Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 802: Arrangements After the War (Continued)

"Your Majesty." At this time, Midolades said with some anxiety: "When the Roman army arrives, we will stick to the city of Rome, then the banks of the Tiber to Ostia may be controlled by the Romans. Slaves can’t pull fiber for our cargo ship. Without the tracker, the ship can’t reach the city of Rome from Ostia alone, unless it encounters a strong east wind. In this way, the Roman city’s access to the city is equivalent to being cut off and become a Lonely City."

Midolades's words surprised the generals.

Daveus said with a smile: "I have also considered this issue, but don't worry, you can let the tracker pull the fiber on the north bank of the Tiber.

"North Shore?"

"According to previous information, the Tiber section from Rome to Ostia is deep and wide, and it is impossible to walk at all. On such a long section, the Romans built only two bridges, one was The Shiba Bridge where the Third Army is stationed, there is also a wooden bridge (actually two bridges) built on the river heart island, but it has been destroyed by the Romans. I guess the reason why there are so few bridges is because the Romans Former enemies with the Etruscans prevented them from easily crossing the Tiber River and invading the territory of Rome, and the coast here was controlled by our fleet. The Roman army could not easily reach the north shore temporarily, threatening to pull for us Boat tracker.

And in the Roman colonies on the north bank of the Tiber and the Etruscan allies, their reinforcements have been defeated by us before, and many of them have also been captured--" Daveus glanced at Lizaru with approval and said, " Next, we will take some actions on the city-states on the north bank to sweep away Roman forces on the north bank of the Tiber and ensure the safety of the waterway."

The generals are a little invigorated. After all, no general likes to be passively beaten. Daveus’s words seem to imply some military action on the north bank of the Tiber.

"Your Majesty, I have read the information in the Latium area. It seems that there is a pontoon connecting the banks of the Tiber in the city of Fidena." At this time, Prentals reminded softly.

Upon hearing this, Daveus nodded approvingly: "Yes, Fidena has a pontoon, but the bridge deck is narrow, which is not conducive to the passage of the army. I have made Scout Rider follow the movement of the Fidena pontoon day and night. When an enemy situation arises, you will immediately send a brigade to the north bank of the pontoon to stop the enemy from crossing the river. If the Roman army is dispatched, then Oliver your fourth legion must gather first and rush there, but I think Cami Luce will not make such a foolish mistake, let his army hedgehog gather on the narrow pontoon for our slaughter."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Lizaru and Olivers responded in unison.

Midolades also felt relieved and immediately said, "Your Majesty, when can our third fleet leave Rome and return to the sea?"

The warships that stretched across the sea came to the river, just like the Longyou Shoal, there is no use.In his heart, as a naval commander, Midolad was reluctant to let the fleet become a subsidiary of the Army, but only played a supporting role in the entire battle.

Davers clearly understood his thoughts and said: "Today's battle, the crew of the fleet have also made a great contribution, and they must also be very tired. Tonight, take a good rest in the camp to restore strength. Tomorrow morning, you You can lead the fleet out of Rome to ensure the maritime safety of the army. However, to leave five clippers, and the 2000 fleet infantry."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Midolades responded without hesitation.

Daveus then asked him again: "From Ostia to Trina, will it take three or four days?"

"If it's a tailwind, it will be a day or two."

"Your Third Fleet is at the naval base of Trina, but there are enough personnel." Daveus looked at him, Shen Sheng said: "I allow the Third Fleet to recruit another 2,000 Fleet Infantry to participate in this battle with Rome, Carthage's war."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Midolades's face was delighted, and he stood up and offered a powerful military salute to Daveus.

It should be understood that the formation of each legion and each fleet is fixed. The head of the regiment and the fleet commander are never allowed to expand the army under their own control. This right is only in the hands of the king. If someone violates it, once it is discovered, according to the military law, it will not only Sentenced may even be deprived of Dionysia citizenship.Of course, the regiment commanders and regional commanders who were at the battlefield during the war had the right to summon citizens of the area to join the war, but these temporary troops had to be disbanded after the war ended, so several regiment commanders voted for Midolades Envy eyes.

"The river port outside the city can't be kept, and the granaries can't be kept." Daveus turned to ask Tolmed: "All the food outside the city has been brought in?"

"The squadron is stepping up transport."

