Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Although the Tua Alliance did not have any major punishment for Crimea in the end, and Crimea returned to neutrality again, the Crimea generals and members of the council were not easy.Despite Croton's defeat, his strength was not lost; and the businessmen who had been to Turui were amazed by the rapid development of the Dionysian Union.One is the humiliation of defeat for the first time in many years, and the other has suffered the burning of the city. These two forces will surely fight again.This is the unanimous understanding of the top of Crimea, but for Crimea sandwiched between Crotone and Dionia, it will be a disaster.

After Castellon joined the Dionysian League, Dionysian built a avenue to connect with Castellon, and gave it trade concessions, making Castellon’s trade grow rapidly in just over six months.Despite the envy of the Crimea people, most people will not secretly send autumn waves to Dionia. After all, Crimea is closer to Crotone, and has been affected by the radiation of Crotone's forces for a long time, whether it is from emotion or In terms of interests, the Crimea people are more inclined to Crotone.

When the Crimea Council received a cavalry emergency report: To the north, countless soldiers were found crossing the swamp area!Everyone was shocked, although some people believed that: we should first figure out the situation.

But Chief General Anta Oris stood out from the crowd and insisted on: while continuing to send Scout Riders to ascertain the situation; while sending people to ask Crotone for help.

He shouted loudly: "You guys, these people are fully armed and come from the north, whether it is Dionysian army or from other places, they broke into our territory without permission. They are malicious and do not need to doubt. Yes! Crimea has not recovered from the last defeat. We can fight no more than a thousand citizens. When we completely understand, I am afraid that the enemy has reached the city. Alright! I'd rather ask for help first, even if I apologize to the Crotonians for making mistakes in the future, rather than losing the homeland passed down by our ancestors because of hesitation!"

The words of Antaoris convinced most people

Just half an hour after they sent a messenger to Crotone, the scout brought back news that worried them: there were about two thousand heavily armed soldiers, mostly heavy infantrymen, carrying long ladders to Crimea Coming in a hurry, and also killed a Crimea cavalry who went to interrogate.

This is the enemy!The members of the Crimea Council have no need to doubt. They have no time to thank Antaoris for their foresight. They have already informed citizens to wear armor and prepare shield spears. At this moment, they issued an emergency war mobilization order: order all to fight People are on the city wall.

As a small town, Crimea does not have any special products, and the port trade is not developed.Even so, Generals such as Antaoris learned the lessons of the original Turui, rushed to the port, and immediately gave nearly 500 young and strong free citizens the right to participate in the fight.

Just as the Crimeans were nervously preparing for war, the mercenaries had advanced to more than two hundred meters from the north of Crimea, and Timmasong had been able to see the shadowy guards above the city.

"It seems that the Crimea people are ready!" Kriano said with a little disappointment, and the slightest luck in his heart disappeared.

Tima Song’s expression remained unchanged, and Shen Sheng said: “Since the raid plan cannot be used, then attack!”

He then ordered: "Brothers take a break temporarily in place!"

He and Kriano and Toricos and other team officials quickly gathered together to urgently discuss how to storm the Crimea City.

The Crimea city wall is only four meters high, and there is only a three-meter-wide moat on the periphery. There is no deer wall and no traps. Such a simple city defense is not worth mentioning compared to the cities they captured in Asia Minor with Tiburon.Even though the city walls were full of civic soldiers at the moment, Timmasong and the team officers did not think they could withstand the strong attacks of the mercenaries. According to Timmasong, the Crimeans had been in peace and no war for decades. When the Crotone army followed the Union raid six months ago, the Crimea were completely slaughtered.

Timmasong, Kriano, and team officers are convinced that the Crimea civic soldiers, who have no combat experience and low morale, are useless!

After quickly completing the deployment, Tima Song came to the front of the array and said loudly to the mercenaries: "Brothers, for more than two months in the Dionysian Union, I believe you all will be unforgettable in your life! You can leave there and follow us. You’re here because you’re not satisfied! Why are they also mercenaries, Davos, they have everything, and we have nothing?!” Tima Song turned to his side, the city of Crimea in front of his finger, roared: “ Now the opportunity is in sight, take this city, let us be nobles! Master!"

The mercenaries used the bayonet to strike the round shield, roaring, venting their depression and suffocation for more than two months, but also the desire for victory and the hope for a better life in the future!

