Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

688 Dionia vs. Rome (2)

Saying that food is levied is actually robbery by force.Since Rome and its allies often fought together, they already had a more professional logistics support system, and there were specialized quartermasters to prepare food. The main food came from the unified dispatch of the Senate and the allies provided a certain amount of grain according to the covenant. .But the Roman army also often collected food in enemy-occupied areas, which could serve the purpose of weakening the enemy and strengthening itself.

But now Camillus is clearly aware that these scattered infantry squadrons are very likely to be the targets of the Dionysian cavalry: "Frus, we better prepare the light infantry, once the Dionysian cavalry is found Going to the north of our camp and attacking the returning soldiers, we immediately dispatched a light infantry brigade to drive away the enemies and lead the returning boys."

Frius said disapprovingly: "The Cavalry of Dionysia probably came from Selsche, and there are nearly 40 miles from Sergio to us. Even though the Dionysian cavalry is even more powerful, it has been traveling like this. After a long distance, there can be no more power to invade our soldiers further north."

"We don't know Dionysians, but don't underestimate them! It's always right to make more preparations in advance," Camulus reminded patiently.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Frius said with a shrug.

He was about to turn around and leave the account, and the guards came in a hurry: "Two military and political officers, there are a lot of black cavalry in the south of the barracks!"

Camillus and Fryus tightened their minds and quickly walked out of the tent.

In the camp, the news that "cavalry was attacked by unknown cavalry" was spreading, causing a commotion among the soldiers. Many people were whispering and talking about the matter. They also asked Camulus and Frius passing by.

How could they answer, quickly came to the south of the camp under the wall of the wall, the walkway on the wall was already filled with soldiers, they looked out of the camp curiously, whispering about something.

The two climbed up to the outpost and looked out: there were hundreds of black armoured cavalry a few hundred meters away, arranged in a relatively neat queue, with a few large flags held high, and shining golden light at the top.They stood quietly, although they only had Baiqi, but they gave people a sense of not being underestimated.

"I heard that the flag of Dionysian army was set with golden statues of their deities. It seems that this is indeed the cavalry of Dionysian!" Frius said solemnly.

Camillus didn't speak. His eyes were fixed on the generals with bright caps on the crowns of the helmets of the Dionysian cavalry, speculating about the purpose of the Dionysians appearing in front of the barracks.

…………………………………

At the moment, Amintas was among the cavalry. He was carefully observing the layout of the Roman barracks.

"A little further." Amintas said, driving the horse forward, and the cavalry had to keep up.

There was a loud noise inside the camp in Rome.

"Legion, you can't go any further!" the adjutant Lala reminded loudly.

"Aristonos, you are the son of Scombras (although Scombrus is the oldest in the senate, he often slammed his opponents at the venue and was nicknamed 'Roarer.'), inheriting his bravery." Amintas quipped with ease: "Did you stay in the staff for a while, and your courage is gone?!"

After listening to Prentals, there was no response on his face.

Aristonos had no intention of joking, he said anxiously: "Legion, I am worried about your safety!"

"It's still far away from the enemy's camp, not to mention we all ride horses." Amintas smiled and turned to look aside: "If the enemy's cavalry rushes out, Ledes, will your cavalry protect me? "

The leader of the 1st Cavalry Corps Lades said seriously: "According to our previous engagement with the Roman cavalry, their cavalry is far from our opponent, so rest assured, even if there are more cavalry out of their camp, I will Can guarantee to return you safely to the camp."

"Haha, I'll wait for you! Our cavalry has the upper hand, which is good news!" Amintas smiled as he watched the barracks in Rome.

It didn’t take long for the smile on his face to disappear. Although the previous Romans had a great advantage in the battle with the Walseys, they obviously did not relax their vigilance, and their camps were never built in haste: dense The Luzhai, which is arranged under the wall, the moat surrounding the entire camp, and the towering tower next to the wall is every 20 to 30 meters, and there are earth barriers and wooden walls that stand tall. He couldn't see what was inside the camp at all.

In addition to not knowing whether there were traps outside the camp, Amintas felt that the defense of this Roman camp could not be underestimated, so he frowned and whispered: "This camp is not easy to attack."

