Vol 4 Chapter 50: Sneak attack on the Crimea

After listening to Davers, Agarcia looked at the fleet that was far away, remembering the complaints of people like Kriano during this time, and nodded and said, "You are right!"
........................
Half an hour later, the troop fleet was already far from Turui and headed south on the fairway leading to Syracuse.
Sitting in the first ship of Tima Song, the soldiers on the boat immediately acted to control the captain and the sailor and said loudly: "We will not hurt you, just want you to drop a course!"
While apprehending the frightened captain and sailor, they raised the red flag in the main squad, scattered on the various ships, and the team officers who received the secret notice of Tima Song before they left the day saw the flag waving on the first ship and immediately started to act. And quickly controlled the forty ships.
"Go to the beach between Crimea and Castellón!" Tima Song gave an order to the captain.
"What do you want to do?!" The captain, despite his panic, shouted with courage.
The soldier who took him immediately gave him a foot: "Hurry and follow the instructions of the leader!"
The sailors saw the captain insulted and began to move. After being smashed by the mercenaries, they finally retreated.
"We are all freemen registered by the Dionysian Union. Are you not afraid of the anger of the Alliance?!" The captain looked at the injured sailor struggling on the deck and shouted in anger.
This is really a problem! Tima Song spent more than two months in the league, knowing the laws of Dionia: even those sailors who are just registered and have not yet become reserve citizens, if they are treated unfairly in the foreign countries, according to the bill It is stipulated that the Dionysian Union has an obligation to negotiate with the city-state, not to mention the protection of formal citizens. If it is really killing them, the elders of the Dionysian Senate, who used to be comrades-in-arms, said that I am afraid that I will anger the guy who only talks about the law and does not talk about affair, and wants to keep it with the help of the power of Dionia. The desire of Crimea is about to fail.
He asked people to help the two injured sailors to bandage the wound, and said to the captain as much as possible: "In the name of Zeus, I swear that I have no intention of infringing the alliance. If you send us ashore, you can drive. The ship is gone!"
The captain will be suspicious of turning the helmsman to the rudder.
Tima Song’s opponent whispered and hurriedly said:
Try to inform the companions of the rest of the ship to try not to hurt anyone!

Why should you say as much as possible? Because this is a temporary team, and it is a mercenary, just because they do not want to be bound by the alliance, and because the two leaders of Timothy and Kryano are prestigious, they are willing to listen to their command. To say that they can control them, Tima Song asks himself that there is no such skill.
Another half an hour later, under the guidance of two guides who were bought by heavy money, the fleet was obstructed to prevent it from being discovered by the Crimea, and chose a sparsely populated beach closer to the Castellon side. shore.
When the captain was still worried about whether there was damage at the bottom of the ship, the soldiers shoved to drive them off the ship.
"You said that you have to let us go!" the captain shouted and shouted at the horse.
"I said it. But not now, in order to prevent you from coming back to report, I will stay here for a while!" Tima Song said coldly. He ordered the soldiers to drag the boat to the beach, then tied the captain and the sailors, and threw them in the grass on the shore. Of course, there will be sailors in the process of implementation, and there will naturally be casualties, but he still has thoughts. Concerned about this, he and Kryanlo and other team officers quickly gathered the mercenaries, and then took out some of the wood hidden under the tents given by Daves and former comrades, and everyone worked together to make a rapid growth ladder. .
Tima Song knows that Daves is cautious. He asked for tents and food not only to hide some siege equipment, but also to paralyze Davis. At this moment, when every soldier carries two days of rations, he again The captain lying in the grass said: "The supplies on your ship belong to your governor, Davis, and don't forget to return it to him when you go back."
Then I ignored the crew’s loud pleading and led the mercenaries to advance into the south.
The 1,700-strong team is moving on the plains during the day, and it is difficult to hide any traces, especially during the sunny season of spring planting. Tima Song originally envisioned landing at night, but that means that the fleet of more than forty ships can only wander in the sea during the day. Too close to the coast, it is easy to cause vigilance and suspicion of Crotone, the patrol boat of Crimea and the merchant ships of the route; too far from the coast, it is difficult to distinguish the direction in the dark, accurate landing, and easy to occur accident.
So, Tima Song, they are ready to raid, playing Crimea is caught off guard, the key is to act fast! Even if Krimisa gets the news, he can't react quickly.
