Vol 6 Chapter 220: Battle of Meyaro (3)

Mathias did not expect the Diaonians to set up traps in the town of Mayalo, which caused great trouble to the offensive forces. He could only let the light infantrymen catch up and help the heavy infantry to drive away the "rats". At the same time, urge the reinforcements to enter the battle as soon as possible.
It is of course impossible for the soldiers of the First Legion to set traps throughout the town, especially in the areas where they and the exiles stayed, and the Syracuse soldiers have entered the area over time.
At this time, the first legionnaires who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted them, intercepting the Syracuse people in a narrow street and carrying out a positive killing.
The Syracuse soldiers are constantly moving forward, and once they are blocked, they will try to bypass the streets on both sides, and the detachment of the First Army will intercept them in the new streets. The Syracuse's attack is like water. Once blocked, the soldiers behind it circumvent and move forward; and the defense of the Dionian soldiers is like a stone, blocking every street the enemy is advancing.
With the development of the war situation, the Syracuse's offensive forces actually went from the sides to the rear of the First Corps.
More than 5,000 soldiers of the First Army also included more than a thousand light infantry and light armor. The troops were already stretched. If not more than 3,000 exile soldiers returned immediately after escorting the house, they blocked the Syracuse soldiers from the rear. The attack, I am afraid that the first legion has been attacked before and after.
Now the First Corps and the Exiles and the Syracuse coalition fought fiercely in various streets, gradually forming a similar circular defensive circle centered on the small Antonios command.
In addition to the adjutant and 20 guards and commanders, Antonios sent all the other troops out. Don’t look at him sitting on the top of the three-story building of the former Meiyao town governor’s office. It seems to be calm. In fact, the inner heart is uneasy: the first legion has been surrounded by the enemy, except for the dead battle, there is no way out! And now he has no reserve team. Once a street is broken by the enemy, it will be a disaster for the entire first legion!
Therefore, Antonios not only put the long shield stab guns at hand, but also allowed the adjutant, the guards and some of the commanders to be fully armed. Once there was a dangerous situation, he had to personally take the troops to battle.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!..." A commander rushed to the top of the building panting: "The head of the report army, the east...the east of our allies is very stable, and there is no situation of forced retreat."

"It seems that these exiles, like they said, have been fighting against the Western Kelly, mercenaries in the mountains of the West, and sometimes even fighting wild beasts. The skills of courage, fighting spirit and fighting are not weak. We can rest assured for the time being." The adjutant said comfortably.
Antonios also breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was the performance of these exile soldiers. Therefore, he would send a special soldier to keep an eye on the situation and report the situation at any time. At this time, he said: "Our brothers want Responsible for the three-sided defense, they have more than 3,000 people, only responsible for one east, it is also appropriate to resist the enemy's attack."
"The head of the army, you see if we want to draw some soldiers from them to form a new reserve team?" The adjutant made a suggestion.
Antonios is slightly more heart-warming. He looked up at the sky and the sun had begun to turn west. He looked at the front again. On every street, the First Legionnaires were brave enough to kill the enemy. The number of them was far less than the other party. They not only resisted the enemy's attack, but also caused some confusion.
"The real battle is just beginning, don't worry, wait a second and wait..." Antonios said in a sinking voice.
Due to the constant bombardment of the rifle over the past day, the streets in the town of Meyal were not only full of gravel and rubble, but also from time to time there were large stones traversing the center of the road, which led to the army of Syracuse in the streets. Not only could it not be carried out, but due to the above reasons, the intensive infantry formations were split and could not effectively form a force to push the Dionian soldiers. Instead, they were drilled by the Dionian soldiers due to terrain obstacles. The cracks and the personal killings, in such close combat, the long shields and short swords of the Dionian soldiers played their power.
At the same time, the soldiers of the First Legion did not project the two javelins in their hands before the battle, but they handed them to the hands of the comrades in the rear. They were either standing on the stone and bowing, or 趁When the enemy's feet are slipping and losing protection, they are thrown out from the gap between the teammates in front, causing damage to the enemy. This is the first legion. Although the number of soldiers in each street is less than that of the Syracuse, it is able to smash. The main reason for staying in the opponent's offense and even slightly prevailing.
