Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

415 The first big victory

"The Dionysians are coming! The Dionysian reinforcements are coming!!..." The same as the wounded soldiers of Samone also shouted that there were archers on the outpost in the camp, but they sent out It was a rejoicing voice: "Our reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are here!!!"

finally come!Alexis breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.

The soldiers heard the shout, the morale was shocked, the tired body seemed to be refilled with strength, and they roared in unison, trying to drive out the enemies who had burst into the camp...

And Torek, who heard the shout, did not want to believe that when he turned to see the rushing Dionysian army, any scattered soldiers were swallowed up by him, and the strength of his body seemed to be evacuated. Stumbled to the ground, there was only one thought in my heart: "It's over! The Dionysian conspiracy!"

The equally exhausted Samonei soldiers who had been in a long struggle for a long time saw the menacing Dionysian soldiers who came from behind. Although they were panicked, most of the soldiers did not turn around and fled, but picked up the long Spear, turned to resist the enemy's raid, they only have one idea in their hearts to kill the red eye: fight!

However, the constant arrival of fresh troops, and the front and rear attacks made the resistance of the Samoin soldiers only in vain, but affected their timely escape from the siege.

As the Samonians continued to fall, the remaining soldiers finally subsided and began to flee... Some soldiers were exhausted and simply abandoned their weapons... Therefore, after the battle continued for a period of time, it was basically over, and the rest What is chasing the defeated soldiers.

……………………………

The soldiers of the Third Army in the Dionysian camp were either collecting the remains of their comrades, receiving treatment from the medical camp, or lying on the ground resting on the earth wall and resting...

The head of the army, Alexis, listened solemnly to the adjutant's report on the casualties of the legion: "According to the preliminary statistics of the medical battalion, our legion was killed 412 people, seriously injured 251 people, slightly injured 537 people, a total of 1,200 casualties..."

1200 people!Alexis clenched his fists with some emotion: accounted for 15% of the main force of the legion, this casualty is a bit big!

Seeing the painful expression of the regiment commander, the adjutant comforted him and said, "This is also impossible. We are confronted with about three times the number of fierce Samonais..."

Alexis sighed and said nothing.

At this moment, the originally quiet camp suddenly boiled.

Alexis saw Daveus enter the camp with the escort, and walked towards the center while chatting and condolences with the soldiers he met.

Alexis greeted him busy.

Before approaching, Daveus caught up and gave him a very strong hug: "Good job, Captain Alexis!"

This sentence suddenly dissipated most of Alexis's sigh, grievances and dissatisfaction.He stood up and saluted, and responded forcefully: "Report to the Supreme Commander, Master, that the Third Army has completed its combat missions and is on rest."

"It's not just the completion of the combat mission!" Daveus looked around the soldiers who were quickly surrounded by dust, and the faces covered with dust and blood were written with exhaustion, and he used his clenched right fist to the left chest heavily. A hammer: "Brothers of the Third Legion! You stand alone and fight three times as hard as your enemies. You have sacrificed and made a tremendous contribution to the entire Samonet who finally wiped out the entire battle! You saved Potentia! The danger of the invasion of our Lucania territory has been lifted! The war situation in the entire north of Dionyssia has been changed! Not only I want to thank you, but the entire Dionysian people must thank you! You are The hero of Dionysia will surely be remembered in the Temple of Hades in Turui! Wan Sheng, the Third Army!"

Davos' passionate words reached every soldier's ears, whether they were Lucanians or Greeks, they shed tears with excitement.

"Wan Sheng, the Third Army!!!"

"Wan Sheng, Davers!!!"

"Wansheng, Dionia!!!"

...

Continuous cheers rang through the camp, and the soldiers of the Captain Samone heard the voice, the pain and sorrow that could not be expressed on all faces...

In this battle, Davers surrounded the area and used the Third Army as a bait, attracting 26,000 or 7000 Samoin soldiers to come to siege.Taking advantage of the fatigue of its veterans, it secretly mobilized two multiple regiments to encircle and annihilate them... There were tens of thousands of soldiers of the Samonei who were captives alone, causing more than 7,000 casualties, and only nearly 3,000 people fled into the mountains.At the same time, the city of Poseidonia was easily recaptured, and a large amount of supplies and supplies piled in the city and not yet transferred to the Camp of Potentia Samone were obtained, which can be said to be a complete victory.

……………………………

On this day, the army of Syracuse, which had broken through the north bank of the Ramato River, remained unmoved.They built a humble camp at the confluence of the Ramato and Corta Rivers, and built a pontoon with dozens of clippers on the Corta River, so that the weight and supplies transported from Heberian could be smooth Shunli successfully sent to the Siracusa camp, the soldiers were finally able to have a meal.

