Vol 7 Chapter 23: Battle strategy

Alexis looked at them and solemnly said: "So I decided to slow down the speed of the various regiments in the morning, waiting for the Dani to rush to the other side of the Orfanto River. We will fight against the enemy on the way to the river. And defeat them in one fell swoop."
"I agree with Alai... Commander's plan. I have been involved in this river many times in the past two days. Although the river is somewhat wide, the river is not deep, and it is more than the knees. The water flow is not too urgent. The bottom is relatively hard, even if the Dani people block us in the river, it is enough for our heavy infantry to exert its power." Amintas agreed, and other military leaders agreed.
Alexis continued: "You are the head of the army, you see, tomorrow our river crossing is here."
Several heads of the army were busy going around and looking at the map placed on the table. The place where Alexis pointed was less than one mile from the military camp. They all surveyed the terrain and knew the terrain on both sides of the river in the east. Low level, mostly tidal flats, due to the summer sun exposure, the muddy mud on the river bank has already dried up and agglomerated, which is very beneficial to the army queue.
"The head of the Amintas army, your first legion is in this position." Alexis's fingers moved eastward and said: "Because your first legion has the strongest combat power, the number of veterans in the legion It is the most, so arrange for you to be in the middle of the road. I hope that a legion should not break into too fast, and should maintain a connection with the military and political forces of the left and right wings..."
The troops led by Amintas have always been known for their fierce attack, but as a veteran of the Dionya who has been fighting for more than a decade, he has been able to distinguish clearly and immediately.
"The head of the Oliver army, your fourth army is in the left wing of the first legion. The head of the Gio Gris army, your fifth legion is on the right wing of the first legion. There are too many new recruits in your legion, hopefully in the process of crossing the river. Team officers at all levels should be able to stabilize the emotions of their soldiers, and don't have big chaos..." Alexis reminded them while pointing at the map.
"Do not worry, the commander is an adult. Although many soldiers have just been incorporated into the reserve from the reserve team, they have been training in the transitional river operations many times in the training camp, and the lowest level team officers (ie the captains) are equipped with It is a veteran who has participated in more than four battles. There will be no problems." Oliver immediately gave a guarantee.
Gio Gris is also on the sidelines, although the fifth legion he led was dominated by the Brutiers, but the brutal civil unrest during the South Italian War and the post-war cleanup, the ambivalent Brutiers were Cleaned up, the Brutus people have been basically integrated into the kingdom in the past ten years, and the childhood of the recruits in the Legion was spent after Blair was merged into Dionia and grew up. Most of them have read The schools established by Dionynia in the towns of Brudy are deeply influenced by the culture of Dionya. Apart from their appearance, they are not much different from the main Greeks of Dionynia.
Why did you change so many recruits in the Legion? This issue has to be said after the South Italian War.
At that time, the biggest achievement of Dionynia's victory was that they occupied the Great Greece and the eastern coast of Sicily. After the resume of the civic soldiers and the settlement of the city-state people who were merged into the kingdom, there was still a large amount of vacant land. At that time, the Senate even passed through An interim bill allows pre-citizens and registered free-lost people to first allocate land (just pay different taxes) and give them formal citizenship after the age.
At that time, the Corinthian war was taking place in the Greek mainland. In Asia Minor, Sparta led the coalition forces to fight with Persia. The continuation of the war led to an increase in the entire Greek world. Under the intentional guidance of Dionia, most of the refugees flocked to the big Greece, so manpower is enough, but the majority of the laws of Dionia are for formal citizens, but the freedom of registration during that period The number of people has increased dramatically, and most of them need six or seven years to become a full-time citizen, which brings great trouble to governance.
For the sake of reality, and also for Daves’ strategic plan for the kingdom, he launched a war against Mesapi and Pucciti in the fall of Dionynia. After the Battle of Brindisi, he Let the legions be replaced by a large number of new recruits and free-agents, in order to shorten their years of citizenship through military exploits, and also to prevent the elderly from being over-committed and distributing land too much. More, and the emergence of a large landlord, resulting in the Kingdom has just been established, the gap between the rich and the poor of domestic citizens has been opened.
