Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

332 Victory is in sight

"These guys are so brave, do they want to riot?!" Petaru has recovered his spirits after a night of rest. He angrily asked Pi Anlun: "Big leader, I will take a thousand soldiers to take them first Push back!"

Pi Anlun's crumpled forehead formed a deep gully. He shook his head, loosened his clenched fist, and turned to look at the high priest Philotaru, Shen Sheng said: "High priest, you have to go Trip... ask them what they really want, try to stabilize them."

"Big leader!" Petaru hurriedly shouted: "Do not be weak on these guys! Otherwise... otherwise they will be out of our control and may even...threaten the security of Cosenza!"

Because there were only Pianlun, Petaru, and Ferrotaru in the meeting hall, there was no taboo when Pianlun spoke. He looked at the two with a deep sorrow, and sighed heavily. Tone: "It's all my responsibility to fail this battle! I... I shouldn't take a chance to fight the Dionysians. I originally thought that even if we couldn't win, with our familiarity with the terrain, the soldiers Equipment that is lighter than the Greeks can also easily escape from the battlefield and return to the city to defend the enemy from the siege...Ah...Unexpected...Unexpectedly, a battle caused us to lose so much !Dionia is really different from other Greek city-states like Crotone! I'm sorry for the tribe!"

"Big Chief, this is not your fault. It is the collective decision of the Presbyterian Church to fight against Dionia." Petaru comforted his father-in-law. He hesitated and whispered, "Why not...we Sum with Dionia?"

As soon as these words came out, Pian Lun and Ferrotaru were shocked.

"Under such circumstances, Dionia will agree to a truce with us?" Firotaro expressed doubts.

"No! You can give it a try!" Pi Anlun's eyes lit up, and he was inspired by Petaro's words. He thought more: "Petaru, you sent the messenger to Camp Dionia. A consul said,'Cosenza is willing to be an alliance with Dionysia, just like Laos.' If the reconciliation can succeed, Cosenza will temporarily become a subsidiary of Dionysia, which will allow the captured soldiers We return, and we still have time to slowly recover our strength. If not, we must patiently negotiate with them. As far as I know, the Archon of Dionysia is not a very tyrannical person, so he forgave the card Stron, Crotone, then why can't we loosen the tight rope around Cosenza's neck! At least let us win some time to solve the people in the outer city, now Cosenza can't stand it anymore There is a riot!"

……………………………

Cosenza's messenger rushed to the Dionysian camp. After hearing his intentions, Davers immediately pointed out: Cosenza can only be fully integrated into the Dionysian Union, there is no other way to go!

He categorically refused the request of the messenger to discuss in detail, how could he give Cosenza a breathing opportunity while he had the absolute advantage.

On the third day after the battle, Dionia's army moved westward.The cavalry spread out six or seven miles away, investigating the surroundings; the first army as a striker, stubborn and sharp; the second army on both sides of the middle of the team, the wings are in the middle of the heavy battalion, medical camp, engineering battalion... and Half-hungry Bruty captives are under the supervision of Dionysian soldiers, carrying supplies, pushing pack cars, and looking after livestock; Legion Reserve and Allied forces are guards...

The entire marching team is vast, even on the vast expanse of plateau, still can not see the head at a glance.

Three hours later, Davers saw Cosenza, the great city that stood in front of him.

At this time, the captain of the cavalry team, Ledes, came quickly from the front of the team: "Master Commander, the Fourth Army is coming to us!"

"That's great!" Davies was overjoyed, a horse in the excitement, the war horse spread his four hoofs, and ran forward.The escort followed closely, and then the cavalrymen gathered around to prevent accidents.

Shilos, the head of the Fourth Army, who had received the news, also came from the south. When he saw Daphes, he immediately strangled the horse and marched: "Master Commander, the Fourth Army captured Knapetia and was ordered to rush to !"

"It's hard!" Daveus solemnly replied, and Hilos was not the ordinary mercenary when he first met Persia. The long time of military integration and government affairs made him more dignified, but less. Humble, he is already a qualified commander of the Dionysian Army.

"Sir, I'm late. The defense of Knapetiya City is very tenacious. Not only has it dragged our Fourth Legion for a long time, but it also made us pay more than 700 brothers' lives!" Hilos looked slightly sad, he The gentleness in the bones has not changed much.

