Chapter 129 The Battle of Tigerya (5)
When Mukuru rushed to the vicinity, he saw such a scene, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom: Oops, the Tigeras really rebelled!
The Mandinian guide Calicenos, who was next to him, was also dumbfounded: "This...this...Tigerians betrayed the Arcadia Alliance?!...General Mukru, I can swear to Zeus, We in Mandinia didn't know about it!"
Muklu's face was gloomy, and he didn't understand Karisenos's excuse. He immediately turned the horse's head, squeezed the horse's belly, and galloped towards the army command center. He wanted to quickly inform the commander of this terrible change.
Karisenos glanced angrily in the direction of Taiga City, and followed Mukru.

As a squad leader, when the fifty soldiers under him were excitedly chasing the enemy, he would try his best to control the entire squad and not let the soldiers run away.
This is the requirement of the "Dionysian Military Law". The First Corps is one of the most combat-effective legions in the Dionysian army, not only because of the soldiers' strong combat skills, but also because of their strong execution of military law. , but today it is more difficult to control the formation of the detachment in the pursuit. This is because even if the enemies in front are wearing armor and holding a shield gun, the speed of escaping is not slow, except when the soldiers were defeated at the beginning. Taking some advantage, after the distance between the two sides was quickly widened, the soldiers could not catch up with the defeated soldiers, which made the arrogant soldiers of the First Legion very unconvinced: in the annual competition of the Dionysian army, The First Corps has never fallen into the top three in the armed race, and now it can't outrun a group of mercenaries!
The soldiers tried their best to catch up, so naturally they couldn't listen to the orders of the team officers. Max's voice was almost hoarse, and he could only watch the entire team run away completely. Just then, he heard the sound of a bugle coming from behind.
He instinctively looked back, and in the dust mist, he saw those high-flying colored military flags one after another began to wave quickly from front to back.
He didn't think too much, and immediately shouted: "Stop advancing, this is the order of the Legion! Stop advancing!..."
The soldiers beside him also shouted along with him, one by one, and it didn't take long for the soldiers in front of Max to stop chasing. Although they were all gasping for breath, they all looked at the fleeing enemy ahead unwillingly.
"Assemble! Quick assembly!!..." Max hissed and shouted.
In fact, there is no need for him to work so hard, and the surrounding soldiers will automatically move towards him, and some are not even soldiers in his detachment, but the white cap tassel on the top of Max's helmet gives them a choice. This is an instinct after countless trainings.
Just as the soldiers of the First Corps were approaching the division captain and company captain,
The routed soldiers in front also stopped escaping one after another, then roared, turned around and killed again.
"Damn! They are cheating defeats!..." Max, who was at the forefront of the legion, was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him, and once again ignored the pain in his throat and shouted: "Assemble!!" At the same time, he raised the stab at the In the air, keep waving.
Dorios, a former member of the King's Guard of Sparta, the former military commander of Messenia, abandoned Messenia without fighting because of the attack of the Dionysian army, and was almost defeated by the council of elders and the inspectors. It was expelled from the mother state. Although he was eventually allowed to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, his life in Sparta was not easy after that. The Spartans who lost their Messenian land saw him and all glared at him and even shouted loudly. He was insulted, but he could only swallow his voice. He was always regarded as honor by his parents, wife and children. How could he ever suffer such insults? He didn't know how he got here in those days.
Today, he is almost 50 years old as an ordinary warrior, fighting in the first line. In the previous battles, he has been defending and trying to save his physical strength, but the fast running after that made him wearing heavy armor and heavy armor. He couldn't breathe, after all, time was not forgiving, and the Dionysian soldiers were still chasing after him. This was the first time he had met in the battles he had experienced in the past. He finally decided to give up running, stopped, and wanted to take advantage of it. He still had some physical strength and could kill one and the other, only to see the chasing soldiers behind him stopped.
This is a situation that Dorios has never seen in previous battles. When they used this tactic before, the enemy ran more and more scattered in the pursuit, and in the end, it was completely scattered, and many people even threw away their helmets. Shield, so once they counterattack, they can easily defeat the enemy.
And what he sees through the eyes of the Corinthian helmet now is: the Dionian soldiers are all well-armed and well-armored, and they are still actively retreating, trying to re-form...
