Vol 8 Chapter 253: Gera Battle (3)

When the captain shouted "Retreat", the light infantry quickly withdrew and retreated, reaching the rear through the gap of the square. By this time, they still have about 700 people, and almost everyone is more or less injured.
When the Eighth Army was 50 meters away from the Carthage Army, it slowed down the pace and quickly transformed the array of chessboards into a tight square.
The Balearic Stonemen and the Lusitania Javelinmen also took the opportunity to withdraw from the small space between the two armies. They suffered nearly 200 casualties and gained the upper hand.
After the Eighth Legionnaires saw the other side's light infantry withdrawn, the forward pace slowed down, and at the same time, the javelin was taken out and prepared.
At this time, the Phoenician Numisbian infantry, who was still at rest, under the command of the team officers, suddenly began to make great strides and was ready to launch an assault on the Eighth Army.
This move by the infantry infantry disrupted the attacking rhythm of the Eighth Army. After the first round of javelin was thrown, the soldiers had to charge and smothered with the enemy.
.............................................
Compared with the arrogant rush of the right wing, the middle and left wings of the Dionyrian coalition are still slowly advancing, and the middle and right wings of the Carthage army are still still in place, even arrayed, and well-trained. Compared with the infantry infantry, both the Iberian infantry and the Lusitania warriors seemed to be somewhat dragged. Fortunately, the right wing had Hasdruba in the lineup, under his loud shouts and command, the right wing After the Iberians and the Luciasians were in the line, they could not wait to move forward.
Especially the right-hand Lusitania, they run very fast.
At this time, the two sides are 100 meters apart, and the left wing of the coalition forces is still moving forward slowly. The soldiers of Kamanina have found through the narrow eye of Collins helmet that they have rushed to the front, the team officer. They hurriedly ordered the charge, but the speed was not fully up, and the Lusitania warriors ran into it.
Strong power is transmitted to the body through the shield. If it is not supported by a thick array behind it, the forefront of the Kamalina soldiers may be knocked out. But this is the case, they have also been hit, and lost the best posture of defense.
Of course, the Lusitania warriors will not let go of this great opportunity, and the sharp Fakata sword in the hand is fiercely stabbed.
The Kamanlina soldiers screamed and fell down, and the soldiers who defended the attack were also worried. They had a fear of these tall, burly and fierce enemies in front of them.
..........................................
When the two sides of the middle road finally got close, the battle between the Dionyrian coalition and the Carthage army has entered a full-scale battle. The killing posture of the two sides is completely a large slash. The army in the north is the west and the army in the south. The most east.
The three-mile-long line was shrouded in dust and dust that the soldiers killed by the two sides screamed, shouting, killing, and screaming everywhere... In such a large and astounding battlefield, Leo Tiddes even The only ones in the company can't do it. The only thing he can rely on is the detectives that are distributed behind the battlefield. From time to time, they will return the battle of their position to Leotizedes behind the middle road.
Are the soldiers moving forward or backward? Is it more casual or more casual? The former problem is easy to observe, while the latter problem is more dependent on the ability of the detective itself. The circumstances of the return of the detective ride were ultimately recorded by Mukru on the wooden boards he carried, and the merits of the battle were judged accordingly.
"Commander, you see." Mukher looked seriously at the board in front of Leo Tizides: "This is the situation just after the war! This is the situation now! Our left wing has retreated a big Cut, the middle road is slightly retreating, and the right wing of our Eighth Army is not moving forward!"
Leo Tizides stared at the wooden board full of data. In fact, he was listening to the situation reported by the detective, and his heart was roughly counted, but the drawing on the board was more intuitive and clear.
Leo Tizids's indifferent face became more gloomy: it can be said that at the beginning of the battle, his mood was relaxed, because his original plan was realized, and the Carthaginians did target him. The first array of military squads was carried out in a step-by-step manner, and the two sides became face-to-face heavy infantry contests. He believes that relying on the strong defensive power of the Greek heavy infantry can form a long-term stalemate, thus consuming more of the physical strength of the other soldier, which is conducive to the implementation of his next plan. What he never imagined was that the left wing was at a disadvantage only after fighting for half an hour.
He consciously attached great importance to this Carthage army, but the performance of the enemy exceeded his expectations.
"Let the cavalry regiment attack." He indulged for a moment and gave orders.
Mukru was slightly shocked. He knew that the original combat plan was not like this. Instead, after waiting for the long-term killing and exhaustion of both sides, even the Eighth Legion of the right wing still had a clear upper hand. The 4th Cavalry Corps The attack will be the last step to lay the victory, but now it has been used early.
