Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this moment, Hegsitus heard the rapid horn sound coming from the bottom of the city, and he couldn't help but feel tight: Is the Samone to step up the attack?!

But just when he reminded the soldiers at the head of the city to prepare for the defense and prepare for the enemy's next attack, he saw that the Samonais under the city began to retreat slowly in the dissatisfaction cry...

After all, the Samone defeated Dionysian and fought against the Dionysians again. All tribal chiefs were vigilant.Badani still sent spies to the southeast and northeast when he was attacking the city. At this time, he had just received an urgent return from the spies: "In the southeast, there are many Dionysian cavalry who are quickly moving towards Askurom city. March, the striker is not far from here!"

"Dionysia's reinforcements came so fast!" It took more than three days from the declaration of Samona's war to the present day, based on Badani's previous experience of fighting against the Greeks. At this time, Dionysia's central town map I'm afraid Liyi has just got the news. Perhaps he is arguing about the war in the Senate, or he is eager to mobilize his citizens to participate in the war. This may take several days, so he feels that he should have enough time to capture Askurum. However, he didn't expect the situation to turn sharply and suddenly, so that he was a little overwhelmed, because at this time, besides more than a hundred escorts, other soldiers were involved in the siege warfare, trying to capture the city in one fell swoop.

"Fortunately, it was only cavalry. Chief, quickly withdraw some of the siege soldiers and organize defenses!" the tribal leader next to him reminded.

"Withdraw? How to withdraw?" Badani looked forward to the soldiers who were huddled under the city and fighting bravely. With anxiety, he remembered his father's warning to him before he died, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I am afraid The Dionysians are not the only cavalry...we must retreat! Retreat immediately!!!"

Seeing Badani’s resolute attitude, even if the leaders are still unwilling in their hearts, they know that even if victory is in sight at this time, they can no longer attack the city, otherwise the Dionysian reinforcements will really kill, and their army will be defeated by the enemy. .

The retreat horn sounded, and the siege army began to retreat...

Seeing several Samoney soldiers jump directly from the city head, the leaders also sighed in distress.

"Woo! Woo!..." Badani was terrified immediately from the south with a high-pitched bugle.

Soon, the ground began to tremble, like a giant drum beat by countless wooden hammers, making a "rumbling" sound, accompanied by the sky of dust.

"The Dionysian cavalry is here!" exclaimed a Penteni leader next to Badani.

I saw countless cavalrymen wearing black helmets and black armor coming out of the dust. One of the big flags was raised high, and the flag was waving in the wind. The top was the design of Pegasus and a big Greece embroidered below The number "four".

"Sir, reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are here!!!" The citizens cheered on the city's head.

Hegsitus was finally relieved...

The Fourth Cavalry Corps did not directly hit the middle of the retreating Samone’s army, but went around the south wall, quickly spread out, and began to attack the tail of Samoney’s retreating army.They took advantage of the Samone's busy retreat, lacked effective organization, and were frightened by the Dionysian cavalry's raid, and were unable to achieve a collective counterattack for a time. They ignored the danger of being attacked by the opponent's javelin, and boldly approached to Within a distance of ten meters, investing in a short javelin, it was almost a hundred hits, which caused a lot of killing and caused chaos.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy, the cavalry drove the horses and rammed again, which finally led to the defeat of the Samonais.

Then, they drove these defeated soldiers very experienced to hit the Samonets.

When panic spread quickly in the team, no matter how brave the soldiers of Samonei followed the surrounding comrades to escape.

The retreating team is like the snow falling on the top of the mountain, and it is getting bigger and bigger. Even the team sent by Badani to intercept the Dionysian cavalry is wrapped into the fleeing crowd.

Badani finally gave up his efforts and led the Guards to escape first, guiding the direction of the defeated soldiers behind.

The Fourth Cavalry Regiment, the pursuit of the collapse of Samone did not last long, not because the cavalry did not want to achieve greater results, but because the city of Askurom was located on the southern bank of the upper reaches of the Karapelai River, which was originally located At the foot of the mountain, less than six or seven miles from the vast mountains, and the terrain was uneven along the way, the Samonet army quickly fled into the mountains.Even if they were brave, the Dionysian cavalry could not ride the horses and chase the enemy in the mountains.

This short rescue battle ended.During the previous siege and the raid by the Dionysian Fourth Cavalry Regiment, the Samonais suffered more than 2,000 casualties, while the Fourth Cavalry Regiment suffered more than a hundred casualties. To rescue the first victory in the Downey area.

