Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this time, the strength of Zantei Paris was reduced to 7,000, but this was also three and a half times that of Segowani.

For two days, Kautini fighters repelled the enemy’s attack, but also paid a lot of casualties. The city of Abella was even more dilapidated, and Segovani had already sprung back, and then received The bad news of "Beneventum fell" abandoned the people of Abella and Cesara in the city that night, and led the army to quietly withdraw to Kautim.

The next day, the people in the city discovered that they were abandoned by Segowani. The few remaining Abella and Cesaras fighters decided to surrender to the coalition forces outside the city, but they hated Naco and were full of losses. Of course, the Ninja fighters resolutely opposed, and Zantiparis refused.Because of adhering to the instructions of Daveus, Abella, as a small town connecting Kautim and Beneventum in the eastern plains of Campania, is too important for its position and must be completely in the hands of the Kingdom of Dionia, In order to avoid troubles in management in the future, Zantiparis felt it was appropriate to directly occupy.

The Dionysian Allied Forces launched an offensive and immediately entered the city, occupying Abella.

The Nakonian fighters escorted the captive Kautini fighters to the corpses of the original Nakonian chiefs and offered them blood sacrifices.

In the east, Alexis only took a day off in Benevento, and simply handled some of the affairs in the city, that is, Pollet divided half of the troops and stationed in the city. The other troops were led by him personally. March west, through the mountain road, to Kautim.

After Zantiparis captured Abella, he also led his team to march eastward, and successfully met with Alexis in Kautim, whose strength was close to 30,000.

The Cavutim defended less than 2,000 people, which caused the tribes in the city to panic. Some leaders joined forces with Segowani to suggest whether they could surrender to the Dionysian coalition in order to protect the people of the city.

Without thinking, Segowani refused.

The unwilling leaders were eagerly arguing with him. Unexpectedly, this angered Segowani, who had become more surly due to repeated defeats. He captured the headed leader, expelled others, and threatened to fight with Dioni The Asian Allied forces fought to the end.

This crazy move caused some tribes to centrifuge, and there were not many people who went out of town that night with the Dionysian Allied Forces.

How could Alexis let go of such a good opportunity and immediately launched a siege on the next day.

Kautim quickly fell and Segowani also died in the city. So far, the two most powerful tribes of the Samonei tribal alliance, Hilpini, were completely conquered, and Kautini was mostly conquered. It is also a matter of time before the remaining single towns such as Kapua and Calatia are difficult to support.

Just when the Dionysian coalition met in Kautim, Kontruk and Badani assembled the maximum strength of the two tribes-5000 soldiers, wanting to attack the Dionysian army in the east Carry out a raid.

However, after taking care of the army, Capps did not continue to go deep into the mountains after occupying Equaum. Instead, while stabilizing the local order, he continued to send reconnaissance teams to explore the surrounding terrain in detail.

As a result, the movements of Samone's army were detected, and he immediately prepared for defense.

The assault of the two tribes of Samone finally turned into a frontal attack. After paying some casualties, he had to choose to retreat.

Subsequently, news of "Beneventum and Kautim's fall" came one after another. After shocking, Kontruk and Badani had to lead their troops and return to the tribal territory in case of the upcoming Dai. Offensive of the Allianz.

"Your Majesty, good news! Zentiparis not only captured Lola, but also defeated the main force of Kautini who came to the rescue!..." Tolmed hurried into the big account, excited Said loudly.

"Oh!" Daveus quickly took over the battle report. After reading it carefully, he immediately smiled and said: "This is indeed good news! Cautini's fiasco, the Naconian people are in submission, and Samonay's victory has been decided. ! Zantiparis made a great contribution! Is this his first independent leader?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Zanteiparis was about to retire from the army before. It was the Ministry of Military Affairs who temporarily called him to Lucania to form a reserve corps. Because the battle of Samone broke out, he led the team to join the Campania’s The war..." Tolmed said it was selfish to be so detailed. He and Zantiparis had a very good relationship. They all came to Great Greece together, so he hoped that Zantiparis, who had been over 60 years old, was in the kingdom. There can also be a good development.

