Vol 6 Chapter 136: Continuous operations (1)

"Dyonia triumph!!!..."
"Dyonia Navy Wansheng!!!..."
"Davers Kings Victory!!!..."
"Hades wins!!!"
......
The people cheered and screamed and vented the humiliation and fear accumulated in the heart during this time. At the same time, they also made them feel that this victory is not only a bystander but also a participant because it is their efforts. And insistence made Davers become the king, only to let Hades bless this alliance, only to have this immediate victory! ! !
Davers has always been a king, and our alliance will always be safe! This belief has since been implanted in the hearts of the people.
At this moment, the big stone that has been pressing on the hearts of the people has suddenly disappeared. How many people are crazy about this: some are crying; some are kneeling on the ground, devoutly singing Hades's songs; some rushing into the sea, high voice Calling; some are excited to embrace the people around, regardless of men and women, to share the joy of the heart. Even the little guy Patroclus took the opportunity to hug Cynthia, who has always been crushed.
Even more insane is that some female prostitutes in the crowd claimed that in order to celebrate the hard-won victory of Dionia, it was free at night.
Even the head of the Clithista restaurant in Turui was excited to announce in the crowd: At night, all the Clistore restaurants in Turui will provide free drinks for the guests who celebrate the victory.
The cheers of the Dionysians across the coast reached their peak.
And just as the people cheered for victory, the Venetian fleet rescued the fallen sailors and split half of the ships, and gathered them. Under the leadership of Davers, they immediately turned around.
At the mouth of the Krati estuary, 300 cargo ships full of soldiers of the Second Legion also joined, and drove to the coast of Heraclea.
.................................
From yesterday, Dai Olilas and 攸makas outside Heraklia felt a little confused: the Diaonians suddenly strengthened the blockade of the territory and built it on the banks of the Saraceno River. The checkpoint card, and sent a company to guard, anyone can only enter and not.
In fact, Turai has taken the same measures in the Kradi River Bridge and the city of Turui, and even the port has been blocked. No ships can get the Krati River into the sea.
These rigorous moves caused Tarantum to be cut off from Turui, which made the two leading Tarantum consuls feel a little uneasy: what happened to Turui?
After repeated analysis, they finally guessed: The biggest possibility is that Davers came back, because only he has the right to do such a strict blockade.
But guessing is speculation after all. Without conclusive evidence, it is impossible to make a decisive decision. The two consuls have also had a dispute.
攸Marcas demanded that he immediately withdraw from the troops that besieged Heraclia and retreat to Metapontom to avoid being attacked by the main force returned by Dionia.
Diomeras expressed his opposition. He believed that Tarantum had cost a lot of money. He was forced to enter under the city of Heraklia and could invade the territory of Dionia. He could not take the initiative to withdraw because of the wind and the shadows. If this is done, it will be laughed at by the people of Tarantum, and will be impeached by the Senate!
After some controversy, the two finally reached an agreement: a large number of detectives were sent every day, crossing the Xiny River and destroying the land of Amendola Lara, while investigating whether there was a large force of Dionia in the south. At the same time, more pontoons were built on the Agri River to facilitate the retreat of the troops.
They also sent people back to Tarantum, hoping that the Senate would be able to send spies to the city of Castellón, which had previously been invisible, in an effort to learn about the current situation in the city of Turui.
In the restless wait and see, the day passed smoothly.
The next morning, it was the news of the fleet of Tarantum: the fleet of the Dionya suddenly drove out of the Krati River, and the navy of Syracuse was at sea, and the two sides had already fought.
The generals of the Tarantum Fleet also asked: Will the fleet of Tarantum also participate in the battle?
The two consuls heard this news and were greatly relieved. They don’t have to think about it. It’s obvious that this risky move by Dionia is obviously a dead act, but they are happy to see that Dionia has this
courageous action
because it will alleviate the psychological burden of the Tarantum army. . After all, more than a hundred three-layer paddle warships are hidden in the Krati River, who knows which day they will suddenly come out. Syracuse can win with a breeze, but it does not mean that Tarantum can do it. Therefore, for the two consuls, the pressure on the sea is still a bit large. It is only now that the Syracuse Navy ruled the Gulf of Taranto and shared the pressure on Tarantum. If this naval battle can hit the Danish fleet, Tarantum has no pressure on the sea.
