Daves placed the Allied and Legion Reserves on the right flank, the First Legion was in the middle, and the Second Legion, which had no physical exertion, was on the left. He also wanted to use the strongest force to break through from the outside and finally realize the envelope of the enemy. the goal of.

After getting the bottom of his heart, Daves said to Leides: "The cavalry brigade has worked hard! Let the brothers withdraw to the rear and have a good rest!"

When Ryder heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master Daves, the enemy has five or six hundred cavalry on the right flank. We retreat to the back, who will deal with them?"

"They have someone to deal with, and you cavalry must give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical time! Before that, let your men recover their physical strength and horsepower!" Daves explained unmovedly road.

Leides resignedly stepped back.

Daves immediately asked Tormid to call Epithenis and Spite, and said solemnly: "When the enemy is attacking, I want you to lead the light infantry and freemen to strike the enemy's right flank from a distance. At the same time, we must repel enemy cavalry and light infantry attacks. This task is more difficult, can you do it?"

"In Persia, we fought the Persian cavalry and archers many times and defeated them many times. Will the Bruti cavalry be stronger than the Persian cavalry!" Epithenis said confidently.

"Hades will protect us!" Spitt chanted religiously.

Davos looked at the two men with firm eyes, and gave them a solemn and powerful military salute: "I am waiting for the news of your victory!"

Send off the two. Davers' deployment for the battle has been fully implemented, waiting for the Brute to attack.

At this moment, Martius and Bajilippi's nephew Rodom came over and asked him for instructions: "My lord, the leaders of Visignia, Briem and Krelu insist on seeing you!"

Daves looked back and saw that the two Visignian leaders who were stopped by the guards were yelling, and immediately dismounted and rushed over.

"The Archon of Dionia, we Bisignians strongly demand to go to the front to meet the enemy, instead of hiding behind like a coward. This is a humiliation to our soldiers!" Bream was emotionally excited. Shouted.

Humiliated? After listening to Adpiejis's translation, Daves glanced suspiciously at the Herald Tolmeide who was following him.

Tolmead hurriedly explained: "I have patiently spoken to Chief Bream many times, but he seems unwilling to accept the idea of ​​being a reserve team..."

After listening to Daves, his expression immediately became serious, and he said in a cold voice: "Since the Visignian fighters are already Dionians, they must know that the Dionian soldiers must unconditionally obey the orders of their superiors. , If you can’t do it, please take your troops and leave! Let our true Dionian soldiers enjoy the glory of victory alone! That’s it!” After speaking, he threw a word to Adpiguis: “Tru the original Translation!" Then turned and left.

Tolmeide followed, turning around from time to time, only to see Bream and Clayrou leaving in anguish.

"My lord, don't you say that you are not afraid of the Bisignians leaving in anger?" Tolmid said with some worry.

Davers smiled: "The more you explain to some stubborn people, the more he asks for more. It's better to cut off his idea at the beginning! Besides, even if the Bisignians leave, they won’t Affect our victory!"

Tolmid was suspicious, and secretly sent a messenger to observe the movements of the Visignia team. It turned out that after Bream had returned, he obediently led the team to wait in the rear without making trouble or shouting. He was secretly ashamed: and Many mercenary leaders who have dealt with them for more than ten years do not have as much understanding of human nature as a 20-year-old youth. Only the "favorite" can really explain it.

Due to the harassment of the Dionian cavalry, it was almost the afternoon when the Bruti's formation was over. Pi Anren saw that the soldiers' expressions were no longer as excited as they were at the beginning, and he was a little anxious. He knows his people too well, the Bruti, a race that lives in the gap between the Greeks and the Lucanians. These warriors who live freely in the mountains and plateaus are brave but timid. , There is passion but low self-esteem, the key is to inspire their fighting spirit.

So, he led the guards galloping out and came to the front of the center of the array. The guards attracted the attention of thousands of soldiers with neat shouts, and he shouted: "The Bruti , My dear compatriots! For hundreds of years, we have lived freely on this beautiful plateau, Amara nurtured us with her sweet sex, Brutus gave us peace. And now our peace Broken! Our land is invaded! Who is occupying our town! Massacre our people!"

"Dionians!!!"

"Damn Greek!!!"

……

The soldiers began to respond angrily.

"Are we going to allow these evil aliens to occupy our land, destroy our temples, abuse our women, turn our children and grandchildren into slaves, lose their freedom, and live like cows and sheep!!" Pi Anlun and the guard asked loudly.

