Chapter 36: Operation Decapitation

He briefly stated his plan, and Phellisius looked at him in amazement. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Will it work?!" Davers urged.

Phellisius thought about it carefully and said hesitantly, "...... It should work, but it doesn't have to work. ”

"No plan is guaranteed to be 100% successful, but if you don't try, you won't even stand a chance!" Davers decisively summoned the Shiros Escort and told them in detail about his plan. Out of trust in Davers, they agreed to this risky plan without hesitation.

Who knows, Davers finally added: "This time I'll go with you!" ”

"No! Davers, you're the boss, you can't take any chances! Felicius immediately objected.

"It's only a hundred meters back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, it's back, what's the danger!

What's more, I am still a 'god', blessed by Hades. If I die, doesn't that mean that this 'divine one' is not reliable! Davers smiled persistently and freely, and then pointed to Shilos and said, "You are my good brothers." Now, I'm joining this assault as a member of the Shilos Squad! "So that Shilos swallowed back the words they wanted to dissuade.

"Okay, let's brothers live and die together!" Mattonis shouted excitedly.

"Yes, let the others see the courage of the Thessalian warriors!" Olivers, who had been silent, also shouted excitedly at this moment.

At this time, the herald arrived: "Mithradat went around to the side of Timason, and shouted...... Only three soldiers surrendered to the Persians! "This is Clearcus's ability to command the army, and even after his death, it still affects his soldiers.

"Mithradat is coming soon! There is no time to delay! Pheisius, you sit here for me! Davers said urgently.

"Okay." Phellisius reluctantly agreed.

"Assistes, you go and inform the squadron leaders at once, and get ready when the time comes......"

"Understood!" Assistes said excitedly.

"Team Shiros, come with me to the front!"

"Roar!! ......" everyone shouted in unison, causing the other soldiers to look back curiously.

…………………………

"Report to the Ombudsman, Mithradat has rounded Davers' troops!"

After listening to Tolmid's report, Chrysops couldn't help but look behind him.

Even the troops under the command of such prestigious leaders as Crianor and Timasong have defected, will this inexperienced young man be able to stabilize his soldiers? Chrythops' heart was full of worry.

"Tolmide, go to Timason at once, and ask him to send Cretan archers to follow and attack Mithradhat." He finally made a decision.

"Yes!" Tolmid immediately turned his horse and hurried back.

Young man, you have to hold on!

…………………………

Davers and the Shilos team, dressed in their normal helmets, were standing in the first column, their javelins hidden below their shoulders, like the rest of the soldiers, facing west, full of vigilance, nervously watching the rear of the group.

Suddenly, someone crowded into his side, and before Davers could look sideways to see who it was, he heard Assistes say, "Chief, I have conveyed your orders to the various squadron leaders. I'm your herald, now let me fight with you! "Assistes solemnly pleaded.

Davers nodded.

"Chief, they're coming!" Shilos reminded in a low voice.

The sound of horses' hooves came from behind and gradually became clear......

Soon, thirty hussars appeared in front of them. The first one was dressed in glittering fish scale armor that covered his knees, and it must have been Mithradhat.

Davers' eyes widened and he clenched the brass shield in his hand.

"Damn cowards." Matonis cursed under his breath.

"Warriors of Greece, I am Mithradat, a good friend of Cyrus the Younger!" Mithradat stopped two hundred meters diagonally in front of Davers and shouted. He shouted, and his cavalry repeated it in Greek.

"And I'm a good friend of Menon! I have always been friendly to you Greeks, especially you, Menon soldiers, and I have been to your barracks many times! Believe me, Clearchus was punished for breaking the agreement, but you didn't! The peace agreement is still in force for you! Come on, come to our side! I swear by my family's deity, Bahram, the god of war! I have no ill will towards you, and we will send you back to Asia Minor safely! At the same time, the Governor of Tisafnis is ready to hire you again, for Asia Minor has not yet been pacified, and he needs your help, for which he has prepared a rich reward......"

"Persians with honey on their mouths, don't think we'll be fooled!" Assistes spat out.

At this time, Davers whispered, "Ready-to-go!" ”

Team Shilos immediately began shouting, "Is it true that you can let us go home?" ”

"It really won't hurt us?"

"How much is Tisa Furnis going to pay us to hire us?"

……

After a commotion, they shouted in unison: "We surrender!" Surrender! ......" said this, and they threw down their shields and spears and ran toward Mithradhat.

"We surrender too!" The other heavy infantry squad that was close to the Shilos squad immediately dropped their weapons as well, and followed closely behind, quickly mixing with the Shiros team.

"Look, General! There are not many people who surrendered this time! One of the horsemen said happily to Mithradhat.

"Of course! Who called Menon had the best relationship with Arirous! I think we can keep shouting here! Mithradat said proudly, and as soon as he shouted, he produced such a great result, which greatly increased his confidence.

Davers ran as he kept an eye on the movements of the Mithradat cavalry on the opposite side. At this time, two Persian cavalrymen ran towards him, which made his heart tighten.

"Run to the right! Run to the right! ......" they shouted in fluent Greek as they gestured, turned their horses' heads, led the way ahead, and motioned for them to follow.

"Leave them alone! Pick up the pace! Davers exclaimed in a low voice.

The Greek soldier did not listen to the command, but suddenly increased his speed and ran in his direction, which aroused Mithridat's doubts.

At this moment, the cavalry beside him shouted in panic: "Not good! They...... They have javelins on their backs! ”

The reason why he could see clearly was because the distance between him and the Greek soldiers was close to thirty meters at this time.

"Prepare !!" Shilos shouted. The members of the squad quickly drew their javelins from their backs and strode forward.

"Damn!!" Mithradat hurriedly pulled the reins of his horse, slammed his horse's belly, and tried to turn his horse's head and retreat.

However, it was too late. After they threw the javelin with all their might, Matonis even fell because of the strong inertia.

At the screams of the Persian cavalry, ten javelins flew towards Mithradat together, and he had no time to dodge, and immediately he was shot several times, and his horse was pierced through the neck, and he fell with him with a wailing.

Just as the Persian cavalry panicked, the Hilos squad, which quickly got up, threw a second round of javelins, and two more cavalrymen rolled down.

………

Antonios, who was closely watching ahead, excitedly shouted: "It's a success!" And they succeeded!! ”

The soldiers cheered.

"Hurry up and pick up the leader of Davers!" Cappus shouted calmly.

………

Just as the two squads were about to retreat, Mithradat, who had just fallen to the ground, suddenly moved, struggling to pull out his right leg that had been crushed by the horse, apparently his thick armor protecting his vital point.

Now, he was twenty meters away, and the fleeing Persian cavalry was watching not far away, and the situation was urgent. There is no room for Davers to think, "Kill him!!" Davers was the first to rush forward.

The soldiers did not hesitate to catch up with him, picking up javelins and spears from the ground.

With a slam of his hand, Matonis shot off his horse again from a Persian cavalry who wanted to come to the rescue, causing the remaining cavalry to flee again.

Mithradat shook and lifted his dusty face. Looking up at Davos, who came over, he smiled miserably, revealing his mouth full of blood: "...... You guys...... I can't escape the ......"

Davers didn't speak, and plunged the tip of the gun into his neck.
