Chapter 2:attack on Cornith

After 4 months of building the seige equipment, Kleo and his army were ready to attack.

Cornith,luckily,had sandy land which therefore was easy to dig,which means it would be easier to sap the walls. Kleo sent his most weak unit,peasants, to dig,in case anything serious happened in the cave,he would'nt lose any of his good troops.



After successfully knocking down a peice of the wall, the enemy general was waiting there. Being a little overcofident, Kleo decided to take out the general with him and his bodyguard. Charging, Kleo rammed into the enemy general,killing a few of the bodyguard from the greekin weilded spears and from impact.

After a few minutes of fighting,both sides with a few casualties, the Macedonian calvary retreated back to the town center. The spartan king, watched as one of the Macedonain calvary men carried the dead body of their general on the horses back. Kleo and his calvary turned back to his troops to tell them the way to the opening was clear.



After the signal, two units of hoplites came over to the general. Kleo order one unit to take the gateway by charging up the tower and taking out the unit of archers that were guarding it, the other unit of hoplites would head to the center take out the unit that was guarding it and secure it for three minutes at the most.

First unit:

After getting out of phalanx position, The hoplites stormed the tower,a few dying by the tower archers. Once about half of the archers were gone, the cowards accually called for reinforcements! After a few extra minutes, a few extra greek men gone, the greek unit finally won.

second unit

Since the first unit didnt take many injuries, they decided to take the place of the second unit.

The first unit reached the center and saw the 2 units left,1 of hoplites,and of the few remaining calvary. The hoplites decided to attack what they "thought" would be the weakest:the hoplites. BAD idea! At the last minute, the enemy hoplite unit made a phalanx right as the the greekin troops were getting ready to smash into the Macedonian sheilds. But it did'nt work that way so Macedon killed about 30 greeks in the first few seconds.

Kleo heard their crys for help and decided to help. He went around half the city to flank them. The next you heard was the clashing of metal, and macedonian crys.



After a few minutes the macedonians were dead and the greeks won the day.
