"Sorry, sir!" Felicius bowed slightly to the surroundings, unable to conceal the joy on his face, and said excitedly: "I am late because I am going to receive a messenger from the Third Army in the military department. He brought good news—"

Felicius looked around the elders and said loudly: "The Third Army defeated the rebels of Picosis and Grumentum outside Grumentum! Except for a few who escaped, The army was captured, and the Third Army had only dozens of casualties. The commander of the Hieronymus Legion is leading the army to the city of Picosis. It is reported that the city is empty and it is only a matter of time before the victory of Picosis!"

Suddenly there was a boil in the venue: "Great! This is really a brilliant victory!"

"Picosis! We finally want to have a seaside city on the west coast that truly belongs to us!"

……

The veterans who were startled in cold sweat by the scene described by Pollux just now burst out with unprecedented cheers.

Polyxis stared at the cheering elders with a dumbfounded look. He hadn't recovered from this sudden reversal for a while...for a long time, he reluctantly said quietly: "...Unexpectedly, Hironimos Si can also create a great victory like Master Daves..."

"No." Felicius corrected him loudly and said: "In fact, Lord Daves planned this victory with the Third Army in advance, and also got Raos and Elijah. The help of the two allies. Otherwise, how could the victory be so easy!"

"Oh..." Kunogolata, Cornelus and the others had such expressions as they should, and then they asked interestedly about the detailed process of the battle.

Polyxis stopped talking.

…………………………

The Battle of Punat River has lasted for more than an hour, and the battle line between the two sides has changed from a straight line that was originally curved to an arc-shaped crescent.

On the right flank of the Dionian army, the team led by Trifias has almost maintained its original position. The Bruti left wing, composed of a dozen Bruti tribal warriors on the opposite side, could not effectively unite into a unified force, and continued to maintain pressure on the Dionia right-wing phalanx.

In the middle of Dionia, Vig, Ambalia and some of Cosenza's fighters attacked fiercely. After a period of stalemate, the phalanx of the First Army began to gradually retreat, causing the entire middle road to sink in. The proud First Legion soldiers did their best, but the long-term construction of the camp used them too much energy. After putting on the heavy armor, they were a little tired.

On the left flank of Dionia, the Second Army and Cosenza fighters are still fighting fiercely. The soldiers of Cosenza wash away the humiliation of the last failed siege, relying on the superhuman endurance (according to later generations, the plateau people have more red blood cells and high oxygen capacity), and they are taller than the Greeks. Physique, maintain high-intensity offense for a long time. The Second Army maintained a balance of power with solid defense and full cooperation among the brigade.

On the far left, Dionia is the only place with absolute advantage. The light shields led by Epithenis gave the Bruti cavalry damage from the beginning, and in the close fight, the Bruti cavalry suffered a lot of losses from the experienced Dionian light shields. , If this is not a battle involving Bruti’s life and death, the cavalry leader has long led the remaining cavalry to escape, but in order to prevent the Dionian light shields from being able to support other battlefields, he led his men and Dioni The sub-light shield soldiers moved away from the distance, using the speed of the cavalry to wander around the periphery, and attacked the Dionian light infantry who had left the team. But the javelins and bows of the Dionians are not vegetarian, and the number of Bruti cavalry is still declining bit by bit.

The light infantry led by Spitt encountered some troubles. Although the Bruti light infantry could not be compared with Dioria in terms of quantity or the ability of the light infantry, the angry Bruti light infantry After suffering from the enemy's hardship, he gave up the long-range attack and rushed forward to fight with Zpitt's troops with javelins and short blades.

Spit can completely retreat back and widen the distance. This is the tactics of light infantry. But Spitt, who has been following Daves for a long time in the campaign, knows well: as part of the battle of the light infantry and freedmen under his leadership, a sudden retreat will expose the flanks of Epithenis, which will cause the original to fight with the enemy. The light shields suffered huge losses. Therefore, Spitt did not retreat, biting his head and fighting with the Bruti light infantry. There were already few light shield soldiers in his hand, and the freedmen were able to cope with shooting arrows and bidding guns, and let them fight close to the fierce Bruti, and soon they could no longer support it.

Fortunately, Davers still holds a lot of cards. Hearing the news that the most left wing was in trouble, he quickly dispatched a mountain investigation brigade. These light soldiers armed with leather shields and short swords rushed all the way to the far left flank, immediately joined the battle group, and quickly turned the situation around.

In the dust and fog, a messenger cavalry rushed towards Davers behind the army formation.

