Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Looking at the enemies like the tide, Pan Gailu looked grim. The fearful expression on the soldiers around him worried him. He suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "Warriors of Knapetia, you have succeeded Has blocked the powerful enemy for nearly a month, and now the biggest test has come. Think about your parents, wife, and children, they are behind us and need our protection. Show your courage, in the cloth Under the protection of Rutus, these timid enemies will be repelled! Our Bruti warriors will never be slaves!"

"The chief leader is right! We cannot be defeated, we must not be slaves!"

"We fight with the Greeks!!"

Encouraged by Pangelu, the Knapetia warriors boosted their morale and began to draw bows to the enemies approaching the trench...

As a representative of Crotone, Dioridas, a member of Crotone’s Hundred People’s Council, came to Trina with tons of grain and dozens of sheep. In the name of the South Italian League, he condolences the Fourth Army of Dionia, The main thing is to observe the progress of Dionia’s war against Bruty, which happened to witness this siege.

Later, he returned to Crotone and described the situation to the council with a surprised look: "...The Dionysians invented a terrifying siege weapon. They called it a ballista, it was like Like a bow and arrow, it can shoot a dozen pounds of stone projectiles hundreds of meters away, and can hit the city wall more accurately. The stone wall of Knapetiya appeared after several consecutive bombardments of this new siege equipment. A big gap.

The Dionysians also made something called a siege tower. It was like a movable wooden tower, taller than the wall of Knappetiya, when the Dionysians pushed it towards Kna As Petia approached, the archer at the top of the tower kept shooting arrows at the enemy on the wall.When approaching the city wall, a heavy suspension bridge was immediately laid down on the siege tower, and placed on the head of the city, the Dionysian soldiers rushed to the head of Krapetia through the suspension bridge of the siege tower.

The Dionysians not only use ballistas and siege towers, they also use cloud ladders to climb the city walls as much as we do.I saw that each of their soldiers was rushing to attack. They rarely flinched because their teammates fell into the city. Their courage was no less than the citizens of our Crotone.But the Knapetiya warrior was not as fierce as he used to face us.Maybe they were too few, or maybe they were frightened by Diona’s terrible siege equipment... In short, the battle only lasted until the afternoon, and Dionysia’s Fourth Army figure scored into Knappe In the city of Tia, Pangulu, the chief of Knapetiya, also died in battle..."

After Diolidas finished speaking, the meeting was silent.

Not long ago, I received news that Dionysia had defeated Bisinia, and now Knapitia has been defeated... When did the Bruti, who had a headache in Crotone, become so weak?!Or did Dionyan's army become stronger than Crotone's civic soldiers could match?!The Crotones were at a loss: they had seen the outbreak of war, and they hoped that Dionia would have a big fight in front of the Brutus, so that Crotone could take advantage.But now it seems that this is just a beautiful fantasy of Crotone. The strength of Dionysia has made people here feel terrified.

"This is a good thing!" General Sisprotis stood up and said aloud: "The nightmare that has plagued the people of Crotone and other city-states for a century has finally hoped to be ended! The people of Crotone know, Will be very happy!"

Ciprotis's words made people who still have other thoughts realize that even if they want to pull Dionys' hind legs, their proposal may not pass the civic assembly.

At this time, Chief General Lucias got up and said: "As a member of the Southern Italian League, we should be happy for Dionia's victory! Although Dionya did not invite Crotone to join the war, but the same In the Confederation of Southern Italy, Crotone should join other allies to give Dionysia enough supplies to show our support for Dionysia!"

On the day of the Fourth Army's massive siege, the army led by Davers remained in the camp on the banks of the Punat.

The soldiers were busy sending the wounded and sick back to the city of Bisinia, and the battalion battalion transported the military supplies from Turui to Bisinia to the camp.

Davers was staring at the map of the Bruti Mountains in the military account, thinking about the next move.

At this time, Tolmed came in: "Sir, there are a lot of Brutus from outside the camp. A person named Hegsitus headed to ask you to see you."

With a move in his heart, Davers said immediately, "Let him come in!"

It turned out that the riots before Cosenza were instigated by Hegsitus. With the return of the forces of Piallen who attacked the fortress, these rebellious tribes who knew they were invincible escaped from Cosenza.At the time, Pianlun was busy dealing with the Dionyan army and had no energy to enter them, but these tribes brought their families with their mouths and brought little food. They went into the mountains and ate a lot of hardships, not to mention, two days In a lot of time, the grain has been almost exhausted.

