Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

He held out his palm to stop Sedorum who wanted to speak again: "In this battle, the Bruti people killed and injured 5,000 people. With the help of the Bissinian fighters, we have confirmed that most of them are Cosenza At the same time, it also captured more than 5,000 people, most of whom were Cosenza." During the battle, Pianren placed the main Cosenza fighters on the center and the right wing. The focus of Dionysia’s counterattack was also on the enemy. Right-wing and center road, so it will lead to such a result.

"The other dead and wounded and captives are also Vigs and Ambalians. That is to say, the important forces used by the Bruti Alliance to maintain your rule and suppress other small tribes have been greatly weakened. As far as I know , The Cosenza people forcibly placed many small tribes in the outer city of Cosenza, as long as I let the Bisinians make promises to these tribes, giving them freedom and more benefits. You talk about it, these tribes will Won't we take the opportunity to revolt and help us capture Cosenza?!"

Daveus said here that Sedorum was shocked and bowed his head in silence: Two days ago, Cosenza had just had a riot. The words of this Dionysian consul may really become a reality!

"Furthermore, when I arrived at Cosenza, I would not immediately attack the city! I heard that the city of Ambalia is extremely rudimentary. I only need to send three or four thousand people. "City -" Daveus mentioned the word "Veg", and Cedolum was shocked again.

"How many soldiers did you take away from there? Do you think I sent 10,000 soldiers to Vigo, with the help of Laos, can you capture Vigo City?"

Cedorrum clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, his expression painful, and said nothing.

"After waiting for Ambalia and Vig to attack Cosenza, oh, by the way, you must be very strange, why don't I attack Knapetia?"

Daveus paused and then said: "Because Knapetia will soon be captured by the 4th Army of Dionysia, don't you believe it? I think Knapetia must have asked Cosenza for reinforcements, Because the stone walls of Knapetiya cannot resist our ballistas and siege towers."

"Ballista?" Sedorum finally raised his head in doubt.

Davers gave him a brief introduction to this new siege device developed by Dionia.

Sedorum's complexion became ugly. In his memory, Pianren did not actively tell him about Knapetia, but Cosenza sent two thousand reinforcements to Knapetia. He knew that. He also objected to Pianlun on this, but Pianlun made a tough decision, which is completely different from his previous style of doing things...According to various signs, he thinks that Davis said The words are very likely to be true. Pianlun had long known that Knapetia could not hold it, and feared the panic of the people of Bruti, so he chose to hide and decided to fight desperately.

Sedorum's heart was cold, and he shivered tremblingly: "Dionia wants to kill all the Bruty?"

"Kill it all? No, we Dionysians are not so cruel." Daveus said seriously: "In my eyes, Brutus, Lucania and Greeks are no different."

Sedorum stared at him incredulously.

"You may ask, if that's the case, why attack Bruty?" Daveus sighed, pulled a weed in his right hand, and wrapped it around his fingers: "For a hundred years, the Bruty people Seeing each other as enemies with the Greeks, killing and killing, never ending. And if the Bruti tribe alliance is established, the conflict with the Greeks will only intensify. Dionysia is forced to grab an advanced attack, not to destroy Bru Mention, but hope to be able to incorporate the Brutus into the Dionysian Union and become a part of the Union. The Mediterranean Sea is large enough to allow us Greeks and Brutus to explore and plant , Grazing...why should there be a death fight for such a little barren land!..."

Sedorum remained silent for a long time and whispered tentatively, "Do you want the tribes of Bruti to become an alliance of Dionysia?"

"Dionia has paid a huge price and paid so many citizens' lives just to make the Bruti become an alliance?!" Daveus changed his face and his voice suddenly increased: "The people of Dionia will not agree, The Senate will not agree!"

"Could we... be like the Lucanians in Nyutum..." Sedorum said bitterly, the city of Vig is not far from Nyutum, he still knows the situation there .

"Bruti merged into Dionysia, the Brutians became Dionyan citizens, and the leaders of the tribes still control the people of their tribes, but Vig, Cosenza, Knapetia, Ambalia, etc. The manager of the town is appointed by the Dionysian Senate... Bisinia has agreed to join the Dionysian Union, and Bacilipi and Brim will also become members of the Dionysian Senate, you can go to the cloth Reem did a better understanding."

