Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 411 Crisis: The Ramato River Line of Defense

"Second brother is back?!" Puamot missed the helmet and landed on the ground. He didn't care and asked excitedly: "Where is he?!"

"Brother, I'm back!" With a powerful cry, Bollet's stout figure appeared in the hall.

Puamott hurried forward, grasping him tightly with both hands: "Second brother, you can come back! Great, you are coming back!" Puamott's excited voice was a little sobbing, he had never been like today , I strongly missed my belligerent brother: Yeah, balancing the interests of various tribes and governing towns is what Puamott is good at, but when it comes to marching wars and inspiring morale, it’s not my own child It’s the brother who loves to make trouble.And more importantly...

"Is Turiri sending reinforcements here?" he asked urgently.

"Come! Lord Lord Davis personally led the two strongest legions of Dionysia, with a total of 20,000 people!" Pollet said equally excitedly.

"Very good! Finally here! Asinu God bless!" Puamott relievedly covered his chest with his hands, and his pale face also had a look: "Where are they?"

"They didn't come directly to Potentia, but went to Picos to prepare for the attack on Poseidonia..." Pollet saw his brother so happy that he lowered his voice unconsciously.

"Attack in Poseidonia?" The smile on Puamot's face froze, followed by anger: "We are all about to be defeated by the Samonais in Potentia. Firth took the reinforcements and ran to a small seaside town a hundred miles away from here. We didn't even care about it! What sinister intentions did he hold?! He wanted to see that after we were wiped out, he came to pick up the bargain ?!......"

It is rare for Pollet to see such a big fire in his calm, always gentle gentleman, but at the moment he has no intention to read the joke: "Brother, listen to me! Listen to me! Daphes The adults attacked Poseidonia to end the siege of the Samone against Potentia and even defeat them!"

Puamott, who was about to drop a wooden chair in the hall, listened to his brother's shouting, "bang" and dropped the chair, still asking suspiciously: "Is it?"

"Yes." Pollott didn't shy away from his gaze, and solemnly said: "I received your urgent letter, and I wanted to return to Potentia immediately from Turri, but Master Davis sent him. Stop, because he is going to lead the soldiers to rescue himself, and needs a guide who understands Potentia and Samonai to provide him with useful suggestions, so I set off with the Dionysian reinforcements...Daveus After Pecosis finalized the action plan of the Dionysian army to repulse the Samonei, he asked me to rush back to Potentia as soon as possible to cooperate with him in future military operations. He originally wanted to send The team escorted me back and was rejected by me.

This is where I played since I was a child. Every hillside, every trail, every cave, every big rock is very familiar. The Samoines are tightly sealed and I can slip in.If you bring them, it will be dangerous..."

After hearing Pollet’s remarks, especially after learning about Davers’ plan, Puamot gradually calmed down: “So the Dionysians have now begun to march into Poseidonia, and What we have to do now is to pay close attention to the movement of the Samoan under the mountain..."

"Yes." Pollet nodded again.

Puamot let out a sigh of relief and relaxed his entire body: "Second brother, since you have returned, then I will give you the important task of leading the Potentia warriors to fight against the Samonais!"

Pollet shook his head: "Not yet, brother."

"Why?" Puamot was puzzled.

"Because that movement is too great, in case the Samonians know that I should have been in Turriy, they might have guessed that the reinforcements of Dionysian may have arrived, then Master Davers’ plan It may fail! I even suggest that you temporarily hide the news of my return!"

Puamott thought for a while and couldn't help saying: "Second brother, you're right! I didn't expect to go to Turriy, now you're thinking carefully and become more careful!"

Paulette was a little embarrassed: "This is a reminder of Lord Davis."

"Sir Dapheus?" Puamott felt the difference between Pollet's words: "I remember you didn't call him that before." Puamott said slowly.

Pollett recalled the scene of acting with the Dionysian Army and contacting and talking with Daphes many times these days, and answered seriously: "He is indeed an amazing person!"

…………………………

Cipros also hoped that the Syracuses would go through a one-day march and take a rest the next day, so as to give Trina, Crotone, and Siriting some buffer time so that they can do a good job in Ramato. The defense of the Hebei shore.

