Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

In the Carthage Senate, the offensives led by the Margonide family, which received strong support from the public, slammed the conservatives led by Hanno. They proposed to attack Syracuse and rebuild the security of the north for Carthage. The proposal of the barrier was finally approved.

So the Carthaginian Senate once again appointed the head of the Margonide family, one of the Carthage Sofitel (similar to the governor, and also two) Shimirko as commander-in-chief, and began to recall the newly sent to open the Iberian Peninsula His army, whose commander-in-chief was Shimirko’s brother Marco, also began preparing food for the army.

…………………………

A major event happened in Grummentum a day ago. Two small tribes, Lud and Brina, who belonged to the north, clashed because of territorial issues, and even engaged in armed fighting. The city’s chief, Bagul, personally went to mediation, and suddenly suffered. After the siege of its tribal warriors, Bakool was unprepared. Thanks to his bodyguards, he escaped back to the city of Grummentum, and soon the news of Bakul’s serious injury and life was in danger. The gates were closed, and the city was heavily guarded, but no troops were sent to attack the two tribes who flagrantly raised their flags.

For a while outside the city, the tribes under the jurisdiction of Grumentum were panicked and rumors arose.

The news soon spread to Picos and Potentia.

"Son, the old fox of Puamot has finally shot! We can't wait, we must send troops immediately to attack Grummentum!" Cincinnati said excitedly and anxiously.

"Father, didn't you say you would wait for Potentia to send troops, then let's send troops again!" Gennaert asked Cincinnati so excitedly and puzzled.

"The situation is different now! Although Potentia did not send troops, but they have already acted. Didn't you hear that,'The master of Grummentum was ambushed and seriously injured', this is definitely It was Puamot who secretly instigated the Grummentum tribes next to Potentia to do good things! According to the logic, the Dionysians should send troops to retaliate against those tribes, but Dionysian There are no people. Instead, they lock the city gate. What does that mean?"

Cincinnati waved his arms and said excitedly: "It means that the Dionysians had no extra strength to suppress the rebellious tribes, and their soldiers were all transferred to attack Bruti. Bruti came yesterday. Why didn’t the messenger feel so nervous when he asked us to join us last time? He already made it very clear,'Dionia sent nearly 20,000 troops to attack the Bruti Mountains from the north, but he could never reach Weg. Under the city, and with heavy casualties; they also have 10,000 people attacking Knapetiya from the south, also blocked outside the mountains, unable to move forward.' Dionysia is in a predicament against the Bruti, so The Dionysians here only want to guard the city of Grumentum. Now, the tribes of Grumentum are just like the calves who have lost their mothers. In front, immediately send an army and quickly rush to the territory of Grumentum, those tribes will inevitably return to their ranks, and our team will grow quickly. When Puamut arrived, it was late, Grumentum It's up to us Picos!" Cincinnati couldn't help but sneer at the thought of being proud.

"Father, I'll call the soldiers!" Gennaert was struck out of the living room by his father's blood, and Cincinnati's hateful voice was heard behind him: "Cunning Dionysia Man, dare to take my Grummentum, I finally waited for the day of revenge! God Asinu, my Cincinnati will sacrifice you with the blood of the Greeks, hoping for your blessing! "

…………………………

"Brother, what are you waiting for!" Pollet shouted anxiously: "The Picoxians have already started, and it must be the cunning Cincinnagra that has gathered the tribes of Grumentum and devastated the design. The Bagul of Dionysia! Now, the army of Pecosis must have set off. If we do not send troops, Grummentum will return to Pecosis!"

Compared with the impatient Polet, Puamott, the over 50-year-old chief of Potentia sat on a wooden chair, and after listening to this, his eyebrows did not move, slowly Said: "I still say that-wait."

"Brother, you don't want to take risks, why don't I take some soldiers to Grummentum first--" Pollet was anxious and wanted to say it again, Puamott's expression became serious, he looked at his brother, cold The voice said: "Potentia is still my master. If you want to give orders, wait until I die."

Pollet dared not speak anymore. He and Puamott were almost 20 years old. His father died early. He was actually taken care of by this older brother, so although he is a brother, he is more like a father and son.

"Polet." Puamot's tone became milder: "Don't forget how we lost Grummentum."

Pollet didn't speak, but apparently he was a little dissatisfied.