Of course, Mukhlu did not dissuade him. He knew that the current situation is slightly unfavorable to the coalition forces.
"Wait a minute." Leo Tiddides made a little hesitation, and decisively said again: "Let the light armored brigade and the light infantry brigade follow the cavalry and attack the side of the left side of the Carthaginian!"
Mukruk stunned, this time he couldn't help but remind: "Commander adults, light armored brigade is our only reserve team!"
"The Carthaginians have casters, and they have a great threat to the cavalry." Leo Tiddides said calmly: "The reserve team is used at a critical time, and now it has reached a critical moment."
Mukhlu didn't talk any more. When the dispatching squad rushed to inform the three units, he felt a little uneasy. After all, Leo Tiddides would put a few winning chips on the Carthaginians. The left wing has since lost its ability to interfere with the entire battle.
The 4th Cavalry Corps and the friendly cavalry, who had been waiting at the rear of the right wing for half an hour, had already been impatient, so after the command of the attack, the head of the army took the lead, followed by other cavalry, and the 1000th of the 4th Cavalry Corps. The cavalry formed a long column of 4 rides, followed by 300 AIA cavalry.
The 4th Cavalry Corps of the Republic is the weakest of the four cavalry regiments of the Kingdom. In the territory of the Great Greece, Bruti, Mesapi, and Pucciti are all good at raising horses. The ability of the cavalry, but not in the Sicilian territory. And the breeding horse is different from the ordinary horse. It not only needs a lot of forage, but also rich bean food, in order to ensure that there is sufficient strength to carry the cavalry, and at the same time frequently control the horse, whether in combat or during training. They are extremely vulnerable to injury, so there are often at least two horses in the cavalry to ensure the basic training and combat needs. It can be seen that raising war horses is a big burden even for the wealthy citizens of Dionia and the citizens who specialize in farming and trading horses.
The Sicilian territory did not have the tradition of raising horses, and most of the people in these territories were the people who had been persecuted by Syracuse many times. There were not many wealthy people. The 4th Cavalry Corps was rarely registered when it was first established. After years of development, the lives of the people in the Sicilian territory have greatly improved. In addition, the Kingdom’s Senate has repeatedly passed many preferential policies for citizens who become cavalry. For example, families of cavalry do not have to pay land tax, which is given monthly by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Each cavalry pays a certain amount of subsidies... It can be said that the cavalry is the only army in the Dionynia service that has a fixed salary. Stimulated by these favorable factors, the number of the 4th Cavalry Corps has just exceeded 1,000, far from being full.
Over the years, the Fourth Cavalry Corps has been spent in military camps and has not experienced war. From the beginning to the present, this war has only served as a supporting role, and has not made great achievements. The cavalry are eager to prove themselves, so they bypass the right wing of the military array and a few hundred meters behind the enemy’s left wing. After pulling out a long arc, the head of the army, Asitmis, deliberately ignored the enthusiasm of Leo Tizides under the influence of the militant sentiments of the surrounding soldiers. EbookFREE.me ~ Did not wait for the arrival of the light armored brigade and the light infantry brigade, but decided to exploratory attacks first.
After the cavalry got the offensive command, they began to ride the horses and jogged in small steps. As a result, the speed was not raised yet. They were attacked by the flying stones of the Balearic Stonemen, even if they were hundreds of meters away. The flying stones are still quite accurate, and they focus on the horses intentionally. Compared with the leather helmets and the leather cavalry, the sensitive animals of the horses smashed a lead shot and immediately called and jumped. The soldiers who were riding on the horse were thrown away and panicked around.
For a time, the horses screamed, and the cavalry who fell to the ground were anxious to chase their horses. The scene was chaotic and the attack was forced to stop.
Assimius finally re-closed the cavalry. After a rough statistics, he lost more than 90 cavalry and even reached 1/10 of the rank of the legion. He couldn’t help but feel sad, never dared to act rashly, but waited quietly. The arrival of the helper.
After more than 10 minutes, the two brigades arrived.
During the waiting time, the cavalry were not idle. Assimimis dispatched a small team of cavalry to explore. After paying some casualties, he brought back the general arrangement of the Carthaginians behind the left wing: the enemy. The stone squadrons arranged a loose linear array facing the Fourth Cavalry Corps, 100 meters away from the enemy battlefield; there were hundreds of javelinmen in front of them, and hundreds of interracial light infantry guards (due to Kay Most of the Erte were naked and did not wear armor, so the Daonian cavalry thought they were light infantry...