Tolmeide hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Excellency Commander, Capps has sent someone to rush you. The soldiers of the First Legion can't stand it anymore. They are so tired that they can't even lift the copper shield!" After receiving the information, report to Davers in a hurry.

"It seems that the First Army has reached the limit of physical strength." Daves concluded.

"Not only the First Army, Dracos also sent someone to report that some soldiers in his Second Army were beginning to feel dizzy and weak, and they didn't even dare to order a front-to-back transition for fear of major chaos." Tolmeide reminded.

"Our soldiers have become so tired, Bruti may not be much better, no matter how strong he is." Daves stared ahead. The dust was everywhere in front of the people, the shadows were drowsy, and the killing sound shook the sky, but he seemed to see the chance of victory: "Quickly notify the two Visignian leaders, Bloom and Krem, aren't they clamoring to fight to kill the enemy? , Now the opportunity is here! I want them to lead the Bisignia fighters to the left flank immediately, attack the enemy's flank, defeat the Cosenza with the fastest attack, and show us how powerful the Bisignia fighters are!"

"Yes!" Tolmid answered excitedly.

"At the same time, the Ryders cavalry brigade should have enough rest. Let them go immediately to assist Epithenis and Zpitt after quickly defeating the enemy's cavalry and light infantry, turning around and heading north, crossing the battlefield. Attack the enemy's back in the middle, flanking the first legion back and forth, and defeating it in one fell swoop!" Daves clenched his right fist and waved down heavily.

"Understood, Commander!" Tolmid led the two messengers on their horses and galloped to the left. He wanted to give the order himself.

Daves turned his head and looked at the two troops on the far left, behind the phalanx, that had not participated in the battle. The distance a few miles away was nothing but a hazy shadow, and they couldn't see clearly.

After a while, Tolmead hurried back: "They have been dispatched."

"Blow the offensive horn!" Daves ordered immediately.

"Toot! Toot! Toot!..." The high-pitched bugle overwhelmed the noise of fighting and spread throughout the battlefield.

"It's the offense! Brothers hold on, our reserve team is dispatched!" Zantiparis was energetic when he heard the trumpet. Before the war, Daves told the two corps leaders of his battle plan, and the two corps leaders communicated Daves’ tactical intentions to their commanders, company captains, and detachment captains. Therefore, they were so passive. Under the circumstances, the defense line of the First and Second Army can still hold on, because the team officers have a bottom in their hearts, and now they finally look forward to the sound of the offensive.

"Beat the drum! Beat the drum!" Zantiparis gave the command loudly in a voice that had already been screamed.

The drum sounded, and the military flag pointed forward. Although the soldiers were exhausted, their spirits were lifted up.

All the captains of the First and Second Army Corps did almost the same thing as Zantiparis.

…………………………

When the bugle sounded into Pi'anlun’s ears, he was in Bruti’s right-wing formation, following the soldiers struggling forward. Although every step was very difficult, the Cosenza soldiers were go ahead.

The Dionians are dying! Such a thought flashed through Pi Anlun's heart. Although he was a little tired, his desire for victory made him work harder. At this moment, Dionia's bugle shocked his heart: Does the enemy have reinforcements coming?

A sense of urgency surged in his mind. He couldn't understand the whole situation in the formation, so he could only step up to defeat the enemy in front of him: "Brutus' children and grandchildren, work harder! The enemy is about to die!..." He Shouting, the surrounding guards followed, infecting other fighters...The Cosenza fighters used their remaining strength to attack desperately. ,

But the defense of the Second Army is also greatly enhanced, but the Brute’s advancement in the center and right wing is more difficult than before.

Under the leadership of Bloom and Kleiro, more than two thousand Visignian fighters who have been holding back for more than an hour and have nowhere to vent their energy rushed all the way, bypassing the outside of the two military formations, roaring, Fiercely rushed to the rear of the Bruti's right flank.

The sky-shaking screams and rumbling footsteps made the Kosenza warriors look back in a hurry, and then they saw countless brutish warriors who dressed similarly to them, wielding spears, and slaying them viciously. Come.

"It's Bisignians! We are surrounded!!..." The Cosenza warrior turned hurriedly to resist.

At this time, the Ryders cavalry brigade easily defeated the Bruti cavalry and light infantry who were struggling to support it. Just as the cavalry brigade, reconnaissance brigade, and light infantry gave up chasing the rover, they were violent. Marching north, preparing to pass through the rear of the enemy's right flank and attack the back of the Bruti Army's center, the exhausted Cosenza fighters began to break apart after being fiercely attacked by the Bisignans from the rear...