But for the fleet's request, both consuls expressed their refusal. A few years ago, after the defeat of the Tarantum fleet to the Meppe coalition, after years of accumulation, it was hard to let the fleet possess 35 35-layer paddle warships and 20 other warships. There is no need to invest in it. This is a sea war that knows that it must win. Besides, even if the Tarantum Navy joins, the Syracuse people may not appreciate it. I am afraid that Tarantum will be rushing. Not to mention that Tarantum and Syracuse have joined hands on the issue of Dionya, but Tarantum, a strong Greek power, has his own dignity.
The two consuls rejected the fleet's request and slandered them: After the end of the naval battle, they reported their situation.
Then I stopped thinking about it and began to wonder how to capture the city of Heraclea.
These days, the coalition forces of Dionia and Heraclia were quite able to hold their breath, letting the Tarantum soldiers raging on the land of Amendola, and even the soldiers took the cattle and sheep they were robbed under the city. Shouting, they still can't close the gate.
This made the two consuls very headaches: with nearly 20,000 troops to attack a city with more than 10,000 soldiers to defend, they asked themselves without this ability. I heard that the Syracuse people have a powerful siege weapon. The Senate has sent people to the West Chamber to ask for a loan. Is it that the arrogant Sicilian lord will agree? If Dionysius disagrees, the Tarantum army can only encircle the city until Heracleas has finished. Not to mention that it takes time, not to mention that the main force of Dionia can return at any time, then Hercullia, the closest to Turui, is inevitably the first target of their rescue.
Is it really time for the Syracuse to conquer Crotone, and the army is approaching Turui, is it the opportunity of Tarantum? Diomeras is not willing to think...
.......................................
In Heraklia, these days, Trifias, who has been busy pacifying the people, caring for the city defense and resetting the reinforcements, has a bad sleep. When he gets up and prepares for breakfast, he hears the servant to report: Dionia The general wanted to see.
To be honest, Trifias was a little scared to see the head of the army of Dionya, Matonis, who had suffered from Heraclia and even had his own territory in Syracuse. The destruction of man, every time on the wall, sees the angry fire of Martinius's eyes, but clenches his fists and forcibly suppresses the painful expression, which makes the madness of Trephias's heart rise.
Matonis strode into the living room, and Trephias was still mad at the porridge: "Head of Martinius, have you eaten breakfast? Would you like to give it something?"
Through this period of contact, Trephias knew that the head of the Daonian army, the mercenary, did not like the vulgarity. The more casual you are, the more relaxed he is.
"I have eaten it," said Matonis, reaching for a wooden chair and sitting next to Triphias: "I am here to tell you a very important thing!"
"Oh, you said!" Trephias quickly put down the porridge and wiped it with a linen towel.
"The messenger who sneaked into the city from Turui last night told me a very important news!"
Terry Feas immediately erected his ears. He certainly knew something that he had sneaked in last night. It was just that the man came to find Matonis. He was not forced to ask, but he had not been to Heraclia for the past few days. Tuli, who had never heard of it, suddenly sent a messenger and ventured into it. I am afraid that things will not be simple.
"Dafus has already led the army back to Turui!"
"Duffus is back, that's great!" Trephias yelled excitedly, and then he said another thing: "Wait... What did you say? Davers sire?!"
"The people of Dionya got the of Hades~EbookFREE.me~ together to promote Davers as the king of Dionia!" Matones said proudly.
King! Terry Feas touched his chin. This is a political matter inside Dionia. He has no right to question, not to mention the question now: "So Dave the Great... the king will soon lead the army. Going north, repelling the Tarantum?!"
"The messenger told me that His Majesty will lead the Dionysian fleet to the sea this morning, looking for a decisive battle with the Syracuse Navy, and let us prepare for the attack. Once the sea battle is over, we will immediately attack the enemy camp and drag the tower. The Lantums, so that the army of His Majesty arrived from the sea and encircled the Tarantum army here!" Mattonis said excitedly.
"This plan is... very good." Terry Feas said with a look of horror and hesitantly said: "But can the fleet of Dionia be able to defeat the Syracuse Navy?! Know the Syracuse Navy." But much more powerful!"
"I believe that Daphus is down, he always said it!" Matones looked firm. He stood up and said loudly: "If you don't want to send troops to Trigram, you will take my army. Kill it out!"
