Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Black soldiers! So the Legion of Dionysia is here, I don't know which one!" Xenophonus thought in his heart, with excitement flashing in his eyes. He turned and ran to the south of the town, where there were free people The gathering area of ​​Hegongli.

The people who fled Meyaro rushed into the town in panic, causing a blockage of the already narrow passage to the town, which prevented the suspension bridge from being pulled up and the town’s gate from closing.

While the Siculians were anxiously rushing into the city, the company led by Leotizides had already rushed out of town. Seeing this, the whole team was not waited and immediately ordered: Attack!

The soldiers rushed to the north gate and pierced the spear at the people who were stuck outside the town.

The screams kept ringing, and the people who were going to enter the town were even more frightened. Some simply jumped into the moat, while others squeezed desperately into the town. The civilian soldiers at the town gate could not stop it.

When Melisanda’s team arrived, he was seeing the killing of the company of Ortizides on the suspension bridge of the north gate of Meyaro town, which made the front of the town extremely bloody and chaotic. Melisanda thought about it: If his unit went up, he could only follow the "lunatic" company, maybe he could not even reach the enemy, so he rushed into the city.

Melisanda was unwilling.At this time, he saw some Meyaros fled to the other side around the moat, and he immediately shouted: "Follow me to attack another town gate!"

The soldiers chased the fleeing people to the east gate of Meyaro, but found that the suspension bridge had been pulled up.

Melisanda's heart was cold.

"Captain, what should I do?" the soldiers asked urgently.

Melisanda was also very anxious in his heart. Looking back, there were other teams running to this side, but he did not find the engineering camp carrying the ladder and carrying the wooden board. Obviously they must have fallen behind.

Should we wait here?!Melisanda looked back at only twenty or thirty enemies sparsely on the wooden wall in front, and only a few people shot arrows at them who had entered the range. They did not threaten them in armor, but Can't predict whether you will be thrown by the javelin after approaching the wooden wall.

"Lee tortoiseshell!" He took the opportunity to make a decisive decision: "Approaching the moat, pour in the water!"

He saw that there were not many enemies on the wooden wall, and his eyes were only over three meters high.

Fifty soldiers received orders and immediately surrounded Melisanda in a compact square formation, covered with long shields all over their heads, like a huge iron-clad box, and walked slowly towards the moat.

The other teams were also handled like this. There were teams far away from the town gate, and even the tortoise shells were not listed, and quickly ran to the moat.

The people of Sikuli who could not enter the town fled in panic, and the soldiers had no psychological experience at all.

At this moment, there was a sound of fighting and screaming behind the gate, which was mixed with a horrified cry: "Freemen and slaves rebelled!!......"

Soon, the Siculians on the wooden wall no longer watched the Dionysian soldiers in front of the city, but turned to resist the mob rushing up the wooden ladder.

Bows and arrows continued to shoot at the wooden wall, causing the unprotected Sikuli to fall down.

Although Melisanda under the city did not know what was happening in the town, how could such a good opportunity not be used? He immediately told the soldiers to disperse the tortoise shells, hurry to the moat, and throw down the long shield and the spear, Only equipped with daggers, jumped off the moat.

Although the armor makes the body heavy, it usually has specialized training in this area during military training.The width of the moat is three or four meters. You kick your legs and draw your arms twice to reach the opposite bank.

Melisanda and the soldiers struggled to climb ashore, and were about to lean against the wooden wall, but the suspension bridge was put down, and then the wooden door was also opened, and someone shouted loudly on the city head: "I am a reserve citizen of Dionysia. Nofennis, the Scully have been run away by us! Soldiers of the Legion, hurry and enter the city!"

Hearing this, Melisanda suddenly froze, and the laughter of the soldiers of other units sounded in his ear: "Captain Melisanda dives again!"

The men next to him were also complaining about the captain: "Are you cursed by the Goddess of Doom, and even we are unlucky with you!"

Melisandre watched the other teams walk across the suspension bridge and into the town of Meyaro easily, annoyed: "All follow me to swim back!"

"Ah, it's going to launch again?!"

"The long shield and the spear are on the other side, don't you get it back!"

………………………………

In the afternoon, the First Army of Dionysia completely occupied the town of Meyaro at the cost of minor casualties.

The town of Meyaro is a town, but its area is larger than the city of West Curry, worthy of its name, but there is no authority such as a council, senate, or city hall in the town. It only has A mansion of the ruling official, the usual administrative management and law making are all decided here.

