Vol 9 Chapter 140: Spartan Landing Battle (2)

Although these two terrains are dangerous, the construction of these two fortresses was still during the Messenian riots decades ago. During the decades, the Messenians were basically docile and there were no major riots ( During the Peloponnesian War, the black heroes of Mesenia fled mainly at the support of the Athenians), so the two fortresses were in disrepair for a long time and were badly damaged.
Until the recent invasion of Mesonia by the Dionysian army, Sparta urgently repaired it, but the time was short, and I always felt that the repairs were not complete enough. Now I am under attack by more than 10 times the number of defenders. He had to worry about him, so although the Dionysians were about to land on a large scale, he still pulled out 200 soldiers and rushed to rush for reinforcements.
At this moment, the infantry of the Dionyan Fleet staying near the coast began to move towards the shore.
According to the Dionysian military law, Sefidorus, who is the commander of the Fleet Infantry, should usually sit in the rear, but the landing operations are special. Due to the difficulties in sea conditions, transportation, and the concentration and reorganization of the soldiers after landing, the Cyprus Fedorus sent all the fleet infantry to the coast at one time. It was useless to sit in the rear. It was better to be a pioneer, but to boost morale and win more chances for the army in difficult situations, so Like other infantry in the fleet, Sefidorus wore a leather armor, a leather shield and a leather helmet, and swam towards the shore in a breaststroke pose.
Although all Greek fishermen are good swimmers and most of the fleet infantry comes from them, this standard breaststroke pose is still taught by Professor Davers, mainly to try to be silent and labor-saving when crossing arms.
The infantry of the fleet at this moment really did not move hard, just like a piece of wood floating on the sea, approaching the coast along the tide.
And in the eyes of the Spartans on the shore: a black tide line across the Gulf of Laconia rushed towards them quickly.
When the water was shallow, the soldiers of the Dionysian Fleet stood up one after another.
After all, Sefidorus was old, panting when he stood up, and a bit cold, but he still put on the leather helmet as quickly as other soldiers, took off the leather shield, pulled out the dagger, and tried his best to speak loudly. Shouted: "The whole team!"
The tumbling tide made his voice not far away, but all the fleet infantry had already understood the entire landing action plan in advance. At this time, they were consciously reorganizing the formation. When the soldiers originally stayed in the sea, the soldiers followed the combat formation. The gathering was now slightly reorganized, and a dense formation with a length of nearly three miles and a thickness of 5 columns appeared in front of the Spartan army.
Yoda Midas was surprised by the rapid formation of the Dionysians, which made him attempt to take advantage of the irregular formation of the Dionysians when he landed and failed to launch an attack. He immediately realized that Dionysians This time, people came prepared, wanting to take advantage of Spartan's absence, and try their best to break into Spartan territory.
I will never let your conspiracy succeed! ... Yoda Midas waved the spear forward, shouting angrily: "Offense!"
Led by Yoda Midas, the Spartan army began to run forward. When they set foot on the soft beach again, dozens of stone bombs roared again. Some black soldiers showed uproar, but in Spartan team officers screamed loudly and had to continue to run forward in a panic, until the stone bomb fell behind them, they were temporarily relieved.
Sefidorus led the soldiers steadily forward. Because the sea water overflowed the crotch, they could not run. Fortunately, the tide pushed them, and they were not hindered too much. When the sea water gradually receded from the hip to the foot When the legs of the infantry of the fleet had just returned to freedom, the enemy had rushed to the front.
The infantry of the fleet had neither a javelin shot nor a long shield defense. They could only raise their leather shields and daggers and go up hard.
An army consisting of nearly 300 Spartan fighters, more than 500 old Spartan fighters, 2,000 Beliasian soldiers, more than 4,000 black robbers, and 9,000 Dionysian infantry (The First Fleet of Dionysian has nearly 280 crow warships, each crow warship has a fleet of 40 infantry, and the first fleet has a total of more than 10,000 infantry, although the last landing operation paid thousands of people. Sekerian sent all the fleet infantry without hesitation, and finally fought together on the coast.
Xenophon climbed up to the sentry tower at the rear of the beach and nervously overlooked the battle ahead. He knew that this battle would determine the life and death of Sparta. Asian shooting.
............................................................
