Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 710

[Chapter 55: Advice from Printols]

? Cypros looked around the crowd and asked, “Commander Prosous has clearly told everyone his battle plan. Do you have any questions? If not, then we will discuss how to raise funds according to this plan. Military rations, as well as sending citizens to help build defensive camps and fortresses, and planning in advance how to solve the problem of spring planting in the event of a lack of labor—”

“Lord Cypros, I have a question!” Taunis Chief General Tiri Ash shouted loudly.

Cypros’s speech was interrupted, he did not express any dissatisfaction, but asked calmly: “Please tell me, Lord Tirias.”

“General Prosous just said how to defend .

The attack of the Carthaginians, if the Carthaginians really sent an army of 70,000 or 80,000, which is obviously not enough to repel with the number of troops we have now, when will Dionia send a large army to drive them away? ?!” Tirias asked with concern.

Leotides glanced at him and said lightly, “As long as we hold on long enough, we can repel the enemy even if we don’t need to send troops.”

“Stay long enough? How long?!” Rias said loudly with some dissatisfaction: “It can be seen from your previous statement, General, that Taunis will be the focus of defending against the Carthaginian attack. I don’t want to see the Carthaginians be repulsed in the end. The city of Taunis has been in ruins!”

Leotizides’ face was a little ugly.

“Lord Tirias.” Philisius said quickly, “Don’t worry, His Majesty Davos has already sent several caravans to Egypt and the Eoke Sea area to buy food, as long as you have enough food, and Jia The Taichi army has also begun to attack, and several legions of Nanyi will soon reinforce Sicily… Your Majesty will never sit back and watch the Carthaginians ravage the Sicilian territory of Dionia and the land of the allies!”

Tirias And Leotini’s chief general Hippogritta expressed satisfaction.

…………………………

After the Dionysian First Legion hit the Roman army hard, because of its own losses, it basically spent the next few days resting in the city of Bolefnum.

On the fifth day, they began to prepare to build the camp, but they received the report of the scout: “Satenicum has been captured by the Roman army, and the Roman army there is already marching to the south of the Volsci territory!” The

Roman army It would take up to two days to travel from Satnicum to Setia at a normal marching speed. In these short two days, it was not enough for the First Army to build a well-defended camp, and the First Army gave With such a big blow from the Romans, his camp will definitely become the focus of the Romans’ attack. Can the damaged First Army resist the revengeful attack of the Romans?

After deliberation, Amyntas and Printols

decided to ask the Wolsey to “continue the First Legion to stay in Bolefnum”, which was of course welcomed by the Wolsey.

On the sixth day since that battle, Amyntas received a letter from Davos.

In the letter, Davos praised Amyntas for actively seeking fighter planes after he arrived in the Volsey area, and won a brilliant victory with fewer victories, which was a great victory for the Dionysian army in the Latium area. Prestige is conducive to the further operations of the Dionian army in central Italy in the future…

At the end of the letter, Davos reminded politely: “… I heard that the battle this time caused the First Army to suffer a lot of casualties. I hope the injured soldiers can get good treatment and recovery! In view of the damage to the strength of the First Corps, I recommend that no new military operations be conducted in a short period of time, so that the soldiers can rest well. We are fulfilling the covenant and assisting Wall. The Westerners defended against the Romans, not to defend their homeland, so there is no need to do everything possible…”

In the end, Davos also said with concern: “…From this battle, we can see that the Romans are strong in combat, so I have sent someone to notify the commander of the Third Legion stationed in the Campania League. Lizaru, you can strengthen contact with Lizaru, the First Army can ask the Third Army for assistance when encountering difficulties in future battles, but please remember! The First Legion has been stationed in Volsi for a long time, because Campania still needs them to guard!…”

Amyntas was silent after reading the letter: In his opinion, those words in Davos’ last letter were correct his criticism.

And Davos suggested that the First Army would passively avoid the battle in the next battle, which made him a little hard to accept.

Therefore, when Plintos came in, he did not want to show this letter to Plintos, but the beginning of the letter clearly stated: To the commander of the Armintas and Plintos Read together.

So he silently handed the letter in his hand to Printols.

