[Chapter 219 Nakonia Tribal Warrior]

However, Contruk did not intend to lead the team away. He decided to follow the ancient tradition of the Samonai tribe alliance, and join the Shilpini tribe to defend Beneventum and advance and retreat together.

…………………………………………

In the mountains in early summer, the soil is still wet, the trees are already lush, and the weeds are growing wildly.

The hot sun pierced through the dense branches and leaves, casting strands of mottled light on the grass of the mountains.

The three Abenerum spies were lying on the ground, slapping the mosquitoes that were biting on their bodies, while looking down closely at the winding mountain road below.

“Look, big brother!” A spy pointed to the front and shouted in surprise.

I saw a lot of birds flying between the mountains to the east, chirping and circling in the air.

“Let’s go and have a look!” The spy called Big Brother also had a happy expression on his face. He stood up, moved his numb thighs, and then took the two of them and ran along the ridge to the east.

It didn’t take long for them to lie down on the mountain again and look down: the mountain road more than 100 meters apart was crowded with densely packed Samonai warriors, who lined up in a long dragon and stretched to the east…

Although the four major tribes The warriors were all about the same outfit, and were too far apart to see the flag, but the experienced Abenerum spies were able to tell that it was Cautini’s army, because the long dragon appeared in the sunlight. There are a lot of reflections, indicating that the armor rate in the team is not low, and among the four major tribes, only Kautini can do it, because they own the eastern plains of Campania. They are the richest tribe, not to mention this one. The direction the troops were heading was Kautim.

“Leader Gaerni is right, the Cautini people really evacuated from Beneventum, we didn’t wait for this day in vain!” The leading spy couldn’t hide the joy on his face.

“But we haven’t found out where the Nakonians are?”

“Of course it’s not clear from this mountain, but I can roughly guess where they are.” The leading scout said confidently, “We haven’t seen Nakonia since their army entered Beneventom. People went out of the city to fight, and they were not even sent to patrol the city. It can be seen that the Kautini people are taking precautions against them. I think they must have walked in the middle of the team… There are 3,000 people, and it is easy to find them. After

them.

You rush back immediately, tell the Garni leader, and say that I, Seduni, have begun to implement the plan… and you, rush to the Dionysian camp in Lola, and tell their commander that we have Contact the Nakonian army…”

“Brother,

you have to be careful!”

“Don’t worry, it’s easy for me to get in by

myself .”

The army marching in the mountains did not always walk on the mountain road like the Dionian army. When the mountains on both sides slowed down, the Samonai army would divide some soldiers to march on the sides of the mountains, which shortened the time. The length of the marching column reduced the possibility of being ambushed, but it was easy for Seduni to sneak into the army.

After sending off the two spies, he patted the dust off his body, carrying a few javelins, and then under the cover of the trees, he dived down the mountain, and then hid in the weeds.

After a short period of listening carefully to the dialogue of the soldiers marching at close range, he stood up decisively, dressed as if he had just finished his briefing, and approached the team walking on the hillside. Because he was wearing the same yellow short-sleeved singlet, plus The marching column of Upper Cautini was not as rigorous as the Dionians, but rather scattered, so he easily blended into the ranks.

Then, after talking to several Nakonian warriors around him without a trace, he decided to go to the leader of the Avangum, the second largest tribe in Nakonia (the reason why he didn’t go to Quindok’s tribe). , because this tribe has been completely broken up by the Segovani and its peoples have been forcibly incorporated into the tribes of Lola and Cesara).

“You said you came from Abenerum?” Vasunk looked at the man who was trying to sneak up on him but was stopped by the guards with a stern face, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

Seduni also noticed his youth, he should be just over 20 years old, according to the tradition of Samone, it is impossible to lead a tribal army in battle, but Segovani imprisoned the various Nakonians. Tribal leaders, letting their young children lead the tribe’s warriors, is for better control.

“In order to prevent some people from seeing, we’d better talk while walking.” Saidum suggested in a low voice.

Vasunk looked around subconsciously, then nodded.

Seduni, disguised as Vasunk’s bodyguard, and the other warriors followed behind Vasunk.

