Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 742 Venosa Victory

It has been more than a day since the Samone entered the Vinosa area. At this time, the presence of Dionysia's reinforcements is normal, and Leskok urgently asked: "How many people?"

The spy said in shame and angrily: "The Dionysians are the vanguards of the cavalry, they are advancing very fast, and they are still searching and driving us. Several of my teammates... all died under their spears. So... we... don’t know how many enemies there are, but these cavalry are dressed in casual clothes and come in all colors and forms."

The Puchti and Mesapi areas are rich in cavalry, and Lesguk is of course clear, and once envied him, but since it is not a unified black standard equipment, it seems that this is a temporarily formed force in the Puchti area. Such a short time It is impossible to assemble a huge army.

With this judgment, he turned to look at Contruc.

Contruc pulled his beard and said without hesitation: "The 4,000 soldiers we have been resting on can finally fight to kill the enemy, and these brave young men will kill them easily!"

The guards who were ordered immediately rushed to inform the troops that were not involved in the siege but were specifically used to intercept the reinforcements.

The roar of Leskok sounded again: "To urge the leaders of all ministries to increase their siege, we must capture Vinosa before the arrival of Dionysian reinforcements!"

More than ten minutes later, Lesguk looked over to the front of the city and raised a quaint flag of Samonei, overjoyed.

At this moment, the spies ran in panic: "Big Chief! Big Chief! Not good! A lot of Dionysian soldiers in black armor came from the south! The number of troops we went to intercept was too small, already fast Can't resist it!"

"It's impossible! There can't be a regular army of Dionysians here!!" Leishuk roared incredulously.

The answer to Leskok's question was the increasingly noisy noise coming from the south: "The army of Dionysia is coming! Run away!!!"

Behind the panic-stricken Samonei was a turbulent black tide, accompanied by the sound of "rumbling" footsteps and the shouting of the sky, he was violently pressing toward Vinosa.

"Quick!...Retreat quickly!...Retreat!!..." Contruc had lost the stiffness of his previous speech, and also looked pale, and his voice suddenly became hoarse.

……………………………………

Adoris had thrown away the obscure long shield and bayonet, only holding a short sword, so he ran quickly, and he rushed to the front of the team.After participating in the last Dawn War, he was also considered a veteran, and he would no longer feel the discomfort of seeing corpses and blood, and some would only be the excitement of defeating the enemy.His only regret was that the Samonais who blocked them were too weak. Only the two sides shot each other with a javelin, and the Samonais chose to retreat before they had started the battle.

In fact, this is related to the impressive charge of the Dionysian army, because this support army consists of a huge team of more than 16,000 people composed of the second and fourth legions, plus the second and fourth cavalry legions The about 1,000 reserve cavalry were not only blocked by the 4,000 Samoin warriors responsible for the rescue.

Cynthia's judgment is correct, even if you stay in the Second Army, you can get a battle.Adolius now only hates that he is running too slowly to catch up with the enemies running like rabbits, but completely forgets that he is the squad leader. At this time, his primary task is to gather his soldiers and maintain the squad formation. , Don't let them run apart.

He struggled to catch up in the front, but did not see how worried he was in the heart of the team leader behind him. He was afraid that he might have an accident in the battle. He urged the other teams to quickly catch up with Adoris, don’t let him be alone Encounter an enemy.

After a while, I saw that the cavalrymen rushed into the squadron from the side and front, and immediately disrupted the orderly retreat formation of the Samonei. The squadrons scattered as the cavalrymen slammed their spears. Fleeing, even some headless flies, turned around and hit the direction of the Dionysian forces.

Adores was overjoyed and strode forward, thrusting the dagger in his hand.

With a scream, one fell first.Then he punched out with a left, just hit the other Samone's crushed soldier's face, when he was about to knock over the ground.

With a short sword, he continued to meet the third defeated soldier, but his left foot was hugged by the fallen Samonei soldier, unable to move.

As he stooped down to use his dagger to solve the enemy on the ground, the enemy in front was carrying a spear and rushed toward him fiercely.

At that moment, his brain was blank, and he felt the breath of hell.

But the roar of the enemy came to an abrupt halt, and a flying javelin plunged deeply into his unprotected chest.

