Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece
Chapter 9: Night march
When the sun began to sink, the soldiers began to sort out the equipment.
Put on the breastplate - this is made of linen that is glued together in multiple layers. It is about five or six centimeters thick and is very hard and tough, but not too heavy. The hem is up to the thigh and is cut into a wing shape for easy movement.
Set the armor that protects the calf. Attaching the Greek saber to the waist - this is a kind of sword, the sword is sixty-five centimeters long, single-edged, curved like a hind leg.
The Collins helmet couldn't be brought at this time, because the march was not visible at night, and this only eye-opening helmet narrowed the line of sight. Davers learned that the helmet was tied to a two-meter-long lance.
The stab gun, this is the main weapon of the Greek heavy infantry. The gun is made of ash, the tip of the blade is made of iron, and the end of the gun is also set with copper spikes.
Daphus picked up the round shield with his left hand. It has a shallow bowl shape with a wooden inside. The whole is covered with copper and has a diameter of about 90 cm. The shield is painted with the face of Minotaur. There is a belt on the inside for the left arm to be inserted into the elbow, so that the soldier can put the entire left arm on the round shield, which not only saves labor, but also facilitates defense and shield. Another small metal hook is placed on the inner edge of the inside of the round shield, which can be hung on the shoulder for easy marching.
Davers held the shield with his left hand and the gun with his right hand. He could not help but smile: he changed from a modern man to an ancient Western armored warrior. However, the cells of the whole body are boiling and cheering, letting him realize that the muscle memory of this body is working.
He tried a few steps and felt very comfortable. Excited, but also a little excited. Every man has a warrior dream in his heart! That is the inheritance of the ancestors in the blood from the time of Ru Mao and blood. Modern people in the era of peace can no longer feel the courage to face face to face, and Daves of this era has such an opportunity!
When Davers was still adapting to the equipment of this body, Hilos reminded him: "You still have something to take."
I saw two javelins on the ground and a string of sausages. He smiled bitterly: This is really a work of self!
He carefully placed the sausage on his chest, lest the oil get on the breastplate.
At this time, the squadron leader Antonios came over and said to Hilos: "We have to go to the camp and work with Melsis." Then he also nodded to Daves, obviously the reputation of Davers had already been passed. The squadron’s ears made him afraid to ignore it.
"Who is the order? Isn't Menon still in Alijos?" Hilos asked strangely. He is not willing to act with the heavy camp. The action is slow and the danger is still great.
"The commander of the deputy, Felicius, temporarily intervened in the command of Menon. The last time the Persians broke our camp, the slaves of the heavy camp mostly fled. They are now short of staff, and Melsis named our team to help. "When he finished, he looked at Daphus again."
..............................
"Davis, I didn't expect it! We met again!" Melsis haha smiled, straight through the team officers and soldiers, and gave Davis a hug.
I know that this fat man is a ghost! Daves has no choice but to smile.
"Everyone else is going to bring those animals. Davers is with me," he ordered.
This fat man is ruthless when he is not familiar with you. Once the relationship is good, he is too enthusiastic. Isn't this pulling hatred for yourself? Davers quickly refused.
There are hundreds of animals and dozens of carts full of loaded items, as well as many slaves and women.
Simultaneously. The formed column can be up to two miles long. This is just a military camp, and it can be imagined how bloated the entire Greek mercenary is. Davers observed all this and meditated in his heart.
At this time, the long camping number in the night rang out over the noisy camp.
It’s time to go. Daves subconsciously tightened the rope, and his heart was a little nervous.
The team began to move forward. The camp was on the right side, the troops were on the left, and the team officers held the torch. Under the glory of the cold moonlight. The entire Greek army is like a long, unexplored fire dragon crawling slowly.
After about an hour, I heard the sound of running water in front of me. Davers knew that the Euphrates River is coming.
