Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"So let the enemy attack into the town, take advantage of our Dionysian soldiers’ good at close combat, and use these narrow streets and ruins to prevent the enemy’s superior strength from being fully exerted. This is what we have formulated in advance. The battle plan is the correct one, and we should stick to it!" Geogris emphasized.

"But the enemy is not fooled! Waiting like this, the Syracuses did not come in. The stone fired by the ballista has hit our heads!" Tigtinos shouted anxiously.

"Actually, this kind of play by the Syracuse people is good for us. Didn't the spies who rushed to the port by express boat last night? Today they are going to start riots in several city-states such as Syracuse and Katana. Perhaps, in the end, they will not have to fight with the Syracuses, they will be forced to retreat." Zantiparis said with some expectation.

"Do you believe what the guys who have no courage and who are only sneaky?" Tegtinos blurted out.

The other team officers' faces changed a little when they heard this. They heard how many of these spies were a close friend of King Davis.

Antonios glanced at the awkward Xerofennis, and yelled Tigetinos softly: "Without the help of Xenophonus, would we take Meyaro so easily! Can it be so fast? Get Sicilian help! Childish!"

As a matter of fact, Antonios was also dubious about the secret letter from the spies, but the reality of the situation left him no choice.In this strange land, they are basically hostile forces. In addition to staying in Meyaro, where can his first legion retreat!If the plan of Antrapolis is successful, it is of course a joy for everyone!

At this time, the soldiers looking at the port hurriedly ran to report: "Master Legion, our fleet... our fleet is coming!"

The damn Seckrian finally arrived!Antonius's spirit was greatly boosted: "Order the troops to lead the families of the exiles, maintain order, and retreat to the port!"

"Yes, Lord Legion." The captains and the leader of the exile responded in unison.

Seckrian did not actually come, he was still recovering from Lijim.Although Sekelian usually has a flamboyant personality and does not like to be commanded by the legion, he will never be ambiguous at the critical moment of war.What’s more, yesterday Anthony sent the Clippers at risk, rushed to Lijim, and asked him: I hope that the Dionysian fleet will arrive in Meyaro early tomorrow in response to the Siracusa’s full attack!

Seckrian did not dare to ignore it, and he specially warned Flarios, who took the command of the fleet on his behalf: to lead the fleet early the next morning, and rush to Meyaro as soon as possible!

The arrival of the Dionysian fleet and the influx of soldiers and people in the town to the port were reported back to Marcias by the reconnaissance.

Marcias, after angrily scolding Paronis for his incompetence, then asked: "Where is the reinforcements?!"

"It's past Siculi, and it should be on the south bank of Alcantara soon."

"Send someone to urge them to go faster!" Marcias finally gave the order: "Bell the offense, don't let the Dionysians run away!"

Yes, Marcias spent so much time preparing and consumed so many guns, but not only to chase the Dionysian army that invaded Sicily, but to completely and completely destroy it to inspire tin The morale of the Rakuza people earned him fame.

Due to time constraints, the Dionysians could not have time to escape from the port and land in other parts of Sicily. Marcias could not allow the army to bypass the north of Meyaro, which also has traps and obstacles, and then rush It's too time-consuming to attack the port in the east.As a result, the Syracuse coalition soldiers attacked directly from the west town that had been cleaned up, crossed the wooden wall that was almost disappeared by the ballistic artillery, and stormed into the town.

The mighty army was infiltrated by a stream of criss-cross streets, and soon the Siracusa Allied Forces ran into trouble.

"Aw! My feet! My feet are pierced!"

"Quick stop! Don't squeeze forward, there is a big pit in front, captain they all fell into the pit!"

...

The Syracuse people never imagined that the Dionysians not only made traps and obstacles outside the town, but also in the town.

In fact, this was made yesterday by the soldiers of the First Legion led the exiles overnight.Even if there was no urgent report from Katane’s agents last night, Antonios did not intend to lead the troops to escape by boat.For him, the order issued by Davis before the departure of the First Army did not "allow the retreat if the war was unfavorable." If he did not retreat first, even if Davies looked at the past, Forgive him, I am afraid he will have no future in Dionysia in the future.

For the soldiers of the First Legion, they considered it a little simpler: how have they been called the "most heroic" legionnaire by the Dionysian people, how could they allow themselves to be timid deserters!

