Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Sir Commander, you can rest assured that you will give us the rest of the battle! Our brothers of the Third Army have longed to participate in the battle and make contributions!" Bagul patted his chest and said aloud.

"Don't worry, don't worry, some fights let you participate!" Daveus said jokingly: "You still report to your captain first. His captain, who is lacking a major general, thinks that you are in your dreams. Call your name!"

Everyone laughed, and Hironimos, who was usually expressionless, grinned.

"Admiral Avignogis, thank you for your full support to Dionia! Take the lead to participate in the battle personally!" Daveus stepped forward and saluted Avignogis to express his sincere gratitude.

"It's my responsibility for Laos as the Dionysian Alliance to send troops to the war!" Avinojis hurriedly replied: "In Turui, I heard that Lord Davers defeated Crotone's army again. The splendid record, this is another miracle with fewer wins and more! The military talent of Lord Davos has amazed me. I believe that the soldiers of Laos can follow Dionysia to win more victories!"

"As long as our Dionysia League is always united, there will be no lack of victory!" Davers replied passionately.

"You're right, Master Daveus!" Avinogis nodded seriously immediately.

At this time, Yasisters interjected: "Master Commander, I almost forgot one thing. When we led the army through the swamp area, the engineering battalion was about to repair the road through the swamp area. Here comes the heavy delivery."

"Great!" Daveus said happily.

……………………

Follow Davies into the tent: Captain of the First Army, Drax, Chief of the Second Army, Hironimus, Chief of the Third Army, Bagul, Chief of the First Army of the Third Army, Third Army The deputy lieutenant of the map, Yasisters, and the governor of Lars, Avinojis.

In the middle of the big account is an unusually smooth wooden table with a large map of southern Greece.

"Capps, could you please introduce the latest situation to the new comrades in arms." Daveus said.

"Okay, sir." Capps came to the wooden table, found the Crimisa sign on the map, and pointed at it. "After Crotone's army failed in the battle, according to the information obtained from the interrogation of the captured soldiers It is estimated that about 7,000 people fled the battlefield, and they probably all fled back here—" Kapus glanced at the people who were listening to him carefully, and then said: "Then our 1st and 2nd legions rushed in 14,000 Go outside the city of Crimea, build a camp, and surround Crimea from the east, west, and north. Today, when we built a bridge on the Umbria River, the troops on the south bank were attacked by nearly 7,000 light infantry. It means that Crimea received reinforcements from Crotone within this day, and the strength of the city may have reached 14,000. Your arrival has brought our total number of soldiers to 22,000."

Avignogis was sitting at the wooden table, listening to Capps, and staring at the map.

"It would be more difficult for 22,000 people to capture a city defended by 14,000 soldiers!" Avignogis said based on his past experience.

"We don't have to take the city of Crimea." Capps' words surprised the newcomers.

"Without taking Crimea, how can we attack Crotone?" Bagul asked in surprise.

"Surround it." Kapus held the Crimea on the map with his right hand, and then made a circle: "If we attack Crimea, there is a defense of 14,000 soldiers in Crotone, not only the casualties, but also Once Crimea could not hold it, the Crotone might escape back to the city of Crotone by boat, shrinking in the city, making it more difficult for our next attack. Leave them and let Crimea disperse Crotone’s forces, and we can divide the troops—" Capps’ fingers slipped south of the Crimean city, which was the northern plains of Croton.

Avinokis, Bagul, Yasistes, and Lizaru stared at the map with their eyes wide open, contemplating.

"What if Crotonians find that our number has decreased, and what happens when we go out of town to attack the camp?" Avinogis asked with some concern.

The other few laughed at the same time.

"We are welcoming them to attack, and try the defensive facilities of our Dionysian camp!" Drax said confidently.

"If we don't attack Crimisa, it might make Crotone people aware of our intentions, what if they take the initiative to withdraw Crotone defense?" Yasisters also asked his own question.

"Who said we wouldn’t attack, we would properly attack the city of Crimea, and when they realized that the situation was wrong, the troops we sent out would have messed up Crotone’s territory, and when they withdrew When Crotone, we can easily win Crimea again! In short, according to the commander-in-law's words...that is...we must actively mobilize the Crotone to run back and forth, and we have never been able to concentrate our forces to confront us... …" Capps explained.

