Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The attacking trumpet sounded over the city of Turi, and the freemen and slaves gathered in the dock area of ​​the north and south cities received the signal and immediately broke out. They took out hidden weapons and attacked the defenders.

The south city was on the south bank of the Krati River. Initially, it was because citizens who went to farm on the plains of the south bank of the Krati River sometimes worked too late. It was dangerous to cross the river at night, so some cottages were built on the south bank to stay overnight, and later gradually developed into a village. Men mentioned that they crossed the mountains, looted livestock, killed citizens, and built the city wall for safety. Therefore, the south city was not large and there were not many guards. It was only because of the increase in the defenders in the past two days, but because of the false news of the truce. Because of the precautions, the attacks of the free people have made them respond in haste, and it has been difficult to parry.

The Crotone soldiers crossed the moat, raised the siege ladder, occupied the city quickly, lowered the suspension bridge, opened the city gate, and the Croton army rushed in to disperse the defenders. In order to get on the ferry, cargo ship, and merchant ship, the freeman served as a sailor and quickly sailed to the port of Beicheng.

General Turiri heard that Crotone’s soldiers were approaching the city, and they could still give orders in the future, and the news of the riots of the free people of the North and South City docks was panic-stricken.They hurriedly summoned citizens to go to the pier to suppress the free people. Old people over the age of 50 and teenagers over the age of 14 all put on armor and picked up shield spears. For them, this is a crucial moment for Turri’s survival Every citizen must stand up to defend their homeland.

Although it took some time to gather citizens, everyone fought with their enemies, and the free people who had been killed without weapons were defeated.But at this moment, Crotone's army landed.

They went straight to Turiri's army as soon as they got ashore, and the almost collapsed front of the freemen soon stabilized.

The two sides fought on the narrow streets of the port.Although Crotone was constantly being landed by soldiers and far outnumbered the citizens of Turi, it could not be deployed in the narrow lanes.Although Crotone’s soldiers were all tall and strong, Turui’s team was mixed with old men and young people, and even the generals were put on the stage. There were hundreds of Turriyi women yelling and yelling for their loved ones. Come on cheer, that is a tragic cry!Crotone is fighting, and Turri is desperately, so the battle can't hold on!

Melanchus, who had always been in the front charge, was dragged behind by the ferry that was riding. When he arrived at the pier, he was already full of ships, and finally found a vacant place to land.Seeing that the battle was stuck, he immediately ordered the buildings on both sides of the roadway to be demolished.

When the Crotone soldiers began to outflank from the two wings, the Turiris gradually became unsupported and insisted for a moment. Finally, after the citizens were continuously killed and wounded, they finally retreated.

Neonsis did not want to run, but greeted the enemy who swarmed in.Since taking office, this general, a civilian, has been highly praised by his citizens for his down-to-earth style and diligent work attitude. However, less than two months after he reached the top of the highest post of the city-state, Turiyi was in great trouble. He died in shame under the assault of Crotone soldiers, while Pollux and several other generals turned to escape.

Burcos and Plesinas led some citizens, women and children back into the Acropolis on the hillside behind the city.There are the Temple of Apollo and the Altar of the Goddess Hera. The torch has been burning for 41 years since it was built. It is where the spirit of the citizens of Turi is maintained, a place where their souls rest and a sacred place!The Turiyi people decided to make their final resistance here.

After Melanseus occupied and settled other urban areas, it was getting late.He ordered the soldiers to light the torches, encircle the Turriy Acropolis, and then let Polyxes pass in: surrender immediately, otherwise burn the Turiy Acropolis.

They did not expect the Crotonians to be so fierce. After all, Apollo was also Crotone's patron saint of city-states. After painful choices, they opened the door.At this point, Crotone completely occupied the city of Turiri.

……………………………

When the news reached Turi, Davers was watching the military training of the citizens in the training camp. He and the team officers were shocked to learn that Turi was falling.

"I really didn't expect that Turui fell like this!" Hilos said with emotion.

"If it wasn't for Turri's failure to deal with the conflict between freemen and slaves, how could Crotone easily succeed!" Amintas obviously was not convinced of Crotone's record.

"But the general in Crotone was not easy. Despite the help of the freeman, when he was able to use tricks to deceive Turri in advance, he suddenly made trouble, and the offensive organization was also very effective. In the city of Turri below, Crotone soldiers are also well-trained!" Daveus sensible analysis said: "The Crotone army can be said to be in addition to the 800 Spartans led by Kleethorpes Beyond the warriors, one of the strong enemies we have encountered so far must be vigilant!" Daveus warned everyone.

