Vol 8 Chapter 118: Marching to Rome

There is not much collected. There are not many food reserves in the Ostia, and no grain is found in the port warehouse. However, the rations carried by the soldiers are enough for two days. By then, the fleet of grain should also be It is already here."
"It seems that food should be concentrated in Rome. After all, they have to supply the Roman army that attacked Herniki." Daves said indulgingly.

But we collected nearly two hundred cars and a lot of beasts in the city, and some fodder, and we found a lot of wood stored in the warehouse. Engineers are using them to make siege equipment... ..." Tormmid continued.
"This is good news." It is good news. Daves's face is not a touch of joy. He talked about the war of tomorrow and made his face extremely dignified: "I urge them to step up their siege equipment, they have more To build a siege car, we will have one more victory!"
"Your Majesty, the more than 500 highly skilled engineers and carpenters you brought from Turui, plus the engineering battalions of the various legions, add up to thousands of people, and the soldiers help, they can make There are enough siege devices to meet the needs of tomorrow," Tolmide said with relief.
"I hope so." Daves made a slight head and speeded up and walked into the city hall of Ostia.
"Your Majesty!" Oliver, Gio Gris, Tenorras, the three heads of the army and Midolades, Izam have long been waiting in the conference room.
"Your army has been settled?" Daves asked casually.
"Your Majesty, they are all arranged, they are eagerly awaiting the battle of tomorrow!" Oliver said first.
"I think you can't help but want to fight." In the conference hall, the look on Daves' face turned into a relaxed, his ridicule made everyone laugh.
In the laughter, Davers went to the top, and Croto Catax stood quietly behind him, his eyes from Oliver, Gio Gris, Trotillas, Izzam. Several people who had been born and died from the Persian period, and who had made countless meritorious deeds, swept through the inexplicable mood.
He glanced at the simple Roman map on the wooden table in the middle of the room and was drawn by the military department based on intelligence. Then he said: "Before we discuss tomorrow's combat plan, let a former Roman citizen introduce it in detail. Looking at the current situation in Rome, you can ask him directly if you have any questions."
"This is great!" Oliver said with delight.
Valks was stunned and called into the conference room. He was very nervous when he looked at the Dionysian generals wearing bright armor, the gorgeous crown, and the King Davers in front.
But as he answered one more and more detailed questions about the city of Rome, the tension in his heart gradually changed to shock: Did the Dionias attack the city directly? ! !

In the middle of the night, Croto Kataks was awakened by the urine. After he was confused and convenient, he was preparing to go to bed again, but the candlelight in the next room gave him a heart.
He gently pushed open the hidden door and saw that Davers was sitting at the wooden table, staring at the map of the city of Rome, thinking about something, pulling a corner of the map and faintly watching To the top there are some dense notes that were added by the description of Walx.
From the time of the note, Klotok Katex often saw his father working diligently in the study room at night, and this time he followed the expedition, and his father used this habit in the military. Everyone said that his father was a The wise king, the great commander, they all think that this is the gift of Hades, but I do not know the hardships and efforts of my father for many years! ... Klotto Kataks admired his father's unusually tall back and quietly brought the door.
Davers didn't know that his son had peeped outside the door. His mind was immersed in this map. The string of numbers on the map turned into countless fresh soldiers in his eyes. It will only begin tomorrow, but at this moment, the army has begun to kill in his mind...

