Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

In the exaggerated narrative of the messenger: a siege device can throw a round stone block that is the size of a crock a few hundred meters away, accurately hitting the city wall, and a strong impact can cause damage to the city wall and suffer a long period of time. The impact can even make the city wall collapse; another weapon is like a movable sentry tower, which is built higher than the city wall, and the archer on the top of the tower can easily attack the defenders on the city wall. It is close to the city wall and the suspension bridge is lowered, so that the enemy can easily rush to the head of the city...The combination of these two siege equipment is simply a nightmare in any city, but they are all owned by Dionia!

Pi Arun is not only worried about Knapetiya, he is even more worried about Cosenza.Originally in his plan, in the worst case, he could retreat to Cosenza and use the strong wall to resist the attack of the Dionysians until the enemy retired.However, the courier's story shook his decision. He didn't want to be trapped in the city. The Dionysian used a dozen or dozens of such siege equipment to throw stones and kept hitting his head... Therefore, the city of Knapetiya must be guarded, otherwise, once captured by Dionia, Cosenza will be defeated on both sides.

But at this moment, under the circumstances that Tian Chong has lost and Dionysian's strength has occupied a great advantage, the Bruty Alliance is in a dilemma. Defensiveness alone is too passive and the possibility of failure is too great.Therefore, Pianlun is more inclined to take risks, as long as he can defeat Dionysia's main force, all difficulties will be solved!

His eyes turned to Bisinia, who had surrendered, because it is the closest to the center of Dionysia, Turri, and Dionysia’s main force will definitely attack from here.

After thinking over and over again, he finally made the final decision: send two thousand reinforcements to Knapetiya, and persuade Burgam to return to Ambalia, and send a messenger to Vige, hoping that Bergam and Sedo The two Alliance elders of Rum can bring as many fighters as possible to support the battle between the Bruty Alliance and Dionia.

……………………

In order to wait for the arrival of the heavy load and meet the needs of the operation, Davers waited two more days in Bisinia.

Don't look at Bisinia's proximity to Turriy, but transportation is difficult due to road conditions.In order to make transportation easier, Davers learned his lesson and ordered the soldiers to carry rations again for five days.

Early on the third day, Davers led the First Army, Second Army, Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, Cavalry Brigade, Heraclea Allies, Castron Allies, Bisinian Warriors, Legion Reserve, Two Thousand Freemen... Except for a small number of legionary reserves stationed in Bisinia City, only the total number of people fighting for Cosenza was calculated to be about 24,000, platooned into dragons, and marched westward along the mountain road.

Pi Anlun received the return of the reconnaissance ride is close to noon: Dionysian army entered the Cosenza plateau, and saw the striking military flag of Dionysian consul.

The news made Piallen unable to sit still. He immediately called an emergency meeting. In addition to Petaru and Firotaru, as well as Bergam and Sedorum, who had just arrived with troops last night, Pangelu also In Knapetiya, he resisted the enemy's attack, and Nikuru had already died in battle. The "Seven-member Elders' Panel" actually only had five people. It would inevitably make people in the hall feel sad.

"I guess the Dionysians will camp in this area when they approach Cosenza in the afternoon." Pi Anlun's finger drew a circle about six miles east of the Cosenza icon on the map, and he was very emotional Said: "With the protection of Amara, we should use their discomfort after entering Cosenza and take the initiative to attack when they are camping, forcing them to fight the decisive battle!"

Sedorum understood what Pi Anlun meant by "discomfort".Because of the high terrain of Cosenza, outsiders are here, and there is no problem with normal movements. However, once vigorous exercise, for a long time, it is easy to be tired and difficult to breathe.The Bruty warriors, especially the Cosenza, have adapted to this environment since childhood, and there will be no abnormalities in their actions.

In addition, he already knows the situation of Knapetiya, so he does not have much hope for the defense of the city.

He and Burgam looked at each other with dignified expressions, and finally agreed.

So, each went back to convene the team, waiting nervously for the arrival of Dionysian Army.

But only half an hour later, Pi Anlun once again urgently sent someone to call them.

"The elders, just after receiving the news, the Dionysians stopped moving near the Punat River and started camping!" Pi Anlun said anxiously.

Punat River!Sedorum and Bergam hurried to see the map in the center of the hall.

The Punat River, said to be a river, is actually more like a stream. It eventually merges into the upper reaches of the Krati River. The area through which it flows is relatively flat. The key is that it is almost located in Bisinia and Cosenza intermediate.

