Just in case, the 1st Cavalry Regiment sent 500 cavalry to follow for protection.

The group quickly rushed to the vicinity of Tiger City, and saw thousands of Spartan soldiers in the southwest of Tiger City in a north-south direction, the scene was noisy and chaotic, and the head of Tiger City shouted and killed, obviously the Spartans were still unwilling to give up the siege like this, and were still making the last effort.

Seeing that the cavalry led by Klotocatax continued to approach, the Spartan array also sent a lot of cavalry to drive away.

In order to prevent an accident, Printors had to make Klotocatax retreat immediately.

On the way back, Klotocatax saw that Printors had been frowning and deep in thought, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything wrong with the Spartans?" ”

Printors came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, have you seen those real Spartan warriors? They turned out to be on the left flank of the array! ”

Reminded by Printors, Klotocatax recalled what he had seen: thousands of Spartan warriors dressed in traditional red skulls lined up at the southernmost point of the battle array, which stretched for miles long.

Klotocatax spent some time in the staff office of the Ministry of War, participated in the study of past battles in the Mediterranean, and he knew that due to the small population, the Spartans rarely fought independently in large-scale battles, and almost all of them commanded coalition forces, and Sparta's own soldiers were often concentrated on the right flank, relying on the traditional left-hand tactics of Sparta to finally decide the outcome of the battle, and this time the Spartan warriors were actually concentrated on the left flank, which was indeed unexpected.

He thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of the defeat at the Battle of Leuktra, uh, the Spartans thought that their traditional tactics were no longer applicable, so they changed their formation?" Or...... They just set up a random formation, pretending to fight us, just to slow down our rescue of Tegea? ”

Printors knew the current situation of Sparta, and the only way to command and command such a large army could only be their old king Agesilaus, he had learned about the veteran's previous battle examples, his style was cunning and changeable, and the traditional Spartan generals were very different, this different change in battle formation would of course attract his attention, but for a while he couldn't guess the real intentions of the other party, temporarily suppressed his doubts to the bottom of his heart, and said: "Your Highness, you are right, we should rescue Tegea first now!" ”

However, by the time the Dionian army approached Tegya, the Spartan army had ceased its siege and continued to line up to the east of the Dionian army, where it seemed that they were really preparing to fight the Dionian army to the death.

Klotocatax immediately gathered the commanders together and informed them of the battle plan that had been negotiated with Printors.

"Your Highness, our First Legion has the strongest combat effectiveness, but you have arranged us on the left flank and let the Fourth Legion on the right flank to fight against the Spartan warriors, I think this seems a bit unreasonable!" Quetsus objected.

"I think it's reasonable! The Fourth Legion is more than capable of repelling the Spartans head-on and laying the foundation for victory in the whole battle! Oliver not only retorted loudly, but also put on his old qualifications: "Ketisus, I can't see it, just became the commander of the legion, and he didn't take us seriously." ”

"How dare I, Sir Oliver." Quetsus replied with a cried out, but not to be outdone: "I'm just saying a fact for the sake of victory." ”

Seeing this, Klotocatax hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "You two don't fight!" I believe that with the combat strength of the Fourth Army Corps, it is quite possible to resist and even repel the Spartan attack, but the key to victory in the whole battle is on our left flank!

Captain Krishus, you must lead the First Legion to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, and then attack the flank of the enemy's center to win the entire battle, and I hope you can do it! ”

Chysus's spirits perked up, and he immediately said confidently: "Your Highness, rest assured, the First Legion has never disappointed the commander!" ”

The contradiction seemed to be resolved, but then the commander of the Seventh Legion, Tegalos, said dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, you are too unfair to the Seventh Legion!" Left behind in Messenia were the soldiers of my Seventh Legion! Left behind in the new camp were the soldiers of my 7th Legion! Now the battle is about to take place, and it is my soldiers of the Seventh Legion who are in reserve! Could it be that the Seventh Legion worked so hard to accompany you to the Peloponnese, and as a result, they didn't catch a single battle, how will they face their relatives when they go back! ”

The more he talked about the back, the more aggrieved Tegalus felt, and his voice became louder and louder, attracting the surrounding soldiers to look at him.

Compared with the Seventh Legion, the other legions have benefited after all, and the legion commanders hurriedly looked at their noses and noses, with a look that had nothing to do with me.

