Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 801
[Chapter 147 Post-War Arrangements]
After Olivers’ Fourth Army smashed down the city wall, he did not think carefully, did not do reconnaissance, and did not control the soldiers under his command. Many, many casualties.
As for the Second Corps of Matonis, since Davos was behind him, he almost watched the entire battle with his own eyes. He knew very well that although the Second Corps had the best siege equipment, the Romans also assembled Since the heavy troops were defending the area he attacked, Davos didn’t have much resentment against Matonis.
In these years of war, Davos rarely said such heavy words, and several legion commanders bowed their heads in shame.
Davos didn’t look at them anymore, he slowed down his tone, and said to Stacey Kedas: “What difficulty do you have in treating soldiers?”
“There are too many wounded soldiers, and we don’t have enough people to take care of them.”
“Tormid, you Responsible for recruiting soldiers from each legion, making them obey the command of Stacey Kedas, assisting the medical battalion, and helping their comrades.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty, we still need a lot of spacious and clean rooms for the wounded soldiers. Let
’s rest and recover.”
“It’s easy to handle.” Davos thought for a while, and said, “I heard that many Roman nobles fled to the Capitoline Hill, and you, Trotiras, are responsible for leading the troops. Their houses were vacated and handed over to the medical camp.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Stacey Kedas hesitated for a moment, then said: “And… Your Majesty, I hope to be able to treat the injured Roman citizens.” In the hearts of doctors and parents, although the two sides are hostile, in the eyes of doctors they are only patients.
Davers smiled slightly and said with relief: “If you don’t talk about this, I will let you do the same.”
Davers once again set his sights on the commanders of each legion: “Now let’s make it clear that each legion is in station in Rome.”
When the commanders heard this, they immediately leaned forward and looked at the map of Rome on the wooden table.
“The First Army and the Second Army camped in the square.” Davos pointed to the map and said, “The Fourth Army camped in the arena, the Sixth Army camped in the southeast corner of the city, the Fifth Army camped in the southwest corner of the city, and the Fourth Army camped in the arena. The Third
Legion—” Davos paused and looked at Lizaru: “You are still living in the original camp,
and you have to include the beach where the original Third Fleet parked the warships, continue to improve the camp’s defense, and Compared with other legions, you have to work harder, but you must understand that you are guarding the material transportation base of the entire army, which is very important! Be sure to guard it carefully, and there will be no problems!”
“Leave it to our third legion .
, Your Majesty, don’t worry!” Lizaru said loudly.
Davos nodded and looked around the commanders of each legion: “Everyone understands the location of their legion. If you have any difficulties, feel free to mention it.”
Several legion commanders looked at the map and expressed no opinion, only Georgris showed his face. Difficulty color.
Davos saw it and immediately said: “Geogris, if you have any difficulties, just say it.”
Georgris said carefully: “Your Majesty, there are messy houses everywhere in the southwest corner of the city, and there is not enough open space. Let the Fifth Legion camp, and the garbage is everywhere, the smell is unpleasant, and it is not conducive to the rest of the soldiers… There is a lot of open space near the arena, you can see if I can let the Fifth Legion camp here as well.”
Davos said .
Listen, he hurriedly looked at the map. The map did not mark the slums on the southwest corner of the city of Rome, but he believed what Giorgris said. After all, they were the officers who were close to the front line.
“Yes!” Davos immediately complied with Georgris’ suggestion, and asked the commander of the Sixth Army: “Trotras, do you have any difficulty in camping in the southeast corner of the Sixth Army?”
“Your Majesty, I am going to the city. I have observed from time to time that there is enough open space there, and there is no problem with camping.”
After talking about the infantry corps, Davos looked at the commander of the cavalry corps again: “The camp of the two cavalry corps is on the north side of Mount Silio and south of the square, where there is a big market, and the Romans don’t use it anymore. Come on, when I entered the city gate just now, I saw that there are some corrals and stables in the market just right for your cavalry.”
Neither Leders nor Kuzius had any objections.
“Now that the camps of each legion have been determined, let’s clarify your defense zone.” Davos clicked on the map and continued: “The section of the wall that each legion attacked is the section of the wall that you will patrol, and each legion is also responsible for The order and security in the city were initially planned in this way. The fourth and fifth armies were responsible for the city south of the arena, the first and sixth armies were responsible for the city from the Roman Forum to the north of Mount Esquiri, and the second and sixth armies were responsible for the city. Fleet infantry and mountain reconnaissance brigade are responsible for the area in the middle of the city.”
