If you lose in battle, you will win. There is pain and joy. While the coalition soldiers tasted the bitter fruits of defeat, the Syracuse people were enjoying the joy of victory.

In the big tent of Dionysius, the candle was brightly lit, and the generals gathered together to have a meal while talking freely about today’s battle...

"Don't fight! The most important hero for our victory today should be Phoebe Das!" Dionysius sat at the top, looked around, pointed at Phoebe Das, and shouted Said: "I really didn't expect that the general of Dionia had deployed so many soldiers on their left flank. If Phoebe Das hadn't taken the correct response, I would not have waited for our reinforcements to arrive. Our right wing will be broken by the enemy!"

"My lord is right!" Fascipesas immediately echoed: "When I led the army to attack the enemy's flank, I was very surprised at the time, because the thickness of the enemy's array...some of them reached 50. Multiple columns, I’ve never seen before...the stacking length is enough...sufficient--" Facipesas couldn’t find a suitable adjective for a while, and made gestures with his hands, and said, "It’s bigger than this. Longer! But such a powerful force squeezed our right wing. Not only did it not crush the right wing, but it exhausted the enemy! So I led the soldiers in just a small charge, and the enemy was easily defeated!... "

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although Phoebe Das was a little complacent, he didn't boast about himself in public. Spartans would not do such a superficial approach. What's more, he was only fighting for the Syracuse, and it didn't make much sense whether he was honored or not. He just enjoys the fun of this kind of war, and he is at the forefront of the battlefield now that he is too tired to speak any more.

"Leptinius, this time your performance is beyond my expectation!" Dionysius stared at his brother and exclaimed in relief: "The mercenary led by Endidimenus When the attack was blocked, you did not evade, but bravely assumed the responsibility, repelled the enemy who came to intercept, and ensured the smooth attack on the right wing and rear of the enemy. We can win this battle. Don’t miss it! In addition, your fleet has boldly attacked and won the first victory after our battle-Trina!"

Dionysius praised Leptinius without hesitation, not only because of his brother's performance, but also to show those who criticized his nepotism that his strategy of employing Dionysius was correct.

"My lord, thanks to the help of General Leptinius this time!" Endimenas took the opportunity to tout Leptinius, and at the same time wanted to justify his mistake: "I didn't expect to be When the battle was so fierce, the Greeks still retained a force, and did not put it into the battle, but carried out a sudden attack on us..."

"So it is not easy for us to win this battle. The Dionian general is not easy!" Dionysius sighed, knowing that he saw his elite troops behind the mid lane array. Was beaten back by the Dionia Army. In addition, post-war statistics showed that there were more than 1,000 casualties among the soldiers in the middle, which really surprised him and made him feel bad: "It's a pity that we haven't been able to keep more Dionian soldiers..."

As soon as these words came out, the two mercenary cavalry leaders were a little ashamed, and the more outspoken Celtic leader Gaba defended with a strange Greek pronunciation: "We did our best, but those Dionis The sub-soldiers did not run away at all, but lined up to fight with us. We have lost... a lot of people..."

"Those Dionians stretched their array, guarding the river bank, and forcing us to fight them head-on. It is very difficult for the cavalry to fight the heavy infantry head-on..." Axirita also defended.

Dionysius glanced at them. He just wanted to beat and beat the two rebellious alien leaders, and didn't want to tear his face with them: "Anyway, you dragged the one of Dionia. Thousands of soldiers eventually wiped out and captured them, including a corps commander. I think this is probably the biggest military loss since the establishment of the Dionian Alliance!"

"My lord, that's because Dionia was not as old as my young son when he was founded!" Astagras, another general of Syracuse, sneered: "Next we will give them More failures, until this alliance is completely destroyed!"

Astagras's words caused everyone's laughter.

Amidst the laughter, a cold voice sounded from the seat on the left of Dionysius: "I looked at the weapons left on the battlefield among the Dionians. To be honest, I think even if again You can’t take advantage of the battle against the infantry of the Dionian Legion."

These words aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone in the account.

"Spartans, you look too high at the Dionians!" Astagras shouted unceremoniously.

"I'm telling the truth." Phoebe Das said unceremoniously, ignoring everyone's dissatisfaction.

