Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Giogris brought four heavy infantry brigades and one light infantry brigade. He let 4000 heavy infantry quickly form a curved defensive line in the gap of the city wall, just like a tough fishing net will rush into the gap of Rome The soldiers are holding around.

As more and more Roman soldiers rushed into the defensive circle, the space was squeezed, and the number of people became more dense, which was conducive to the attack of the defenders at the head of the city.

Especially when a jar of tar was smashed down, many Roman soldiers struggled in the flames. The tragic phenomenon of the gap in the west wall of Rome was reproduced again a day ago, but this time the roles were reversed.

Coupled with the powerful attack of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion on the front, the Roman soldiers with chaotic organization and extreme fatigue were finally overwhelmed by fear, and they were defeated.

After receiving the urgent news from his men, Titus gave the order to retreat even if he was extremely unwilling and painful in his heart, so as to avoid being counterattacked by the enemy along the city wall, which would lead to heavier losses.

In fact, after the soldiers of the Fifth Legion broke out of the city wall and continued to pursue them, they were counterattacked by the Etruscan coalition forces lined up.

Although intercepted, the Etruscan soldiers did not attack much, and did not kill the Fifth Legion soldiers. After receiving the news, the cautious Gioclis immediately ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, because the night The situation outside the city is unknown. He is afraid of encountering the ambush of the Romans again, especially the prince Croto Kataks in the team. Although this valuable young man is very sensible, he has always followed orders and always fights behind the team. , Did not cause trouble to Geogris, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case, finally Geogris withdrew the pursued troops back to the city.

Not long after Ostia’s battle ended, the following morning ushered in, the city hall of Rome held a public rally in the square on the proposal of Daphes.

Daphes commended the brave acts of Roman civilian soldiers led by Sectus who broke away from the Roman army and surrendered to Dionysia, especially the use of more points for rewards, which inspired the people to join The enthusiasm of Dionysia, who wanted to contribute to Dionysia, of course, also deepened the noble family's resentment towards the Roman civilians.

During the rally, Daphes received a report from the defender at the head of the city: There was a movement in the Roman barracks outside the city, and there seemed to be signs of pulling out the camp.

Although the movement of the Roman army outside the city was a major concern for Davos, he believed that accelerating the return of civilians in the Roman city was more important, so he still insisted that the rally be completed before he rushed to the south.

It was already noon. Most of the camps built by the Roman army yesterday were demolished, and almost no one was seen walking around.

According to reports from the soldiers: Throughout the morning, there was constant noise in the camp ahead, and even the sound of fighting came out.

According to the news returned by the scout: the Roman army was splitting into several paths and slowly marching west.

Several heads of troops such as Amintas and Matonis demanded that they should send troops to pursue the enemy while the enemy was retreating and panicking, and even forced the enemy to promote guild wars.

After careful consideration, Davers did not adopt this proposal, because he did not think Camillus would negligently carelessly when the army retreated, and he did not want to let the various legions that had just experienced the war to face the battle even if they had been separated. The Roman army with less troops and a greater weakening of its strength, after all, the Romans, as mourning soldiers, are very likely to explode into a powerful fighting force, causing great losses to the Dionysian army.

However, Daveus recruited the new Roman reserve team captain, Sextus, and asked him to pick good Roman soldiers, ride the horses collected from the city, and follow the cavalry corps out of the city to perform special missions.

After issuing this order, Davos needed to urgently convene a military meeting to discuss with Tornid, Prentals, and the regimental commander the "major reinforcement of Ostia", because the march from the Roman army From the direction, their goal is undoubtedly the small town at the mouth of the Tiber River.

At the same time, not far west of the city of Rome, two cavalry regiments caught up with the marching Roman army. They lured more than 1,000 Roman cavalry responsible for flanking, and then Sixtus led a dozen Civilians eager to make new achievements rushed near the Roman army.

Then, the Roman soldiers were surprised to see these enemies wearing Roman soldier costumes. They rode to within a range of twenty or thirty meters from them, and then began to shout: "Citizens of Rome, I am Sextus (I Yes###), once a Roman civilian, but now has joined the Kingdom of Dionysia, why should they join them?! Because the Kingdom of Dionysia allocated me more and better Roman land, more luxurious and spacious Dwellings have more equal rights, and these originally belonged to the Roman aristocracy, and now belong to us!

