Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 801 Arrangements after the war

After the Fourth Army of Olivers collapsed the city wall, he did not think carefully, did not investigate, and did not control the soldiers under his control, so that they rushed into the gap, and was trapped under the city, resulting in burns. Very many, the casualties are extremely heavy.

As for the Second Corps of Matonis, as Davis was behind him, he almost watched the whole battle process with his own eyes. He knew clearly that although the Second Corps had the best siege equipment, the Romans also assembled Since the heavy soldiers were defending the area he was attacking, Davis had little resentment against Matonis.

In these years of war, Davos rarely uttered such heavy words, and several heads of the regiment bowed their heads in shame.

Daveus didn't look at them again, slowed his tone, and said to Stacey Kidas: "What difficulties do you have in treating soldiers?"

"Too many wounded soldiers, we do not have enough manpower to take care of."

"Tormid, you are responsible for recruiting soldiers from the various legions, let them obey the command of Stacey Kidas, assist the medical camp, and rescue your comrades."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, we also need a lot of spacious and clean rooms for the wounded soldiers to recuperate and recover."

"This is easy to handle." Daveus thought for a while, and said, "I heard that many Roman nobles fled to the Capitolin Hill. You are responsible for leading out their houses, Trotila, with their troops. To the medical camp."

"Yes, your majesty."

Stacey Kadas hesitated and said, "And... Your Majesty, I hope to be able to treat the wounded Roman people." The parents of the doctor, although the two sides are hostile, but in the eyes of the doctor are only patients.

Davies smiled slightly and said comfortably: "If you don't say this, I will let you do the same."

Davers once again focused his attention on the heads of the legions: "Now let's clarify the positions of the legions in the city of Rome."

The heads of the various legions immediately leaned forward and looked at the map of Rome on the wooden table.

"The First Army and the Second Army are camping in the square." Davers pointed to the map and said, "The Fourth Army is camping in the arena, the Sixth Army is camping in the southeast corner of the city, and the Fifth Army is camping in the southwest corner of the city. Three Legions—"

Daveus paused and looked at Lizaru: "You still live in the original camp, and you have to include the river beach where the third fleet of the warship was parked, and continue to improve the defense of the camp. Compared with other legions, You have to work harder, but you have to understand that it is very important that you are guarding the material transportation base of the entire army! You must watch carefully and carefully, and you will not get any problems!"

"Leave it to our Third Army, your majesty, rest assured!" Lizzaru said loudly.

Daveus nodded and looked around the heads of the legions: "Everyone understands where your legions are stationed, any difficulties are mentioned."

Several army commanders looked at the map and all said they had no opinion. Only Georgris appeared embarrassed.Daveus looked in his eyes and immediately said, "Georgis, you have nothing to say."

Geogris said carefully: "Your Majesty, the southwest corner of the city is full of messy houses, there is not enough space for the Fifth Legion to camp, and the garbage is everywhere, the smell is bad, and it is not conducive to the rest of the soldiers... The open space near the arena Quite a lot, see if I can let the Fifth Legion also camp here in the arena."

After listening to it, Daveus looked at the map. The slums were not marked on the southwest corner of Rome. However, he believed that Georgris said that after all, they were close officers.

"Yes!" Daphes immediately followed Georgis' advice and asked the head of the Sixth Army: "Trotras, is it difficult for your Sixth Army to camp in the southeast corner?"

"Your Majesty, I observed when I got to the city. There was enough open space, and there was no problem with camping."

After talking about the infantry corps, Daveus looked at the head of the cavalry corps again: "The camps of the two cavalry corps are on the north side of Mount Silio, on the south side of the square. There is a big market there, and now the Romans don’t need it. Going up, I just saw some corrals and stables in the bazaar just for your cavalry when I entered the city gate."

Neither Ledes nor Kuzius had any opinions.

"Now the battalions of the various legions have been determined. Let's clarify your defense zone." Daveus lit the map and continued: "The wall segments that the various legions attacked at the beginning are the wall segments that you will patrol separately, and the legions are also responsible. The order and security of the city are initially planned as follows. The Fourth and Fifth Legions are in charge of the city south of the arena, the First and Sixth Legions are in charge of the Roman Forum to the city north of Mount Esquili, and the Second Legion and The Fleet Infantry and Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade are responsible for the middle of the city."