"So far from Cosenza, it's still too early, and it's time to take a break?!" Bergam murmured in doubt.

"The traitors of Bisinia! The Great God Amara will punish them!" Firotaro said angrily.

Sedorum understands the reason for the high priest's anger. In his memory, the terrain of the Punat River is not as high as here, and the impact on people is not obvious.

He hurriedly looked at Pi Anlun and asked, "What is the chief leader going to do?"

Pi Anlun also followed the high priest's curse. He also thought that the Dionysian's move must be more secret than the Sinian, which destroyed the plan he had designed in advance.

He thought about it and then stared at everyone, and said seriously: "Now, Knapetiya is being violently attacked by the enemy every day, and may be broken by the Dionysians at any time! And we are on our side to let the enemy Slowly advance, gradually adapt and become familiar with the weather and environment here, or make up your mind and concentrate on attacking them?! You choose!"

Sedorum and Bergam looked at each other again, and his eyes gradually flashed with determination: "Do we have any choice!"

"Great God Amara will bless our children of Brutus!" Firotaro chanted...

……………………………

Davers chose to camp near Punat out of caution.

When Barchiripi reminded him that'outsiders will experience some discomfort when entering the Cosenza area', a word immediately appeared in his mind-altitude sickness: the higher the terrain, the thinner the air and the less oxygen, People will be tired from lack of oxygen.Of course, this height of the Cosenza Plateau is nothing compared to Tibet in the far east, but in a fierce battle, it is likely to become a decisive factor.

Davers now has the advantage. He does not need to take risks. He only needs to steadily advance to Cosenza, so that the soldiers can gradually adapt to the altitude sickness here, familiar with the geographical environment here, and gradually put pressure on Cosenza to make It did not dare to divide its troops to reinforce Knapetia.

Although he could not keep abreast of Knapetiya’s battlefield dynamics, out of trust in Hilos and the Fourth Army with two siege equipment, he believed that in Knapetiya, the Fourth Army’s plan was in absolute Advantages, once the city of Knapetiya is broken, the Dionysian army is advancing from east to west. Not only does the advantage soar, but it will also deter the entire Brudi area, which may directly lead to the disintegration of the Bruty Alliance, even without fighting. You can make the Bruti surrender!

Although the idea was good, Davers did not relax his vigilance. According to the provisions of the Dionysian Army Act to build a camp in the battlefield area, he did not let all the soldiers be involved in the construction of the camp, but only let the First Army and The soldiers of the reserve team started to work first, with the help of freemen, and the Second Army and its allies, as well as the Bissinian fighters, took care of it.

"Why did we build this camp first? We are the first legion of Dionysia!" Heit Barrus stared at the soldiers of the second legion who were sitting and resting in front of him, digging and sulking. Complained unevenly.

"Perhaps because the second legion had just ended the battle with the Brutus the day before yesterday. Commander Lord gave them rewards!" Pecials guessed.

Leotizides listened to his teammates, and thought to himself: Although the Spartans also pay more attention to the camp, they did not pay attention to Dionysia to a point where he thought it was paranoid, When the troops arrive at the main point, the first thing is to consider how to build an extremely strong camp, and even engineers to measure and accept, and if they fail, they will be punished... even if he is in the boot camp, after many times of practice, in Tarantu Mu has really practiced it, but he is still a bit uncomfortable.

"If the second legion is replaced by our first legion to attack Bisinia, we will accomplish better! It is not because the commander is not fair, and this key task was given to the second legion and commanded us. The First Army was either climbing mountains or marching. These days I don’t know how many roads I have taken. My feet are blistered!"

Hyterbarus chattered out his depression, and then his head was tapped with a slap: "Hatebalus, don’t talk nonsense, work hard! If you slow down our construction progress, our team will lose. To Oliver's team, Captain Matonis will never treat you lightly!" Captain Sitarsis scolded.

When he mentioned Matonis, Heterbarus dared not say anything.

Leotizides felt a little emotion: Matonis, the mighty-looking captain, loved his soldiers very much, and could even be said to be extremely short.Leotizides saw him several times arguing with soldiers for being punished by military law for violating discipline, and even arguing with the military judges who were considered "terrible" by soldiers, and even once arguing with Davers, plus his amazing power. And skill, so the soldiers love and respect him.
