Vol 9 Chapter 125: Battle of Taglia (1)

Just in case, the 1st Cavalry Corps sent 500 cavalry to protect.
A group of people quickly rushed to the vicinity of the city of Taglia. From afar, they saw thousands of Spartan soldiers running south and north in the southwest of Taglia City. The scene was noisy and messy. The city head shouted for killing. Obviously, the Spartans were still unwilling to give up the siege, and they were still making their final efforts.
Seeing that Croto Kataks led the cavalry to continue to approach, Spartan array also sent a lot of cavalry, intending to drive.
In order to prevent accidents, Prentals had to make Kloto Kataks retreat immediately.
On the way back, Crotocatax saw Printors frowning and contemplating, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything wrong with the Spartan formation?"
Prentals recovered, and said with a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, have you seen the real Spartan warriors? They are actually on the left of the array!"
Reminded by Prentals, Crotocatax recalled the scene he had seen before: In the battle line that lasted for several miles, thousands of Spartan warriors wearing traditional red large cloaks were indeed arranged At the southernmost point.
Klotokatax spent some time in the staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and participated in the study of the previous battles in the Mediterranean. He knew that due to the small population, the Spartans were very involved in the larger battles. Fighting less independently, almost all commanding coalition forces, and Spartan’s own soldiers are often concentrated on the right wing, relying on the traditional left-handed tactics of Sparta, to finally decide the victory or defeat of the battle, and this time the Spartan soldiers actually Focusing on the left wing is indeed unexpected.
He thought about it and said: "Is it because of the failure of the Battle of Ruktra, er, the Spartans think that their traditional tactics are no longer applicable, so they changed their deployment? Or... they just put up a formation. , Pretending to fight with us, just to slow down our rescue of Tegoya?"
Printols knew the current situation of Sparta, and was able to command and command such a large army. It was only their old King Agsilaus. He had known the veteran’s past battles and his style. Cunning and changeable, it is very different from the traditional Spartan general. This change in the previous battle array will of course cause him to pay attention, but for a time he could not guess the real intention of the other party, and temporarily put his doubts in my heart. Said: "Your Highness, you are right, we should first rescue Tegoya!"
However, when the Dionysian army approached Taglia, the Spartan army had all stopped siege and continued to form an array east of the Dionysian army. It seemed that they were really prepared to join Diao here. The Nyah army fought to death.
Crotocatax immediately summoned the heads of the legions and told them of the battle plan previously negotiated with Prentals.
"Your Highness, our first legion has the strongest fighting power, but you have arranged us on the left wing, and the fourth legion is on the right wing to fight against the Spartan soldiers. I think this seems a little unreasonable!" Ketisus objected.
"I think it's reasonable! The Fourth Army is fully capable of repelling the frontal Spartans and laying the ground for victory!" Olivers not only refuted loudly, but also put up the old qualifications: "Ketissus, see No, just becoming the head of the legion, you don’t take us into the eye."
"Sir Oliver, how dare I." Curtisus responded while screaming, but not reluctantly: "I'm just thinking of victory and telling a fact."
Seeing this, Croto Kataks hurried forward and persuaded: "You two don't fight anymore! I believe that the fighting power of the Fourth Army can completely resist or even repel the Spartan's offensive, but the entire battle was won. The key is on our left!
Commander of the Titus Army, you must lead the First Army to defeat the enemy in the face as soon as possible, and then attack the enemy's mid-wings to win the whole battle. I hope you can do it! "
Ketisus rejuvenated and said confidently, "His Highness, please rest assured that the First Army has never disappointed the commander!"
The contradiction seemed to be resolved, but then the 7th Legion Commander Tiger Tilos said dissatisfiedly: "His Royal Highness, you are too unfair to the 7th Legion! It is the soldiers of the 7th Legion who are staying in Mesenia! It’s my soldiers of the 7th Legion! Now I’m going to fight, and it’s the soldiers of the 7th Legion! Is the 7th Legion so hard to accompany you to the Peloponnese peninsula, and in the end a battle How did they face their loved ones after they went back!"
The more he came to the back, the more grievous Tiger Tilos felt, the louder and louder it was, attracting the soldiers all around to look over.
Compared with the Seventh Legion, all other legions benefited after all. The heads of the legions quickly looked at their noses and their hearts, a look that had nothing to do with me.
