Vol 6 Chapter 84: Working together

Felicius did not speak. In his mind, he also felt that it was possible to force a Syracuse who had only half of his military strength to fight here. The reason why I have not agreed, is to follow the inertia of Daves's will for a long time.
Anthanos thought for a moment and said slowly: "According to my understanding of Davers, even if he feels that there is a high possibility of defeat here, he will take the initiative to fight this."

Why?
said Felicius.
Ansitas looked at the citizens of the Silitine who were holding weapons in the distance square and said, "Shen the victory can win the fear of the great Greeks. Failure can also win the hearts of the great Greeks. But as it is now." In the case that everyone expects, we will do nothing and only let the alliances deviate. The lost land can be retaken, and the people can be lost. It is much harder to get it again..."
"But... If this battle fails, Cullenia, Trina, and even the West Chamber may be in danger." Felicius is still hesitating.
"Daveus is not arranged long ago! What are you worried about?!" Ansitanos smiled and looked into the distance: "Maybe Daves had expected this day... since the people in the house If you dare to make such a decision, then you have to bear the cost of failure..."
When Ansitanos finished, he stood up and patted the dust on his body. He stopped looking at the people of the West Chamber in the city. He sighed and said something that made Felicius not quite understand: "It is like Burning wasteland, only burning the weed trees, is suitable for starting to sow new seeds... Hey, this is politics."
..........................................
The two returned to the venue, and Felicius agreed with the proposal of the people - to fight with the Syracuse, but he made a request: the command of the entire battle belongs to Dionia.
In this regard, Pletinis, Assisias, Asopias have no objection, only Ascamas expressed disagreement, but whether it is the number of soldiers or the performance of the army, the fourth of Dionia, The Fifth Army was far better than Crotone's newly formed troops, so the final election was that Filipinos deservedly became the commander of the entire South Italian coalition.
Felicius returned to the camp, and the two heads of Dracos and Epiphanis had already waited in the big account.
"Firisius, what decision did your meeting finally make?" Epiphanes couldn't wait to ask.
"Our coalition forces are ready to force the Syracuse to fight." Felicius said truthfully.
"Yeah, I guessed it!" Epiphanis looked excitedly at Dracos.
"I didn't make this bet with you, because I chose to fight with the Syracuse." Dracos didn't want to talk to him, turned to ask Felicius: "Who is going to command this battle?"
"This is still asking! In addition to us, it will not be others!" Epiphany blurted out.
"I will command the entire coalition." When Filipius said this, the tone was a bit heavy because he felt the pressure on his shoulders, and he saw the excitement presented by the two regiments and made him Realizing that the fourth and fifth legions, whether they are generals or soldiers, are eager to face up with the Syracuse people because of the military exploits, because of the victory of the previous camp defenses, and because of the hospitality of the Cologne people. Their fighting spirit is high, and the pride and honor of the soldiers of the Daiyan Army will not allow them to retreat for a long time. Of course, if Davers is here, no one dares to disobey, but he is not a guarantee when he is the commander himself.
When he thought of it, he was relieved in his heart. He waved to the two people and said, "Let's plan together to plan how to win this battle?"
Epicinis listened to this and stopped talking. He asked seriously: "Which city-state forces in the South-Italian League have participated in the war? How many people are there? How many people may be in the Syracuse?"
"In addition to our 17,000 Legionnaires; Crotone also has 17,000 soldiers, including 6,000 heavy infantry; Xi Liting has 14,000 soldiers and 3,000 heavy infantry. They also want to recruit some citizens to participate in the war; 7,000 soldiers, but they have to defend the city. They can be sent to participate in the battle. There may be only four or five thousand people, and the heavy infantry can reach one thousand people... the total strength is about 54,000 and the heavy infantry is about 22,000."
After Filipius finished, Epiphanis whistled: "Wow, it’s a huge army!"
"There is not much." Dracos poured cold water on him: "Our all the Legian corps and the reserve soldiers can easily exceed this number, and the number of heavy infantry is far more than this coalition! One of the six heavy infantry squads of a legion of Dionynia is 6,000 heavy infantry, not a reserve soldier, and there are 30,000 heavy infantry in the army!"
