Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Is Persia also?" Asistics asked curiously.

"Greece?" Marigi immediately glanced back and asked, not to be outdone.

Davers looked at them and half-jokingly said half-heartedly: "If you live long enough, you may see it in 50 years."

"Is this a god?" Asistics asked excitedly.

Marigi clearly did not believe.

Davers smiled and didn't answer. If his butterfly's wings are weak enough to change the course of history, decades later (he can't remember the exact time), Alexander of Macedonia conquered the Greek native and then destroyed Persia. Because the Greeks did not think that the Macedonians in the north were their own people, in a sense, he conquered the two most powerful forces in the Mediterranean at the time.

.................................

In the next two days, the Greek mercenaries continued to march lightly.

Until the third day, the army of Tissa Funis appeared.

Now, the light cavalry squad of the fifty Greek mercenaries is basically being thrown out by Devers, when the cavalry is used. After all, the Persian cavalry has a strong personal ability, one-on-one killing, and the Greek cavalry is not an opponent. Therefore, they are in groups of five. They dare not leave the big forces too far. They only operate within a radius of two or three miles. When they see the Persian troops far away, they immediately return.

"The Persians are here, ready to defend!"

"The order of the passer-by Sophos, ready to defend!"

The commander quickly swam around the huge square and conveyed the order.

The hollow large square center guards used by the Greek mercenaries are heavy camps, so it is impossible to change before they reach the enemy. They just let the camps gather in the center, and the soldiers hold shield spears to increase vigilance and slow down the march. Keep the formation intact.

Soon, the Persians appeared right behind the team. From the high-flying flag, the soldiers knew that Tissa Funis was here. The Greek mercenaries had easily defeated him in the Kunasak battle, so they were not too concerned.

Then, there was another team on the left wing of Tisafunis. As the array progressed, the Greeks were in a tight heart. This is another army with no less than 10,000 people! The emblem on the military flag is familiar to everyone. The Armenian Governor Oritas came, which was originally in the estimation of the leaders.

Then, there was another army on the right wing of Tissa Funis, and there were no more than 10,000 people. The flag of the high flag made everyone familiar.

"Oh, I remembered it! It was the army we met on the road, said to be led by the Persian kings!" Asistics shouted.

"This army that should have marched in the opposite direction has appeared here! It is probably always quietly following us! Tissa Funis has long been malicious to us!" said Felicius.

Davers moved a little stiff nod, clasping the stables with his hands.

In the army of Tisafunis, there is the remnant of the small Cyrus led by Arifulus. The four-way army gathered together in a vast expanse of geese, slowly approaching the Greek army...

The seemingly endless, dense crowd was the most seen by the Greek mercenaries after the Battle of Kulasak. The last time there was a small Cyrus, the mercenaries were only responsible for the right wing, and now they are facing Persia. The whole army, everyone is inevitably nervous.

Despite the tension, when the Greeks knew that there was only a **** battle, they had a way to live. Kyrian has been watching the enemy's distance of travel, watching the range to enter the slinger, he immediately issued instructions: "The slinger is ready!"

The slingers in the entire guards immediately began to slam the slings. More than three hundred meters away, the accuracy and strength of the flying stones will be worse, but the Persians are so many, so dense, almost every stone When they fell, they all provoked a cry. The Persian army in the middle of the road was in chaos, and the pace of advancement almost stopped.

"Governor, the enemy's attack is too fierce! Should we temporarily retreat and let the two wings of the army force it up first?" An adjutant next to him proposed to Tisafunis.

Tissa Funis’s face was also unsightly, but he refused without hesitation. Although he was appointed by the king as the general manager of the plan to expel the Greeks, Oritas was only assisting, and the brother of the king, Seatiers, was only a friend. But one governor who is a level with him is the king's son-in-law; the other is the king's brother. If he does not die, how can he hope that they will help each other, not to mention their close relationship with the king, and go back and personally say that their performance is intimate with Artaxerxes, and they have finally built a good impression in the heart of the Persian king. It was destroyed.

Tisafunis glanced at the adjutant and immediately ordered: "Accelerate the speed and continue to approach!" This time, he concentrated nearly 50,000 troops. People, what he has is! Since the Greeks want to compete with him for long-range firepower, it is better to see who is shooting! See who can stand it! Anyway, he is not prepared to fight with Greece. After the Kurasak battle, the Greeks stepped on the infantry and easily defeated the scene of the left wing of the wave. It happened to him and the impact on him was too great.

The Persians screamed all the way and rushed all the way. Tissa Funis even sent a pro-military to supervise the war and cut down the deserters one by one to warn the whole army. Under such circumstances, the two wings of the wave army also quickly surrounded the mercenary. Because the Persians had too many troops and the mercenaries were round, the Persian army stretched the front and surrounded the entire mercenary.

Davers has already been dismissed, and the horse has been taken to the center of the square. In the face of an approaching enemy, he is not as nervous as he was at the beginning: "Vertical Shield Wall!"

The two commanders of Assisi and his men conveyed Daves' orders in the entire left-wing force.

The four-row heavy infantry squadron began to move closer together, close to the round shield and round shield, and soon a long copper wall was erected. The Greek heavy infantry's round shield is a must in the infantry of the Mediterranean countries. The round shield is one meter in diameter, the wooden core is wrapped in copper, and it is not held by hand. It is the two grips of the whole arm passing through the back of the round shield. It is therefore labor-saving and not easy to slip off, because it is big enough and hard enough ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is difficult to be penetrated by bows and arrows.

The archers who were freed behind the heavy infantry also quickly approached the shield wall, reducing the damage of the other bows and arrows. Because of the 6,000 people who had previously smashed Altazus, the Cretan archers in the mercenary not only changed the Persian counter. The bow, and even the soldiers who used the heavy infantry and light shields to make bows and arrows, also joined the archers, making the number of mercenary archers reach 500, they are scattered in the guard and left and right wings.

When the Persian army approached within a hundred meters, the two sides put arrows at almost the same time.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!..." A series of bows rang, and countless arrows leaped into the air like a large cloud, covering the blue sky and the hot sun. The sharpness of the arrow even caused many arrows to collide in the air. When most of the "black clouds" fell on the mercenary army, a "clam! 铛! 铛!..." sounded, and there were two or two misfortunes. Called; when a small part of the "black clouds" fell on the Persian army, it was a scream...

Both arrows come to the arrow.

The Persians even pushed the front line to 50 meters and would not advance half a point. Because the Persians are very clear, the Greek Light Shield will be put into battle.

..............................

The bow and arrow battle lasted for a while.

In addition to the long, square-shaped shield wall, the mercenary was clean, and the Greek archers with empty arrows around them were not worried. They simply pulled an arrow on the ground. ", just hit back.

Davers has become accustomed to the sound of the arrow hitting the round shield. He is more worried about the squeaking of the ear from time to time, which means that there are people in the arrow. His left arm was also a bit numb, but he remained in the same position motionless and did not dare to evacuate the shield. Now the two sides are fighting for perseverance to see who can stick to the end.