Speaking of which, Davers looked at Matonis: "Your Second Corps is responsible for the largest area, but the number of soldiers is the smallest, but you don’t have to worry. According to the information I have obtained, these in the midtown area Most of the residents are Roman nobles, but many of them fled to Mount Capitolin, your task is relatively easy."

"Your Majesty, even if they are still there, our brothers of the Second Army will not have any pressure. They are all old and young women and children. What is terrible!" Matonis said confidently.

"The Third Army is responsible for the northern shore of the Roman Spinal Bridge, while also protecting the port we will build there. As for the two cavalry corps, your task is to tour the city, find anomalies, and notify the corps in the area in charge in a timely manner. Let them solve it. It’s not conducive to cavalry fighting in the urban area. Don’t let our precious cavalry damage here. In addition, the legions should seize the time to improve the defensive sections, lay deer villages outside the city walls, and dig traps... to ensure We no longer need to pay a lot of casualties to easily hold this city that already belongs to us...Oh, yes, the two sections of the wall that your fourth and fifth legions collapsed have to repair it quickly! "

"Your Majesty, our soldiers are already stepping up their repairs." Geogris said immediately.

"Very good!" Daveus nodded to him with satisfaction. Geogris fought without the bravery of Matonis, nor Oliver Duozhi, and even a little timid by nature, but precisely because of timidity, he became Cautious and careful, it can play an important role at certain times.

"Your Majesty, what about us? Where do we live? What is our mission? You will not forget us!" Epitanes asked urgently.

"How could you forget your troops!" Daveus smiled, and then pointed at the mountain-shaped sign next to the west section of the northeast city wall. Shen Sheng said: "I ask you to lead the troops to build the camp and enclose the Capitolin Hill. stand up."

"Isn't it better to attack it directly?!" Epitanius suggested loudly.

"No, we want to keep it." Daveus smiled secretly: "Only in this way can the Roman army outside the city be controlled."

What Daphes said made the regiment leaders thoughtful.

"You all know your mission, who else has a different opinion?"

"No," the generals answered in unison.

"How many captives have we captured?" Daveus turned to ask Tormed.

"Preliminary statistics have more than 21,300 people."

"A lot of people."

"Many are old people, women, children... and slaves." Tolmed reminded.

"Put all the captives over 55 and under 15 years old, and the rest of your legions will be escorted to work... wait--" Daveus suddenly remembered something and said again: "First put these captives The nobility and the common people in the division are distinguished, and the nobles’ diners must also be clear. Nobles and diners, no matter how old or young, should not be released."

"This... we are not familiar with the situation in Rome, and we want to distinguish them clearly, I am afraid it will not be done in a short time." Tolmed looked embarrassed.

"You... take Valx, the Roman slave who just turned us in, let him make a preliminary identification, and you will be responsible for supervision." Davies understands that these people are fighting, but they have not dealt with it. With experience in other government affairs, he is now eager for the veterans and administrative officials in Ostia.

"Understood." Tolmed accepted the order.

"Oropus, the engineering team you organized produced a lot of siege equipment in a short period of time, and made great contributions for us to capture the city of Rome!..." Davers did not hesitate to praise, He also told the military judges that they must record the contributions made by engineers and carpenters as an important basis for rewarding their positions based on merit after the war.

Then he asked again: "I need you to lead all the engineering personnel to build a simple dock as soon as possible on the beach where the Third Fleet parks warships so that our cargo ships can dock and load and unload materials."

Orops was surprised: "Your Majesty, isn't there a river port here! Why do you want to build another one?"

Daveus knew that although Orops was born as a mercenary, he had been obsessed with research and manufacturing equipment for many years, and he did not know much about the current situation, so he patiently explained to him: "The Roman army is coming soon. I am afraid that there are nearly 70,000 people. In the current situation of our army, it is not appropriate to fight against it. For the time being, we can only stick to this Roman city, and the river port is outside the Roman city, and there is no strong wall protection. If you want to hold it But there is a lot of casualties. This is absolutely unnecessary, so I can only ask you! And tomorrow, a large number of people and cargo ships will arrive in Rome, I hope you can speed up the construction of the dock!"

"We will do our best!" Oropus replied in a deep voice. Although he felt a certain amount of pressure, he was still confident that he could build the pier tomorrow. After all, he now has more than 1,000 experienced and skilled engineers. And the craftsmen (including the engineering battalions of the various legions), there is sufficient wood.
