Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 835

[Chapter 181 The Self-recommendation of Printols]

“Matonis, don’t talk nonsense, it’s not that we can’t attack Capitoline, it’s His Majesty who ordered us to temporarily besiege it and not allow it to attack!” Epithenes cursed angrily.

“The city of Rome is still unstable. If the two adults lead the army to leave, what will happen to the city of Rome?! So we can only fight with our third army!” Lizaru interjected.

…

Several legion commanders quarreled with each other in order to compete for the opportunity to fight.

Seeing Davos frowning slightly, Thormid hurriedly said something and wanted to stop: “A few—”

“Your Majesty, the Second Army, Third Army and Reserve Brigade all have important tasks and cannot be dispatched easily. I am willing to lead the troops to fight and take down Casereira in one day! At the same time, take Wei Ai again!”

As soon as these words came out, Matonis and others immediately stopped arguing, and the eyes in the venue quickly focused on the person who spoke. It was Printols, who had been sitting quietly beside him.

“Printors, now is not the time to brag, we are having a very important military meeting!” Matonis looked at him like an idiot and couldn’t help sneering.

“I can swear to Hades in front of His Majesty!” Plintors said seriously.

“If our army can’t be dispatched, what are you going to rely on to capture Kathrela and Wei Ai?” Epithenes looked at him with interest.

“Are you going to use the Mountain Brigade?” Davos’ voice came from above.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Plintors said respectfully: “In the past two days, the three commanders of Matonis, Lizaru, and Epithenis have been busy with military affairs, and I have nothing to do, leading a team The reconnaissance soldiers quietly explored the environment and terrain around the north bank of the Tiber River. Although the city of Casereira is located on a mountain, it is not too difficult for the mountain scout soldiers to climb over.

According to my long-term observation, even in the daytime, there are no sentries over the city of Casereira, and its defenses are relatively lax… Maybe it has something to do with its long-term friendship with Rome and the fact that it has maintained peace for more than ten years, so the surprise attack There is a good chance of success.

”

I remember that you spent a few years in the mountain reconnaissance brigade and made military exploits…” Davos looked at him and said slowly.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

”

In this way, you are not talking big, the city of Casereira can indeed be climbed, and you are preparing to raid at night?”

Davos glanced at everyone and asked thoughtfully.

“Yes,

Your Majesty. ”

”

“So what about Wei Ai?”

Are you also going to use the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade to make a sneak attack?

Davos asked again.

Printols said calmly: “Let the Romans attack, Your Majesty.”

Davos twitched his brows and then narrowed his eyes. He understood that the “Romans ”

that Plintors referred to were the reserve team that had just been formed by Roman civilians in the city. Hundreds of people increased to more than 2,000. For this reason, Davos also promoted several more capable and loyal Roman civilians to serve as assistants to Sextus.

“Let these Roman civilians in the city attack Victoria .

Love?

!

This is impossible!

“Matenis clearly opposed:” The order in the city of Rome is not very good now, it is caused by these Roman civilians, and several Roman civilians attacked the patrol yesterday!

It would be too risky to let such an unstable reserve team attack Wei Ai!

Moreover, according to the report of the reconnaissance, although there are not many Roman soldiers in the city of Weiai, the defense is still relatively strict. With the help of more than 2,000 Roman civilian reserves who have not received the formal military training of our Dionia, it is impossible to attack it. come down!

”

Mr. Matonis, the arrested Romans have been interrogated and have been confirmed to be the patrons of the Roman nobles.

“Antrapolis interjected, as the Roman administrative adjutant, he was in charge of the order and security of the city, so the police station and the court were all under his control.

“The little nobles and diners in the city have not been cleaned up yet. It doesn’t mean that this reserve team is complicated. How can we use them with confidence!” Matonis replied not to be outdone.

Asisters interjected: “I have talked to Captain Sextus of the Roman reserve team and several officers below, and they said that the soldiers are eager to make contributions in order to obtain better results. Many rewards, if we still dare not use them boldly, and still have doubts about them, I am afraid that their expectations of us will be turned into resentment, which is not conducive to our governance of this city!

They dare to take risks and defect from Rome The army, flee back here and submit to us… I believe that most of them really want to join our kingdom of Dionia, even if there are a small number of people with ulterior motives, what is there, just to expose them through battle Come out. Even if the siege fails, we have found hidden dangers and made these Roman civilians more loyal, which is a good thing!”