"Where do you store the grain in the city?" Daveus asked again.

"Here." Tolmed pointed to a hill on the south side of the square on the map: "Palatine Hill, the terrain here is relatively low, and there are wide and flat roads, more empty courtyards and ready-made granaries, It is convenient for us to store food, and we can find a lot of leftover food from these houses."

"The hill is inhabited by the descendants of the colonists who built the city here with the first king of Rome. Now they are all nobles. This hill is the closest to the Capitolin. I am afraid most of the people on the hill have escaped. Capitoline Mountain." According to the information of the previous Roman city, Daves actually guessed the situation of the residents on the Palatine Hill after the city was broken. At the same time, Tolmid also reminded him: "Tor Mead, you sent people to take troops to collect all the food stored in the nobles’ houses in Rome as military food."

"Just a nobleman?" Tolmed was a little surprised.

"Yes, only aristocrats! If they don’t go to Capitolin, leave them with a small amount of food, enough food for ten days. However, don’t sneak into civilian houses, let alone take their food and belongings, if I Knowing that someone has violated will be severely punished!" Daveus looked around the crowd and said harshly.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the soldiers have strictly followed your ban since entering the city..."

"Okay, guys, you all have cleared your mission, so hurry up and carry it out." Daveus stood up and said passionately: "The Roman army is on the way, I am afraid that it will be able to arrive tomorrow We must be fully prepared before it arrives, defeat them and expand our victories! Let this land be completely owned by the Kingdom of Dionia!"

The generals were full of fighting spirit towards Daveus after completing the military salute and striding away.

Stacey Kadas and Orops left with the same spirit and excitement.

After the crowd left, Daphes stopped Prentals.

"Your Majesty, the First Army has suffered a lot of casualties, and I have a responsibility..." Pringles wanted to admit his guilt.

Davers waved his hand and said, "I understand the situation. This is not your fault. Don't take the responsibility on yourself."

Relax in Princeton.

"Now give you a task." Davies said solemnly: "You take a few staff officers and 100 court guards to check all the noble residences in the city and collect gold and silver and other valuable things. And register it. This drought almost consumed the treasury, and these goods were transported back, which can alleviate the domestic embarrassment."

Prentals immediately expressed his understanding, he thought for a while and said, "Do those temples need to move?"

In a city-state, the temple is the richest, because the people respect God and fear God, and always dedicate the best things to God, hoping to receive his blessing and blessing.In addition to the temples of several major deities on the Capitolin Hill, Roman cities also have temples in other urban areas.

"Don't do it for the time being!" Davers still had some concerns about this.

No need for him to explain more, Prentals seemed to have understood, readily accepted the order, and turned away.

Daveus looked at the empty meeting place, and then relaxed temporarily. He looked at the map on the wooden table for a while, and then decided to go to the medical camp to visit the wounded soldiers.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Senate, he ran into Klotokatax head-on.

"Father!" Although Kloto Kataks looked tired, he was a little more energetic.

Of course, Davies knew the reason: in the late stage of the battle to block Roman reinforcements, his son cut down two enemies and overcome the discomfort of the first murder, and then followed the army to break through the city of Rome and pursue the defeated defenders Then, together with other soldiers, clean up the plagued squares with many wounded, bloodied and messy places.

Davers is satisfied with his son's performance on the battlefield for the first time, but apparently he is now in a state of excitement like a child getting a new toy and needs to cool down in a timely manner, so Davies said quietly : "Go out with me."

"Where to go?"

Henipolis, who followed, said quite meaningfully: "Wounded Barracks!"

……………………………………

Quintus and Frius each led 3,000 soldiers, and began to speed up their return to Rome yesterday evening, but they were not fully prepared. They did lack the experience of marching at night, and soon encountered some difficulties, such as soldiers being injured and scattered. There was a riot in the team... As the night worsened, the situation became more and more difficult to control. Quintus and Frius did not dare to hurry up and had to crowd the soldiers in the barracks along the river to rest.

The next morning, the army set off early again.

But it didn’t take long for them to encounter trouble again. Although they were not attacked by the indigenous people, the road along the river was either damaged or blocked by wood or stones, which forced the army to stop and clear the road... Stop and go in this way, and finally walked out of the Tullerus Valley at dusk and arrived in the city of Priest.