It was not until late in the evening that Alexis and the Tenth Legion arrived at the city of Askurom. After all, leading the infantry march was different from riding a horse. The army departed from Puchti’s barracks and crossed the Ovanto River. To the Karapelai River, along the flat road of its bank, stepped up the road and walked for a full day before arriving at the city of Askurum.If it is not the cavalry legion marching fast, rush to the rescue in time, otherwise when the tenth legion arrives, I am afraid that the city has already changed ownership.

Hegsitus opened the city gate to greet the arrival of reinforcements and thanked Alexis.But that's all it is. The siege of the Samonaite caused a lot of casualties to the people of Askurom. Hegsitus had to be busy with post-war affairs this evening. Hold a banquet to entertain their savior.

Of course, Alexis would not care about this. Instead, he ordered the soldiers of the Tenth Legion to help clean the battlefield, burn the bodies, and even send a medical camp to rescue the injured people.

On the second day, Alexis will lead the army to continue to advance north. Because of fear that the Samone who fled into the mountains will make a comeback, he has left a large group of the Tenth Army to defend the empty As. Kurom city.

What Hegsitus now needs to do is to send cavalry to the east and quickly recall a large number of Askurom people who have not been able to escape into the city in order to strengthen the town's defense force.

Alexis led the army to the besieged city of Vibinum before arriving in the afternoon. The Samone army who had originally besieged the city apparently already knew the news of the arrival of Dionysian reinforcements, and withdrew the siege early and returned to the mountains. in.

Two days later, the reinforcements arrived at the central city of Lucia, the city of Dawney. The wartime governor of Dawney and Chief Executive of Luceneia, Antonios, the 11th Corps acting captain Capus, and Lu The middle- and high-ranking officials of Senia City and a large number of people went out to greet the city, and the momentum was huge.

"Thank you, Commander Alexis, for leading the army in time to rescue us, and Danny is saved!" Antonius said with a smile on his face. The appointment of the Governor-General during the war and the trust of Daveus wiped out his previous hearts. In the haze, even if the Samoan army is under pressure, his mood has been quite cheerful these days.

"During the war, you ran out of the city with so many people. In case you were attacked by the Samonaites, it doesn't matter if you are captured or caught, the order in the Dawn area will fall into chaos." Alexis Half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Antonios haha ​​laughed and said: "With your prestigious commander, the Samonei will only hide far away, but you haven't been here yet, brought us a victory!"

Alexis said modestly: "On this land, the prestige will only be His Majesty! You and I are just trying to fulfill our duties."

"You are right!" Antonius nodded immediately, and then stepped forward to give Alexis a strong hug: "My brother, thank you very much for your prompt rescue!"

Alexis froze for a moment and immediately responded to this enthusiastic hug.In the past few years, some small grudges between the two have completely disappeared in this hug.

At this time, Capps beside him paid a military salute and said in a rare joke: "Master Alexis Commander, Captain of the Eleventh Army reported to you!"

"I said Master Capps, don't scare me! The head of the regiment is only your part-time job, but you are the chief of the military department. We all have to listen to your command, otherwise we will have to be hungry!" Alexis said Then, with a fist, he thumped on Capps' chest, and the embarrassment of the command and the command was relieved in laughter.

Pregules watched the three high-ranking adults in the Kingdom of Dionysia chatting and intimate. They couldn't help but be envious.

Melisanda met and explained: "The three adults, Anthony, Alexis and Capus, fought side by side with the mercenaries when they were young, and also assisted His Majesty's smooth withdrawal from Persia. They have been there for decades. 'S friendship!"

Pregules glanced at him and asked in blunt Greek: "I heard that your father is also their comrade in arms?"

"It's the adoptive father!" Melisanda solemnly corrected, he didn't want others to think he had the status that he had today by virtue of his father's relationship.

At this time, Alexis's hand was pointed at the two of them: "This is Pregules, the head of the Fourth Cavalry Corps."

"You don't need to introduce you, Pregules, I am familiar with it. I appointed him as the head of the cavalry regiment!" Antonios said with a smile, after all, he had served as the Minister of Military Affairs.Then he claimed to praise again: "However, Ledes has always praised you Pregules and always said, "There is a great figure out of the cavalry". I still don't believe it. But now it seems that he did not Lie, you led the Fourth Cavalry Corps, won the battle of Askurom alone, and repulsed the army of tens of thousands of Monet, amazing! Amazing!"
