Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 316

[Chapter 114 Bruti Retreat and Elijah Infestation]

Fortunately, behind the wooden wall, there is a sentry tower that is more than one meter higher than the wall, and the support of light infantry led by Tspit in the lower city, bows and arrows and javelins fired by freemen, so far the southern section of the wooden wall is still basic. Stay safe.

Tspit fired an arrow, hitting the chest of the enemy who had penetrated the wooden wall. The seemingly thick leather robe was completely penetrated, and the enemy fell to the ground.

Tspit habitually reached for the arrow, but found that the quiver was empty.

“Go get the new arrow!” Cipit shook his sore right hand and said to the guard next to him.

After a while, the guard hurried back, handed him a quiver full of ten arrows, and said at the same time, “Captain, the quartermaster told you to save it, he has few arrows left.”

“How can it be used so fast?!” Tspit said slightly dissatisfied.

“I asked him the same way, but he said that we light infantry plus the free people have more than 2,000 archers, each with 20,000 arrows, and now almost all archers have used up a barrel of arrows… He He also said… and also said that ‘the arrows are all bought with money, and the price is not low. This time because our second army has the need for defensive operations in the previous plan, the enemy of Mersis will distribute them to us. 30,000 arrows, otherwise we will never let us waste it like this!'” The guard said something aggrieved.

Although Tspit was also a little angry, but the quartermaster of the baggage team was now under the control of Mersis, thinking of the miserly fat man gave Tspit a headache, and he said loudly: “Brothers, there is nothing to worry about when you run out of bows and arrows. , We also have reverse-blade knives and spears, are you right?!”

“Yes!!!”

…………………………

The siege battle made Pian Lun very anxious, he turned around and looked Looking at the soldiers resting in the rear, they were hesitating whether to send the last 5,000 people up, but the narrowness of the battlefield made the wooden walls too crowded, and no matter how many people it seemed, it would not help.

At this moment, he heard a “bang rumbling…” behind him, followed by cheers.

“The wooden wall has collapsed! The enemy’s wall has collapsed!!…” The soldiers beside him cheered, and Pian Lun turned around excitedly and looked: There was a big gap in the center of the southern section of the wooden wall of the fortress in front of him. The soldiers are rushing in one after another…

“Don’t panic! Don’t panic!…” Bream loudly appeased the panic-stricken Bissinian soldiers.

Bachilippi was too old, and the warriors in his tribe were led by Bachilippi’s nephew, so Brim was the oldest, the oldest, and the prestige of the three leaders of Bisinia.

Although he didn’t really want to fight against the Cosenza

, he had to work hard for the survival of his clan when he was on the battlefield.

“Keep your position, the wall won’t fall again!…” Bream shouted loudly, he knew very well that the gap was because the soldiers’ negligence caused the wooden wall to be burned with kerosene, and then covered by sambar wood. The collision will cause the wooden wall to be damaged and the soil pit to collapse.

“Stay ahead! Don’t worry about the enemies who are rushing in, the Dionians are behind to pick them up!…” He said this because he had seen heavily armed Dionian soldiers in the gap in the wooden wall The rear was lined up, and he was surprised by the quick and neat maneuvers of the Dionian army.

For the soldiers of the third and fourth divisions of the Second Corps, the collapse of the wooden wall was a good thing, and they could finally make up for the regret of not going to the city to kill the enemy.

When the Brutian warriors stepped on the earthen barrier that collapsed into a slope, kicked the broken wooden fence, and rushed into the wall, they found themselves facing an iron wall surrounded by countless copper shields and countless sharp thorns. In the rhythmic sound of war drums, the Dionian soldiers steadily fired and retracted their guns, and each jab could take a life…

The Bruty warriors who rushed in could not form an array with their companions, nor did they The team officers were organized and could not resist the group attack of the Dionysian army by their individual prowess, and they had to guard against the arrows shot from the tower overhead and the javelins of the Bissinian warriors.

In a short period of time after breaking into the wooden wall, the casualties of the Brutite warriors increased sharply. They were afraid to retreat, but the way back was blocked by the excited warriors from the rear.

The third and fourth corps of the Second Corps attacked steadily, shrinking the encirclement, causing the Brutite warriors to crowd into a group, and it was very difficult to even wield their weapons.

