Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"They all recognize the strength of the Dionysian Legion, but because of our strength, they all hope that we can sit in the middle of the road and connect the two wings, so that they can confidently attack." Felixius looked at the two and frankly. Said: "Although I had the same idea as you before, but...I am also worried about whether the middle road and the other wing of the three separate city-state troops of Trina, Silitine and Crotone can be defeated by us The enemies in front of you will not be defeated by the enemies... if they are defeated, the whole situation may form a melee, and the cavalry of Syracuse may have the opportunity to exert its power... On the contrary, if we guard the middle road, we can control our side The rhythm of offense and defense, find loopholes on both wings at any time, and timely reinforcement..."

"In this way, it becomes our competition with the Syracuse people for defense and consumption. I am afraid that the duration of the battle will be very long!" Epidenis, who came from the light shield soldier, did not like this way of fighting.

"It's longer lasting than defense and fighting. Isn't this what our legion heavy infantry is best at!" Dracos seemed confident. "Even if the legion is placed in the middle, I believe our legion can still pierce the enemy's middle!"

"Now that you have made a plan for the battle in the meeting, why do we come to solicit our opinions! We can't do it by directly ordering it!" Epitanis said with resentment.

"That was just a preliminary plan." Felixstein said sincerely and emotionally: "I need your experience and wisdom to perfect this battle plan and get more chances for us to win. This is for Dai. Niah!"

Epidnis and Drax glanced at each other, and then leaned forward to Philius...

……………………………

After two days of hard work, the Samonei-Hilpini expanded their camp and surrounded Potentia tightly, except to the south, because there was a Basento River.Hilpini chief Veroni only sent people to build a few simple outposts on the other side of the river to observe the movements in the city. When the pontoon was burned, he did not worry that the Potentians would cross the river and run away. If the Potentians gave up the fortified fortress and chose to cross the river to escape, it was what he wanted.

However, some people in the river waters that Veroni imagined could prevent the Potentians from fleeing...

Half an hour later, Waller, the leader in charge of the city, came to the palace of the chief.

How could Puamott fall asleep peacefully, and when he heard that Vall was coming, he thought that the Potentians had some great movement outside the city, and immediately received Vall in the living room, and then listened to the excited report of the leader : "The messengers of Dionysia seek advice!"

"Printors, the company leader of the Dionysian Mountain Brigade, meets the leader of Puamot!" When the wet Printols salutes Puamot, the chief leader asks whether he has suffered. Lord Davis in Poseidonia...in Poseidonia...how...how?"

"This morning, Lord Davis led the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Legions to wipe out Samone's reinforcements and defenders!" Prentals replied very simply.

"It's great! It's great!!" Puamot was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, and asked anxiously: "Is Lord Davis able to lead the army to Potentia tomorrow?"

Printols did not answer directly, but took a small waterproof leather tube from the neck and pulled out a paper roll from inside: "This is the letter that Lord Davis asked me to give you the chief."

Puamott took it in a hurry, opened it, and then looked dignified: "Go and call Pollet!"

Pollet, who was in the backyard all day and was panicking, learned that the Dionysian army had defeated the Samone in Poseidonia, and then saw Davis’s secret letter. Mott is different, already eager to try: "Master Davis let us cooperate with your mountain reconnaissance team, tonight to disturb the enemy camp, in response to tomorrow's army!"

Instead, Printos looked calm and said: "Before going up the mountain, I specially observed the Camp Samonet. The fleeing soldiers who fled into the camp made the camp quite chaotic, and half of my brothers pretended to be. Bing, get in... Now, I have a better idea!"

…………………………………

The Hippini prepared everything necessary for the siege, and waited for the army to go to Poseidonia to return to work together to eat the fish in the net of Potentia cleanly.

This night, Veroni fell asleep early.

"Father! Father!!..." Galney suddenly broke into the big tent and woke him up.

"What's the matter?" Veroni opened his slack eyes and looked at the son standing in front of him deliberately.Then he heard panic and said: "It's a big deal! The reinforcements we sent to Poseidonia were... wiped out by the Dionysians!!"

