Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The horror of the Dionysian army made them finally realize that once Rome was completely destroyed, then Dionysian could completely free up his hands and concentrate on Carthage!And now the Senate is still in a quarrel, wasting precious time in vain!

So they gathered together and strongly called on the senate: they should immediately send a large army while Diona’s main force was still in Latium, landed in Sicily, defeated Dionysia’s army, and completely occupied Sicily, thereby gaining the advantage of the entire battle. .

In the context of the excitement, Hanno dared not to obstruct it anymore, and the Senate finally made a decision to "recruit at least 60,000 troops in Carthage and its surrounding areas as soon as possible, and hand it over to Martha Lead" the decision.

And Marco, who is far away in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, is also aware of the urgency of the war situation, and is also stepping up to convene and form new troops.

…………………………………

In fact, Tapirus did not need to urge the Walsi and the Helnikians, and they had already begun to take action after the Roman army left the Tullerus Valley.

The tribes of Helniki who had previously fled into the mountains gathered and began to attack the Roman soldiers in the occupied area. Their focus was on the city of Vrentirum.The former central town of the Helnikians was built in the mountains, which caused great difficulties for the Romans to siege. In order to quickly end the war in Helniki, Camillus had to go from Rome and A large number of young and middle-aged citizens were withdrawn from the Allies, which led to the defense emptiness of the city of Rome and the surrounding area. Only then did Daphes seize this favorable opportunity, which eventually caused a reversal of the overall situation in the Latium region.

The army commanded by Camillus was in a hurry to retreat, but considering the difficulty of capturing the city of Ventirum and the importance of its position, 2,000 Roman soldiers were left.

However, before the Roman army attacked the city many times, the battle was very fierce, resulting in the ruins of the walls of this city.The left-behind Roman soldiers hadn't had time to repair, and the Helnikian attack had already arrived.

Most of them used the cover of mountains and trees at night and early morning to approach the city wall, even sneaked into the city quietly and suddenly launched an attack.As soon as the Romans assembled their troops to fight with them, they immediately fled the city.The Roman army, who was not good at fighting in the mountains, followed the chase and was ambushed by the Helnikians.

After having suffered several losses, the Romans could only stick to the city, but the Helniki attacks were not reduced. Although the casualties caused to the Romans each time were not large, they caused a great deal of psychology to the Roman soldiers. The pressure prevents them from getting enough rest.

After the Roman defenders continued to defend, the Helnikians shifted the focus of the attack to the Roman squadron that delivered material to the city of Ventirum.Due to the fact that the main force of Rome had already evacuated the area, there were not many troops left behind, and there was not enough troops to protect them. As a result, the squadron was repeatedly attacked by the Helnikians and could not be delivered to the city of Vrentirum.

The declining food, the lack of replenishment of weapons, and the Roman defenders who were constantly under attack by the Helnikians lost their confidence in the lack of reinforcements on the day when the Roman army was forced to disband , The Roman defenders also chose to evacuate the city of Vrentirum.

After starting to retreat, the Roman soldiers found that not only was the city of Venturium attacked by the Helnikians, other occupied Helniki towns were also attacked to varying degrees, especially those along the The small military barracks built by the river, due to its low military strength and weak defense, have become the target of the Helnikians' key attacks.

The Roman army had seen several burned barracks during the retreat, and other surviving barracks and garrisons in neighboring towns were joined into the retreat.

The army retreated northwards, and finally retreated to the city of Siegnia, close to the tolerium of the Latin Confederacy, and abandoned most of the Helniki lands that were finally occupied.

……………………………………

The Walseys started to gather soldiers after the Dionysian army attacked the Roman city and the Roman army stationed in the southwest to rescue. They wanted to retake the territory occupied by the Romans, but with the Helnikians. Encountered differently, Rome has colonized the three towns that originally belonged to the Walsi and their surrounding territories, Antium, Satnikum, and Villetre, and the Roman people who have just become new residents will naturally Fully resist.

After many wars and severely weakened, the Walseys can only concentrate more than 6,000 soldiers and lack siege tools. Several attacks on Antium City were repelled and unable to retake their own towns After learning that the Roman army was stationed in Satnikum again, he had to retreat.

Therefore, when seeing Tapirus, the top executives of Walsey asked for the strong support of Allian Dionysia.

