Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Only then did Davos watch his son's back out of the big account with worried eyes. He stood there for a moment, but when he turned around, he saw some young staff members show envious expressions. Tao: "Who else wants to go to battle?"

"I!"

"I!"

"And I!"

Several young people hurriedly said.

Daveus waved his hand: "Hurry up and fight, fight!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" These young staff officers happily rushed out of the account.

Daveus smiled and encouraged the staff who remained in the accounts: "These little guys, they are too young to understand that this is the brain of our entire army. Our efforts will determine the success or failure of the entire battle! So guys, to win this victory, let us continue to work!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The restless hearts of the staff were comforted by Davis for the time being.

"Your name is Kronissus, Amendolara, from the First Legion?" Daveus pointed to one of the young men and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, your memory is so good!" The young man was pleasantly surprised.

"You are responsible for receiving war reports and enemy situations for me, and reporting to me in a timely and accurate manner!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your name is Irithesius, from Castron, from the Second Army, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You are responsible for marking the map."

"Yes!"

"Your name is Asinaros, Crotone, from the Fourth Army?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You are responsible for recording and communicating my orders."

"Ok!"

"And you...you...you..." Daveus accurately called the names of several other staff, and saw them all flattered, and said with a smile: "You are responsible for recording and analyzing the situation, If you find an exception or have any suggestions, please feel free to ask me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

The staff who caused the commotion due to the departure of Tolmed and Klotokatax restarted their tense and meticulous military work, and even they worked harder than before.

Daphes looked at them busy, his mind fluctuated a little.

At this time, Henripolis, who did not know when to go out, walked into the big tent again and came to Daphes, whispering: "Maltius sent 30 court guards to protect the safety of Croto."

Daveus glanced at him, and his heart was completely settled. He lightly tapped the map with his hand, and then said aloud: Asinarus, you immediately let the heralds to inform the engineering camp and the heavy battalion in this big camp. ... wait for all the auxiliary personnel to immediately transfer to the second legion and stand by!"

"Yes!" Asinarus stepped out of the account.

Although, Davers boldly deployed four teams stationed in the camp to participate in the battle, but it is indeed an adventure. Only two teams remain to stay in the camp. Even if the fighting strength is strong, it cannot completely defend such a large camp, so The transfer order issued by Davers was for insurance purposes, especially those engineers and skilled craftsmen whom he treasured could not suffer any harm.

Then, Daphes issued another order: "Eretius, you check the latest news about Epitanes, confirm his position again, and then calculate his approximate position based on his marching speed. "

"Yes!"

Tolmeide had a big headache and felt a little headache. This was certainly not because he was about to command a force of nearly 10,000 troops. Although he had never commanded a force of more than a thousand men before, he was after all He has decades of experience in the military career, and since he joined Dionysia and entered the General Staff Office of the Military Department, he has been working hard to improve himself: in-depth understanding of Dionysia’s past battles, familiarity and thoroughness of Dioni Asia’s military system and tactical tactics, and further efforts to envision future military reforms and development...Tormid admits that he is inferior to Prentals in military talent, but he thinks he is also worthy of the position of staff officer. .

What he was worried about was Kroto Katax beside him. Although Daveus did not say "Let him take care of his son", if he let everyone know that he would inherit the Daveus throne in the future Dangerous, injured, or... he doesn't think he will have a better life in Dionysia in the future.

By the time the 30 court guards rushed to Klotokatax, Tolmed had an idea. He said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, this time he went to intercept the enemy, which is related to the success of our entire battle. , Is related to the life and death of the whole army, so it is very important! You are not a member of other teams, have not been trained with them, and there is no tacit understanding of the battle, so I will not rank you at the forefront of the formation, but put After the battle, once the front line can't resist the enemy's attack, or the enemy wraps around from the wing, I will let you lead the court guard to rush to block their attack and win time for other troops!"

Although Crotocatax is very young, he has been taught by Davos for a long time. He is not upset, and he knows that his sudden joining makes Tormide a little worried, and that Tormide makes sense. , So he nodded and responded immediately: "Observe the order, Master Commander!"

