The Tarantum reinforcements on the right flank of the Greek army were also forced to retreat, but fortunately, they had 200 cavalry waiting on the side, and the Lucalian warriors in front did not dare to chase too much, fearing that the team would be too scattered and taken advantage of by the Greek cavalry, so the retreat of the Tarantum reinforcements was also relatively smooth......

Only the Greek army was in the middle, scattered and completely disorganized......

"General Pheres, we are defeated! We are defeated!! What to do? What should I do?! ...... "The quick-witted and eloquent general who usually speaks at the town hall, Kunogorata, is panicking at the moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What else can I do!" Philis laughed miserably and said remorsefully, "It's my fault that I failed to stand up for my opinion!" It's my fault that I despise the enemy! It's my fault that I was stubborn and didn't listen to other people's advice! Turiyi has today's defeat, and it's all my fault! ”

He looked at the defeated soldiers who ran past him, and his expression became very resolute: "You go back to Turiyi quickly, and let the citizens prepare for defense!" And I bought time for Turiy in order to confess my sins to Apollo! As he spoke, he took up his shield and spear with his withered arms, pushed aside the fleeing rout, and met the surging enemy. The guards, slaves, and people he brought with him shouted, "Fight for Turiyi!" Hundreds of people surrounded the old general and went against the trend. Wherever they passed, some of the citizens of Turiyi were infected by it, and they also stopped fleeing and joined them.

Kunogorata hesitated for a moment, but finally turned his horse and fled back, reassuring himself as he ran: Feris is right, if they all die here, who will protect Turiyi!

When faced with the enemy's army, Philis led a force of 800 men. The veteran, who was over sixty years old, shouted: "Apollo! "The first to enter the enemy's formation, the people launched a counter-charge, the soldiers were not afraid of death to kill the enemy, to the surprise of the Grumentum warriors who were scattered due to the pursuit, they were almost pierced through their formation, forcing Grumentum to gather the warriors and besiege this small group of unusually heroic and tenacious Turiyi soldiers......

The most tragic scene of the battle finally came to an end, and all the 800 Turians led by Phares, were killed in the battle, and none of them escaped.

Determined to get back to Turiyi as quickly as possible, Kunogorata was nearly knocked down by the rout several times on horseback, and he was worried about the safety of the city, but he also regretted that he should not have joined the battle in the first place to gain prestige......

…………………………

The city of Turii was only five or six miles from the battlefield, and the whole city was watching this great battle that would stake the fate of the city, and every family prayed for the soldiers either at home or in the square.

When the scout fled back to the city in disarray, he shouted in panic: "We have been defeated!" We are defeated! ......", the news quickly spread throughout the city, like five thunderbolts, making the people feel that the sky was about to fall: the faint-hearted fainted immediately; The suspicious person thinks that the detective is spreading rumors, and wants to drag him off his horse and beat him severely; The pessimists proclaimed that Turii was going to perish, and told everyone to flee the city; In desperation, the scoundrels even took the opportunity to coax and fish in troubled waters, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits...... The whole city, especially the square, was full of crying, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The two most important principals of the "Nine Generals" were on the battlefield, but fortunately, dealing with last year's defeat had given the generals an experience. At the critical moment, several generals led by Neses stood up, first sent patrols to maintain order in the city, and then called on the people in the square, men, women and children, to take up arms to defend their homes. And he took the lead in leading his tribesmen and slaves up the city walls.

At this moment, several horseback nobles, led by Kunogorata, rushed across the drawbridge and into the city.

When the people heard the news immediately surrounded them and asked for news of their relatives, Kunogorata, who knew that the situation was urgent, as if he had not heard it, shouted in a hurry: "The Lucarians are about to arrive!" Close the gates! Close the gates!! Don't let them in!! Otherwise, Turiyi is finished!! ”

Neosis frowned and said, "If the gates are closed, the soldiers will not be able to enter the city!" ”

"Let them go around the walls and jump into the Klatty River. We picked them up by boat! Lucanians don't know how to swim! "Kuno Gorata has already thought of countermeasures on the road.

In the moment of panic, the appearance of Kunogorata and his suggestion immediately gave the people a backbone, and everyone thought it was feasible after discussion, so they pulled up the drawbridge, closed the city gates, and began to shout at the head of the city to the defeated soldiers who ran to the city: "Jump into the river, we have a boat to pick you up!" Jump into the river and ......."

……………………………

Davers sent Asistes back to the camp first, reported the situation of the battle, and led his troops to retreat to the camp quickly, with Ryders beside him holding high the banner to guide the whole army.

Picosis' warriors had been attacked by light shieldmen, thus distancing themselves from the mercenaries, while Grumentum was slowed down by Philis's desperate counterattack, and the mercenaries retreated smoothly without much risk. However, along the way, routs continued to rush into their ranks, and the mercenaries unceremoniously knocked them down with their shields. But the organized retreat of the Davers mercenaries, and the relatively neat appearance of the troops, naturally attracted the panicked routs, and even if the mercenaries treated them violently, they let them beat and scold, and obediently followed them like tame domestic dogs......

When the troops passed through the city of Turiyi, Davers's team became a little bloated, but he did not care, looked at the countless defeated soldiers gathered under the city of Turiyi in the distance, and then turned back to observe the movement of the pursuers, then took the flag, handed it to Arcises, and said to Rydes: "Go to the city of Turiyi, and tell the soldiers that the Lucanians are coming soon, and our camp is very strong, so that they can take refuge in our camp first." ”

Ryders took the order and left.

"All to the right!" Davers shouted loudly, and the red battle flag waving in the wind guided the troops, not entering directly through the west gate of the camp, but turning towards the south gate......

The warriors of Picosis, led by Gneinat, pursued the mercenaries closely. Ever since he became a warrior and had fought dozens of battles, he had never been so cowardly, and he had almost lost his life, and the fact that these Greeks had tried to slip away after killing his people on a large scale made him even more angry. Therefore, he has only this mercenary force in his eyes: catch up with it! Slaughter it!!

He didn't bother to bother even if the rout under Turii was closer to him, and as a result, Picosis' team collided with the Grumentum warriors who were pursuing the rout of Turiyi, and by the time the two armies finally separated, the Davers mercenaries had already entered the camp.

……………………………

After all, the generals of Turii, led by Kunogorata, had little experience on the battlefield (the only experienced ones had already died), and they thought about the problem simply.

Indeed, the shouts from the city caused some of the people to leave the city gate and jump into the Klatty River, but some of the defeated soldiers were unwilling to leave, after all, the city gate was in front of them, and they were exhausted and did not want to take a long detour to jump into the icy Klatty River. They begged and scolded under the city, and in the time of delay, the warriors of Grummentum arrived, chased and killed, and the routs could only jump if they did not want to jump into the river, but in a panic, time was in a hurry, and even the armor did not fade, and many people sank directly into the river and were drowned alive......

The people of the city wept as they watched their relatives being killed and drowned, and some women even jumped off the city wall and broke their bones to accompany their husbands who died in battle......

The hideous appearance of the Lucanian warrior and this bloody and tragic scene became a nightmare that the Turii people could not escape from in their lives......

……………………………

The Lucanians were not able to pursue in time, which made Davers breathe a sigh of relief, he did not go directly to the west gate, but went around the south gate, because he was worried that the soldiers would be slow to enter the camp. His fears were not in vain, even worse than he had imagined, and the panicked routs disrupted the order of the troops entering the camp.

Davers didn't have time to regret it, so he hurried up to the wooden wall and directly commanded the soldiers to knock out a dozen of the routs, which shocked such a panicked guy and allowed the team to enter the camp smoothly.
