Although Cincinnager, who was behind the phalanx, could not understand the battle situation ahead in detail, it was an indisputable fact that the team was retreating. Screams kept coming. Looking at both sides, there were even soldiers in the distance began to escape... Cincinnager was anxious and angry. At this moment, he had no time to think about why such a bad situation occurred. The most urgent task was to stop the decline, otherwise the right wing would be defeated, which led to the failure of the entire Lucanian tribal coalition! Although Akpiru was a relative of marriage, Cincinnager did not think that the domineering leader Grummentum would easily forgive Picossis's actions. Now Picossis's soldiers have already fought head-on, and he can no longer command. The only one who can command is the Bruti warrior who has not yet fought.

"Go and call the people from Vig City behind to come and help! Just tell their leader that if this battle fails, the Lukari will not forgive Vig City!" Cincinnag yelled hurriedly at the guards beside him.

…………………………………………………………

"Big leader, the Lucanians are too much! It is obviously Cincinnag who thinks he can easily solve the Greeks and not let us interfere, but now he says that it is our fault if he fails!" The young Saru said angrily.

Sedolum looked at the battle situation not far away, but did not respond.

"These Greeks are so powerful. They are obviously small in number, but they are going to defeat the Lukari!" Saru looked ahead and said excitedly and hesitantly: "Big leader, the Lukari are going to be defeated! Otherwise... let's stop fighting, let's go! Maybe... maybe we can take the opportunity to break away from their alliance!"

At this time, Sedorum spoke: "Even if Lucania is defeated, how many people can they die? Do the Greeks dare to enter the mountainous areas?...Saru, as long as the Lucanians are still strong, they still have the final say in the western mountainous areas! Unless we are also a fellow disciple of Kosenza, migrating southward and forced to fight Crotone for the sake of land..." Sedorum sighed: "Order the soldiers to gather their formation and press up from the right end!"

Two thousand Brutis were wearing leather armor, holding wooden shields and spears, but they arranged a square array closer than the Lucanians. When the right end of the Picoses array was about to collapse, they attached its back array.

The collapsed Lukari people could not rush to Bruti's battle formation, but were pushed forward by them. In order to survive, most Lukari soldiers had to turn around to fight. After all, the Lukari people's array was thick, and it was panic that caused them to flee, rather than mercenaries who killed their fronts. Once reinforcements arrived, the position gradually stabilized, the mood of the defeated soldiers gradually stabilized, and the organization of the formation began to recover...

The casualties of the Lucanians are still increasing, but the mercenaries are gradually retreating... The pushing power generated by the super-thick array formed by the Lukari Gabrutis is obviously not comparable to the thin array of mercenaries. Once the gap between the two armies becomes narrow, the superb fighting skills will not play a big role. Fortunately, the experienced mercenaries take the initiative to slowly retreat to relieve the pressure exerted by the other party and maintain the resilience of the front...

Davers is not like other generals who personally entered the battle. Once the war begins, he will completely let the development of the battle situation develop. He rode on a horse, closely watching the battle progress from left to right, from right to left behind, and sending orders through the messenger at any time. Before, the right end of the Lucanian array was about to be defeated, and he was very excited. Unexpectedly, the next battle situation reversed, and the disappointment in his heart was imagined. But he did not urge the soldiers to attack again, because he knew that in addition to the arrival of the enemy reinforcements, it was also related to the physical strength of the soldiers. Such a fierce and fierce attack before certainly could not last too long. As long as it was a human, the physical strength was limited, let alone they were heavy infantry. Even at the critical moment, Davers ordered the light shield soldiers retreating to the rear to join the attack on the far right end of the enemy, but unfortunately...

If the two thousand mercenaries and two hundred cavalry were under his command, then the soldiers were already chasing the defeated army now! I just blame myself for being too confident and not pestering them, and insisting on asking Turido for some troops... As soon as a little regret came out of my heart, Davers wiped it out. Any unexpected situation in the war could happen, and the commander could not foresee it. At this moment, the only thing he could do was to keep a calm mind and try not to let excessive emotions affect his judgment.

The mercenary's front was originally an "arc" with the upturned tail end, but now it has gradually been flattened. As the phalanx moves step by step, Davers realizes that the soldiers have to compete with the enemy's powerful pushing power, while preventing the thin array from being broken, and killing the enemy as much as possible in the fight. The physical and energy consumption is quite large, and it is already very good to maintain such a situation! Unless a major accident occurs, the left wing of the Tuliyi coalition will no longer have it.

What improvements are; as for the middle lane, Asistes's return is also not optimistic, even worse than the left wing; the only advantage is the right wing, but the advantage is not great (this is the judgment made by Asistes who rode a horse to reconnaissance, based on Tarantum's front only moved forward a little). Understanding that the overall battlefield situation was unfavorable, Davers removed the remaining luck in his heart and had to consider the retreat of the troops after the defeat of the battle...

On the land ten miles of the Xubari Plain, nearly 30,000 soldiers fought for life and death here. The dust was flying, the sound of killing shook the sky, the contradictions intersected, and blood splattered... After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Greek army gradually felt dissatisfied...

The Lucanian tribal coalition has exceeded the 6,500 Turiyi coalition. According to the observations, the Lucanian cavalry of Turiyi and Davers originally estimated that there were about 13,000 Lucanians. In fact, the cunning Akpiru still hid some troops in the back mountain of the camp, and the 2,000 people in Vig City joined at the last moment, which caused the Greek army to make a mistake in judgment. Phiris's impression of the Lukari people was still a few years ago (he did not participate in the battle last year). In fact, in recent years, the Lucanians have developed rapidly, especially Grummentum, who have begun to break away from the tribal alliance and develop towards the kingdom. In the past two years of tribal annexation wars, Grummentum's soldiers have become more brave and tenacious in the frequent blood baptisms.

In the old concept of General Turiyi, as long as they fight head-on, the loosely organized Lucanians will definitely be shattered by the power of Greek heavy infantry. The facts prove how ridiculous their ideas are, especially in the middle of the Greek army, the front row of mercenaries, the middle Turiyi militia, and the back of the free people. The three forces could not be effectively combined into one. Under the fierce impact of the Grummentum warriors, the Greek army in the middle was retreating from the beginning... As the battle continued, these three soldiers who had their own worries were born with different soldiers.

They began to have an idea: mercenaries fight for money, and in the hopeless victory, of course, what they thought of was to save their lives first; Turiyi's militia were indeed fighting with all their might, but half of them were middle-aged people, their physical strength had reached their limits, and they were still holding on because Turiyi was their homeland and could not be trampled by the barbarians; and the free people came to the war with a try attitude, and they won the right to citizenship, and if they lost, they fled Turiyi and went to other city-states to find a new life.

As the Greek army retreated faster and faster in the middle, the gap between them and the left and right wings was widening. When Grummenthum's soldiers rushed into the gaps on both sides and attacked the Greek army's middle route from the side, the entire middle route square collapsed and the soldiers fled around...

Davers, who had been paying close attention to the situation on this side, sighed, suppressed his extremely disappointed mood, and decisively ordered a retreat. The retreat order designed by Davers was quite special, which was very different from the ordinary Greek army: it first had a long tone, followed by a melody consistent with the charge. The horn soldiers repeatedly blew it three times, and most of the Lucanian soldiers thought that the mercenaries were going to charge again. In this moment of daze, the mercenaries slightly distanced, and the light shield soldiers in the back formation threw the javelin again (this is really a master of art and courage, without strict training, and it is easy to accidentally hurt their comrades). When the Lukari were busy with defense, the mercenaries quickly and unanimously completed a series of retreat actions such as turning around and running...