Puamot sighed, and his face was a little more solemn: "I know you have been complaining that I have been too cautious to do things over the years, and I have not interfered in the disputes within Lucania. Reluctant to start with the fat of Grummentum... but you must know that our Potentia is different from Picos and Grummentum, they are surrounded by Lucanias, And there are terrible Samonaites to the north of us, don’t forget our grandfather always warned us,'We were rushed by these Samonais from the north to this mountainous area', don't look now These Samone tribes have not fought with us because we have enough warriors and they have to deal with the Greeks in the west, so they are safe. But if our strength is weak, you think those hungry wolves will Have you missed Pautia!"

Pollet's expression moved slightly.

"At the beginning of the year I did not resist your repeated requests to send in Grumentum, and eventually you and the soldiers were captured by the Dionysians...you know... During that time, the Samone sent envoys I expressed my willingness to hire troops to help me defeat the Dionysians."

Bollet moved now, and he couldn't help asking urgently: "Is there such a thing?! Do you agree?"

"Agree?" Puamott sneered: "If I agree, Potentia should have belonged to Samona. Fortunately, we and Dionysia made peace in a timely manner, and I will count you back. I was relieved. Now, the situation in Grummentum is complicated, and the war between Dionyssia and Bruti doesn’t know what will happen in the end. I can’t see clearly... Don’t send troops easily. Cincinnati Grid wants to rob Grummentum, then let him rob it, the Dionysians are not so easy to deal with."

After listening to it, Pollet was silent for a while, and then asked a little unwillingly: "Since this is the case, why do you agree to an alliance with Bruty?"

Puamot's turbid eyes flashed a gleam of light: "The alliance is also for a way out, Asinu blesses! In case of a good opportunity...so we have to calm down now and wait slowly..."

………………………

Pianren quickly rushed back to Cosenza and happened to stop Nikuru who had hurriedly returned from Knapetia, and finally persuaded him to stay in Cosenza and wait for the army to attack Bisinia together. .

It didn't take long before I received a return from the reconnaissance ride: the Greeks built a fortress on the road from Bisinia to the plateau.

Pi Arun can no longer sit still, and if the Greeks are allowed to repair the fortress, it will undoubtedly add more difficulties to regain than Sinia.He had to ask Nikulu to lead his soldiers to obstruct, and added a thousand other warriors from other tribes, and repeatedly told him not to fight hard with the Greeks.

Nikulu's anxiously led soldiers hurriedly walked for three hours, they could vaguely see the Greeks ahead, and their eyes widened: they turned the exit of the mountain road into a big construction site, digging pits, piling, moving wood... … A scene full of heat, and a wooden wall three meters high and tens of meters long stood abruptly there. There are city gates, crow mouths, trenches, and Luzhai. All the fortress facilities are basically complete.

Nikulu’s operation was also quick, but it had been a day and a half since the Second Legion occupied Bisinia. The Chief of the Army, Drakos, seized the opportunity of this day and a half and divided his 7,000 soldiers into three teams, regardless of Take turns to build fortresses day and night.The soldiers also knew that time was tight, and they also sold out their strength. Together with some simple defensive facilities assembled by engineering operations, the fortress had already taken shape when Nikkuru arrived.

After the scouts scattered out and found the team of the Bruti, they immediately rushed back to the letter. The fortress sounded the trumpet, and the soldiers who worked were retreating slowly.

Although Nikulu was surprised by the speed at which the Dionysian soldiers built the fortress, and it took seven or eight days for Bisinia to withdraw the fortress facing Cosenza, he was more angry that the Greeks were doing what they wanted in his territory.

"Kill the Greeks outside the city!" He ordered that the horn sounded, and the soldiers under his hatred enemies took away their hometowns. Like the fierce wolf, they rushed to the unarmored and unarmed. Dionysians.

The Dionysian soldiers did not panic under the command of the team officer. They ordered through the city gate and evacuated into the wall in an orderly manner. The soldiers at the end of the team even looked around leisurely and looked forward to good things.

At a distance of 50 meters from the city wall, the charging Bisinian soldiers suddenly screamed and fell, all of them fell to the ground. When they pulled out their feet, they were all bloody, not stabbed by sharp wooden posts buried in the grass. Wearing a foot board means that a blood hole is drawn by a meat hook, and the narrow foot pit can twist the ankle...