The words of Davers made Sedorum's heart shake a little, but he also asked a little unwillingly: "Can't we be allowed... to manage our own towns by ourselves? Bruty people are not used to let foreigners Come to command, I am afraid there will be trouble..."

Daveus said firmly: "All Dionysian territory is subject to the unified governance of the Senate. This will never change! But if you join the Senate, you will one day be elected by the Senate as Cosen. The Chief Executive may even become the Chief Executive of the entire Bruti region..."

Daveus drew a big pie, which made Sedorum's resistance a little less. He pondered for a while, but reluctantly shoved away: "...I'm just the chief of Vig."

"It doesn't matter, you just have to decide the question of where Vegger belongs." Daveus saw him still with his head bowed, hesitant, and said, "You go down and think about it, don't rush to make a decision."

Sedorum responded hurriedly, unwilling to leave.

"Please wait, there is one more thing you can help."

Daveus' words made Sedorum panicked and stumbled, almost falling.

"Please go to appease the captured Bruty soldiers and tell them,'As long as they do what we ask, the Dionysian soldiers will never hurt them, and they will be able to return home safely after a while. But if they gather together and chaos and try to escape, our soldiers will never be soft! And, when Bruty belongs to Dionysia in the future, their families will also be punished!" Daveus said harshly.

"...I'll go talk to them." Sedorum looked somber, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and after talking to Daveus, he seemed to be several years older.

Seeing the unstable footsteps of Sedorum being escorted away by the soldiers, Maltius asked a rare question: "Adult, will this old man surrender?"

Davers smiled: "Just now he agreed to my request is a good start. However, if he can't hurry up, we won't need it at that time."

………………………

The siege of Knaptia has reached the most critical moment.The city wall has been broken by the ballistic artillery's successive attacks, and many trenches have been filled. The soldiers who defended the city were attacked by the ballista and the archers on the top of the siege tower. The casualties were not small.

The Third Army also paid a certain price.The ballistas damaged five because of long-term wear and tear, and the engineering tower also burned two because of the attack of the Bruti people. The soldiers also killed and injured more than 400 people, mostly archers.But Silos still maintains a high-intensity offensive pressure on Knapitia every day. He always remembers to say when Daveus gave him an order in person,'Now in the Mediterranean, whether it is a Greek city-state or another country, attack The city is a huge problem. I hope that after you go to Knapetiya, don’t be afraid of the difficulties and the number of soldiers’ casualties. You must take down that kind of stone city and sum up a set of siege experience for Dionia.'

In the early morning, the soldiers of the Fourth Army and Trina lined up two hundred meters south of Krapetia. In front of the huge formation, five ballistas and three siege towers were lined up in sequence (requirements for making ballistas) It’s very high, and its key components are very delicate, especially the spring set. The Institute of Mathematics spent a lot of time and money to build ten, which can’t be repaired by engineers in three or five days. However, although the siege tower is large, as long as With enough manpower, it is not complicated to make).

The Knapetia warrior, who had been exhausted, had never seen so many enemies under the city at the head of the city, and he could not help but secretly tremble.

The crow, who had been hovering in the air and looking for carrion, also seemed to feel the danger. "Qua" called Feiyuan.

"The commander of the legion is all ready!" Hilos heard the report and immediately said: "Ballista!"

"The ballista is ready!" The team officer ordered.

The axle rotates, the bow string is pulled apart, the stone bomb is put into the chute, the angle and range are set...

"put!"

The five live ammunition flew out with a strong wind, and concentrated on the most broken section of the wall, which opened the prelude to the siege.

Then the second round, the third round... continuous bombardment, making the city wall more and more cracks and bigger...

The city walls that had been repaired overnight were finally overwhelmed, and the stone walls fell down one by one... Finally, in the roar of "Wala Lala", the whole section of the stone wall collapsed downwards, and a cloud of dust instantly rose.

The Dionyan soldiers shouted with joy, while the Knapetiya soldiers sighed and looked like earth.

"Attack!" When the soldiers' morale was high, Hilos gave orders in time.

Immediately the bugle sounded, the battle flag was waving, and the drums were ringing. The soldiers shouted in unison. Under the leadership of the team officers, they carried the cloud ladder and took the squad as a siege echelon, advancing in a loose queue.The huge siege tower was also driven by dozens of laborers, and drove along the flat causeway to the city wall.