Dorios was in a hurry. He must not allow the hard work of the soldiers to be in vain in the end, so he lightly rammed the surrounding soldiers with his copper shield, shouted: "Attack!!" He then held the shield gun and accelerated back.
Never let the enemy regroup! ...with this belief, he leaped up and swung the lance in his hand with all his might, stabbing the Dionian soldier who was closest to him.
The soldier quickly lifted the long shield up, and with a crisp sound of "Dang!", the gun head stuck on the ramming corner of the long shield.
Following the inertia of the forward charge, Dorios fit his body and slammed forward with the copper shield. The two shields collided and made a "bang!" sound, and the Dionian soldier was knocked back by the strong impact.
Dorios poked the lance again, and the lance stuck against the upper edge of the opponent's long shield, stabbing the enemy's exposed throat like lightning.
The soldier quickly tilted his head, stabbed the spear off his helmet, and drew a terrifying bloodstain on his face, causing him to scream in pain.
Dorios didn't swing the stab anymore. He used the round shield to push away the wounded Dionian soldier and continued to charge forward. He believed that his comrades would completely eliminate the enemy.
Just after running a few steps, a force suddenly hit the back, followed by severe pain, under the severe pain, the originally accumulated strength was rapidly lost. He staggered a few steps and looked back in amazement, only to see the Dionysian wounded soldier looking at him with a resolute expression.
Dorios slowly fell to the ground, dying with a strong dismay at failing to kill a Dionian soldier to clear his name.
When the Spartan fighters who fell behind during the swindle escape turned to attack, the fighters in front also turned to attack immediately. The time required for the entire army to change from rout to attack was very short, and there was no need to use bugles to command. , this is the tacit understanding they have cultivated from childhood to adulthood and long-term training.
The soldiers of the Dionysian First Corps at the forefront have been scattered, and faced with the surging Spartan warriors, they could not return to the team in time, but even though they knew they were outnumbered, they did not turn around and run away, but bravely The ability to block the enemy in place and gain a little time for the comrades behind is the result of long-term training by the soldiers of the Dionian Legion in accordance with military law.
The number of Max's team was less than 50 people, but the situation was critical, he could no longer wait, and immediately ordered loudly: "Turtle Formation!"
The entire phalanx of the detachment quickly formed a column of 5 people facing the attacking Spartans. The outermost soldiers raised the long shield to their chests to form a shield wall, and the soldiers inside buckled the long shield. Above the head, everyone threw away the lance and drew out the dagger, because in the narrow space enclosed by the long shield, the lance could no longer be used.
Almost all the team officers gave the same order, because the hastily formed phalanxes were far apart, and without the support of friendly troops for the time being, the Turtle Armored Array was undoubtedly the strongest in the face of encirclement.
As soon as Max's temporary detachment formed, the Spartans rushed forward. Although the Dionian formation was strange to them, they did not stop attacking: shield top, spear jab.
The two most commonly used attack methods obviously have no effect on Dionia's strange formation. Some Spartans simply hit the body directly, and the short swords of the Dionia soldiers sprang out of the shield like a poisonous snake. , stab it.
The Spartan warriors who rushed to the front had no way to take the tortoise shell for a while, and the soldiers coming in from behind forced them to stop and continue to charge forward.
It didn't take long for the entire Max platoon to be surrounded by Spartans. The Dionian soldiers in the small and crowded space could not see the situation outside, but they could hear the deafening roar of the enemy. One by one, they fought against the impact from the long shield with all their strength, and at the same time carefully avoided the late spear from the gap, and the short swords in their hands were constantly thrusting out to stab those who were too close to the shield. enemy……
These small Dionian phalanxes at the forefront are like small boats in turbulent waves, swaying left and right, and may capsize at any time. It all seemed so long.
For the team officers in each array center, the only thing they can do is to encourage the soldiers with hoarse voices: "Brothers, hold on! Our reinforcements will come soon! … "

Since the right flank of the Spartan army began to cheat, Agsilius has been in a state of tension. From time to time, he sent guards to rush forward to carefully investigate the battle situation in the middle. When he learned that the mercenaries on the right end of the middle began to retreat, and When there was some confusion, he was so angry that he cursed and even rushed over to boost his morale, but was discouraged by the guards.
Not long after, when he learned that the Spartans had stopped retreating, started to counterattack, and disrupted the Dionysian formation, he was excited again, clenched his right fist, and swung it hard: " here you go!"
