Vol 5 Chapter 18: City trap

Before the messenger in Crotone had not arrived, Milon had already heard from the warships cruising on the coast of Crimea: the Dionias invaded the Croton Plains!
Milon was shocked and screamed: When they were on the Dionyrians, it’s no wonder that they never attacked the city. It just attracted my attention. The Dionians in the southern camp had already gone south!
However, to attack the southern camp of Dionia, he hesitated: after all, the army of Dionia was under the city. Once they mobilized the army, they saw it clearly on the high platform. If they attacked, they would lose grams. Rimisa, the trouble is even bigger!
........................
The siege warfare of Asprostum was in full swing, and Fagris did not expect the Diaonians to storm as soon as they came up, not afraid of death~EbookFREE.me~ Pavilion WwW. OmegakanΩshuge. La
The ladder was turned over by the putter and quickly caught up. The soldiers climbed up the ladder one by one, the former one was squatted, and the latter one did not hesitate to accelerate. The light infantry brigade arrived near the city, not afraid of the arrow, but also fired javelin and arrows on the city's defenders...
The fierce offensive of the Dionyrians soon achieved results. The defense of the wall was repeatedly broken. The soldiers of the Dionys went to the city. The defenders discovered the bodies of the Dionia soldiers wearing Greek armor. Tall, strong, long-haired shawl, weird, obviously not Greek. They fight fiercely and have great power. They want to kill or drive away one of them. The defenders have to pay the lives of several soldiers.
Fagris had to send a reserve team several times to help the frontline defenders to rush the enemy on the city, especially the rightmost wall section, which was the most violent place for the Dionyrians to attack.
General Fagris, who has some experience in defending the city, knows that the Diaonians can't always maintain such a fierce offensive momentum. As long as they pass this, the Dionyns can't do anything about it. So while he sent the reserve team in full, he shouted loudly at the soldiers and encouraged them to bravely fight.
But he didn't know that at the most twisted moment of the battle, under the command of the third army figure under the city, Sironi Moss, his guards lined up in a row, collectively swaying the left side of the city. shield.
The left-most defender in the city is concentrating on defending the enemy's offense, and suddenly there is a shouting out: "Offensive!!!"
The "Crotone people" who they regarded as comrades-in-arms slashed their swords and guns and easily solved the defenders. They did not wait for the soldiers of the Third Army. The dozens of reconnaissance soldiers immediately launched the troops to the neighbors. attack……
When Fagris, who was also commanding the battle on the right side of the city, got news, the Dionysian soldiers had captured the left side of the city. A large number of soldiers quickly climbed the city, turned into the aisle, and slammed into the middle section...
The Crotones, who were not morally high, looked bad and immediately dropped the shield spear and desperately ran to the city.
This run immediately induced a domino effect. Under the attack of the front and side of the Dionysian soldiers, the defenders finally collapsed. They rushed to escape the city, but they blocked the walkway in the lower city. The panicked defending soldiers actually jumped directly from the seven-meter-high wall to the city, broke their legs and legs, and broke their heads. They all lie on the ground and mourn.
The people in the city were equally frightened and shouted in horror: "The enemy has entered the city! The enemy has come in!!..."
They helped the old and the young, and hurriedly tried to escape the South Gate and fled to Crotone.
Halfway through the Crotone inner reinforcements, they rushed into the hurriedly fleeing people, and learned that the city of Asprostum had fallen, was shocked, did not dare to move forward, and immediately turned around and ran back.
........................
The Crotone envoy rushed to Crimea to bring the offensive command of the council.
Milon, who was not the chief general, but was sinned, finally ended his hesitation and sent 7,000 soldiers, including more than 2000 infantry, to attack the Dionya camp on the south bank of the Wembley River.
Daves, who observed the enemy's movements on the high platform, immediately let the second corps leader, Adrians, lead the 2000 heavy infantry, 500 light infantry, cross the river to reinforce the third army map, and station the first army in Nanying. 2000 soldiers led by the captain of Tonys. With a strong camp and a reinforcement of the North Camp, Matonis has the confidence to repel these numerous enemies.
However, Crotone's offense was thunderous and rainy. After eating a small loss of traps such as "nails and stabs" and "hanging hooks" before the camp, he immediately retreated to the city. Milon certainly won't take the only combative team in Crotone to touch the heavily guarded camp in Dionia, and the soldiers lack the courage to attack. When the enemy in the camp is defensively tight, he will The military number of the retreat was blown.