"No!" The soldiers in front of him responded angrily, and this response gradually spread throughout the array.

"No!!!" 20,000 Bruti soldiers shouted in unison.

"Defeat the Dionians and return us to freedom!" Pi Anlun raised his spear high.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!!!"

Thousands of soldiers shouted hysterically.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!..." They kept pounding the ground with their spears, and their fighting spirit rose sharply.

Affected by this, Pi Anlun also felt passionate. Facing the soldiers who could not bear it, he pointed his spear forward and said loudly: "Offensive!"

The trumpeter behind him blew his horns, followed by the sound of horns from all over the army at the same time.

"Woo!!!..." The Battle of Purnat, which decided the ownership of the Bruti area, began.

…………………………

Hearing thunderous roars on the other side, Tolmead couldn't help but ask: "Master Daves, the Bruty people are boosting morale, shouldn't you..."

"In a boxing match, it’s not whoever has a loud voice can win. Those who win are often calm players. What's more, what the soldiers need now is to block the enemy’s attack first. The useless yelling will not only consume them less. Stamina, and it will make them lose their defensive position because they are too excited." Daves stared at the front and said in his mouth.

Tolmeide nodded convincingly.

"The Bruti attacked and sounded the defensive bugle!" Daves heard the sound of the horn on the opposite side and began to order, and at the same time led the guards quickly through the gap of the small phalanx to the rear of the array .

A dozen curved copper horns gave out low commands. The soldiers who were sitting and resting immediately took up their gun shields, stood up, and moved their somewhat sore hands and feet. The teammates moved closer to each other and arranged a somewhat loose array. Get closer to meet the upcoming battle.

The small phalanx at the forefront of the entire formation began to quickly connect to each other. The center and left wing of the Dionian Army soon became a whole with the right wing of the coalition army.

Epiteans and Spite led a total of 4,000 light infantry and freemen, walking from the outer left to the left front. They have their own division of labor: after Spite led more than 2500 people to march forward 50 meters, they stopped, and the slingers, archers, and a few javelinmen lined up; while Epithenis brought nearly a thousand light The shield soldier and the javelinman continued to walk to the outside of the left wing, and as they walked, they became an elongated column, almost out of the battlefield.

Amid the sound of the horn, the long line of the Brutis stretched for nearly eight miles without leaving any reserve forces, and they moved forward slowly.

The Brutis evenly distribute their light infantry in the forefront of the army. Among the light infantry, archers account for the vast majority of the Bruti Mountains, which are densely forested and dense, and there are many beasts, so they are rich in archers. The light infantry is followed by the infantry, mostly shield spearmen armed with leather shields and spears. On the far right, there are 600 unarmored cavalry. Although the Bruti occupy the entire plateau, they use this precious land mainly for herding cattle and sheep to raise a large population. Although they also raise some horses, they mainly There are not many people who really own war horses, and they are mainly concentrated in the tribal nobles. 600 rides are almost the largest number that the Bruti can gather.

As soon as the Bruti walked down the grassy slope, the right flank was baptized by the Dionian slingers and flying stones. The infantry continued to advance slowly, still far from the Dionian array. They cannot charge prematurely. But the Bruti light infantry has begun to fly, and their responsibility is to clear the obstacles for the main force to fight.

The Bruti cavalry on the far right has already begun to accelerate. At the beginning of the battle, according to tradition, the cavalry on the two wings always fight first, because they are the fastest. The previous harassment of the Dionian cavalry could be said to have given them a slap in the face, and now they are going to fight back.

The cavalry shook the horse's reins and clamped the horse's belly repeatedly, so that the speed of the horse had been raised, and the feeling of speeding galloping made them excited. They clearly saw the enemy's cavalry just 300 meters away from the light infantry. .

First rush to disperse the light infantry in front, and then attack these stationary enemy horses. The chance of winning is quite large. The cavalry leader charging at the forefront was calculating in his mind. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a few dozen meters away on the right. I don't know when a lot of figures appeared, and they quickly ran towards the cavalry.

The leader immediately felt uneasy. Before he could respond, countless javelins leaped 30 meters and landed in the cavalry group of Mercedes-Benz.

In an instant, the person was called Ma Si. In the fast running, whether it is a man or a horse, once the shot rolls to the ground, it is not only difficult to survive, but it will also affect the cavalry that charges around.

Epiteans knew too much about the cavalry. Instead of confronting the cavalry from the front, he pretended to leave the battlefield. In fact, he was prepared to strike the cavalry from the outside.
