Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At the same time, the administrative officials of Enona effectively managed a large team of more than 20,000 seniors, teenagers, and even women into several groups.Some people sorted down the cut trees, lifted them down, and placed them in the places where the military engineers planned to build the earth hills; another part piled up these woods in a crisscross manner, and gradually extended upwards toward the city walls; In addition, there was a group of people who carried a basket of soil and dug it into a base made of wood and tamped it.

The Lola defender saw the enemy making such a big movement on the south wall. While shocked, he was a little curious, but soon they found that a mound about 50 meters wide in front of them was uplifting. And quickly approached the city head, and the entire Muzha moved with it.

The Lola garrison did not launch a long-range attack on the enemy who was making mounds under the city, but their javelins and arrows were either blocked by the wooden fence or blocked by the heavy infantry behind the wooden fence with a shield, although there were also a few people He was injured and fell to the ground, but did not scare the coalition people. Both the Campanias and the Naconians were deeply poisoned by the Samones, and they hated it, and the people of Enona assisted in the battle. It will be recorded by the household registration official, which will greatly help the future development of the family in the kingdom, so they have invested in this project with great enthusiasm.

The Lola defender was forced to take out the city and attacked several times, wanting to destroy the wooden fence and the mound, but they were all repulsed by the army with the precautionary Zantiparis. The defender suffered considerable damage.

Lola's defenders could only watch the mounds getting closer and higher, not only approaching the trench, but also its highest height was almost flush with the city head.

Zantiparis no longer needs Mucha, but sent more than a thousand Dionysian heavy infantry and light infantry to stand on the hill and shoot at a distance of more than ten meters from the defenders.

Although both sides suffered a lot of casualties, the Lola garrison, which had only one tenth of the other soldiers, could not bear the cost. They had to send messengers to the chieftain Segowani for emergency assistance many times.

Regarding the decision made by Zantiparis to "strike Lola City today", the general of the Campania League, E'Alos, hesitated. He said: "The earth hill we built is not close to the city wall. It’s not too hasty, should I wait another day?"

Zantiparis patiently explained to him: "Our Majesty Daphes once said to the senior officers of the Kingdom of Dionysia, he said,'Don't take offense when fighting against powerful enemies Seeking a decisive battle, we must carefully look for fighter planes, but once we have won an important victory or the enemy has exposed obvious flaws, we must attack continuously and quickly without giving the enemy a breathing opportunity to completely disrupt the entire deployment of the enemy... …',

Now that the main force of the Samonei coalition is attracted to Beneventum, Lola and Cesara only have more than 1,000 enemies stationed. They thought they could defend for a long time with this number of people, but they obviously underestimated us Daio Leah’s siege ability, we should quickly attack Lola City before they have responded, so that the whole battle is more beneficial to us.

In addition, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.So far we have been blessed by the gods. The weather has been pretty good for the past few days. It looks like a sunny day today, but if there is a sudden heavy rain tomorrow, it is very likely that our earth and mountains will be washed away, leaving the soldiers and the people a few The hard work of the day is all in vain, and the key is also delaying the fighter, so we should take advantage of Hades while still blessing us and seize the time to attack!… Well, also… According to our usual siege training experience, when Tushan is approaching the city wall and it is also the most difficult time, the enemy’s defense will only be more stringent. In order to speed up the progress and reduce the casualties of the people, we We must rely on the violent attack to force them to reduce the attack on the Tushan, so that our siege can be completed faster..."

Zantiparis's serious explanation convinced the generals of the Campania League. Everyone agreed to launch an attack on Lola City today, and the next step is to discuss the plan of the attack.

In this regard, Zantiparis had long considered: "Lola’s southern wall is where the hills are and is the focus of the offensive. I suggest to use a heavy infantry brigade and a light infantry brigade in My Dionia, plus you Kampa Of the 1,000 light infantry and 1,000 heavy infantry in Niah, a total of 4,000 are focused on attacking here!"

Elos nodded and said, "I agree with General Zantiparis that these two thousand Campania soldiers were sent by us in Naples."

Zantiparis continued: "I suggest that the siege equipment produced in the past few days are used to attack the wall of Lorasi. Since our Dionysian soldiers can skillfully use these equipment, the The heavy infantry brigade served as the main attack, and an additional 1,000 Campania soldiers were added as auxiliary... The east and north walls also arranged 2000 soldiers to attack the city with long ladders, so as to disperse the Lola city. Enemy, weakening their defensive capabilities... In the end, there is still a Dionysian light infantry brigade and 1,000 Campania soldiers. I suggest as a reserve team to serve as the final raid."