Heavy infantry full equipment is expensive, many city-state civilians are unwilling to bear or can not afford this cost, but many of the Diaonians who have just become reserve citizens and official citizens are willing to make a purchase, because in the Union of Dionya By serving in military service and acting as a heavy infantry, they can bring more benefits to them, such as: obtaining "parts", serving as a public official, participating in local council elections, participating in the election of the police officers, and so on. And the low-interest loans provided by the Cleopatra Bank, which is unique to the Dionysian Union and spread across the Union cities, also gives new citizens the confidence to buy heavy infantry equipment.
"But our army can't all appear here. Here is my fourth army and your fifth army." Although Epiphanis is refuting Dracos, his expression is very excited: "You can only rely on us." To decide the outcome of this battle!"
Dracos did not speak, and his eyes shone with brilliance.
"The two regiments, according to the information from the West Chamber, we have to face at least 50,000 Syracuse troops, and they can beat Carthage, I am afraid it is not good to deal with!" Filipinos solemnly Remind the two of them: "This battle is of great importance! If the battle fails, the army of Syracuse may approach our territory of Dionia. I am afraid that some other cities in the South Italian alliance may be It conquers, the consequences will be hard to imagine!"
"I am also a veteran of Dionia. I certainly understand the importance of this battle!" Epiphanis blamed for expressing dissatisfaction with Felicius's low opinion and then asked: "You are sure that the enemy is only More than 50,000 people? Was it attacking our more than 40,000 enemies in Cologne?"
"They are besieging the city of Cologne. The surveillance of the West Riding has been closely watching the movement there, reporting to the coalition at any time." Felicius certainly understands what they are worried about: "to prevent them from suddenly splitting north, strengthen The Syracuse people’s strength in the Siriting camp."
"As long as the Syracuse people here do not increase their troops, the strength of the two sides is similar, we have a great chance of winning!" Epiphanes looked at Felicius and looked at Dracos and analyzed: "Before us They have already handed over to the Syracuse people. Their cavalry is very strong, but the cavalry is strong. They don’t dare to go to the intensive squares in the battle. As long as we are on guard, even if they defeat our cavalry, It doesn't take much advantage, as long as they dare to get close to the array, our light infantry will give them a big blow."
Felicius and Drax nodded.
Dracos took the message and said aloud: "As for the infantry in Syracuse, I want to be able to beat the Carthaginians. The fighting ability should not be weak, but from the battle in Cologne, their morale. And the will to fight seems not too strong. In the heavy infantry that played a decisive role in the battle, the Syracuse army must not be able to compare with our army!"
The other two immediately agreed, but this is not their pride, but because under the guidance of Dafos' advanced operational concept, the Dionysian Army is actually a complex warfare group with multiple arms mixed, and after more rigorous training, Thus, it becomes an army that can adapt to various situations and can carry out more complicated tactics. This is the confidence of the generals of the legislatures of Felicius, Dracos, and Epiphanis.
"Our army, whether it is tactical training or equipment, is very different from other allies. It is not suitable to be mixed with other units. This is easy to cause confusion, but it is not conducive to the play of our army." Dracos also reminded .
"Dracos is right! I suggest that the fourth and fifth legions should be brought together ~EbookFREE.me~ and should not be separated, thus forming a strong combat power, any wing placed in the battlefield, It will pose a huge threat to the enemy. After defeating the enemy in front of it, it will form a siege of the middle road, and finally win the battle!" Epiphanis said on the wooden table and said his opinion.
"I think so too." Although the two heads of the military usually do not get along well, but when it comes to fighting, the two agree unanimously.
Filipius carried his hands in the big account and took a few steps in the big account. He looked back at the two people and said in a dilemma: "I agree with your suggestion, but this is not the battle we faced alone in Dionia. There are allies in Trina, Cirtin, and Crotone."
"But you are the commander of the entire coalition!" Epiphanis said: "You have the right to make the most reasonable arrangement!"
"We think it's reasonable, but they also think it's reasonable. Everyone's opinion is agreed, and the entire operational plan can be implemented smoothly." Felicius said helplessly: "This coalition commander is not so good!"

"Don't they recognize the plan we just had?!" Dracos picked up his eyebrows.
