Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Printos was stunned, and did not say anything, then said: "Okay!"

Then he said to the lieutenant Aristonos: "I need your help!"

Aristonos looked at Amintas.

Amintas waved his hand and said, "Now you are under his command."

"Yes!" Aristonos promised, and immediately brought the heralding soldiers to the side of Prentals.

"Go and notify the Walsi people in Setia and Plefferhamm City and tell them that we are intercepting the soldiers who robbed food from Rome. The Roman army is likely to go out and fight with us. Ask them to call the soldiers and do Be prepared, once we have a large-scale battle with the Romans, please come and support them immediately!"

After Pringles gave the order, the two heralds drove away immediately.

Prentals asked Aristonos again: "Is there a record board?"

"Bring it." Aristonos took a small piece of black square wooden board and a white pen from behind the pad on horseback. This is the standard of the lieutenant of the legion, in order to prevent the commander from being communicated during a fierce battle. There are omissions in the issued order, and it can also be used as a tactical graphic board.Aristonos had been in the staff, he certainly knew how to use it.

"Marking the camp of Rome, Setia is about 2 miles south of it, Polefnum is about 16 miles south of it, and the camp we are going to build is 8 miles southwest of it..." Prentals is worthy of the staff The Ministry’s think tank, who had just arrived at Walsey yesterday, had kept these circumstances in mind.

Aristonos listened to Printols, while centering the Roman camp, marking each position on the board with a white pen and writing the distance number.

Amintas listened a few words aside, with his temperament it was impossible to patiently analyze and calculate these data, he only needed the final result, so he quickly walked away, looking at the north, anxiously waiting for investigation Ride brought back news.

The Leiders cavalry watched the Roman camp not far east to prevent the Roman cavalry from suddenly killing them, threatening the security of the officers.

In fact, Amintas did not wait long.

Not long after Lydes had dispatched cavalry, the cavalry brigades and companies that had previously been sent out sent cavalry back to report the enemy's situation: "Report to the commander of the army, the third company of the second cavalry brigade found more than one hundred Roman soldiers in the south."

"how far?"

"About ten miles!"

"Report the commander of the army, the first company of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade found about one hundred Roman soldiers at eleven miles to the north."

...

As one after another cavalry rushed back to report, Amintas's face became more and more intense, and he echoed: "Princels, there are more than a thousand Roman soldiers outside?!"

"According to the current statistics, more than 1,500 people have already passed." Prentals said immediately.

The lieutenant Aristonos also presented the record board with white text on a black background, densely painted with icons representing towns, camps, troops, and numbers of distances.

Amintas glanced, only feeling dizzy, not looking again, but said excitedly: "No need to wait for the return of other reconnaissance rides, there are already more than 1,500 Roman soldiers, and the Roman generals cannot easily abandon them. Grab them and lure out the Roman army and fight them here!"

Amintas stared steadily at Ledes and Prentals.

Printols did not hesitate at the moment, and immediately responded: "We should immediately notify the First Army to speed up the march and stop these Roman soldiers before returning to the camp!"

"Also tell the First Army that if a big team, a company, or a team arrives late, it will be severely punished by military law!" Amintas said again, with a hint of murder in the harsh tone.

"Yes!" Affected by this, the adjutant Aristonos looked a bit daunting when he gave orders to the soldiers.

"Amintas." Ledes was riding on the horse, and said to him solemnly: "I'm going to the north now, organize my cavalry, and try to slow down the Romans who are collecting grain and grass outside to return to their camp!"

"Thank you!" Amintas said a rare thank you, although before the coming, the military department handed over the overall command to assist Walsey to Amintas, but after all, he and Ledes are the commanders , In the position of equal rank (actually, as the founder of Dionysian cavalry, Ledes has the potential to command all cavalry of Dionysian).

"You don't have to thank me, I also get more fighting for the 1st Cavalry Corps." Lades said rightly: "After I leave, you have to be careful about your safety!"

Remind by Ledes, Amintas and Prentals also took a few cavalry away from the Roman camp.

…………………………………

The First Cavalry Corps set off from Selche and began to attack the Roman cavalry cruising in this area, in order to clear the surroundings, cover the eyes and ears of Rome, protect the march and camp of the First Corps, and finally they even went around To the north of the Roman camp.