"What?!!!" Veroni's drowsiness was scared away: "How is this possible?!!! We sent more than 20,000 Pentney, Cautini warriors, Tolek, Quinndu Ke is a general with great combat experience!...unless...unless..."He thought of a possibility, and his breath was quick.

"Dionysia's reinforcements from Turui arrived long ago in Poseidonia, but they quietly ambushed..." Guerny told his father what he had heard from the soldiers who had fled. .

After listening to his son's words, Veronidon felt cold in his hands and feet, and he sat back on the bed with his buttocks, and his head was a mess.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Has Tolek and Quinduk escaped?"

"I heard that the leader of Tolek is dead, and Queduinc has no news..." Guerny looked depressed.

A sudden grief rose in Veroney's heart, but this was not the time for sorrow, he immediately asked again: "How many soldiers have Pentney and Cautini fled back?"

"How can we count in the night? Anyway, there are constantly soldiers escaping into the camp from several directions..."Garni finished and asked anxiously: "Father, what should we do now?!"

The bad news came too suddenly, and at this moment Veroni was so confused, how could he come up with something.Just as he bowed his head and meditated, there was a loud noise outside the big tent, and the noise became louder and louder, especially clear at night.

"The reinforcements we sent to Poseidonia were defeated!"

"Dionysia's reinforcements are here, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people. We are to be surrounded!"

"Flee quickly, Hilpini's brothers!"

...

"Not good!" Veroni jumped up in shock, and hurried to the account: I saw that it should be a quiet camp at night, but it was boiling at the moment. The soldiers were at a loss, one after another, naked and one after another. Drilled out of the tent, began to panic and shouted after others, walking around...

Veronie saw the silhouettes everywhere in the camp... The first time the Samonians organized such a large army and the first war that lasted so long (from the time when the troops were assembled), so Veron Nepal has not experienced such a big mess, and of course he doesn’t know what it means to be "Ying Xiao", but he instinctively felt the danger and immediately criticized Galney severely: "When these defeated soldiers fled back, you They should be isolated to avoid affecting the morale of our warriors! Now you go back to your tribe immediately, maintain the order of your tribe, and let the warriors stay in the camp, not to come out!"

Guerney hurried away.

Veroni urgently called his guards, holding torches, to inform the leaders such as Leskok and Lucchini, and ordered them to do their utmost to restrain the ministries.

It was only then that Veroney discovered that the camp was not well planned before. The distance between the tribes was far, and the tents were too dense and disorderly. The passage between them was narrow and curvy. It was fine during the day and very flustered at night. Easy to cause blockage...

He can only stay outside the big tent, surrounded by hundreds of guards, hoping that the leaders of the tribes can play a role, waiting for the commotion in the camp to calm down a little, he will put the guards into the camp again. Maintaining order, he suspected that enemies in the camp were making trouble.

……………………………

At this time, outside the lively Camp of Samone, under the hill where Potentia was located, Bollet led a thousand soldiers lurking quietly...

"Can we attack?" Pollet stared at the Camp of Samonet, not far away, and itchy, and eagerly whispered to Printols beside him.

The company leader of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade and the executor who once cleverly captured Asprostum was so calm at the moment, Shen Sheng said, "Wait."

"Wait! What are you waiting for?!" If it weren't because the speaker was a Dionysian officer holding a Davis Smith order, Pollet had already acted.

Printols seemed unable to hear the urge and irritability in Pollet's words. He kept looking at the camp in front and whispered: "Wait for the fire to start."

……………………………

Standing in the large tent, Veroni saw a dark camp with lit torches, and it seemed that the leaders of the tribes had begun to take action.

But he observed for a while, and found that the situation was not well contained.

At night, the strong mountain wind not only did not cover the noise of the camp, but also made him chill. When he wanted to go back to the big account and put on a wolf skin robe, there was a bigger sound in the camp again: "Fire! ! It’s on fire!!!"

fire!Veroney shuddered in his heart. He fixed his eyes and looked forward. The front was still dark, but his heart was sinking, and then turned back: a fire blazed in the distance directly behind the big tent, where it was Sa A place where the Monet people store their food!
