The Greeks also stopped pursuing, began to gather the team, and moved forward slowly.
Excluding the Picosis and Vig warriors, there are also the wounded warriors in the other three cities. There are more than 9,000 troops out of the camp. The length of the array is about several miles from south to north, belonging to Gru. The tribes under Mentum, Niutum, and Laos are therefore slow in their array.
In front of the behemoth Lukalia tribe coalition forces, the Greek mercenaries with only two thousand men seemed too weak, but they suddenly accelerated to the left when they slowly moved 100 meters away from the enemy's formation.
When the Lukanian leaders were unable to react, the Greek army quickly approached the right wing of the coalition forces. The Lukanian fighters who were still in a messy array watched in horror as the Greek army threw a javelin at them. , And then launched a fierce impact on them......
In the blink of an eye, the right wing of the Lucania coalition caused a collapse...
"The despicable Greeks violated faith and attacked without waiting for our line to be over!..." Sevilla cursed with anger.
Akpiru found that he had made a mistake and sent a huge army to fight against the short and capable Greek army, like a bull who faces a flexible mouse, looking bloated and not working well.
"Blow the trumpet and let the soldiers attack immediately!" While the Greek army continued to attack to the left along the right end of the right wing, Akpiru quickly issued an order: "Encircle them! Don't let them run!"
At the same time, other leaders also issued similar orders.
The Lukaria fighters who are free from restraint are like hounds spreading their joys and quickly approach the Greek army. They want this group of Greeks who have repeatedly teased them, humiliated them, and made them hate them.
The Greek army immediately turned and ran east. As they ran, they threw away their bucklers, spears, and swords to ensure that they would not be overtaken by the Lucarias who ran like crazy. .
The Greeks ran desperately in front, and the Lucania coalition forces pursued them, and gradually formed a long, dense dragon that lasted several miles...
The Greeks turned the mountain beam and followed the descending mountain road to the east, and ran for about ten miles. The soldiers were a little out of breath. Looking back, the Lucarias were still behind. .
At this time, the Greeks left the mountain road and approached the Tino River... Then, they ran down the gentle **** and came to the large river beach area on the opposite bank of the famous hot spring swamp: Although the soil is moist and soft, it will take a piece of it with one foot. Soil, but the terrain is flat. Compared with the bumpy and rocky mountain trails, it is more labor-saving, easier and faster to run. Of course the Lucarias followed down the river beach, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with the Greeks...
"Brothers, hold on for a while, soon...I will be here soon!" Felicius, who ran in front, breathed out and cheered the soldiers around with a hoarse voice. In fact, he was cheering himself up as a A veteran over forty years old, this long-distance run almost exhausted all his energy.
The Greeks finished the river beach and climbed over the gentle hillside. The Lucanians followed closely. However, when they were about to set foot on the top of the slope, they suddenly found that rows of heavily armed Greek infantry were already lined up. A good battle, ushered up.
"There is an ambush--" Before the soldier in the front shouted, the Greek army pierced his chest with a spear.
The exhausted Lucanian soldiers who had run away completely lost their dodge ability. Under the constant stabbing of countless lances by the Greek heavy infantry, they rolled down like dumplings, and more The soldiers in the back do not know the situation in front, they are still running forward...
At this moment, behind the Tarantum reinforcements who were in charge of the frontal interception, the soldiers of the Davos mercenary who were just in charge of seducing the enemy were eating fairly warm bread and drinking hot water, and The women and slaves of the heavy barracks brought new bucklers, stabbing guns, and swords to quickly equip each soldier. The mercenaries knew that their time was tight, and they had to fill up the water as quickly as possible, and then rush forward as quickly as possible to complete the finishing work of the encirclement.
Meercis also knows that his time is very tight. After completing the supplement to the mercenaries, he will bring the guards, slaves, slaves of the city of Turri, and dozens A mercenary soldier who served as the captain of the slave soldiers and was in charge of commanding them, totaling about 1,000 people, including more than a dozen pack wagons, rushed to the narrow place in front of the mountain road to establish a defensive line to block the Lucanian coalition forces. reinforce.