After Plintos read it, he understood the reason why Amintas was unhappy.

In the past few days, the Volsi people have flattered Amyntas, and he is watching it on the side. For Amyntas agreeing to the demands of the Volsi people, “When Setia was in danger, he I will lead the First Army and other Volsi troops out of the city to rescue.”

Plintors was firmly opposed to this: after the Roman army converged, they had more than 40,000 troops, even if they attacked the city with all their strength, There is also enough remaining force to intercept the rescue force.

At the same time, the Setian people who escaped from the city are very likely to disrupt the formation of the rescue troops under the pursuit of the Romans.

But Amintas did not listen to his advice.

At this moment, he read the letter several times over and over again. He secretly applauded the wise decision of His Majesty. At the same time, he also had an idea in his heart. He tentatively asked: “Legion Commander, Your Majesty is afraid that our First Army will suffer serious losses, let us not Fighting head on with the Romans?”

“Your Majesty is far away in Turii, and I don’t know much about the situation here.” Amyntas said with a stern face, “If we allow the Romans to attack Setia with all their strength and not rescue them, once Setia falls, Bo Lavernum will be the next target to be attacked. The Romans can completely surround Bollevenham without fighting, and divide their troops to attack the empty cities of Selcher and Teresina. By then… hum , we are really trapped in this land!”

Printols laughed: “Legion Commander, you don’t understand what His Majesty said, he won’t let us fight recklessly, because he has already given us The way to repel the Romans.”

Amyntas was stunned, grabbed the letter, and read it carefully, but still couldn’t get the point, so he said impatiently: “Stop going around in circles, where is the way to repel the Romans? ”

Printoles restrained his smile and said sternly: “Look at the army commander, there are more than 40,000 Roman army now, all of them are in front of Setia City, and it is impossible to have enough troops behind them to defend.” The land of Volsi that we just occupied. And your majesty let the third legion cooperate with us. The third legion is now stationed in the Campania region, not far from here, and we have Midorades in command. The Third Fleet controls this sea area, so we can completely—”

“We can raid the rear of the Romans! Just like when His Majesty besieged Dionysius, but sent Antonios to lead the First Army to raid Sicily!” Amyntas stood up abruptly and interrupted Printols with a loud and excited voice.

“Yes, Legion Commander.” Plintors saw Amyntas’ expression and knew that he had accepted the proposal, so he instead reminded: “Captain, in order to prevent the Romans here from returning to help, you We should lead the coalition forces out of the city from time to time, posing as reinforcements, forcing the Romans to deal with it with all their strength and not daring to split up.”

Armintas put his hands on his hips, thought for a moment, and said, “Your suggestion is very correct. However, we must send a messenger immediately. , go and inform Lizaru in Campania, so that this kid is always ready!”

Another Roman army, led by two military officers, Quintus and Licinius, came to the Roman camp, and after joining the forces of Camillous and Frius, its number of soldiers reached nearly 45,000 people.

The two new military officers were taken aback when they learned that the Dionian entry had resulted in a defeat for the army.

However, the successive victories before, coupled with the news from the Senate that “the ally Carthage will increase their support for them, and will soon launch an attack on Dionia in Sicily”, so the two not only have no fear , but aroused their fighting spirit.

As early as the beginning of the founding of Rome, under the leadership of the patriarch Attius Claudius, the entire family migrated to Rome. The men of this family have always been unfriendly to the commoners, and most of them are arrogant, tough, and uncompromising. , strong will, a strong sense of responsibility, and a strong physique, Quintus is no exception.

The identity of another military and political officer, Licinius, is also not simple. His full name is Pubrius Licinius Calvius. Although he is from a wealthy civilian, he is a The first civilian to become a military officer in the struggle between the Roman civilian class and the aristocracy in the past ten years, he has become a role model for the Roman civilians.

And this year is his third time as a military and political officer, and he will never allow himself to back down in the face of a powerful enemy, resulting in damage to his reputation.

In order to sever the connection between Setia and Bolefnum, and to better attack the city, the two military officers suggested that the camp should be relocated between the two Volscy towns, which was obtained by Camelus. agree.
