lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

These words are both complimenting the Dionian warrior in battle, and comforting himself.

That night, he ventured to sneak into Taga City alone, and through Pausanias, he gathered the councillors closest to Sparta in the city. He first told them that "the entire Greek anti-Dionian coalition is about to be established and that the Dionian army will fail", and then told them that "the Spartan army will help them regain the leadership of Tygona." At the same time, he also made a promise: Spartans will never kill a Taga citizen indiscriminately!

Because of his personal risk, the councillors finally agreed to his plan, so on the second day, the Spartan army suddenly surrounded the city of Taga At that time, the pro-Spartan faction quietly opened a city gate, causing the Spartan army to rush into the city and massacre the anti-Spartan congressmen.

Because Taigeya has always implemented an oligarchy under the support of Sparta, ordinary citizens have no power, and the pro-Spartan nobles regained power and soon controlled the situation in the city. In addition, they began to play the role of defending and siege of the city with the Spartan army. Because the entire city was surrounded and blocked, even dissatisfied people could not pass the news.

Furthermore, considering that if this battle fails, Taga will be retaliated by the Dionians, so the pro-Spartans also made a promise to Agsilius: they will send Taga All the able citizens of Asia launched an offensive against the Dionians.

Now that the trap set by Agsilus deliberately for the Dionian army has finally succeeded, he is finally relieved. He can imagine how the next battle will develop: Dionian has already The left-wing soldiers who ran away were under the attack of the Spartan warriors and the Taga army. Then, the Spartan fighters took the victory and swept through the middle, finally winning the entire battle.

Agsilius did not indulge himself for too long. He knew very well that the Dionian army liked to leave a part of the army in preparation for the battle, so he immediately said to the messenger: "Immediately notify those mines. People of Sri Lanka, let them attack the flank of Dionia's right wing according to the original plan!"

Although Agsilius firmly believes that the left wing of Dionia will be defeated by two sides before the reserve forces of Dionia arrive, but he is still more cautious and prepares to Dionia's right wing also stabbed, completely disrupting Commander Dionia's judgment. Because he has learned from the information sent by the Arcadians that his previous plan has taken effect, Leotichides has been transferred, and the new commander of Dionia is still the son of King Davos. , I heard that this young man regarded as the heir to the throne by Daves has no command experience. Facing such a complicated battlefield situation, I am afraid it is difficult to make a more correct response.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and prayed to Zeus, hoping to give Sparta a big victory to reverse Sparta's current predicament.

Mukru rode his horse and ran wildly. Halfway through the journey, he saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him. Countless soldiers in black helmets and guns rushed towards him with shields and guns.

Mukru hurriedly pulled out his horse to get out of the way, and then rushed towards the place where the purple red hat and tasseled helmet was faintly shaking in front of him. He rushed to the front to see that it was the person who was looking for it. He hurriedly shouted: " Commander of the Taginos Legion, where are you going to take your troops?!"

"I'm going to lead the 7th Army to the left." Taginos's tone was still uncomfortable: "Your Chief of Staff suspects that the Taga Army has rebelled. Let me rush to rescue the First Army immediately. !"

"The Taigeya army has indeed rebelled. They have infiltrated the 1st Army's array from the rear. The situation is very critical!"

"Damn it, I was right by Plintors!" Taginos exclaimed, and immediately doubled the volume: "Brothers, the First Legion is in danger, you must rely on it. We rescue, and all give me speed up, whoever runs slower, I kick someone in the ass!"

"Roar!!!..." The soldiers shouted in unison, the sound of footsteps louder, and the thicker dust mist.

Karizenos, a Mandinlian, looked at the Dionian soldiers who were excited and passing by, and he seemed to have no hope for this battle. A little confidence.

And just when he was stunned, Mukru had already thrown him off a lot, and went straight to the command center.

Looking at Klotokataks wearing a black draped cap and tasseled helmet from a distance, Mukru waved and shouted: "His Royal Highness, the Taigeya army has rebelled and attacked the First Army from the rear! "

Although he was persuaded by Plintors before, Cloto Kataks still had a fluke in his heart. Now it is confirmed that he changed color in an instant and felt nervous and uneasy, but he still tried his best to pretend to be calm. , Asked in a trembling voice: "Master Priintoles, thanks to your suggestion, we dispatched reinforcements in time. Do you think... our left wing can withstand it?"

