Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Your Majesty, our Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade has been doing the most difficult training for the past ten years, just for this day! You can rest assured that even if it rains heavily, the river will skyrocket, we will definitely succeed!" Yi Zam finally revealed his true colors , Said proudly.

"Very well, this is the Izam I know!" Davers smiled: "When the operation is successful, don't forget to send someone to notify me immediately."

"Yes!"

At this time, Davers looked around the heads of the legions and asked, "After reading the city of Rome, what do you all think?"

"Your Majesty, although the walls of Rome are ugly, but when you walk down this circle, I feel that its length is not short, and the area of ​​the city is also large..." Olivers said here, Daveus added: "According to the information now available It shows that the walls of Rome are about 14 miles long. It is known as the city of the Seven Hills. There are seven low-lying hills in the city, so its actual urban area is larger than we feel."

"In order to conquer Helniki, the Romans took away all their young and middle-aged citizens to go out to fight. Now there should not be many Roman soldiers who can fight in this city, but the defense of such a long wall will make them insufficient. The shortcomings are exposed..."

Olivers said, and Matonis interjected: "I just came along all the way. I have noticed that the quality of the soldiers in the city is not good. Ledes, can you send a cavalry to try it out?"

Seeing Daveus nod and acquiesce, Lades immediately dispatched a cavalry squad. When they quickly approached the city wall within 50 meters diagonally, there was a commotion in the soldiers on the city head, and soon a javelin and arrow were shot down. , But the fast-moving cavalry squad detached from the attacked area.

It is impossible for a cavalry to attack the city, not to mention that this person will not have any threat to the wall. Roman soldiers can respond calmly without having to attack in such a hurry, wasting their javelin arrows.The heads of combat-experienced legions saw a light smile on their faces.

"Your Majesty, the reason why you let our several legions attack the walls of the Roman city at the same time, instead of concentrating your forces, focuses on attacking one or two places, so that the Romans have to temporarily recruit them and have little combat power. The soldiers spread out, making their defenses weaker, and we can break through the city of Rome faster and easier!" Matonis finished, glancing with pride at Olivers.

Oliver scolded, and Matonis said what he wanted to say, but he hadn't finished.

"However, when we attack the city of Rome tomorrow, the Roman colonial city and allies that have received the news will definitely send reinforcements!" Geogris reminded with a little concern: "Especially in the attack on the Helniki Rome The army and the western Roman army that we just defeated yesterday, if they arrived during our siege—"

"Yesterday, the Roman army in the west suffered heavy losses. The pursuit of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps took a lot of their defeats. The soldiers of our regiment were ordered to cut the hands and feet of the captured Romans. Many people, this does not include those killed and wounded by the Romans in battle and those who died in the fleeing, so they will no longer be dangerous to us at one and a half times." Lizaru said affirmatively: "As for the Roman army in the northeast --"

"Their strength is indeed huge, but according to previous information, their camp is more than 100 miles away, and the road is uneven. The normal march has at least three or four days of travel. By then, we had already occupied the city of Rome!" Trotila said loudly.

"Don't underestimate the enemy!" Daveus solemnly reminded: "The Roman dictator Camulus is not a simple character. He has participated in countless battles, has rich combat experience, and has also commanded many battles. Suffered from failure—"Here, he saw Amintas pouting his lips, but he soon frowned again, apparently thinking of the last fight with Camillus to make the First Army Suffered great losses.

"Therefore, we cannot judge the army led by Camiros in the usual way... two days!" Daveus groaned for a while, extended two fingers, and said solemnly: "We must return the Roman army Half of the time, it is judged that Camillus will return in two days, so you only have one day to siege, and you must take the city of Rome tomorrow!" The last sentence, Daveus said powerfully. .

The heads of the legion felt the pressure when they heard this.

