Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

316 Bruti's retreat and Elia's intrusion

Fortunately, behind the wooden wall, there was also a sentry tower more than a meter taller than the wall and the support of the light infantry led by Cipit under the city, the bows and javelins fired by freemen, which made the southern wooden wall so far so basic. Keep it safe.

Cipet shot with an arrow, and the middle of the enemy's chest protruding into the wooden wall. The thick leather robe seemed to be completely penetrated, and the enemy fell to the ground.

Cipet reached for the arrow habitually, but found that the barrel was empty.

"Go get a new arrow!" Cipet shook his right hand and said to the guard next to him.

After a while, the escort hurried back and handed him a barrel filled with ten arrows, and at the same time said, "Captain, the quartermaster let you save money. There are not many arrows left."

"How can it be used so quickly?!" Cpit said slightly dissatisfiedly.

"I asked him the same way, but he said that we have more than 2,000 archers for light infantry and freemen, and each person has 20,000 arrows per barrel, and now almost all archers have used up one... I also said... I also said, "The arrows were bought with money, and the price is not low. This time, because our Second Army had the need for defensive operations in advance planning, Lord Melis gave us allotments. 30,000 arrows, otherwise it will never make us so wasteful!'" Guards have some wronged rumors.

Despite his anger, Zpitt’s quartermasters now belong to Melses. When he thinks of the stingy fat man, Zpitt has a headache. He said loudly, "Brothers, there is nothing to worry about when the bow and arrow are used up. , We still have the blade and the spear, are you right?!"

"Correct!!!"

…………………………

The siege battle made Pi Anlun very anxious. He turned to look at the soldiers resting in the rear, hesitating whether to send the last 5,000 people, but the narrow battlefield made the wooden wall too crowded. No matter how many people there seem to be of no avail.

At this moment, he heard the thunder of "Rumble..." followed by cheers.

"The wooden wall collapsed! The enemy's wall collapsed!!..." The soldiers beside him cheered, and Pi Anlun looked back excitedly: A big gap appeared in the middle of the southern section of the wooden wall in the front fortress, Bruti The soldiers are scrambling to rush in...

"Don't panic! Don't panic!..." Bream soothed the panicked Bisinian soldier loudly.Baguilipi was too old. The warriors in his tribe were led by Baguilipi's nephew, so Brim was the oldest, the oldest and the most prestigious of the three leading leaders in Sinia.Although he didn't really want to fight the Cosenza, but in the battlefield, he had to work hard for the survival of the clan.

"Keep your position, the wall will not fall back again!..." Bream shouted loudly, he knew very well that the gap was due to the negligence of the soldiers, which caused the wooden wall to be burned by fire and the wood. The collision will cause the wooden wall to be damaged and the earth pit to collapse.

"Stop the front! Don't worry about the enemies that rushed in, there are Dionysians behind to pick them up!..." He said this because he had seen the heavily armed Dionysian soldiers in the wooden wall gap The rear array was waiting, and the rapid and orderly movement of the Dionysian army surprised him.

For the soldiers of the third and fourth brigades of the Second Corps, the collapse of the wooden wall is a good thing. They can finally make up for the regret that they did not kill the enemy in the upper city.

When the Bruti warriors stepped on the earth barrier that collapsed into a slope, kicked off the broken wooden fence, and rushed into the wall, they suddenly found themselves facing an iron wall surrounded by countless copper shields and countless sharp bayonets, In the rhythm of the drums of war, the Dionysian soldiers steadily fired and closed their guns, and every stabbing may take a life...

The Bruty fighters who rushed in could not form an array with their companions, nor did the team officers organize, relying on personal bravery to resist the group attack of the Dionysian army, but also had to guard against the arrows and bissies from the overhead tower. Javelin.

In the short period of time after breaking into the wooden wall, the casualties of the Bruti fighters were rising sharply. They were frightened and wanted to retreat. However, the return road was blocked by the surging soldiers who were rushing into the back.

The third and fourth brigades of the Second Legion made steady attacks, shrinking the enclosing circle smaller and smaller, resulting in the Bruty fighters crowding into a mass, and even wielding weapons was very difficult.

Pi Anlun was glad to see that many Bruty fighters rushed into the gap together, but soon the scene was like a stagnation. The fighters wandered around the gap but could not enter, and he was a little uneasy in his heart.Then, he was surprised to see that the Bruty soldiers there suddenly fled, and a team of brightly-guarded Dionysian soldiers poured out from the gap of the city wall. They attacked the others who were attacking the city from the side. The Bruti warrior, soon retreating is no longer just the point of the gap, but has evolved into the entire Bruti's offensive line...