Of course, Davers knew that Tolmed and Zantiparis were better, but he did not care about the hidden thoughts he concealed. Instead, he patted the battle report, half-sighing and half-sadly saying: "Whether capturing Lola, Still defeating the main force of Cautini, Zantiparis has shown excellent military command capabilities! At the beginning, he should not be allowed to be a prosecutor of the military department, wasting these years in vain! My understanding of them is still Not enough!..."

Tolmed didn't speak interestingly, but he was happy for his friend.

Daveus booed for a while, and praised loudly: "This time, the strategic plan specified by your military department for Samone is also very good! Alexis in the east, Zantiparis and Kampa in the west The Allied forces of Niya, Abenerum and Potentia in the middle, the three-way army cooperated closely and took turns attacking. If they played the Gumon of the Samonei, they would not be able to take care of the West, and Gu Xi would not be able to take care of it. Failure is doomed Understand!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The clerk Hernipolis also said with a smile: "As you have said, although the Samonais are a hungry wolf, but we are on the lion, Daionia, evil Even if the wolf bites the male lion, it will not cause great damage, but as long as the male gives the hungry wolf a claw, its half life will be lost."

"We need to be more greedy. This evil wolf takes the whole life." Daveus made a joke, and then said, "Heny, go get the map of the Samona area and put it on. "

Henripolis responded.Then he went to the bookshelf full of various documents and materials, and Crotokatax also came to help him.

"Tormid." Daveus continued: "Regarding the letter from the Ministry of Military Affairs, I said, "The increase in the number of troops participating in the battle of Samonay has led to a shortage of military supplies." I thought about it later. Alexis and Zante The military supplies of the army led by Paris are supplied by us."

"Your Majesty, are you saying...transporting military food from Rome to Campania?" Tolmed asked, just out of politeness, in fact he was not surprised, because the food hoarded in Rome was indeed very sufficient. Not only the military food seized by the army from Rome, but also the food collected from almost all Roman noble residences, as well as the grain and grass collected from the captured Latin and Etruscan city-states, the quantity is staggering enough to supply in Latin This Dionysian army and the people in Rome are used for half a year.

"The young people who led the staff of the staff made a more detailed food supply plan based on the military situation in Campania and the food and transportation situation in Rome, which was then reviewed by me and sent to Asistes. , Let him be in charge of the arrangement." Daveus asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Davos touched his jaw and pondered for a while, then said: "It seems that we should also send people to ask the Etruscan and Latin Confederates for military supplies..."

"Father, isn’t Rome’s food reserves enough? And it should be harvested again in two months. Most of the farmland outside Rome, Vie, Gabi and other cities has not been damaged. With good care, I believe that enough food will be harvested at that time, which can not only supply the army of Latium and Campania, but also provide assistance to the army of Sicily. There is no need to ask for food from the newly joined alliance. Deepen their dissatisfaction with us." Crotocatax persuaded a little worried.

Daveus looked at him with a smile: "I'm glad you haven't been idle in Rome. You have a more detailed understanding of the area we occupied. That's how it should be! But, the reason why I sent people to ask for food from these allies, Not because we are short of food, but to solve their confusion."

"Solve their confusion?!" Krato Kataks himself was confused.

Daphes smiled and patiently explained to him: "Before, during the Roman War, they often asked these allies for food and soldiers, and they were used to it. And now these city-states have turned to us in Dionysia, and We have been fighting alone, and have never asked for any help from them. I am afraid they will be confused. We may even worry that after we have eliminated Rome, we will turn against them."

Crotocatax suddenly realized: "So asking for food from them is to show them that Dionysia really regarded them as an ally."

Daphes continued: "This is just a purpose. In addition, I will ask the messenger to ask them for food without imposing a requirement on the quantity. In this way, the amount of food provided by each confederation can be justified. We make a rough judgment as to how much sincerity they have for Dionia!"

Crotocatax thoughtfully.

Daveus glanced at the map already on the table and said, "Clotto, you have just heard the news of'Zandiparis defeating the main force of Cavutini in Lola' while Alec Sith has also approached Beneventum, and Capps has attacked the Hillpini Mountains from the east... The defeat of the Samone is only a matter of time. If you are to deal with the conquered Samone What will you do in the mountains?"