"The Scouting Squads and Mountain Scouting Squads of the various legions are temporarily under my direct command. I will send them out to investigate the movements around Rome throughout the day. If there are any abnormalities, report them to me at any time. The First Cavalry Corps, the Second Cavalry The cavalry of the legion stayed in the camp, rejuvenated, regained their horsepower, and were ready to attack at any time. And you--" Daveus stared at Amintas, Matonis, Lizaru, Oliver in front of him , Six commanders of Giogris and Trotiras, Shen Sheng said: "Go back quickly and command your army soldiers, build your camp as soon as possible according to the location specified just now, this camp should not only allow soldiers We have a rest in peace, and we must ensure that we have a certain defensive ability. At the same time, carefully prepare for tomorrow’s siege, each of you is responsible for attacking a section of the wall, I want to take a good look at who will break through Rome’s defense tomorrow, Break into the city!"

Hearing these words, the heads of the legions glanced at each other, and they all felt competing.

"But you also have to pay attention, don't patronize the attack, let the soldiers suffer too many casualties, because the capture of the city of Rome is only the beginning, the real war is still behind!"

The last words of Daphes awoke the heads of the legions, and then they hurried back to their legions. Daves led the court guard and the two cavalry legions slowly back.

Daveus looked at the sky and asked, "Has Epitanis already led the team?"

"According to the plan, he should have set off this morning and should be on the road now." Tolmed replied.

Davers remembered another question, and he said with a little expectation: "I hope that the Walseys and the Helnikians can follow the plan and help us get some more time."

Tolmed felt faintly at the moment that this always-invincible commander-in-chief Dionysia felt a little nervous. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he kept silent.

………………………………………

When Milusius left this morning, he felt a bit heavy. Although he was not a veteran, he was unable to attend the meeting of the senate for yesterday, but the father who returned home told him about it, and there was a small dispute between them. , Admiring Camillus, he was dissatisfied with his clan uncle Maru Guinnessis taking advantage of the dictator’s expedition and directing other elders to do small moves behind his back, but he still took over the task assigned by the elders, because He felt that the execution of this order by himself was always less than the control of Camulus by letting others go.

However, not long after his departure, he received a new order from the Senate. Although the original order that made him dissatisfied had been cancelled, he was not at all happy at this moment, and he was shocked in his heart: the army of Dionysia Marching towards Rome!I heard that the Dionysian army landed on the coast last night, and today we are going to attack the city of Rome?!

The speed of the Dionysian army's actions was completely beyond the expectation of Milusius, and the sense of crisis forced him to speed up again and again.

After Priest, past sagnia, although the road ahead is getting more and more uneven, Milusius does not slow down as much as possible.

At this moment, a ride came in front of the rider. The rider hugged the horse's neck tightly. When he saw them, he didn't avoid it, but hit him head-on.

The soldiers accompanying the team hurried up to intercept, and the frightened horse threw a man. Because the man was wearing Roman costumes and a javelin was inserted in the back, the injury was so serious that Milusius had to step forward to check.

The man woke up in his groan, and saw Milusius, and immediately said: I am... I am Lord Nutitius of Portitus... in front... there is an ambush in front of the Helniki... ...We were attacked...be careful..."

Milutus didn't have to think about it, he knew why the slaves of Portitus appeared here. He hurriedly asked, "How many enemies?"

"At least seven or eighty people..."

"There are so many people?!" Milusius was taken aback, glanced back at the ten soldiers who followed him.Or turn around and move the rescuers?

After just thinking for a while, he made a decision: immediately turn around and go to Sigonia!

It is not that he is greedy for life and fear of death, but that he believes that his mission is related to the survival of the city of Rome. There must be no slightness, and Siegnia is not far away, and can not delay much time.

………………………………………

In fact, the Dionysian legions arrived outside the city of Rome and had already gone to the area where their legions should be in accordance with the plan negotiated last night.The engineers of the various legions have already set up a plan for the construction of the entire camp in accordance with the plan set up by Daveus last night, and compared with the drawings of the city of Rome. Now they need to visit the field to amend and confirm the plan.

Soon, a new camp construction plan came out.

So they took the army battalion engineering battalions to measure and mark the land outside the city of Rome according to this camp plan: Where did the trench begin to be dug?How deep should I dig?Where is the earth barrier built?How high does it need to be?The location of the camp gate?The location of the sentry tower?… Of course, there are special regulations for the construction of the Dionysian field camp. After many trials and corrections, it will not change much. The soldiers have passed countless military trainings. So, when the head of the legion came back and gave the garrison task to the lower-level team officer, the soldiers were in full swing.
