Chapter 130 The Battle of Tigerya (6)

This sentence is both a compliment to the Dionian warrior in battle, and a relief to himself.

That night, he ventured to infiltrate the city of Tygea alone, and through Pausanias summoned the city councillors who were closest to Sparta. He first told them that "the anti-Dionian coalition of the whole of Greece is about to be established and the Dionysian army will fail", and then he told them that "the Spartan army will assist them in retaking the leadership of Tygea. At the same time, he also made a promise: the Spartans will never kill a Tigean indiscriminately!

It was because of his personal risk that the councilors finally agreed to his plan, so on the second day, the Spartan army suddenly surrounded the city of Taigea. The Spartans quietly opened a city gate, causing the Spartan army to storm into the city and massacre the anti-Spartan parliamentarians.

Since Tigera has always implemented an oligarchy under the aristocracy with the support of Sparta, ordinary citizens have no power, and the pro-Spartan nobles regained power and quickly controlled the situation in the city. Also, they and the Spartan army began to play the role of defending and sieging the city, because the whole city was surrounded and blocked, even the disaffected people could not get the news out.

And considering that if this battle fails, Tygea will be retaliated by the Dionysians, so the pro-Spartans also made a promise to Agesilaus: they will send all Tygea's revenge. Citizens capable of fighting, attack the Dionians.

Now that the trap that Agesilaus deliberately set for Dionia's army has finally succeeded, he is finally relieved, and he can imagine how the next battle will develop: Dionia has run away. The left-wing soldiers, under the front and back of the Spartans and the Taiga army, will be defeated quickly, even if they have fighting strength. Then, the Spartans took advantage of the victory and swept the middle lane, and finally won the entire battle.

Agesilaus didn't take himself too long, he knew that the Dionian army liked to leave a part of the army as a reserve in battle, so he said to the messenger: "Go and inform the Thracians at once, Let them attack the flank of Dionia's right flank according to the original plan!"

Although Agesilaus firmly believed that Dionysian's left flank would be defeated by two sides before the Dionysian reserves arrived, he was more cautious and prepared to fight in Dionysian The right wing of Ya also stabbed a knife, completely disrupting the judgment of Commander Dionia. Because he had learned from the information from the Arcadians that his previous strategy had taken effect, Leoticides had been transferred, and the new commander of Dionia was actually the son of King Davos. , I heard that this young man who is regarded by Davers as the heir to the throne has no commanding experience. Facing such a complex battlefield situation, I am afraid it is difficult to make a more correct response.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and prayed to Zeus, hoping to give Sparta a great victory to reverse Sparta's current predicament.

Mukru galloped on his horse,

Halfway through the journey, I saw smoke billowing in front of me, and countless soldiers in black helmets and black armor hurried forward with shields and guns.

Muklu hurriedly pulled out of the way to get out of the way, and then accelerated towards the place where the purple-red tassel helmet was swaying. When he got closer, he saw that it was the person he was looking for. He hurriedly shouted: "Tigerti Commander of the North Army, where are you taking your troops?!"

"I'm going to lead the Seventh Army to the left wing." Tigertinos' tone was still full of resentment: "Your chief of staff suspects that the Tigera army has betrayed, let me rush to rescue the First Army immediately!"

"The Taigea army has indeed rebelled. They have already invaded the 1st Corps' formation from the rear. The situation is very critical!"

"Damn, it was really said by Printols!" Tigertinos exclaimed, and immediately doubled the volume: "Brothers, the First Legion is in danger and must be rescued by us, Let me speed up my pace, whoever runs slower will kick my ass!"

"Roar!!!..." The soldiers then shouted in unison, the footsteps were louder, and the dust mist was even bigger.

Calicenos, a Mandinglian, looked at the Dionian soldiers who were rushing past with excited expressions, and he seemed to have a little more confidence in the battle, who had lost hope for this battle.

And just when he was stunned, Muklu had left him a lot and went straight to the command center.

Seeing Klotokatax wearing a black drapey helmet from a distance, Mukru waved his hand and shouted, "His Royal Highness, the Taiga army has betrayed and attacked the First Army from the rear!"