Speaking of which, Davos looked at Matonis: “Your Second Army is responsible for the largest area, but the number of soldiers is the smallest, but you don’t have to worry, according to According to the information I have obtained so far, most of these residents in the middle city are Roman nobles, but many of them have fled to the Capitoline Hill, and your task is relatively easy.”
“Your Majesty, even if they are still Now, our brothers from the Second Army will not have any pressure, they are all old and young, women and children, what is there to fear!” Matonis said confidently.
“The third legion is responsible for the north bank of the Shibashi Bridge in Rome, and at the same time protects the port we are about to build there. As for the two cavalry legions, your task is to patrol the city, find abnormalities, and promptly notify the legions in the area you are in charge of, Let them solve it. The city is not conducive to cavalry fighting, so don’t let our precious cavalry be damaged here. In addition, each legion should seize the time to improve the defense of the city section, arrange deer villages outside the city walls, and dig traps… to ensure We no longer need to pay heavy casualties to easily defend this city that already belongs to us… Oh, by the way, the two sections of the city wall that your Fourth and Fifth Corps collapsed must be repaired quickly! ”
“Your Majesty, our soldiers have already stepped up to repair.” Georgris said immediately.
“Very good!” Davos nodded to him with satisfaction. Geogris was not as brave as Matonis, nor as wise as Olivers, and even a little timid by nature, but it was precisely because of timidity that he became Being cautious and careful can make a difference at some point.
“Your Majesty, what about us? Where do we live? What is our mission? You won’t forget us!” Epithenes asked urgently.
“How could you forget your troops!” Davos laughed, then pointed to the mountain-shaped sign next to the western section of the northeastern city wall, and said in a deep voice, “I ask you to lead your troops to build a camp and encircle the Capitoline Mountains. Get up.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to attack it directly?!” Epithenes suggested loudly.
“No, we have to keep it.” Davos smiled mysteriously: “In this way, we can control the Roman army outside the city.”
What Davos said made the commanders ponder.
“Have you all made your mission clear? Who else has a different opinion?”
“No.” The generals answered in unison.
“How many prisoners have we captured?” Davers turned his head and asked Thormid.
“According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 21,300 people.”
“A lot of people.”
“Many are old people, women, children… and slaves.” Tormide reminded.
“Let all the prisoners over 55 years old and under 15 years old be released, and the rest will be escorted by your legions to work as labor… Wait-” Davos suddenly remembered something, and changed his words: “First take these prisoners The nobles and the commoners in China should be distinguished, as well as the diners of the nobles, and the nobles and diners should not be released, no matter the young or the old.”
“This… We are not familiar with the situation in Rome, and we want to distinguish them clearly. I’m afraid it can’t be done in a short time.” Thormed looked embarrassed.
“You… take Valkes, the Roman slave who just surrendered to us, and let him make a preliminary identification. You can supervise it.” Davos understood that these people under his command were good at fighting, but he did not deal with it. Other government experience, he now desperately longed for the senators and administrators in Ostia.
“Understood.” Thormed accepted the order.
“Orops, the engineering team you organized has produced a lot of siege equipment in a short period of time, and made great contributions to our capture of the city of Rome!…” Davos spared no words of praise, And told the military judge to record the contributions made by engineers and carpenters as an important basis for awarding land based on merit after the war.
Then, UU reading www.
sonicmtl.com He made another request: “I need you to lead all the engineering personnel to build a simple dock as soon as possible on the beach where the warships of the Third Fleet are parked, so that our cargo ships can dock and load and unload materials.”
Oro Puth was surprised: “Your Majesty, isn’t there a river port here! Why build another one?”
Davos knew that although Orops was a mercenary, he had been obsessed with research and manufacturing equipment over the years. He didn’t understand the situation very well, so he patiently explained to him: “The army of Rome is about to come, I am afraid there are nearly 70,000 people. With the current situation of our army, it is not suitable to fight against it, and we can only stick to this Rome for the time being. The city, and the river port is outside the city of Rome, and there is no strong city wall protection. If you want to defend it, you need to pay a lot of casualties. This is completely unnecessary, so I can only ask you! And tomorrow, a large number of people and cargo ships They will all reach the city of Rome, I hope you can speed up the construction of the pier!”
“We will do our best!” Orops replied in a deep voice. Although he felt a certain pressure, he was still confident that he could build the pier tomorrow. After all, he now has more than 1,000 experienced and highly skilled engineers and craftsmen (including the engineering battalions of the various regiments), and he has plenty of wood.