Pian Lun was delighted to see many Brutus warriors rushing into the gap together, but soon the scene there seemed to be stagnant. The warriors were wandering in the gap, but could not enter, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Then, he was surprised to see that the Brutian warriors there suddenly scattered and fled, and groups of brightly armored Dionian soldiers poured out from the gap in the city wall, and they took advantage of the flank to attack the others who were attacking the city with all their strength. The Bruty warriors, soon the retreat was no longer just the point of the gap, but evolved into the entire Bruty’s offensive line…

Seeing this scene, Pian Lun’s heart was half cold, and the fluke of winning was extinguished. Out: The Dionian army that occupied Vicinia was not just a Dionian non-main force with only a few thousand soldiers as the leaders judged it, but most likely what the Diorians claimed!

“Retreat…” He cried out in pain.

However, just when he finally gathered the defeated soldiers and returned to the camp in frustration, he got worse news.

“What did you say?! There was a riot in Cosenza City?!”

“Yes, Chief. Seidum, Thass, Bois… and more than a dozen tribes in the morning after you left with the army. , suddenly led the tribe to attack the inner city, if not, the leader of Kadulke led his team in time, I am afraid they will attack the inner city! Now they occupy the west of the outer city, the high priest sent me to tell you quickly, I hope you can quickly quell these rebellions and restore peace to the city of Cosenza!” the messenger said anxiously.

“Understood, you go back and tell the high priest, I will bring the army back immediately, let him not panic, and Kadulke together to defend the inner city first!” Pian Lun quickly made a decision.

In order to monitor and rule these disobedient tribes nearby, the “Seven Elders Council” decided to force them to move to the outer city of Cosenza.

The rebellion this time sounded the alarm for Pianlon. The invasion of the Dionians had affected all tribes in the Bruti region, especially those tribes who had been dissatisfied with the alliance and had to surrender. He had to Act quickly to avoid worsening the situation.

He sent Petaru to carry out the order to pull out the camp.

Soon, Bergam broke into the tent and shouted excitedly: “Did I hear it wrong, Pianlon, you want to go back to Cosenza?! Let these Dionysians continue to build the fortress here, we are just like this. Going?!”

“Elder Bogam, what else can we do under such a bad situation? Continue to attack the fortress?!” “There are probably six or seven thousand Dionysian soldiers who have been strictly trained behind the city wall, and more than two thousand Pessinian traitors who have turned to them, plus that well-defended fortress, do you think that by virtue of Can we take this fortress?! You know, we lost nearly 2,000 casualties in today’s battle! 2,000!! That’s about half of the Ambarian warriors you brought After listening to this, Bergam sat down slumped… After a while, he raised his head and murmured in a dry voice:

”

Is it just like watching Dionia’s army pass through Bisinia and break into our homeland… “…”

“Then let them come!” Pian Lun shouted, his eyes were bright, looking directly at Bergam, he stepped forward and gave him a strong hug, and said decisively in a hard tone: ” We’re going back to gather all the Brutus warriors! We’re going to fight the Dionians on the Cosenza Plateau! This battle will decide the fate of the Brutians, and the goddess Amara of the Plateau will protect us!

” Plateau…” Bogam reinvigorated his fighting spirit through An Lun’s reminder: “Yes, we have Amara’s blessing! We also have Cosenza Plateau!…”

……………… ……

The high-spirited Cincinnagar got the support of many tribes in the northern part of Grummentum, and marched south smoothly all the way.

After reaching the south, he finally encountered obstacles.

The tribes who had migrated from Neutum were the first tribes to submit to Dionysus. Compared with Picocis, far west of Grummentum, they identified with Dionia and trusted Dio more. nia.

They drove out the messenger sent by Cincinnagar, and united, ready to fight against Picocis.

Cincinnagar was furious and prepared to lead an army to attack these disobedient tribes.

However, there was news that there was a change in the city of Grummentum on the north side, and about 2,000 Dionian soldiers came out of the city.

This made Cincinnagar fear that when attacking the Lucanian tribes in the south, he would be suddenly attacked from the flank by the Dionysians, so he had to withdraw his troops.

No sooner had Picocis’ troops withdrawn than the Dionians retreated into the city.

This was the case for two days in a row, and Cincinnagar judged that the Dionians in the city were just pretending, and they had neither the guts nor the intention to attack him.

So he asked Gnenett to lead two thousand soldiers to stare at the city of Grummentum, and he led his army to prepare to conquer the tribes in the south.

At this time, the city of Picocis sent messengers to tell him bad news: a thousand Elias invaded the territory of Picocis, they destroyed the farmland and burned the settlements. Don’t dare to attack rashly and ask Cincinnagar to urgently return aid!

After Cincinnagar heard it, he was furious.
