Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Cincinnati thought angrily: Elijah, this small Greek state that has been bullied and almost destroyed by Pecosis, dared to run into the territory of Pecosis and make trouble!Could it be that after becoming a member of the Dionysian League, the Greek cowards who only knew that they were hiding in the city had the courage?!Doesn't it know that after provokes Picoxis, no one can save it!

He swears in his heart: After conquering Grummentum, he must destroy Elia!

But dreams are dreams. Realistic problems must be solved.Although the situation on his side was at a critical moment, Picoxis had to rescue him immediately.Although it is impossible for 1,000 Elias to break through the city of Picos, letting them wreak havoc outside the city will shake the support of the people to Cincinnati.You know, although Cincinnati has made various tribes in various years, his tribe has an absolute advantage among the various tribes of Picoxis, but after all, the city of Picoxis is not only one of his tribes, and even if In his tribe, the elders and priests were not completely concentric with him.The last time, after returning from a fiasco in Grummentum, the people were somewhat dissatisfied.And this time Elijah's invasion, he must act immediately, otherwise let the soldiers know that their anger alone will make him a headache.

He had to stop the attack that was about to start again, and Paignet led 3,000 people (two thousand in Pecosis and one thousand in other tribal warriors), and returned to Pecossis City in an effort to destroy all the invading enemies as soon as possible. Annihilate to relieve the evil in your heart.

At the same time, the postponement of the offensive means increased pressure on military food. He also sent a team of soldiers to collect food. The so-called "recruitment" is actually burning and looting, which forced those neutral tribes to flee into the mountains or join Grummantu. The tribes in southern Muam, the Dionysian side...

In Knapetia, the ballistic artillery shells of the 4th Army of Dionynia fired stone bullets for most of the day, causing many cracks in the city walls. The scattered stones also injured some of the city’s warriors, making the city’s warriors They were frightened and demoralized.

The chieftain Pan Gailu had to make up his mind: send troops out at night to destroy these terrible siege weapons!

In fact, the ballista is not heavy by itself. The reason why Silos, who was always cautious, did not move it back to the barracks when he landed, but just built a barrier in front of the group of ballistas, just wanted to lead the snake out of the hole.

As a result, Knapetiya’s raid troops were ambushed by the soldiers of the Fourth Army ambushing around the ballista, and after some fighting, they were almost wiped out.

After Pangelu lost hundreds of fighters, he no longer dared to act rashly.

The next day, under the cover of ballistas and light infantry's long-range fire, the three embankments built by the soldiers and the people of Trina approached the trenches in front of the city, and then they began to lay stones on the embankment 100 meters outside the city.

Then, the Knapetiya warrior was surprised to see that the three wooden towers were slowly pushed onto the paved causeway.

These wooden towers are five meters high, plus a one-meter high causeway, which is two meters taller than the stone wall. The upper and lower widths are the same, both are two meters, and the front and back width is three meters.It is made of wood, covered with wet cowhide on the outside, a huge wooden wheel at the bottom, and a wooden stacking port around the top, which can accommodate three or four archers. A suspension bridge is hung at the top in front of it, and a long drag is drawn at the rear. Wooden ladder, when the siege tower is close to the wall, the suspension bridge is put down and placed on the wall. The soldiers can climb the wooden ladder and directly penetrate the wall through the tower and the suspension bridge, making the siege easier.

The siege tower designed by Dionia engineers and carpenters is relatively simple and has a single function. It cannot be compared with the giant siege tower made by Syracuse. The only highlight is that it takes into account the safety of labor. Because three wooden poles protrude from the upper ends of the wheels on both sides of the siege tower, and a wooden shed similar to the eaves protrudes above the wooden pole. The person pushing the tower stands outside the causeway and can just stand and hold the wooden pole and wooden shed Blocked the arrows from the enemy for them, they can concentrate on pushing the siege tower forward.

As the towering siege tower advanced slowly, the Knapetiya warriors were stunned.Although the siege tower has been used in the Mesopotamian plains for a long time, it has never appeared in the Greek world of small countries with few people and city-states. The tyrant Dionysius of Syracuse took the lead against Greece. The siege technology has undergone a breakthrough innovation, but this has just happened, and it has not spread, let alone the closed Bruti, they have never seen such a huge siege equipment, bows, rockets, javelins They didn't hurt it at all, throwing stones but not far away. Perhaps the Dionysian siege weapon that can fire stone bombs might destroy it, but Knapetiya did not, the soldiers could only Watching it close to the moat.

