Vol 2 Chapter 36: Battle of the Great River Beach (1)


The Greeks also stopped chasing and began to gather the team and move forward slowly.
Except for Picosis and Vige Warriors, there are other soldiers wounded in the Three Cities. There are more than 9,000 troops in the array. From south to north, the array is about several miles long and belongs to Grummantum. The various tribes of Niutum and Laos are therefore slow to move.
In the face of the behemoth of the Lukaria tribe, only two thousand Greek mercenaries appeared too weak, but they suddenly accelerated to the left when they were slowed to the enemy's 100 meters.
When the leaders of Lucania did not respond, the Greeks had quickly approached the right wing of the coalition’s right wing. The Lucania soldiers, who were still in a mess, watched with horror as the Greeks threw a javelin at them and then They launched a fierce shock...
In the blink of an eye, the right side of the right wing of the Lukánian coalition led to a collapse...
"The despicable Greeks violated the faith, and they did not wait for us to complete the attack!" Sevilla was too angry.
Akpiu found himself making a mistake and sent a huge army to play against the short and capable Greek army. Just like the bulls facing the flexible mouse, they looked bloated and inoperable.
"Blow the number, let the soldiers attack immediately!" At the same time that the Greek army continued to attack the left along the right wing of the right wing, Akpi quickly issued the order: "Encircle them! Don't let them run!"
At the same time, other leaders also issued similar orders.
The Lukaria warriors who got rid of the restraint were like the hounds of the hounds who quickly rushed to the Greek army. They wanted to smash the hordes of the Greeks who repeatedly teased them and humiliated them and made them hate.
The Greek army immediately turned and ran east. As they ran, they threw away the round shield, threw the rifle, and threw away the sword to ensure that they were not caught up by the Lukarias who sprinted like crazy.
The Greeks ran hard in front, and the Lukania coalitions were chasing after them, gradually forming a long, intensive long dragon...
The Greeks turned the mountain beam, along the lower mountain road, and went east. They ran about ten miles. The soldiers all went up and did not breathe. Looking back, the Lukarias followed.
At this time, the Greeks left the mountain road and approached the Tino River... Then, they ran down the gentle and came to the big river beach on the opposite side of the famous hot spring swamp: although the soil was moist and soft, it took a piece of soil with one foot down, but The terrain is flat, and it is more labor-saving, easier, and faster than the mountain roads with uneven ground and stones. Of course, the Lukarias followed the riverbank, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with the Greeks...
"Brothers, hold on for a while, right away... It’s coming soon!" Filipinos, who was running in front, panted and cheered the soldiers around him in a hoarse voice, but he was also cheering himself. The forty-year veteran, this long-distance running has exhausted all his strength.
The Greeks ran over the beach and over the gentle slopes, and the Lucanias followed. However, when they were about to step on the top of the slope, they found that the rows of fully armed Greek heavy infantry had already set their sights. Welcomed.
"There is an ambush -" the front of the warrior has not yet shouted, the Greek army's stabbing gun will pierce his chest.
The exhausted Lukania fighters who have already run completely lost their ability to evade. Under the constant spurs of the Greek heavy infantry, they fell down like dumplings, and the soldiers behind them. I don’t know the situation ahead, I’m still running forward...
At this time, behind the Tarantum reinforcements responsible for the frontal interception, the soldiers of the Daves mercenary who had just been responsible for the enemies were eating big hot bread and drinking hot water, and squatting. Women and slaves brought in new round shields, stab guns and swords to quickly equip every soldier. The mercenaries know that their time is tight, they must fill the water at the fastest speed, and then rush to the front as quickly as possible to complete the finishing work of the encirclement.
Melsius also knows that his time is very tight. After completing the recruitment of the mercenaries, he will carry the heavily armed guards, slaves, slaves of the city of Turui, and dozens of slaves. The captains of the corps, the mercenary soldiers in charge of them, totaled about 1,000 people, including more than a dozen vehicles, rushed to the narrow place in front of the mountain road, established a defensive line, and blocked the reinforcements of the Lukania coalition.
