Vol 9 Chapter 144: Thessaly joins the battle


After thinking about it, Asidamas said, "Since Dionysia invaded Mesonia, I spent time investigating Dionya in detail and found that the kingdom of the Western Mediterranean was actually in control. All the coastal forces in the Western Mediterranean have become the well-deserved overlord of the Western Mediterranean! In the last two wars, this kingdom sent 100,000 troops, six or seven hundred warships, and was able to maintain the offensive for more than half a year. Amazing!
And Dionysia evolved from a small city-state to the present kingdom 20 years ago, ushered in through continuous wars and annexation. It cannot be just to help Thebes to fight against Sparta in Greece. The ultimate goal must be the whole of Greece!
My opinion is... either you send an emissary to Turri to fight for an alliance with Dionia to preserve the independence of Thessaly; or you go to call the messengers of Athens who stay in the city to join the Greek alliance, This can gather the power of the whole Greece and repel the Dionysians! "
Speaking of which, Asidamas looks dignified: "I lean towards the previous suggestion, because I don't think that a temporary patchwork alliance can defeat a kingdom that has grown stronger in constant battle."
"Asidamas, you have always been careful." Jason suddenly stood up and said aloud: "I choose your last suggestion! You are right, Dionia wants to conquer the whole Greece, it is impossible for us to stay outside and preserve our strength. The war will eventually burn to the land of Thessaly. It is better to take this opportunity to gather the power of all Greece and fight with Dionysia!
I thought that when the Hippo Wars, only half of the castles in Greece united and could repel Persia. This time, with the addition of our Thessaly, Dionysia is not as powerful as Persia. Can’t we beat them? ! Let's first join forces with the city-states in the south and defeat Dionysia with all our strength. Then we will compete with Athens and Thebes for the Greek hegemon. What do you think? ! "
Asidamas looked at some excited Jason, and was not surprised by the choices he made, because with his knowledge of the Tagus, it was almost impossible for Jason to be aggressive and aggressive. The concession strategy, but he also had to remind: "If a coalition is formed, the primary and secondary must be separated, just like the Spartan was the leader in the Hippo war -"
"Of course, I am Cesari to be the leader and command all the coalition forces!" Jason said decisively, without concealing his ambitions: "Sparta has declined, the army of Athens is not good, although Thebes fights Won the battle with Sparta, but the number of their soldiers is not enough (he still does not know that Thebes remains neutral)...Only I Cesari can build a force of more than 40,000 people, and the combat strength is very strong, our fleet The number of warships is also more than one hundred, surpassing Athens. We are strong and powerful. We don’t become the leader of this alliance, who dares to do it?"
Becoming the leader of the Greek Union, although only temporary, but as long as you win this battle, it will inevitably greatly improve the position of Cesari in the Greek city-state, so that the people of Cesari will raise their eyes and exhale. The populations of Athens and Sparta are called "barbarians", so it is not only Jason who has this intention, but Asidamas is also optimistic about its success.
So, he suggested: "Adult, we can use this as a prerequisite for joining the alliance and negotiate with the angels of Athens, but first invite him to review our Cesari's army."
"Asidamas, you and I want to go together again!" Iason applauded and smiled with confidence in his face: "I will go to gather my army, and in the afternoon you will bring the angel of Athens to the barracks outside the city. "
............................................................
On the second day of the Battle of Taglia, Croto Kataks led the army to repair near the sanctuary of Hercules in the southeast of Tagia (formerly Spartan Union Camp), and dispatched 5,000 soldiers to Tens of thousands of captives returned to Mesenia, most of them people in the city of Tegea, they will be sent back to Turi, or become slaves, sent to mining, or sold by the public (Greek slaves) The Tuliyi slave market is still relatively popular. First, it is of high cultural quality, smart and easy to learn, and easy to communicate; second, it can meet the display of the colonials of Dionysia Greek citizens to their motherland.)
As a result, the city of Taglia was almost empty, temporarily occupied by 1,000 Dionysian soldiers.
In addition, at the request of Tigtinos, almost 3,000 soldiers of the 7th Legion, which had not suffered any loss, quickly went south early in the morning to go to blockade the border between Tegya and Sparta and intercept the Spartan defeat.
In the afternoon, the 2,000 soldiers and a messenger sent by Mandinia finally rushed to the new barracks in Dionia, eagerly expressing to Crotocatax: Mandinia is willing to accept his proposal and take over Thailand. Gea.
