Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After summoning Publius, Davers immediately convened another military meeting. After deliberation with the generals, he determined the strategy of attacking the Latium region "first in the east and then in the west, in a combination of talk and talk".

The city of Fidena is located on the upper bank of the Tiber River, only about 13 miles away from the city of Rome, but it is a town established by the Etruscans. It is small in size but spans the banks of the Tiber River.During the gradual rise of Rome, it was the main bridge for the Etruscans to set foot on the south bank of the Tiber.In particular, the city of Vie is very close to Fidena, and it was used to invade Rome.

To this end, for decades, the Romans and lovers repeatedly competed for this small city.In the end, the Romans turned Fidena into its colony, and made it a forward base for Rome to attack Viagra. At this point, Viagra was gradually on the defensive and eventually occupied by Rome.

As the Roman colonial city of Fidene was too close to the city of Rome, most of its fertile land along the river was classified under Rome, making this small city more inhabited than ever before.

When Rome was conquered by the Dionysians, the Roman people living in Fidena were terrified, but for a few days, there was no movement in the city of Rome, and Camillus led the army to return, which made the Fidenes Sighed with relief.But soon the Roman army moved westward, and it didn't take long for Viece to suddenly fall, which caused the Fidenes to startle again.

A few days later, the Etruscan-Roman colonial coalition arrived, which also included the return of citizens who had been recruited before Fidena.Just after the people were relieved, the Allied forces crossing the river suffered a fiasco. The people of Fidena witnessed the brigade of the Dionysian cavalry along the river bank and chased down the fleeing Roman soldiers. Kneeling and surrendering, some of them jumped directly into the Tiber River and were swallowed by the river in a flash...

Although the winning Dionysian army did not take advantage of the attack on Fideina, and the surroundings of the city of Fidena returned to calm in the next few days, the Fidenes who were frightened by the tragic phenomena of that day no longer thought they were It is safe, and many people strongly call for escape from this dangerous place, to the Latin Confederacy to the south, or to the west to find Camulus.

But the hometown is hard to leave. People in the city argued for several days and still couldn't make a decision.

In the early morning of this day, the sleepy Fidena sentry boarded the city head, and they were suddenly stunned: in the distance, the smoke was rolling, and the black crowd was coming towards Fidena...

"The enemy is coming!!! The Dionysians are coming!!!!!" The alarm bell in the city sounded, and the people panicked.

………………………………………

The morning after the military conference ended, Davis sent a large army to attack Fidena.

The majority of the Third Army and the Roman Reserve advanced east along the north bank of the Taipo River. The Fourth Army, the Sixth Army, the Lucania Reserve Army, the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, the First Cavalry Corps, and a 500-person team The engineering team, traveling east along the south bank of the Tiber River, a total of more than 30,000 people, attacked the city of Fiendina from both sides.

The reason why Davers used such a large force to attack a small city with less than a thousand soldiers in the city, he did not care whether he used a sabre to kill chickens, but he wanted to use a rapid offensive to defeat more enemies in a short time and deter the Latin city-state. To create a more favorable situation for yourself.

In order to stabilize the order in the city of Rome, as in the last time, Davis did not lead the army in person, but he appointed the temporary commander, but this person was selected beyond the expectations of the generals-the Chief of Staff of the Military Department Prino Als.

When announcing the candidates, since the First Army did not play, the third army commander, Lizaru, had a good relationship with Prentals. Only the second army commander, Matonis, objected: "Printos has never I have personally commanded military operations and have no experience as a commander..."

However, under Davis's perseverance, Matonis, who was accustomed to obey Davies' orders, had no choice but to accept it.

30,000 people attacked a small city with less than 1,000 defenders, and the location of the small city was flat, so it seemed an easy task to capture it.

But this is not the case, because Fidena has evolved into a small military fortress as a strategic point for the battle between Rome and Victoria for decades. In the plan of attack, the troops must take down the city as soon as possible, and can not form a long stalemate.

In order to repay the trust of King Dapheus and to prove himself, Prientes decided to take a similar approach to His Majesty Dapheus's capture of Rome after he carefully studied the situation of the city of Fidena and the surrounding terrain. Tactics: He asked the engineering team to transform multiple pack cars, carrying five clippers, carried by many pack animals and a lot of labor, by road, avoiding the attention of the defenders, bypassing the city of Fiendina, Came to the low level of the upper bank of the Tiber...