After the battle continued for a period of time, the situation changed significantly: the right wing with Spartan soldiers and old soldiers as arrows, with the ability of Spartan soldiers and the power of heavy infantry, took the upper hand and killed them. The left wing of the Onia Fleet Infantry keeps receding and has retreated into the sea;
The middle road, dominated by Piriasi soldiers, also temporarily has a slight advantage. After all, Piriasi soldiers who often follow the Spartans have more combat experience, and although they wear simple pointed helmets and leather A, but with a copper shield and a spear, the defensive strength is still stronger than that of the infantry of the fleet. With the assistance of the archer with the sentry tower, the infantry of the fleet that are not strong in defense have suffered a lot;
Only on the left wing, the basically unprotected Black Raiders were only armed with a spear to fight against the fleet infantry wearing leather helmets and leather shields and short swords, and gradually fell into the disadvantage, even if there were Spartans mixed in. The veterans struggled to maintain the shooting of the front and the rear whistle archer, and the left wing was still moving backwards. This made the east-west front gradually change to the northeast-southwest.
Xenophon was squeezing sweat for the Spartan army, while Secrean, who stood on the flagship and listened to the watchman's report on the mast, was even more anxious: "The fleet infantry that landed yesterday?! Why hasn't it appeared yet? ?!"
"Maybe... maybe you are in trouble..." The flagship captain replied carefully.
"Damn it! There is a problem at the critical moment!" Seckrian scolded angrily, then said helplessly: "Then... send the reserve team immediately!"
"Yes!"
In the military meeting yesterday, inspired by the Fleet Infantry Commander Sefidorus, other squadron commanders also made a lot of comments, one of which is: Considering that the Fleet Infantry and the Heavy Infantry do not have an advantage in frontal combat Can the two brigades of the Seventh Army stationed in Mesenia send some heavy infantry to participate in the landing battle?
Later, after discussion and improvement, it was changed to: Invite the Dionysian troops stationed in Mesenia to counterattack the attack from the east to Sparta, and at the same time ask them to send 300 heavy infantry to participate in the landing operation.
Originally using them as a reserve team, Sekerian still hoped that the infantry of the fleet could win the battle alone, but now that the battle situation is at a disadvantage, he has to send a reserve team because of fear of failure.
I saw a 5m square raft made urgently by the crew of the First Fleet, and a 7th legionnaire soldier with a black and black armor standing in the middle, with a water manipulating wood pulp, passed through the warship. Void. Because the raft is shallower than the boat, through the tide, it smoothly passes through the sea of ​​the blocking wooden pile, and it is drawn towards the left wing of the fleet infantry...
"Oops, Dionysian reinforcements!" Xenophon saw this situation in the sentry tower and was very anxious: Sparta had no more soldiers to block the enemy's reinforcements. What should I do? !
Xenophon was in a hurry, and suddenly saw a group of black laborers carrying materials in the camp. He rushed down the sentry tower like a doctor and rushed to the camp. He wanted to organize these black laborers to go to the front. Spartan army.
The dozen Spartan veterans who were responsible for the black heroes in the camp learned that the situation was urgent and immediately agreed with Xenophon’s proposal, but the problem came one after another: Even if these hundreds of black heroes were organized, they did not Weapons, how to fight?
The Spartans were very strict with the black raiders. Even those black raiders who were going to fight were given weapons before the battle. There were so many black raiders in the camp after the army went to battle. Of course There can be no more weapons left.
After urgently rummaging through the camp, I found more than a dozen broken spears. Xenophon had to let the black robbers extract the wooden poles supporting the tent. It was a promise and a threat to force the black robbers. He reluctantly followed him to the right of the Spartan army. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com
Before, the Spartan warrior's onslaught left the infantry of the Fleet infantry with some casualties. For the sake of honor and the life and death of the entire fleet of infantry, they could only retreat to relieve the pressure given by the enemy. The offense of the Bada fighters weakened. The reason is very simple. The surging tide and the soft seabed have a greater impact on the Spartan warriors wearing heavy helmets and armor, and the awkward action. They have to allocate some energy to maintain their body balance, and the fleet infantry It is common.
Under such circumstances, the left wing of the fleet infantry gradually recovered some decline.
Then the soldiers of the 7th Legion arrived one after another and immediately attacked the flanks of the Spartan soldiers.
The Spartan soldiers fought bravely under the attack. They knew that their home was behind them, so they could not retreat.
Xenophon led the black raiders across the beach and rushed to the right wing for reinforcements. On the battlefield shrouded by the sound of tides, fights and screams, he was so anxious that he could not hear the outpost not far from him The archer exclaimed: "There are enemy reinforcements! On the east side! On the east side..."
