But this adjutant has been sent here for almost two months. He usually spends time together, but he doesn't even remember the name of the adjutant. Fortunately, the adjutant has already understood Leotizides' personality through contact during this period. He did not care, but answered seriously: "Sir, my name is Mukru!"

"Are you a Bruti?" Leothiedes asked, looking at his different appearance from the Greeks.

"Yes, I'm from Cosenza, Bruty."

"Yes." Leotizides nodded and waved his hand: "Go and pass the order quickly."

"Yes." The adjutant quickly turned around and left the tent, but a smile appeared on his face. Based on his understanding of the commander, he knew that he had been recognized by his colleagues in the Military Affairs Department as "the most severe commander of the Legion."

In fact, the identity of the adjutant Mukru is not simple. He followed Hironimus to participate in the Battle of Crotone at the age of eighteen and was injured. After the war, he was also greeted by King Davers. Later, he officially joined the Fifth Army and participated in the kingdom's wars for more than ten years. He has made many military achievements and is almost promoted to the captain of the brigade, but he asked to go to the Staff Office of the Military Affairs Department to study. For the senior team officers of the Dionia, there are few who take the initiative to ask for further study, which is very rare, so even though he is over 30 years old, Phyllissius made an exception to transfer him to the Staff Office.

After being transferred to the Staff Office, Mukru won the praise of his colleagues for his consistent diligence and hard work. This time, given the importance of this war, Filicius reluctantly sent this capable and steady subordinate. Now it seems that he finally met the demands of Leotizides who was difficult to serve.

………………………………………

The 15,000 soldiers led by Leotizides this time included 8,000 formal soldiers of the Eighth Legion, 5,000 heavy infantry, nearly 1,000 light infantry, and 1,000 cavalry of the Fourth Cavalry Legion (the Fourth Cavalry Legion has always been a shortage due to the population of Sicily territory and war horses).

The soldiers of the Eighth Legion were extremely excited when they heard that there was a war. The war to pacify the Sikels two years ago gave the soldiers a lot of rewards. They had been eager to make new contributions, and now the opportunity has come!

The soldiers of the reserve team are looking forward to performing well in the upcoming battle and adding a strong mark to their military resume so that they can successfully transform into formal legion soldiers.

Under the leadership of the team officials, the soldiers ran to the foot of the mountain in an orderly and quickly and began to arrange the chessboard-formed formation.

As soon as the formation was completed, the soldiers heard a huge noise coming from the front.

The chaotic and thunderous footsteps are getting louder and louder...

Soon, they saw the black and storm-like mountain torrents pouring down to the low ground in heavy rain, roaring towards them.

Some of the Dionian recruits began to swallow with some nervousness.

"Order each team to quickly arrange the shield formation!" Diocasses, who was still inspector of Naxos two years ago, is now the company captain of the first company of the 1st Battalion of the Eighth Legion, and he calmly gave the order.

Other team officials also issued similar orders one after another.

This time, Dionia's shield formation was different from the past. The soldiers of each squad not only erected the shields in the front, back, left and right periphery of the small square formation, but also laid the guns in front, back, left and right directions flat, like hedgehogs with firm thorns standing up.

At the same time, the soldiers continued to shout: "Walk from the gap!!!Walk from the gap!!!..."

In order to facilitate the retreat of the defeated troops, the interval between the small square arrays of the Eighth Legion's squadrons was much wider than that during normal training.

When I saw the densely placed spears, as long as I was not a fool, I would not rush upwards on my own initiative. Moreover, there were voices reminding the defeated soldiers. There were light armored soldiers in front of me to guide them. Naturally, the defeated soldiers split into streams of streams in front of Dionia's formation, and ran to the rear along the gap between the small square arrays.

Of course, some defeated soldiers hit the shield wall due to pushing and panic, and were stabbed by the stabbing gun, making shrill screams, but the soldiers of the Dionians would not withdraw the stabbing gun and rescue the wounded soldiers. They stood firm in their positions and remained motionless. The screams of their companions would warn others to stop in front of the shield and not to bump around.

"Catch up! Don't let them run away!" Millefio, who was riding on the horse, followed the Holy Regiment troops and rushed forward. He shouted excitedly, regardless of whether the soldiers running around could hear it.

He sat high on the horse and could see that the soldiers of the Holy Regiment were well-trained. Even after the victory, they could still maintain a relatively complete formation, pushing forward like a red tide. Of course, this was related to the fact that most of the enemies fled directly backwards and did not run around in scatters.

Whether it was Monte Adno or Milefio, they only knew that the Dionian coalition built camps on the hills on the east bank of the Pletala River, but what was the specific arrangement? What kind of terrain was here? They were not very clear. On the one hand, it was because they did not actively obtain the strong awareness of the surrounding environment and enemy information on the battlefield. On the other hand, under the long-term influence of the "Dionian Military Law", Leotizides had the initiative to protect the military secrets of his army from being leaked. Therefore, while building the camp, he sent all the reconnaissance cavalry and mountain reconnaissance teams, and even some light armored soldiers patrolled around the camp, expelling Carthage's spies, and blocking the information about the area around the camp.

Therefore, when Millefio, who was in the middle of the battlefield, was chasing the enemy excitedly, he did not know very well that there was a hill on both sides of it, one mile away, and there was an enemy's barracks on it. What he didn't know was that there was a larger hill three miles ahead, blocking their way forward, and the army of the real enemy of Carthage, the army of Dionys, was stationed on this hill. Now, these three hills were like huge crabs, waiting for the defeated soldiers to introduce the uninformed Carthage people into its hungry mouth.

The company led by Diocasis was divided into four small square formations, with two in the front and two in the back. Diocasis stood in the center of a square formation behind, and through the gap between the square formations in front, he focused on the situation of the defeated soldiers.

Suddenly, his eyes shrank, and through the gap between the Allied soldiers who were disguised, he saw the Carthaginians wearing gorgeous armor.
