Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 314: Fortress Offense and Defense (for subscription)

"Everyone, Cosenza's army has entered the Bruti Barracks two miles away. According to the spies, the number of enemies may be more than 20,000." Draco said to the crowd, he received the enemy's situation, he not only did not feel Tension is relieved.

It turned out that two thousand Bisinian fighters took the initiative to surrender, and Dracos was having a headache about how to place them. Bakiripi gave a suggestion that Nikulu would soon lead Cosenza's army to return for revenge. Except for a small number of wounded soldiers who can return to the city of Bisinia to recuperate, others must stay in the newly built fortress to assist the Dionysians in defending Nikuru’s attack.In order to prevent Draco from suspecting that his military power was too great, Bakiripi also offered to propose that the warriors of all ethnic groups be led by the leaders of all ethnic groups.

Drakos was very grateful for Bajilipi’s understanding, but after all, it was not long before Dionia and Bisinia ended their battle. Some Bisinian fighters’ family members still died in the hands of Dionysian soldiers. The enmity between the two communities cannot be eliminated so quickly, and the conflict between the soldiers of the two sides in the small fortress is inevitable, and Draco and Barchiripi broke their hearts.Drax, who has always been incapable of handling such matters, is eager to divert the attention of the soldiers to resist the attack of the enemy.

After Dracos finished speaking, Adpiges translated his words again in Bruti, and the captains were all eager to try.

Although Creiro was nervous, he knew that he had to help the Dionysians to block the attack of the Bruti Allied forces, otherwise he would let the enemy attack in, and Nikuru would be the first person to kill.

Barchiripi sat still, but he was similar to the young Krem.

Only Brim covered his abdomen with a spear wounded by a Dionysian soldier, and then wrapped in a doctor's cloth, waving his other hand, and said in amazement: "Twenty thousand Cosenza soldiers! Now Does Cosenza have so many fighters?!"

"I think Pi Anlun should also gather the Ambania and other tribe warriors." Bakiripi said.

Bream's consternation subsided, but he was still sighing: "Twenty thousand soldiers! This is a powerful army Brutus has never had!"

"What's this! There are a lot of city-state troops with more than 20,000 defeated by Dionysian, Crotone in the south! Mesapi, Puchti across the bay! ... We are not afraid of the enemy coming too much , I am afraid that the enemy will come too little!" Trotilas stood up and said fervently that the son-in-law of the "broken arm" Anticoris was only a small captain when he arrived at Turiri with the mercenaries. Now he is the commander of a thousand people.

His words were endorsed in unison by other captains.

Brim was still not convinced and wanted to say it again, being held by Bakiripi's hand.

Seeing this situation, Adrian Anks, the first captain, looked at Drax and found that the captain of the army did not seem to speak. He knew the temperament of his old friend, so he came out to the round: "Cosenza's team It’s huge, but we also have tens of thousands of soldiers and a fortress as a barrier. According to Lord Davers,'If the siege side does not have several times the strength of the defending side, it will be difficult to win.' What's more, the army led by Lord Davers will soon arrive!"

Obviously, the resounding name of Davers made Brim lose his desire to refute.

At this moment, Dracoes saw the quiet in the hall and began to say: "Cspit, how are the two thousand new Dionyan freemen under your jurisdiction now training?"

Zpitt said with satisfaction: "The freemen sent by the Senate seem to have been carefully selected, have undergone many military trainings, and are able to obey orders better. Archery and javelin are their strengths. Can resist for a while. I have organized them into a team, they can play a role in the defense."

"That's good." Dracos, though satisfied, didn't have a smile on his face. He sullenly continued. "Given the narrow walkway of the newly built wooden wall, it couldn't accommodate too many soldiers. When the enemy attacked, the war , You led the Light Infantry Brigade and these two thousand freemen on the wooden wall, and carried out uninterrupted long-range attacks on the attacking enemies, until the enemies approached under the city wall, you immediately directed them to retreat under the wall, and let the archers continue to use Shoot to kill the enemy and disrupt their offensive rhythm."

"Leader, you can rest assured! Hades will bless my brigade. I'm afraid it will not be your turn to fight, and the enemies will be repulsed by my brothers!" Cpit said confidently.

Draco was happy to see such fighting spirit under his hands, but he would not appreciate and encourage him like Dafus, even joking and active atmosphere, he just slightly nodded, did not respond, looked around other captains, continued to speak My own battle plan: "After Zpitt's troops retreated to the bottom of the city, the first and second brigades and the Bissinian fighters quickly went to the city! The first and second brigades guarded the south wooden wall, and the Bissinian fighters defended the north. Offensive leaves no gaps!

