Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 1123 Dionysia's Counterattack Plan (Continued)

Ciplos also said: "Your Majesty, we sent a large army into the Po River Plains and fought fiercely in the Gaul territory, which will inevitably cause the Ligurians and the Venetians to be uneasy. In order to avoid some accidents. At the same time as sending troops, we can also send emissaries to these two races. Tell them that the Kingdom of Dionysia was invaded by the Gauls, so we sent troops to fight back and invited them to attack the Gauls together Even if they refuse to join, they will lessen their anxiety about our sudden appearance on the Po River Plain..."

Daveus nodded and felt reasonable.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Sedorum asked: "After our army conquers the Gauls, what should we do with them?"

This issue of Sedorum drew Daves into contemplation, because he did not plan to attack Gaul in Yamaguchi at this stage in advance, nor did he formulate a detailed plan for the placement of surrendering Gauls after the war. In his mind came Caesar's war against Gaul in the past in history. During the 8-year long battle, he carried out a bloody conquest of the Aboriginal people from the north of the Alpes to the land of England Island. The battle cost a lot, killing countless Gauls, and finally their surrender was exchanged.As for Shane Gaul, it seems that after Rome became strong, they obeyed, and there was no major war. Of course, when Hannibal led the army over the Alps and attacked Rome, these Shane Gauls joined in Under his command, he rebelled against the Romans...

Daveus looked at Alexis and Prentals, his eyes gleaming coldly, and said in a tough tone: "The Gauls are a fierce race, and we must not have any mercy in their battles, as long as they are still Resistance, the soldiers' fighting and killing don't stop. Only when we are more fierce than they will they fear and surrender!

If there are Gaul tribes who want to surrender, you can tell them,'surrender is ok, but we must unconditionally accept our resettlement of their territory, and must also comply with some of the Kingdom's resolutions against the Gauls who surrendered.'...These resolutions...will be submitted to the Senate for approval after I have conducted special discussions with you...

But no matter whether the Gauls surrender or not, some important towns in Gaul territory must be captured and firmly in our hands, such as Ali Miumu, occupying it, our military supplies can be more quickly and smoothly Transport to the army.There is also Boloma, the central town of the Senonis, and our troops will be guaranteed from Etrunia over the mountains and into the Po River plains; and Medioran, the central town of the Salvis Only by occupying it can we prevent more Gauls from crossing the Alps and entering the Po Plain..."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Sedorum, Alexis, and Prentals responded one after another.

"Your Majesty, although the Gauls have been hit hard, they only attacked from the sea, and it is also convenient for the Gauls to defend. It is better to wait for the army to attack Alimium and attract the main force of the Gaoren. The army led by Patroclus and Hasdrubal also launched an attack on the Gaul territory...If you are worried about the difficulty of fighting in the mountains, you can let the Third Army as its pioneer..."Hermon also proposed himself in due course Suggestions.

When Daphes heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help joking: "Hermon, this suggestion you made is a good complement to Alexis's offensive plan. It’s very researchful, so that you can only be a rotating chairman. Isn’t it a bit too crooked?”

"Your Majesty, Lord Hermon's main purpose is to allow the Third Army to join the war and make some achievements. As for being said to be a good military proposal, it is just a crook." Antaoris was half a joke. Seriously.

"What's wrong, this is what I figured out with all my brains. It's because of the characteristics of the Third Army that is good at fighting in the mountains... Just because I was thinking about this along the way, I was almost hit by pedestrians." Hermon Without looking at Anta Oris, he complained and touched his knees with both hands, posing with a lingering look, as if something really happened.

Everyone laughed for a while, and the atmosphere in the room became a little lighter, and Hermon subtly concealed the embarrassment of Anta Auris' secretly saying that he was favoritism.

Davers actually didn't care much about the matter. He looked at the thin figure opposite and asked, "Haka, what do you think of this?"

