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

Severa staggered back a few steps, trying to throw the spear in his hand to fight back, but his tired body was hit again, and his energy was exhausted, he collapsed, and slid down the slope...

Severa’s death did not frighten the subsequent soldiers. The belief in living gave them the courage and strength for a while. Soldiers were shot and fell, and soldiers rushed up again, seeing Luca. The Niah fighters have approached the top of the slope...

The bronze trumpet sounded in a timely and rapid manner. The light shield soldiers quickly retreated from the gap of the mercenary heavy infantry array, and the heavy infantry stepped forward to form a long and thin dense square array, standing on the top of the slope. The long steel wall destroyed the enemy’s hope of escape; and the light infantry behind them, regardless of their sore arms, continued to fire javelins, arrows, and flying stones, allowing them to pass the heavy infantry ahead in a perfect arc. Falling down on the slope, continue to kill the subsequent enemies, avoiding continuous impact; the slaves later brought in a bundle of arrows and javelins to supplement the long-range weapons consumed by the light infantry.

Dracos stood at the forefront of the line of defense. Facing the enemies who were starting to rush up the slope, not only did he not have any tension or fear, but he was full of fighting spirit: "Brothers, drive the enemy down to me!"

"Roar!!!" The soldiers were infected by him, raised their shields and spears, and roared in unison.

……………………………

As the leader of Grumentum and the leader of the Lukanian tribal coalition, Akpiru, who is over fifty years old, of course cannot be impulsively pursued like a young warrior. He does not chase him. There are four hundred Grumentum warriors who are responsible for his safety. Of course, it is impossible to leave him behind and chase him alone. In the same situation as him, Niutum and Laos, three There are about 700 soldiers in the team.

After they reunited, they moved forward at a faster speed. When they rushed to the hot spring swamp, they heard the sound of fighting and screaming in front of the sky...

The faces of the chiefs changed.

"Hurry up and rush over!" Akpiru eagerly issued an order.

The fast-moving team was confronted by the Daves mercenaries who were also rushing to complete the seal of the encirclement.

Felisius saw the enemy troops on the mountain road, and he "cocked" in his heart. Fortunately, he quickly made his own deployment: the first, second, and third companies were commanded by Capus. Block the besieged enemy; the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh companies follow him to attack the enemy in front.

At the same time, Felicius also called the messenger: "Go and inform Melses so that he can lead the slaves to come quickly!"

Akpiru saw that the Greeks dared to divide their forces when they were approaching, and he became more disturbed: If it wasn't for something more important, would these cowardly Greeks dare to do so? !

He immediately issued an order: "Give me full attack!"

The two well-armed teams, both of their own elites, collided directly without array or expansion...

…………………………

Kapus led his army to the west of the big river beach and ran into the undecided Lucalia soldier who had just climbed out of the slope.

They were hit immediately, dropping dozens of bodies and rolling down the slope. The mercenaries immediately closed the gap.

Now, to the east of the Great River Beach is the reinforcements of Tarantum; to the north are Dracos and his mercenaries, all light infantry, and slave soldiers; to the west are the heavy infantry of the Davos mercenary; To the south are the hot spring marshes flooded with spring rains and the Tino River.

More than nine thousand Lucanian tribal coalition forces were surrounded in a long, narrow and low-lying area about two miles long and a half-mile wide. The total force surrounding the side was only more than seven thousand (plus slave soldiers), and its blocking line It is weak, especially in the west. There are only 600 Davos mercenaries, almost only single infantry. The Dracos mercenaries extending to the north are connected to their arrays, like thin-skinned dumplings, at any time. There is a danger of being crushed. Fortunately, the Lucanians in the encirclement are temporarily chaotic and unorganized, ramming like headless flies, unable to form a joint force.

In Daves’s plan, the long-range firepower of light infantry is the main factor that weakens the enemy’s power, and his Persian Expeditionary Force not only plays a role in completing the encirclement, but is also his most trusted offensive force. Today, due to an accident, the force of this expeditionary force has been dispersed. After Daves learned of the emergency through the scout, although he was anxious, it was still one of the several possibilities he planned in advance. He had backup measures. .

