But this did not stop the Greek heavy infantry from advancing, but instead forced them to sprint forward desperately. They all remembered the words of the team officials in the pre-war war: "You should rush forward regardless of your strength. As long as you catch up with those timid enemies of Kautini and prevent them from throwing javelins, then we will be safe!"

The third wave of javelin attacks from the Kauteni Army did not arrive immediately because the distance was too close, not to mention that there was no time to throw, not to mention that there was no time to exchange positions with the warriors who had just thrown in the front.

After the war started, the Kauteni warriors and even the Samone warriors led by their tribal leaders, although they generally followed the traditional combat routines, their actions were basically free. They could choose whether to attack or retreat according to changes in the battlefield situation. Because their formation was very loose and the interval was relatively large, the entire military formation flowed flexibly during the combat process.

Now all the Kauteni warriors (including the great leader Segovani) have begun to turn around and run back. They are not afraid of such an enemy attack, because they firmly believe that the Greeks cannot escape them. When the distance is opened and the Greeks have no physical strength, it will be time for them to attack at will.

Compared with the heavy infantry in the middle, the coalition infantry who were lightly on both wings sprinted faster. The Kauteni warriors only threw the first round of javelins, causing some damage, and had to start retreating. In fact, in terms of the equipment of both sides, they could rush up to fight with the other side, but based on the habit of long-term combat (the javelins were used to cause chaos to the other side and then fight close together), and the fear of being entangled and being surrounded by the enemy, these tribe leaders were not so selfless, allowing the soldiers of their own tribe to attract the enemy for others.

At both ends of the army, there were no Campanian soldiers in front of them. These Dionian citizens from the mountains of Lucania stepped on their strong legs and ran with no enemy blocking them. In fact, their positions were almost level with the most frontal warriors in the Cauteni on the inside, but they did not turn to the inside to attack, but continued to move forward.

The Campanian cavalry, originally on the outside of the left wing, were faster, and the running horses had brought them to the back of the Kautini army, but they did not have the courage to directly intercept hundreds of retreating enemies, but just waved their lances and approached them from the side, trying to force them to walk in the middle, thereby blocking the paths of enemies in other positions and delaying the retreat speed of the entire army.

But after the Kautini soldiers threw a javelin and shot down more than a dozen cavalrymen, these Campanian cavalry no longer dared to get close to the enemy.

It was supposed to be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly it turned into a large-scale race. On the long front that lasted more than three miles, both the Dionian coalition and the Kauteni warriors were running with all their might, causing the ground to rumble and dust to fly everywhere.

After a period of running, the Dionia heavy infantry, who had begun to pant, heard the team officials panting and shouting: "Take...drop the long shield...drop the long shield!"

They did it without hesitation, and once the heaviest long shield was thrown away, they just held the spear and felt relaxed in their bodies. Their speed was maintained, and the distance from the Kautini warrior was not widened.

This was originally an established plan. Under the influence of it, the heavy infantry of Campania also threw away the round shields in their hands one after another under the leadership of the generals led by Earos.

The Campania heavy infantry, who did not wear a helmet and did not hold a round shield, was indeed a little uncomfortable at first, but they gradually adapted as they kept running.

The Kautini warriors thought that the Greeks would stop as usual after a charge, but they did not expect that the other party would run away without stopping. Although they saw that the other party threw away their helmets and shields in their eyes, this is the best time to attack with a javelin, but the two sides were too close to each other, and it took some preparation time to throw a javelin. In this short few seconds, the enemy might rush to the front. With the entire army retreating, no tribe leader would take the initiative to let the people stop and attack. They would just think: faster, faster! Run for a while, these iron cans would lose their energy!...

But in fact, the first person who felt physically weak was the Kauteni warriors. They were eager to rescue Lola, marched all the way, without rest or eating, and were already very tired when they arrived here. In addition, they ran nervously again, and their muscles began to ache. The reason why they were still persisting was that the tenacious character of the mountain people was playing a role. In order to make themselves run, they also began to throw away the long shield in their hands...