As a result, these tribes began to complain to Hegsitus, and his eyes became even worse.

It was at this time that the clan who went out to inquire about the news brought back a shocking news: the Bruty Alliance and Dionia fought on the Punat River. As a result, Bruti defeated, and Pianlun set off from Cosenza The huge army led by Shi had little left when he fled back.

The news immediately caused these tribes to change their attitude towards Hegsitus.

Hegsitus acted decisively and led these tribes to the Dionysian army to seek refuge.

For the sudden increase of more than two thousand mouths that consume military food, Daeves did not care too much. He was interested in Hegetus, which was a clever move he used. The first answer submitted by Gesitus exceeded his expectations.

He looked at this man with the appearance of a Greek, but with a height and physique different from that of the Greek, and a messy long hair. He asked curiously, "How did you persuade them?"

"Master Sir." Hegecitus knew his opportunity was coming, and he explained in detail: "Before the establishment of the Bruti Tribal Alliance, the Cosenza tribe headed by Piarron was constantly forcibly annexed. The weak tribes around. Since the establishment of the Bruty Alliance, in order not to arouse the resentment of the big leaders such as Vig and Bisinia, Pianlun proposed that this alliance establish a "leader federation" organization, all voluntary Or the tribal leaders who were forced to surrender gathered in it, saying that they were unified to manage and decide the alliance affairs. In fact, these tribal leaders had no power at all, and the alliance affairs were all alliance elders composed of several chiefs and high priests. The decision (that is, the Council of Seven Elders). The people of these tribes were completely dismantled and forced to form a household, which was directly managed by the Alliance, and of course also paid taxes directly to the Alliance every year.

The leaders of the tribe have lost all their rights, of course, they will not be reconciled, and the warriors in the tribe are not used to it.Adults, you should know that each tribe of these indigenous peoples has basically the same bloodline and has been multiplied for hundreds of years. They are all related by bloodline. They usually help each other if they have any difficulties. Now they suddenly leave the tribe. To rely on, to live independently, many soldiers' lives are worse than before.And in the city of Cosenza, they are vulnerable to bullying by large tribal warriors.Therefore, whether it is a leader or a soldier, there will of course be dissatisfaction in my heart..."

Daphes listened seriously, nodding from time to time.He feels: In fact, this set of measures of the Bruti Tribal Alliance is further than the original system of the Lukaria Tribal Alliance, which is to prepare for the complete disintegration of the old tribal system and to concentrate the power to the top of the alliance.If they were really made, it would be a great enemy of Dionia.

"Master, in order to protect the Xilu tribe, you do not hesitate to fight with the Bruti tribe alliance!" Hegecitus little flattered Daveus, and then said: "In order to fight, the Bruti alliance must suspend After the surrender of these tribes, I sneaked into Cosenza and said to them,'Dionia will defeat the Bruty Alliance and restore the rights and freedom of your tribe!'" Hegsitus gave Daveus a careful look, a little worried that his own claims would be criticized by Daveus.

"You're right!" Daveus praised.From the depths of his heart, he also hopes to conquer the powers of various tribes like the Bruti Alliance, and all the Bruti people are directly under the rule of Dionia, but he is sensible and knows such brutality. The result can only intensify the conflict between the Greeks and the Brutus, and destabilize the area, which is more than worth for Dionysia.As an organization of the same race, the Broty Alliance has a far greater strength than other tribes, yet these small tribes are violent and even riotous.The Greeks, who have always had hatred with the Bruti people, implemented this centralized measure, fearing that there would be no good results, so after conquering Bruti, Davers still decided to implement the same as in Lucania The strategy, that is, the way of boiling frogs with warm water, apparently promises the tribe’s privileges, and secretly exerts a subtle influence on the Bruti fighters through the army and culture, and finally makes it out of the tribal control.

"These tribes were initially tempted by my proposal, but hesitated, until the army of adults suddenly captured the city of Bisinia, shaking the entire Cosenza, before they made up their minds!" Hegsitus was excited Said: "Now the army of adults has once again hit the army of Bruti, I think this victory will have a huge impact on the situation in the city of Cosenza!"