As the reserve team, the third and fourth teams are waiting in the city. Once they find a danger, they will immediately go to support!

The fifth and sixth teams stayed behind in Bisinia!...Everyone, do you understand your mission?!"

"Understood! Brutus is on, we Bisinian fighters will never let a Cosenza man climb the wooden wall!" The young patriotic Krem responded first, and he also represented Bakiripi and silence Brim made a promise to Draco.

"Legion, this is not fair! Our fifth and sixth brigades also want to go to the fortress to kill the enemy!" The sixth captain Trotila shouted aloud.

Although the fifth captain did not speak, the lost expression on his face also explained everything.

Dracos looked at him reluctantly and said: "This is the order!"

"But-" Trotillas wanted to refute and was interrupted by Adrians: "Trotila, you must understand that the city of Bisinia is very important to us! Just in case let Cosenza People have broken through the fortress, and the city of Bisinya you are stationing in will be the last line of defense against the enemy’s blockade of the mountainous area, and the forward base for the army led by Lord Davers!

In order to wake him up, Adrians did not hesitate to be a "crow's mouth." Trotillas was just impulsive, not a fool. He immediately understood what Adrians meant: if the city of Bisinia Without the testimony of Dionysian soldiers, in case of repeated occurrences, the third legion will be cut off, which will not only fall into great danger, but will also completely defeat the attack plan made by Lord Davis!

"I... accept the order." Trotilas replied immediately.

………………………

"Woo!...Woo!..." Bruty's horn sounded in the distance.

Cipit supported the wooden wall stack and looked out: I saw the yellow-green grass in front was covered by dense enemies, like a black tide coming to the city wall...

It should be said that the array of the Bruti people is relatively neat and tight, not as loose as the Lucania.Two hundred meters away from the fortress, the Brutus stopped moving,

"Catch up the slaves and fill me the traps!" Pi Anlun ordered expressionlessly.

Two thousand Bruty tribes, mainly slaves from the Greeks, plundered from Great Greece over the years. Under the threat of the warriors with spears, they came to the front with sacks full of soil and began to tremble. Suo Suo walked forward...

"Captain, they have entered the trap zone!" the soldier next to Zpitt reminded slightly anxiously.

Zpitt looked at him, smiled, and said, "You are a recruit, don't worry, let more enemies in range."

A slave dropped the sack on his back, turned and ran.The other slave immediately threw the sack in the space next to it... one by one, the scene was both nervous and a bit chaotic.Sometimes the slaves accidentally stepped on the trap and made a screaming scream, prompting the slaves to drop the sack more nervously.

But the supervised Bruty warriors not only beat their perfunctory slaves with leather whips, but also stabbed them directly with spears.

Faced with the threat of death, the slaves dared not be lazy, ran obediently to the rear of the array, and then took the sacks to continue paving the road.

"Archer is ready!" Cipet felt that time was ripe and raised his right arm.

More than 500 archers from the 7th Brigade and 2,000 freemen stood on a wooden wall four meters high, drawing bows and arrows one after another.

80 meters, it is within the range of the bow and arrow!After citing a few chants of Hades, Zpitt swung his right hand down with force: "Release!"

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..." A continuous bow string rang, more than two thousand arrows rushed to the sky, and immediately screamed down, evenly spread among the slave groups, and suddenly a bloody flower appeared, and the screaming continued Constantly...

Seeing this scene, Pi Anlun couldn't help moving.Not because of the death and injury of slaves, but unexpectedly there are so many archers of Dionysians, and from the point of view of the arrows, the level of archers is not bad.

Isn’t the Dionysian army here a patchwork, but a main force of the enemy?!You should know that the Bisinians who fled to Cosenza before told him that there were not too many enemies attacking Bisinian city, and there should be no more than a thousand people!In his narrative, Nikulu, who fled back to Cosenza yesterday, also increased the number of enemies by two thousand... All this information gave him considerable confidence in "taking back the city of Bisinia".However, when he came here, an initial fortress had surprised him, and the Dionysian was only a round of arrows, which made her vigilant.

"Large leader, there are a lot of enemy archers!" Petaru was obviously aware of this, and said with some concern.

Pi Anlun maintained the apparent calm: "Let these Greek slaves continue to consume the Dionysian bows and arrows, even if they are all dead!"

The Bruty fighters executed a dozen of the escaped slaves and deterred others.The slaves were forced to fill the earth again, and the city walls continued to shoot relentless arrows...