The city of Sicully was originally a democratic city-state. After it surrendered to Syracuse, Dionysius supported the first surrendering of the Siculi, Shibagris, to become the general of Siculi. The people of Sicully, deterred by Dionysius' obscene prestige, had to succumb, so that Siculi also became an arrogant city state.Sibagris appointed his confidant as the Mayor of Magyar, and instead of him, he directly governed Meyal, thus completely controlling the former Naxos territory under the rule of the Sicilian tyrant.

But now sitting in the first seat of the administrative hall of Meyaro's palace is no longer under Shibagris, but Antonios, commander of the First Army of Dionia.

"The commander of the army, the Siculians in the town have been arrested by us. There are a total of 3653 people, and most of them are old people, women and children. What do you think about it?" The first captain, Georgris Some could not bear to say.This attack should have been the fourth brigade's first success in breaking the city, because the company of Leotizides belonged to the fourth brigade, rushing to the forefront, and it seems that the north gate will be broken. Who knows that there has been a riot in the city On the contrary, several sub-teams led by Melissanda led by the first brigade entered the town from the east gate and won the first prize, which also gave Giogris the right to deal with the captives in the town.

"Master Antonias, don't be too kind to the Scully! They used to be allies of Naxos. Instead of fighting alongside us, they betrayed the covenant, turned to Syracuse, and assisted the evil Dionysius Si broke through our city and occupied our land. Every year, he sent troops to the mountains in the western part of Etna to search for our escaped people, regardless of whether they were men or women, they were captured back as slaves... Now the goddess of vengeance finally responds to us Naxos Pious prayers, send you Dionysian warriors to bring anger to the Sikuli, and they must be turned into slaves, tortured to death!..." Standing beside Laodicean, as this time One of the organizers who responded to Dionysia's offensive and launched riots in the town, Torilaus of Naxos gritted his teeth.

Giogris frowned, looked at Antonios, opened his mouth and wanted to speak. Antonios winked at him and said with deep sympathy: "Naxos is our ally of Dionys. The suffering suffered is like the suffering suffered by the people of Dionysia...Trotilas!"

"In!" The third captain Trotilas responded loudly.

"You go to put the Scully on the square now, let the people of Naxos identify the crimes they committed, and punish them according to their requirements!" This method of Antonios is obviously borrowed from the beginning. What Firth did to the captives of Crotone in Turrii.

"Yes!" Trotila turned away.

"Sir Antonios, I will organize the people to go to the square!" Torilaus said happily.

Antonios nodded, and Geogris wanted to say that the second captain of the side, Zantiparis, patted his leg with his hand to signal his calmness.

Anthony’s eyes bet on it, and said seriously: "The adequacy of food is an important foundation for our legion and the people of Naxos to be able to gain a foothold here! So, Georgios, I will send you to check The food reserves of this town, and collect the food from these Sikuli's homes, are distributed by us collectively, understand?"

"Yes, Commander of the Legion." Giogris knew that Antonios was a little dissatisfied with his performance just now, so he was transferred from the task of seeing the captive, and he was assigned a new task to do. He expressed obedience.

Antonios watched Giogris leave, and he was slightly relieved. If it was Amintas who had repeatedly expressed his resistance to the orders given, he had already screamed, but he would not.What's more, as a member of the original "Silos team", Geogris, although not as close as Hilos, Matonis, Olivers, Maltius, and Daphes, but the relationship is not bad, why should it be because of this Trivialize scolding Giogris, and affect his own perception in Davos. Although Giogris is not a talkative person, here is a dangerous person...

Anthony’s gaze quickly glanced at Xenophonus, who was quietly standing in an inconspicuous corner, and then quickly withdrew his mind. He continued to ask: "General Saratos has taken his troops to take over the port (Sara Tous is the general of the Lijim force sent by Lijim to cooperate with the First Army)?"

"Yes, sir." Naodisos Laodisian replied: "General Saratos also brought more than 300 strong-aged slaves in order to facilitate Jim's ships to land at the port and be able to smoothly transport food. And the materials were unloaded smoothly."

"I can rest assured that the port is functioning normally." Antonios said with a sigh: "Unfortunately, there are no military facilities in the port, and it is impossible to park warships. Our fleet had to go back to Lijim to rest."