But in this time the Danny war, the situation is slightly different, because many of the recruits have been growing up in the league since childhood, since the establishment of the Union of Dionynia, this group of adults has not been a few years old. The new citizens of Dionia have been trained by the military of Dionia since they were young. Although they are new recruits, their military quality is not low. This is also the confidence of several military leaders.
"Ledes, your cavalry corps is to divide the military, on both sides of the entire squad, responsible for escaping and defeating the Dani's cavalry." Alexis continued to deploy his offensive plan.
"Understand." Ledes nodded in response.
There are now four cavalry regiments in the Kingdom of Dionia: the first cavalry regiment is based in Turui; the second cavalry regiment is based in Grumendum; the third legion is based in Kataney; The Fourth Army is headquartered in Brindisi. In terms of cavalry quality, it should be the fourth Cavalry Corps is the strongest, because most of them are composed of Pucciti and Mesapi. However, the earliest time when these two regions were merged into the Kingdom of Dionia was only six years. They were unruly and free-spirited by these two races, not to mention the cavalry. If they did not listen to the commanding chaos in the battle, Disposal in accordance with the military law, but also beheading, but the responsibility of the stick, I am afraid that will cause no trouble for the entire war, or even the two areas that have just stabilized. Considering it over and over again, Davers decided to adjust the first cavalry corps to participate in the war, so the cavalry corps was the least recruited among the participating teams, so Alexis did not blame anything.
"When the whole army began to cross the river, I will concentrate all the guns and belly bows behind you to bombard the Dominicans on the other side, disturbing their formation, for your offense..." Alexis' words Let the heads of the army completely rest assured.
"When a million people don't play, they stop us from crossing the river?" Giorgios asked.
"Then we will easily cross the river, and then one by one to capture their city!" Amintas answered for Alexis.
At the beginning, Daves forcibly detained the engineers and craftsmen of Dionysius's nearly 2,000 people, and later forced Syracuse to send their family to Dionia, and finally left them in the map. Lie, which made the process of metal forging, engineering construction, woodworking, etc. in Dionya suddenly improved. Later, in the conquest wars of Mesapi and Pucciti, with their help, the various regiments successfully captured the towns, so the Dionyrian army is now very confident in siege.
..........................................
The newly built Dionya military camp near Kanusian is made up of several legion camps, with a boulevard running through the entire camp from west to east.
After returning to their respective camps, the heads of the armed forces immediately recruited their respective captains for deliberation.
The captains of the First Legion were rushing to the army chief's account through the avenue, and the soldiers who returned to the camp after the arrival of the team officers, they met the senior team officers, they all stopped to pay tribute to show respect. Only one soldier was also saluting, but his eyes were dodging and he did not speak. He walked away after he hurriedly finished his ceremony.
The captains of the first army commanders were also unseen, until the soldiers went far, the first captain, Krussius, came back and shook his head: "Patlock Ross, you are powerful. Even our prince of Dionya is afraid of you! He just didn't dare to look at you when he was just like him."
"I said Krussius, our Prince of Dionia, but the descendants of Hades, how could they fear Patroclus, this is the little sister-in-law's respect for the future brother-in-law!" Another captain joked Said.
"You made a mistake. Prince Adoris is just the adopted son of Daveus, including his sister, but it is just like treating them like their own children." Krussius was busy correcting.
"is it?!"
"Older Dionian citizens know this. If you don't believe you can ask this kid, he knows best about these things~EbookFREE.me~Kruthus points to Patroclus.
"Every brother, the head of the Armintas army is urging us to go to the matter. We are chatting here. If it is late, he will beat people!" Patroclus was busy turning the subject away.
"It's okay, we are not afraid of the roar of the adults of Amintas." Kruthus did not care.
"Kruthus, you are not afraid, we are terrible!" The big captain next to him cried.
Krussius smiled and said to the youngest of the eight: "Patrock Rose, you married your daughter, you will be very different in the future. Don't forget to help." We are old brothers."
His words have attracted the approval of others.
"I said my brother, His Majesty, let Adoris participate in the war as an ordinary citizen, and he should have belonged to the First Army. His Majesty is afraid of knowing his acquaintances too much. He specially asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to include him in the Fourth Army. I don't want anyone to take care of him! His Majesty is so strict with his children. If I become his son-in-law, I am afraid that my request will never be low. It is impossible to get his special care! Turlock Rose said seriously.
