Klotocatax's unintentional words crossed Printors' mind like a ray of light, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he slapped his thigh vigorously: "It is true that mercenaries are not capable of carrying out such large-scale deception, but there is a city-state in Greece itself that often uses such tactics to achieve victory!" ”

Klotocatax, who had been in the General Staff, was not lacking in military knowledge, and he blurted out: "You mean the Spartans?!" ”

"That's right, it's the Spartans! We've fallen for Agesilauth! Printors said with some annoyance, "No wonder their left wing has not behaved well so far, because they are not Spartan warriors at all, they are just dressed in the costume of Spartan warriors, and the real Spartan warriors are still using this little trick to confuse us with this little trick on the right wing that they are most familiar with!" ”

Klotocatax understood, and he tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart, but the anxious mood still penetrated the words: "Quick...... Send a herald and immediately inform ...... Keti ...... Captain of the Legion of Quethus! Tell him that there are Spartan warriors on the other side, and they are cheating! Don't chase! Watch out for their counterattack! ”

"We also need to send another herald to inform the commanders of Trotilas and Oliver respectively, so that they can seize the great opportunity of the defeat of the Spartan warriors and the disorganized formation, and increase the intensity of the attack, maybe they can find a breakthrough in our center and right flank!"

Printors' suggestion was quickly taken by Klotocatax, and he gradually regained his composure, and said happily: "Lord Printors, thanks to you for discovering the Spartan conspiracy in time!" Now it seems that if we deal with it in time, the Spartans' deception will make the battle more favorable to us, right? ”

Klotocators' words once again stunned Printors: with the ability of Agosilaus, is it worth taking such a big risk and not getting a good benefit?

He suddenly remembered something, and shouted, "Bring me the battle map again!" ”

Taking the plank from the staff officer, Printols' sharp gaze quickly swept over the map, finally focusing on the blue vertical bar in the corner, with a small line written underneath: 4,000-5,000 Tegya allies.

Printors finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from: "We received news that Tegea was attacked by the Spartan army, and suffered heavy casualties, and if we don't rescue it, we are afraid that it will be captured...... But how can Tegeya, who is in such a bad situation, send so many soldiers into battle?! ”

Klotokataz's heart was shocked, and he immediately had a terrible thought, and couldn't help but shudder: "You mean to say...... The Tegurans lied to us, they were actually acting with the Spartans, but the corpses ......"

"Your Highness, we don't have time to go into the details!" Printors poked the map in his hand and said anxiously: "Now that Tegea's army appears in the rear of the First Legion, I am sure that they will join the Spartan army to flank the First Legion in the front and rear, this is the real conspiracy of Agesilaus, we must rescue immediately!" ”

"Ah...... Yes, rescue ......" Clotokataz's mind went blank at the thought of the possible consequences.

"Hurry up and inform the Seventh Legion, immediately rush to the left flank, and rescue the First Legion!" Printors eagerly gave orders on his behalf.

The herald who received the order subconsciously looked at Klotokatax.

Crotokatus waved his hand and said eagerly: "Execute according to the order given by Chief of Staff Printols!" ”

The herald turned his horse's head and galloped to the rear.

Not long after, Tegatinos rode over and asked, "We haven't received any news from the Tegurs attacking the First Legion, these are just your speculations, if the Tegurans don't mutiny at all, wouldn't our Seventh Legion have to run in vain!" If there is another anomaly elsewhere at this time, the Seventh Legion will not have time to rescue! ”

"If you get the news that the Tigyans are attacking the First Legion and go to the rescue, then it's too late! If something goes wrong, I'm willing to take responsibility! Printors replied without flinching.

"I gave the order." Klotocatax stared at Tegtinos, and although the volume was not loud, it could not be refused: "Do it immediately, Captain Tegtinos." ”

Tegatinos didn't want to say anything more, glared at Printors, and then hurriedly gave a military salute on his horse: "Yes, Lord Commander, may Hades bless you!" ”

Then he returned from his horse, and his roar could still be heard from afar: "Brothers, your chance to make meritorious service has arrived!" All the spirit points, follow me, and accelerate towards the left flank of the military formation! ”

"Roar! Roar!! Roar!!! ……”

Looking at the billowing dust and smoke raised by the soldiers of the Seventh Legion, Klotokatax calmed down for a moment and said seriously: "Lord Printors, I trust your judgment!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" With a wry smile, Printors whispered, "I wish I had been wrong. ”

……………………………………………………

"Congratulations, Legionnaire, our First Legion has routed the enemy's right flank!" The captain of the guard excitedly congratulated Kthisus.