"The reason why the Fourth Legion captured Knapetiya so late, my strategic plan is the main reason, not to blame you. The sacrifices of the soldiers are worth it, because you really attacked one from the front. With a well-defended city, this would be Dionysia’s most valuable asset in the military!” Daveus inspired him to say: “Moreover, the Fourth Army came at the right time!”

After he finished, he pointed forward with great enthusiasm: "Go, take me to see the warriors of the Fourth Army!"

Daphes and Hilos took the lead in galloping forward, followed by two hundred guards wearing red cloaks (including one hundred fighters in Bisinia).

Rodome grabbed the reins in one hand and raised the glorious flag that Martius gave him in one hand. He followed Davesma and ran past the marching column of the Fourth Army.

Seeing the soldiers of the 4th Legion of Dionysia in front stopped, they stopped talking and stared at their supreme commander.Daveus looked solemn at the moment, raised his right arm above his head, straightened forward, and paid tribute.

Suddenly, the soldiers shouted with thunderous cheers: "Dionia wins!!!"

"Daveus Wansheng!!!"

...

At the same time, Rodom's blood and envy made him envious, and he deeply felt that it was too boring to spend the obscure life in the mountains in the past!The man should ride the battlefield like a commander!

"Listen, that was the recruits of the Fourth Army. They heard that they were coming from Trina. It seems that they had captured Knapetia. No wonder they were so spirited. If we were defeated Bruti’s main force, how could they break the city so easily! These little guys are still far away! These days, they have to let them know that we are the most powerful in the Dionysian Army or the First Army!...... "The soldiers of the First Legion glanced at the cheers of the Fourth Legion in a veteran manner.

On the head of the city, the Bruty warriors looked at this scene outside the city with fright: the "long dragon" from the northeast and the "long dragon" from the southwest converged, and shouted cheers, The momentum is so magnificent!

Pi Anlun looked calm, and yesterday he received the news of "Knappetia fell", and also specially blocked it. I didn't expect that the Dionysians actually made such a thing outside the city. Look at the soldiers. His face, he knew how hard it was to hit them.

At this time, Tagli's voice came from behind: "The strength of the Dionysians is so strong, our number is too small! The city of Cosenza is too big, it is impossible to achieve a comprehensive defense, it is better Good surrender!"

When Petaru heard it, he immediately looked so blue, he wished he could beat the old guy badly, but he still held back.Yesterday, under the mediation of the high priest Firotaro, Pianlun, he and Tagli reached a settlement with them: The Bruti Tribe Alliance returned the original tribal people of Tagli and their tribal leaders, and they could no longer be deprived And interfered with their rights, and they eventually agreed to fight Dionysians in Cosenza with Pianren.

There is only one issue still arguing, Tagli they demanded: abolish the Presbyterian Church, and delegate the power to deal with the affairs of the Alliance to the Federation of Tribal Leaders.

For Pi Anlun, agreeing to their request means that the highly concentrated Bruti Tribal Union he has been pursuing will become a loose tribal union, which he cannot tolerate, so He postponed this important issue on the grounds that "Bergam was absent and Sedorum was missing." This caused dissatisfaction with other tribal leaders. Now the two sides are disagreeable.

Faced with the defeat of the Dionysian army, it is such a situation in Cosenza, how to resist the enemy's attack?Pi Anlun was also worried.

Fortunately, instead of ordering a siege, Davers began to build a camp. With the absolute advantage of 30,000 troops, he directly ordered the construction to be started one mile away from the city to prepare for the siege of Cosenza.

The captives were escorted to dig trenches, the 1st, 2nd, 4th Legion, Legion Reserve, Confederate Army... Daveus had enough labor to build a huge barracks, and enough manpower to stay alert.

Just as Dave Szerma was preparing for a detailed investigation around Cosenza, Capps came to report: Sedorum asked to meet him.

…………………………………

"Have you decided? Let Vig join Dionysia?" Daveus suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at Cedolum calmly.

"Yes, Dionysia's governor." After seeing the arrival of the Fourth Army of Dionysia, Sedorum immediately realized that what Davis had told him before was true, Dionys Ya does have a strong siege ability.So he finally stopped entangled and made up his mind decisively to relieve the trouble for many days. At this time, he felt much more relaxed.

Daveus looked at the older Brute chief who had disappeared for a few days and asked slowly: "So what are you going to do?"