Antonios' previous retreat was just to lure the enemy to attack ahead of time. Once they entered the town and began to fight with the legionnaires, the ballistas naturally dared not fire any more stone bombs.At the same time, he also wants to arrange the family members who care about the exiled soldiers and the army to take care of the distraction, so that the troops can fight with full concentration.

When the 300 cavalry of the Siracusa Allied Forces quickly rushed to the port, they saw more than 3,000 exiled soldiers form a square array to protect the port, behind them thousands of elderly, women, children Under the orderly guidance of the sailors, they rushed to the pier and stepped into the boat.

Of course, the Syracuse soldiers cannot attack the well-defended Greek phalanx. They are only guarded from afar, waiting for the infantry to arrive.

However, at this time, the Syracuse soldiers were frightened by the frequent traps. They advanced cautiously and began to expand to both sides.

At this time, the light infantry led by the seventh captain, Zitt, appeared. They did not throw arrows and throw javelins at the enemy like a regular battle, but hid in the ruined houses between the streets. Or lie on the ruins, or stand directly opposite the big pit and attack the enemy with precision shooting.

The Syracuse soldiers concentrated on detecting the traps in the road ahead, and suddenly an arrow flew out of the window of the side house and hit the soldier’s thigh without the armor; the upper roof suddenly dropped a javelin, which pierced the soldiers. The shoulder... Dionysian Light Infantry’s haunting sneak attack, because it is close range, so the killing rate is extremely high.

Since the Syracuse considered to fight head-on with the Dionysians, it was impossible for the light infantry to rush forward, and the heavy infantry rushing in front had now been caused by the Dionysian traps and long-range sneak attacks Fear of the heart, the speed of progress is slower...

…………………………………

In the city of Medema, although the Dionysians did not attack these days, the Medema defenders did not relax their vigilance, because the day before yesterday they watched as the despicable Dionysians were driven into battle before being driven. The captured Medemas and Lokers carried earth bags to fill a trench in front of the city wall.

The night before, the Medema took advantage of the night to pull down the ropes from the city walls and let the soldiers slide down, trying to dig back the filled trenches.Unexpectedly, the Dionysians had long been guarded, and ambushed light infantry not far away, causing Medema to destroy many soldiers.

The Madma people suffered from this setback and never dared to leave the city easily. They knew that they were in a dangerous situation. They could only defend the city with all their strength. Ma found a ray of life.

Today, Medema soldiers stood at the head of the city, watching the front with vigilance: The Dionysians began to line up in front of the city 100 meters away just like a few days ago, but this time the difference is that they are in front of more The two siege instruments, even at a distance of 100 meters, still made Medema soldiers feel their size.

"Quick! Come and see! What is that?!" The soldier shouted to his companion in panic.

"This... this should be a siege tower. I heard from the Lockreys that the Syracuses used this device to defeat many city-states."

"It seems to be higher than our city wall! We... how should we deal with this kind of thing?!"

At the moment when the defenders were nervous, "Woo!..." The attacking horn sounded through Dionysia's lineup, and the Madma siege began.

…………………………………

"Let's be careful!" The adjutant pressed Matonis, who had ventured close to the wooden wall, to hear only the strong wind of "huh", and a stone bomb whizzed past his head.

Matonis touched his neck with fear, and yelled: "Damn ballista team, he wants to kill—"

The voice did not fall, only to hear the bang of the "boom" ahead, the stone bomb hit the tower eight or nine meters away.

The Siracusa people's hastily made tower was not very strong. It was hit by a 15-kilogram large stone projectile on the top of the tower. Not only did the wood chips flew and the guards fell, but the tower was shaking and leaning backwards, accompanied by the tower javelin Screamed, the six-meter-tall tower hit the ground straight...

"Awesome! The ballista is really great! Continue to fight me like this!..." Matonis shouted excitedly.

The adjutant rolled his eyes: he was still scolding the ballista team just now, and his tone changed in a blink of an eye.

The tower was hit to excite the soldiers, but this was the only opportunity. After all, the tower was too close to the wooden wall, and the shot was only close to the wall, so it could hit the top of the tower. Too large, so the Dionysian garrison relied more on light infantry to launch rockets, throw oil tanks, or directly hit the javelin throwers at the top of the tower... Two towers have been burned by these methods.