Subsequently, the captain rushed to Adorius's side and scolded angrily: "Until the enemy is not truly defeated, any soldiers and team officers must not leave the large army without permission... This is the "Military Law"! Adores, you do not listen to my orders, abandon your men, go ahead alone, violate the military law, and wait for the battle to end, go back and accept the judge and punishment of the military judge!"

The captain finished his breath and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he did not expect that after Adoras was rescued, his cold sweat had calmed him down. He responded in a regular way: "Yes!"

The captain was relieved and patted his shoulder vigorously, saying: "Lead your soldiers, continue fighting, chase the enemy!"

"Yes!" Adores and comrades rushed into the panicked enemy like a wolf entering the flock.

This is just a corner of the battlefield.

From the entire battlefield, part of the Dionysian army is chasing the Samonei soldiers who retreated before, the other part of the Dionysian army is quickly rushing to the Samones who are retreating from the city of Vinosa, and there are some The soldiers followed the reserve cavalry and chased the Samona who retreated earlier.

Of course, these Samonians included two tribal chiefs. They were leading the troops and retreating towards the northwest mountains. They knew that as long as they fled into the mountains, they were safe, just like the previous Askurum battle. Same time.

But not long after, they stopped involuntarily, because an array of thousands of cavalry, light armour, and light infantry was lying in front of them.

"We were duped by the Dionysians, and they had already laid the nets here!" At this moment, Lesguk's confidence was hurt, and he only felt soft all over his mind, all of which were more than ten years ago. The scene of that fiasco.

Contruk was old and strong, but in the face of this dilemma, he expressed his fighting spirit: "The sons and daughters of Savoni, fight with the Dionysians!"

The warrior in a critical situation screamed and rushed forward.

The Dionysian soldiers in front shouted the name of Hades and rushed to the same bravely.

Just as the two sides strangled together, the chasing Dionysian army quickly arrived and joined the battle group.

Suddenly, the Samoan army suffered a back-and-forth attack...

………………………………………

"...Your Majesty, there is news from Vinosa-" Herald Aristilas hurried into the palace military meeting room.

"How's the situation?" While Davos asked, several ministers of the military department such as Hilos, Philius, and Hironims focused their attention on Aristilas.

"A few days ago, the Samonaite gathered nearly 20,000 soldiers and raided the Vinosa area. Yesterday, just as they were attacking the city of Vinosa with all their strength, the Second and Fourth Legions arrived in time. Noosa carried out a raid south. At the same time, the light cavalry and light infantry brigades of the 2nd Cavalry Corps and the 9th and 10th Corps also crossed the Ovanto River and circled the mountains behind the Samone side , Cut off their return, the Samone’s army was completely defeated. According to the report of the battle report, this raid killed about 2,500 Samones, captured more than 6,000 people, and we were only killed and injured nearly a thousand. People..." Aristilas, who had always been calm, shuddered when he repeated the report.

After he finished, he handed the battle report to Daveus respectfully.

"This is another glorious victory!" Felixius exclaimed excitedly: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of your wit and determination that you firmly support Alexis' bold guesses. Great victory!"

"This victory is mainly due to the correct judgment of Alexis!" Daveus said humbly.

It turned out that after achieving victory in the battle of Askurum, Alexis also mentioned that while the Dawn area had preparedness, the Samone might transfer the raid. The goal is to carry out a raid on the Vinoza area northwest of Puceti. He will organize a reserve force in the Puceti area and enter the city of Vinoza for defense.At the same time, make preparations at any time. Once there is an abnormal situation, immediately send troops to reinforce them, attack them back and forth, and then have an Askurum-style victory.

After carefully reviewing the plan of Alexis, Davers proposed a further idea: that he should not send troops to Vinosa in advance to avoid disturbing the enemy.At the same time, he will let the Second Army and the Fourth Army gather quickly, secretly stationed in the central town of Sylvium in Puchti, while the troops in the Dawn area should not move to the Vinosa area in order to confuse the enemy. .

This plan has been fully implemented after being perfected by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

In fact, the cunning Samone sent nearly 10,000 soldiers the day before yesterday to break into the northwest border of the Dawney region in order to attract the Dionysian army to go north and away from the Puchti region.Alexis led the large army north as he wished, so that the Samonians finally made up their minds and dispatched an army to attack Vinosha the day before yesterday. As a result, the prepared Dionysian army stood by.
