In the end, the Taigeya soldiers could not even wield their spears, but the soldiers of the First Legion, hiding behind the shield walls of the phalanx of each unit, could freely pierce out their short swords continuously, continuously. The screams made the Taigeya soldiers even more panic. When the back road was cut off, they began to desperately rush to the Spartans in front of the allies.

…………………………………………………………

The soldiers kept using their long shields to resist the impact of external forces, and constantly piercing them with their short swords, their shoulders and arms were already sore.

Max kept yelling and cheering, and his voice was almost hoarse...I don't know how long the enemy's attack on the tortoiseshell formation suddenly weakened.

Could it be that our reinforcements really came? ...Max saw hope and was overjoyed.

The soldiers peered out through the seams of the shield, vaguely seeing the Spartans retreating. They also breathed a sigh of relief temporarily and moved their sore arms slightly.

At this moment, "Peng! Peng!" heard two loud noises above the head. The soldiers in the back row who held the long shield above their heads felt like a boulder hit the surface of the shield. The whole arm of the shield was raised. They almost broke off, and they couldn't help screaming in pain.

At this moment, two figures fell from above, and while the soldiers of the Dionian Legion hadn't reacted, they pushed the soldiers next to them out.

The Dionian soldiers were all defending against attacks from the outside enemy. They didn't expect the Tortoiseshell Formation to be breached from the inside, and several soldiers were pushed out of the array unsuspectingly.

Max's eyes were about to split, and he shouted: "Tighten the formation!", while leaping at the enemy closest to him, the short sword pierced the enemy's throat, but the enemy's grim smile before his death made his heart. It's cold.

Prepared for a long time, the Spartan soldiers came from all directions, so that Max’s detachment soldiers had no time to regroup. They were shocked and had to fight separately.

It turned out that after the Spartan fighters rushed into the dispersal formation of Dionians, they found that the Dionians were not scattered. They gathered into a strange small phalanx and were stubborn. Resistance. The Spartan warriors continued to attack, still unable to break through the opponent's defense, but also caused many injuries.

The Spartans with strong tactical ability had to find another way to break the enemy. Soon they thought: The defense around these small Dionian phalanxes is very strong, but they may be above them. Breakthrough.

So the two volunteers jumped to the top of the tortoiseshell formation under the entrustment of many comrades in arms, and broke the whole formation.

In the face of the crowded Spartans, the resistance of the soldiers in the unit was quickly shattered. Max, who was pierced by his thigh and fell to the ground, did not stop fighting. He used a long shield to protect his upper body and a short sword. Cut the enemy’s feet until a lance pierced his right hand, and the short sword that had been chopped full of gaps finally slipped from his hand...

The Spartan warriors used the same method to destroy several small Dionian phalanxes at the forefront. Just as they were preparing to continue their efforts, the first warriors were frightened by the Taigeya. Not only was he unable to continue to attack the Dionian phalanx, but he was also in danger. After being unable to rebuke the frightened Taigya, they jabbed at their former ally, and the situation began to become chaotic. .

Then, not long afterwards, there was a commotion in the rear of the Spartan army. The force marching speed of the Dionian light armour was naturally faster than the heavy infantry. After the three legion light armoured battalions quickly bypassed the left flank of the entire army formation, they immediately attacked the flank of the Spartan army without any modification. The fierce attack hit the weakness of the Spartan army.

Of the 7,000 soldiers sent from the Spartan territory this time, there are only about 1,500 true Spartan fighters, more than 1,000 elderly Spartan citizens, and nearly 2,000 Piriasis. More than 2,000 black rolls. In order to ensure the smooth execution of Agsilius’ plan, Archidamus ranked the Spartan warriors at the forefront, followed by the Piriasi, and again the old Spartan warriors and the Black Laws. the mix of.

At the beginning of the battle, the mixed unit of the old Spartans and the Black Rolls did not go into the battle, but distanced themselves from the warring forces, because Agsilius was worried that they never accepted it. Black Laoshi, trained in fraud and defeat tactics, will become an obstacle instead. It was only after the Spartan fighters returned to kill that the old Spartan fighters led the Black Rolls to rush to increase the intensity and thickness of the attack, thus defeating Dionia's left wing in one fell swoop.

But the reality is that Dionia's left wing was not defeated, and the Black Rollers still followed the entire Spartan team, which happened to be the target of the attack by the Dionia Light Armored Corps.