At this time, Prentals said righteously: "The Legion Commander, there is one more thing that needs our attention! A short time before we arrived at this camp, the top was full of soldiers." Prentals Pointing to the dense but untidy Roman soldiers in front of the wooden wall, reminded Amintas: "This shows that this Roman army is well-trained! If you want to attack their camp before their troops meet, destroy this. A Roman army will be very difficult! The casualties of the First Army will never be low!"

Amintas was silent for a while and said, "Then fight with them!"

"Amintas, I am afraid that the Romans now know that our army is here. Do they dare to go out and fight with us and the Walseys?" Lades reminded euphemistically.

"You have to give it a try!" Amintas said with his mouth, and thought that this possibility was not too big, because they had already circled the Roman camp for most of the time, and found that every place was basically the same, no obvious defect.Through the observation of the camp, he has initially understood the characteristics and style of this Roman army and its generals: this is a prudent and serious army!

Is it really only stationed in the camp to defend against the attack of the large forces after the confluence of the Romans?!Amintas was unwilling.

Just as he was preparing to set the horse back to the place where the camp was to be built, a scout came from the northwest: "Reported to the commander of the Ledes Army, in the village of Walsey in front that several Roman troops were looting food, The captain of the team asked, do you want to eliminate it? (According to the establishment of the Dionysian cavalry, a cavalry corps consists of 2,000 people and has four brigades, each with 500 men; one brigade has five companies, one There are one hundred companies in the company; one company has ten teams, and one team has ten people.)"

"How many enemies?" Ledes asked.

"About 200 enemies." Scout replied.

"Fatty meat doesn't eat to your mouth, is Adam Smith silly?!" Lades said immediately: "You tell your captain, destroy them as much as possible!"

"Yes!" The scout rides away.

"Wait a minute!" Amintas yelled at him loudly: "Are you only seeing those more than 200 enemies? Or are you just these 200 enemies outside the camp?"

Amintas's question was a bit confusing, but the cavalry understood, pointing to the northwest, and said, "Amintas commander, our brigade is in this direction, we have not searched elsewhere."

Amintas immediately turned to look at Ledes: "Old friend, I need your help! Send the cavalry behind you, and check how many Roman soldiers in this area are looting food, then Give me back quickly!"

"Okay." Ryders didn't refuse, and he immediately turned to the cavalry and gave the task.

"Head of the Army of Amintas, do you want to use these Roman soldiers to lure their large troops out?" Prentals responded quickly, roughly guessing what Amintas did.

Amintas glanced at him, and said with a little excitement: "We can't do anything at all, we watched the Romans meet, and when the large army of 50,000 people pressed over, even if the First Army was even more powerful, Unstoppable!"

Under his gaze, Prentals nodded in recognition of his opinion.

"Aristonos!" Amintas turned back and said to the adjutant: "Send scouts to inform the brothers of the 1st Legion, stop them from building camps, wear armor and weapons, and march towards the Roman barracks , Waiting for my order at any time."

"Yes!" Aristonos replied excitedly.

At this time, Ledes had sent some cavalry. After hearing the orders from Amintas, he had to remind: "The situation is not completely clear, so don't make such a big move, just in case There are only more than 200 enemies there. In case the Roman army in the camp will never leave the camp, you will not only be busy, but also suffer the complaints of the soldiers!"

"They dare!" Amintas glared, and then said firmly: "Wait until you understand everything, and then make preparations, I'm afraid it will be too late! We're afraid this is the only chance, it may make the Romans Battle with us!"

"I agree with the commander of the Army of Amintas. I have to give it a try. If the final situation is not what we thought, it would be a big deal for the soldiers to stay in the city of Boleverham tonight, and then build the camp tomorrow." Pu Lintols said that he discovered a characteristic of Amintas: the commander of the legion had a strong desire to fight and would not let go of any small fighter.

He went on to say: "In addition, we also need to remind Peleforham and the Volsi forces in Setia that once the Romans in the camp are actually killed, we need to join them to defeat them."

"I'm only responsible for fighting with the Romans. You are responsible for all these other tedious things, how?" Amintas asked simply.
