Vol 6 Chapter 76: The first battle of Syracuse (2)


As for the rumor that "Diaonia also owns a cannon", he does not believe that Locke has not been able to create such a powerful siege weapon for hundreds of years. How can the Dionysian League of the year have it! (The fourth legion of the Dionia attacked Kna Petia with a smashing gun. Because of its remoteness, there are not many people known. The Trina people know, but at the request of the Dionyns, they Try to keep this secret)
"Closer! Closer!..." Dio Pantos excitedly urged the Syracuse to move the rifle forward, for which the entire army was moving forward. He wants to make the bombardment of the guns more precise, and to smash the walls that the Diaonians have worked hard to make them nowhere to hide! He wants to watch them under the impact of the stone bombs, panic hiding around, or being forced to leave the camp and come out to fight.
Although Dionysius gave Faxi Pesas and his orders to contain the Dionian army in Cologne, but if there is a good chance, Diopantos certainly does not mind defeating them, breaking the wear The Onyrian army has not yet lost its record in the Great Greece, and has gained greater honor for itself.
The Syracuse gunner looking at the front put a heavy stone bomb into the cannon, and Diopantos looked forward to the camp of Dionia, and then he was surprised to see ten black spots from the enemy camp. Flying out, and whizzing into the Rocky array...
"弩炮!!" Dio Pantos died, and with his exclamation, there were countless screams in the team.
Because the stone bomb is fallen by a large arc, the killing power is not too big, but the effect is too amazing. The hand is broken, the leg and leg are folded, and the head is flat. If the shield is used to block, the shield is broken. Die. Such a horrible phenomenon, how can we not let the Rocky soldiers who have never experienced the smashing of guns and chills, the morale suddenly dropped by half.
When the team was panicking, Dionya's second wave of stone strikes came again, and the Rocky soldiers panicked around and the whole formation became confused.
"Retracting! Going back!!" The stone bombs continued to fall, and one fell near Diopantos, scaring him to take care of the Syracuse gun in front and rushed to order.
After the retreating military number sounded, the east, west, and south gates of the Dionysian West Camp suddenly opened at the same time, and the soldiers who had already prepared were quickly and orderly. The cavalry charged in the front, followed by the light infantry, the light armor, and finally the heavy infantry. Although they were destined to be unable to catch up with the enemies who fled, they could be forced to fight against the opposing forces to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.
The Rocky Army, which has been smashed by the fallen stone, has a low morale, and the array of broken Rocky troops is tumbling back and forth, seeing the entire army of Dionia, the black pressure (because of the color of weapons and equipment), the impetuous direction They rushed, and Dio Pantos lost control of the army even if he had a heart to fight back, and the soldiers did not have the courage to fight, and rushed to run backwards.
Sobercos led the cavalry and pursued the enemy from the outside with the belief of revenge for his comrades.
Instead of using spears, the Dionysian cavalry slammed the horse and made the scattered squad more scattered, making it impossible to reorganize. When the thousand cavalry were crushed for a while, the horse itself also instinctively slowed down, and Sobekos saw the squadron gradually becoming sparse, decisively raising the spear and constantly drawing in the air.
"Catch them east!" Sobercos shouted. Under his command, the cavalry began to separate to the left and right, pulling out an arc and starting to drive the squadron eastward. The light infantry and light armor also cooperated with the cavalry.
Most of the Rocky's squadrons, like headless flies, were driven by the Denia soldiers, unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and fleeing only in the direction of least stress.
At this time, the Syracuse troops in the Dongying area were also bombarded by the Dionian guns without any precautions, but the experienced Syracuse people did not panic, and soon stabilized their positions and withdrew. After a certain distance, they began to use the rifle to fight back. The two sides were in a confrontational state. The squadron of Locke came to the tide and suddenly smashed the left wing of the Syracuse.
How can Dracos in the camp let go of this great opportunity and immediately order: the whole army attack!
The Fifth Army soldiers quickly rushed out of the camp.
Faxi Pesas saw the situation is not good, decisively ordered: retreat.
The Syracuse army quickly withdrew, while trying to maintain a fairly holistic queue, rudely smashing the scattered Rocky Crush.
The Dionysian cavalry and the fourth soldier continued to pursue the five or six miles until the enemy’s enemy’s enemies came forward, and Epiphanis ordered the return of the troops because he was impressed by the fierce cavalry in Syracuse. Worried that the soldiers who are already exhausted and dispersed have suffered. In fact, the Syracuse cavalry and the hiring cavalry had already gone to Hiberian with Dionysius, and it was only the Rocky cavalry that appeared here.
