Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 505

[Chapter 172 Hiros’s Decision]

“Let’s go, Lord Shiros, or we’ll have to delay time again!” Henepolis urged proudly, and hurriedly walked towards the trestle with the guards.

Hiros had to accept the fact that Henepolis was with the army, and solemnly saluted Bagulae again: “Laos will be handed over to you.” The

somewhat guilty Bagulag returned the same solemn salute: “You can rest assured. Well, may Hades bless you to go to the south to break the enemy and attack the city!”

…………………………

Just after Davos crossed the Neto River, he was returned by the herald Thormid: “Your Majesty , there is a team of Syracuse reconnaissance cavalry in front, and our cavalry is chasing it.”

“Lydes’ cavalry regiment has been scattered long ago, why didn’t they find it, and let them break into our army formation. Before.” Davos’s calm tone was majestic.

The kind Thormed explained: “It is reported that these enemy cavalry were hiding behind the ruins of the broken wall of Crotone City, and they were not found. Now Ryders has reorganized his men and horses and is ready to investigate thoroughly. The ruins of the inner city of Crotone.”

“Dionysius was very attentive in order to detect the movements of our army!” Davos sneered. He sat high on the horse and looked forward. A group of Dionian soldiers formed a small phalanx, and his expression became solemn: “I’m afraid my worst assumptions are coming true…Tormid!”

“Yes!”

“Inform the legionnaires to wear Well armed, march south at normal speed! Tell Ryders, don’t scatter his cavalry to explore the inner city of Crotone, I want his cavalry to follow the army of Syracuse and report the enemy’s movements at all times, At the same time, give me all the power to cover the movement of our army! Let the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade do the work of investigating the inner city of Crotone.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Tormid asked softly again: “Need to inform Crotones of the Acropolis, have we crossed the river?”

Davos pondered for a while, nodded and said, “You send someone to tell Lycias… Well, let’s just say that we are leading an army to rescue them, and there may be a fierce battle with the Syracuse army, so let them send as much as possible. The army is coming to meet!”

“Understood, Your Majesty!” Thormed immediately turned to give orders to the messengers.

“My lord, my men are back.” Akirita rushed to Dionysius on horseback: “Ten people were sent out, but only came back. Two people, and their whole body is injured, although they have superb riding skills, but they have to pass through the encirclement of so many enemy cavalry-”

“I see,

you have made a merit, and the rewards will not be less!” Dionys Hughes interrupted his complaint impatiently: “Tell me, how is the situation?”

“The Dionysian army has crossed the river, and the number is very large…” The level of civilization of the Numibians is far lower than In Carthage and Greece, after the number reaches 10,000, most of them do not know the number.

Dionysius listened to Achillita’s exaggerated words, the original worry dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face.

Talking about retreating because the rear was attacked is an illusion to lure the enemy to cross the river. He has only one purpose in his mind – to defeat the army of Dionia, and only by achieving this goal can he completely get rid of the army of Syracuse. The predicament was clear to Dionysius from beginning to end.

His eyes swept to Phoebe Das next to him, and Phoebe Das nodded forcefully at him.

Dionysius decisively ordered: “Order the entire army to stop advancing, turn around immediately, cross the Tachinadi River, and march northward quickly!”

At this moment, his army has passed the south bank of the Tachinadi River, and the whole army It is about ten miles away from the Neto River, and it takes more than two hours for a normal march to arrive. Therefore, he must move quickly to avoid the enemy finding out and fleeing back to the north bank of the Neto River.

However, the time it takes for an army of tens of thousands of people to pass through Neto and He is probably more than a few hours. He has enough time…

…………………………

Near noon, the fleet entered the port of Knapetia.

The port of Clapetia is not big. Although the two chief executives expanded it after it was merged into the Dionysian Alliance, the innate conditions of the port are not good, and its ability to accommodate ships has not been significantly improved. Therefore, the troop transport ships can only slowly queue up one by one to enter the port…

“Sir Hiros, welcome you! I haven’t seen you for more than two years. I heard that you are coming this time. I’ll be waiting for you at the dock!”

Asisters gave Hiros, who had just disembarked, a warm hug, and then said, “Your Majesty is really cruel, and I didn’t let me stay in Lucania for the past few years. Well, even if you sent me to this remote Bruti area, you won’t give me any leisure time to get together with you old brothers. The last time you were appointed as the administrator of Cosenza, I I originally wanted to go to Cosenza to congratulate you, but I didn’t expect the war to break out so soon…” As soon as

Asisters came up, he kept talking excitedly, and Hiros only replied: “Your Majesty is also for you. Good.”

