There is defeat in battle and there is victory, and there is pain and joy. While the soldiers of the coalition army taste the bitter fruits of defeat, the Syracuse people were enjoying the joy of victory.

In Dionysius's tent, the candles were brightly lit, and the generals gathered together, and while having a meal, they talked about today's battle...

"Don't fight! The most important contributor to our victory today should be Phoebidas!" Dionysius was in the head, looked around, pointed at Phoebidas, and said loudly: "I really didn't expect that the general of Dionyya had arranged so many soldiers on their left wing. If Phoebidas had not adopted the correct response method, I'm afraid that our reinforcements would not arrive, our right wing would be defeated by the enemy!"

"Sir, what I said is right!" Fasce Persas immediately agreed, "When I led the army to attack the enemy's flank, I was very surprised at that time, because the enemy's array thickness... some of them reached more than 50 rows, which I had never seen before... the length of the stacked one was enough... enough-" Fasce Persas couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, and gestured with his hand, saying, "It's longer than this big tent! But such a powerful force squeezed our right wing, not only did it not defeat the right wing, but it exhausted the enemy! So I led the soldiers with just a small charge, and the enemy was easily defeated!..."

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

Although Phoebidas felt a little satisfied, he did not boast about himself in public. The Spartans would not do such a superficial approach. Moreover, he was just fighting for the Syracuses, and glory was meaningless. He was just enjoying the fun of this kind of war, and at the forefront of the battlefield, he was so tired that he didn't want to talk more.

"Leptenes, your performance this time was beyond my expectations!" Dionysius looked at his brother and said with relief: "When the mercenary army led by Endidimenas was blocked, you did not escape, but bravely took on the responsibility, repelled the enemy who came to intercept, and ensured the smooth attack on the enemy's right wing rear. You made great contributions to our victory in this battle! In addition, your fleet also attacked boldly and won the first result after our victory - Trina!"

Dionysius praised Leptenes without hesitation, not only because of his brother's performance, but also to show those who criticized him as nepotism that Dionysius's correct strategy for using people.

"Sir, thanks to General Leptines' help this time!" Endimenus took the opportunity to tout Leptines, and at the same time wanted to defend his mistake: "I did not expect that when the battle was so fierce, the Greeks retained a force and did not put it into battle, but launched a sudden attack on us..."

"So it's not easy for us to win this battle. That Dionysian general is not simple!" Dionysus sighed a little. You should know that he saw his elite troops backwards step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step in the rear of the middle array. Moreover, after the war statistics, there were more than 1,000 casualties among the middle soldiers, which really surprised him and made him feel worried: "It's a pity that we couldn't keep more Dionysian soldiers..."

As soon as these words were said, the two mercenary cavalry leaders were a little ashamed and more straightforward in their personality, Gaba, the leader of Celtic, defended himself in a strange Greek pronunciation: "We did our best, but the soldiers of the Dionians did not escape at all, but instead lined up to fight with us. We lost...a lot of people..."

“那些戴奥尼亚人拉长阵列,守住河岸,逼迫我们跟他们进行正面战斗,骑兵正面跟重步兵厮杀是很困难的……”阿溪里塔也在一旁做着辩解.

Dionysius glanced at them. He just wanted to hit these two unruly alien leaders, but he didn't want to break up with them: "Anyway, you dragged down more than a thousand soldiers in Dionya and eventually wiped out and captured them, including a legion commander. I think this is probably the biggest military loss of the Dionya League since its establishment!"

"Sir, that's because Dionia was not as old as my youngest son!" Another general of Syracuse, Astargras, sneered: "Next we will give them more failures until the alliance is completely destroyed!"

阿斯塔格拉斯的话引起了众人的笑声.

Amid the laughter, a cold voice rang out in the seat on the left of Dionysius: "I looked at the weapons left on the battlefield among the Dionys. To be honest, I think you will not be able to take advantage of even if you fight with the Dionys' legion infantry again."

These words aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone in the tent.

“斯巴达人,你也太高看戴奥尼亚人了!”阿斯塔格拉斯不客气的喊道.

“我说的是事实.”菲比达斯无视众人的不满,毫不客气的说道.

