Severa staggered back a few steps, trying to throw the spear in his hand to fight back, but his already tired body was severely injured again. He fell down the slope, slid down...

Severa's death did not scare the subsequent soldiers. The belief in living gave them the courage and strength for the time being. Warriors were constantly shot and fell down, and warriors rushed up, watching the Lucanian soldiers approaching the top of the slope...

The sound of the bronze horn sounded in a timely and rapid manner. The light shield soldiers quickly retreated from the gap between the mercenary heavy infantry array. The heavy infantry stepped forward to form a long and thin dense square array. Standing on the top of the slope, they wanted to use long steel walls to destroy the hope of the enemy's escape. The light infantry behind them continued to fire javelins, arrows, and flying stones regardless of their sour arms, so that they could cross the heavy infantry in front in a perfect arc and land on the slope, and continue to kill and damage the subsequent enemies to avoid them from forming a continuous impact. The slaves behind had already brought bundles of arrows and javelins to supplement the light infantry's consumed long-range weapons.

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

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

……………………………

As the leader of Grummentum and the leader of the Lucanian tribal coalition, Akpiru, who is over fifty years old, cannot impulsively pursue the pursuit like a young warrior. If he doesn't chase, there is a guard team composed of 400 Grummentum warriors responsible for his safety. Of course, it is impossible for him to leave him alone to pursue him. Niutum and Laus are in the same situation as him. There are about 700 soldiers in the three teams.

After they met, they advanced at a faster speed. When they rushed to the hot spring swamp, they heard the sound of fighting and screams in front of them...

The faces of the big leaders changed.

"Start up!" Akbiru issued an urgent order.

The fast-moving team encountered the Davers mercenaries who were also rushing to complete the encirclement sealing work.

When Phelisius saw the enemy on the mountain road, he felt a "knock". Fortunately, he was experienced and quickly made his own arrangements: Cappus was responsible for commanding the first, second and third companies to block the surrounding enemies; the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh companies followed him to attack the enemy in front.

At the same time, Phelis also called a messenger: "Go and inform Melsis and let him lead the slaves to arrive quickly!"

Akpiro felt even more uneasy when he saw that the Greeks dared to divide their troops when they were approaching: If it weren't for something more important, would these timid Greeks dare to do this?!

He immediately issued an order: "Give me all my strength to attack!"

The two fully armed teams were both their own elites. They collided directly without array or expansion...

…………………………

Cappus led his army to the west of the river beach and ran into the terrifying Lukari warrior who had just climbed out of the slope.

They were immediately hit by pain, and they left dozens of corpses and rolled down the slope. The mercenaries immediately blocked the gap.

Now, to the east of the Great River Beach are Tarantum reinforcements; to the north are Dracos's mercenaries, all the light infantry, and slave soldiers; to the west are the heavy infantry among the Davers' mercenaries; to the south are the hot spring swamps and the Tino River, which are flooded in spring rain.

The Lucanian tribal coalition was surrounded by more than 9,000 in a narrow and low-lying area about two miles long and half a mile wide, while the total force of the encirclement was only more than 7,000 (plus slave soldiers). The blocking line was weak, especially to the west, only Davers hired 600 mercenaries, almost only single infantry. The Dracos mercenaries extending to the north, connected to their arrays, just like dumplings with thin skin and a lot of stuffing, and there was danger of being squeezed out at any time. Fortunately, the Lucanians in the encirclement were temporarily chaotic and unorganized, and they bumped like headless flies, unable to form a joint force.

In Davers' plan, the long-range fire strike of the light infantry was the main factor in weakening the enemy's strength. His Persian Expeditionary Force not only played the role of completing the encirclement, but also his most trusted offensive force. Now, due to accidents, the power of this expeditionary force was dispersed. After Davers learned of this emergency through the reconnaissance, although he was anxious, it was one of the several possibilities he planned in advance, and he had backup measures.

He immediately sent cavalry to urge Melsis to lead his team to accelerate, rushed to the place where Phelisius's troops fought, met with Phelisius, concentrated his troops, wiped out the unexpected enemy troops in one fell swoop, and then re-entered the encirclement and annihilation of the Lukari people.

Time is now the key to the Greek army's victory.

Akpiru also knows its importance.

Two elite troops fought bloody battles: one was the warriors selected from the All Lucanian Tribal Alliance, who did not go through a fierce battle and were still physically strong; the other was the Greek mercenaries who had been expeditioning to Persia, with rich experience and superb skills, but the unstoppable running made them extremely lack of physical strength. However, the battle process surprised Akpiru. He originally thought that the Greeks did not set up a square formation, and such melee should be the Lucanian warriors who were used to this way of fighting had the advantage, but the Lucanian warriors gradually began to retreat...

Akpiro, standing high in the rear, observed that the Greeks often gathered dozens of people (actually the unique squad of the Davers mercenaries). They were not only very organized, but also flexible, and they cooperated with each other with tacit understanding and lethality. Instead, the Lucanians were cut into pieces by them, like a plate of loose sand...

This made him realize the seriousness of the matter. He quickly sent a small team of soldiers to order them to return to the camp quickly and informed the great leader of Picossis Cincinnag: immediately lead the left-behind soldiers to come, help him defeat the current enemy, and further crush the enemy's conspiracy!

The soldiers who returned to report the news were followed by the Rides cavalry (last night, Davers took the opportunity to temporarily borrow ten war horses from Bulcos, thus rebuilding the mercenary cavalry team). Due to the rugged mountain road, the speed of the cavalry was not fully utilized. Several wounded soldiers escaped the pursuit of the cavalry and ran all the way into the Lucanian camp.

"Hurry... Go and notify the Grand Leader of Cincinnag! We are ambushed and send reinforcements!" Under the surprised gaze of the soldiers who were about to withdraw the camp, they were tired and shouted anxiously.

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

"Oh no, it's the Viggen!" The warrior who reported the message realized the difference between these people and was shocked.

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

The warrior seemed to remember the person who spoke was a leader of Vig City, Saru...

………………………………………

Akpiru asked Picosis and Vig to be responsible for the withdrawal of the camp, but Cincinnag handed over the chore to the Vigs. He and his son and several leaders were discussing in the tent on "how to protect Picosis's interests after occupying the Subari Plain next."

The guard suddenly broke in and shouted in panic: "Big leader, it's not good! The Vigs suddenly attacked us!"

What!! Cincinnagg was shocked and immediately cursed angrily: "The Vigs who should be killed, don't they want to live anymore!"

He rushed out of the military tent, and the scene in front of him was far beyond his expectations: smoke was rolling everywhere in the camp, countless tents were burning in the fire, the Vigs held spears and divided into countless squads, chasing the unprepared Picoses warriors everywhere, and the Picoses fled in a panic...

Cincinnager's ears were filled with the shrill screams of his tribe, which made him almost crazy: "Ah!!...I have said a long time ago that these despicable Brutis should be killed, but Akbiru just refused to listen!...Genina Express! Go and organize the soldiers to fight back! Counterattack! Repel them! Kill them all! And destroy the city of Vig!...Ah!!..."

Needless to say, Glenart and the leaders had already rushed out anxiously.
Chapter completed!
