The Samonai warriors who fell last were naturally easily chased and stabbed down by the Dionian light armor.

Seeing the retreat of Samonai's army on all fronts, the Dionian light infantry, which was originally the second line of attack, also took the initiative to break away from the protection of the heavy infantry, spread their feet, and ran forward, and soon caught up with the light armor soldiers, and at the same time gradually expanded the pursuit net in the east.

Polet, who was leading his troops to the west of the mountains, heard the sound of the trumpets of the attack from the east, and suddenly felt anxious in his heart, and gave a loud order: "Don't line up, give me all up the mountain at once, rush over, and surround the Samoneites!" ”

After giving the order, Polette remembered Zantiparis beside him, and then asked slightly apologetically: "General Zantiparis, what is your opinion?" ”

The 60-year-old Zantiparis followed this non-stop mountain march, and now his legs were so tired that his legs were weak, and he was supported by two guards, panting beside him, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Lord Pollett...... I'm all for that...... Your decision! …… But we'll have to hurry...... Don't lose to them! As he spoke, he pointed to the front.

A few hundred meters ahead, a black-red unit was also climbing up the mountain.

Paulette's face immediately turned pale: "You're right, we can't lose to the Samoneh!" ”

He immediately ordered the trumpeters to continue to blow the trumpets of the attack, and asked his men to urge the soldiers to speed up the climb over the mountain.

The Pothenians were also a mountain race, and their ability to climb mountains and mountains was no less weak, and the soldiers drew the Dionian dagger they wore (which they had purchased from the Dionian arms dealer with the permission of the Ministry of War after receiving Dionyan military training), and of course they were not using it to kill the enemy at this moment, but to cut down all kinds of branches and thorn bushes that blocked the way up the mountain.

As the soldiers quickly climbed the mountain, Poret was also reminded by Zantiparis to let the troops behind extend to the north, trying not to leave a large gap between them and Abenirum's army.

Although the two troops climbed up as if in a race, it took more than 20 minutes to climb halfway up the mountain, by which time they could already hear shouts and fighting from the other side of the mountain, and it became clearer and clearer.

The soldiers immediately cheered up, they knew that the enemy was not far from them.

Paulette also hurriedly asked the herald to tell the soldiers to find a flat place as soon as possible or stop their advance, and level the ground in place so that they could stand on their feet.

It's not just the Pothenians who are doing this, but the Abenirum are doing the same.

All the soldiers stopped their advance one after another halfway up the mountainside, and from a distance, it seemed as if they had put a crooked belt on the continuous mountains.

After more than ten minutes, the shouting became clearer, mixed with continuous exclamations and the sound of "bang-bang-bang" branches and leaves...... Although the view was obscured by the lush woods, the Lucanian soldiers knew that the enemy had crossed the ridge and was rushing towards them.

Although these mountains look relatively gentle, the slope is actually not small, as the saying goes, "it is easier to go up than to go down", but for these mountain races, it is much easier to descend than to go up, and it was not long before the Pothenian soldiers saw the enemy.

It stands to reason that fighting in the mountains, on the side of low terrain, is inherently at a disadvantage, but don't forget that the Samonai army is in the rout, so these rout soldiers who ran in the front actually slipped down lying down, they may have slipped because they pushed each other in the rout, or they thought that this method could run faster, but when they saw the enemy in front of them, these Samonai warriors who were covered in blood marks and were about to be shaken apart by weeds and branches did not even have the strength to stand up, and could only cry out in horror: "There is an enemy!" There are enemies! ……”

As a result, he was either stabbed to death by the Pothenian soldiers, or he became a prisoner of his own accord.

And then a large number of routs appeared, running in front of the Samonai rout is to take the method of running down, in order to restrain inertia and prevent falling, they have to hold the trees from time to time, so often the weapons in their hands can not be saved, either lose the shield, or throw the spear.

In the end, the rout took the form of running sideways downward, although it was slower, but it was steady, and they also became the main force to shock the Potentia line.

On Abenirum's side, the warriors were mixed when they saw their compatriots fleeing from the top of the mountain in panic, and so did Gherni. But he knew that since the war between Samonai and Dionia, there have been consecutive defeats, coupled with today's defeat, the final defeat of the entire Samonai tribal alliance is inevitable, and Abenirum can only be reborn after the end of this war by following Dionya closely, so Geirny only hesitated a little and gave the order to attack.

