Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The words of Zanteiparis's long-term focus greatly touched the generals of the Campania League. Like Elaos, he immediately thought of the plight of Naples: there were too many people in the city concentrated, the lack of food, the order is uncontrollable, the most What I am afraid of is the worry of the epidemic.

Generals like Herculaneum, Ritrum, etc. are anxiously looking forward to leading the people back to their homes, but their towns are broken, and once the Samonais attack again, they will be hard to defend... Continue to hide in the city of Naples?Not only are the people unbearable, but their civic soldiers may also object.

Zanteipris saw the generals of the Campania League frowning, so he said: "Our soldiers are really tired after a hard fight, but they have some time to rest, but the Samonais coming from afar are not Tired?! From Benevento, they arrived here in a day. I’m afraid they didn’t have much rest on the road. They would only be more tired than our soldiers. They could still run like before when they were fighting. Is it windy?!

Besides, our soldiers have just won the city of Lola, and their confidence has been boosted. The Samonais are worried about Lola and are anxious, so they are not as good as our soldiers in fighting spirit; not to mention, even the reinforcement of the Samonais There are 10,000 people, and our number of soldiers is still more than them. Don’t forget that their team also includes more than 2,000 soldiers from Naconia. The spies of Abenerum have already said that they have already Sending people quietly contacted the leader of the Nakonian army, so these more than 2,000 Nakonian fighters are not an alliance of Samonei reinforcements, but the help given us at a critical time!"

At this point, Zentiparis became emotional, "Everyone, we have so many advantages, we should seize this favorable opportunity in time, take the initiative to meet the enemy, defeat them, and drive them out completely. Out of the Campania Plain, let the people of the Campania League have peace and tranquility!"

The words of Zantiparis made most of the generals surging and suspicious.

But there were also objections: "Can you believe the words of the Abenerum?" The Samone and the Campania have fought for decades, and both sides regard them as dead enemies. How can they easily believe.

Zantiparis had not answered yet, and Elalos preemptively said: "The Abenirums assisted General Alexis in defeating Samone's army in the mountains and are still besieging Beneventum, why not Trustworthy! Abenerum is an alliance of Dionysian and of course our friends! The same is true of the Naconians. Don’t forget, we can also win the city of Lola and have their credit!"

In fact, it is not that the people of Nakonia have not clashed with the Campanias in Lola, but that the officials of Enona separated their work as much as possible to reduce contact, such as: all the work of repairing the tree trunks and digging the soil Give the people of Nakonia, do not let them participate in the construction of earthen mountains, and let them rest in the Nakonia territory further south at night. Of course, there is another reason to prevent the Lola defenders from seeing the Nakonia and Dionia communicated closely so as not to bring disadvantage to the Enona fighters who were still in the Samonei coalition.

The general stopped talking.

Ai Luosi looked at Zantiparis and asked solemnly: "If you lead the army to greet the reinforcements of Samone as you said, can we win?"

Zantiparis also solemnly answered: "As long as we fight hard, we can win!"

Elalos’s previous concern was that once the Allied forces were defeated, the slow-moving Campania heavy infantry could hardly escape the Chamonix’s pursuit. By then, the situation of the Campania League would become even worse than before. bad.

However, the Dionysian army fought twice on the Campania plains, he personally participated in the assistance, and was impressed by Dionysian strong military capabilities, so this Zanteiparis certainly gave him confidence, So he confronted the generals of the Campalian League and said aloud: "Everyone, with the full help of the Dionysian Allies, we will definitely be able to defeat the Samonais! Don't hesitate anymore, and immediately call for soldiers, Out of town to meet the enemies and drive them out of the Campania Plain!"

No one objected this time.

………………………………………

When the Dionysian Allied Forces formed an array outside Lola City early in the morning, Lola’s garrison felt bad. They let a small team dive out of the city, and after paying a lot of casualties, they entered the hilly area in the southeast. Mountain, escaped the siege, and rushed to Benevento for help.At noon, exactly at the entrance of the mountain road leading to Beneventum in Kautim, I met the army of Segowani's repatriation.

Segowani learned that the city of Lola was in danger, and he did not hesitate to issue the command of "accelerating the advance of the whole army".

