Vol 5 Chapter 10: Soldiers under the city

"Our Crotone has failed in the battle, but at least I can organize another 10,000 to 20,000 civic soldiers. If Dionia wants to attack the city, we will definitely give them a heavy blow! By then, Dionia will attack No, we can only ask for peace talks, and we will take the initiative. We may also find some offensive opportunities to defeat the Deonians during the defense of the city of Crimea!"
After Milon finished, everyone fell into meditation.
Olympus said: "So, the city of Crimea will become a battlefield again."
This sentence awakened the top of the Crimea, but Milon quickly said: "Yes, Castellón is the key to the next war, but the defender will be the Crotone soldier, card. If the people of Strombo feel that it is dangerous, they can go to Crotone to escape by boat. We will provide them with a good life guarantee until the end of the war and return. If there is a loss of houses and property in the city, Crowe Tone will also make compensation..."
Milon was very thoughtful, so that everyone had nothing to say, and his words were also implicitly reminding these people: Castroon can be all Crotone soldiers, even if they want to go with Diony Yahe talk, you have to ask the shield spear in the hands of Crotone soldiers to disagree, angered Crotone, the situation will only be worse!
"General Milon, Crimea will fully support you in this battle with Dionia!" Anta Orris quickly made a clear statement on behalf of the council.
........................
The next morning, Duffus and two legions and two reserve brigades, a total of about 16,000 people (this refers to the number of combat soldiers, excluding engineering camps, medical camps, 辎 heavy camp, cavalry, trumpeter drummers) Etc.) Entering the city of Crimea.
In the morning, the Dionysian army arrived in the marshes.
Dafos left a military corps' engineering battalion to investigate the geographical situation of the swamp, fill the swamp as soon as possible, build roads, and build bridges on the Lakoel River to facilitate the smooth passage of future transport fleets. Castron - the things on the Crimea Avenue are taken into account. In order to prevent attacks by the Crotones, he also left two reserve brigades to build a camp here, in addition to protecting the engineering camp and the Castelon people involved in the construction, but also to protect this transport line.
Then, Davers took the lead and walked through the swamps with the soldiers.
In the afternoon, the Dionysian army entered the territory of Crimea.
At this time, more than 5,000 soldiers in Crotone, on the wall of the Crimea, have been waiting.
Davers rode down to the city of Crimea and observed it for a while, giving up the idea of ​​an immediate attack and ordered the camp.
The captain of the Legion's siege battalion immediately rushed to ask Davers about the camp's requirements. Davers pointed to the city of Crimea and said, "First enclose it from the north."
The captain of the engineering battalion would like to immediately lead the engineering technicians to look at the topography, the water source, calculate the camp area according to the number of troops, etc., and select the site for the camp. Not long after, he took his hand at a distance of 400 meters from the city and began to insert a thin wooden pole every 20 meters...
The captains of Capps and Drax were ordered. In addition to the two brigades responsible for the alert and the cavalry of Ledes, the rest of the soldiers immediately became construction workers, some were responsible for logging, and some were responsible for digging trenches. Some are responsible for the foundation wall... The entire army is working in an orderly manner, and even Davers takes the crossbow to participate in the excavation...
Milon noticed on the wall that the Dionysian army did not immediately attack the city, and that he was somewhat fortunate in disappointment. But then, the scene of the construction of the camp in the Dionysian army was so lively and spectacular. The camp was so close to the city that he was so unexpected. He couldn’t help but think of an attack: out of town.
However, the two teams of Dionia, armed with heavy infantry, and the cavalry who squatted under the city, let him dispel the idea. He did not think that the Crotone soldiers who had just experienced defeat had the courage to leave the city, and the number of people. Many Dionyns are engaged in field battles.
He could see that the Dionyns wanted to trap Castron, but as long as he could delay the time, he raised his hands to support the other side.
The construction of the Diaonians is very efficient. At dusk, they had dug a trench that spanned three miles, built a wall of soil, and wrapped the east, west, and north of Castelón. Now, some soldiers set up deer villages in front of the trenches, and some set up camps in the earthen walls... The original engineering camp's brakes have quick-disassembled and assembled timber, which can quickly build camp gates, whistle buildings and fences (this is Dave The
modular
proposal put forward by the engineering camp, after repeated trials by engineers and carpenters, was not able to be transported to the Crimea in time because the car in the marshes was extremely vulnerable to mud.
Even so, Miron was amazed that he certainly would not know that there was a
building camp
in the military training program in Dionia. Seeing the soldiers' more nervous and uneasy look, he finally made up his mind.