"But we are not afraid of him!" Amintas shouted in disbelief.

"Yes, we must have this spirit! We value the enemy, but we are not afraid of the enemy, we dare to fight any enemy!" Daveus inspired everyone.

"The commander of the army (in the barracks, Davis asked everyone to call his military duties rather than administrative duties), what should we do next?" Alexis asked.

"What is your opinion?" Daveus asked him back.

After thinking for a while, Alexis said, "Multiple scouts monitor the movement of Crotone's army and strengthen Amendolara's defense..."

"Very well, let's wait and see how it changes." Daveus said that although Crotone had occupied Turui and showed its strength, Daveus was very happy to see that none of his team officials proposed Take the initiative to show Crotone.

Looking at the soldiers who were actively training on the training ground, and remembering the Crotone army that was looting in the city of Turui, Davis had no fear.

…………………………

At this time, in the city of Turiyi, after the occupation of the city, Melanius did not restrain his soldiers, causing the soldiers to rampage in the city, robbing property, wounding the people, and even ** women. The Turiyi people were miserable.

Merciers took a fancy to the most luxurious mansion, and after driving away the owner directly, he moved in, and he held a banquet with the officers to celebrate the victory.

When he was drinking, he heard the prostitute in his arms saying: There is a disciple of the historian Herodotus in Turri.Immediately came and asked the guards to invite this person.

When Ansitanos arrived here, I saw a group of Crotone people lying on the reclining chair, sipping wine, chewing food, and holding beautiful women in their arms.Most of those who actively flirt and flirt are senior prostitutes, and most of them are Turi women.

Some of the Crotone people are bragging about this victory loudly, praising Melanseus; some are telling some vulgar jokes, and the stupid and poor protagonist are Turuis; others are With his hands up and down, he and the woman in her arms did a shameful thing directly under the public... In the laughter and ****, Ansitanos tightened his face and stepped on the marble floor where wine liquid was flowing. To enter the hall.

"Oh, the historian of Turri is here!" Melancius drank a lot, but his mind was still sober, he patted the woman's full breast in his arms: "Go pour him a glass of wine."

The woman handed the wine to Ansitanos and he took a sip without hesitation.

"Turiyi, are you drinking for our victory and celebrating?!" An officer took the opportunity to run against him with a smile.

"No, I'm just remembering the city-state of Sugre Baris, once famous for wine in Greece. At that time it was strong, Crotone was weak, just like Crotone and Turiri today, but The bully and the weak finally went to extinction." Ansitanos said quietly.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!..." Melancius laughed: "Unfortunately, the weak Crotone destroyed the powerful Subaris! And today, the weak Turui was powerful Crowe. Tony Occupy, your statement is completely wrong!"

"The gods are on top, and no matter how powerful the city-state is, it will be hard to escape." Ansitano replied toughly.

"Maybe one day...er..." Melanchus burped and said disapprovingly: "But you and I may not have a chance to see it." Speaking of which, he sat up and said loudly, "Listen Say you are a disciple of Herodotus. If you want to write history in the future, will there be my name and this glorious victory in the book for future generations to know?"

"No, only the sins and ugliness you committed in Turui!" Ansitano answered coldly.

"Bold!"

"Don't you Turui want to live!"

...

When the officers heard this, they scolded and even smashed food on him.

Melancius waved his hand and disagreed with Ancitanos's provocation. Instead, he picked up his glass and said triumphantly: "'The winner proved his strength with action, and the loser could only prove his weakness with excuses. 'This is the motto of athletes. The ancient heroes will only enjoy the joy of capturing Troy, and no one will care about the suffering of the conquered, Trojans. If you fail, you must admit it, just like Lucania... "

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "I heard that the archangel of Amendolara Dai... Davis used six thousand people to wipe out the 10,000 people of the Lucanian coalition. This is true. ?Fake? Is it Tarantum's credit? Or is it really his credit?"

"It was indeed the battle he planned and organized." Ansitanos answered truthfully.

"In this way, this Davers is still a personal thing...I don't know who is more powerful than me and him?" Melancius looked excited.

Ansitanos looked at him and moved his heart, saying: "Behind you is the powerful Crotone, and behind him there is only a small Amendolara."
