Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this time, the commander of the legion came to order: so that the soldiers can temporarily take off their armor, put down their weapons, and then sit on the ground to rest, eat some rations, and restore physical strength.

As soon as the order was issued, the entire four-mile-long formation was like a domino. The soldiers fell down in a blink of an eye, which was spectacular.

Amintas and Lizaru did not dare to be careless at this time. Ledes sent all cavalry to investigate the surrounding movements and the safety of the sanitation formation.

It did not allow the Dionyan army on the coast to wait for long. When the sun was west, the soldiers at the southmost position of the formation cheered first: "Our fleet! Our fleet is coming! The army led by His Majesty is coming." !!!!!!"

In order to carry out this difficult task, the soldiers marched for a long time and penetrated behind the enemy. So yesterday the regimental commander had detailed the plan and purpose of the operation to the team officers. Soldiers, so the soldiers have great enthusiasm to endure fatigue and march for a long distance.So when they saw a black warship in the distance, they immediately thought: Behind the Dionysian fleet must be a huge fleet full of soldiers.

…………………………………

The soldiers guessed right, the Dionysian Third Fleet continued to sail forward, followed by the fleet covered with sea, they turned their bows and drove towards the beach.

Adoris sat in the boat, looking at the beach in the distance, where he could not clearly see the heavily armed legionnaires on the shore, only to see a thick black line on the coast extending indefinitely on both sides, and on the black line There was a flash of golden light in it... Adorís knew it was a military flag shining.

On this troop carrier, the captain directed the helmsman to adjust the course. 50 soldiers sat on both sides of the hull, assisting the sailors to paddle the oars together. In the center of the ship was the captain Timamanras who emphasized the soldiers loudly. Various matters that must be followed after going ashore.

After he finished speaking, he emphasized with a serious expression: "Have you remembered it?!"

"Remember!!" The soldiers responded in unison.

Timamanlas looked at Adorius, and Adoris immediately said aloud: "I remember, squad leader, you can rest assured!" When he remembered the last time he was punished, his butt was in pain, and it was almost a bit He missed the northward battle, so how dare he never obey the order and violate military law.

At this time, it was the period of high tide, and the ship was advancing fast by the tide.It didn’t take long for Adoris to see the soldiers on the coast: most of them sat on the ground, took off their armor, and only wore black linings, drinking water, eating rations, and facing the sea On the sidelines, a few people waved their arms towards the sea, yelling excitedly...

Adorius was seeing God and heard Timamanras shouting, "Ready to go ashore!"

Adorius's mood suddenly became excited. He and his comrades immediately picked up their belongings under their feet, quickly put on armor, hung daggers, rations on their backs, picked up long shields, javelins, and javelins, watching Take the boat close to the white sandy beach, and then the hull suddenly slammed. The smooth bottom of the boat has landed on the land. The helmsman immediately locked the rudder, pulled a long rod from the boat, plunged it back into the sand, and supported it to prevent the boat. Back off.

No order from the team officer was necessary. The soldiers who were ready to jump jumped off the boat, stepped on the cool water, and quickly landed. The team leader Timamanlas quickly assembled the soldiers and then took them. Move closer to other teams...

The seaside was filled with troop carriers, and soon the stretched beach was also filled with soldiers of the Dionysian Legion in black helmets and armor. A pole flag was also raised, and the team leaders led their soldiers. , Looking for the company and brigade to which he belongs, the beach is full of people, full of excitement, but it does not seem very chaotic, because the soldiers carried by this wave of ships on the shore belong to the Second Army, considering that in the entire Dai In addition to the first legion, the second legion is more well-trained and disciplined in the Nyah army, so in this landing, Davis will put the fleet carrying the soldiers of the second legion in the forefront and land first. Complete the assembly as soon as possible to remove obstacles for the succeeding troops.

Subsequently, the docked ships began to evacuate the beach one after another in order to make room for the subsequent fleet to dock.

………………………………………

The commanders of Amintas, Lizaru, Ledes, Cuccias, less than 400 meters from the beach, are also closely watching the landing of the Second Army, watching the troops landing ashore from the beginning The scattered and chaotic, to gather into a small column one by one, then to gather into eight or nine large columns, and finally in the trumpet sound these columns quickly gathered from all over the beach, forming a large square... …

They all breathed a sigh of relief. Although their troops had lined up to protect this landing, after all, such a large-scale landing operation was the first time for even experienced people, and it was still King Davers personally led the team, in case of any accident... Everyone's pressure is still a bit heavy, and now it seems that everything is still going well.