When it was late into the night, he decided to send the 500 soldiers to the camp when they were marching for a long time and building the camp to get tired. Even if it was only a small enemy, it would also boost the downturn. Morale.
According to the observation of the warships at sea during the day, the northern part of the Camp of Dionia also dug trenches. Miron was afraid to land from the coast on the north side of the Camp of Dionia. Once found, he could not return, so he chose to camp on the south side. The side of the sea.
500 Crotone soldiers quietly approached the Camp of Dionia, and when they were carefully passing through the Luzhai area, they were found hiding behind the earthen wall by the light of the torch inserted in the earth wall. He quickly touched back. Camp, quietly wake up the captain, and another wake up the other people in the camp.
"Larris, you are doing very well! Now, with your nameplate, you rush to the back camp, inform the cavalry, there is an enemy here!" Captain Krupps praised the recruit who is still a citizen, and will An egg-sized statue of a three-headed dog with a legion, company, and detachment was handed over to him.
"Follow!" Larry turned and ran out.
Klipps let his men continue to inform other detachments and company captain Trotillas, and he took several soldiers to the wall to check the situation and found that the number of enemies was not too much, so he had an idea.
Crotone soldiers rushed through the Luzhai area, climbed through the ditch, turned over the base, and saw the enemy camp still no movement, could not help but get excited. They began to ignite the firelights that were carried around, and there was still a distance between the enemy's camp and the wall, and they carefully continued to speed up.
Suddenly, the soldier who walked in front suddenly sank at the soles of his feet, and the bottom of his feet was immediately pierced by sharp objects, and he could not help but scream. It turned out that after the barriers, the Diaonians also set up obstacle zones. When the enemy broke through the camp wall, they could block the speed of the enemy's breakthrough, so as to rearrange the defense and counterattack.
As the enemy fell into a panic, the Dionian soldiers ran out from behind the camp and threw intensive javelin at the Crotone soldiers. Many people screamed and fell, and the rest of the soldiers had the courage to fight. Frightened and turned to escape...
The Dionyns continue to pursue through the safe passage of the obstacle belt.
In the quiet late night, the killing sound was exceptionally clear, and Davers was woken up and quickly dressed, just as the guard captain Martius came to report: "Report, Commander, Croto, sneak attack, The third corps of the Second Legion repelled, and the cavalry of Ledes had already attacked, believing that the enemy could not run."
Davers nodded, and immediately showed the distribution map of the various regiments, brigades, and company in the camp: "The third corps of the Second Legion is the squad of Gio Gris... I remember his battalion was placed in the camp. To the east, by the position of the estuary."
"Yes, the commander is an adult."
"Gio Gris's battalion performed very well, strictly implemented the "Military Law" sentry duty system, and after discovering the enemy, the response was rapid and should be rewarded! The sentinel who found the enemy in time should be rewarded!" Daves turned back to just The clerk Aris Docrates, who came here, said.
Aristotle is busy recording it and will report it to the military judge tomorrow.
"How about the situation of other brigades?" Davers asked ~EbookFREE.me~ All the brigades were notified in time, and did not cause big movements. "Martius replied.
Davers was very satisfied with the smooth and orderly communication of the troops in the dark. The strict training played a role on weekdays. He laughed: "Crottone wants to learn us to conduct a sneak attack, but we are not Crotone. Everyone goes to sleep, raises the spirit, and has a busy tomorrow." After that, he turned into the tent and quickly fell asleep.
Martius spoke a few words with the guards guarding the big account and left.
Only the heart of Aristocratic, who was on the battlefield, was still difficult to calm down. He stared at the burning brazier before the big account and stayed for a while. When the night comes, it is necessary to erect the brazier before the top commander of the camp. It is the provision of the Daonian Military Law. According to Daves’ explanation: the first is to report the situation at night, and the second is to attack the night. When an accident such as a squadron occurs, the soldiers in the chaos can find the commander at a glance, which is convenient for stabilizing their morale and reorganizing the troops. All in all, the commander is the morale and hope of the whole army. In the dark, the soldiers can see the commander's big account anytime and anywhere, helping to eliminate their fear of darkness.
Listening to the big bill, Daves snorted and the body felt the heat from the fire basin. The nervousness in Aris Docrates' heart was quickly dissipated...
Out of the city of 500 people, only a few dozen escaped the interception of the Dionysian cavalry and fled back to the city.
After Milon knew it, he stayed for a long time. The seemingly rudimentary and unfinished camp of the Dionys was so strict and unexpected. This lesson led him to finally throw away the last trace of luck and admit from the bottom of his heart: this one of Diaonia The army is a well-trained army!
He decided not to take the risk and defend the city of Crimea.
