Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 301: War Prologue

"As long as we can defeat Cosenza, we are willing to do anything!" Hegsitus said radiantly and decisively.

………………………

The news of Dionia’s declaration of war against the Bruti quickly spread throughout Greece, and Castello immediately dispatched people to the Senate of Dionysia: willing to send 1,000 light and heavy infantry and 50 cavalry to the war .

Laos also sent people to actively say: 3,000 light and heavy infantry should be sent to the war.

Even Heraclea, who had just joined the Dionysian League, was not outdone: he was willing to send 500 infantry and 100 cavalry to the battle.

Daveus readily accepted that although the number and combat effectiveness of these troops are far from comparable to the four Legion of Dionyssia, the participation of the Allies is showing the unity of the Dionysian Alliance, and they are side by side. Only in battle can we deepen our friendship with allied city-states, and gradually influence and assimilate their military systems.

Although the Tarantum House of Seniors was informed in advance that there was a conflict between the Dionysians and the Brutus (from the leak of Tolmed), when the news of the war broke out, everyone was in the mood Complicated: If Dionia wins, the gap between Tarantum and Dioria will only be greater; but if Dionia loses heavily, the Mesapi and Puchti people who just signed the treaty may have another There will be new ideas.However, Tarantum’s human and material resources are now invested in the recovery of the war-torn Tarantum territory. It is really unable to assist Dionia, but not long ago, Dionysia just fulfilled the covenant and rescued When Tarantum was in crisis, Tarantum could not help but express.

So, the Tarantum Senate sent a messenger Polydorus to Turiri and asked Daveus politely: "What do you need from Tarantum to help?"

Of course, Daphus saw the embarrassment of Polydorus. He immediately thanked Tarantum for his concern, and said politely: "Dionysia does not need Tarantum's help for the time being."

But Davos's politeness showed self-confidence, making Poldorus feel a little guilty while taking a breath.

………………………

Crotone's mood is equally complex, and most people even hope that Dionia's war was fiasco defeated, but Silitin, Trina, and Corunia all sent envoys, and Crotone would of course want to There is a performance, after all, it belongs to the South Italian League.

The Dionysian senate justified the fact that these city-states had just experienced wars and needed to guard against Lockle, and politely declined their expectations to join the war.At the same time, he made his own request: I hope they can provide some military food, and allow Dionia’s army to pass through their territory and wait for the opportunity to attack Bruti from the Trina side.

The envoys of the city-states such as Crotone immediately agreed.

The Silitian messenger even boasted that the city-state was willing to provide free food for the Dionysian army attacking from the side of Trina until the end of the war.

The Trina messenger, who spoke very little when she met, actually knew very well in her heart: The Dionysian Senator had a secret agreement with Cipros to attack Knapetia together!Coming with other messengers this time is just blinding.

………………………

"Father, it seems that the Vigos are right, and Dionysia is really like the Brutus declaring war! We--" Gnanet said excitedly.

Cincinnati sneered to interrupt his son’s words: "What are we?... Do we also declare war on Dionyssia?! We have a hatred against the Dionysians, don’t forget the old bastard Sedorum. Haven't we slaughtered our people! If it were not for Elijah, the Vig messenger would definitely not be able to get out of Picoxis!" Cincinnati said with hate.

Since the loss of Grumentum, the Dionysian forces have entered the central area of ​​Lucania. Those independent tribes of Lucania are like flies seeing shit, and they have successively turned to Dionys Asian.Although the Dionysians had not taken further action in Grummentum, they had already made the Picosians feel the pressure, although the messengers of Picoxis came to Turui and brought back Dionysians The ruler's promise of peace, but how can the cunning Cincinnati easily believe that thin piece of papyrus!

Especially when the news that the Eliaians announced their joining the Dionysian League came as if the giant drum of Hong Zhong caused a huge sensation in Picoxis, which means that the Picoxians not only dared not Elijah is regarded as fat, looting every year in his territory, and since then the city of Picos has been surrounded by Dionysia and its allies. I believe Potentia also feels the danger, so When the Bretti messenger arrived, under his matchmaking, the two tribe towns of Lucania, who had just forged their hatred for a long time, finally decided to unite and fight against Dionia in order to survive.

"We can't worry now, be patient!" Cincinnati said to his son.

"When will you wait?"