"Martonis is doing a good job!" Amintas praised, and only veteran senior generals like him who had participated in the expedition to Persia would dare to evaluate the commander of the same level in public.

This is a scout riding: "Report the commander of the army, five miles to the south and found a Roman army of about 7,000 people marching towards this side!"

"Report the commander of the army, six or seven miles away from the southeast, there are nearly 8,000 Roman troops coming here!"

"The Romans are finally here!" Lizaru said, his voice full of excitement.

"They came just right!" Amintas glanced at the second wave of ships approaching the coast: "Notify the brothers immediately, ready to fight!"

"Woo! Woo! Woo!..." The bugle sounded, and the resting soldiers quickly began to wear armor under the supervision of the team officers. The second legion lined up on the beach heard the trumpet and immediately speeded up the assembly. speed……

……………………………………

After receiving the return of the reconnaissance ride, Paulus felt extremely uneasy, and his sense of responsibility prompted him to immediately lead 7500 soldiers to the north. After more than two hours of rapid march, the army had reached Lavinim and he slowed down Marching speed, because he knew that Dionysia’s army was not far ahead. The reconnaissance horse he sent was driven off by the enemy horses in the vicinity, and he was also waiting to wait for Satnikum and Victoria. Litre’s army.

This time, the Dionysian cavalry did not obstruct in front, the Roman army marched smoothly, and Paulus, who was riding in front of the team, could already see hundreds of boats floating on the sea, and some were rushing along the tide. Towards the coast, while others leave the coast and paddle to the far sea. The denseness of the ships completely covers the blue water...

Paulus was anxious again, and the reconnaissance dispatched at this time quickly returned: "Report the general, the enemy is arrayed two miles away, the number is not less than 20,000!"

Paulus was shocked: There were not so many people in the Dionysian army in Walsey. Did they already have some soldiers landing from the sea and joined the team?!

Thinking of this, Paulus was even more anxious and regretted that he had arrived late, but he did not dare to immediately lead the troops with fewer than 10,000 people to attack, and ordered the troops to stop advancing and start to line up on the spot.

It didn’t take long for Satnikum’s troops to arrive, and the leader of the army would also be the city’s guard, Megeus, whose full name was Megeus. San Pronius Aslio. This was a year A veteran who was over 50, was born in the Prophet of St. Pronius, and once stayed at the Capitoli after the Celtics occupied the Roman city. The Senate sent him to serve as the guard of Satnikum. Fancy he has rich experience in war and tough character.

At this moment, he was always steady, struggling to swiftly gallop to the horse in front of Paulus, and asked anxiously, "Where is Dionysia's army?! How many people are there?"

Paulus pointed in front of his finger and said: "The fleet of Dionysia is making a large landing on the coast ahead, and their troops in Walsey have also arranged a lineup in front to protect their landing. According to the return of the reconnaissance ride, they There are about 20,000 people, and you and I know that their reinforcements in Walsey are no more than 10,000, so..."

Meijius looked at the busy Diorian fleet in the distance, and his face was gloomy, and he said: "You and my army add up to less than 20,000 people, and as time goes on, the Dionian soldiers on the shore There will only be more and more, and we will bravely fight against it, and once it fails... The army on the west of Rome that can contain the Dionysians will be greatly weakened, and the situation will become very bad..."

"I think so too." Paulus also worried, and he hesitated to remind: "But... if the Dionysians are allowed to land successfully here, invade our territory and the Latin Confederate territory, poison our people, It even threatens Rome... I am afraid that the Senate and the Roman people will not forgive us!"

Meijius was stunned, and then sighed: "Wait until Pantius comes, discuss it together... before I led the team from Satnikum, I received a notification from his messenger, he will Lead 10,000 soldiers and then arrive."

"Ten thousand soldiers?! He's too bold, what if the Walseys attack Willetray?!" Paulus was shocked, but he then thought about it: Willetley went deeper inland, and again Located in the northeast of Satnikum, not everyone has the courage of Camillus, bypassing Antium and Sutnikum in front, and directly attacking Willetray, not to mention Daioni The armies of the Asians were all in front, and most of the soldiers of Walsey ran to assist the Helnikians, where there was extra force to harass Roman towns.
