Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Azerias coughed a few times, and continued: "...The Syracuse Camp is about 24 miles east to the Siliting City. There are many hills in this direction, but in general the terrain is fairly flat. Therefore, although the Siracusa people stayed in the camp today, their mercenary cavalry was in the Siritan territory, destroying farmland and orchards, burning villages and houses, and killing dozens of our scouts..."

"How many soldiers are there in the Siracusa camp?" Askamas asked.

"According to these two days of observation, I am afraid there are more than 50,000 people!" Azerias answered.

50,000 people!After thinking about it, Askamas turned his head and asked, "Master Felix, how many enemies did you encounter in Kaurenia?"

"Not less than 40,000." Felix replied truthfully.

"If you count the forces of Medema and Hibernian again, this time the Syracuse attacked our Southern Italian Alliance's forces should exceed --" Askamas solemnly spit out a number: " 100,000 people!"

Everyone in the room heard this number and looked dignified: this is the largest army that has appeared in the history of the whole Greek world, not only in Great Greece, but also in the Western Mediterranean!"

"And the number of coalition forces here, with the addition of Trina's civic soldiers, there are only nearly 60,000 people." Pretinis sighed: "Unfortunately, Li Jim was separated on the south and could not meet us, Cullen Niah is under siege now, the most important thing is--"

Pretinis looked at Felixius and Ansitanos, and said with regret: "The main force of Lord Dionysia led by Lord Davos is in the Lucania region. If they all congregate in the Silitian, we simply There is no need to fear the Syracuse people, even if they have 100,000 people!"

"We thought about things simple before. When planning, we always think too much about good things. Once implemented, we found that there are so many problems." Ansitanos is working for Dionysia. Responsibility is also to relieve the high-ranking Allied leaders who participated in the discussion at that time: "Something happened suddenly, which caught people off guard! For example, the invasion of the Samonais made people never think of it! It can only be said that Dionysius was for this time I'm afraid the invasion is already being prepared."

Ansitanos's words obviously had a taste of others' prestige and extinguishment of his own ambition. Askamas snorted softly and just wanted to speak.

Asopias first asked: "When will Lord Davis probably lead his army back?"

"I haven't received any news at present. But Master Davers has never failed much in military affairs. I believe he will soon be able to repel the brutal and backward Samonais and quickly come to meet us." Ansitano Si comforted.

Felix took the opportunity to take his word and continued: "So we should now strengthen our camp outside the city of Sirith, and form a horn with the city, based on defense, dragging the army of Syracuse, waiting for Dai Lord Firth led the army back, and then fought against the Syracuse!"

Askamas sneered twice: "You hear,'Master Daveus, Master Daveus,' Without Daveus, wouldn't all our officers of the Southern Italian Alliance command the war?! "

Felixius' face changed slightly when he heard it.Ansitanos frowned.Azerias looked a little bit worried.

Askamas looked at Felixius contemptuously: "I ask you, how many days are there from Turri to Potentia?"

"The most convenient way is about five or six days." Felix replied truthfully despite his anger at what he had just said.

"That is to say, in terms of days, maybe Davis has just led his army to Potentia. So how many days will it take to get here from Potentia?"

"About nine or ten days."

"Well, ten days, this has not counted the days required to defeat the Samonei. We Crotonians have not dealt with the Samonei, but since they are indigenous in the mountains, they fight It may be similar to the Bruti people. In the mountains, they rarely fight head-on, but like wolves, they like to hide and sneak attack. This means that it is difficult to defeat them through a decisive battle. War is simply impossible! General Felix, I know you have a lot of Brutus in your team, and you should know better than me in this respect!" The sarcasm in Askamas's tone is stronger: "Even if Daveus has a strong commanding ability and can return to Siliting in 20 days... this is the shortest time I can give! But in these 20 days, you think that the more than 40,000 enemies who fought with you before Is it possible to capture Kaurnia?! I heard that the Siracusa people have a siege equipment called a ballista, which has used it to capture several Carthages in the previous war with Carthage. city……"

Felix's face changed again.After defeating the battalion troops in Syracuse before, they had seized the ballista of Syracuse. According to the captain of the ballista, it was very similar to the ballista of Dionia, although the angle of sight and The accuracy is not as good as Dionia, but it is more than a lot of power. After all, its size is larger than Dionysia's siege ballistic artillery, and the stone bombs used are naturally larger.Thinking of Friniris, who was full of confidence in the city before leaving, Phillips was in a state of silence.