Seeing this scene, Pi Anlun was half cold in his heart, strangling out the winning luck, he saw it: the Dionysian army occupying Bisinia was not just the Dior of the chiefs who judged only a few thousand soldiers The main force of Nyafie, and most likely the Legion declared by the Diorians!

"Quickly retreat..." he shouted in pain.

However, when he finally gathered the defeated soldiers and returned to the camp in frustration, he got even worse news.

"What did you say?! There was a riot in Cosenza?!"

"Yes, the chief. Sedum, Sass, Bois... A dozen tribes and other tribes suddenly led the tribes to attack the inner city early in the morning after you left the army. If not, the leader of Katurk The team arrived in time, I am afraid they will attack the inner city! Now they occupy the west of the outer city, the high priest sent me to inform you quickly, I hope that the chieftain can quickly settle these rebellions and let Cosenza recover Tranquility!" said the messenger anxiously.

"Understood, you go back and tell the high priest, I will immediately take the army back, let him not panic, and first guard the inner city with Kadulke!" Pi Anlun quickly made a decision.At first, in order to monitor and rule these less obedient tribes nearby, the "Seven-Person Elders Panel" decided after deliberation and forced them to move to the outer city of Cosenza.This rebellion sounded the alarm for Pianlun. The invasion of the Dionysians had affected various tribes in the Bruti region, especially those tribes who were previously dissatisfied with the alliance and forced to succumb. Act quickly to avoid worsening the situation.

He asked Petaru to carry out the order to pull the camp.

Soon, Bergam broke into the big tent and shouted excitedly: "Am I wrong, Pielun, are you going back to Cosenza?! Let these Dionysians continue to build fortresses here, and we are like this gone?!"

"Elder Bergam, what else can we do in such a bad situation? Can we continue to attack the fortress?" Pi Anlun was no longer as anxious as he had just heard the news, he asked calmly: "That Behind the city walls, there are probably six or seven thousand Dionysian soldiers with strict training, and more than two thousand Bisinian traitors who have surrendered to them, plus that fortified fortress, you think we can rely on us Have you captured this stronghold?! You know, we killed nearly two thousand people in today's battle! Two thousand people! It is equivalent to the majority of the Ambalia warriors you brought!"

After listening, Bergam sat down deafly... He raised his head and murmured in a dry voice: "Could it be like watching the Dionysian army pass Bisinia and break into our homeland..."

"Then let them come!" Pi Anron roared, his eyes shining brightly, looking directly at Bergam, and stepped forward to give him a strong hug, and said firmly in a hard tone: "We want Go back and recruit all the Bruty warriors! We are going to fight the Dionysians on the Cosenza plateau! This battle will determine the rise or fall of the Bruty people, and the plateau goddess Amara will bless us!"

"Plateau..." The reminder of Pergamum Anron rekindled the fighting spirit again: "Yes, we have the protection of Amara! We also have the Cosenza plateau!..."

The vigorous Cincinnati was surrendered to many tribes in northern Grummentum and marched south smoothly.After reaching the south, he finally encountered obstacles.

The tribes who had previously moved from Niutum were the first tribes to surrender to Dionysia. Compared to Picoxis, who was far west of Grummentum, they recognized Dionysia and trusted Dior. Nia.They drove out the messengers sent by Cincinnati, and united to prepare for the fight against Picos.

Cincinnati was furious and prepared to attack the disobedient tribe.But news came: There was a movement in the city of Grumentum on the north side, and about 2,000 Dionysian soldiers came out of the city.

This made Cincinnati fear that when attacking the Lucanian tribe in the south, they would be suddenly attacked by the Dionysians from the flanks, so they had to withdraw their troops.

As soon as Pecos's troops were withdrawn, the Dionysians withdrew into the city.

This was the case for two days. Cincinnati made a judgment: the Dionysians in the city were just pretending to be. They had neither the courage nor the heart to attack him.

So he let Gnenet take two thousand soldiers to stare at the city of Grummentum, and he led his army to conquer the southern tribes.

At this time, the city of Picos sent an emissary to tell him the bad news: a thousand Elias invaded the territory of Picos, they destroyed the farmland and burned the settlement, and because of the limited strength in the city of Picos, Don’t dare to attack rashly and ask Cincinnati to give an emergency response!

After Cincinnati heard it, he thundered.