At the same time, they also hope to enter into a secret agreement with Dionia to form a closer alliance and fully support Dionysia’s military operations in Greece.
The Mandinians are not fools. Although they covet the land of Taglia, they also know that they are weak. Once such a move is made, they will be inevitably squeezed and suppressed by other Greek city-states, and may even be war. Throughout Dionysia’s credibility with the Allies in the past has been very good, so if they want to completely annex this land, they must hold Diony’s thighs tightly.
Therefore, 500 of the 2000 Mandinian soldiers are preparing to stay in the city of Tegea, and the remaining 1500 are to follow the command of the Dionysian army and participate in the subsequent military operations to show the Mandinians Sincerity.
Crotocatax achieved his goal. He was very happy to discuss with the envoy of Mandinia, and soon signed an alliance that excluded Arcadia, limited to Dionysia and Mandinia. Secret military covenant.
………………………………………………………
At the same time, Agassius, the king of Sparta, led the remnant army still trekking in the mountains.
Before the battle, Mr. Agassi had the psychological preparation to defeat the war. He made two plans:
One is that the Dionysian army, like the Thebes, withdrew their troops after the victory of the battle, then he can retreat to the camp first, and after a little rectification, then lead some of the army mainly composed of Spartan soldiers, quietly southward at night Withdraw to the territory;
Second, the Dionysian army took advantage of the chase and forced the Spartan army into the mountains. Judging from the previous Dionysian battles, this possibility is very high, so he secretly notified Sparta, who is familiar with the terrain. The soldiers, once this happens, they will converge in the Perragos jungle and then withdraw to the territory.
But he never imagined that after the victory of the Dionysian army, after the defeated forces were forced into the mountains by chasing, part of the army was continued to pursue. These Dionysian soldiers (actually the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade) ran flat in the mountains, and were good at hiding and sneaking, forcing the Spartan defeaters with low morale because of the defeat to disperse in the mountains, including Agassi Rolls himself, if not the soldiers of the King's Guard desperately rescued, he almost fell into the hands of the Dionysian soldiers.
It didn't take long for the night to fall, it was difficult to discern the direction in the mountains, and to avoid the beasts, so until the noon of the second day, the Spartan collapsed one after another and gathered near the Perragos jungle.
In the afternoon, there were less than 1,000 soldiers assembled, and most of them were Piriasi. After all, the Spartan soldiers fought on the first line in the battle, and later the entire right wing was again met by the Dionysian reserve forces. It is undoubtedly much more difficult for the Spartan fighters in a semi-encircled state to escape smoothly.
More importantly, Agsi Laws did not see his son Akida Dams appear, and he was unable to express his concerns, but he knew that he could not wait any longer, otherwise the soldiers who had no food to eat had not returned. The territory must be starved to death in the mountains first.
So he resolutely gave the order to "start", and refused to support the guard, walking with his cane, stumbling in the front of the line.
Under his encouragement, the tired and hungry soldiers could only follow closely.
Due to the failure to retreat in time last night, during the daytime, in their current condition, they dare not march near the Tagia Plain, otherwise they will be a disaster once discovered by the Diorian scout, so they can only be in the mountains Trek, which means that the time to return home will be greatly extended...
…………………………………………………………,
On the third day, Crotokatax left 2,000 soldiers at the camp. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com. More than 2,000 wounded soldiers were treated and recuperated in the camp, bringing together 15,000 Dionysian soldiers and 1500 A Mandinian soldier marching south.
Soon after leaving the camp, he met the herald sent by Tigtinos.
what? ! The 1st Fleet has occupied Sparta? ! ...Kloto Kataks repeatedly read this report, signed by Seclion, with amazed expression on his face.
It turned out that after Tegtinos led 3,000 soldiers to the Spartan border yesterday, he did not catch many defeats. Later, after repeated requests from the soldiers of the ardent legions, he finally decided to send two companies to enter Spartan. Reach the territory and explore the truth and reality.
There is a continuous mountain range from Tegea to Sparta City, and the best way to go is a narrow passage formed by the Yorotas Valley. Since the Dionysian army captured Mesonia, Sparta has felt a great threat. Under the proposal of Agsi Laos, the Spartans not only concentrated on building defensive facilities on the south coast, but also A small defensive camp was built on the northern part of the Urotas Valley and the other two main roads.