“Of course, His Majesty treats me like a real brother. If I complain a few times, he won’t blame me.” Asistes joked cheekily.

“Lord Asistes, hello!” Henepolis stepped forward to greet him.

When Henepolis went to study in Turii, Asisters had already gone to Niutum, and only saw Henepolis a few times when he returned to Turri to report to Davos. , but he had a deep memory of the only teenager who lived in the Davers mansion.

“Lord Henepolis, it’s a pleasure to meet you!” Asistes immediately returned a warm greeting, and then he remembered something and looked puzzled: “You can come here, it means that Laos has taken back, Shouldn’t you be in Laos to rectify the affairs of the city-state that just went through the war?!”

There is actually a bit of a lesson in this, but Henepolis didn’t care, he said calmly: “There is Lord Bagule sitting in the city of Laos now, he has done a good job, while I am I want to fulfill the promise I made to His Majesty and serve as his military secretary, so I came with Lord Hiros. I heard that Lord Asisters is His Majesty’s first secretary, I would like to ask you for more advice. Give me some experience on how to serve as His Majesty’s secretary.”

Asisters laughed, but glanced at Shiros, seeing Shiros nodding at him, he said, “No problem, we can communicate together, I think You must have done a better job than me, because I don’t have as good a writing ability as you, and I was criticized a lot by Your Majesty at the time…”

Just as Asistes humbly encouraged Henepolis, A person behind him stood up: “Lord Hiros, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

“Who are you?” Hiros looked at the stranger who was speaking.

“Let me introduce you.” Asisters said hurriedly, “This is Trina’s general, Blomaras. After the defeat of the Allied forces in South Italy, he led the people in the city to retreat to Knape. Tia, avoided the tragic fate of Sirius.”

Blomaras said solemnly: “Lord Hiros, the citizens of Trina will follow you to fight and retake our homeland!”

“Your wish Coming soon!” Hiros promised confidently.

“And this one—” Asisters pointed to another man beside him, and introduced Hiros: “Flalios, the captain of the three-tiered oars of the Dionysian Fleet, is from the Navy. Commander Cykrian’s order has been waiting for you in Knapetia for a day.”

Flalios stepped forward and gave a military salute: “Sir Hiros, our fleet is now moored at the port of Taurina. , General Cykrian ordered me to come and discuss with you, I will return as soon as you get the time to attack Trina, and tell General Cykrian. He will lead the fleet, full of 4,000 soldiers from Lijim, to land in Hibney Ann’s shores, cut off Lochry’s reinforcements…”

After hearing this, Hiros couldn’t help but sigh: “Now that our navy is stronger, it will be even more helpful for the army’s attack!”

He turned his head to look at the pier. There were only a few hundred soldiers ashore, and troop transport ships one after another. There was a long queue that stretched outside the port.

He looked back at Blomaras, the General Trina looking at him expectantly.

“General Blomaras, how many soldiers do you have?” Hiros asked suddenly.

“500 people.” Blomaras saw Hiros frown slightly, and added: “Including the older citizens, I can lead 900 people to fight with you.”

“Knapetia can draw How many soldiers?” Hiros asked Asistes again.

“Knapetia has 1,500 reserve citizens, and I can send 1,000 to support you.” Asisters said without hesitation.

“How many enemies are there in Trina?” Hiros asked again.

“Well… According to our investigation these days, there may be 4,000 people, but more than half of them are citizens of Hibernian and Madma.” Blomaras replied.

Shiros lowered his head and pondered for a while, made up his mind, and immediately said in a deep voice: “I will return to the ship now, and lead the fleet to land on the coast of the Plain of Ophemia and advance to Trina.”

“What?!” Surprised, Sisters hurriedly persuaded: “The soldiers have been bumpy at sea for several hours. They should be allowed to go ashore to rest, and it will not be too late to set off tomorrow. Not to mention—” Back then, Asisters and Hiros fought side by side in Persia, knowing that once Hiros had an idea, it would be difficult for him to change, so he pointed to Flarios and said, “You haven’t made contact with our fleet. Hopefully the Ligium army will attack Hibernian first and lure Trina’s enemies back so you can easily take it down when you attack Trina.”
