Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

However, the attention of the Dionysian light infantry was mostly attracted by the tower, making Syracuse’s light infantry not only throwing javelins on the tower, but also rushing to the trench, under the cover of the arrow car, Xiang Mu Enemies on the wall threw javelins and even fired rockets at the curtain wall.

The soldiers of the Dionysian Legion had to guard against the javelin thrown under the tower and the wall, protect the wooden wall from being burned, and block the enemy from climbing up the wall through the ladder.

"Siege car! The enemy's siege car is under the wall!" exclaimed the soldier.

Matolis had just cut down the trenches of an enemy who was about to climb up the wall. He looked at the probe and saw that an intact siege car not far below the arch arched several burning and piled up. A siege vehicle, through the trenches that had been filled, was almost pushed under the wooden wall.

"Block! Pour asphalt!" Matonis hurriedly shouted.

"Clang!" His guard blocked a thrown javelin with a long shield.

"Leader, there is no more fuel!" the soldier shouted in frustration.

"Go and look in the camp! There is no tar left!" Mattonis commanded his guards while commanding the soldiers: "Smash me hard!"

Wood and stones smashed on the siege car under the city, which seemed to have little effect on it.On the contrary, under the protection of the herringbone canopy, the Syracuse forcefully pushed the hammer with the iron block on the top, hitting hard against the wooden wall, the wooden wall made a "creaking" sound, shaking and shaking, even The nearby Syracuse soldiers who were climbing the ladders fell under the influence and fell into the trench.

Mattonis grasped the wall stack with both hands, thinking anxiously how to deal with it, and exclaimed from the back: "Burn! The wooden wall is burning!"

…………………………………

"Your Majesty, there was a wooden wall in the area where the Fourth Army was responsible for the defense. It was hit by oil tanks and rockets many times by the Syracuse, and the fire was ignited. Now the fire has been extinguished. However, there is a wood up to ten meters away. The wall was burnt out, but fortunately the trench in front was not filled, and the enemy did not immediately rush under the wall, destroying the wooden wall. Epitanis had already dispatched a light armor brigade of the Fourth Army to set up a defensive position behind the wall..." Tolmed reported the danger just now to Davers, who had been out of the tent and was watching the defense of the Fourth and Seventh Legions.

Davos just frowned slightly, looking at the light armor brigade that was standing in front of the wooden wall in front of him, and thought for a while, said: "It seems that Dionysius focused his offensive focus on my Chinese military camp, Xi The Rakuza people still have a good way to attack the city. It is a little difficult to rely on the fourth and seventh legions to stop the attack of so many people...Tormid!"

"in!"

"You go to inform the 2nd, 5th, and 6th legions of the left and right battalions to rush to the Chinese army battalion immediately!" Daveus gave the order decisively, but made Tolmed startled: Your majesty, all the troops are withdrawn, then... what about those two camps?!"

"Dionysius wants it, then give it to him." Daveus said easily, and the soldiers' hard work for several days was in vain.

"Slow down, don't let them all withdraw first, leave the light infantry defense for the time being, and wait for the enemy to attack, you can also give them some damage." Daveus emphasized again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tolmed turned to go, but he heard a cry of exclamation in front of him, and then heard a "bang" loud noise, in the "clap" sound, appeared in front of the wooden wall A big gap.

"Your Majesty, the enemy bombarded a section of our wooden wall with a siege car!"

Daveus calmed down and shouted, "Izam!"

"Brothers, follow me!" Izam had been waiting for a long time, leading his mountain investigation team and rushing towards the gap.

Seeing this situation, Tolmed also accelerated the pace at his feet.

…………………………………

"Sir, the army of Dionysia's left and right battalions has begun to move towards the Chinese army battalion!"

Dionysius heard the return of the scout ride and stood up excitedly: "Daveus is finally fooled! Gather troops to attack Dionysia's left battalion!"

"Yes!"

The Chinese military battalion in the Dionysian camp is facing the west wall of the Siriting, while the left and right battalions seem to stretch out their arms to surround the north and south sides of the Siriting.The left battalion was stationed by most of the soldiers of the Sixth and Fifth Legions, and the Fifth Legion was the most lost Dionysian legion in this war. Although it was later supplemented by some soldiers, its strength is definitely not as good as it was in the past. The Sixth Army Corps was formed just before the war. So far, it has only participated in this battle in Crotone. Therefore, neither the quality of the left battalion nor the tacit cooperation of the team is better than that of the battalion stationed in the right battalion. The 2nd Army and a small number of 6th Army soldiers can see this difference in strength from the traps and obstacles placed in front of the two battalions.