Drax, Adrians, and Seta, who led about 1,500 mercenaries, ambushed on the side of the river bank, which was more than two miles long, and the front line was weak. Fortunately, there are about 700 offensive lines consisting of light shields and light infantry behind them, and seven hundred mine slaves armed. And between the two teams is Davers and his escort.
"The leader!" Asistics rode on horseback and said excitedly: "Our team has begun to travel quickly to the west side of the mountain!"
Daves nodded and tried to suppress the excitement and tension in his heart: the beginning of the entrapment action can be said to be fruitful. Look at the dense enemies below. The minimum estimate is 890, and the Lukania tribes have more than half of the troops. They are all concentrated here, excluding the soldiers who were killed or injured yesterday. The enemy’s camp is estimated to be no more than 5,000 people. The enemy in front of them will be wiped out. The Lukarias will no longer be able to make waves in the plains of Sobari. They should lie on the enemies on the river beach. In the case of chaotic organization, launch an attack and get it as soon as possible.
"Light infantry attack!" Daves decisively issued an order.
After Epiphanis and Zipert, they led the light shields through the mercenaries in front, and Alpens ordered the stonemen and archers to start loading ammunition...
The front was blocked, and the Lucian soldiers behind were still rushing because of inertia. Soon, countless Lukaria fighters were crowded together and gathered under the river bank, which was about half a mile wide and about two miles long. Many people have already felt that the situation is wrong, and they are loudly and nervously angry with each other. Shouting...
At this time, countless Greek soldiers appeared on the side slopes.
"There are enemies!"
"We have an ambush!"
......
With the shouts of the soldiers panicking, the javelin, arrows, and flying stones poured down...
The warriors are so crowded, and in order to facilitate the pursuit, most people have thrown away shields, helmets, and some even pulled out the breastplate. In the absence of protection, the mercenary light infantry do not need to aim. Every javelin, every stone, every arrow can easily hit the target.
"Quickly retreat!!" The companions beside them screamed and fell down~EbookFREE.me~The frightened soldiers wanted to escape, but in the crowded and small space, more than 9,000 people were hiding arrows. Yafei Stone, some want to pull back, some want to anger to kill the Greeks in front, killing them... Each person has their own ideas, chasing around headless flies, but the whole team is stirred up It’s quite confusing and unorganized. It’s quite difficult to complete a smooth retreat. On the contrary, it is more likely to cause trampling. In the face of death, the fearful soldiers unconsciously pushed down the people in front of them, and in a flash they died silently at the feet of countless people...
The leaders and warriors of all tribes saw this situation and were extremely anxious. However, in the crowds of noisy people, any shouting and blocking are in vain, but the trumpeters of the coalition forces are far behind the team, and they can’t rely on them.
"Kill out! Follow me to kill!..." Sevilla screamed at her strong body, shook the panicked tribe, held a spear, kept screaming, glaring at her eyes and rushing to the gentle on the side of the riverbank...
His predecessor's adventures attracted the attention of both sides, reminding the soldiers who were escaping from the arrow rain, and some of the soldiers began to follow him, braving the enemy's long-range strike and running to the gentle slope.
Chipert pulled out a javelin and wrapped a narrow strip of cloth around the middle of the gun. The other end of the apron was placed on the finger and unfolded like a bow full of strings, staring closer and closer to himself. Sevilla, but still. When he saw Sevilla's use of a round shield to block a javelin thrown by the light shield, he threw a javelin at Sevilla, and the apron in his hand was carrying a cloth strip because he was too hard and slipped under his feet. Pulling the javelin along the way, the javelin with a strong kinetic energy, while carrying a rotation, in the blink of an eye, accurately pierced the linen breastplate worn by Sevilla.