Segovani never expected that the enemy, with the main force of the Campanians, would take such a way to fight the enemy, and they were still dealing with different enemies in the previous combat methods. When he felt sore and breathing, and the guards around him were breathing like thunder, he suddenly realized that the enemy's strange attack might be hitting their weakness, but at this moment, it was impossible for him to stop and counterattack, because the battle had begun, and the whole army was running and could not convey the order at all.

The dizziness caused by fatigue caused by ischemia in the brain made Segovani unable to think carefully, so he simply became ruthless: Let's compare who can run away!

After a period of running, the entire Dionian coalition army formation has become a huge crescent formation behind the middle lane, and the two wings burst into pieces, and the array is no longer continuous, and there are many gaps, especially in the middle lane, which makes Zantiparis's entourage who is following the team feel worried: "General... if you run like this, the gap in the middle lane will... become wider and wider. If the enemy takes the opportunity to attack... it will be troublesome! Do you want... to let the light armored brigade launch an attack now?"

Segovani was no longer able to command the entire Kauteni army, and Zantiparis could not, but he could still order the army of Dionia, especially the light armored soldiers at both ends, because he had been in contact with them with scouts.

His men were paying attention to the heavy infantry in front, while he was riding on the horse and staring at the Kautini soldiers in front. Their shaking backs and the heavy pace made him feel the difficulty of running. The most important thing was that they had not been able to distance themselves from their soldiers.

It can be seen that he has achieved results in this tactic. Both sides have consumed their physical strength, but for the Kauteni warriors, they have lost the speed that has caused the most headache for the Campanian soldiers.

Therefore, he said confidently: "Don't worry, let them continue to chase."

Zantiparis was not afraid of the Kautini soldiers stopping to attack, because the close fighting was exactly what the coalition forces hoped. Even if they tore through the coalition forces' formation, he still believed that the final victory belonged to the coalition forces, because his greatest confidence came from the 4,000 Lucanian reserve soldiers, all of whom he personally selected, had a strong body, had a rigorous training, and was familiar with the Legion system of Dionia. His fighting spirit would not be shaken by the chaos of friendly forces, but could gain an advantage in the melee with his strict organization.

Moreover, Zantiparis has one hope, one that can completely change the entire battle.

Zantiparis' eyes searched the densely packed Kauteni warriors in front of him: there was red everywhere, which ones were the Naconian warriors?!

At this time, 500 tribal warriors from Avangum, the second largest tribe in Naconia, were located in the middle of the left side of the Kautini army. Vasonk was not idle when he retreated. On the one hand, he sent his subordinates to gather the soldiers to prevent them from running away; on the other hand, he also let his subordinates convey his hints.

The continued relentless pursuit of the Dionian coalition allowed Vasonic to see the Greeks' determination to fight (which was rarely seen in previous battles with the Campanians), and he was worried that if he continued to run like this, if the Kautini army really got rid of the Dionian coalition, they would lose the great opportunity to escape from being controlled by Segovani.

Since he could no longer contact other Naconian tribes, he might as well do it alone!... Vasonk decided not to wait anymore. He took a deep breath, resolutely held the spear in his hand high in the air, and shouted angrily: "Nakonians, revenge!"

Around the surroundings, the already prepared guards immediately shouted: "Nakonians, revenge!!"

Then the other Naconian warriors responded, shouting and stabbed their spears at the other nearby warriors of the Kautini tribe.

Before the war, the leaders of the neighboring tribes also privately accepted the order of Segovani to surveillance and alert the Naconian tribe. However, after the war, the soldiers were all focused on retreating. Because the Dionian coalition was rushing to catch up, they had no energy to care about anything else, and at the same time they gradually lost their defense against the Naconian soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the warriors of the Avangum tribe launched an attack on the surroundings and stabbed many Kauteni warriors. The other Kauteni warriors were shocked, and their first reaction was not to counterattack, but to bypass these crazy Naconian warriors and continue to retreat, because they did not forget that there were enemies chasing them behind them.

But they all avoided the outside, which naturally blocked the retreat of the soldiers behind, causing this suddenly chaotic area to spread out.