There is a relatively large swamp area between Castellón and Crimea, caused by the flooding of the Lakoeli River and its tributaries. At the beginning of December last year, Tima Song quietly came over and looked at the terrain. It was completely accessible on the coast side, and it was built to facilitate the land and trade between the Crimea and Castellón. There are ferries and pontoons.
However, what Tima Song did not think was: By the end of December, spring was coming, the snow was melting, and the torrential rains in January this year, the rivers surged far more than in previous years, and the marshes certainly had a very obvious expansion compared with previous years. This has brought great difficulties to the mercenaries.
Just as they were struggling in the swamps in Tima Song, they were occasionally seen on the south side of the swamp. Farmers or slaves drove livestock, chickens and ducks to the edge of the marsh area, and they found out. The mercenaries who were marching in the distance all ran away in panic. Later, there were scattered cavalry in their visions in Tima Song, let them know that the raid was only already ruined.
Tima Song immediately summoned some other team officers such as Kryano and Toricos to conduct an urgent deliberation in the marsh area: Do you want to cancel the plan to attack the Crimea?
Most people like Kryano and Toricos insisted on moving forward. They all thought that it took such a long wait and careful preparation to get such a good opportunity. If you give up easily, return to Diaonia. It’s only the second time that people are ridiculed. What’s more important is that their attempts are exposed to people. Davers will definitely be wary of them. The Turifs will not give them a good face. At that time, they can only be forced to leave the Great Greece. I will never encounter such a good opportunity in the future!
When Tima Song saw that everyone had the same idea, he immediately stated his plan after modification: speeding up the march, and rushing to the city to attack before the Crimea people defended, and attacking the Crimea in the shortest time. Sa, then defended the possible presence of the Crimea reinforcements, and as soon as possible the identity of the Dionysian alliance to join the Dionysian alliance after they had the Crimea. With the protection of the great forces of Diaonia, their safety is guaranteed!
The team officers had no objection to his new plan, so everyone took action.
"Brothers, speed up! Speed ​​up!! Just out of here, Crimea is like a delicious olive waiting for us to pick!!" Timason loudly encouraged the frustrated mercenaries.
Keliano, Toricos and other team officers are also rushing.
The war-stricken soldiers also knew that the situation was urgent and they could not hesitate. They cursed this terrible environment and struggled forward... Finally, the big troops walked out of the swamp.
At this time, the cavalry, who had been watching, greeted him and shouted: "I am the patrol captain of the Crimea, Timayatis! Stranger, you invaded the territory of Crimea, please immediately -" He The sound stopped abruptly, and a javelin pierced through his chest and fell under the horse, scaring a few cavalry not far away to run.
"Damn, who shot the javelin?!!" Tima Song, who was rushing forward, saw the scene and screamed. He had wanted to swindle the people of the Crimea and fight for their offense. EbookFREE.me~ I didn't expect to be robbed by these mercenaries who liked their own temperament and liked their own actions.
"Since it has already happened, don't blame them any more, so as not to affect the morale of the brothers!" Crianno whispered.
After landing, the encounter was not smooth, and Tima Song was very depressed, but he had to force it: Krianno was right, have to hurry!
He took a sigh of relief and turned to ask the guide: "How far is Crimea?"
The guide saw his expression twisted and twisted, and he snorted and snorted. The voice trembled and said: "...about...about ten miles..."
Tima Song looked at the sky and said to the commander: "Let the brothers work harder and continue to hurry and wait for us to rush to the Crimea to rest!"
.....................
I couldn’t see anyone along the way. The farmers and slaves who had worked in the fields obviously got news and fled into the city.
After half an hour, Tima Song faintly saw the city of Crimea in the distance, and he immediately called the troops to stop rushing and marching slowly.
The city of Crimea is located south of the Cape of Aliche, on the north bank of the Wembley River. More than two hundred years ago, this was a settlement of indigenous people. After being occupied by the Simaris, the city of Crimea was built. It has been attached to the city of Sobaris as a sub-national. Until a hundred years ago, Dibaris was defeated and weak. Crimea had to rely on its strong neighbor Crotone. A few decades later, due to the establishment of Turui, Athens reached an agreement with Crotone, and the brothers of Crimea and Castellón gained independence. However, the war between Turui and Crotone last year broke the neutrality of Crimea. It wanted to join the mighty Crotone, at least to share a little victory, but never thought that Crotone could actually Destroyed by the weak Amendola Lara, Krimisa also paid a heavy price for nearly 2,000 casualties.
