Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

There are warships in the bay making a landing posture, and there are warships in the river going upstream...Cyprus is in a dilemma. He only hates that Siriting is a small town, and there are too few civilian soldiers.But he finally made a decision: to send 2,000 people to quickly track the enemy ship on the North Shore and prevent it from landing on the North Shore.

But when the troops sent to the confluence of the two rivers, they had to bypass, because here the direction of the Ramato River is from north to south, just in front of them, and they can’t walk across the river, they can only Go north.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Siracusa’s warship leaned on the east bank of the Corta River that flowed from the south into the Ramato River. In fact, the sailors were exhausted because they had been rowing hard, and the soldiers on the ship Hurry up ashore.

At this time, Dionysius was dissatisfied with the fact that the military queue had not been completed for nearly an hour. The main reason was that there were continuous follow-up troops. He immediately ordered: no need to wait, the whole army attacked!

The tired Syracuse soldiers stepped into the cold Corta River and killed the defense line laid out by the Silitians on the opposite side.

Although the Silitians were small in number and had a weak defense line, they cultivated their spirits and possessed an absolute advantage in physical strength. For a time, Siracusa’s army was unable to penetrate the river.

In the four-mile long winding section, the Silitians fought desperately to defend their homes, fighting with the Siracusa army, which was nearly four times the number of them, for more than half an hour, and the entire river was stained. Red blood...

Until the landing Syracuse soldiers came from the west and attacked the flanks of the Xiliting array, the Xiliting talents began to shake their hearts and finally defeated...

Dionysius breathed a sigh of relief: he finally led the army to break through the defense line of the Southern Italian Alliance and entered the edge of the flat and wide plain of Ephesia...

But at this time, the soldiers of Syracuse were so poor that they could no longer pursue the defeated soldiers.

After occupying the temporary camp abandoned by the Cyrillic, Dionysius ordered the army to rest on the spot.

…………………………

After receiving news that the Siracusa army had crossed the Korta River, the Knapetia army, who had been rushing to Trina, was shocked and Yasisters immediately returned to the team and dispatched people. Explain the reason to Trina.

In the afternoon, Crotone's reinforcements hurried to Siri Court.

Instead of welcoming the arrival of the former home country and the former allied army, the chief general of Siriting, Pretinis, and the senior members of the parliament, accused them of being late, causing the Syracuse to occupy the Corta River On the north bank, the Siliting City is in danger.

Askamas and other Crotone generals faced the accusation and did not justify it, because the situation did reach a dangerous situation.

…………………………

In the evening.The flying horse from the north broke through the silence of the Dionysian barracks, and Epitanes and Dracos received an urgent message from the heralds and hurried to the big account.

"The two commanders of the army, I just received an urgent report from Siliting. The Syracuse broke through the Corta River defense line and entered the territory of Siliting." Felix said seriously.

"I have said long ago that the city-state troops of the Confederation of Southern Italy are not reliable!" Epitanius spit on the ground angrily: "It has made us win the battle here in vain!"

"How many are there in the Syracuse?" Draco asked urgently.

"According to the letter from Silitine, there are more than 50,000 people." Felix picked up the letter on the table, and Draco snatched it and opened it.To know that he was an illiterate when he was a mercenary leader. In recent years, in order to be able to lead the legion and understand the "Military Law" and the military order, he specially participated in the adult class at Turui School. Understanding letters is no longer a problem.

"More than 50,000 people?!" Epitanius exclaimed, and immediately thought: "This shows that the focus of the Syracuse attack is on the west coast, and the army here is only holding us in."

"It seems that this is the case..." Felixius nodded calmly, feeling slightly frustrated because he failed to judge Dionysius's intention in time.

"In the letter, the Silitians demanded that we immediately withdraw to Silitin and join them with the soldiers to fight against the Siracusa army." Dracos looked at the two.

"Actually, Master Ansitanos also wrote a letter to advise us to retreat back to Siliting." Felixius took out another letter.

"Apart from retreating to Silitinium, do we have any alternatives?" Epitanius shrugged: "If you continue to stay here, let the Syracuses defeat the other Confederate city-states on the plains of Overmia If you let them seize the Siliting City, our 20,000 people will become fish in the net."

Felix sighed: "Just doing this, I'm afraid Coronia will be in trouble..."

