Vol 6 Chapter 94: Battle of the Ramatu River (3)

The experienced Syracuse soldiers looked coldly through the narrow eyebrows of the helmet. Although they have not been killed by the Diaonians, they know that a bigger attack is coming, so their steps are Constantly accelerating.
The Dionysian light infantry quickly retreated from the passage between the small squares, and the small infantry array in the back row moved forward quickly, quickly connecting the entire array of Dionia.
At this time, the enemy has entered a distance of 50 meters, and there is no need for the team officers to order. Aifei Aerte, these heavy infantry have stepped, raised their arms and throws...
Tens of thousands of javelins flew out from the front line of the Allied Forces Road for two miles, covering the sky and hitting the Syracuse square. The early guards of the Syracuse soldiers put the round shield on the top of the head, up and down and left and right. The stack formed a long copper wall, and the death whirlwind from the javelin rain made the Syracuse's screams no longer cover up, so the Syracuse soldiers began to speed up and run.
At the forefront of the front line, Aifei Alte and his comrades had not had enough time to throw out the javelin, so he did not hesitate to throw away another javelin. The left hand put the long shield in front and the right hand tightened the gun and accelerated together. Rush forward. They must mention the speed of the forward stroke to the fastest within a short distance of 30 meters.
On one side is a golden giant wall, and on the other side is a black wave.
"Apollo!!!..."
"Hades!!!!..."
In the deafening shouts, the two sides slammed into each other, and the earth was trembled at this moment.
At that moment, Aifei Alte felt a huge force hitting the shield, almost smashing his shielded hand, causing his body to involuntarily lean back, and then the same powerful afterward The force pushed him back again, and the rifle that he stabbed before was blocked by the opposing enemy with a round shield, and his long shield also blocked the other's rifle, because the strength of the front rush was too great, so the lance was double Broken.
Aifei Alte resisted the pain of his right hand and pulled out the short sword at the waist.
The soldiers on both sides were crowded together, and the space for each soldier’s activities was very small. The top Dionian soldiers, regardless of whether the stab guns were broken or not, threw them and replaced them with short swords. The opposite Syracuse people also picked up a number of curved sabers, and the close-up killing began...
.......................................
In the middle of the middle road formed by the Daonian Legion, the light infantry contest was dominated by the Diaonians, but in other fronts it was the Syracuse light infantry.
Because Crotone, Xiliting, and Trina did not have the habit of stalking when the heavy infantry was marching forward, and the light infantry was still harassing in front, they suffered a lot of losses. Their solution to this is to speed up the pace of advancement and fight with the Syracuse heavy infantry as soon as possible.
The light infantry of the coalition forces, except for Dionya, is concentrated on the left end of the left wing of the entire military array, behind the cavalry. When both sides are strangled together, only the place is still calm.
Felicius knew that in terms of cavalry, the cavalry of the coalition was not only inferior to the cavalry of Syracuse in terms of quantity and ability. Therefore, he brought together 500 cavalry led by Sobekos and other city-state cavalry to form a team of 1,500 cavalry, holding the side of the left wing of the coalition to prevent the enemy from riding back to the flank (because the outer right wing of the coalition is the Lamato River, Felicius thought that the Syracuse cavalry could not be placed on this side, and warned them: Don't let it go easily. Once the enemy rides, let nearly 4,000 light infantry behind him, use the long-range firepower to break it up. With the help of cavalry, it should be able to fight against the fierce Syracuse cavalry.
The real killing of Filipinos is on the left. His formation is similar to the strategy Daves used to defeat the Brutus on the Cosenza Plateau. The weaker troops are placed on the right wing, relying on the river. To support, the safety of the flank is guaranteed, and the enhanced left wing is used to win the victory. But unlike the Pune Battle, the left wing of the coalition was weak and the infantry was strong. 17,000 Crotone infantry and tens of thousands of Sileant infantry (some of which were close to the middle of the Silein infantry) formed the left wing. The light is more than forty columns in array thickness.
After Fibidas arrived at the right wing of Syracuse, although he did not know the detailed arrangement of the enemy on the opposite side, he stood in front of the queue and stopped to look at it. He looked at the erected rifle that was stretched back and forth, and he was experienced immediately. Realize that once the military number blows, the enemy's impact will be amazing!
He made a quick decision: also thicken his own array!
However, in this way, the length of the right wing with fewer troops than the other side is necessarily shorter than the other side, and it is easy to be surrounded by the other side.
