Vol 8 Chapter 205: Surrounded


When Alexis led the army into the mountains, he was already discovered by the Aquilonian spies. The Aquironians immediately sent the soldiers who were the best at running in the mountains to the northwest, more than 100 from them. Kautim.

The 7000 soldiers of the remaining military forces concentrated in the Samona tribal alliance are hidden in the Kautim territory. The commander of the army is the leader of the large tribe of Kautini, Uzziq. He learned the news yesterday afternoon. After that, my heart was overjoyed and I thought it was a chance to revenge.

Moreover, the Aquilonian messenger has been anxiously urging, because there are more than 200 warriors in the city of Aquilonia. Even if the terrain is dangerous, I am afraid it will not be able to withstand it for a long time, so Uzbek quickly convened the 7000. A soldier, rushed to rescue Aguerolia.

Until noon today, they arrived near the territory of Aquilonia.

The warriors led by Uxbike came from the tribes of the four tribes. They each had their own leader. In the process of marching, the army shape gradually became scattered, and the head and tail were more than three miles away. When the middle of the team where Uzbekistan was in the middle of the mountain, the front fighters had already rushed down the valley and launched an attack directly against the Dionyrian army.

Uzbek saw this situation and knew that he could not stop it. He simply let his offense, and ordered the central team to slow down, waiting for the soldiers in the rear to arrive, while watching the battle ahead.

The main attack on the Dionysian army is more than 1,000 Sempini fighters, most of whom are javelinmen. The Hilpini tribes suffered the most in this war. These fighters hated the Diaonians, but they were also a bit afraid, so after they rushed down the hillside, they not only slowed down, but also slowed down. And the team was completely dispersed, and by the ups and downs of the hills, the masking of the trees, like the Bobcats who were hunting, slowly approached the Dionysian army.

At this time, the Dionyrian army occupied a higher place in the valley, and 1,500 heavy infantrymen were semi-circular in shape, each half squatting down and arranging a shield; behind them were two light infantry. The 1,000 archers in the brigade, they bowed their arrows and looked at the enemies that were approaching; behind the archers, there were 1,000 javelinmen; and 1,000 light armored soldiers joined the array of heavy infantry to form the east line of defense. Be wary of enemies who might come down from the city of Aquilonia, and make the entire army array elliptical; the remaining 1,000 light armor are scattered in the open space between the elliptical formations.

Alexis stood on a rock and his eyes could see the approaching enemy through the soldiers in front. The sight in front of him made his brow wrinkled, because the Samonai soldiers had entered the archer's range most of the time, but they were scattered in the area of ​​50 meters in front of the military array. By the cover of the mounds, rocks, and trees, the Diaonian archers are not willing to volley easily, because the killing effect will be very low.

"Go to inform the two light infantry captains and advise them to let the soldiers attack themselves, but pay attention to saving arrows and javelins...because it is possible that today's battle will last for a long time." Alexis issued in a less certain tone. The order.

After the two light infantry commanders conveyed the order, the attention of the archers who got the autonomy was more concentrated. The bows and arrows hanging under them were also taken up, facing the area in front of them, but hiding The enemies made them unsure of the shot, so they kept pressing the arrows.

The Samonai fighters did not continue to approach, because the Dionysian soldiers cleared the area 30 to 40 meters before the field, cut off the high grass, cut off the trees, due to limited time, still retain some Big trees and large rocks, but the entire field of vision has been widened, and with the presence of the Diaonians, moving forward may increase the danger of being shot.

The two sides suddenly fell into a state of quiescence, but the atmosphere became more and more tense.

"Captain, why are they still not attacking?" A heavy infantry turned back and whispered to Lake Laisis behind him.


Stay in the air!
Lake Laisis whispered:
Focus the attention! Hide the body and tighten the shield!


The attack on the first two nights allowed Alexis and the team officers to realize that the Samonai had a heavy javelin. After deliberation, the soldiers decided to put the long shield at the bottom and put their hands on the ground. Under the arm of the tight shield, the arm is entrained, and the side is squatting, and the body is not in contact with the shield. This is to reduce the damage caused to the soldier after the heavy gun penetrates the long shield.