Drax, Adrianx, and Sesta led about 1,500 mercenaries, but they were lying in ambush on the side of the two-mile long river beach, and their front lines were relatively weak. Fortunately, behind them there were about 700 light shield soldiers and light infantry on the offensive line, and 700 armed mine slaves. Between the two teams is Daves and his guard.
"Leader!" Assistus came on horseback and said excitedly: "Our team has already begun to move quickly to the west mountain road!"
Davers nodded and tried to suppress the excitement and tension in his heart: The start of the lure operation can be said to be very effective. Look at the densely packed enemies below. The minimum estimate is eight or nine thousand people, and half of the Lukanian tribe's coalition army. A large number of troops are concentrated here. Excluding the soldiers who suffered yesterday’s casualties, the enemy’s camp is estimated to be no more than 5,000 people. Annihilating the enemy in front of them, the Lukarias are no longer able to go to the Subari Plain to make waves. They should take advantage of the river beach. When the enemy organization is in chaos, launch an attack and take it down as soon as possible.
"Light infantry attack!" Daves decisively issued an order.
After Epithenis and Spitt got the order, they led the light shields through the mercenaries in front, and Alpunes ordered the slingers and archers to start loading ammunition...
The front is blocked, and the Lucanian fighters in the back are still rushing because of inertia. Soon, countless Lucaria warriors crowded together. Hedgehogs gathered under this big river beach about half a mile wide and more than two miles long. Many people had already sensed that the situation was not right, and they were yelling to each other anxiously. Shout...
At this time, countless Greek soldiers appeared on the side slope.
"There are enemies!"
"We are in an ambush!"
……
Along with the panic shouts of the soldiers, javelins, arrows, and flying stones poured down...
The soldiers are so crowded, and in order to facilitate the pursuit, most people have thrown away their shields, helmets, and some even pulled out their breastplates. In the absence of protection, the mercenary’s light infantry No need to aim, every javelin, every stone, every arrow can easily hit the target.
"Retreat!" The companions next to him screamed and fell down one by one. The frightened fighters wanted to escape, but in the crowded and small space, some 9,000 people were avoiding the arrow flying stone. , Some want to retreat, some want to angrily kill the Greeks in front of them and kill them... Everyone has his own ideas, and dashes everywhere like headless flies, but they mess up the whole team. Without organization, it is quite difficult to complete a smooth retreat. On the contrary, it is more likely to cause trampling disasters. In the face of death, the terrified warriors unconsciously knocked down the clansmen in front of them, and died silently at the feet of countless people in an instant...
The leaders and warriors of all tribes were very anxious seeing this situation. However, in the turbulent and noisy crowd, any shouting and obstruction were in vain, but the trumpeters of the coalition forces were far behind the team and could not be trusted.
"Kill out! Follow me out!..." Sevilla relied on his strong body, squeezed away the panicked tribe, held a spear, kept roaring, eyes wide open, and charged towards the gentle **** on the side of the river beach. Go...
His pioneering adventure attracted the attention of both parties and reminded the warriors who were in a panic while avoiding the rain of arrows. Some warriors began to follow him, braving the enemy's long-range attack, and running up the gentle slope.
Zipite drew a javelin, wrapped a thin strip of cloth around the middle of the gun barrel, and put the leather loop on the other end of the finger, unfolding his body, like a full-stringed bow, staring at the distance from him. Sevilla, the closer, stood still. When he saw that Severa used a buckler to fend off a javelin thrown by a light shield soldier, and slipped because of too much force, he suddenly threw the javelin at Severa, with a cloth strip in his apron. Pulling the javelin along the way makes the javelin spin while carrying strong kinetic energy, and in the blink of an eye, it accurately penetrates the linen breastplate that Severa is wearing.