Vasunk couldn’t wait to ask in a low voice: “What happened to Nakonia?! We heard rumors in Beneventum that the Dionysians hated us for killing Hardy in the territory. After the priests and the Dionysian merchants invaded the Naconian territory, they not only killed the wolves of Segovani, but also… also… killed our… our people… but The familiar Kautini warriors have quietly told us that your people are often shouting outside Beneventum, that the Dionians are allied with our people left in the territory… and some others The rumor, which one is true?!”

Seduni did not speak immediately, but took out something from his arms and quietly handed it to Vasunk.

Vasunk’s eyes widened immediately, and he recognized that this was his favorite small wooden sculpture when he was a child.

Seduni looked at his expression and made up his mind: “This is the token your tribal elder asked me to bring to you, and I also have tokens for several other tribal leaders. The real situation is Dionysian. The sub-army drove out the Kautim who were stationed in the city of Nakonia, and formed an alliance with the elders of the tribes of Nakonia to fight against the Samone coalition…”

After Seduni finished speaking, Vasunk did not respond, and the guards next to him were already excited. , and regardless of their life and death, always let them rush to the front… The hearts of these Nakonian warriors have long been burning, but because of the strength of the Samona coalition and the safety of the territorial tribes, they had to endure humiliation. , now is the chance!

Someone also whispered: “That’s great!” The flames of revenge shot out of their eyes, and they stared straight at Vasunk.

Vasunk squeezed the small wooden sculpture in his hand and said in a low voice, “When I get to Kautim, I will quietly send someone to tell the other Nakonian generals…”

…………………… …………

On the day that Segovani led the army to retreat from Beneventoum, Zantiparis, who was in the barracks outside Lora City, had decided to launch an attack on Lora City.

It has been four days since the siege, why is he so urgent to attack the city?

On the one hand, it was because he was worried about the return of the Samone coalition forces, which led to the failure of previous efforts; on the other hand, his siege arrangement was almost completed.

When he first arrived at the city of Lola, Zantiparis carefully observed the plain town of Kautini: Although it is nearly seven meters high and is a stone city, the walls are dilapidated, with large gaps in the stone walls, and some There is even grass growing in the place. The trench outside the city is not too wide. Although there is a simple deer village outside the trench, there are no traps…

Zantiparis estimates that this Kautini town has grown from It has not been attacked, so it has not been well maintained and repaired, which gives him the confidence to break the city in a short time (actually, last year the Cautini invaded Campania and suffered a terrible defeat by Dionysian reinforcements , and the third army entered Tesala, which has already made the towns of Kautini, such as Lola and Cesala, which are closer to Tesala, feeling dangerous. They put “strengthening the defense of the city” on the agenda, but they did not How long after the full-scale war between the Samonaites and Dionia broke out, the young and middle-aged people of Lola were recruited, and the repair of the city wall was delayed).

Zantiparis considered that there were few defenders in the city of Lola, except for the possible enemy reinforcements from the north, other areas were controlled by Dionia and its allies, so he and the head of the Campania army, Aeos After discussing with others, it was decided to build an earth mountain to approach the city wall.

The siege of the earth mountain is a project of the Dionian Legion’s usual military training. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Zantiparis and the soldiers are no strangers. After deciding to build the earth mountain in the south of the city of Lora, and after the engineers surveyed , and set the starting point of the construction at 40 meters away from Nancheng.

So Zantiparis ordered: Most of the soldiers went to the mountains to cut down trees.

At the same time, after receiving the help of Zantiparis, the chief executive of Enona, Adrianx, not only organized several thousand people of Enona, but also sent some administrative officials, who brought three days’ rations and passed the The original trade route, passing through the territory of Nakonia, reached outside the city of Lola.

When the Nakonians learned of the news, they also sent thousands of ethnic groups.

Subsequently, the Campania Alliance also sent tens of thousands of people. In less than two days, more than 30,000 people (including 12,000 coalition soldiers) gathered in the Dionysian coalition camp.

Zantiparis made such a plan for the construction of the Tushan: He first left 2,000 Campania heavy infantry to guard the camp to prevent the enemy from sneaking out of the city. , a six-meter-high wooden fence, and then 200 soldiers erected this row of wooden fences 30 meters away from the city wall of Lola South, with a length of 70 meters, to resist the javelins and arrows fired by the enemy at the head of the city. At the same time, there are 300 Dionysian heavy infantry on both sides and rear of Mucha at any time to prevent the enemy from going out of the city and destroying it.
