Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 415

[Chapter 82 The First Victory]

“The Dionysians are here! The reinforcements of the Dionias are here!!…” The same people who shouted as these Samonais wounded soldiers were the archers on the outposts in the camp, but they issued It was a joyful voice: “Our reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are here!!…” It’s

finally here!

Alexis let out a long breath when he heard the news.

When the soldiers heard the shouts, their morale was shaken, and their tired bodies seemed to be recharged. They shouted in unison, trying to drive out the enemy who had rushed into the battalion…

and Torek, who heard the shouting, was still reluctant. I believe that when he turned around and saw the rushing Dionysian army, when any stragglers were swallowed up by it in an instant, his whole body seemed to be drained, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, with only one thought in his mind: ” It’s over! The Dionian conspiracy!” The Samonite warriors who had

been struggling for a long time and were equally exhausted saw the menacing Dionian Legionnaires attacking from behind, although they were panicked, Instead of turning around and fleeing, most of the warriors picked up their spears and turned around to resist the enemy’s surprise attack. There was only one thought in their minds to kill the red-eyed: fight!

However, the arrival of a steady stream of fresh forces and the front and back attack made the resistance of the Samonai warriors only in vain, but affected their timely escape from the siege.

As the Samonites continued to fall, the remaining warriors finally lost their fighting spirit and began to flee… Some warriors were exhausted and simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered… Therefore, after the battle lasted for a while, it was basically over, and the remaining The only thing is to chase down the routed soldiers.

…………………………

The soldiers of the Third Legion in Camp Dionia were either picking up the remains of their comrades, receiving treatment from the medical camp, or resting against the earth wall and lying on the ground…

And Legion Commander Alexis listened solemnly to the adjutant’s report on the casualties of the legion: “According to the preliminary statistics of the medical battalion, our legion has 412 casualties, 251 serious injuries, 537 minor injuries, and a total of 1,200 casualties…”

1200 people!

Alexis clenched his fists a little moved: accounting for 15% of the main force of the legion, this casualty is a bit big!

The adjutant saw the pained expression on the commander’s face, and hurriedly comforted him, saying, “There’s nothing we can do about it. We’re dealing with about three times as many fierce Samonais…”

Alexis sighed , did not speak.

At this time, the originally quiet camp suddenly boiled.

Alexis saw Davos enter the camp with the escort, and

while walking toward the center, he had a cordial conversation and condolences with the soldiers he met.

Alexis rushed to meet him.

Before he got close, Davos caught up with him and gave him a very powerful hug: “Well done, Alexis Legion Commander!”

This sentence made Alexis sigh, aggrieved and dissatisfied. Most of it dissipated immediately.

He stood at attention and saluted, and replied forcefully: “Report to the Supreme Commander, the Third Corps has completed the combat mission and is resting.”

“It’s more than just completing the combat mission!” Davers looked around at the soldiers who were rushing over, one by one. With exhaustion written on his face of dust and blood, he slammed his left chest with his clenched right fist emotionally: “Brothers of the Third Legion! Sacrifice and make a great contribution to the annihilation of the incoming Samones in the whole battle! You saved Potentia! Removed the danger of invasion of our Lucanian territory! Changed Dionia The battle of the whole north! Not only I have to thank you, but all the people of Dionia will thank you! You are the heroes of Dionia and will be remembered in the Temple of Hades in Turii! Victory, Third Legion!”

Davos’s passionate words reached the ears of every soldier, whether it was Lucanian or Greek, they were all excited and shed tears.

“Wan Sheng, Third Legion!!!”

“Wan Sheng, Davos!!!”

“Wan Sheng, Dionia!!!”

…

Continuous cheers resounded over the camp, and when the captured Samonai warriors heard this voice, the pain and frustration on their faces were indescribable…

In this battle, Davos encircled the camp to help, and The Third Legion was the bait, attracting 26,700 Samonei warriors to besiege.

Taking advantage of the exhaustion of its teachers and veterans, two more corps were secretly mobilized to encircle and destroy it… There were tens of thousands of Samonai soldiers captured alone, causing more than 7,000 casualties, and only nearly 3,000 fled into the mountains.

At the same time, he easily recaptured the city of Poseidonia, and obtained a large amount of supplies and materials that were piled up in the city and had not yet been transported to the Potentia Samone camp. It can be said to be a complete victory.

…………………………

On this day, the Syracuse army that had broken through the north bank of the Lamato River was still standing still.

They built a rudimentary camp at the confluence of the Lamato and Corta rivers, and built a pontoon bridge over the Corta with dozens of clippers, so that the baggage and supplies from Hibernian could flow smoothly. It was successfully delivered to the Syracuse camp, and the soldiers were finally able to have a full meal.