The people of Trina, who are on the west side of the Siracusa camp and are facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, are always in panic.On the one hand, they sent a large number of reconnaissance horses, watching the Siracusa camp closely; on the other hand, they sent ambassadors to Siriting, while maintaining contact with Knapetiya.

In Siriting, even if the number of troops arriving in Crotone increased to 17,000, the coalition force in Siriting increased sharply to 30,000, and the people were still uneasy.The large camp in Syracuse is less than 30 miles from the Siliting City. A few hours of marching can drive down the city. Now all the Siliting people have abandoned their homes outside the city and brought their families to take their mouths and fled into the Siliting City. .

For the assistance of Crotone, the high-ranking Siritan headed by Pretinis is not good to blame, but for the pressure of the Siracusa army, Crotone, the disadvantaged-Siritine coalition has not No matter what, the only thing they can do is to send a scout ride to the south to understand the journey of the Dionysian Army.

………………………………

The 4th and 5th Legion of Dionynia began to pull out the camp in the early morning of this day. In order to avoid the use of this abandoned camp by the Syracuses, they not only evacuated the tent, pulled out the wooden fence, but also pushed down the earth barrier and filled Pinghao, the reason for the extra effort, is to repay the kindness of the people of Kaurenia and make up for the guilt in their hearts.

Last night, when Felixius informed the Cologneans that the "Dionysian army had to prepare to withdraw", although they knew that the matter was irreversible, Pretinis had made their best efforts. Keep this reinforcement that can protect the security of Kaurnia.

Philius can only bear the refusal to refuse their request.

But just as they left today, almost all the citizens of Cologne came out to see off the Dionysian army. They not only helped the soldiers to pull out the camp, but also brought freshly baked bread, porridge and slurry, hoping that the soldiers We can have a full meal before marching.

Cologne’s affectionate friendship and heart-wrenching words moved many Dionysian soldiers, and the army forced them to go north, but the words of comforting the people of Cologne were generally similar: "You can rest assured !As long as you hold on to the city of Kaurenia, we will join the coalition forces of other allies and will soon defeat the Syracuse army, and then come to rescue you!"

Philius also said the same thing to Friniris, but more euphemistically.

Friniris did not seem to hear the uncertainty in Felixius's words, and he said firmly: "We have been under siege by Lockley too many times in Cologne, and we are no better than us in Great Greece. Shoucheng is won, we will stick to your return, I know that the Dionysians keep their promises!"

Pretinis' words made Felicius feel a little bit more stressed.

Near dusk, the Fourth and Fifth Legions finally arrived at the Silitian, and at this time, the Siracusa-Lokri coalition led by Fassipesas surrounded the city of Kaurenia.

………………………………

In the evening, at the headquarters of the South Italian Alliance in Siriting, the commander of the southern line of Dionysia, Felixius, the special envoy of the Senate, Ansitas, the general of the United Army of Crotone, Askamas, and the chief general of Siriting Letinius, General Siriusi's general Azerias, and Trinite messenger Asopias sat around a large wooden table with a map of the plains of Osemia.

Azerias stood up and took a wooden stick to explain the current situation for everyone present here: "Masters, according to what we have detected, the army of Syracuse is in the Ramato River and Cole Camping at the confluence of the Ta River."

Azerias clicked the marker on the map with a wooden stick: "This is the edge of the Ophelia Plain, going west, only 15 miles from Trina--"

"Accurately it should be only 13.9 miles!" Asopias emphasized loudly.

"Cough... the situation on the west side, Lord Asopias is naturally much clearer than us." Azerias corrected slightly embarrassedly: "The Siracusa camp is 13.9 miles from Trina. And the terrain is flat, but you need to cross the Ramato River, which cannot be walked, which is a big trouble for the Syracuses—"

"The Navy of Syracuse has occupied the Ramato River, and it is easy to send the army across the Ramato River!" Asopias emphasized again.

Azerias was a little angry: "Master Asopias, if you like to interrupt others so much, you might as well explain it to everyone!"

Asopias shook his head and said, "I just added to what you introduced. Didn't you just say,'The west side, we Trina know more than you,' let everyone here A comprehensive and meticulous understanding of the situation on the whole battlefield will help us to formulate a more reasonable response plan. This war is no longer a matter of Siriting or Trina, but the entire Confederation of Southern Italians needs to face together. Crisis!"

"Master Asopias is right! Acehias, don't worry, speak slowly and in more detail." Pletini came out and played round for the two.

"Yeah, the flames of war have reached our territory, everyone is a little anxious, but the more we are, the more we should be calm in order to be able to defeat the strong enemy." Ansitanos also said comfortingly.