The fifth legion without the help of the cavalry, under the supervision of Dracos, had been chasing the lightest armor of the best running, and the legs and legs were soft, and the sound of the troops was blown.
On the way back to the city, Dio Pantos, who lost his helmet and disarmed, encountered Fasipeus, who was in a bad mood in the first battle, and screamed for a roar...
This is the first time that the Denia guns were used in the field, and the unrecognized Xiluo coalition was caught off guard. The rifle itself killed dozens of people, but it caused the panic of the Rocky army, created conditions for the surprise of the Fourth Army of the Republic of Denia, and the surprise of the Fourth Army and the subsequent experience of driving the squadron caused the Greek The great defeat of the Silo coalition.
In this battle, the Silo coalition had more than 1,000 casualties, including more than 500 captured prisoners, mainly Lockley soldiers, and it was a big victory for the Dionysian southern line.
.................................
Late night received Trina's urgent help, and Assisi was shocked.
Assisi can become the acting chief executive of Knapetia. In fact, Daves was rich in administrative experience in the mountains of Lucania and has rich military experience. As Knapetia, the manager of the border city of the southern part of the city of Dionia, who is mostly a Brutus, and who is fighting for the Senate, because he is not a veteran, he can only act as an agent. The Chief Executive is appointed as the Chief Executive, but with the experience of serving as the Chief Executive of the City, he laid the foundation for the election of Assisi to the Senate next year.
After taking office, Isistics used the experience learned in the Lucania region to effectively alleviate the ethnic conflicts between the Brutus and the new Greeks in Knapetia, using Knapetia’s Geographically, vigorously develop trade with Trinida and other South Italian allies, and improve the living conditions of the originally poor Knapetia, making Kna Petia a stable political situation in recent years, without disappointing Duffus Expectation.
At this time, the news that "Syracuse people approached Trina in such a short period of time" made his heart very uneasy. He knows more about the Nanyi Alliance’s operational plan: Trina, Crotone, and Xiliting jointly defend against the West Coast Passage, preventing the Syracuse army from invading the South African Union territory, for the main force of the Dionyrian Go all out to win time.
Originally, Isisters estimated that the civic soldiers of the three city-states of Crotone, Xiliting, and Trina add up to more than 30,000 people, plus the wide river and deep river bottom. This natural barrier of the Tuo River should not be a big problem if it is kept for ten or twenty days. And once the soldiers are nervous in the later period, the soldiers in the entire Bruti area can also help in time.
But he did not expect that the Syracuse people would come so fast, far beyond the speed at which most Greek city-state forces mobilized, assembled and marched. Of course, the Syracuse army has already mobilized and assembled, but it is possible for such a large army to complete Trina from landing to march in three days, enough to see the Sicilian dictator Dionysius preparing for this war. Fullness and determination!
Can you give out your aid? The reason why Assisi hesitated was because Davis wrote a letter to him a few days ago, and repeatedly reminded him in the letter: to strengthen the city defense and strengthen the defense, once the Syracuse broke through the line of defense, he must Everything you can do, keep Knapetia, and don't let the Syracuse people step into the blue line of Bruce!
But Trina has a close relationship with Dionya! Not to mention their strong support for Diaonia in the South Italian League, and the two cities of Knapetia and Trina are very close, trade is frequent, and the relationship is very good. If you can't save yourself, I am afraid that it will destroy the Trina's good impression of Diaonia, and it will also undermine the good business that the Union of Teonia has established in Great Greece in the past few years!
After Assisi thought about it~EbookFREE.me~ finally made up his mind.
He made a promise to Trina's messenger: Hades was on the scene, and he will lead the Knapetia reinforcements to Trina tomorrow morning!
After sending away the grateful messenger, Asistics decided to write a letter to Hilos, who was just the chief executive of Cosenza, telling him about the new movements of the Syracuse army and his own concerns, and asking him for help. He believes that the former Captain of Daves will make the right choice!
After writing, he let his confidant take the letter and set off immediately, and starry night to Cosenza. Then, he called the patrol captain who had just fallen asleep and asked him to inform the preparatory soldiers of the Fifth Corps to gather at the square tomorrow morning.
After doing these things, Asistics returned to his bedroom with physical and mental exhaustion.
His wife, Tina, hasn't slept yet. She sees her husband's heart, and asks in Greek to care: "What happened?"
