Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 871

[Chapter 218 Split]

Segovani was annoyed, but he had to follow this decision.

Since Alexis learned that the main force of Samone was stationed in Beneventum, he no longer sent troops to press Beneventum, and also withdrew the ballista team, but the improvement and reinforcement of the entire camp continued. .

Although the harassment of the coalition camp by the Samonites is increasing, the increasingly perfect camp provides sufficient protection for the soldiers, and the Potentian warriors and Abenerum warriors who have not fought for more than ten years also I have gained a lot of experience in the successful defense again and again, and the response has become more and more appropriate.

The Dionysian coalition’s camp was in the midst of the constant slaughter. Deep trenches were dug, thick soil barriers were built, sturdy wooden fences were erected, and towering outposts were erected. There

were dense deer villages and traps…

The soldiers sent by the Samone coalition to attack the food route were idle because Alexis had stored sufficient food in the camp in advance, and temporarily did not carry out military food transportation.

The next day, bad news came that the city of Bereventum, aequum, was besieged by the Dionian army.

Equium, a town of Shilpini, it is located due east of Beneventoum, on the edge of the mountains east of Samonay, not far from the Downey area, it is neither like Aquilonia is located It is easy to defend and difficult to attack on the top of the mountain. It is not like Bereventum. It has a large population and a small number of ethnic groups. Half of the tribes were conscripted by the tribal coalition, and the Dionian army that surrounded it is said to have nearly million people.

The four great leaders all knew in their hearts: if there were no reinforcements, Equium would fall very quickly.

But Leskuk saw Segovani sneered at him and remembered what he had persuaded him to say yesterday, so he didn’t mention the reinforcements at all, instead he was thinking about how to persuade the Equium warriors in the army and appease the hearts of the army Floating other tribal peoples.

On the other hand, Badani said worriedly: “The Dionysian Kingdom has a large population and so many allies, and they can call up many more soldiers than us. Now they are using this advantage to increase their attack on us. Even if we gather all the warriors, there are less than 20,000 people, and even if we defeat the enemy outside the city, it will not change our disadvantaged situation!

Although we do not know how the war between Dionia and Carthage is going, but Obviously Carthage does not have the upper hand, otherwise the Dionysians would not be able to invest so many troops on us. Our original hope of relying on the Carthaginians seems to have been lost. What should we do? … “Badani wanted to say “just make peace with Dionia” several times, but he finally held back,

he didn’t want to be reprimanded by the stubborn old man again.

Of course the other three could hear what he meant, but even Contruk remained silent, the room was silent, and the four were thinking about their own thoughts.

In the evening, Segovani, who was anxious about the current war situation, received another call for help from the Lola messenger: The Dionysian Campania coalition was in a hurry to siege the city. They built a mountain of earth above the city wall, and also made a lot of The siege equipment that has never been seen before is a great threat to the defense of the city wall. If reinforcements cannot be obtained immediately, Lola is in danger of being broken!

Segovani finally couldn’t sit still, and he immediately went to find Leskuk and asked to bring troops back to Lola immediately.

Of course, Lesguk did not want Segovani to lead his troops away, because Kautini was already the strongest of the four major tribes. If they left, the entire coalition force would probably be cut in half.

So, Lesguk quickly persuaded: “The main force of Dionia is here, and there will not be too many enemies attacking Lola. You only need to send one or two thousand reinforcements to defend Lola. We can completely defend Lola. The most important thing now is to defeat the enemies outside the city!”

“Defeat? How?!” Segovani interrupted him coldly: “Just use your coward-like method?! Our soldiers have been guarding the mountains for two days and have not seen a single one. A pack beast that transports baggage! Even if it does intercept Dionia’s baggage someday, I’m afraid we Cautini’s town on the Campania plain will be lost!”

At this time, Lesguk ignored it .

Segovani’s ridicule, simply persuaded: “If you really want to go back in a hurry, why don’t we have a good discussion, launch a fierce attack on Dionia’s camp within two days, and defeat them first. , let’s go back to Lola together.”

“Enough! Leskuk, do you think I’m a fool like Contruk and Badani? You can fool me at will!” Segovani glared at him , scolded loudly: “We have sent soldiers to attack the enemy’s camp many times in the past two days, and many soldiers have been killed and injured. I believe you should know how difficult the enemy’s camp is! Now, you want us to go. Attack it, do you want all my people to die?! Lesguk

, you are a person who can only play tricks and talk, but hesitant in doing things, lacking decisiveness and ruthlessness for more than ten years. In the past, you failed to kill Gellney and pacify Abenirum, but instead made them our confidants! We waged war on Dionia, and most of the actions we carried out were based on your advice, until now We’ve lost more than half of our fighters, but we haven’t won a single victory!