Corus, the confidant slave of Portitos, immediately took two slaves and rode to the city after he got the order.
They had good luck, and Apleus had just passed the order of the Senate to the city guard, Milusius, who had not had time to pass the order to the guards of the gates, making the group of Korius Going out of the city smoothly.
Then the three people accelerated to the southeast, when the route to Preenister, it was already in the evening, the continuous Mercedes not only let the horses get tired and straight, the three's buttocks were also faintly painful, and the inside of the thighs also grinded out Blood.
"Korius, we can't go forward, the sky is already dark, there is no moon tonight, the front is going to the valley, the terrain will become more and more uneven, and we can't even see the road, no If you are careful, you may fall off the horse. This is too dangerous!" A slave dissuaded Korius from moving on.
Another young slave said aloud: "We can ignite the torch -"
"Idiot!" Before he finished speaking, the slave who started talking interrupted him: "It’s not just beasts, but also indigenous people who wander here at night. We will be easily ignited in the night by the torch. They found out and became the target of their attacks!"
After listening to him, Corusus hesitated. After all, this slave is a Vestinian in the east of the Equique. He is familiar with the terrain here. This is why Corus took him with him. He hopes. In front of the black lacquer, he indulged for a moment and said reluctantly: "Not far from the front, there should be a Roman military camp. We will go there and rest."
The three men clung to the stables, controlled the horses, and continued to walk slowly for a while, and they heard a screaming scream of "嗷呜!...", and then there were a pair of green eyes.
"Fast! Run back!..." The slave immediately shouted nervously.
Corus responded quickly and quickly turned the horse's head. Only the young slaves wanted to say something more. The horses that fell were screaming in panic, and raised their forefoot, and threw the horse off the guard...
While the wild wolf ate the slave and the horse, Coruss rode on the horse, ran all the way, and hid in the city of Prinist.

Wake up in the morning, the first thing Midodades did was to ask the guard: "What weather is today?"
"General, the weather is very good, there is no rain, and there is a small wind, it is the southeast wind!"
Midorades almost jumped up and said: "The old sailors in the port judged correctly. Today, there is an east wind! Tell the adjutant, let him pass the order, limit the crew to be ready in half an hour, then at the port. Gather, take a war boat to Rome!"
"Yes, General!" The guard turned to inform the adjutant.
"Wait a minute! Um... and the labor and slaves in the port, don't forget to inform them that they are ready to move!"
Since the establishment of the Deonian fleet, it has never had the experience of pulling people. After all, Turui is closer to Haikou. The river channel in the lower part of Krati is flat and wide, the water flow is slow, and it is not too difficult to go upstream. The same goes for the lower reaches of the river However, according to intelligence, there are more than 50 miles from the mouth of the Tiber River in Rome. The river is winding and the water is flowing slowly. From the port of Ostia to Rome, the ship needs to be pulled, so in general, Merchant ships are unloaded from the port of Ostia and then transported by land to Rome.
To this end, there is a flat and wide road between Rome and Ostia, and now it is the army of Dionia that is walking on this road. Compared with the fleet, they have set off much earlier.
Davers left three squadrons of the Turai Legion reserve soldiers stationed in the city of Ostia (this unit was used to replenish soldiers when the first and second legions suffered losses), leading the Fourth Army The Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, the Mountain Investigation Brigade, the Engineering Camp, the Medical Camp, and the squadron carrying the siege equipment... Depending on the plain, the entire army is arranged in a column of more than a dozen columns. Along the south bank of the Tiber River, march toward the east.
King Daves rode in the middle of the team, surrounded by two hundred and fifty riding palace guards, more than 20 military staff officers, as well as commanders, divisions, and even bands.
At the moment ~EbookFREE.me~ the staff chief Tormid is reporting to him: "Your Majesty, Amintas sent a horse to report, they have already led the army and will first come to Rome to wait for us."
"Amintas is very busy, want to go to Rome before us!" Davers smiled and looked around: "Do we want to lose to him?"
"We will definitely go to Rome first!" Klotok Katex and the young people in the staff office shouted in unison, the court guards did not speak, but looked at them.
"That's good!" Daves said, "Let the band play the "Battlefield March" and let the soldiers speed up their march!"
The stimulating melody of Gao Song rang in the ranks, which made the soldiers feel refreshed and dispelled their somewhat sleepy sleepiness. I don't know who, first sang Hades's songs, and soon the songs rang throughout the entire team. The soldiers stood in the morning sun, dipped in dewdrops, stepped on the soft land, and strode forward.

The great movements created by the Dionysian army could not hold the detectives and spies of Rome, so the day was still not bright, and the spies sent back the news that "The city of Ostia was occupied by Dionya". Rome.