He immediately dispatched cavalry, urged Melsis to lead his team to speed up, rush to the place where Felicius’s troops are fighting, join with Felicius, concentrate his forces, annihilate the unexpected enemy army in one fell swoop, and then rejoin To the encirclement and annihilation of the Lucarias.

Time, now is the key to Greek victory.

Akpiru also knows its importance.

Two elite troops fight in blood: one is a warrior selected from the All Lucanian Tribal Alliance, who has not undergone violent fighting, and is still strong; the other is a Greek mercenary who has expedition to Persia with experience Abundant, superb skills, but the non-stop running, so that their physical strength is extremely lacking. But the course of the battle surprised Akpiru. He originally thought that the Greeks did not form a phalanx. Such a melee should logically be the advantage of the Lucanian fighters who are used to this way of fighting. However, the Lucanian fighters gradually began to retreat...

Acpiru, standing high in the rear, observed: The Greeks often gather in groups of dozens of people (in fact, it is the unique unit of the Davos mercenary). They are not only very organized, but also flexible. The cooperation is also very tacit and more lethal. Instead, the Lucanians were cut into pieces by them, like a disc of loose sand...

This made him aware of the seriousness of the matter. He quickly dispatched a small group of fighters, ordered them to return to the camp quickly, and informed Chief Picsis to Cincinnag: Immediately lead the remaining fighters to come and help him defeat the current situation. The enemy, and then further smash the enemy's conspiracy!

The soldier who went back to report was attacked by the Ryders cavalry (Last night, Daves took the opportunity to temporarily borrow ten horses from Burkos, so that the mercenary cavalry squad could be rebuilt), due to the rugged mountain roads The unevenness made the cavalry's speed not fully utilized. Several wounded soldiers escaped from the cavalry's pursuit and ran all the way into the Lucania camp.

"Hurry...hurry up and inform Chief Sinsingnag! We are in an ambush and send reinforcements!" Under the surprised gaze of the soldiers preparing to withdraw from the camp, they eagerly shouted when they fell to the ground.

However, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers began to become a little weird.

"Oops, it's the Vigs!" The soldier who reported the news realized the difference between these people, and was startled.

But saw a man squatting down and asked in a deep voice: "What ambush?! What happened?!"

The soldier seems to remember that the speaker is a leader of Vig City called Saru...

……………………

Akpiru put Picosis and Vig in charge of the withdrawal, but Sinsingnag gave all this chore to Vig, and he, his son and several leaders were in the big tent." After the occupation of the Subari Plain, we will discuss how to protect the interests of Picosis.

The guards broke in suddenly and shouted in panic: "Big Chief, it's okay! The Vigs suddenly attacked us!"

What! ! Sinsinag was taken aback, and immediately shouted angrily: "The Vig who should be killed, don't they want to live anymore!!"

He stepped out of the military tent, and the sight in front of him was far beyond his expectations: smoke billowed everywhere in the camp, countless tents were burning in the fire, the Vigs armed with spears, divided into countless teams, chasing and killing them without defense The Picosis warriors, the Picosis fled in embarrassment...

Sincinnag’s ears were filled with the screams of the tribe, making him almost mad: "Ah!!!...I said long ago that these despicable Brutis should be killed, Akpiru is Don’t listen!...Gnaina Express! Go and organize the soldiers to fight back! Counterattack! Repel them! Kill them all! Also destroy Vig City!!!...Ah!!!..."

There is no need for him to say more, Glennart and several leaders rushed out anxiously.

But for Picosis, the situation is very bad. The Vigs came prepared, and because the Picosis suffered too many casualties yesterday (more than 1,000 people, most of them were injured), most of the soldiers stayed in the tents to take care of their comrades. The Vigs fired everywhere. Many Picosis were burned alive in tents...
