Vol 9 Chapter 124: Rush to the battlefield

"His Royal Highness, we can't retreat!" Prentals immediately opposed: "Now the Spartan army is about to come into battle with us. If we retreat at this time, not only will the soldiers complain, but it will also make our previous efforts In vain, let the Spartan army breathe, let other Greek city-states look down on us, and more likely to speed up their alliance with the Spartans to fight against us together, and we want to defeat the Spartan army, It will undoubtedly become more difficult!
Not only can we not retreat now, we should also take advantage of these Greek city-states before they are ready for military preparations, and speed up the attack on the Spartan army. As long as we can defeat Sparta, the situation will become beneficial to us! "
After all, Klotokatax was the first leader to leave, lack of experience, and bad news came one after another. He panicked for a time, and he would inevitably choose to be conservative under the pressure, reminded by Prentals He immediately realized that if he did this, he would undoubtedly cause the war to continue, which would not only consume a lot of national power, increase casualties, but also disappoint his father who had always forged ahead in the war...
Thinking of this, he rejuvenated and immediately said: "Master Printols, you are right, we should step up our attack on the Spartan army, but what should we do?"
"Your Highness, you should first send a messenger to inform our troops stationed in Mesenia, let them strengthen the defense of the northern border, and be ready to carry out military mobilization of the Mesenians at any time." Prentals suggested patiently : "Second, we should separate some of the reconnaissance horses and reconnaissance soldiers, and investigate westwards, not only in the situation in the Alice region, but also in the movement of the Arcadia Union Army, just in case.
Then, Your Highness, you will write to tell Secrian that we are in a difficult situation and urge him to launch an attack on the Spartan coast and make the landing as soon as possible.
At the same time, we led the main force east into the territory of Tegya. Instead of actively attacking the Spartan camp, we pretended to build a new camp at the border between Tgeya and Sparta, forcing the Spartan army to leave the camp with us. A decisive battle. "
"What if the Spartan army can't close the camp and want to unite the Ellis army to fight against us again?" Crotokatax couldn't help asking.
"Then we really built camps there, blocked the return of the Spartans, and then sent some soldiers to cooperate with the fleet soldiers of the First Fleet to attack the Spartan territory from the north...I think the Spartans Never want to see this happen," Prentals said unhurriedly.
After listening to Printols, Croto Kataks fell into contemplation and did not respond for a long time.
Pringles couldn't help but ask: "His Royal Highness, do you think there are any deficiencies in my plan?"
Crotocatax heard a little dissatisfaction from Prentals and said apologetically: "Master Printols, your suggestion is very good, I have no objections! I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now , Because your plan inspired me and gave me an idea."
Crotocatax's initiative to admit his mistakes not only made Printols utterly oblivious, but he was too shameless and asked seriously, "What's a good idea, Your Highness?"
"When I was in Turi, I read in detail the past history of the main Greek city-states. The reason why Alice expressed goodwill to us was because although it is a member of the Peloponnesian League, In the war of Bennesa, there had been enmity with Sparta because of the ownership of Leprion. Before the Corinthian War, the Spartan army invaded the Alice territory and forcibly occupied some of its territory. 'After signing, Sparta even supported Pisa and forcibly transferred the hosting rights of the Olympia Games originally owned by Alice to Pisa...Since then, the Alice have hated Sparta, so they deserved it When they knew that our army was going to fight Sparta, they were very happy and sent Ionikos to Mesenia with the fleet.
Now the reason why Alice agreed to join the Greek alliance against us is probably because Pisa succumbed to it, giving it a chance to finally unify the western part of Peloponnese. But it forgot that if we were really defeated and quit Peloponnese, once Sparta regained its strength, it would still compete with it for the dominance of the western region...
So we should send diplomat Carrias to Alice and make a promise to them,'Alice is not necessarily required to support us, but as long as Alice can remain neutral, Dionia will support Alice Become an ally of the western region of Peloponnese....Even if the Ellis do not agree with our proposal, they will hesitate and dispute, which will delay the military mobilization against us... Lord Prentals, how do you feel? "
Crotocatax’s suggestion brightened Printols, who only focused on the military, and sincerely praised: "Your Highness, your suggestion is really wonderful! I think we should not only let Carry Asli’s mission to Ellis can also be used to dispatch other city-states, thereby disrupting the situation in Greece that is beginning to be detrimental to us..."
