Aifei Alte quickly withdrew his short sword, hid his body under the long shield, shunned the enemy's stab guns and sabers, and the right teammates seized the enemy when they fell to the ground. Pushing forward to his side, fighting side by side with him, also makes the enemy's front shield wall more broken.
Just a moment when the rabbit fell, Aifei Alte injured two people.
In the close melee, the combination of the long armor and the short sword of the Daiyan Army is obviously stronger than the combination of the Syracuse heavy infantry round shield and the saber. After all, the Greek saber has a certain degree of bending and more It is suitable for slashing, not straight stab, and the shield does not protect the whole body from long shields. The Syracuse had to be more highly focused, because the sharp tip of the sword would occasionally be stabbed from the gap between the shield and the shield, and would be injured if accidentally.
....................................
In the left wing of the coalition, the Crotonian cadres of all Greece, known for their wrestling and boxing, continued to release their violent violence.
Although Filbidas thickened the array of right-handed Syracuse, he could not increase the number of soldiers he led. Therefore, under the pressure of the Crotones, the right wing of Syracuse slowly retreated in the whole, making The arc of the formation is getting more and more curved.
However, according to the tradition of the Spiesbada people, it is standing in the front of the square and killing the enemy. Even if the situation is a little bad, it is impossible to make some arrangements from the array to change the situation on the field. He only It is hoped that the mercenary cavalry will be able to faithfully carry out the pre-war plan. In fact, the mercenaries of Syracuse and the cavalry have already begun operations.
In the face of such an exciting battle, the more militant Numibia and Celtic cavalry have long been eager to try.
Axi Lita screamed, and about 2,000 Numisbian cavalrymen followed him to rush out.
In the Mercedes-Benz, they gradually discharged a slender column, swiftly passing from the outside of the Allied cavalry, making a weird roar and throwing a javelin at the coalition cavalry.
The Allied Light Infantry immediately fired an arrow at the enemy.
Because the Numisbian cavalry is a single-row slanting forward, and the formation is loose, and in the fast movement, the middle arrow is not too many, but at the same time the coalition cavalry stabbed by the javelin is quite a lot.
The coalition cavalry began to stir up, and Sobekos repeatedly greeted them to remain calm.
When Axi Rita led the Numisbian cavalry to take a big circle and turned back from the dust, ready for another round of javelin throwing, many coalition cavalry finally couldn’t stand it and rushed up.
They took the lead and the other cavalry rushed forward.
Sobokos couldn't stop it. Although he was a temporary coalition cavalry commander, the Dionysian cavalry did not occupy a majority in the entire coalition cavalry, only 500. Moreover, in the eyes of the Greeks, the cavalry is the privilege of the nobility, the stage that reflects the individual's bravery, and its organization has always been loose, and how to listen to the order of Sobixos.
Soon Sobes found that there were only 4,000 light infantry left by the Dionysian cavalry and coalition forces.
Axi Lita saw the coalition cavalry rushing up, his face showing a smile.
He flexibly manipulated the stables and quickly turned the rushing horse into a slanting front, then turned to the east to speed up the evacuation. Because he was at the head of the team, the rear Numibian cavalry could see his movements and immediately learned the way. The entire Numidian cavalry turned around and ran east.
The coalition cavalry thought that the enemy was fleeing and urging the horse to chase.
Sobes is in a dilemma: is it catching up? Still staying behind?
Opposite a few hundred meters away from the dusty fog, there seems to be an enemy riding on the sidelines, but Sobekos is the commander of the coalition cavalry. If he does not act with other city-state cavalry, then it is contrary to Dionia as the owner of the South Italian League. The amount of gas, there is the suspicion of sitting down as a joint cavalry failure and not going to rescue.
Sobekos thought about it and thought, finally making a painful decision. He first explained to the light infantry commander, and they paid attention to the remaining cavalry on the opposite side. Then led the 500 Dionysian cavalry to chase in the direction of the coalition cavalry.
Shortly after the departure of the Dionysian cavalry, the coalition light infantry officers heard the rumbling sounds of the rumbling, accompanied by a scream of screaming, as if the drums were slamming the drums and the whole ground was trembled. .
"Let's throw the arrow! Let's put the arrow!!......" The commander of the Allied Light Infantry was screaming and yelling anxiously.
The light infantry have never seen the cavalry charge them on such uneven grounds with such high speeds, dense, wide fronts and desperate dust. The pursuit of the ultimate speed, not afraid of life and death, scared them with their hands, hurriedly shot the arrow, turned and fled.
The Celtic cavalry, active in the Po River Valley in northern Italy, cut straight into the loose coalition light infantry team like a sharp knife.