"Know it, I know, the captain has said it many times before." The soldier returned a little impatiently.

"Attention! The enemy is coming!" Lake Lasis said with a serious voice.

The soldiers hurried back, exposing their heads from the top of the long shield and looking outwards: only the little red dots dotted in a piece of green began to move in the direction of the military array.

Every time the Daiyan Army soldiers participate in military camp training, almost every first project is standing on the playground, silent for at least half an hour. The Samonai soldiers obviously did not have special training in this area. The two sides stood still for ten minutes. Some fighters could not bear the pressure. Some soldiers left the shelter and began to move forward (because the range of the heavy javelin was Within 30 meters), naturally it will drive other soldiers.

Then, the Dionysian archers began shooting at their target.

The Samonai warrior is holding a small circular wooden shield on the left side of his head, holding a javelin in his right hand, and his bare feet stepping on the rugged grassland, but he can quickly run out of the word "zhi". I want to get close to the enemy.

However, the continuous launching arrows of the Dionysian archers have greatly hindered the advancement of the Samonna warriors. Their wooden shields are too small, and there is almost no protection on them. When they avoid the arrows, just a little For a stop, there may be several arrows that are shot at the same time in several directions, making it inevitable.

In a short period of time, the area of ​​50 meters to 30 meters fell a lot of Samone soldiers, and when they are about to break into 30 meters, they are no longer an arrow, but a javelin. The thin wooden shield couldn't resist the powerful javelin and was directly crushed by it.

Some of the Samonna warriors escaped the arrows and the javelin, and then hurriedly thrown out the javelin in their hands. Most of them were blocked by the shield. A few flew into the battlefield, causing a few screams, but compared with Sa The Monet’s own casualties are too slight.

Therefore, the morale of the Samonet was greatly affected, and the momentum of their attack quickly weakened. At this moment, the horn of the Samonais retreat sounded, and the snoring of the companion’s snoring weakened the fighting heroine. Quickly retreated 50 meters away from the Dionysian Army.

But they didn't stay away, but they looked at the Diaonian soldiers in front of them. They seemed to be ready to attack again. This made the team officers of Dionia dare not order, let the soldiers go back to the arrows and javelin.

Uxbike came with the troops behind him and joined the leading troops. Because the attack just caused the Samonets to suffer losses, the leaders of the United Army took the initiative to surround Usibic.

"The location where the Dionyrians are located is too wide. We can't attack this directly, otherwise the losses will be great!"

"Do not attack? What about my dozen or so injured people?! They are still lying in front of the Dionyrians, waiting for our rescue!"

"I think we might go around the enemy's army and attack from there."

"That won't work! Their light infantry can move to the other side and stop our attack."

......

The leaders were arguing that Uzbek did not stop, watching them quietly until everyone was blushing and could not get a unified opinion.

An old leader of Sempini finally could not help but eagerly asked: "Usibic, you are the commander of the entire team appointed by the great leaders. You give an idea, what should we do?!"

His words allowed the princes to temporarily stop the argument and focus on Uzbek.

Uzbek said this: "The leaders, the Dionyns occupy the favorable terrain, set the battle, wait for us to attack, even if we finally rely on the brave attack, rushing the Diaonians The military squad, but the casualties suffered by our people will never be small! The war with the Diaonians is now until now. EbookFREE.me~ All tribes and tribes have suffered a lot of casualties. Now, we can no longer let our heroic soldiers suffer casualties!"

"Usibic is right!"

"It's a bit of a fart, there is no dead in the battle! Do we come here with the people, come to the Devians to leave!"

......

Seeing that the leaders had to quarrel again, Uxbike immediately said loudly: "Of course we have to send the Deonians away! Because as long as the Dionysian army begins to retreat, they must leave the current favorable terrain, and they cannot We will continue to maintain our current formation, and we can continue to attack them on the way to their retreat, on both sides of the mountain road, on the mountains until they finally fight them! This is the way we are familiar with! People are hard to be fooled into the mountains, fighting in our familiar homes, we must not let them go!"

"But what if the Dionys do not retreat?" A leader who just exported, was ridiculed by other leaders: "Do not retreat, where do they rest at night? We are staring here, they simply I dare not build a camp here."