Tapirus made a promise to them: as long as Walsey collaborates fully according to the plan of His Majesty King Davos, Dionia will definitely help Walsey regain all his territory.

As a result, the Walseys followed Tapirus’s advice and changed their offensive strategy. They no longer attacked the territory of Antium and Satnikum, but moved their main force away from Antiu. Astur, who was very close, retreated to Setia and waited for the opportunity.

………………………………………

Gabi, the most important Latin city-state in the eastern region of Latium, is located about 30 miles southeast of Rome, not far from the west bank of the Arrio River, a tributary of the Tiber.A few decades ago, it became an ally of Rome, never betrayed, but this time its loyalty to Rome was tested.

As a messenger of Dionysia, Publius came to Gabi, hoping that he would be able to break away from the Latin alliance in Rome and form an alliance with the Kingdom of Dionysia.

The Gabi’s Senate debated the matter for a day, and finally, because Dionia’s disposition of the Roman nobles worried the Gabi nobles, he rejected Dionys’s request and drove out Publius. At the same time, the city sent people to the west to seek help from Camillus.

Sure enough, on the second day, the army of Dionia appeared under the city of Gabi, still under the command of Prentals, still under the jurisdiction of the Second Corps, the Sixth Corps, and the Lucania Reserve Corps The brigade, the Roman reserve brigade, the 1st Cavalry Corps, and a 500-person engineering team totaled more than 30,000 people.

The Gabi closed four doors, and all young and middle-aged citizens in the city were wearing armor and spears, and went to the head of the city, preparing to resist the siege of the Dionysians.

However, Pringles did not immediately order the attack, but ordered the soldiers to start building the camp.

……………………………………

In the early hours of the next morning, the 12,000 Roman soldiers led by Camulus, who had received the news, hurried to Tustron.

Tustron is north of Lake Albalonga, on the edge of Tustron Mountain, about 40 miles south of the city of Rome. Since the city of Albalonga was destroyed by Rome, it has become Latin The most important big city in the middle of the region.

Most of the Latin city-states and tribes in the eastern, central and western parts of the Latin region responded to Camillus's call because of their cold teeth, and they sent troops to gather in Tustron, thus increasing the strength of Camilus's hands. To 21,000 people.

In the Roman camp outside the city of Tustron, Roman generals were gathering in the large tent to discuss the current battle situation and the next military plan.

At this time, the Roman dictator Camillus had a different image than he had when he broke ferentinum. His face was sallow, his skin was loose and slumped, and his entire body was leaning on a wooden chair, standing on both sides of the wooden chair. With a slave, ready to support him at any time.

He closed his eyes and listened to the report on the enemy’s situation: “The Dionysian army has been building camps these days, and has not attacked the city of Gabi, but they are bombarding the walls of Gabi with ballistas... Gabies A messenger was sent again to ask us for help..."

"Master Dictator, the Dionysian army has not attacked the city for several days, but has been building camps, and the camps are built on the west side of Gabi city, which is obviously to prepare us." Mejus Shen Sheng said.

"We led our troops to settle in Tustron, the momentum was too great, and the Dionysians could not have been concealed. It is normal for them to be prepared. According to the report of the reconnaissance ride, the Dionysian army outside the city of Gabi has Tens of thousands of people, and we must also pay attention to the Dionysian army in the city of Rome—"

Before Lixinius finished his words, I heard Quintus shouting angrily: "Because there are so many people in Dionysian, because they do not attack the city, we will not attack, or even retreat?! Lisinius, are you afraid?! You should not stay here, but like the Roman civilians, surrender to the Dionysians—"

"Enough, Quintus, pay attention to your words! Lord Dictator reminds us again and again that we are now in a difficult position and we must unite closely to defeat the Dionysians and recapture Rome!" Olus reminded loudly Road.

Quintus snorted and stared at Lisinius without speaking.

Lisinius simply turned around and looked out of the account.

At this time, Camillus opened his eyes, and compared with his feeble voice, his eyes were much more divine: "I sent someone to notify the left-behind army in Siegnia to join us here, How is it going?"

"...They are already on their way." Lucius said tremblingly.

The withdrawal of the Roman soldiers who stayed in Sigonia meant that the victory of the previous conquest of Helniki was all vanquished, and the generals on the scene looked sad when they heard this.