In this way, Cavutini's army came out of the mountains and entered the territory of Cavutim. They did not enter the city to rest, but continued to march forward, crossing the wider pass between the mountains and reaching Abella (abella) ).Here, with the 1,300 soldiers sent by Cesar, the total strength reached more than 9,000, which is already the largest force that the Cautini tribe can send today.

The army walked out of the pass, into the Campania plains, around the mountains, and turned south, straight to the city of Lola.

Although the road from Kautim to Lola was all flat, the one-day march still exhausted the well-run and energetic Samonei people. Many tribal leaders asked Segowani: let the soldiers rest for a bit.

But he was rejected by Segowani. In the descriptions of several Lorraine messengers, he has realized the determination of the Dionysian-Campania coalition to capture Lorraine. He must go as soon as possible. Reinforcement to prevent this town, which is very important to the Kautini tribe, from being controlled by the Dionysians, because that means that the southern part of the Kautini territory will be cut off, which he cannot allow.

About ten miles from Lola city, Segowani received a return from the spies sent to Lola to investigate: "The enemy's army is coming out of Lola city, coming to us, and there are a lot of soldiers!"

"Are you sure that the enemy came from Lola City??" Segowani's face was unbelievable.

"Large leader, when we were close to Lola... The battle was over, and only a lot of Campanians were seen carrying bodies outside the city... The enemy was indeed out of Lola's north gate, and they were well-dressed, It's not like the battle just ended..." The Scouts of Caoutini said sadly.

Segowani was shocked. Although he led the army in a hurry, he did not think that the Dionysian coalition could capture the city of Lola defended by thousands of Kautini fighters in just a few days, but The development of the situation now exceeds his expectations.

But after only a moment of contemplation, he said cruelly to some overwhelming leaders: “We are not complaining all the time,” If the Campanias did not hide in the city like turtles and dared not fight us, we It has long occupied the entire Campania Plain!'Now the opportunity comes, those timid Campania dare to take the initiative to attack us, they really think that with the help of the Dionysians, they can let them From a group of rabbits to a bad wolf?! They are about the same number as us, they have just ended the siege, so they came just right, we can completely kill them, not only can regain Lola, and the entire Campania There will be no more power to stop us on the plains, and the situation on the whole battlefield will be changed by us Cautini!"

The leaders were stirred up by Segowani and clamored for a fight against the enemy.

Therefore, the command "The whole army stopped advancing, rested on the spot and started to form an array" was executed by the leaders.

Before, Vasunk had been anxious in his heart. He originally thought that the army of Kautini would rest in Kautim after walking the mountain road. He did not expect to go straight to Lola, so he could only quietly He dispatched people to inform other Naconian leaders about the news that the "Naconian tribe has left Segowani's control and is in alliance with Dionia".

Now that I have received the message "To fight with the Campania, the whole army will start to form a line", Vassok is even more anxious, because Segowani also arbitrarily ordered: The army of various tribes in Nakonia must immediately According to the stipulated instructions, dispersed to the designated position in the military formation, must not refuse and delay!

Segowani said that the designated position was to place the army of dozens of tribes of Naconia in the front or rear of the left, center, and right of the entire formation, making them unable to contact each other during the battle. And even less able to collaborate with each other.

In fact, the Naconian army is now a hot potato for Segowani, based on what he had done in his territory and now Dionysian occupation of Naconia (he thinks Naco Niya is occupied by Dionia), if the Nakonian army learned the truth, rebellion is a sure thing.

According to Segowani's idea, it is best to completely dismantle them and force them into the army of other tribes, which of course will provoke the resistance of the Nakonian army.Segowani did not fail to try it at the time. When the coalition of Samonei joined Beneventum, he made this suggestion to several other tribal chiefs. He wanted to suppress the strength of the coalition forces. The resistance of the Konya fighters took the opportunity to break them up.

However, this proposal was opposed by Badani and Contruk, especially Contruk, and he strongly reprimanded this practice. He believed that collusion with foreign enemies was Quinduk’s fault. He and his tribe had already received Punishment, and the other Naconian tribal warriors acted so bravely in the battle (the Naconian army was driven by Segowani, always charged ahead), enough to make up for their past faults, and the tribal leaders It is Samoney's military tradition to lead his tribes into battle, and destroying this tradition will only make other tribes fear.
