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

Along with the roar of the soldiers of the Dionian Legion, nearly 20,000 javelins were thrown out, covering the sky and the sun. The charge of the Spartan coalition soldiers stopped instantly, followed by continuous screams.

The undecided Spartan soldiers had just removed their bucklers, and were shocked to find that countless javelins had come.

Although Agsilaust reminded the mercenary generals before the battle to be careful that the heavy infantry of the Dionian Legion would throw javelins when approaching, they never had experience in fighting against the Dionian. The mercenaries are still not prepared.

While the front formation of the Spartan army was disrupted by the javelin rain, the Legionnaires chanted Hades and launched an assault. The four-mile-long Dionian army was overwhelming. The crashed into the Spartan coalition forces.

The soldiers of the Sixth Legion were suffocating because they heard from the team officers that the commander asked the Fourth Army to fight the Spartans on the right flank, and the First Army was the focus of the attack on the left flank. The Sixth Army was only constrained in the middle.

Why can our Sixth Army only do containment? ! ... the soldiers vowed to let the young prince see how powerful the Sixth Legion was, so they roared and poured their whole body power on the long shield of their left hand, and slammed into the enemy who was trying to regain their formation, the stab of the right hand. The gun lightning generally passes through the cracks opened, and accurately pierces the enemy hiding behind the buckler......

The unreserved full-scale offensive of the Sixth Army soldiers from the beginning made the Spartan Army's front line, which was disorganized due to the javelin attack, even more chaotic.

The soldiers of the Fourth Legion had reservations about their charge because their opponents were well-known Spartans, and they had to be prepared. But when they rushed to the front and started fighting, the Spartans' counterattack was not sharp, and they also appeared passive under the swift attack of the soldiers. Although this made the soldiers relieved, they were a little disappointed in their hearts.

On the left flank, the soldiers of the First Legion shoulder the important task of winning the battle, and they are also attacking with full force. However, the mercenaries who have just been attacked by the javelin rain have slowed their backs in a relatively tacit understanding and greatly eased the attack. The charge of the soldiers of the First Legion, and their strong defenses from time to time, caused some casualties to the soldiers at the front of the First Legion, forcing the soldiers to stop advancing and begin to fight with the enemy patiently.

In general, the Dionian army relied on the light infantry's long-range attack and the heavy infantry's javelin strike, and took the lead from the beginning, making the Spartan army seem a little passive in the frontal confrontation.

But Agsilius had expected to thicken the columns of the left and center lines before the war, relying on a stronger pushing force to withstand the impact of the legionaries, and gradually stabilize the battle. .

When the battle between the two sides returned to a balance of power, the scouts rushed back to the command center and reported to Cloto Kataks that the cavalry on both sides had defeated the Spartan cavalry and were pursuing them. .

Clotokatax finally showed a smile on his nervous face. Although he knew that even if the cavalry were to win, the number of cavalry would not be very useful for a battle of tens of thousands of people. But it bodes well after all.

He was about to say something to Plintors to relieve the tension in his heart. Suddenly he heard a faint bugle sound, and he was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong.

But the sound of the trumpet continued, becoming clearer and clearer.

He subconsciously looked around the battlefield filled with morning mist and noisy, unable to distinguish the source of the trumpet for a while.

At this time, Plintors had already issued an order to Mucru with a serious expression: "This is not our bugle! You immediately send out a few staff officers and scatter around to find out the bugle as soon as possible. Source!"

"Yes!" Mukru also realized the seriousness of the problem and rushed to perform the task immediately.

"Master Priintoles, will it be the Spartans' reinforcements coming?!" Cloto Kataks asked very worriedly.

Plintors turned around, pointed to the rear, calmly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if Spartan's reinforcements come, we can defeat him!"

There is also a large phalanx at the rear and on both sides of the command center, including not only the 3,000 heavy infantry of the 7th Army, but also the three light armoured brigade and the mountain reconnaissance brigade of the other corps, totaling 7,000. , Plintors used 1/4 of the entire army as a reserve team. This decision was indeed too bold, but now it gave Croto Kataks confidence.

Not long after the staff set out, the scouts returned: "Commander, about four to five thousand soldiers rushed out of Taga City, blowing their bugles all the time, marching toward the battlefield!"

"It's the bugle played by the Taga!" Cloto Kataks suddenly realized.