“Lord Asistes is right! In the long run, our army It is impossible to stay in Rome all the time, the main force to fight against the surrounding forces in the future is the Dionian citizen army composed of Romans, why not train our army while they are here!” Nico Marcus also suggested.

At this time, Plintors further explained: “Your Majesty, I did not let the Roman reserve team storm the city of Weiai, but let them use their identity

to steal Weiai .”

Davos had a general idea in his heart, and he asked, “Do you want them to act as reinforcements for Rome?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” From the south bank to the north bank of the Bohe River, in addition to the two bridges in Rome City (Roman Vertebrate Bridge and the Bridge in Hexin Island), there are also bridges in the upper reaches of the city of Phedina. The gates of the city have been locked. Our cavalry has been patrolling the north bank of the Tiber River for the past two days, and we have not seen any Roman soldiers entering Weiai through the upstream city of Phedenay. Therefore, the Weiai people probably did not know that the Roman civilians were joining us. As for Dionia, we can completely let the Roman civilian soldiers who escaped pretend to be their reinforcements and deceive the city gate of Weiai…”

“Bang!” Davos slapped the table vigorously and praised loudly: “Very good! Printols, this plan of yours is very good! Wei Ai is on the east side of the north bank of the Tiber River, Kesslera. On the west side of the north bank, if you can capture these two towns at the same time, you can form an horn with the city of Rome, support each other, and build a barrier to the north of the city of Rome. In the future, whether it is the Etruscan attack from the north ——The Roman coalition, or the Roman-Latin coalition that crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Tiber River had to conquer this barrier first. At that time, the third legion led by Lizaru will not need to be so passively defended, completely It can free up most of the soldiers to devote themselves to other battlefields…”

Davos said this, and Lizaru smiled happily.

“I’ve decided to follow Prince’s suggestion and let the Roman Reserve go to steal Wiai.”

“Your Majesty, who do you send to command?” Tormid asked.

“As Asisters said, since these Roman civilians have joined Dionia, we must boldly appoint them, otherwise it will be different from the Roman nobles, I think… let Sextu Let him be the commander of the attack on Wei Ai.” Davos said decisively.

“Sextus, a young Roman young man, has been actively assisting us and comforting the Roman civilians who have fled since he was elected as Chief Aventindemo.” Asistus interjected.

“For these Romans who sincerely trust us, we need to be bold and give them more opportunities. Even if the attack on Wei’ai fails, we at least get a group of tested Roman civilians who are loyal to us!” The administrative elders of the Cisters deeply agreed.

“But Casslera must be captured, and it must be captured in the shortest possible time!” Davos’s tone suddenly turned tough, he said: “The Roman army led by Camillous is continuously attacking Osti regardless of casualties. Yacheng, the Clippers reported yesterday that most of the trenches outside Ostia have been filled in, and the city walls have collapsed in many places. Before long, we will no longer have the geographical advantage and will have to fight the Romans directly…

We have the initiative in the battle situation, and there is absolutely no need to fight with a mad dog that is about to die, increasing the casualties of our soldiers, so we don’t have to defend Ostia at all, as long as we take Kathrera, we can take it The port serves as a transit station connecting the Roman river port. Although it is farther away than Ostia, the sea trade of Cassreira is prosperous. Its port must be larger than Ostia, and its facilities are more complete. , and will not be threatened by the Romans, so—”

Davos looked directly at the staff officer he valued, raised his right fist, and swung hard: “Printor S, it’s up to you to carry out the plan to attack Kessreira. If you have any needs, feel free to raise them, and we will do our best to solve them, but I hope you can do it as soon as possible – no!

Take it today and tomorrow, can you do it?

!

”

Plintors thought for a while, and then said firmly: “Your Majesty, I am willing to accept this task!”

His words

made Matonis, Lizaru, and Epithenes all show admiration, while Thormid looked at him with a complicated expression: King Davos gave two days, but according to Prin According to Thors’ surprise attack plan, in fact, there is only one night left. Is it too late? Even the battle-hardened ones dare not make this guarantee.

“Very well, I am waiting for your victory news!

Davos smiled. He readily agreed to Prince’s request to leave the venue now and make preparations, and watched him leave with admiration.

At this time, Tormide asked, “Your Majesty, Are you going to withdraw your troops from Ostia after the capture of Kethrela?
