Vol 6 Chapter 62: The first battle between Dionya and Samona (2)

"I can be sure!" Krigoru confidently pointed to the mountain in front and said: "These Samonais are chasing the tribes of Potentia and come here, but they don't know where to get the news. I ambushed us here, but I don’t know that their every move was clearly seen by my men."
"Crigolu, your team has made a success today, I have written it down." Alexis patted some of the instigating horses: "Although our army did not train in Potentia, but here The terrain, I think Lizaru should not forget you."
"You brought us in the mountains in the southern part of Potentia several times, how can we forget it! There are strict rules in our military law. Team officers at all levels of the legion must engrave the terrain in their jurisdiction!" Lizam pointed to his head.
"Daveus is a great man!" Alexis lamented that it was the law that Daves developed that allowed the officers and soldiers to strictly enforce it, so that the army could be prepared in wartime. He also remembered the embarrassment of Daves when he became the head of the Third Army Corps. He said in a positive way: "Now is the time to test you, and let us see how powerful the Samonais are!"

Gailney saw the flag swaying in the opposite side of the mountain. Obviously, the enemy was also attacking Abrini's team at the same time. At this moment, he did not have the heart to worry about his friends, with his own more than a thousand soldiers rushing down the mountain, except for the helmet. On the colored crown, his equipment is no different from other fighters. The golden copper helmet and a loose red short-sleeved robes are only up to the knees. The waist is tight with a leather belt and the right hand is long. The spear, carrying four or five javelins on the left, nothing else.
Because it was considered in advance to ambush the Dionysian army, Gellny brought out light-loaded warriors who saw the steep slopes as flat, moving between rocks and trees, agile like apes, barefoot on thorns There was no pain in the gravel and it quickly approached the Dionya army that was climbing upwards.
Compared with the speed of the Samonet down the mountain, the speed of the Dionian troops going up the mountain is slow. They are made up of light infantry, light armor and heavy infantry, pulling out a loose curved line in an attempt to forest. This side is all shackled, so that the Samonets can't escape, but they don't want the Samonets to come so fast.
As the temporary commander of this mixed force, the second corps of the Third Army, the leader of the Third Brigade, is not flustered. If it was a few years ago, the Lucania region was not yet incorporated into the Dionysian League. When this happens, Maxima will lead the tribal warriors to meet and come to a melee, and now he is already a qualified team officer in the Dionysian army.
"Archers are ready! Heavy infantry protection!" At the same time as the orders of the sima horse, the army's heavy infantry had already leaned against the trunk, leaned against the rock, and erected a long curved shield to protect themselves and the archers behind the shield. And the Javelin soldiers are going backwards, and the Samonets will not be able to attack them unless they cross the heavy infantry line.
Under the protection of the long shield, the archers bowed their arrows with ease, aiming at the Samonai who are rushing to the rush, the more relaxed formation of the Samonet, plus the mountains and the lush trees, the team-like Leaving a shot may have little effect, so a more precise pair of shots is needed.
The Samonais are condescending, and although they are a hundred meters apart, the javelin thrown in their running with strong kinetic energy, they immediately flew to the front of the heavy infantry, only to hear "嘭!嘭!嘭!..." The continuous sound, more than half of the javelin evenly squatted on the long shield, heavy infantry looked at the sharp spear pointed out through the hole, can not help but feel a little heart: turned out to be a heavy javelin!
The arrow of the Dionysian archer also shot, and the Samonai warrior, who was unprotected and lightly loaded, quickly squatted under the rock or hid behind the trunk to avoid the arrow.
For a time, the guns came in the mountains.
The Dionysian soldiers have stronger protection, the archers have more stable platforms for archery in situ; the Samonets rely on flexible movement and the powerful penetrating power of the javelin to counter, even if they are unprotected, the casualties are gradually Increased, did not weaken their fighting spirit.
Gailney and his men rely on the cover of the trees, and they are approaching the Tenetians within forty meters. When they saw the javelin they were struggling to throw, the long shields that the Dionian heavy infantry erected shook a few times. When the soldier almost fell, he licked the last javelin in his hand, and he thought in his heart: Closer, closer, sure to kill another one!
He thought with confidence, slammed out the hidden trees, and swiftly followed the serpentine route and continued to swell downward.
The entire Samonai squad line has almost approached the enemy by 30 meters. Gellney leaned against a big tree and escaped the enemy's arrows like other fighters. When the archers took the arrows, they came out again. He was ready to throw the javelin in his hand to the heavy infantry in front. At this time he saw a scene of surprise. The Diaonian heavy infantry suddenly threw away the long shield in his hand and made a throwing action.
"Not good, javelin!" Gailney suddenly had wide eyes.
The heavy infantry on the opposite side even thrown a javelin. Thousands of javelin-incorporated arrows flew out. The Samonais were caught off guard. Many of the Samonai fighters who had not had time to hide were immediately screamed by javelin. A sound.
Gailney had no time to make a judgment. When the Diaonian heavy infantry shot the javelin, the javelinmen 10 meters behind them also rushed up, throwing the javelin again, and keeping them light. The armor, as the Samonais sneaked into the javelin attack, crossed the line of heavy infantry and quickly approached the enemy.
"Retreat! Quick retreat!..." Gellney knew that he couldn't be reluctant at the moment. The unique tactical combination of the Dionyns disrupted their offensive rhythm and then delayed, and they might not be able to go.
As he gestured, Gellney quickly withdrew, and the trumpeter who had been behind him immediately blew the horn.
But the speed of the Delnia Light Armor is also not slow. As a Lucania, the mountains and the mountains are also good at them, not to mention that they are also dressed in light clothes, and after the previous recharge, so the Samonese After a little hesitation, they were caught up, not to mention the wounded soldiers.
On the hillsides where the trees are staggered and the rocks are full, the spears are on the shields and short swords. The Samonet warriors want to constantly pull the distance to play the power of the long weapons. It is not an easy task, but once Dionys is allowed The Armenian soldiers are close, and the Samonets are in danger.
On the mountain, one escapes to chase, and often there is a single-on-one fight with a spear.
When Gellney turned over the mountains, escaped the pursuit of the Dionys, and regrouped, he found that there were only about 500 people who followed him. He almost lost half of the soldiers.
When he waited for the team to meet Abrini, his good brother was already in the javelin and was dying. The thousand soldiers he had had only 300 people.
Originally, I wanted to ambush the Dionysian army. I didn't expect it to be ambushed by the Dionyns. The anger and frustration of Gernier was defeated by the squadron. Without rest, he quickly retreated northward.