At the same time, he strode out of the seat, regardless of other people's strange gazes, and took a pose of heavy infantry attack, and said seriously: "According to the traditional habit of heavy infantry fighting, the round shield in the left hand is used for both defense and impact; and the stabbing gun in the right hand, I can lift it up and pass it over the round shield to stab the opponent; once the stabbing gun is broken, I draw out the curved saber to chop... However, the combat method of the soldiers of the Dionian Legion is different from ours. I brought the long shield and short sword used by the Dionian Legion soldiers, but unfortunately I was forcibly left outside the tent by the guards."

Speaking of this, Phoebidas did not forget to secretly mock Dionysius, because Dionysius was good at assassination and was also wary of being assassinated by others. He had been assassinated many times in the past, so he was very cautious in this regard. He once stipulated that anyone who wanted to meet him and discuss matters with him must be searched by the guards, and weapons were not allowed to be carried.

Once, another of his brothers (he sent to serve as the tyrant of his neighbor) came to the palace to meet him. When talking about an important matter, he asked the guards for a spear and prepared to draw a map on the ground. As a result, Dionysus was furious and immediately executed the guards.

此时,狄奥尼修斯没有在意菲比达斯的讽刺,他对他接下来要说的话更感兴趣,大度的下令:“去把戴奥尼亚的短剑和长盾拿进来.”

When the dagger and the long shield were placed in front of Phoebidas, he picked up the long shield with his left hand and protected him in front of his chest. He commented: "Dionia's long shield is long enough to better protect the soldier's body, so the soldier does not have to spend his energy to worry about defense, but can focus on how to kill the enemy."

Phoebedas said, using the dagger to stab. After stabbing a few times, he inserted the dagger to the wooden table, and then heard a "sneer", the entire sword tip was completely pierced.

"What a sharp short sword!" Leptines, who was sitting next to Phoebidas, exclaimed, curiously went over and pulled out the short sword, and looked carefully: the blade of the short sword had some small gaps, and the tip of the sword was also a little curved. It can be seen that after many weapons impacts, it still made people feel chilled.

"This dagger is too short! Before the Dionians stabbed my soldiers with it, we had already stabbed the other party to death with the stabbing gun!" Astargeras retorted forcibly.

"Yes, it is relatively short. However, with the protection of the Dionian soldiers, the spear may not necessarily hurt him. Once both sides are pushing, the spear cannot be used, and this spear can easily stab the other party..." Phoebidas held the long shield and looked at the spear in Leptines's hand, and was very uneasy: the round shield and the spear of the Greek square formation was combined with the spear of the spear. This set of heavy infantry tactics has been proven to be so effective after hundreds of years of inheritance, and it is difficult to match other countries in the Mediterranean region. A city-state alliance that has just been established for a few years can develop another set of heavy infantry equipment and tactics in such a short time, and can fight against the traditional ones, which makes him feel terrible!

It turned out that it was because of weapons and equipment! Dionysius was a little excited. He thought that his most elite army was not as good as the newly built legion of Dionys, and he was really hit. Now, after listening to Phoebidas' analysis, he suddenly realized that as long as it is not a problem with the quality of soldiers, it can be made up for it.

"Pheebidas, what do you think if you meet Dionia's legion infantry next time?" Dionysius humbly asked the Spartan for advice.

"From the weapons and equipment of the Dionian soldiers, there is no advantage when the middle distance is stalemate with our heavy infantry. But once the two sides are close to each other, the short sword and the long shield can play the greatest role. This requires us not to push tactics when fighting in a square formation, but to leave a certain distance for the soldiers in the forefront. Using the dense gun array, the infantry of the Dionian Legion dare not get too close, so that the Syracuse soldiers can use their skillful spear technique to gain the upper hand in the stabbing of both sides..." After carefully referring to the battlefield, Phoebidas was thinking about how to deal with the impact of this new type of heavy infantry. After all, he had never really fought with the Dionian Legion face to face, but was just a speculation based on his years of combat experience.

But this was enough to relieve Dionysius. He said to his generals: "Have you heard it all! Next time we fight with the soldiers of the Dionys, we will deal with them according to Phoebidas's method!"

Fasces, Astagras and other Syracuse will lead and say yes, of course, this is mostly barely dealt with.