Then, the archer in heavy armor drilled and attacked the tower. He climbed the wooden ladder to the top of the tower and started shooting arrows at the soldiers on the wall.

Arrows from both sides.The Dionian archer, who was in a high place and protected by armor and wooden fences, clearly had the upper hand despite the small number of people.

Dionysian soldiers took the opportunity to fill the moat with sand and sand to push the siege tower under the city.

Anxious Pan Gelu ordered his men to desperately try to stop the enemy's attempt, while sending people to Cosenza for help quickly.He knew in his heart that if there were no reinforcements, it would only be a few days for Knapetia to be broken...

Although the bloody and brutal battle of the fortress took place yesterday, it seems to have been a long time ago.

Earlier this morning, the head of the Second Army Corps, Drakos, and the first captain, Adrian Ans, waited outside the city of Bisinia with a smile, welcoming Dioria’s consul and the commander-in-chief of the army, Dave. The arrival of Sri Lanka.

In the greeted team, there were the former leaders of Bisinia City, Bakiripi, Brim, the new leader Crelu, and some nobles in the tribes of Bisinia, they were either nervous, or Excited, or excitedly waiting for Dionysia's supreme power.

In order to prevent accidents, Drakos ordered the fifth and sixth brigades in the city to make careful deployment and vigilance.

"Kreiru, is Dionia's Archon Daveus really younger than us?!" Bardom Lippi's young nephew Rodom couldn't help but ask Kreir next to him. The relationship between people can only be said to be average, but after yesterday's side by side battle, the two young people quickly became friends.

"I asked Drax, it should be right! But don't you think of him as a young man!" Kreru reminded, quietly pointing at the officers of the Third Army: "Look at Della Are there any Dionysians in Kos? We usually look up when facing us, but now we look completely different. Which is like welcoming young people!"

"Of course I understand! I heard Uncle Barchiripi say that Daveus is a descendant of a god in Greece. He has never failed on the battlefield, and no one in Dionysian dared to disrespect him!" Luo Dom replied.

At this time, some soldiers hurriedly ran from the eastern defensive camp, shouting excitedly: "Master Davis is coming! He is coming!"

Draco shouted immediately: "Get ready!"

The team officers began to sort out the uniforms, and the bugle and snare drums also played together.

After a while, the sound of tidy footsteps came along with the slight vibration of the ground. A long column quickly appeared in front of everyone: a person in front of the column in full body uniforms, leather sandals, bronze shanks, linen breastplate and ordinary weight Infantry is no different, only the helmet is different. It is not a heavy Corinth helmet, but a new type of iron helmet. The crown is decorated with long red and purple feathers. It is very elegant. There is no protection on the front of the helmet, only Both sides of the cheek are protected by the jaws, so they can be seen clearly. The wide forehead, thick eyebrows, straight nose, moderate chin, the eyes are not big but extremely godlike, they look young but not childish. majesty.His pace is large and powerful, but the speed is not too fast, it seems that the whole person is full of vitality and steady...

Is this Dionys's Archon Davers?!The curious Bisinians found the answer in the straight chests and admiring eyes of the Dionysian and soldiers.

Daveus came to Drakos in the eyes of hundreds of double-focused eyes. Drakos made a clean salute: "Master Commander, all the soldiers of the Second Army welcome you!"

Daveus responded immediately, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Yes, Drax, you have a big scene! When did you learn this set?"

Dracos looked at Adrianx with some embarrassment.

Daphes understood and laughed: "It's Adrianx's idea. It seems that the Isthmus Games are not in vain. But such ceremonies should still be done after the end of the war, and everything should be simplified during the war."

If others talk like this, Adrians will think that this is to expose his scar, and there will definitely be dissatisfaction in his heart.But for Daveus, he thought carefully and accepted: "Adult, you are right! The war is not over, we must take it seriously!"

Dave Si smiled heartily, and gave Adrians a warm hug: "I was shocked when I got the news on the road. Adrian, you only took 700 people to capture Bissi. Niah City is really a bold and decisive action! It’s amazing! It’s amazing! You and your first brigade can get a single star! The Dionysian people will also be happy to tell your victory!"

This was exactly what Adrians was happy to hear. There was nothing left in his heart. He was so happy that he didn't know how to respond.

Daveus solemnly paid a military salute to Draco, and Shen Sheng said: "This time the Second Army not only successfully won Bisinia, but also successfully defended it, conquering Brutilly for our next step. First achievement! Draco, on behalf of Dionia, thank you and the brothers of the Second Army for your contribution and sacrifice to the alliance!"