In the end, Croto Kataks still couldn't hold back, and asked about his concerns.

Plintors saw his thoughts and immediately comforted: "His Royal Highness, the "Dionian Military Law" once had strict regulations,'When chasing a ruined army, heavy infantry must try their best to maintain the team and The formation of the squadron must not be scattered'. As a model for the entire army, the First Army has always been resolute in executing military laws. Even if it is hurriedly encountered by the Spartan army from both sides, it will inevitably be able to fight the enemy with each phalanx. It will not be defeated. On the contrary, our army is accustomed to fighting independently in units. Maybe it can have an advantage in such a big melee!"

"That's good." Croto Kataks was skeptical.

"Your Highness, I have one more suggestion."

"Please tell me."

"The Spartans set traps here to fight with us. They are fully prepared and make us more passive. We cannot be led by the enemy. We must regain the initiative on the battlefield to win the final battle. "After confirming the news that the First Army had been flanked back and forth, Plintors finally made up his mind to implement the plan he had been brewing just now. He solemnly said with a solemn expression: "I suggest that the three light The Jiabing Brigade was sent to the north, bypassing the left flank, and attacking the flank of the Spartan army. This was done not only to further rescue the First Army, but also to eliminate Spartan’s own forces as much as possible.

There are not too many young and middle-aged citizens who can fight in Spartan. To them, each one is precious. Therefore, in previous battles, they used more allied troops and mercenaries. This time the battle involved After the rise and fall of the city, they dispatched so many Spartans.

If we pose to attack its right flank with all its strength, the Spartan commander will surely carry out the rescue with all its strength. After the light armoured brigade is dispatched for a while, we will send the last reserve team, the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, to attack the left flank of the Spartan army, thus establishing the victory in one fell swoop! "

Klotokatax listened carefully, thought about it, and said firmly: "Then follow your suggestions!"

……………………………………………………

The Tygonians did not expect that they would join the Spartan warriors in the Dionian array so soon. In their original vision, the Dionians’ left wing was facing them and the Spartan warriors. Under the fierce front and back attack, they would soon be defeated, and then they took advantage of the situation to chase the defeated soldiers, and finally won the victory of the entire battle.

But the reality was beyond their expectations. Dionia's left wing did not collapse. Instead, it shrank into a small phalanx and continued to fight. At the time, they rushed in without thinking about it, and seemed to be about to collapse. In the Dionia formation, it didn't take long to find that he seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.

Although, like the Spartans, most of the soldiers who participated in the war were heavy infantry soldiers, but unlike the Spartans who had been trained hard since they were young, they were better at frontal combat while wearing Corinthian helmets. In this crowded and small space, they seem too clumsy.

The worse situation is that the First Army chased "It didn't take long for the defeated soldiers to stop advancing quickly because of the attack of the Taigeya, and turned to defense on the spot. At this time, the unit of the First Army in the rear, The company did not run away completely. When forming a small phalanx, not only was the establishment complete, but also the distance between the phalanx and the phalanx was relatively close. This provided the basis for the First Corps to use the phalanx tactics of the detachment.

Although Ketisus was not decisive enough in giving orders at the beginning, he was experienced in warfare after all. He did not panic and hide in any phalanx with his entourage. Instead, he focused on the direction and led them into the formation. In a phalanx in the middle of the rear, when the Taigeya soldiers rushed in like a tide, he made the buglers keep blowing their bugles.

Although the nearby phalanx soldiers can't see the surrounding situation clearly, they can hear the familiar bugle sound, as if ships sailing in the night seeing the lighthouse, they began to consciously begin to hear the bugle sound. Moving in the direction, although the movement of each phalanx was very slow, their consistent actions made the Taigeya soldiers crowded between the phalanxes feel more difficult to move.

It didn't take long for a greater disaster to strike, and the 3,000 infantrymen of the Seventh Army led by Taginos finally arrived, and they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Taga soldiers.

The rear part of the Taigeya army is mainly light-armored soldiers. They could not face the heavy infantry. What's more, the soldiers of the Dionian Legion who killed like wolves and tigers were quickly defeated, but Being driven by the attack line already launched by the Seventh Army to impact the dense crowd ahead, not only made the Taigeya army chaotic, but also made the already crowded space even narrower.