Faced with the persuasion of the Dionysians, the Fidena had neither agreed nor opposed, only saying that they had to consider.

How could Prentals allow the opponent to delay the time, he immediately issued a siege order.

With an order, the Dionysian army launched a strong attack from the south and north to the city of Fiedina.

Just as the Fideina defenders fought against the Dionyan soldiers, the more than 200 mountain scouts were fully armed, rowing five clippers, rushing down from the upstream, and passing the city of Fidena. He was stopped by the pontoon across the river and nearly broke the pontoon.

The upstream of the Tiber River that is east of Fidena is not only unable to cross, but it is also very difficult to drive a raft. In addition to the riverside towns that are further east of Fidena, except for Crustuerium, which is Rome Outside the colonial city, the rest are all Sabine territories.This mountain race has never seen the sea, nor can it make ships, and even most of the people can’t swim. Therefore, the Fidians have never been attacked by the enemy from the upper Tiber River, but they never dreamed that, The Dionysians are whimsical and spend a lot of manpower to transport the ship from the land to the upper Tiber River, so they are completely unprepared.

When the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade climbed the pontoon one after another and began to kill the city of Fideina, the panicked Fideina talent hurriedly squeezed out less than a hundred soldiers from the city and hurried to the bridge to intercept it.

When they arrived, some of the soldiers of the raid mountain detection team had already stepped on the land of Nancheng. They immediately launched a violent attack on the Philippine soldiers who had arrived in a hurry, and rushed the Philippine soldiers who tried to form an array. .

And in the melee, how could the Filipina civic soldiers be opponents of the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade that had been hard-trained all year round. Not long after they were defeated, Nancheng was attacked.

Soon, the lonely North City also surrendered.

The Dionysian army occupied the whole city of Fidena only in the afternoon, from the attack to the end, which lasted less than four hours. Printors’ commanding ability was initially recognized by the generals and soldiers.

The Dionysian army used to occupy Rome, but now has access to the upper Tiber River, which completely cut off the Romans' connection with the north bank of the Tiber River.

The Dionysian army took a full day off in Fidina and then headed east the next day. Their goal was Crustuerium, the last colonial city in eastern Rome.

Krustaum was originally a town established by the Sabines, but the complicated relationship with Rome was established shortly after the city was built.

According to rumors, after Romulus established Rome, because his followers were mostly single men, they caused a lot of trouble. In order to solve their marital problems, these energetic men can settle in Rome with peace of mind. Romulus Thinking of a way, he announced to the outside world: to hold a Poseidon Festival celebration, and invite the surrounding forces to come to participate.

Some people of the Sabine tribe believed that they came to Rome with their wives and daughters, but Romulus and his followers robbed the women of the Sabine tribe.

Half a year later, the Sabine who lost their loved ones assembled their forces to attack Rome. When the two sides were about to start a decisive battle, the Sabine women who had become Roman wives appeared. They knelt down and pleaded for a truce.Inspired by affection, the two sides reached a settlement, and Romulus even invited these Sabine tribes to move to Rome, and the two became one.

The town where these Sabine tribes live is Krustaum.

Regardless of whether the legend heard from the Roman population is true or false, it is true that Krustaum became a Roman colony during the Roman rule.Many Latins were moved to this town by the Roman king’s call, but after decades, they joined the Latin American city’s war against Rome. After being defeated, they became Roman colonies again and soon became Romans against Sabine. At the forefront of human invasion, the Romans defeated the Sabines several times.

Less than ten miles from Fidene, Christaum is built on a hill on the edge of the Tiber River, looking eastwards to the narrow riverside flats washed out by the mud and sand of the Tiber River.

Printols led the Dionysian army and quickly arrived under the city of Kristavum, but he did not attack immediately, because then Pbulius who arrived, said he was sure to persuade Kristam People surrender.

Sure enough, less than two hours after Publius entered the city, the Krustaum opened the city gate.

Christaum, who is adjacent to the Sabines, would be difficult to resist the invasion of the Sabines without the support of Rome.Before, the citizens who sent out to join the Roman army ran back and told the people that the “Roman army disintegrated”, causing extreme unrest in the city, and then the Dionysians broke through the adjacent city of Fidene in less than a day. The Cristaum people were frightened, and at this time, they were persuaded by their familiar former Roman veteran Publius to persuade the city. The Cristaum people who were surrounded by the two forces and left alone had to surrender.