"This is the Shamone people?!" Alexis carefully examined the bodies on the ground, even the dirty ones even the thick feet of their bare feet and touched them with their hands: "It's very hard, like wearing A pair of shoes. Kexi, you just took a nap with the Samonet and talked about the feeling of fighting with them."
Ksima thought for a moment and said: "The head of the army, the Samonets are quite brave. You see that they are all light infantry. They dare to rush to throw javelins less than 30 meters from our front... their formation. It's quite loose and very intermittent, which reduces the accuracy of our light infantry long-range attacks. This tactic is very similar to our light infantry tactics... and, look, - "Ksima grabs a Samonet. Javelin, handed to Alexis.
Alexis rubbed his hand with his hand, then put the spear tip in front of his eyes and looked at it. His look became a little dignified: "It is a javelin that adds to the spearhead, and the weight of our javelin is not much different, so you have nearly 100 injured people. Is it because of it?"
Kexima nodded and said: "I see that their javelin technology is no worse than the light shield of the Epiphanis army chief. As long as the long shield is hit by him, they can often pierce the shield, brothers. It’s all hurt like this...

Alexis looked down at the long shields that were hit by several javelin guns and said: "Listen to the soldiers and say ~EbookFREE.me~The Samonets are running fast in the mountains, how can you catch up and catch up? Let them escape."
Kexi Ma retorted: "The Shamones are running very fast, but our Lucanias are not bad at climbing the mountains. If we don't wear them more than they have, we have long They caught up!"
"Listen to the Potentia people, although the Samonais also have heavy infantry wearing breastplates, but most of them are light infantry with tender guns..." Alexis looked at the mountains in front of him, and there was a worry in his heart. : "Command the Legion to speed up the march and rush to the nearest valley in our upper reaches of Bassento!"

In a village of the original Potentia, less than a mile north of the city of Potentia, Gailny lowered his head in frustration and stood in front of the Syligny leader Veroney.
Veroney did not criticize him for his son’s unauthorized attack on the Diaonians. He knew that Abrini’s death had made Galney very self-blaming, so he gently asked:
Gerney, You are the first Samonai leader who has fought with the Dionys. Although he has suffered a little loss, he also has an understanding of this powerful enemy in the south. You tell us that the Dionyns are fighting. What is the difference between neutralizing Campania?"