Although Ketissus was excited, he was also a little puzzled: "Strange, we still thought that the enemy on the opposite side was not simple, and the First Legion was afraid that it would encounter a hard battle, and there was no obvious sign, and victory came suddenly." Putrice, what do you think is the reason for this? ”

Ketissus was asking his staff officer.

"Captain, I think...... It is still necessary to inform the companies not to be busy chasing and defeating the enemy, but to control their soldiers first, maintain the formation, and pursue cautiously to prevent accidents! Putrice cautiously advised.

Ketisus hesitated, after all, it was not easy to defeat the strong enemy, and if he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but slowed down the pace of pursuit, he would give the scattered enemy a chance to breathe, and the previous battle would be in vain......

At this time, the scouts of the First Legion hurriedly came to report: "Report to the Legion Commander, that Tegea's army is rapidly approaching us!" ”

"These shameless Tegeans! Before, we didn't come out to help when we fought hard, but now when we see that the enemy is defeated, we run out again to pick up the credit! Phew! Chysus spat and looked disdainfully at the rear of the trumpet, through the gray dust and mist, he could already see more clearly the tegea flag and the black-pressed crowd, and the front of the team was rapidly stretching to the sides......

Kritisus, who had been on the battlefield for decades, suddenly had a very bad feeling, and he couldn't help but shout: "The Tigurans are too close to us!" Go and tell them at once, tell them not to follow us, and to go somewhere else to fight the Spartans! ”

After the herald took the order, Kthisus still muttered with some uneasiness: "The situation is a little wrong, looking at the posture of the Tegyas, it doesn't look like they are here to pick up cheap, but want to charge......"

"Commander, you still have to be careful, although Tegea is already our ally, we don't know anything about it, and we have never fought together." Putrice reminded with some concern.

Listening to the words of the staff officer, Quethsus finally stopped hesitating, and he immediately gave the order: "Inform the company in the rear of the army formation to immediately stop advancing, line up in the rear, and prepare for defense!" ”

Five or six heralds rode out at the same time, rushing to the front to give orders to the company that was still running.

"Commander, some of the soldiers are defending on the spot, and some of the soldiers are still pursuing...... In this way, the forces of our First Legion will be scattered, so it is better to simply stop the entire Legion from advancing! Again, Putrice suggested.

Hurtisus did not expect that he would face such a difficult choice in the first battle when he became the commander of the army: part of the defense, part of the pursuit, not only to prevent danger, but to expand the results of the battle, but will lead to the dispersion of forces, there is a great risk; And the entire legion stopped the pursuit and defended on the spot, what if the Tegurans had no ill will towards the First Legion? Then the victory in hand will fly away, what a pity......

This is one of the reasons why Ketisus has always been reluctant to be the commander of the legion: it is too much trouble to choose!

But soon he would not be distressed any longer, for he saw with his own eyes that the herald who had stopped the Teguran army suddenly turned over and fell from his horse, and fell to the ground motionless, with a javelin stuck in his body.

"The Tegurans are enemies! Immediately blow the trumpet, and the whole army stops advancing! Quethusus shouted eagerly.

Originally, he and his staff officer led the Guards, the Scout Cavalry, the Mountain Reconnaissance Squad, the Herald Squad, and the Bugle Squad...... Following the advance of the First Army, the situation is now critical, and it is even more desperate to rush forward, otherwise the command center of the First Army will directly face the impact of the Tigeya army.

"Woohoo! …… Whining! ......"At the same time as the trumpet of the First Legion sounded, the Tegyas also let out an earth-shattering roar, speeding up their advance. At this time, they were only more than 200 meters away from the company where the First Army was lagging behind.

After receiving the order of Cytesus, the officers of these companies and detachments seized the time to gather the somewhat scattered soldiers, reorganize the ranks, and where there was still time to form a unified defensive line, countless Tegurans poured over like a tide, and rushed into the first legion like a sieve, as if to drown all the Dionian soldiers.

"Shield Defense!"

"Brothers, don't panic! Hold on to the defense, our reinforcements will soon come! ”

But in the midst of this chaos, the hysterical shouts of the officers of the First Army were constantly heard, and the small detachment phalanx stood like rocks in the tide.