Askarmas looked at him and continued, "If a mixed army of Syracuse and Locri seized Kaurnia with ballistas, and then came to the meeting of Siliting, they just had to separate A small half of the troops are going to besiege Trina, we have no way to stop it, so how long can Trina resist?"

Asopi Aston looked pale.

"When Lord Davis really leads the army here, I am afraid that even the outside of the Silitinium will become a ruin." Askamas's next sentence made Pretinis and Asei Sias couldn't sit still.

After Pretinis and Azerias stared at each other and reached an agreement, Azerias slammed the wooden table, stood up, and said aloud, "Masters, we can't wait any longer!We should take advantage of the fact that the two troops of Syracuse have not converged, and we should first attack the Syracuse army here!"

Felixius frowned and asked: "Offense? How to attack?! Do you want to attack the big camp of Syracuse?!"

"The next battle! According to the soldiers who retreated from the Korta River,'When they saw the Syracuses crossing the river, a large Siracusa flag was erected in the back.' The tyrant of Syracuse The Dionysius should be in this army. We gave him a book of warfare according to ancient traditions and invited him to fight the two armies. This tyrannical dictator claimed to be'the master of Sicily'... He shouldn’t...should not allow himself to show fear in front of his men and not dare to fight. Then, the Greek people under his tyrannical rule will see through his timidity and weakness!" Sesias said not very surely.

"This is a good way! We Trina will also do our best to send more soldiers to meet you. In this way, our coalition soldiers will greatly exceed the number of Syracuse soldiers here!" At this moment Asopias also took the initiative to make a commitment.

"But Dionysius is likely to refuse to fight when there is a gap in his strength," Felius reminded cautiously.

"The Syracuses dare not come out to fight, then we will attack their camps!" Askamas took the lead, adding: "I have observed the camps of the Syracuses. The camps they built are far from The strength of your Dionysians, isn’t your team also equipped with ballistas! Then, throw stone bombs at the Syracuse camp until they force these timid Syracuses out to fight "As a Dionysian neighbor, Crotone still pays more attention to the Dionysian army.

"That's right, Master Askarmas, let's do this!" Azerias responded excitedly.

"Master Phillips, what do you think?" Pretinis's question focused everyone's attention on Phyllis.

Facing the eyes that everyone expected, Felix was like a needle felt, but he could not reply.

Seeing the expressions of the people gradually getting impatient, Ansitanos stood up and said, "Masters, please let me speak a few words with Master Felix."

The two walked out of the venue.

Ansitanos brushed away the dust on the steps, and after sitting down, he asked Felius to also sit down.

Philius was flattered.He has been in a high position in the Dionysian Union for a few years, but he can't help but face up to the university of Anistanos alone, the inferiority of Philip Hughes, who was once a mercenary.

"Sir Phillips." Ansitanos didn't notice his expression and looked at the square in front of him. He asked in a calm tone: "Are you going to stick to the defensive tactics set by Lord Davis?"

Felix hesitated and replied: "Yes. Askamas and Azerias' war plans are too risky. Once they fail, the consequences are not imaginable! And as long as we stick to the camp and wait for Dai Lord Firth led his army back to Greater Greece, and then fought against the Syracuse. No matter the number and ability of the soldiers, or the commanding ability of the general, the Syracuse was firmly defeated. This is the most stable tactic!"

"The safest tactic? I'm afraid no one in the house thinks that way." Ansitanos sighed: "Human, when the danger comes, we always want to eliminate the danger as soon as possible, without calming down. Thinking about longer-term plans...Now the war has burned into the land of the Allies, and their homes are in great danger. Our procrastination tactics will only make them feel suspicious and angry. They will think that we Dionysians are selfish and indulgent. Their homeland is occupied, the people are killed and no action is taken!... If this delays further, Dionysia’s image in the South Italian League, which has been working hard in recent years, will be destroyed, and we will lose these city-state people. Trust, which is detrimental to the future development of Dionia!"

"Did we put our soldiers in danger in order to win their trust?!" Felix asked back.

"Are there any chances of victory according to their plan?" Ansitanos looked at him.