Although he was persuaded by Printols before that Clotokatax still had a bit of luck in his heart, and now it has been confirmed, he changed color instantly and felt nervous, but he still tried his best to pretend to be calm, The trembling voice asked: "Lord Printols, thanks to your suggestion, we dispatched reinforcements in time. Do you think... our left wing can withstand it?"

In the end, Clotokatax couldn't hold back and asked his worries.

Seeing his thoughts, Plintos immediately comforted him: "Your Highness, there was a strict rule in the Dionysian Military Law, 'When chasing a routed army, heavy infantry must try their best to maintain the squad and detachment. As a model for the entire army, the First Corps has always been resolute in the implementation of military law. Even if it encounters two sides of the Spartan army in a hurry, it will definitely be able to confront the enemy with various phalanxes, not only will it not be defeated. On the contrary, our army is accustomed to fighting independently in units, and maybe it can gain an advantage in such a big melee!"

"That's good." Clotokatax was suspicious.

"Your Highness, I have another suggestion."

"Please speak."

"The Spartans set traps here to fight with us. They are well prepared, which makes us relatively passive. We cannot be led by the nose by the enemy, and we must regain the initiative on the battlefield to win the final battle." After hearing the news that the 1st Corps had been attacked from the front and back, Printols finally made up his mind to implement the plan he had been brewing, and he solemnly said in a solemn voice: "I suggest that three light armoured battalions be sent to To the north, round the left flank and attack the flank of the Spartan army, both to further rescue the 1st Army, and to eliminate as much of the Spartans themselves as possible.

There are not many young and middle-aged citizens who can fight in Sparta. For them, every one is very precious, so in the past battles they used more allied troops and mercenaries. This battle involves the rise and fall of the city-state. They only dispatched so many Spartans.

If we set out to attack its right flank with all his might, the Spartan commander would have to go all out to rescue it. After the light armour battalion is dispatched for a while, we will send the last reserve, the mountain reconnaissance battalion, to attack the left flank of the Spartan army, thus establishing the victory in one fell swoop! "

Clotokatax listened carefully, thought about it, and said firmly: "Then follow your suggestion!"

………………………………………………

The Tigeans did not expect that they would meet the Spartans so soon in the Dionian line, and in their original vision the left flank of the Dionians faced their and the Spartans' ferocious front and back. Under the flanking attack, they will soon be defeated, and then they will take advantage of the situation to chase the routed soldiers, and finally win the whole battle.

But the reality exceeded their expectations. Dionia's left wing did not collapse. Instead, it shrank into small square formations and continued to fight. At that time, they rushed into Dio, who seemed to be about to collapse. In the Nia formation, it didn't take long for him to find himself in a quagmire.

Although, like the Spartans, most of the soldiers who participated in the battle were heavy infantry, but unlike the Spartans who had been trained hard since childhood, they were better at frontal combat wearing Corinthian helmets, and in this crowded and cramped In the space, they appear too clumsy.

To make matters worse, the First Army's pursuit "routed" shortly after, but the advance quickly stopped due to the attack of the Tigers, and turned to local defense. At this time, the detachment and company of the First Army in the rear did not Running away completely, when forming a small phalanx, not only is the formation complete, but the distance between the phalanx and the phalanx is relatively close, which is the basis for the first army to display the phalanx tactics.

Although Ketisus was not decisive enough in giving orders at the beginning, he was experienced in war after all. He did not panic and hide in any square formation with his followers. Instead, he looked at the direction and led them into the rear part of the formation. In a phalanx in the center, just as the Taiga soldiers rushed in like a tide, he let the trumpeters keep blowing their bugles.

Although the phalanx soldiers of the nearby detachment could not see the surrounding situation clearly, they could hear the familiar sound of the bugle, as if the ships sailing in the dark saw the lighthouse and began to move consciously in the direction of the bugle. Although the movement of each phalanx was very slow, their concerted action made it more difficult for the Taiga soldiers crowded between the phalanxes.

It didn't take long for a bigger disaster to strike. Three thousand infantrymen of the Seventh Legion led by Tiger Tinos finally arrived, and they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Tigera soldiers.

The rear of the Taigea army is mainly composed of light armoured soldiers. They could not face the heavy infantry directly, not to mention the Dionian legionnaires who were killed like wolves. The attack line that the Seventh Legion had already launched was driven to attack the dense crowd in front, which not only made the Taiga army chaotic, but also made the already crowded space even narrower.