But the big Greeks underestimated Dionysius' determination. When he went all out, his mobility and wisdom were terrible.At the beginning, Carthage commander Shimirko led the army to defeat the Syracuse army and went straight to the city. If it was not for the support of the Spartans, Dionysius had already been cast out of the throne by the angry people. , And at this critical time, Dionysius developed his strategy to the extreme: he used the Carthaginians to be plagued by the plague, and led the army out of the city in the night, moving forward by land and sea, striking east and west, hiding the main force, The experienced Mimirko made a misjudgment and eventually suffered a fiasco.

This time, in order to conquer Great Greece, Dionysius prepared an extremely large army and a huge amount of supplies. In order to attract some forces to cause problems for Dionia, Syracuse paid a great price.Therefore, if this expedition fails, Dionysius's rule in Syracuse will surely be shaken.So he started from Sicily to the present day, the spirit has been tense these days, don't look at his apparent disdain for Dionia, it is to give the soldiers confidence, but he has always been deeply worried.

To this end, he certainly understands the importance of time to the Siracusa army.Before marching yesterday, he asked Lockley to urgently notify the Hebrews of the rough construction of the camp in advance. After the army arrived, although it was also very confusing, the order was much better than when it landed in Lockley, at least for the most part. The soldier's sleep is basically guaranteed.Thus, early in the morning of the next day, Dionysius began to gather troops. Although the soldiers complained repeatedly, under his authority, they had to obediently go north.

At the same time, he ordered Syracuse's fleet to also sail north from the port of Hebernian into the Ramato River.

At noon, this large, irregularly formed army reached the confluence of the middle of the Ramato River and its tributary, the Corta River.

Trina has spies to monitor Hibernian day and night, and Hibernian also has spies to observe the north bank of the Ramato River, so Dionysius knows that there is a large section of the Corta River that can be walked, and the river The defensive force on the opposite bank was not much, so the army turned around and headed south to the middle reaches of the Korta River.

The scout riding on the other side of the river quickly returned, and Trina Chief General Ciplos secretly complained after learning of the Syracuse action.He was in a hurry to control the nearly 7,000 Trina soldiers who had poured the whole city, but he did not dare to act rashly, because the port lighthouse sentry also sent an urgent report: Countless Siracusa appeared in the bay where Trina was located Warships, many soldiers can be seen on the ship.

Cipros feared that they would land on the northern coast of Trina, so he must be vigilant at all times and dared not to rush to divide troops to assist Xiri Ting.

However, after receiving an emergency briefing from the Trina and the shore defenders last night, Siliting hurriedly increased the strength of the northern bank of the Corta River to 12,000 troops this morning.But he didn't expect that when he was stationed, the army of Syracuse arrived.

The commander of Silitine, Azerias, saw Syracuse soldiers appearing on the opposite side, and the number was increasing. The number of soldiers was vast and mighty. The hearts of them were trembling with fear. They were cursing: Crotone Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?!!The force in his hand was scattered on this long stretch of river bank, it was too thin!!

Crotone, who he cursed, received a request for help from the Trina messenger Starry Night last night. He also realized the seriousness of the situation and sent soldiers out of the city to inform all citizens of the right age.

Early this morning, citizens in the square came to report one after another.

In the morning, 14,000 people had gathered on the square, and citizens arrived one after another...

But Lucias and the generals couldn't wait any longer, so let Astamas lead this army first, and then the rest of the civic soldiers and the armies arrived later.

Just as Azerias cursed the Crotone, Crotone's troops were anxiously rushing to Silitin's road.

But Dionysius was obviously not prepared to give the South Italian coalition any breathing opportunities. Under his urging, the Siracusa army quickly rushed to the south bank of the Corta River and began to form an array.

During this period of time in the army array, some Siracusa warships sailed into the Ramato River.

The city of Trina is not like Turri, which spans the two banks of the river. The city of Trina is located on the north bank of the river. The land on the south bank belongs to Heberian, so the Ramato River is the boundary river between the two city-states. They belong to different alliances. The Crotone Alliance and the Lockley Alliance are dead enemies, so there is little communication between the two cities, and it is impossible to build a pontoon on the river.Most of Trina’s original warships were handed over to Dionia. Of course, even if all of them existed, they could not be the opponents of the powerful Syracuse Navy, so the Trina were watching the enemy The warships drove one by one towards the upper reaches of the Ramato River, but the gods were also helping the Syracuses. At the moment, the southwest wind was blowing, paddling the Syracuse sailors countercurrent, saving a lot force.