Although Crotocatax was hit like this, he was not annoyed, but rather apologized to persuade: "The commander of the Tiger Tilos, the commander of the Spartan army is King Agassius, he has always been good at It’s not easy to win a battle in this battle, so let the 7th Legion serve as a reserve team, hoping that you can control the whole battle at a critical time and win for us! Even if you defeated Sparta, we are in Greece The war will not end here. In future military operations, I assure you that the Seventh Army will be the first to be considered!
After listening to these words, Tiger Tilos looked slightly, immediately said: The Seventh Army will perform the duties of the reserve team.
Tiger Tilos looks big and big, but he is actually very thoughtful. Before leaving from Turri, Davos specifically talked to him. He felt that King Davos's ardent expectations of Croto Catax, how could he risk offending the king and not execute the order, just It was an opportunity to sloppy and attract the attention of the prince and earn more for the Seventh Army. After all, compared with the First, Fourth, and Sixth Army, the Seventh Army did not have any advantages.
"Time is running out, please ask the heads of the legions to rush back to their legions immediately after accepting the mission."
Watching the regiment leaders leave on horseback, Prentals, who had been silent before, sincerely praised: "Good job, Your Highness!"
Mukru, who was on the side, understood why Prentals said that. As the commander of the Dionysian army, in the face of the doubts of his men, he can completely solve it with one sentence-this is the order! After all, according to the "Dionysia Military Law", after the order is issued, the lower-level officers must strictly enforce it. But Crotocatax still patiently persuaded these generals at this time, and it can be seen that the statement about "His Royal Highness is humble" is indeed not a false word.
Under the orders of the heads of the various regiments and under the command of the team officers at all levels, all the soldiers of the Dionysian army moved quickly.
Although the formation of the Dionysian army started later than the Spartan army, the formation of the Dionysian army was basically completed after half an hour: the first army was on the left, the sixth army was on the middle road, the first The four legions are on the right wing. The array is 15 columns thick and about 4 miles in length. The 1st Cavalry Corps is divided into 1,000 cavalry soldiers at each end of the array.
Standing in front of the queue and watching the Dionysian formation, Agsilaus saw the opponent move quickly, and soon stopped the hustle and bustle, frowned, and looked back at the array of chaos on both sides behind him. Can't help saying: "Hurry to urge the generals to speed up the array!"
"Father." Akiddams hesitated: "Don't you let them deliberately slow down the array?"
"I think even if they don't have to slow down deliberately, the Dionysians will rank first." Agsilaus said helplessly: "Hurry and let me know, in case the Dionysians suddenly attack, we The formation is still so chaotic, how to fight!"
"Yes, father!" Archidams quickly ran back into battle.
Agassius looked again at the Dionysian formation. The field of vision was black. After looking at it for a while, he could not distinguish where the Dionysian formation was. But instead he felt sore eyes. He was helpless. Gave up his observation of the enemy formation, walked with a stick and crutches, and slowly walked back to the rear of the formation under the guard of the guard.
The sun has begun to drift to the west sky, and the warm sun shines on the plains of Taglia. On the east side, it is a four-mile Spartan formation with a dazzling light. On the west side, it is as dark as ink. The Dionysian formation, which is also four miles long, is three miles apart, and is surrounded by green wheat fields, like two yellow-black parallel lines drawn on a green cloth, and the two parallel The midpoint of the northern end of the line is Taglia City.
"Father, the formation is already in order, why haven't you launched an offensive yet?" Achidamus hurried over and asked.
"Don't worry, UU reads www.uukanshu.com and waits for a while." Agsilaus glanced at him and said unhurriedly.
"What are you waiting for, the soldiers have been waiting for half an hour, and then the sun sets!" Archidamus urged anxiously.
Agsilaus immediately dropped his face and said in a harsh tone: "You should stay with your soldiers instead of running here to make a mess and go back quickly!"
Agassius looked at the back of Archdamus, and subconsciously rubbed his face with his hands. In fact, he was not waiting, but in fear.
A veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades will be afraid?
But this is the truth. Although Agsilaus has gone through countless wars, he is the first to command a battle that can determine the life and death of Sparta, and the opponent is still a powerful Dionysian. He just saw the well-trained soldiers Although he had made careful arrangements for the battle in advance, when the battle came, his heart was inexplicably confusing. The life and death of Sparta was tied to his order, and he could not speak with difficulty.