"It's great! I think this must be the plan conceived by Lord Davis. This is the first time I have seen such a clever military plan! We can easily achieve our goal without hard work!" Vinojis praised him half-compassionally and half-sincerely.

His words were unanimously agreed by everyone.

Daphes smiled and said seriously: "Now I am most worried about one thing--"

"Our food supply?!" The reticent Shironimus interjected. As the head of the bare rod army, he has been staying with the army's battalion for two days, so he knows this.

"Yes." Daveus glanced at him admiringly, and said with a serious expression: "The soldiers are about to eat the rations, and then the food will be transported from the rear to meet the needs of 22,000 people. Food is definitely a huge amount! Turri is nearly a hundred miles from Crimea. We cannot protect this long transportation line! If Crotone is aware of this, their warship can Landing on any coast, attacking our food packs, even destroying villages, killing our people, causing us a lot of trouble! So we need to complete our plan as soon as possible to make Crotone poor."

"Sironimus!"

"in!"

"You immediately led the Third Army to build a camp on the south bank and besieged Crimea!"

"Yes!"

"Drax!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Draw three brigades from the Second Army to assist the army of Lord Avinogis to build a camp on the South Bank. I request that you must initially build a camp before tonight and completely siege the city of Crimea!"

"understand!!!"

………………………

On the afternoon of the same day, more than 10,000 Dionysian soldiers crossed the wooden bridge and began to step up construction of the camp on the southern bank of the Umbria River.

Milon no longer rushed to send troops to assault.

In the evening, the South Bank camp was initially completed.At this point, the Dionysian camp was a huge semi-circle, surrounding the Crimean city. Except for the port facing the estuary and unable to be enclosed, the rest were surrounded by the Dionysian camp.

By the early morning of the next day, the Dionysian soldiers continued to improve their camp facilities, while Crotone’s messenger Lucias arrived at Dionysian’s north battalion, and he was masked and brought into Daves Military account.

"Master Lucias, I'm very sorry! You and I are both sides of the war and have to adopt this method." Dafus apologized, but there was no trace of apology on his face. Instead, he was as excited as the hound saw the fresh meat. 'S look: "I remember we met just four days ago. I didn't expect to meet again so soon. Wouldn't you bring any harsh conditions to threaten us Dionysia?"

Of course, Lucias heard the rich taunt in Davies' mouth, but he heard it unheard, and said directly: "Master Davies, I came here for peace talks. Crotone is willing to talk to Dionys Asia signs an armistice agreement and compensates Dionia’s losses in the war. I only hope that the fighting between Crotone and Dionysia can be calmed down to restore peace and peace in Great Greece!"

Dave Haha laughed: "You Crotonians want to go to war, they want to go to war, and they want to go to armistice. Do you think this is a child playing war games?"

Lucias asked calmly: "So what kind of conditions would Dionia be willing to accept a truce?"

"Conditions?" Daveus snorted coldly, dispelling the impulse on his face, walking back and forth a few steps, and then looking back at Lucias, his shrewd eyes had recovered his previous savvy: "Remember What did I say the next time you left? My conditions are the same as the conditions you mentioned before in the Great Chamber of the Senate of Turiyi, very simple!"

Hearing this, Lucias's heart groaned.

"First, Crotone will pay Dionia 5000 Talent Silver in one lump sum; second, dissolve the Crotone alliance, and in the future Crotone will not be able to form alliances with any other city-state; third, Remisa merged into the Dionysian Union!..."

After hearing one, Lucias' face was awkward, and finally he shook his head simply: "The conditions you mentioned are too harsh, and Crotone will not accept it!"

"It's better not to accept! The Dionysian soldiers still want to win more to get more rewards from the Alliance!" Davis's face didn't matter, but there were more threats in his words.

"I admit that Dionysia's previous victory made us panic, but the panic also prompted us to act in Crotone, working together to fight against enemies who might invade Crotone's territory! In the future, you Diao The battles faced by the Niahs will only get more and more difficult! Master Davis, I want to remind you that the grapes can only be sold at a good price when they are fresh, otherwise they will be worthless when they are ripe." Lucias' words also became tougher.