Two days ago, Camp Dionia was far less troublesome than it is now. If you follow my advice and launch an onslaught, there will be a big gain. , but was dissuaded by you, and now when the Dionysians have completely repaired the camp, you let us attack… Lesquk, I can see through you, you are not fit to be the chief leader of Shilpini , you don’t deserve to be the commander leading the army to fight, you are just a poor bastard who was defeated by the

Dionysians

more than ten years ago and has always been afraid of them!”

Ke was ashamed and annoyed, a burst of anger rushed to his brain, he suddenly rushed over, holding Segovani’s hand with one hand, and strangling Segovani’s neck with the other.

Segovani struggled hard, but he couldn’t break free, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: “Les… Guk, what are you… wanting to do?!”

“What do you say I want to do?!” Les Guk

He approached him with a grim face: “You said that I am not worthy of being a big leader, do you deserve it?! Look at your thin body, you are also worthy of being a heroic Samonaite warrior?! No wonder the former leader of Kautini and The nation has always focused on Quindok as the leader! If you hadn’t slandered his reputation, how could you have become the leader! And what did you do after you became the leader?! The Covenant of the Nias has invaded the Campania Alliance many times, triggering a war with Dionia, not only suffered a crushing defeat, but even became a prisoner myself!…

Saying that I am not worthy of being a big leader, do you deserve it! Saying that I’m not fit to lead an army, without me, you bastard would probably still be imprisoned by the Dionysians now, not only are you not grateful, but you are insulting your benefactor, don’t we Samonais have the tradition of repaying kindness? Was it thrown away by you! You said I couldn’t do anything about Gellney. Could it be your credit for getting rid of Quinduck! That’s not my suggestion, the cooperation of several big leaders, otherwise it’s up to your stupid brain to be able to do it Come up with some solution to solve him!”

“What are you two doing!” Contruk, who came to hear the news, walked into the room, saw the two people entangled together, and yelled loudly, “As the great leader of the clan , I don’t think well about how to defeat our enemy, but I feel in the mood to beat and scold here, aren’t I afraid that the people will see a joke!”

Lesguk took the opportunity to let go of his hands and took a few steps back, his face immediately filled with apology, He explained loudly: “We had a dispute over something just now. I was too impulsive. I apologize to you, Segovani, I hope you can forgive me!”

Segovani rubbed his hand on the red neck, The gloomy gaze pierced Lesguk: “Forgive?! Unless you die!”

He turned around and walked out.

Contruk raised his brows and said dissatisfiedly: “Segovani, some small disputes should not affect our unity, otherwise”

“Shut up, old guy!” Segovani interrupted Contruk’s sermon unceremoniously: “You three, unite yourself, I’m leaving, I will lead my tribal warriors away tomorrow morning, I’ll see how long Beneventum can hold on!” He strode out of the room.

“In the end… what happened?!” Contruk was rarely insulted in person by others, his old face flushed red.

Leskuk looked equally ugly, but he didn’t answer.

But Badani, who had just arrived outside the door, heard the conversation between the three and quietly turned and left.

……………………………………

That night, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Segovani refused to see anyone, and he kept his word, ignoring Leskouk and Kontruk The big chief’s repeated dissuasion led Cautini’s 8,000 soldiers to leave Beneventum early the next morning.

Just as the two chiefs looked at the empty Kautini camp in the city and complained about Segovani’s narrow-mindedness and disregard for the overall situation, bad news came again from the city: the Badani chiefs gathered more than 4,000 people. Pentney warriors, going out of the city through the north gate and returning to their territory.

Lesguk was shocked: Kautini’s army had already left, and Penteneid’s army left again. Even if the Samonei tribe’s coalition was torn apart, there were only less than 7,000 soldiers left in the city, facing 2 outside the city. With more than ten thousand enemies, you are completely at a disadvantage!

So he hurried to the north of the city again, trying to dissuade Badani.

Contruk originally followed, but he slowed down not long after, because he suddenly felt that it might be a good thing for Badani to lead his troops away, as long as he blocked the invasion of the enemy from the east and defended Pentney’s territory. , Calacheney, north of Pentney, is naturally safe.