As soon as the words of Zantiparis were finished, Elalos said, "I think General Zantiparis's plan is good. Naples is willing to send 1,000 soldiers to attack the west wall, and another 1,000 Naples soldiers attack the north. The remaining 1,000 Naples soldiers are reserved for the reserve team as General Zantiparis said, and the remaining soldiers will be filled by the soldiers of your city-state."Earlos said with respect when he spoke to Zantiparis. And he spoke to the other generals of the Campania allies, with a tone of command.

Zantiparis suddenly realized that Naples was the leader of the Campania League. As a military general, he did not consider too much. Instead, he felt that he had ruled these Campania city-state generals and province. He went to talk a lot and saved a lot of time.

Once the plan is confirmed, it will be implemented immediately.

The first soldiers to act were coalition soldiers outside the city of Lola South.This is because the people are ready, they are carrying sacks full of soil, ready to complete the final closing of the mountain and the city wall, of course, this is also the most difficult time.

It is said to be Tushan. In fact, it is a large sloping causeway. According to the design of Dionysia engineers, its initial slope is only about 20 degrees, which is relatively gentle. It extends from 40 meters away to the city wall. The bracket, with rammed earth as flesh and blood, many soldiers stepped on it, neither easy to slip nor collapse.

More than 200 Dionysian heavy infantry took a long shield on each left and right hand, and ascended into the mountain with two columns, heading towards the city wall.

The defending soldiers immediately launched a long-range attack on them, mainly a javelin.

The double-sided shields of the Dionysian soldiers protect themselves strictly, but even so, there are still soldiers who are injured by javelins penetrating the long shield, and behind them there are new heavy infantry forwards filling the gaps of the array.

And the light infantry who were behind the heavy infantry of Dionia also attacked the city. They not only throwing javelins, but also throwing arrows. After all, the defenders in the city are not as thick as the heavy infantry of Dionysia. Although they also have some soldiers wearing armor, at least half of them are light infantry, and the bow and arrow can kill them.

The heavy infantry reached the top of the mountain, squatted down halfway, and erected long double-sided shields to form a closely-arranged shield wall whose height was almost flush with the opposite wall, and the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters. The attack was naturally more violent, and the Dionysian light infantry's counterattack was also violent, because they must suppress the attack of the city head and protect the safety of their comrades.

Within a distance of ten meters, the javelins and arrows continued to cross each other, dense enough to meet in the air from time to time.The screams continued from both sides, and soldiers were injured and fell to the ground.

On both sides of the Tushan, 1,000 Campania light infantry, by the time the defender's attention was attracted by the Tushan, quickly approached the trench and launched an attack on the enemy at the head of the city to relieve the pressure of the friendly forces on the Tushan .

At this time, the people carrying the soil bags lined up in a row, bent down and bowed their heads, ran to the top of the mountain quickly, risking being hit by the javelin and arrow.

Each Dionysian heavy infantry and heavy infantry and light infantry and light infantry on the top of the mountain have a large gap between them, forming a passageway that can reach the mountain directly.When the people reach the shield wall, the heavy infantry on both sides will raise the long shields of both hands a little, and there is a certain gap below, just for the people to push the soil bag down the mountain, and then the empty-handed people return to run down the mountain.

Countless earth bags continued to fall into the "valley" formed between the city walls and the earth hill. Occasionally injured Dionysian soldiers and Lola garrison fell into the valley, too late to climb out, and soon was soil bag Buried, it became a cornerstone of this man-made earth mountain.

Not only did the people go up and down on the Tushan, the Dionysian light infantry and heavy infantry also continued to rotate due to physical strength, injury and the addition of javelin arrows, and below the Tushan was the medical battalion that quickly gave the injured people Emergency rescue with soldiers.

Such a busy but relatively orderly and tense scene was reflected in the eyes of the general of Naples, the general of Naples, and he could not help but sigh: The Dionysians turned the tragic siege into a well-ordered 3. A lively and efficient construction project. This is not something any Greek city-state can do. The military capabilities of the Kingdom of Dionys are terrible!
