"Let's go! Come on!! Shilos pulled him back, and he took the lead, and the soldiers immediately retreated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Persian cavalry, with their bows, rushed over again, several of them lifting Mithradat's body, while the rest pursued the Greek soldiers. This time, they learned to be obedient, split into two strands, and made a detour to Davers on either side of them.

"Watch out for bows and arrows!" Shiros shouted, waving for the soldiers to disperse.

Davers, who was inexperienced in the middle of the group, hesitated for a moment before being pounced from behind, and then a snort of pain was heard.

"Oliver!" Davers recognized his face distorted by pain, but there was no time for him to think about it, as Matonis and Giogris next to him quickly dragged them around, circled the curve, and ran forward.

"Whoosh! Sou! ......" More than a dozen arrows flew at a rapid pace again, and two screams sounded in succession.

By this time, the receiving team had arrived, and the light infantry column running in front threw javelins at the Persian cavalry, and then, holding leather shields, continued to charge forward. The heavy infantry who arrived then erected their shields and formed a shield wall to block the arrows that came from them.

The Persian cavalry, which consisted of only twenty people, did not dare to fight, and quickly fled with the body of Mithradat with them.

Davers only had a chance to check on Olivers' injury.

Oliver saw Davers arrive and broke free of Giogris's support.

"Chief...... I...... I-" Before he could finish, Davers gave him a powerful hug, "Thank you, good brother!" ”

Hearing this, Oliver's face, which had been gloomy recently, smiled, and his whole person relaxed, and then pain struck: "Ouch! He screamed.

Davers thought he had touched his wound and hurriedly let go.

"Hey, Olivers, it's good that you got an arrow in the butt, if you get an arrow in the front, I don't know what to scream!" Mattonis scoffed.

"Damn Matonis, if you're brave, next time you'll take an arrow!" Oliver touched the arrow on his ass with one hand and sneered at each other.

The noise is back in the Shiros squad.

In addition to Oliver, one soldier was shot in the thigh and the other in the back, but because of the thick cuirasse, he only suffered a flesh wound.

"Giogris, you send Oliver and them to Phelps, please treat him well!" After Davers finished speaking, he patted Oliver on the shoulder: "Take good treatment and come back as soon as possible to fight with us!" ”

"Yes, Chief!" Oliver replied aloud.

"Excellent raid! I didn't expect you to really succeed, we were all worried about you just now! ”

"Yes, you killed Mithradat and avenged part of Menon and them, and the entire mercenary army should be grateful to you!"

"Before, they said that we were crazy and chose the leader randomly, what do they say this time?"

Filicios, along with Antonios and Capus, came over and congratulated Davers, while Amintas gave him a military salute.

The clever Arcistes brought the horses and let Davers mount them.

The soldiers consciously gave way to a passage, chanted victory, and welcomed him back to their positions......

"What do you say?! Davers killed Mithradat ?! After listening to the herald's words, Timasong looked incredulous: "This is a time of war, and there is a punishment for spreading news indiscriminately!"

………………………

"Davers killed Mithradat!" Xenophon exclaimed: "He came up with a bold plan, and it actually succeeded!" ”

"Great!" Hieronymus sighed and said in a hateful voice, "This time I see who else wants to escape!" The Persians died Mithradat and will definitely be angry with those deserters! ”

………………………

Chrysops listened carefully to what Tolmid had to say, and although he didn't like the young man very much, he had to admit that he had done a pretty good job this time, and could even say that he had saved the whole army. Because he knows very well that mercenaries with loose military discipline and lax management are not afraid of enemy attacks, and the more fierce the enemy's attack, the more united the mercenaries will be. On the contrary, Mithradat is like this, and over time, it will break the fighting spirit of the soldiers and make the entire team collapse.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly to Tolmid: "Please go and say to the chief of Davers on my behalf, thank him for his efforts for the whole army!" And reminded him that the enemy offensive was probably coming soon. ”

"What?! Mithradat is dead?! Arilius couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes, General, his body is outside the tent!" The guard said.

Arilius hurried out of the tabernacle, followed by a confidant sent by Artauzus and Tisafnis.

Mithradat's body had been simply disposed of, but it was still horrible, with four or five wounds on his body, a fist-sized bloody hole in his neck, and blood leaking out.

Arilius bent down and was about to take a closer look, when Artauzus couldn't help but shout at the fleeing Persian cavalry, "Who did it?!" Who did it?! ”

"Yes...... Menon's soldiers, they ...... "the Persian cavalry stammered throughout the process.

"A bunch of fools! Defeated by Menon's wasted men! You did not protect Mithradat well, and each of you was given thirty lashes of martial law, and then punished as servants in the baggage battalion. Artauzus roared angrily.

"The general spares his life! The general spares his life!! The Persian cavalry kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Arilius, though he felt sorry for the Greek-speaking cavalry, had no intention of stopping Artauzus. He instructed the guards to escort the cavalrymen down, and then said: "Bring a few of the fleeing Greeks, and I will inquire in detail." ”

"What else to ask! Kill them all! Then lead the army to attack the Greek barbarians! Artauzus shouted impatiently.

"After Clearcus and they were captured by us, the mercenaries must have elected a new leader, and we must understand who they are before we can take the next step." Arirois resisted persuasion.

"If you want to ask, I'll go and avenge Mithradat first!" Artauzus walked away in a rage.

Arirous shrugged helplessly at Tisafnis's cronies. Nominally he was the commander of the army after the death of Cyrus the Younger, but in fact Mithradat and Artauzus each controlled an army, and the two were friends, openly and secretly opposing Ariros, which made Ariros often constrained. Now, Mithradat has died in battle, and Arilius is actually secretly happy in his heart, compared to the sleek Mithradat, the impulsive Artauzu is much easier to deal with......

…………………………

Although Artauzus was impulsive, he was not confused in fighting. Knowing that the Persian infantry could not fight against the Greek heavy infantry, he selected only two hundred archers and two hundred archers, and hurriedly led them in pursuit of the Greek army.

Since Artauzus's army was either light cavalry or archers, it was very mobile. By the afternoon, the huge queue of Greeks came into his sight.

"Order the troops, spread out in the shape of a goose, and quickly press forward!" Artauzus' eyes glowed with bloodthirsty coldness, and he gave orders excitedly.

The Persian army was facing the rearguard of Cyriano, who had expected the Persians' arrival again, and had not seen many enemies, and thought that they were ready to shout again, as they had done last time, so they were on guard and did not pay much attention to it.

But I saw that the Persians were rapidly spreading and approaching rapidly, and the distance was less than 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

Crian Norton felt bad and shouted, "Prepare for defense!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Persians' arrows had already struck, most of them raining down on the round shields of the soldiers. Due to the close line-up of the Greek soldiers and the close proximity of the light and heavy infantry, a number of wounded, mainly light infantry, were immediately wounded.

"Spread out the formation, the heavy infantry rushes forward!" Cyano anxiously finished delivering the order.

The arrows struck again, and another man fell screaming. At this time, the ranks were somewhat chaotic, especially the baggage battalion behind him, and the guards and servants hurriedly pulled the neighing cattle and horses to the north, away from the rearguard troops, so as not to harm the pond fish.

Three squadrons of heavy infantry, armed with round shields, rushed through the rain of arrows.

The Persians immediately retreated.