The river at night is black and sly, and it looks like it has infinite width and infinite depth, which can cause great fear. Therefore, the team was much quieter, fearing that the river **** was alarmed.
At this time, the queue naturally became a squatting camp along the left bank of the Euphrates River. The troops were on the outside, protecting the property of their camp. Obviously the leaders had some experience in marching at night. Davers looked in his eyes and studied silently.
Menon’s troops are at the end of the entire queue. Of course, this is not the request of Mei Long. In fact, he is asking the person to come back and ask his troops to walk in the middle of the entire team. But the leaders are all dissatisfied with Menon. Because at the beginning of the march from Asia to Babylon, Menon had earned a lot of benefits in order to earn performance in front of the small Cyrus, rushing to be a pioneer, burning and looting. Now I have to retreat, and I want to go to the middle to save my soldiers from attacks and reduce losses. How can you make him a good person! So unanimously decided to let his team go to the end. This is what Meron's confidant Melsis told Daves, and he had a certain understanding of Menon.
At this time, the commander of the whole army, Tormid, finally rushed to the team of Menon and conveyed the order: "The front has joined the army of Alijos. The leaders are negotiating with Ari Rous. Please rest in place. Keep alert and wait for orders!"
The quiet team suddenly rioted:
"I can finally rest for a while!"
"We have been away for two hours, I am exhausted!"
"Me too. Taking the ox cart, it's just too tired! We can't go back to camp again tomorrow!"
"That's right! Go to the squadron leader tomorrow."
"Go and say it now!"
......
Looking at the noisy warriors, Davers stood up and said loudly: "Brothers, please be quiet! Brothers! I am Davers!"
Unexpectedly, his shouting was more effective than that of the squadron leader Antonios. The heavy-duty soldiers stopped making noises and wanted to hear what the ‘God’ said.
"I tell you a story, how to solve it, okay?"
"what story?"
"It's called A...Alice and the Forty Thieves."
"Sounds good! Come and listen!"
So Daves cleared his throat and began to say loudly: "I used to live in a small town in Ionian..."
Gradually, the camp was completely quiet, and even the beast stopped crembling. The soldiers, as well as the slaves and women, listened attentively. They were envious of Aris’s inability to gain the wealth of thieves; he was amused by Aris’s brother’s screaming for the cave password; he was nervous for the thieves to find Aris’s house; and he was applauded for the wisdom of the female slave.
After the story is finished, everyone’s meaning is still unfinished:
"Aris is so lucky!
"He is lucky because he has a smart and beautiful Persian slave!"
"Yes! I think he can redeem for the female slave ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Let her be a free man! After all, she saved Aris!"
"Stupid! He should be a slave girl. This way the slave can continue to help him!"
......
Everyone is talking about it.
"Daves, is there a cave full of gold and silver treasures?" Even Melsis couldn't help but ask Daves to ask.
Antonios looked at the back of Daves and couldn't help but sigh: "Hilos, there is a talent in your village!"
"Do you mean Davers? Of course, he is a oracle! I even want to give him the position of his captain."
"Small captain?" Antonios grinned. A mercenary leader will often replace his soldiers, and the middle and senior officers who lead the team are mostly confidants, which will not be easily changed, because it is convenient for him to control the troops. Antonios and Menon also have five or six years, because the mission has also seen many Greek, Persian dignitaries, and people have some experience.
After a day of observation, he found that Duffus was calm and completely different from a 19-year-old child. It is very disciplined to do things. People are modest and courteous, and eloquence is good. The soldiers are happy to be close to him. However, he often has whimsy and can solve problems that others can't solve. When he marches, he also sees that Daves is not helping others to shield or push the car. Such a person, even young, can be trusted.
If his ability to command combat is not weak, then such a charming and capable person, his future is immeasurable. If he has enough financial resources, he can become a qualified mercenary leader! Antonios thought of this and thought of Menon: What would he do when he knew that such a character suddenly appeared in his military camp?
