroying the Carthage Holy Soldiers in the array.

Since then, the sound of the military number is the footsteps of death, and the battle in the lowlands has suddenly entered the state of white heat that is not your death, or my life...

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

Monte Adeno, who has always liked to be commanded behind the scenes, rode over the Platani River and slowly followed the chasing sect of the sacred army. After all, the identity and status of the sacred regiment among the Carthaginians differed from that of the ordinary. The Taiji army, which is unmatched by the Phoenician army, mercenaries and the Numidian army, must pay more attention to it.

Not long after, he sent a scout to reconnoiter the war and turned back from the front: "Adults, the sacred troops encountered the interception of the Dionyrian army!"

"Diaonia's army?!" Monte Adeno was surprised that he had thought that there were many Dionysians in the enemy's retreating enemy: "Dyonia people can't organize reinforcements so quickly. ?! And they are not afraid of being dismissed by their squadrons?!"

"Yes, adults, indeed the Dionysian army! They are wearing full black armor, arranged in small squares..."

Monte Adeno did not have a detailed study of the Dionyrian army before. After listening to the narrative of the detective, he was even more puzzled: the Dionians were unable to form a big square because of the rush. Or is it because of the convenience of escaping and escaping?

But with the return of the detective ride, the doubts in his heart began to turn into uneasiness: after all, the Diaonians were able to discharge a similar array in a wide area of ​​two miles, completely trapping the entire lowland. Obviously it can't be done in a hurry. Isn't the Diaonians afraid that their loose and strange arrays will be rushed by the Holy See army? !

But when he turned to think about it, he knew something in his heart. After all, the information that the Detective was constantly bringing back made him quickly understand the terrain here: the sacred army went deep into the lowlands, and there were hills on both sides. The military camp of the Nigerian Allied Forces, the Greeks can completely come down from the mountains and attack the side of the holy group army!

At the thought of this, Monte Adeno was nervous. He turned around and looked behind him. Only the 3,000 Numibian cavalry who had just arrived, immediately asked the adjutant: "Where are the other troops?"

"Adults, they are on their way."

"Let them speed up!" Monte Adeno snapped.

"Yes!"

"Slow! You immediately inform the Numibia troops not to come over, cross the river directly, and go all out to attack the Dionysian military camp!" Monte Adno pointed to the hill on the right side of his right The tone is resolutely said, and then points to the slightly smaller hill on the left side of his left: "Let the civic forces led by Reguka attack the enemy camp!"

Monte Adeno made this choice because the southern coalition camp is very close to the city of Minoa, and it is actually at the north and south ends of the same hill. It will be more difficult to attack it because it must also be prepared. The army in Minoa raided, so he handed this difficult task to the Numisians. According to the information just obtained, the area of ​​the hills in the north is much smaller, and the corresponding military camps are also small. There are certainly not many Greek soldiers stationed there, so Monte Adeno gave this easy target to himself. people.

The adjutant went with a commander.

Monte Adeno also divided the Numidia cavalry into two parts, located on both sides of the low-altitude entrance, and launched a formation. Once the enemy was found coming down from the mountain, they would rush up and attack with a javelin and a horse. His attack on the sacred army has won time for the reinforcements to arrive.

After completing these deployments, Monte Adeno is still not at ease.

After a while, the adjutant came back to report: "Numibia troops have begun to attack the enemy camp!"

After a while, the 12,000 soldiers of the Carthage Citizens’ Army ran past him, and the military camps on both sides of the enemy did not show any signs of attack. Only the light infantry with the enemy threw arrows at the mountains. Yahoo and javelin. While he was relieved, he also sternly demanded that all units speed up the attack on the enemy barracks and dispel any attempt by the enemy to besiege the sacred army.

All the deployments are already in progress, and Monte Adeno waits for the Holy Army to defeat the face of the Dionyrian army.

But for such a long time, the sacred troops in front have been stagnating in place, no further...

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

On the battlefield about two miles long and about a few tens of meters thick, neither the Carthage sacred soldiers nor the Daonian army soldiers have ever encountered such a battle before, like the Clithista restaurant. Like a stuffed bread, the front and rear ends are also distinct from each other, but the enemy and the enemy in the middle are intertwined and completely mixed. However, the Daiyan soldiers are intentionally so, and the holy group soldiers are forced to helpless.

In the sound of the military number, as the Dionysian array continued to move forward and inward, the space of the soldiers of both sides was further compressed, so that even turning around and turning the arms became somewhat difficult, stabbing guns and spears. It must be unusable. The soldiers of the Holy Group had to draw out their swords. Some of them were too long to match their swords. They simply picked up their fists. In the distance of only two shields, so close, the holy group soldiers even used their heads. Going to the opponent and tearing the enemy with their hands, they screamed and screamed. The arrogance and elegance of the former aristocratic child disappeared for a long time. The reason why they are so **** is that they are retreating. Fighting for survival under desperation.

At this timeDionya's small square is also difficult to maintain its integrity, the sacred soldiers desperately desperate, so that the array appeared a lot of broken, but the small square shelf At the core of the team's organization is still there, the soldiers can unite around, cooperate with each other and continue to implement the plan.

The Eighth Legionnaires hid the entire body behind the long shield, almost without eyes to observe the opponent, the short sword of the right hand just stabbed out without stopping, but almost every thorn would not fall. If the short sword hits a hard object and it is difficult to get in, it must have hit the opponent's round shield; if the short sword encounters a hindrance, the opponent makes a squeaking sound, slamming hard, and then piercing, that is, stabbing the breastplate. If the short sword is slightly obstructed, but can continue to penetrate smoothly, the opponent screams, it must be tied to the arm, thigh and other unprotected parts.

When the opponent screams and falls down, the Legionnaires carefully push forward and further prevent the enemy from falling over the ground. Otherwise, once the teammate can't pull it up in time, it will be repeated in the crowd. Trampling leads to serious injury or tragic death, which is the most terrible thing in this melee.

Although the closing of the detachments of the Eighth Corps is difficult, it is still slowly pushing... ()