The Crotonian messenger was angry at the easy retreat of the troops and forced Milon to continue his attack, otherwise he threatened to lift Milon’s leading position. However, the soldiers expressed their support to Milon, and the messenger was alone, but he left the Crimea and returned to the Crotone Chamber of Deputies.
However, at this time, the Crotone Neighbourhood was in a mess. The amazing news that "Diaonia won Asprostum" was like a clear sky, and all the members of the council were stunned. The people outside the chamber gathered in the square, clamoring for the council to quickly come up with a solution to the crisis.
This time, the voice of the peace talks was far better than before, and some even said that they can accept the conditions of Dionia, as long as the northern plains of Croton restore peace.
Just as the council was still arguing about the peace talks, two successive incidents prompted them to finally make a decision: first, when the 500 soldiers of the third legion of the Dionya pursued the remnants, they crossed the Tacinati. The river, entering the core area of ​​the Croton Plains, was once close to Crotone, although it quickly returned to Asptum. But this glimpse of the glimpse still shocked the defenders and the people in the city. Just as the whole city was in panic, a passenger ship from Cologne entered the port of Crotone, and the Coordinian messenger from the boat brought a bigger bad news - Locke Cologne declares war! Its army has already advanced to Cologne, and the messenger came to Crotone for help.
The most worrying thing about the Crotone House Council finally happened: the deadly enemy Locke, while Crotone was in the quagmire of war, attacked Crotone’s allies, and Crotone, the lord, sent the reinforcements to be duty-bound. The matter, but at this moment, the attack on Dioria has already made Crotone’s manpower unsatisfactory. Where is the extra force to help Coulenania, without the support of Crotone, Cullenha is It is impossible to block the attack of the Lockley coalition forces, which means that Crotone will face the worst war situation of the enemy, and Crotone will be in danger of being destroyed!
All members of the council immediately stopped the quarrel and quickly reached an agreement: to reach peace talks with Dionia as soon as possible!
Lucias had to set off again, in order to prevent his attitude from being too tough, leading to the failure of the negotiations. There was another messenger with him - the member of the council, Sis Protus (that was, before saying "Daily What conditions of Nyati, as long as they can restore the peace of the Croton Plain, should be promised.
.....................
At this moment, in the big army of the Dionya camp, there is a happy atmosphere. The news that the "third army captured the city of Asprostum" made every officer feel excited.
"Commander, we should take advantage of the astonished and flustered Aspirus and Crotones, and attack the Crimea, and surely win it!" Drax It is eager to say that as the head of the Second Legion, the ranks of his troops cannot fall behind the Third Corps.
"The city of Asprostum has been owned by us. It is not very meaningful for the Crotones to stick to the Crimea. I am afraid they will soon give up the city of Crimea. We can easily get it. There is no need to sacrifice the lives of soldiers to attack," Capps said cautiously.
"But letting the more than a thousand Crotones retreat will only increase the difficulty of our attack on Crotone's city!" Drax retorted.
Capps was a word. Indeed, Crotone is a big city. Not only is the city a large area, it has a large population, and the city wall is as high as ten meters, and the moat is also six meters wide. According to the conventional style of play, it is destined to be a prolonged siege war. The ocean is not in the control of Dionia, and it is impossible to completely block Crotone. Then there is only a strong attack, but how much does it cost to face such a strong big city? The life of the soldier? Can you take it down? Almost all the officials are playing drums. If the strength of the defending city is strengthened, then the odds are even more embarrassing. ~EbookFREE.me~Daves is calm, and turns to ask: "Avianogis, what do you think we should do next?

After entering the military account, in addition to congratulating Davers for winning again, Avianojis, who had been silently observing, faced the eyes of Dracos and Capus, and did not deny it. He said directly: "Why are we Must attack the city of Crotone? Since we have such a big advantage now, why can't we force the Crotones to talk with us?"
"The Crotones are almost out of date. It is not too cheap for them to talk to them!" Drax immediately objected.
Capps was lost in thought.
The corner of Daphus’s mouth is a smile: the angle of the consul’s consideration of the problem is different from that of a simple general!
He was about to talk, and the captain of the guard, Martius, asked for the entry and brought two letters.
One from Felicius, Davers read the letter, his eyebrows wrinkled, thoughtful. Then I saw the second letter with a special mark - this is a letter written by Aristilas, and he quickly stretched his eyebrows again.