"Wait until both the Dionysian and the Bruty are fighting until weary! Wait for Potentia to take the lead!" Cincinnati's narrow eyes flashed coldly.

………………………

In the conference hall where Kesheng exploded, the chiefs of the Bruti Tribe Alliance were urgently discussing the news from the spies.

"Yesterday, Davis had led what they said about the First Army and the Second Army. They went out of the city of Turri and headed west. It seemed to be preparing to pass through the mountains to Laos... in Aspro Sturm's... well, the Fourth Army also began to go south... You, the Dionysian attack is coming!" Pi Anlun said solemnly.

"It's just right! We have made careful preparations for these arrogant Dionysians to taste the power of our Brutus!" Nikulu waved his fists in excitement.

"It seems that Dionysia’s offensive focus is on Vig! Because their consul Davers headed the first and second legions, plus the third legion of Nyutum, and the troops of Laos. The number of soldiers he leads may be as high as 20,000! Although Wig City has strengthened its defense and built several defensive camps on the mountain road... However, the maximum number of soldiers is only 4,000, which is difficult to resist So many Dionysian soldiers are attacking!" Sedorum looked sadly at the others.

"Sedorum, you coward! Before the war begins, you start to be afraid!" Nikulu sneered.

"The Dionysians attacked Vigo with all their strength. It is normal for Vige City to stop the attack by its own power. Just like the Dionysian Fourth Army going south, it must be attacking from Trina to the north. In addition, with Trina’s troops, the number of soldiers is probably more than ten thousand. The soldiers of Knapetia City are only two thousand. You must have your reinforcements before Krapetia can hold it!" Rum even defended himself.

Sedorum nodded gratefully to him.

"Now Bruty is already a unified tribal alliance. But as soon as they are unified, they encounter strong enemies. This is the test of the goddess Amara and the god Brutus! Under the protection of the gods, we must be close Unity and defeating the enemy can cast the future glory of our Bruti!" said the high priest Philotaru with a solemn expression.The people of Brutus pride themselves on being the descendants of Brutus, and Brutus is the son of Hercules and Queen Valentia, the legendary ancient hero of Brutus , The demigod, the patron saint of the Bruti tribe.

"The high priest is right!" Pioren looked around and said, "I will lead 10,000 Kosenza soldiers with Petaru to reinforce Veg!"

Ten thousand fighters are almost all of Cosenza's strength, so Sedorum hurriedly saluted and gratefully said: "Thank you for your help!"

"This is what I should do. We are all comrades in the same alliance now. The city of Vig can't hold it, can it be preserved by Cosenza?! Cosenza is occupied, Bisinia, Ambalia What could be the other way out?" Piarron said as if he was comforting Sedorum, but actually reminded Bergam and Nikulu.

"Only a narrow river valley in the southeast of Ambalia leads to Asprostum. The Dionysians dare not attack from here, because once they are found, our soldiers do not need to fight, just stand Throwing stones down the top of the valley is enough to cause them heavy casualties, so I am willing to lead 3000 soldiers to reinforce Knapetiya!" Burgam said immediately.

Nikulu was not far behind, saying aloud: "The situation in Bisinia is similar to that of Ambalia. There are high mountains as barriers and large rivers. The Dionysians cannot enter my territory at all. I am willing to bring two thousand The fighters helped Pan Gailu fight back those Dionysians!"

Pan Gailu also thanked the two great leaders.

"Brutus is on, we should be like this, we should be like this! As long as we Bruty people unite and cooperate, no number of Greeks can beat us!" Firotaro whispered the name of God while whispering Lian Huai's reassuring praise.

"Although Ambalia and Bisinia have a geographical advantage, they must always be vigilant to prevent the Dionysian attack! You know, the Dionysian consul is a very cunning person. Rotone was defeated twice by his tricks, and Niutum and Grumentum were also lost by his army attack!" Pi Anlun solemnly warned the two chiefs, hoping that they will attract attention and strengthen alert.

"Relax, we have sentries on every mountaintop of the river valley, and the Dionysians will be known to us as soon as they are dispatched." Burgam said seriously.

"Turij’s trail to Bisinia was blocked by the strong defensive camps we built by Bisinians. If the Dionysians first came to attack, they would only be destroyed by us!" Niku Lu looked confident.