I heard a horseman call, many Celtics fell off immediately from the emergency stop, and the coalition light infantry were not stabbed by a spear, or they were hit by a war horse, and more were scattered.
How can the bloodthirsty Celtics let them go, drive the horses to catch up, all the enemies who have escaped, and then jump off the horses, according to the Celtic fighting customs, the heads of the stabbed soldiers will be one by one. Cut off and hang on horseback...
Sobekos never imagined that the 4000 Allied Light Infantry, which he had high hopes for, was so quickly defeated by the Celtic cavalry with only 800 rides. But at the moment, he had no intention at all to consider the situation of these left-handed light infantry.
Filipius originally chose to fight here, in order to limit the play of the cavalry in Syracuse. Now, due to the rush of the coalition cavalry, the terrain has become their embarrassment. The speed is slow and some people are not a big problem. The danger is that the Numisbian cavalry is much more flexible than the horses on this terrain. They even play like children, picking up the uneven areas and returning from time to time to throw javelins at the coalition cavalry who drove them. .
From time to time, the teammates who were shot down, the chasing queues of the coalition cavalry became sparse, and they began to make them cringe.
However, after the Numisbian cavalry saw the coalition cavalry not chasing, they took the initiative to stick it up.
In the back, Sobekos used his calmer mind to find dust on both sides of the chaos chasing formations of the coalition cavalry, and suddenly felt nervous: the enemy attempted to pack the coalition cavalry!
"Let them retreat! Go and let them retreat!!" Sobercos immediately urged the commander next to him.
Before the troops were speeding forward, the coalition cavalry had begun to panic back.
They finally realized that compared with these hiring cavalry in Syracuse, their riding skills were far worse, and the danger of the whole army was destroyed.
But how can the Numidians easily let the prey that fell into the trap easily run away? Although the big net has not fully opened, the Axi Rita still blew the horn.
The Numidian cavalry, which was spurred by the hood, was only wearing a simple robes, and was sleek on the back of the horse, and immediately had a faster riding speed than the Allied cavalry.
The coalition cavalry, like the arrested birds, panicked and ran backwards. Some even fell too far from the horseback because of too much fear. The running horses trampled into meat.
This time, the Dionysian cavalry ran at the forefront of the entire retreat and pursuit team.
When Sobekos led them back to the original location, and the 4,000 coalition light infantry who wanted to stay there could stop the enemy's pursuit, the sights that fell into the eye surprised the Dionysian cavalry: they were originally arranged in an geese The coalition light infantry has ceased to exist. There are only human bodies, horse corpses, and wounded soldiers. Some naked upper-class indigenous people (the Celtics) are pulling something in the corpse, and returning to life from time to time. The coalition’s wounded soldiers have a knife and even cut their first level...
Seeing such a fierce scene, I am also a heart-wrenching Deanian cavalry.
The Celtics saw a cavalry coming in, and they all turned over and prepared to intercept.
At such a critical moment, Sobers had no time to think too much.
"Go north! Go north!..." Sobers waved his spear and pointed forward. There was only one thought in his heart: to lead these terrible alien cavalry, lest they bring trouble to the whole battle. .
Sobercos took the lead, and the Dionysian cavalry led the frightened coalition cavalry to retreat to the Kolac River.
The upper reaches of the Korache River are neither wide nor deep. It is only when Sobokos urges the horse to run down from the sloping river embankment. The forefoot of the horse has suddenly slipped. He is tired and unable to hold the horse's neck and is frightened. The horse was thrown to the ground.
"Hey!" Soberkos fell heavily on the ground, and he immediately felt a pain in his leg~EbookFREE.me~ It hurts him almost fainting, he has been old and screams: Oops, his legs are broken!
He put his hands on the ground and tried to get himself to stand up, but it was all in vain, but it made the pain worse.
"Captain! Captain!!" The Dionysian cavalry saw Sobercos fall, and immediately anxiously came to him.
Their change immediately hindered the advancement of the rear cavalry. The Dionysian cavalry and the coalition cavalry were entangled in the river bank, causing the retreat of the cavalry in this area to almost stagnate, and the people shouted and huddled together. The enemy is already approaching quickly...
Soberkos endured the pain and shouted: "Don't worry about me! Go away! Go away!! Don't let the flag... The flag falls in the hands of the enemy! This is the order!!"
He shouted and sat on the ground, solemnly placing his right fist on his left chest.
Most of the Dionysian cavalry had tears in their eyes, returned to the military ceremony, then turned the horse's head and rushed into the Korache River.
There were still a small number of cavalry who insisted on rushing over, and at this moment, the javelin of the Numidia cavalry had already flown, and the first few cavalry immediately rolled down.