Although the Council of the Elders has made a promise to the Black Rollers who participated in the war: after the war is won, they will become the free people of Sparta.

But the Black Laoss, who vaguely know that the Spartans are now in a difficult situation, are not really enthusiastic about it, but out of fear of the Spartans, they pretend to be more obedient and hardworking, but face The fierce attacks of the Dionian soldiers, these black Rolexes without armor protection, only wearing single clothes and holding a simple spear, began to retreat within a short period of time, and by the way, they also engulfed some of the old Si who was still fighting. Bada Warrior.

……………………………………………………

Agsilius looked forward to the news of victory from the right wing, but the guards sent out several times received the news that the Spartan fighters on the right wing were still fighting.

Agsilius knew that he already knew Dionian’s army well, but he never expected that the Dionian soldiers would be affected by Spartan’s fraudulent defeat tactics and then be attacked by both sides. , Can actually continue to fight for so long!

While he was astonished by the tenacity of the Dionian soldiers, he also regretted that what he had collected only through oral rumors was that he did not fully understand the Dionian army.

Now he has begun to stand uneasy, because he knows that if the left wing of Dionia cannot be defeated quickly, the weaknesses of the Spartan coalition forces will be exposed over time, mainly the Taga army, because Dioni The Asian army has always kept a reserve team when fighting, and they will inevitably send a reserve team to attack the Taigeya in order to achieve the purpose of rescuing the left wing.

So Agsilius quickly sent a messenger to stop the Thracians who were rushing to the south, preparing to send them to the north, bypass the Spartan army, and reinforce the Taigeya.

However, just as these thousands of Thracian light shield soldiers ran past his back, the guards who were listening for the news hurried back, hurriedly shouting: "King Agsilius, it's not good! Ours The flanks were attacked by the Dionians!!"

Agsilius was taken aback. He always thought that Commander Dionia would definitely send a reserve team to attack the nearest Taigeians at this time, so as to achieve the goal of rescuing the left wing. But at this time, Dai Onian’s army actually bypassed the left flank and attacked the flank of the Spartan army. If the Dionian commander is not dizzy, it can only show one problem. The Dionian has a considerable number of reserves. Attack both at the same time.

Agsilius was still laughing at Dionia's inexperience before, and he was easily caught in the trap. Now he has to marvel at the audacity of the opponent.

However, the situation is very critical, and he can't let him think about it. He immediately issued an order: "Hurry up and inform the Thracians, let them rush to the right flank, repel the attack of the Dionians, and protect the Spartans. The flank of the army!"

The Thracian team was not far from Agsilius, and the order was passed on quickly. However, these Thracians, who came from the north of the Macedonian territory and did not know the reputation of Agsilaus, have always been known for being brave and grumpy. They were ordered to march south in a hurry and were almost reaching their destination. , And was called back urgently to execute another order. Bai ran back and forth so that they were suffocated. Now the order has changed. Although it is still in the same direction and the distance is closer, the Thracians finally couldn't help cursing, complaining, and even their cursing. The sound reached Agsilius' ears: "Will the lame old Spartan command, give orders indiscriminately, and be dizzy!"

"I think the Spartans are not good enough. They sent an old man who was about to die as a commander!"

"Let’s just finish this battle, get a commission and leave, I don’t want to be angry anymore!"

……

If Agsilius heard these words that specifically violated his taboos, he would have been furious, but now he can only bear it, and hope that these Thracians will relieve their anger. , Can speed up.

Finally, seeing the Thracian disappear into his vision, the worry in his heart not only has not been eliminated, but has increased.

At this time, he no longer has any hope of winning this battle. He only hopes to draw with the Dionian army, and the casualties of the Spartans are not large. He has decided to change his The next battle plan: When the battle is over, he will immediately disband the mercenaries, bring the Spartan fighters back to the territory as soon as possible, defend the attack of the Dionians as long as possible, and protect the security of the Spartan territory. Thus waiting for the situation to change.

At this moment, however, a guard rushed from the south: "Nearly a thousand Dionian soldiers appeared behind the right flank, and they attacked the mercenary flank!"

Hearing this, Agsilius was hit hard, and his whole body instantly became cold.

The guard beside him saw Agsilius standing blankly like a clay sculpture, and immediately asked with concern: "King Agsilius, are you okay?!"