In the past, Tolmed had little contact with Crotocatax, and he did not understand it. Seeing this young man was so sympathetic, he was relieved, and at the same time, he had a great affection for His Royal Highness.

A group of people went straight out of the northwest gate of the camp, and soon the sound of a "rumbling" horseshoe sounded... The two cavalry regiments rushed in quickly after receiving instructions.

"Tor... Lord Commander, the 1st (2nd) Cavalry Corps was ordered to arrive!"

Tolmed looked at Lydes, who usually talked and laughed together, and glanced at Kuchius next to him. At this time, instead of laughing and joking, he said seriously: "The two commanders, A 8,000-strong reinforcement from Rome is coming from the west. Your Majesty let us go to stop it, and never let the enemy disturb our siege plan! Please rectify your troops first, and wait for other troops to arrive and start together ."

The two regiment commanders echoed, although they both saw Croto Kataks beside Tolmed, they were surprised, but instead of asking, they turned around and ordered the officers to gather and gather cavalry.

After a while, four infantry brigades arrived one after another.

Crotocatax sees that there is a chief of Adoris among the captains who came to report, and he can't help but feel happy: I heard my father say "father and son soldiers" before. Brother fight together!

But on such occasions, Crotocatax certainly can't go to search for Adoris again.

After the team gathered, Tolmed immediately led the team and they rushed to the west of the southwest corner of the Roman city wall, and the two garrison brigades of the Fourth Army, notified by the herders, also arrived quickly. Now Tor There are six infantry brigades in the army led by Mead, four of which are heavy infantry brigades and two light armour brigades. After all, light armour defensives are weak, and frontal attacks are more disadvantageous. Stay in the camp.

Knowing from the mouth of the scout that the enemy was still a mile away, Tolmeide breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Chinese military camp of Dionynia occupied a large area. The Romans detoured from the outside. He led the troops directly to the inside, although It was after the departure, but it was still ahead.

Tolmed immediately began to lay out the lineup: he put each heavy infantry brigade of the 4th Corps, 5th Corps and 6th Corps on the left, center and right of the front of the lineup, the 4th Corps and the 6th Corps Another brigade is in the rear, the brigade of the second legion is in the rear of the middle road, and the first and second cavalry legions are on the left and right wings. The length of the entire center formation will be lengthened or shortened according to the situation of the enemy formation. .

Tolmed arranged a simple formation, but for such a tens of thousands of troops put together in a hurry, the simpler the formation, the better the battle.

The infantry and cavalry quickly began to form under the command of the team officers. Croto Kataks and the court guards were located at the last column of the second corps. During the formation, he saw Adoris Adoris was also surprised that his brother appeared here, but the brothers just met a little, and soon followed the instructions to go to where they should stand.

Dionysia’s formation was just lined up, and he saw that the Roman army had appeared in the distance. Instead of waiting for the Roman army to come, Tolmed directly ordered the whole army to move forward.

Yesterday Paulus and Meguis led the army all the way to the east. After passing Satnikum and Willetray, they entered the Alba Lake area at dusk. They stopped the advance and let the army stationed while shooting spies. In the case of the Dionysians, on the one hand, Mejus led people to visit all the villages and towns in the area overnight, hoping that the fellow Latins in this area could support them, fight the invaders, and rescue Rome.

On the second day, a lot of Latin warriors came one after another in the Alba area. According to Paulus' statistics, there were 3,000 people. It is worthy of the earliest conquest of the Latin area by Rome and the closest relationship with Rome. This is the best that the Latins in Alba can do.

The Roman reinforcements, whose number increased to more than 8,000, caused the two generals to disagree.

Paulus believes that according to various sources, the Dionysians are already attacking the city with all their strength, and Rome is in danger. They should take advantage of the Dionysians to throw most of the soldiers into the siege, but Without breaking the city, launching a fierce attack on the Dionysians from the back can certainly defeat the enemy's offensive and save Rome!