The heavy javelins thrown by the warriors knocked down the Samonai soldiers who were descending the mountain one by one.

"Oh my God, it's the Abenirum people!"

"If you dare to collude with outsiders and kill your own people, Savoni will punish you!"

"Abenirum people, we all belong to the Hilpinei tribe, for the sake of our people, please let us go!"

……

Angry curses, curses, and cries came out of the mouths of the rout, and the expression of the Abenirum warriors did not change, and they did not stop waving their weapons, and the blockade, suppression, and discrimination against Abenirum by the Samunai Tribal Alliance for more than ten years have borne evil results today, and the Abernirum people have a deep hatred for the other Samonai, and it is not just a few words that can dissolve this estrangement.

Samonay's rout eventually fought with the Abenirum and Pothenians who intercepted them, and in order to flee for their lives, they were inspired to fight against the terrain and once pressed the opposing line back again and again.

However, the Potentia-Abenirum line was not broken, after all, Paulet had gathered 12,000 soldiers this time, and Gherney had brought 3,000 soldiers, a total of two and a half times the strength of the opponent.

What's more, the rout soldiers are disorganized, poorly equipped, and the people are not in harmony, after a fierce attack failed to work, some of the routs retreated, after all, although they used the advantage of being good at climbing mountains to leave the Dionian pursuers behind, but now they are intercepted here by another handful of enemies, once the Dionian pursuers arrive, front and rear flank, they will have no escape, so some of the rout soldiers gave up breaking through from the front, and instead fled from the north and south, trying to bypass the enemy's interception.

It didn't take long for the collective retreat of the Samonai coalition forces to completely turn into a scattered rout......

The armies of Dionia, Poittia, and Abenirum pursued at the same time......

In the end, the Samonai coalition suffered more than 1,500 casualties, more than 3,000 were captured, and more than 1,000 fled, while the Dionian coalition suffered fewer than 400 casualties.

In the midst of the joy of victory, Zantiparis, Polett, and Gherney met Alexis, who was still in the valley.

"Zantiparis, you're not too late." Alexis tactfully expressed his dissatisfaction, knowing that after a long wait, he not only doubted whether the reinforcements could arrive, but even feared whether he could bring the troops back to the camp smoothly, and now he is still a little afraid in retrospect.

"We had some problems on the way here, and we were a little late, but it didn't stop us from winning," Zantiparis snorted.

Gherney took the initiative to take over and said apologetically: "The reason why we are late is mainly because of me......"

It turned out that after Abenirum fell to Dionia, the Ministry of War originally approved Alexis's offensive plan, pulling out the nail between Puchetti and Downey's waist - Aquilonia, and connecting the Abenirum and Copsa regions, so that the entire southern area of Hippini could be owned by Dionia, which also reduced the defensive pressure on the northern border of the kingdom.

However, in the course of the communication with Gherni, the details of the Samonai tribal alliance confided by Gherney attracted the attention of the Ministry of War, and according to the information provided by Gherney and the number of Samonai coalition troops in the first three battles (including the previous battle with Kautini), the staff officers speculated that the number of existing Samonai coalition troops is probably more than the more than the more than 10,000 Samonai coalition soldiers who are besieging Naples, so where will the thousands of Sammonai soldiers who may have been surplus? Is there some conspiracy hidden by the Samonai? …… The Minister of War, Shiros, had to think hard.

So, after communicating with Alexis in letters, a new offensive plan was formed: Alexis still led his troops from the east into the mountains to attack Aquilonia, and if the Samonians were really unable to reinforce them, then directly capture Aquilonia; If the Samonai really hid a few thousand warriors and were ready to lure the Dionian army into fighting in the mountains, then Dionya had prepared a backhand as well.

This backhand is Arnirum and Portentia.

The reaction to the joint assault on the Samonai Mountains was positive by the Grand Chieftain of Pothenia, who had already gathered 12,000 soldiers. As for Gherni, if it had been before, he would have hesitated, but the fact that the leader of Naconia, Quinduk, was booby-trapped and the entire Naconian region occupied by the Samonai coalition had reached Abenirum's territory, because to the north of Abenirum was Beneventum ruled by Lesguk, to the west was partly adjacent to the Naconian territory, and to the south was bordered by the territory of Dioonia (especially close to Kopsa), so the bloody practice of the Samonai tribal alliance breaking the tradition made him highly vigilant and afraid, It also made him determined to follow Dionia against the Samonai Tribal Alliance.