In comparison, the marching speed of the First Army was much slower. When Amintas was planning a plan to "lead the snake out of the cave", the First Army had just arrived at the selected camp.The soldiers had just put down their armor and weapons. Under the command of the team officers, they picked up picks, wooden frames and other tools, and began to dig trenches in accordance with the design of the camp after the engineers surveyed the terrain.

At this moment, the herders sent back by Amintas arrived.

The captains of various brigades received orders from Amintas, and despite the doubts, the assembled bugle sounded without hesitation for a moment.

"Captain, let's put on armor and weapons, are we going to attack the enemy camp?" a company captain asked in doubt.

Captain Patroclus shook his head and said he didn’t know. He really didn’t know what was ahead. The command given by Amintas was a bit vague. He could only say: "Let the brothers speed up, our sixth team Can't fall behind other teams!"

"You can rest assured, captain. The brothers will not embarrass you!" The captain of the company immediately responded seriously.

Although Patroclus is young, he has a high prestige among the soldiers. He once won many wars. He is a hero of the kingdom. He now has a layer of identity that makes the soldiers awe-he is a great Daveus The king's son-in-law.

Six heavy infantry brigades, one light infantry brigade, one light armor brigade, and also included engineering battalions (because of the possibility of attacking enemy battalions), reconnaissance 100-person team, a total of more than 8,000 people, arranged in several columns, led by cavalry Next, began marching northward at normal speed.

The soldiers at this time were not dissatisfied with the need to march again. Due to the flat terrain and cooler weather in late autumn, the First Army was very relaxed during the previous two-hour march.The soldiers, who are still physically strong, are talking excitedly: Will there be fighting next?

After traveling for more than 20 minutes, Amintas's herding soldiers arrived again. This time the order was much clearer: the whole army marched urgently, arrived at his position, and then intercepted the Roman soldiers looted by the battalion!

Ketisus, Patroclus... These captains were all excited, they quickly issued orders, the horn sounded quickly, and the subordinate soldiers galloped between the marching columns.

Soon, the team officers shouted one after another, and the footsteps began to rumble...

…………………………………

After occupying Antium and Astura, the Roman army led by Camulus did not do anything to the many Walsi villages in the area behind him in order to quickly penetrate into Setia Clean up.

Due to the fairly rapid reaction of the Walsi, Setia and Peleforham entered the army. With preparedness, the Roman army had to build a camp to confront the enemy in front.

At the same time, Camillus repeatedly sent various Roman squadrons to the rear to collect grain and grass. On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure on the army’s food supply. On the other hand, it can take the opportunity to clean up these potentially potential threatening villages in Walsey, such as catching Arresting young and middle-aged men in the village and crushing the resistance of the Walseys in the process of raising food...

Camus was a squadron leader in Rome. He was ordered to take the squadron soldiers to the north to raise food early in the morning.

Due to the previous fund-raising, the village of Wals near the Roman camp was long searched and the people ran out, so the squadron of Camus, like other squadrons, traveled nearly ten miles north, only to find one There is oil and water in the village.

He immediately took the soldiers and rushed in like a wolf into the flock. After killing dozens of Walseys neatly, Camus's foraging operation became smooth.

Just as the soldiers escorted the pack cars brought by the Walseys to fill with grains, and at the same time loaded the supplies with several of the robbed carts, a Roman cavalry arrived. You immediately return to the camp, and there are enemies!"

Although Camus regretted that there were still a lot of supplies unloaded, he did not hesitate and immediately summoned the soldiers scattered in the village.

At this moment, he saw a lot of black cavalry from outside the village.

This is not like a Walsey Cavalry!Camus was puzzled, but the Roman cavalry who could answer his doubts knew where he was going.

Camus was not nervous at all. He was accustomed to the incompetence of Roman cavalry. He calmly asked 120 Roman soldiers to protect the cart full of food. He also caught a few Walseys to pull the pack. , A group of people just left the village in a hurry.

The black cavalry quickly gathered around and circled their ranks.

Camus warned the soldiers, but did not worry too much. As a veteran, he had seen the methods of attack by the Roman cavalry and other cavalry around him. He knew that in front of the Roman soldiers with long shields, the cavalry Not only has no effect, but it is easy to let yourself fall off.
