Vol 5 Chapter 9: After the Battle of Trionto


During the Peloponnesian War, the Athens army sent an expedition to Sicily, which was eventually defeated by the coalition forces of Syracuse and Sparta and captured more than 6,000 people. At that time, Sparta faced passive beatings on the sea and could not break Athens on land. The embarrassing situation of the long wall, they did not slave to the 6000 prisoners attacking the city of Athens, if Daves did this, even if it opened the first, I am afraid that the words "sinister and brutal" will become his label, not only will it make the big These city-states in Greece are secretly vigilant, and even the Diaonian people who respected him will gradually alienate him. This will undoubtedly be a major blow to the prestige of Davers. Therefore, with the ambitious goal, he certainly does not make the mistake of throwing watermelon and sesame seeds. Anyway, he has already won the game and he doesn't mind taking the time to win the Crimea. Therefore, as soon as the battle was over, he ordered a reserve brigade and more than 5,000 free people to these prisoners and return to Turui, leaving only two legions and two reserve brigades to settle in Castellón.
Compared with last night, the people of Castellón who were pleased with the victory were very happy to vacate the room and prepared a sumptuous dinner, inviting Dionian soldiers to stay. Compared with the Legionnaires who entered the city of Castron, they were equally tired and hungry, and they were also escorted to prisoners. The soldiers who returned to Turui and the free people after an hour or two of nights were much harder. However, the first time I participated in the battle, and it was such a large-scale battle, I was able to win. As a participant, they all had a sigh of glory. Not only did they walk tall, but even the captives were powerful, and they could not return immediately. In the city, find an acquaintance who brags about their heroic deeds.
As the captive, the Crotones were in the most miserable situation. In order to fear them to escape, the whole body armor clothing was dull, and the whole body was naked in the darkness. A sea breeze blew, and they used to run out of body heat. , trembling all the time. Once it was slow, the guns of the smugglers who escorted the soldiers smacked like a whip, and the pain was unbearable.
Kolbus is also a member of the captives. Once he became a prisoner, he also sighed that his fate was not good. However, compared with his comrades who were not fighting or dying, he was glad that he could survive and comfort the crying compatriots. Say: "Daiyan people are abhorrent, but keep their promises. As long as we follow their requirements, we can live back to Crotone!"
Even in the dark, the people of Turi still came out to greet the triumphant triumphant team. After a day of uneasy waiting, they saw the returning soldiers, and there were many more Crotone captives than last time. Understand: The fact that the Dionysian army won the battle is a fact that cannot be doubted!
Unlike Castron, the Turais are more shouting the name of "Davers" to celebrate this hard-won victory because they all know that the Archon is in the Senate. Separate public opinion, triggered this battle in advance, and finally won!
The elders were also relieved, especially Felicius. As the military officer who Dave was appointed to stay in Turui, he did not have a single soldier in his hand. He was always worried: Crotone’s fleet Will know the camouflage and land at the port. Now, the return of the three reserve battalions and the free people has finally made him emboldened. And Crotone has this fiasco, I am afraid that self-protection is still insufficient, and where dare to land in the territory of Dionia.
Kunogora and some of the Tuliyi veterans asked the soldiers about the whole battle. As the Turifs, the Dionysian League defeated Crotone, giving them a thrilling revenge.
This evening, both the citizens who prepared for the battle and the free people were regarded as heroes by the people of Dionia, enjoying the warm cheers and riches of hard work. They were proud and at the same time they became the Daioni. The confidence of Asian citizens.
.....................
The chief general of Crimea, Anta Orris, was sleeping at home and was waking up urgently. He heard the news of the "Croto's army defeated" and he could not believe his ears: Yesterday, He saw the huge fleet of Crotone in the port, the army of nearly 40,000 people (he also included the heavy free people and slaves) - that is a huge number that Greece has never seen before. Army! It should have swept the Dionysian League. How did it take a day for Crotone to lose? ! How can Dionia have more soldiers than Crotone? ! ! Is it Tarantum to fight? ! ! ! ......"
Anta Orris, who had countless doubts in his heart, hurriedly put on his clothes and hurried to the North Gate. Olympus, Pleades and others had already waited there.
Under the light of the fire, I saw the Crotones as the dogs of the family, and they ran from the north. They were vain, sorrowful, full of panic and exhaustion, the helmet was gone, and the breastplate was thrown away. The shield spear didn't know where it was lost. When it fell into the city gate, it lie down on the ground, and screamed in the mouth: "Is there something to eat? Is there something to eat?..."
Seeing the tragedy of the Crotones, Anta Orris suddenly felt worried.
Finally, they waited for the retreat of Milon, although he was also very embarrassed, but the mental state is not bad.
"General Milon, what should I do next?!" Anta Orris eagerly asked, this is exactly what the Crimea people are most concerned about at the moment.
Milon did not answer immediately, but asked: "Is there something to eat? I am starving to death!"
When Anta Orris looked at Milon and the soldiers who fled back and gorged and chewed the cold bread, the heart was more or less devoid of contempt.
At this time, Milon was not in the mood to observe what the Cremesa was thinking. He ate and thought about how to appease the Crimea. After trekking through the swamp, without the enemy's catching up, he gradually recovered his calmness. On the way back, he regretted that he had committed a series of mistakes before the battle because of the enemy, which led to the defeat of the battle. Thinking about how to deal with the winning Dionyrian attack... Corimisa is undoubtedly the most important part of the game!
He wiped the breadcrumbs on his mouth with his hand and stood up to bring the expressions of the people around him into his eyes: "You are... I am sorry, we have the ambush of the Dionys, in the battle with them... suffered Failed, although I don't know how many people have lost... but definitely not less..."
There were countless soldiers struggling in the water in Milon’s mind. He secretly clenched his fists and let his nails slap the palms out of his blood:
And the deaths of the soldiers of the Dionia are much less than ours...