At the same time, he strode forward, ignoring the strange gazes of others, posing a heavy infantry offensive posture, and seriously said: "According to the traditional heavy infantry fighting habit, the left-handed buckler is used for both defense and It can be used to strike; and the stabbing gun in my right hand, I can hold it high, over the buckler to stab the opponent; once the stabbing gun is broken, I draw out the curved saber to chop... However, the soldiers of the Dionian Legion The fighting method is different from ours. I brought the long shields and short swords used by the soldiers of the Dionian legion, but unfortunately they were forcibly left out of the account by the guards."

Speaking of this, Phoebe Das did not forget to ridicule Dionysius secretly, because Dionysius is good at assassinations, and he is also guarding against being assassinated by others. He has been assassinated many times in the past, so In this regard, he was very cautious. He once stipulated that anyone who wants to meet him and discuss matters with him must be searched by guards, and weapons are not allowed.

One time, another brother of his (who was sent by him to serve as the tyrant of a neighboring country) came to the palace to meet him, and when he talked about an important matter, he asked the guards for a spear and prepared to draw a map on the ground. , Dionysius was furious and immediately executed the guard.

At this time, Dionysius didn’t care about Phoebeidas’ irony. He was more interested in what he was going to say next, and graciously ordered: "Go and take Dionia’s short sword and long shield Take it in."

When the dagger and long shield were placed in front of Phoebedas, he took the long shield in his left hand and protected it in front of his chest, and explained: "The long shield of Dionia is long enough to better protect it. The soldier’s body, so the soldier does not need to devote energy to worry about defense, but can focus on **** the enemy."

Phoebedas said as he used his dagger to make a stabbing action. After a few stabs, he thrust the dagger on the wooden table and heard a "chick" sound. The tip of the sword was completely pierced. Go in.

"What a sharp dagger!" Leptinius who was sitting next to Phoebedas exclaimed. Curiously, he pulled out the dagger and looked carefully: the dagger has some blades. The small notch, the tip of the sword is also a bit curved, it can be seen that after many weapon strikes, it still makes people feel chilly.

"This dagger is too short! Before the Dionians used it to stab my soldiers, we would have pierced each other to death with a spear!" Astagras retorted forcibly.

"Yes, it is relatively short. But the Dionian soldier has this long shield to protect him, the stabbing gun may not be able to injure him, and once the two sides are pushing, the stabbing gun cannot be fired, and This kind of dagger can easily stab the opponent..." Phoebe Das was holding a long shield, and looking at the dagger in Leptinius's hand, his mood was very restless: the buckler of the Greek phalanx with a spear. After hundreds of years of inheritance, this set of heavy infantry tactics has proved to be so effective that it is difficult to match in other countries in the Mediterranean region. And a city-state alliance that has just been established for a few years can develop another set of new heavy infantry equipment and tactics in such a short period of time, and can fight against the traditional, which can not help but feel terrible!

It turned out to be because of weapons and equipment! Dionysius was a little agitated. He thought that his most elite army was not as good as Dionia's newly-built legion, and he was really hit. Now after listening to Phoebedas' analysis, he suddenly realized: As long as it is not of soldier quality Problems can be remedied.

"Phoebedas, do you think that if we encounter Dionia's legionary infantry next time, how should we respond?" Dionysius asked the Spartan humbly.

"Judging from the weapons and equipment of the Dionian soldiers, there is no advantage in the mid-range squab The shield can play the best role. This requires us to not adopt the tactics of pushing and pushing, but to leave a certain distance for the forefront soldiers, and use the dense gun array to make Dioni The runners-up infantry dare not get too close, so that the Syracuse soldiers can use their skillful stabbing techniques to gain the upper hand in the stabs of both sides..." After carefully referencing the battlefield, Phoebe Das has been thinking about how to deal with it. The impact of this new type of heavy infantry. After all, he had not actually fought face to face with the Dionia Army, just a speculation based on his years of combat experience.

But this was enough to make Dionysius breathe a sigh of relief. His opponents said: "Have you heard all of you! Next time we fight the Dionian soldiers, we will follow Phoebe Das Way to deal with them!"

Siracuse such as Facipesas and Astagras will take the lead and say yes. Of course, this is mostly a reluctance to deal with.