"We saved Taigeya, but the Taigeya didn't send anyone out to contact us. They thanked us. The battle started for a while before they sent troops out..." Mukru complained softly.

"The Taigeyas were attacked by the Spartan army before, and they should have lost a lot of money. Moreover, such a large-scale battle took place at their doorstep. It is understandable to remain vigilant..." Crotocata Kesi also thought about the Taigeya, explained a few words, and then said excitedly: "Now they not only participated in the battle, but also sent so many soldiers, this will definitely help us to win as soon as possible!"

"Bring the map of the battle at this moment!" Plintors said.

A staff officer immediately handed him a wooden board, which was a brief battlefield situation map drawn based on various battlefield information previously discovered by Chastity.

Plintors took a look, and immediately his face sank: "Our cavalry has defeated the Spartan cavalry, you have not corrected it in time!"

"It's...not too late."

"The battlefield information changes rapidly, and once it is slow, it will be slow again and again. How can we give the commander a good support!" Plintors severely criticized.

"My lord, I was wrong, I'll change it right away!" The staff officer lowered his head and wanted to get back the plank in shame.

Plintors didn't give it to him right away. Instead, holding a wooden plank, he asked the scout in a deep voice: "Where is Tagya's army?"

Today’s Dionian scouts are all specially trained. They not only have good riding skills, a strong sense of direction, sharp eyesight, good at observing and estimating the number of troops, but also good at drawing and drawing... so he just Glancing at the wooden board, he pressed his finger up without hesitation: "They are here!"

Plintors took a closer look: Taga's army was behind the left flank of the Dionian Army, not far to the south of Taga City.

"His Royal Highness, we should immediately send someone to inform the Tagaians to go around the back of the Spartan army and attack Spartan's right flank." Printoles turned towards Clotocata. X suggested, making gestures on the board.

Klotokatax understood immediately. He looked around and said: "In order to show respect to the Taigeya, Mukru, please go and run."

"Yes."

"Wait! Let the guide of Mandinia named Carrizenos go with you, so that it will be easier to communicate with the Tagaians."

It should be said that Cloto Kataks was very thoughtful, and Mukru gladly took his orders.

Plintors looked to the north thoughtfully, because the dust and fog obstructed his vision, he could not see the Taigeya army two miles away.

He felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't remember where the uneasiness came from.

Agsilius also heard the bugle that kept ringing. He stood up again and looked to the north. Waves finally appeared on the face of Gujing Wubo: "The Taigeya finally Come out, our soldiers should also take action."

Since the battle, Max, who is at the forefront of the army, is more and more surprised. The soldiers under him have tried their best, but the enemy on the opposite side not only does not fall into the wind, but also through the narrow eyes of the Corinth helmet, he Can feel the indifference and bloodthirsty revealed in those sharp eyes, it seems that they still have more energy.

Where did the Spartans recruit these soldiers? so smart! ...Max realized that the First Army would go through a tough battle.

At this moment, he heard a roar from the opposite side, and the roar became louder and louder, he subconsciously pulled the long shield tightly, and the soldiers under his opponent shouted: "Pay attention to defense! Pay attention to defense!..."

But what happened next was completely beyond his expectation. The enemies on the opposite side turned around and fled amidst the roar.

Although the front-line soldiers of the First Army were a little dazed, they immediately cheered and pursued.

……………………………………………………

Just as Mukru left on horseback, the rear command center of the Dionian army received good news: The Spartan Army was defeated on the right flank, and the First Army was pursuing it.

"Great! The First Legion deserves to be the strongest legion in the kingdom. It seems that we have already won this battle!" Cloto Catxton was so excited that his anxiety and worries had already disappeared. Without a trace, he even suggested: "Master Printoles, do you want to send out all the reserve teams? Otherwise, the battle will be over if they haven't made any achievements."

But instead of being happy, Plintors was a little confused: "Strange! According to the previous report from the Scout, Spartan’s right-wing defense is tenacious, and the First Army has not taken advantage of anything, and there is no sign of the situation. Why are they suddenly defeated?"

"Do you suspect that they are bluffing?!" Croto Kataks was startled, and then shook his head: "This is impossible! In such a big battle, thousands of people bluffed at the same time, even if it was us It’s also difficult for the soldiers of the legionaries to control well. Carelessness can easily lead to the collapse of the entire formation, not to mention the improvised mercenaries."