what? ! ! Everyone was shocked: tens of thousands of troops went out, but they only caused a small loss to the Dionyrian army. It was unbelievable that they suffered heavy losses. How do you fight this? ! !

Don't the Daonians send a lot of soldiers, more than ours? Or is Tarantum also involved?
Anta Orris asked urgently.
Milon smiled, he didn't want to confide in the truth, but even if he didn't say it, when the Dionyns arrived, the Crimea would soon find out that it would be dissatisfied with Crotone at that time. Be honest, let Krimisa prepare for the two sides to help each other. Therefore, he said truthfully: "Dyonia should have dispatched a number similar to ours. Tarantum did not participate in the war..."
"Do you all Crotons pinch the flour?! It is always so easy to be defeated by the Diaonians!" Puleades angered.
He took out the voice of the top of the Crimea: the last defeat made it difficult for the Crimea, and the Cremesa messenger finally promised that he would no longer be an enemy of Crimea. Back to those prisoners! This time, Crimea ruined and assisted Crotone in attacking Dionya, who had once let the Crimea a horse. If it fails again, what should Krimysa do?
Milon's big eyes ~EbookFREE.me~ roared in the past. He was a champion of the Olympia Games many times when he was young, and later served as the chief general of Crotone. His own kind of power made Pleaders a little scared. He avoided the sharp eyes of Milon. Strong and courageous said: "If it wasn't for you, Crotone, you must start a war against Dionia, saying, 'It will definitely give Dionya a painful lesson!' We are out of the ally of Crimea. Trust (the last agreement between Crotone and Dionia stated that the Crimea existed as a neutral city-state. But the Crimea was deeply influenced by Crotone, who thought it was Crotone. Allies declared war on Dionya. Now that you have lost, you have lost so badly! Let us know what about Crimea?!"
"That's right, if it's not your coercion, how can we dare to provoke Dionia!" Someone in the crowd echoed loudly.
What is forced! You Crimean people still don't want to follow Crotone, get some benefits from Diaonia! Millon sneered in his heart, but he can't say anything, otherwise it will only intensify contradictions.
"So what do you want? Go to peace talks with Dionya?" Milon looked around and solemnly said: "Denia now has an advantage, they only want more. Davers will After attacking the city of Crimea, will the squad kill the people of Crimea and avenge his mercenary comrades? Will they change the crimis to the Uttum, the sub-state they control? ?"
After Milon finished, the faces of the Crimea people, including Attalus, became unsatisfactory.
"What we can do now is to stick to the city of Crimea! There is no fleet in Dionia. Under the control of the sea, we can always bring food and more soldiers to the fleet. The Dionians can't sleep. Die us!" Milon said with excitement.