At the same time, Phibidas made an astonishing decision. He ordered the right-wing soldiers to immediately line up into a curved line that protruded outward. In this way, when the Syracuse soldiers were in the inner circle, they naturally made up for the lack of array length.
....................................
When the military number blew, nearly 30,000 infantry on the right wing of the South Italian Allied Forces took a big step and marched toward the enemy in a mighty manner.
There are many Crowton soldiers who are similarly captured by Dionya like Klebs. They bear the guilt of defeat, and they experienced Crotone’s glory to decline, watching the former enemy wearing On the rapid rise of Onia, my heart has always been lost and confused.
So today they want to prove themselves like a general of the General Ascalas, and prove that Crotone is brilliant! Although it is not the same as before, Crotone's strength is far behind the Diaonian city-state alliance, but this is the pride of the Crotones, the citizenship of the sports state!
Therefore, even if the arrows in the air are sprinkled like raindrops, they cannot delay the speed of their advancement. As they try to maintain their formation, they are gradually accelerating their pace...
The huge team made a terrible burst of roar, and the Crotone soldiers began to charge...
Everyone's eyes are staring at the enemies that are getting closer and closer, and the faces are intertwined with excitement, only looking forward to the terrible and maddening moments coming soon!
"Apollo!!!..." They screamed and slammed into the Syracuse.
....................................
Generally speaking, when the heavy infantry horns of the two sides come together, at this time, the entire array starts to move forward from the rear row, in order to prevent the other party from pushing itself back and back, and finally smashing the front line. In the rout, the rear infantry of both sides not only stayed close to the comrades in front, but also tried to advance the rifle as far as possible, hoping to help the front squad to increase the threat to the enemy, and they also used their strength to push forward, which made it at the forefront. The space occupied by soldiers is getting smaller and smaller.
Aifei Alte is not worried. He is like a regular training. He steps forward, his body is slightly squatting and leaning forward. The half-length shield almost protects the entire leg, torso and neck. From time to time, he uses the power from behind. The long shield suddenly pushes forward to the top, and the force is transmitted to the copper semi-circular corner of the curved long shield. The force is quite large. If you hit an enemy with insufficient protection, it is enough to make his chest fracture. Shooting on the enemy's round shield can also make a hard copper shield appear a pit.
On the contrary, the Syracuse soldiers' round shield hit the long shield. First, the long shield rounded corners easily lead to the round shield slipping and the top is not correct. Moreover, the powerful force transmitted by the round shield spreads through the circular impact angle to the entire curved shield, and then passes to Aifei Alte, the power is much smaller, which makes Aifei Alte have enough time to suffocate. .
Aifei Alte is trying to disturb the defense of the other side with a long shield. The half-meter long, double-edged, thick-backed short-sword that is gripped by the right hand is a chance. From time to time, he quickly penetrates from the gap between himself and the other. Take out. It is a pity that the two Syracuse soldiers next to him are seemingly experienced and have been repeatedly escaped by them.
The thickness of the troops of the Dionysian Army and the Syracuse Middle Road are similar. In the case of almost equal strength, the squeeze to the middle becomes more serious.
Affinity and the enemy on the opposite side are getting tighter and tighter. He can even feel the heat from the tiny mouth under the central nosepiece of the Corinthian helmet.
When he saw that the cold eyes of Susan were suddenly bright, his instinctive head went down and the long shield came up.
"Hey!" The dog's leg knife that the other party waved was being cut on the shield board~EbookFREE.me~ and his low head suddenly saw something, and his heart suddenly became excited.
That is the enemy's foot! Although the Greek round shield is large, it is not as long as a long shield. The feet of the enemy wearing leather sandals are exposed under the round shield. If it is not for the love of Fiat Alte, it is impossible to find this flaw through the gap below.
He immediately used the long shield to force the other side's round shield, and the head went down again, and the waist went down again (if the Collins helmet was worn, it was impossible to make such a large bending and bowing movement), the right hand dagger Slashing forward and downward, the sharp tip of the sword pierced the other's right foot and back without any hindrance.
I heard a scream of screaming from the enemy. Aifei Alte didn't look at the results, and quickly pulled back the short sword. While the long shield was slamming forward, the left foot took a step forward. As the enemy screamed to the ground and the enemy behind it was about to make up, he pushed forward into a small gap in the other's shield wall.
Said to be late, then fast, his short sword once again violently stabbed to the right side, the enemy next to it is against the Philippine team's teammate shield, not because of his companion's fall Correspondingly prepared, suddenly pierced by a sword without the right arm covered by armor, he screamed, even the dogleg saber was lost on the ground.