After knowing the situation ahead, Masias was surprised at the fighting power of the Dionys. At the same time, he was also anxious about the advantages of his own soldiers. After he thought about it, he ordered the troops to be blocked in the rear to carry the ladder. The houses in the street climbed up and climbed over to provide support to the soldiers trapped in the streets, forcing the Dionyns to divide.
Originally these ladders were just a habitual preparation for Marcias before the siege. With so many guns, this time he never thought about using it, and now it just came in handy.
The soldiers stared at it and began to climb away from the battle.
The Greeks, regardless of whether they are rich or civilian, are basically four walls with a roof and an open courtyard in the middle, so the Syracuse soldiers climbed in and out, turned over one and one broken house, sometimes with hiding. In the case of the Diaonian light infantry fighting, it is hard and dangerous.
After more than half an hour, Antonios received another urgent report from the commander: "The chief of the army, the first captain, Giorgios, said that the enemy infiltrated from the residential building and threatened the flank of his troops. He No more soldiers to stop, request to retreat first!"
"Reporting the head of the army, the second captain, Zanti Tiris..."
......
"Retreat, let the various brigades and exile soldiers follow the pre-war deployment, retreat to the prescribed area, array defense! To inform Chipeter to lead all the light infantry to come here to gather!"
"Yes!"
Before the battle, Antonios and the captains considered the worst situation when they negotiated, so there were remedies, but he did not expect to be forced to this final step so soon: "This Syracuse commander general Not simple!"
Antonios sighed, he looked up and looked at the sky, turned and asked Xie Fennis: "The riots you planned should have begun?"
Jehoi Fennis certainly knows that the situation of the First Legion is not very good at the moment. He did not hesitate to answer: "With my understanding of Antrapolis, he has already prepared for it, he must be fully prepared. And from the current time, I am afraid it is over."
The words of Xenophonis made Antonios slightly wide, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, let the First Legion and the Syracuse people carry out this final battle here!"
The soldiers of the First Legion slowly retreated in an orderly manner.
Due to the limitations of the terrain and the fear of the javelin that might be shot from the enemy, the Syracuse soldiers did not have a fierce attack, and they were also cautiously approaching, which allowed the first legion of the company and the detachments to smoothly withdraw from the street.
The exile soldiers did not go so smoothly. When they retreated, they lacked training and experience, so they were slightly confused. The Syracuse people took advantage of the attack and led to increased confusion. Fortunately, in this direction, Syracuse has the least strength, and the exiles are only responsible for the east defense, and there are enough soldiers, and they all hate the Syracuse people, making them even more casual due to chaos. I will never turn and run away, so I eventually withdrew from the street.
Antonios’s governor’s office, as the administrative center of Meyaro, was not adjacent to other residential buildings. Due to prior preparations, the first brigade and the exile soldiers surrounded it smoothly, forming a thick enough Intensive circular array.
The Siracusa coalition soldiers who followed the enemy in front of the front line did not have much preparation, and there were chaos and gaps between the teams coming out of the streets.
The First Corps did not fully defend itself, but seized the opportunity of counterattack. They were short-lived by a company and a company.
At the same time as a company started the assault, ~EbookFREE.me~ the seventh battalion of the roof of the ruling official's office, regardless of his arms, immediately projected a javelin and arrows into the area.
This tactic of the First Legion caused the Syracuse coalition soldiers in front to fall into chaos...
Marcias rushed to the back of the team to see the scene, hurriedly let the squadron blow the attacking military number, and ordered hundreds of mercenaries under his command to form a long line, and rushed back the retired soldiers, if not, On the spot. He also let Sikuli, Kataney, and Leotini, the city-state lords who followed him, to catch up and appease their somewhat turbulent army.
Because I was worried that the exiles could not cooperate with each other, and worried that the troops of the first legion would be trapped in enemies after leaving the formation, and with the trust of the words of Shephernnis, let the discreet Anton Rios Did not choose a comprehensive charge, which gave the Syracuse coalition a breathing space, the chaos is recovering, the generals are commanding soldiers to re-arrange the battle...
At this time, Masias issued an order: "Go and bring in the guns from outside the town."
The adjutant was surprised and advised: "General, now our soldiers are fighting the enemy, I am afraid it is easy to hurt ourselves..."