The roar from them spread clearly to the head of the city, so that the Crimea people changed their colors.

The general in charge of the military, Euripps, was anxious when he saw this situation. In order to boost morale, he shouted: "Citizens, as many enemies as we have! We also have walls and moats. They can’t hurt us! Not to mention Crotone’s reinforcements are already on the way to rescue!"

The Crimea heard the reinforcements, and they were calm in their hearts.

"Attack!" Tima Song saw the morale rising and gave orders without hesitation.

As a result, the bugle sounded, Kriano led troops to attack the west of Crimea, and Timmasong led the army to the north.

The heavy infantry is at the front, carrying a long ladder in groups of five or six, slowly advancing in an extremely loose formation, and the light infantry is far behind.When they approached the bow and arrow range of the Crimea, they took off their shields, protected their heads and chests diagonally, and moved forward short.

The arrows on the city wall were raining down, and the mercenaries had no fear. They came to the moat in a hurry. Several people helped to put the six-meter long wooden ladder on the moat. When crossing the river on the long ladder, the bow and arrow The damage to the heavy infantry has not yet accidentally stepped on the wooden ladder and fell into the moat, causing heavy casualties to the mercenaries.

Euripps watched the skillful tactical movements and calm performance of the enemies under the city suddenly tense: this is a group of enemies with rich combat experience, I am afraid it is not easy to deal with!

"Quick! Go and prepare more stones, wood, and linseed oil, and send it to the city immediately!" he shouted anxiously.

After the heavy infantry basically crossed the river, they picked up the long ladder again and quickly rushed to the root of the wall, leaning it against the wall.There are also some long ladders on the river, which are not retracted. They are for the light infantry to cross the river.

The Crimea hurriedly smashed the wood and stones down, poured a pot of linseed oil, and as the torch was dropped, the flames rose and the casualties of mercenaries suddenly increased...

...

Just as Crimea and the mercenaries fought hard, Daphes had received the amazing news that Tima Song did not go to Syracuse, but went to Crimea.

On the east coast of Great Greece, after all, there are frequent ships. More than forty empty ships are stranded on the beach. There will always be curious merchant ships to stop and find out, and then find the captain and the sailor who are tied up and thrown in the wild grass Them.

After being rescued, they immediately sailed back to the port of Turiri and complained to the patrol about their experience.

Daphus was furious when he got the news.As their guarantor, the cargo ship was robbed and the casualties of fifteen sailors have made him angry, and what makes him even more angry is that Timmasong led more than 1,000 mercenaries in Castellon What are you going to do on the coast between Rimesa?!

With a little thought, he could guess: Crimea!These daring mercenaries actually attacked Crimea's idea!I also feel apologetic for their departure. The damn Tima Song deceived us all!While Davies was complaining about his intentions, he was thinking about the consequences of mercenaries doing this: no matter whether they could win Crimea, it would break the delicate balance between Dionia and Crotone, I'm afraid the league has to prepare early!

But when he thought of holding a meeting of the Senate, Davers slightly felt a headache: because someone would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble at the meeting, although it would not have any real impact on him, it was indeed a mistake he made!Sure enough, those in power cannot be easily influenced by personal feelings. If they did not hinder emotions at first, they promised Agassia, how could there be so many follow-ups!This is a profound lesson, remember!...

"Aristotle, you immediately send someone to bring Felixius, Agassia, Hironimos, Capps, Antonios...they please!" Daveus v. Aristocrat Di told him that he needed to ventilate these former mercenary veterans.

………………………

"Head, our people are about to attack!" the men shouted excitedly.

Tima Song's spirit was lifted, his head protruding from under the round shield, peering up and seeing that a soldier had stepped on the battlement not far away.

At this time, seven or eight spears stabbed in the past, and the soldier was busy blocking it with a round shield, but he was unstable and was forced to push down the wall, but the wall was only four meters high, and there were corpses on the ground. There was too much damage, the soldier stood up swaying, not fully awake, and forgot to guard, a stone was hitting his head (because the bulky Corinth helmet and narrow view were not suitable for siege), He fell again, but failed to get up again.

Tima Song saw this situation and shouted: "Let Exekias get close to the city wall and give the heavy infantry who attacked the city more support!"

"Boss..." Herald embarrassed: "They are light infantry and lack protection. Doing so will cause them to be killed by bows and arrows!"