Dionysius had already understood this well in the past few days, so he naturally wanted to start with the weakest part of the Dionysian army.

The north gate of Siriting is wide open. More than 10,000 reorganized and well-equipped armored Siracusa are elite, plus thousands of freemen who only took out simple wooden shields and spears. Under the personal leadership of Dionysius, twenty thousand people killed the left camp.

This news soon spread to Dionysia's Chinese military camp.

"Your Majesty, our left battalion may not be able to hold it!" the clerk Hernipolis said silently.

"Don't I have said it before, Dionysius wanted it, even though it was taken." Daveus said unhurriedly: "He thought that if we broke our camp, he would be able to defeat us, but not Knowing that our plan is right. Now Dionysius is too obsessed with the outcome of a battle, and he can no longer consider the outcome from the entire battle situation..."

Heliponis nodded incomprehensiblely, while using a pen to quickly record what Daphs said on the papyrus.

"Tolmed!"

"in!"

"Informed Felixius and Olivers that the two heads of troops led the troops to form an array 20 meters away from the east wooden wall, and at the same time, the second legion led by Amintas stood on the wooden wall north of the Chinese army camp, After defending the enemy and occupying the left battalion, they will continue to attack the Chinese army camp." Daveus issued the order again: "And... after they are all deployed, tell Matonis and Epitanes not to send troops to block the few." A gap, let the enemy in."

"Yes!"

Daveus finished the deployment in one breath, and he relaxed a little. He turned his head and looked at the somewhat confused Das Henipolis. He couldn't help explaining: "The left camp was lost, the right camp was also lost. Come to us. It doesn’t matter. Our goal is to kill Syracuse soldiers as much as possible, so that Dionysius loses a lot of elite soldiers, and thus loses the ability to take the initiative to attack. When Dionysius led the army, out of the fortress When protecting and actively attacking us, he was actually doomed to his failure..."

…………………………………

After paying little casualties, the army led by Dionysius entered the left battalion. The camp was empty. The attack was too easy, which made Dionysius slightly surprised. Of course, he thought: This is the main It was he who used heavy soldiers to attack the Dionysian military battalion and confuse Davos for transferring the main force of the left battalion.But at this moment, he didn't have time to taste the joy of victory slowly. The large troops were bravely attacking the Dionysian Army Camp. The price paid was great. He must seize the time and quickly enter the camp from the side. Destroy the Dionysians!

Dionysius led the soldiers to quickly run through the passage between the tents, rushing to the south, the shouting and screaming in front of them became louder and clearer...

It's coming!Dionysius became more and more excited.

When they bypassed this tent area, he stopped stunned: a tall, long wooden wall more than 20 meters ahead blocked his direction, and there was a trench in front of the wooden wall!

"How could this be?! Why did the Dionysians build such a thick wooden wall and dig such a wide trench within the entire camp instead of just separating them with wooden fences?!" Here is the expectation of victory It was crushed in an instant, and the strong sense of drop and fear of failure made the determined Dionysius roar with grief and anger.

"Master, be careful!" The light infantry of the Second Legion on the wooden wall poured arrows and javelins down. The Syracuse soldiers hurriedly built a shield to defend, and the guards also protected Dionysius.

Dionysius listened to the "clang! Dang!" made by the collision of arrows and shields, the harsh metal was brittle, and his emotions gradually became anxious: it seems that the Dionysians built wooden walls and trenches in the camp The Chinese military camp was protected. Obviously, the need to give up the left and right battalions had long existed. Unfortunately, there were wooden walls and traps blocking the outside of the camp, and the scouts could not detect the situation inside. The messengers of the Asian camp negotiated with cloth when entering and leaving the camp. They didn't know the details of the camp at all... Did he fall into Dave's fate again?!

Since Dionysius thought that he had broken the left battalion in advance and continued to attack south, he could successfully enter the Chinese army battalion, so the soldiers only carried the ladder, no more siege equipment, and they were like siege Large equipment such as towers and siege cars cannot be pushed into the camp. Therefore, in the face of the heavily guarded Chinese military camp, the Syracuse people were helpless.

Dionysius spent a lot of time and energy to prepare the attack camp plan, and it was about to burst. A deep sense of frustration left him a little confused. He murmured the name "Daveus" , I can't think of a good way to deal with the difficult situation at the moment...