……………………………………………………
Crotocatax and Prentals are stepping up to implement their plan, but on the second day they received news from Scout Rider: The Spartan army is attacking the city of Taglia.
The initiative of the Spartan army made Printols feel that this was a good opportunity to fight against the Spartan army, so under his proposal, Croto Kataks left 3,000 soldiers stationed in the camp and led The army went to the rescue.
The road leading to Taglia is a narrow, undulating mountain road, flanked by hills at higher altitudes. Experienced Prentals did not let Croto Kataks come in, but suggested that first Sending a mountain reconnaissance team to ascertain the surrounding conditions, it turned out that Spartan troops were ambushing in the mountains.
Therefore, Klotokatax sent a mixed force composed of light armour and light infantry to take the initiative to attack the Spartan army ambushing on the hill.
The battle is not fierce. This Spartan army does not have Spartan soldiers, mainly mercenaries, and no heavy infantry. After the whereabouts are exposed, it faces the trained Dionysian light armor and light infantry. In coordination with the tacit attack, he quickly chose to retreat.
However, the fighting between the mountains delayed the time, and it was approaching dusk. The Dionyan army had to choose a place to camp.
Early in the morning of the third day, the Dionysian army continued to march, but in order to prevent the ambush and harassment of the Spartan army, the march was not fast. It was only in the morning that the forefront troops entered the Territory of Tagya.
Tigeria-Mandinia Plain is a rare flat land with a large area in Arcadia. It is a narrow area with a north-south direction. The river is vertical and horizontal, and the land is relatively fertile. It is the entire Peloponnese. The famous wheat growing area on the peninsula is also a granary in Arcadia.
The soldiers trudged through the mountains and came to the plain with a wide view. They saw the green wheat fields all over the place, and they were undulating in the breeze.
Crotocatax has no leisure time to enjoy the scenery, because he has received the return of the reconnaissance ride: the Spartan army is attacking the city of Tegya, the battle situation is very fierce, depending on the situation, the Tgeya people have suffered heavy casualties. Can't resist.
Prior to this, Printols and the generals had an analysis: under the protection of the Spartans for a long time, Tegya did not build its own walls as carefully as the Mandinians. Its walls have not been maintained for a long time. There are no trenches and other defensive facilities outside the city, but after all, Taglia is one of the largest states in the Arcadia region, with a large population and should be able to hold on for a while.
Why can't it be so fast?
But the reports of the reconnaissance riding stations that returned one after another were the same: the Spartan army completely encircled the city of Tegya, the Spartan soldiers had already attacked the head of Tgeya several times, and there were corpses everywhere in Tgeya... …
It seems undoubtedly, under the strong attack of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Spartan army, the city of Taglia is in jeopardy!
Crotocatax and Prentals must not allow the city of Tygea to fall into the hands of the Spartans, because first of all it is still spring, and the food in the people of the Tegea people is still sufficient, which can Greatly alleviate the food shortages of the Spartan army; secondly, Sparta captured the city of Taglia in the middle of the plain, and just established a foothold on this plain, and could continue to threaten Mandinia to the north, Obtained a certain strategic initiative.
So Klotokatax issued the order: "Speed ​​up the march and advance towards the city of Taglia!"
At the same time, the UU reading book www.uukanan.com The Prince Dionysia also added an order: "Try not to trample the wheat field!"
The city of Taglia is only a dozen miles from its southwestern edge, and its terrain is flat. The Dionysian army advances faster, and by noon the vanguard troops can already see the outline of Taglia City.
At this time, Crotocatax received the return of the reconnaissance ride: most of the Spartan army had been withdrawn, and the soldiers began to face west and form an array.
The Spartans are now preparing for a battle with us! ...Kloto Kataks saw that the goal he was seeking was about to be achieved so soon. First, there was a burst of joy, and then he was nervous again. After all, the upcoming battle will determine the success or failure of the Dionysian army and thousands of soldiers. Life and death.
Of course, Prentals was much calmer. He suggested that the army suspend the advancement, and at the same time, he asked to go up close and check the situation of the Spartan army.
After hearing, Crotocatax also indicated that he wanted to go, and also blocked the mouth of the persuaders on the grounds that "my father often came to observe himself in battle".