You should know that in order to give the Dionysians a safe defense, the Cologneians provide them with rich food every day. After repelling the enemy’s attack during the day, Cologne went up to the parliament and down to the civilians. Out of the city, thank them, and also hold a banquet for the commander and commander of the Dionysian Army, send wine to the soldiers, etc., etc., based on the provisions of the Dionysian Military Law , Declined the goodwill of the Cologneans, but every Dionysian soldier felt the gratitude and kindness of Cologne to them.

The three were silent for a while, and Dracos said helplessly: "This is the case, we have no choice but to hope that Hades will bless and let Corunia keep his homeland, and wait for us to concentrate our forces to repel Syracuse. People, the siege of Kaurenia will naturally be solved."

"Repel?" Epitanis grabbed Draco's words keenly and asked, "Do you think we can repel Dionysius' army in the Plain of Overmia?"

"Why not!" Dracos pointed to the letter and asked, "The letter reads that the Syracuse is only over 50,000 people there, and our two legions plus Crotone, Silitine, There are probably more than 50,000 troops in Trina’s army. Don’t you have confidence in our army?! You know, the soldiers of Dionysia’s army are the best soldiers in the Mediterranean!” Drax stared angrily at Egypt. Pitenis.

"Who said I have no confidence in our legion! You don't want to slander people here!" Epitanius heard this and was angry: if this word came out, how would he lead the legion!

"Okay, don't both of you!" Felix yelled loudly: "What time is it now, and you are still in a quarrel! If Master Davis knows your current performance, he will regret to let you Two of them serve as the regiment leader!"

At the mention of Daphes, Epitanes and Dracos calmed down.

"I just didn't hear what you said just now, and you forget it too! I don't want to hear any more rumors about these words in the soldiers, you know!" Felix looked directly at them.

Epidnis pouted at Draco, and Draco nodded reluctantly.

Felix sighed in relief: "Okay, now let's discuss how to retreat tomorrow morning..."

……………………………

On the morning of the day, worry that Pisini, the leader of Samone who was stationed in Poseidonia for one night, did not expect a miracle.

Dionysia’s army still appeared outside the city. They were divided into two parts: one was building a camp, and the other was forming an array outside the city.

"Only more than 4,000 people want to seize my Poseidonia!" Pisini felt humiliated.

At this moment, he saw what was pushed by the soldiers in front of the enemy line, his eyes widened in amazement, he couldn't help but hold the battlement with both hands, leaning forward, wanting to see more clearly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw seven or eight small black spots flying from the enemy's front, hitting the city wall straight, "Boom! Boom! Boom!......" The loud noise of Pisini dispelled the fluke in Pisini's heart: Daioni Asians also have ballistas!

In the following time, the Samonei stared at the stone bomb flying in the air with fear, lest it hit him, and the already broken, only briefly repaired wall was continuously attacked by the cannon, and became More broken...

Pisini only hopes that reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible.

This day was spent in the busyness of the Dionysian soldiers and the restlessness of the defenders of Samone.

In the early morning of the next day, the trumpet sound of Camp Dionia was sounded, and the soldiers awakened in the tent ignored the slack sleep, rolled over and sat up, urging each other to start wearing armor quickly.

"Report the commander of the army, a large number of enemies have appeared in the north of the camp, with an estimated number of more than 20,000. They are marching towards the camp!" Scout leader Kriglu reported to Alexis.

"More than 20,000 people!" Not only was Alexis not surprised, but he was somewhat happy.With the help of the guards, he dressed neatly and took two steps in spirit, exclaiming: "It seems that the Samonais have great ambitions and want to eat us all at once! Ha ha, but I don't know who it will be. Who to eat!"

He was about to leave the account, the tabernacle was opened, and the first captain, Lizzaru, shouted excitedly: "Legion, the enemy is hooked, and more than 20,000 people have come!"

"This is enough for you to eat!" Alexis said jokingly.

Lizaru chuckled.Some time ago, Alexis was not very satisfied with this, and after he took the initiative to retreat the attacking army of Samone in Potentia, he was sulking.Now the gas is gone, and some are just a strong desire to fight.

"Don’t worry, let the brothers be full. Today’s battle may last longer! Because Lord Davers gave us the command of the Third Army to try to stick the enemy and the tired enemy as much as possible. All troops are invested in our camps!" Alexis reminded again.

"I understand." Lizaru replied, turning around and going out, and suddenly stopped, facing Alexis, solemnly paid a military salute, which included his apology.