Although Klotocatas was hit like this, he was not annoyed, but persuaded him very apologetically: "Commander of the Tygetyros Legion, the commander of the Spartan army is King Agesilaus, he has always been good at using troops, and it may not be easy to win this battle, so let the Seventh Legion as a reserve, I hope you can control the entire battle situation at a critical time and win victory for us!" Even if Sparta is defeated, our war in Greece will not end there, and in future military operations, I assure you that the Seventh Legion will be the first to be considered!

After hearing these words, Tegaltilus's expression was slightly pale, and he immediately said: The Seventh Legion will perform the duties of the reserve.

Tegaltiros looks like five big and three thick, but he actually has a lot of thoughts. Before he left, Davos had spoken to him specifically, and he sensed that King Davos had high expectations for Klotocatax, how could he risk offending the king and not carry out his orders, just to take the opportunity to scatter and attract the prince's attention, and to earn more benefits for the Seventh Legion, after all, compared with the First, Fourth, and Sixth Legions, the Seventh Legion really had no advantage.

"Time is pressing, please rush back to your own regiment as soon as you receive the task."

Watching the legion commanders ride away, Printols, who had been silent before, praised from the bottom of his heart: "Well done, Your Highness!" ”

Mukru, who was on the sidelines, understood why Printors said that. As the commander of the Dionian army, in the face of the doubts of his subordinates, it is completely possible to solve it with one sentence - this is an order! After all, according to the Dionian Military Law, after an order is given, the junior officer must strictly enforce it. But Crotocatacuses was still very patient in convincing these generals at this time, which shows that the statement that "His Royal Highness the Prince is a humble person" is indeed not a lie.

Under the orders of the commanders of the regiments, under the command of officers of all ranks, all the soldiers of the Dionian army quickly moved into action.

Although the Ionian army began to line later than the Spartan army, after half an hour the formation of the Dionian army was basically completed: the first army was on the left flank, the sixth army was in the center, and the fourth army was on the right flank, the array was 15 columns thick and about 4 li long, and the first cavalry corps was divided into 1,000 cavalry each, located at both ends of the array.

Agosilaus, who was standing at the front of the queue and was observing the formation of the Dionian army, saw that the opponent was moving quickly, and quickly stopped the noise, frowned, looked back at the array that was still a little chaotic on both sides behind him, and couldn't help but say: "Hurry up and urge the generals to speed up the formation!" ”

"Father." Archidamus hesitated: "Didn't you let them deliberately slow down the formation?" ”

"I think even if they don't have to slow down, it's the Dioonians who line up first." Agosilaus said helplessly: "Hurry up and inform us, in case the Dioonians suddenly attack, our formation is still so chaotic, how can we fight!" ”

"Yes, Father!" Archidamus quickly ran back into the lineup.

Agesilaus looked at the Dionian military formation again, the field of vision was black, after looking at it for a while, he couldn't tell where the advantage of the Dionian military formation was, but he felt sour, he reluctantly gave up the observation of the enemy formation, and slowly walked back to the rear of the military formation under the escort of the guards.

The sun had begun to shift toward the western sky, and the sun shone on the plains of Tigoa, with a dazzling Spartan formation of four miles long on the east side, and a Dionic army on the west side, which was pitch black and also four miles long, separated by three miles of green wheat fields, like two yellow and black parallel lines drawn on a piece of green cloth, and the midpoint of the northern end of these two parallel lines was the city of Tegeria.

"Father, the formation is already in line, why don't you attack yet?!" Archidamus hurried over and asked.

"Don't rush, wait a little longer." Agosilaus glanced at him and said unhurriedly.

"What are you waiting for, the soldiers have been waiting for half an hour, and the sun will set if you wait any longer!" Archidamus urged anxiously.

Agosilaus immediately sank his face and said in a stern tone: "You should stay with your soldiers, instead of running here to fool around, go back quickly!" ”

Agesilaus looked at the back of Archidamus leaving, and subconsciously rubbed his face with his hands, in fact, he was not waiting, but fearing.

A veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades can be afraid?

But that's just the way it is. Although Agosilaus has experienced countless wars, it is still the first time to command a battle that can decide the life and death of Sparta, and the opponent is still the powerful Dionia, just now he has seen the training of the opposing soldiers, although he has made careful arrangements for this battle in advance, but when it comes to the war, his heart is inexplicably empty, the life and death of Sparta is tied to his order, he can't open his mouth with difficulty.
