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

The Tarantum reinforcements on the right wing of the Greek army were also forced to retreat. Fortunately, they had two hundred cavalry on their side. The Greek cavalry took advantage, so the retreat of the Tarantum reinforcements also went smoothly...

Only in the middle of the Xijun Road, there is a lot of loose sand and completely lost organization...

"General Ferris, we are defeated! We are defeated! What should we do? What should we do?!..." This witty and eloquent general in the city hall-Kunogola Ta was panicked at the moment.

"What else can I do!" Ferris gave a sorrowful laugh, and said regretfully: "I failed to insist on my opinion. It was my fault! I despised the enemy, it was my fault! I was stubborn and failed. It is my fault to listen to other people’s suggestions! Tury has today’s defeat, and it’s all my fault!"

He looked at the defeated soldiers running by his side, and his expression became very determined: "You go back to Turri, and let the citizens prepare for defense! And I will buy time for Turri to get Apollo Repent of my sin!" As he said, he picked up the shield gun with his dry arm, pushed aside the fleeing rout, and faced the surging enemy. The guards, slaves, and clansmen around him shouted: "Fight for Turiyi!" Hundreds of people gathered around the old general and bucked the trend. Wherever they passed, some of the Turiyi citizens were infected by it, and they stopped fleeing and joined them.

Kunogolata hesitated for a moment, and finally he ran back to flee, comforting himself as he ran: Fei Ruisi said yes, if everyone died here, who would protect Turey!

When facing the enemy, Faris led a team of up to 800 people. The veteran who was over 60 yelled: "Apollo!" took the lead to enter the enemy's line. Everyone launched a counter-charge along with it. The soldiers were not afraid of death and bravely killed the enemy, which was different from Gelu, who was distracted by the pursuit. The surprise of the Mentum fighters almost pierced their formation, forcing Grumentum to gather the fighters and besieged this small group of extremely brave and tenacious Turyi soldiers...

The most tragic scene of this battle finally came to an end. Eight hundred Turyis headed by Pharys died in battle, and none escaped.

Kunogolata wanted to hurry back to Turri as soon as possible. On the way to escape on horseback, he was nearly knocked down by the routs several times. He was worried about the safety of the city and regretted a bit: it shouldn’t have been Join this battle in order to gain prestige...

…………………………

The city of Turiyi is only five or six miles away from the battlefield. The whole city is paying attention to this battle concerning the fate of the city. Every family prays for the soldiers either at home or on the square.

When the scout fled back to the city in embarrassment, he shouted in panic: "We are defeated! We are defeated!..." When the news spread quickly throughout the city, like five thunders, it made the people feel like heaven is full. It's about to collapse: the timid fainted immediately; the suspicious thought that the scout was spreading rumors, and wanted to drag him off the horse and beat him; the pessimist declared that Turri was going to perish and let everyone flee the city quickly; the rogue was there. In desperation, I even took the opportunity to booze, fish in troubled waters, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos... The whole city, especially the square, was crying, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The two most important principals of the "Nine Generals" are on the battlefield. Fortunately, the generals have had an experience in dealing with the defeat last year. At the critical moment, several generals headed by Neonsis stepped forward and first sent patrols to maintain order in the city, and then called on the people on the square to take up arms and defend their homes, regardless of age or sex. And took the lead in leading the tribe and slaves up the city wall.

At this moment, several nobles on horseback, headed by Kunogolata, rushed across the suspension bridge and into the city.

The people who heard the news immediately surrounded them and asked about the news of their relatives. Kunogorata, who knew the emergency situation, seemed to have not heard it, and shouted anxiously: "The Lucaria is coming soon. Here it comes! Close the city gates! Close the city gates! Don’t let them in!!! Otherwise Turiyi will be over!!!"

Neonsis frowned and said, "When the gates are closed, the soldiers will not be able to enter the city!"

"Let them go around the city wall and jump into the Krati River. We will pick them up by boat! Lukanians can't swim!" Kunogolata had already thought about a countermeasure on the road.

At a time of panic crisis, Kunogolata’s appearance and his suggestions immediately gave the people a backbone. Once everyone discussed it, they thought it was feasible, so they pulled up the suspension bridge, closed the city gate, and started to run down the city. The soldiers of the army shouted: "Jump into the river, we have a boat to pick you up! Jump into the river..."

……………………………

Daves sent Asistes back to the camp first to report the battle situation. He led his troops to retreat quickly to the camp. Ryders beside him raised the flag to guide the whole army.

Picosis’s fighters had been attacked by light shield soldiers, so they moved some distance away from the mercenaries, while Grummentum was hit by Ferris’s desperate counterattack, slowing down the pursuit speed, and the mercenaries retreating. It can be said to be smooth without much risk. However, there were continual bursts of soldiers rushing into their ranks along the way, and the mercenaries unceremoniously knocked them down with their shields. However, the organized retreat of the Daves mercenaries and their fairly neat appearance naturally attracted the panicked soldiers. Even if the mercenaries treated them violently, they let them beat and scold them, and follow them obediently like a tame domestic dog. After...

When the troops passed through the city of Turiyi, Daves's team actually became a little bloated, but he didn't care. He looked at the countless soldiers gathered under the city of Turiyi in the distance, and then looked back to observe the movement of the chasing troops. , Then took the flag and handed it to Asistes, and said to Ledes: "You go to Turrii and tell the soldiers that the Lucanians will be there soon. Our camp is very strong so that they can First go to our camp to hide."

Leides took the order and left.

"The whole army goes to the right!" Daves shouted loudly, and the red battle flag waving in the wind guided the troops, not entering directly from the west gate of the camp, but turning to the south gate...

The soldiers of Picosis, led by Gnainath, are chasing after the mercenaries. Since he became a warrior, participated in dozens of battles, he has never been so useless, even almost lost his life, and these Greeks want to slip away after slaughtering his people, making him very angry. . Therefore, only this mercenary is in his eyes: catch up with it! Slaughter it! !

Even if the ruined troops under Turrii were closer to him, he dismissed it. As a result, Picosis’s team collided with the soldiers of Grumentum who were chasing Turriy ruined soldiers. When the army finally separated, the Dafus mercenary had already entered the camp.

……………………………

The generals of Tury, headed by Kunogolata, have little battlefield experience after all (the only experienced person has died in the battle), so they think the problem is simple.

Indeed, the city’s shouts caused some people to leave the gate and jump into the Krati River, but some of the soldiers were unwilling to leave. After all, the gate was right in front of them, and they were exhausted. Don't want to take a long way to jump on the icy Craty River. They begged and cursed under the city. At this point in the delay, the soldiers of Grummentum arrived. After chasing and killing, the rout soldiers could only jump if they didn't want to jump into the river, but In panic, time was rushed, and even the armor did not fade. Many people sank directly into the river and were drowned alive...

The people in the city watched the relatives in the city being killed and drowned alive, and they all cried. Some women even jumped off the wall and broke their bones to accompany their husbands who died in the war to hell...

The hideous appearance of the Lucanian warrior and this **** and tragic scene have become a nightmare that is difficult to get rid of in the life of Tury...

……………………………

The Lukanians were not able to chase in time, which made Davos breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't go directly to the west gate, but to go around the south gate because he was worried that the soldiers would be slow when entering the camp. His worries did not fail, even worse than he had imagined. Those panicked soldiers disrupted the order of the troops entering the camp.

Daves had no time to regret, so he rushed up to the wooden wall and directly commanded the soldiers to stun more than a dozen broken soldiers. This shocked such a frightened fellow and enabled the team to enter the camp smoothly.
