Seeing that the wound in his abdomen was huge, and he could even see the intestines inside, Davers knew that there was little life, but he couldn't bear to give up, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Send him to the medical camp of Menon Barracks, and say that Davers let him send him." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Medical camp?"

"Oh, I know!" An answer was made, so the soldiers carried the wounded and prepared to go south through the Clearchus barracks. Others looked at Davers in confusion.

Davos said to them anxiously: "Go and inform the garrison officers of the various military camps, that the Persians have broken their promise and slaughtered the Greek soldiers, and that the leaders who went to the meeting may have been captured by the Persians, and let them gather the soldiers and prepare for battle!" ”

The soldiers immediately ran towards their respective barracks.

"What happened to Davers?!" At this time, Xenophon rushed to the camp gate.

Davers quickly told him what had happened.

Xenophon's expression was gloomy, and his eyes were full of remorse: "I also persuaded Proxinus before, but he didn't listen to it, and I didn't insist...... Well, Proxinus is afraid he's ......," Xenophon's trembling voice choked a little.

Davers nodded silently.

Xenophon looked at the Persian cavalry galloping in front of him, and exclaimed, "We should gather the whole army at once!" Attack the Persian camp and rescue Proxinus and them! ”

"It's not a good idea!" As he spoke, a sturdy middle-aged man walked over: "Although the soldiers have fought with the Persians many times before, we have been living in peace with them during this time. Now you suddenly have to go to war with the Persians, and the soldiers will find it difficult for them to accept for a while, let alone besiege the Persian barracks. ”

"At least the Persian cavalry in front should be driven away, and maybe some of the soldiers who went out can be rescued!" Davers reminded.

The man glanced at him and asked, "Who are you?" ”。

"Soldier Davers of Menon Barracks."

"What to do is the officer's business, you don't need a soldier to guide you!" The man scolded angrily.

Davers stopped talking.

"Xenophon, you go back to your barracks at once, and inform Agacia to bring the troops over immediately." He gave another order to Xenophon.

Xenophon answered, turned and walked back, and Davers immediately followed him, and after asking Seprophon, he learned that the man was Clarcus' aide-de-camp, Timason.

The assembly of the camp of Clearcus was very slow, and the soldiers came out of the tent one by one, wearing armor and chatting with each other, apparently not knowing the danger they were facing, and Timasong was so anxious that he stepped forward and beat and scolded, and finally gathered about five hundred soldiers.

Before Davers and Xenophon left the camp of Clearcus, the officers of the other camps arrived with a small number of soldiers: Crianos from the camp of Achillas, Zantiparis from the camp of Socrates, and Agacia from Proxinus...... The Menon barracks was the most crowded, with Adjutant Phellisius, Squadron Leaders Antonios, Kaps, etc., and of course the Shilos squad among the soldiers. Their arrival emboldened Davers.

After everyone converged, some of the officers did not know exactly what had happened, and several squadron leaders in Menon Barracks, led by Antonios, asked in unison for Davers to tell the story, on the grounds that he had witnessed the whole thing with his own eyes.

Some of the officers, led by Timason, were surprised: Davers was just an ordinary young soldier, and why all the officers at Meron's Barracks showed respect for him.

Others, however, looked at Davers with curiosity, because some of the soldiers who had returned to deliver the message had made a great deal of publicity: Davers, the god of Menon's barracks, had prevented Clearchus from going to the Persian camp for talks, and the chiefs had not listened to the "oracle" and had suffered calamity. Soon it became known to everyone.

So, in the face of everyone's complicated gaze, Davers calmly will go through a brief explanation.

The officers quickly agreed: immediately drive out the Persian cavalry in front of the barracks, so that the soldiers who had gone out could return without a hitch.

The soldiers began to line up, and Davers returned to the Shilos squad. At this time, Antonios, who was at the front of the queue, shouted: "Davers, come to the front!" ”

Davers was stunned.

Then Capps began to shout.

"Go ahead." Shilos nudged him encouragingly, and his teammates looked at him excitedly.

Davers understood. His heart beat faster, but he didn't refuse, and squeezed forward with great difficulty, and the soldiers took the initiative to make way for him.

"Your position is here." Antonios pulled him to the left of Phellisius, the front of Menon's army, and said to him earnestly: "There may be negotiations with the Persians in a moment, we need your guidance!" ”

Antonios said to Phellisius, "Philip, take care of him for us!" ”

Phellisius replied without hesitation: "Rest assured, leave it to me!" ”

Standing in the position of the phalanx commander for the first time, Davers was both excited and a little unnatural, and he turned his head to look at Phellisius, who happened to be looking at him, and gave him a gentle smile in return.

Having had several contacts with Felicius and learned about him through Antonios and others, Davers had a preliminary impression of Felicius: the forty-five-year-old Thessalian was a good old man who was proficient in military affairs and did not like to compete for fame and fortune. If you think about it, you can understand that the extremely controlling Menon will certainly not choose an equally ambitious person to be his lieutenant, you must know that he often goes out, befriends the Persian magnates, accepts some mercenary assignments, and the affairs in the barracks must be presided over and handled, and after a long time, there is a danger that the soldiers will only recognize the adjutant and not him, so the good-natured Phellisius is his carefully selected adjutant. And at this moment, it was undoubtedly cheaper for Davers, because Felicius did not have any objections to the young man standing in the position of commander, and his attitude was also friendly.

The Greek mercenaries in front of the camp consisted of about 700 heavy infantry and 200 light infantry, with heavy infantry in front and light infantry in the rear. The Persian cavalry did not press up, but retreated, the fighting gradually became quieter, and the dust and fog in front of them gradually dissipated. From time to time, dusty Greek soldiers ran back to the barracks, but more were moaning comrades and corpses on the ground, and the soldiers' grief and fear were growing.

"The enemy is coming." Phellisius whispered.

I saw a Persian team appear in front of them, slowly walking towards them. Davers was nervous and excited: Could it be that his first battle was about to begin?

When the two armies were about two hundred meters apart, a troop of cavalry on the opposite side rushed out to the front of the Greek army and shouted in Greek: "Listen to the Greeks on the other side, let your generals and captains come forward and listen to me read the king's will!" ”

There was a commotion in the Greek phalanx, and the officers whispered to each other, but none of them stepped forward, the tragic situation of the soldiers who had just been attacked was too impressive to them, and the previous breach of promise by Persia was alarming.

The Persians shouted again, but the Greek formation remained calm.

At this moment, a man stepped out of the military formation, armed with a brass shield and a spear, and walked forward unhurriedly.

"Who's that?! How daring!! ”

"That's Davers in our barracks! The Divine Favor of Hades! ”

"Is it true?"

"Oh, he's so young!!"

……

The soldiers of the battalions were chatting curiously, and while the officers were still hesitating, Phellisius chased after them, who had promised Antonios and them to keep Davers safe. Then Xenophon also walked out of the formation, and the young Davers dared to step forward, how could he lag behind.

"What a mess!" Timason scolded to hide his embarrassment, and strode forward. Subsequently, more than a dozen team officers such as Zantiparis, Criano, and Agacia walked up one after another.

The reason why Davers did this was not that he was not afraid of the attack of the Persian cavalry, but that he knew that when the mercenaries were facing great difficulties and the soldiers were panicking, only those who dared to take risks and responsibilities could be embraced by the soldiers, and even forget his youth and inexperience.

He didn't walk fast, and he was only slightly relieved to see that the other officers were catching up, and then he found that the palms of the hands holding the weapon were full of sweat.