The people of Trina, west of the Syracuse camp and facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, were always in a state of panic.

They sent a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the camp of Syracuse; they sent messengers to Cilidia, while maintaining contact with Canapertia.

In the Siriting, the people were still uneasy even as the number of troops arriving in Crotone increased to 17,000, which made the coalition force in the Siriting soar to 30,000.

Syracuse’s camp is no more than 30 miles away from the city of Xiliting, and a few hours of marching can reach the city. Now all the people of Xiliting have abandoned their homes outside the city, and have fled into the city of Xiliting with their families and their families. .

For Crotone’s all-out assistance, the high-level Siriting leaders headed by Pretinis can’t blame anything, but for the overwhelming army of Syracuse, the disadvantaged Crotone-Siriting coalition did not. No way, the only thing they can do is to send reconnaissance cavalry to the south to learn about the itinerary of the Dionian Legion every once in a while.

…………………………

Dionia’s Fourth and Fifth Legions began to pull out their camp in the early morning of this day. In order to prevent the Syracuses from taking advantage of this abandoned camp, they not only evacuated their tents and pulled out the wooden fence, but also tore down the earth and filled them. The reason why Ping Mogou spends more energy is to repay the hospitality of the people of Coulonia and make up for the guilt in their hearts.

Last night, when Felixius informed the Coronians that “the Dionysian army had to prepare to withdraw”, although they knew that the matter was irreversible, Pretinius and the others made their best efforts. Retain this reinforcement that will keep Coulonia safe.

Felixius could only bear to refuse their request.

But just as they were leaving today, almost all the people of Corenia came out to see off the Dionysian army. They not only helped the soldiers to pull up the camp, but also brought freshly-heated bread, porridge and syrup, hoping that the soldiers They can have a full meal before marching.

Many Dionysian soldiers were moved by Coulonia’s deep friendship and poignant words of retention. They had to go north because of the army’s order, but the words to comfort the people of Coulonia were roughly the same: “Don’t worry. As long as you hold on to the city of Corenia, we will join forces with other allied forces, and we will soon defeat the Syracuse army, and then come to rescue you!”

Felixius also said to Phineris. The same words, but more euphemistically.

Feniris didn’t seem to hear the uncertainty in Felixius’ words, and he said resolutely: “We Corenia have been besieged by Lokri too many times, and there is nothing better than us in Great Greece. Defend the city, we will hold on until you come back, I know that the Dionysians keep their promises!”

Pretinis’ words made Felixius feel a little heavier.

Nearly dusk, the Fourth and Fifth Corps finally arrived at the Sili Court, and at this time, the Syracuse-Lokri coalition led by Fasipesas surrounded the city of Colonia.

…………………………

In the evening, at the headquarters of the Southern Italian Alliance in Celestine, Philisius, the commander of the southern line of Dionia, Ancitanos, the special envoy of the Senate, Ascamas, the general of the Crotone army, and Pu, the chief general of Celestine. Lethinis, the general of the Celestial army, Ashesias, and the messenger of Trinat, Asopias, sat around a large wooden table on which was placed a map of the plains of Othemia.

Athesias stood up, holding a stick in his hand, and gave a description of the current situation to everyone present: “My lords, according to what we have detected, the Syracuse army is in the Lamato River and the Cole. Set

up camp at the confluence

of the Ta river.” Athesias tapped a marker on the map with a stick: “This is the edge of the Plain of Euphemia, go west, only 15 miles from Trina—”

” To be precise, it should be only 13.9 miles!” Asopias emphasized loudly.

“Cough… The situation in the west, Lord Asopias is naturally much clearer than us.” Ashesias corrected slightly embarrassedly: “The Syracuse camp is 13.9 miles away from Trina. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com and the terrain is flat, but it is necessary to cross the impenetrable Ramato River, which is a lot of trouble for the Syracuses-”

“The Syracuse Navy has occupied The Lamato River, it is very easy to send the army across the Lamato River!” Asopias emphasized again.

Ashesias was a little angry: “Master Asopias, you like to interrupt others so much, why don’t you explain it to everyone!”

Asopias shook his head and said, “I just introduced what you said. It’s just to supplement the situation. Didn’t you just say, ‘We the Trina people know more about the situation in the west than you do’, and it will be more reasonable for us to let all the adults here have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the entire battlefield situation. Make a plan for the next response. Because this war is no longer a matter of Celestine or Trina, but a crisis that the entire South-Italian Alliance needs to face together!”

“Lord Azopias is right! Achilles, don’t be in a hurry, speak slowly and be more detailed.” Pretini hurriedly came out to mediate for the two.

“Yeah, the war has burned our territory, and everyone is a little anxious, but the more this is the case, the more calm we should be in order to defeat the powerful enemy.” Ancitanos also said comfortingly.