"Your Majesty." Hakkar said unhurriedly: "Now Carthage has surrendered to the Kingdom, and the Eastern and Western Nubians have also obeyed us. The southern region of Iberia is governed by the iron fist of the Chief Executive of Bagul The order has been greatly improved. The commander of the Sixtus Army led the Eighteenth Army and the Border Army to defeat the indigenous people who came to attack several times in the year, and also took the initiative to attack and slaughtered one. The plundered Lusitania tribe has deterred the surrounding indigenous people...now everything is stable within the sphere of influence of the kingdom, and the country's financial and material resources are also relatively abundant.

To the east of us, the war between Sparta, Thebes and Athens is still going on, and will not affect us for the time being.We should take advantage of such a great opportunity to concentrate our energy and completely remove the Kingdom’s biggest trouble on Italy’s peninsula, the Gauls, to clear the obstacles for our complete domination of the Western Mediterranean!"

"Good talk!" Daveus smiled and said with approval: "Now it is indeed the best time to conquer the Gauls! So I agree with this offensive plan formulated by the Ministry of Military Affairs! , The fourth and fifth legions are not enough. The entire Apulia region is on the Adriatic side. It is also more convenient to go to the Po River Plain from the sea, so I decided to place the ninth, tenth, and fifth in this area. The three eleventh regiments, as well as the first and second cavalry regiments, also joined the offensive team, a total of 7 infantry regiments, plus two cavalry regiments, while allowing the first fleet to serve as transport and Aid, launch an attack on Gaul territory from the side of Alimium!"

Without waiting for Alexis to respond, Daveus continued: "The candidate for his commander will let Prosius take over. In addition... The third legion will be transferred to the Etruscan region to assist the north The Allied forces wiped out the Gaul remnants in their territory as soon as possible, and then made Patroclus as the commander, led the Third Army, the Twelfth Army, the Fourteenth Army, and the Border Army. A total of four troops crossed the mountains and attacked Gao from the south The territory of the Lu people!"

"Yes!" After listening to the doctor's orders, several military ministers such as Alexis, Prentals, and Alpines were more or less excited: 100,000 troops!Another large-scale war!However, compared with the Western Mediterranean War a few years ago, the Dionysian kingdom is now more powerful, and can easily send 100,000 troops to fight (mainly short-distance war at the door).

Daveus looked at their excitement and shouted outside the door: "Go and call the herald."

Soon, Aristilas entered the meeting room.

"You immediately inform the heads of the various departments that the royal palace will urgently convene an important kingdom executive meeting and let them come immediately to participate."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Aristilas left, Daveus turned to look at the rotating chairmen and said with a smile: "Everyone will take a short break and wait for everyone to arrive, we will discuss how to ensure the smooth progress of this war, and How to place the surrendering Gauls after the war and make a more detailed plan."

……………………………………………

Shane Gaul is a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic race. It is still a tribal system, living in groups. Their lifestyle determines that they are more closed, and the surrounding environment they are in has exacerbated this kind of closure.

The large-scale southward invasion 20 years ago broadened the Gaul's vision (mainly Senonis), but also deepened their blind confidence in their own force. They did not think they were defeated by the Romans because The Roman city was occupied by them for half a year, and the Romans trapped on the mountain even wanted to bribe them with gold and silver and pray for their withdrawal...

The Senones believed that the reason they failed in the end was that they occupied too many places, but the number of soldiers was insufficient, and they had to be stationed separately. They were too scattered and easily attacked by the enemy; it took too long to go out and the soldiers began War exhaustion; there is the damn plague... if these lessons can be learned, the weak Etruscans, Romans, and Latins are destined to become their slaves... These ideas are common in the escape to Seno The heads and warriors of the various tribes of Nes, so after their strength was restored, this strong unwillingness was transformed into their motivation to continue to invade the Etruscan territory.

Of course, they also learned from the captured Etruscan people that some city-states in Rome and nearby were already occupied by the Kingdom of Dionia.

In recent years, the Senonis have only heard the term "The Kingdom of Dionysia" from the merchants who traded in Alimium, and heard that it is a powerful kingdom south of this land.

Speaking of power, aren't Etruscans powerful?Once occupying a large area of ​​land in the north, we were also fighting hard to flee south!The Roman and other Latin city-states occupied by the Kingdom of Dionysia were easily occupied by us 20 years ago... There are many Senonis who hold this idea, so they did not take Dioni Asia is in the eyes.