Civilians and soldiers, don't hesitate to leave this army of hopelessness and join us!Join Dionysia!You will get everything you desire before!You will also be successfully reunited with your family!Don't hesitate!Leave quickly..."

Sextus and their shouts caused waves among the Roman soldiers...

………………………………………

In the Aberylum leader’s mansion, Gellny sat in the living room. He looked calm, but without the worries of the previous few days, his eyes were staring at the door.

It didn't take long for several of the men he trusted to come one after another.

"I have decided to send the messengers to the Hillpini tribes in other areas in accordance with the requirements of the Dionysian messengers!"

Hearing this, everyone else understood that Gellney said that he was a messenger. In fact, he sent people to sneak into other areas of Hilpini to spread the accusation that "Lesguk dared to tear up the covenant and arbitrarily disregarded the faith. The war against Dionia caused heavy losses to the tribes and demanded that they be punished for this”, while preaching that “the leader of Ghani of Abenerum could help the tribes to redeem them from Dionysia The captive people."

After all, according to the decision of the previous meeting of the Hippini Tribal Alliance, Abenirum has been excluded from the tribal alliance, and any Hippini tribe is prohibited from interacting with them.

"Great, leader! We've been waiting for you to make this decision!" Tatoni shouted excitedly: "We have suffocated enough during this time, Cautini, Pentney, Karacheni Tribes frequently sent messengers to warn us not to mess up during the war! I shit, now it’s time for these guys who oppress us to taste the anger of the Abeney Roma!"

"Chief, we really shouldn't wait quietly for the war to end. Although the priestly group of Samone also sent a few times to say,'As long as we support Lesguk, past mistakes will no longer be investigated'. However, Everyone knows that, as long as they win in this war, without the obstruction of the Dionysians, Leskouk will definitely use force against us! For our safety, we must seize the present favorable opportunity and give them the first blow "Maioni also expressed support for Guerney's decision.

"Of course I understand Lesguk's conspiracy and our current sinister situation." Galney sighed. "The reason why he hesitated before was to consider that if we did this, we might not only have war with Lesguk, And it will worsen the relationship with other tribes and the priest group, causing greater war."

Tatoni shouted again: "Do we have any relationship with other tribes and priest groups now?! Boss, do you remember that at the tribal ritual conference a few years ago, you were almost united by them to demand sanctions! If In the event of a war, it would be possible to wipe them all out, and... then you will be our leader... we are the first great leader of the entire Samone!"

As soon as this word came out, everyone's face changed in the living room.

Gellney glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense! With our power, even defeating Lesguk is difficult, let alone other tribes. All we have to do now is to help Dionia , In return for Dionia’s help to us all along!" To be honest, Guerney envyed Tatoni’s straightforwardness in his work, which was very handsome in his youth, but since he became the leader, after many setbacks, he has For the better survival of the people, there are many issues to be considered, and it is impossible to do whatever you want.

Guerny's eyes swept across everyone's face in the hall, and they all showed a kind of exuberance after being suppressed. He took a deep breath and said aloud: "Since you all agree with me, then we will The relationship between Abenerum and Dionia needs to be reconsidered, and you all know that King Daveus suggested to me a few years ago,'Let Abenerum be a free city like Potentia 'At that time I did not agree.

And now, if we implement Dionysia's plan, it means that we have to be an enemy of Beneventum and other Samone tribes. This will be an extremely difficult war!We need the full support of Dionysia in order to win, so I decided to let Abenerum join Dionysia and become a free city in this kingdom!"

As he spoke, the hall became silent.

This exacerbated Guerney’s worries, he coughed dryly, and said again, "If you disagree--"

"Ha! Ha! Ha!..." Tatoni laughed: "Boss, you finally made this decision, and we are all at ease! When I participated in the football finals of Dionia last year, and The jella players in our game also asked me strangely,'You Abenirum and Potentia are the free cities of Dionysia. Why can Potentia players speak Greek, but most of you do not Will?' Now some city-states and forces regard us as part of Dionysia, and envy us, but this often embarrasses us, because we are not, and now we can finally rest assured!"
