Vol 5 Chapter 33: Crotone's help

Although the Lockley fleet had fewer warships, it still launched an attack without hesitation. The warships of both sides quickly sailed toward each other and crossed each other. The Rocky’s ship did not stop fighting, but continued to accelerate. Advancing, beyond the expectations of the Crotones, they were easily separated from the Crotone fleet by paying a slight price for one or two ships. WWW.SUIMENG.lā
Does the Rocky people want to escape? ! Ascamas was surprised to see the performance of the Rocky Fleet.
However, the Locke Fleet’s move once again surprised him. After a distance from the Crotone fleet, the Rocky Fleet once again turned the bow and set the offensive.
Ascamas didn't think about it for a moment: What is the reason why the Rocky people are doing this?
His fleet also made corresponding moves.
The two fleets approached again quickly, only this time the Lockley fleet did not flee again.
The warships on both sides were staggered and swayed against each other.
Unlike maritime combat, land battles are extremely focused on array formation. Once the formation is broken, it often means failure. Once the maritime battle begins, the formation is scattered, often a separate duel between the warship and the warship. I want to win by virtue of the strengths and weaknesses of the warship and the skillful sailboat technology of the captain and sailors.
Crotone and Locke’s decades of grievances are very familiar to each other. The strength of the fleet, the composition of the crew, and even the characteristics of the generals, Askamas is very clear, he firmly believes that his fleet will have six more three-layer battleships, a total of more than the advantages of the 10 battleships of the Rocky fleet. The victory of this naval battle is only a matter of time.
In the battle, Askamas's ship quickly retreats with a very skillful, thrilling escape from the collision of the enemy ship in the middle of the ship. After the danger is saved, the enemy ship is placed across the head of the ship. The front of the bronze horn. This is a great opportunity. How can he let it go, and immediately let the sailor quickly beat the back, and the ship will soon turn back from backward to forward.
But the enemy ship also swiftly turned and turned the ship's head to the Asmacas ship.
Although the enemy ship responded quickly, but the experienced Askamas did not give up, the ship was approaching the enemy ship at a rapid speed, and they were close to each other, staggered and outdated, Ascamas shouted: "Pick up!"
The sailor who listened to the order at the bottom of the warehouse immediately conveyed to the sailors that the trained ones immediately withdrew the wood pulp, and the enemy ship had just fallen off the bow, and there was no time to collect the pulp. The three-layer pulp carrier of more than 20 meters long By the huge inertia of the forward rush, most of the enemy ship's wooden paddles on the side of it are broken, causing the enemy ship to fall into a predicament that cannot be absent and cannot move forward.
Just as the sailors cheered, Ascamas prepared to turn the bow and completely slammed it, the rear of the Crotone inner fleet suddenly appeared a fleet of three-layer slurry warships, and immediately against Crowe The Tone warship launched an attack.
The Crotone fleet was in danger of being attacked by the North and the South.
In the end, the Crotone fleet was disastrously defeated, the ship was sunk, the ship was captured, and it was seriously damaged. Askamas led a few warships to encircle the enemy.
On the way to Crotone, Ascamas had been painfully thinking in frustration: Where did the ship from Lockerna come from?
...........................
The victory of the naval battle inspired the siege of the Rocky Army in Cologne. On the early morning of the next day, when the Crotone inner reinforcements arrived near the city of Cologne, the Rocky army immediately launched a battle despite the fatigue of the city of Cologne.
The Crotone inner army did not shy away from the challenge.
As a result, the two sides launched a fierce battle on the outskirts of the north of Cologne.
As far as the strength is concerned, there are a lot of Locke, but the number of the two sides is almost the same because of the division of some troops to Berestonia. But the Lockley army is dominated by heavy infantry and light armor, while Crotone has a clear advantage in light infantry with carefully selected freemen.
The general of Lockley thickened the column because of the fear of the heavy infantry of Crotone. The Crotones learned a lot of experience in the tragic lessons of the war with the Dionya army because of the restrictions of the conditions. Immediately after the array was completed, they sent light infantry to attack, and the light infantry of Locke was due to The number is too small and will soon be defeated.
Then, the Crotone inner infantry began throwing a javelin at Lockley’s army, and the Lockley infantry suffered no small casualties.
In this case, the Rocky people immediately blew the attack horn.
In the face of heavy infantry and assaults, the Crotone inner infantry is neither as rigorously organized and disciplined as the Diaonian light infantry, nor has experienced veterans stabilizing the military, even less like Epiphanis and Zeppel. Excellent light infantry officers such as Alpons and other subtle and flexible commanders, and there is no incentive for material rights such as citizenship and land, and Crotone’s heavy infantry intensive military squad has no extra space for them to retreat. They can only Panic fleeing from the battlefield on both sides, resulting in a lot of light infantry too late to escape, lost to the charge of the Locke heavy infantry. It was hard to escape. Under the efforts of the generals, the light infantry tried to regroup and was immediately attacked by the Rocky cavalry again.
However, the light infantry harassment also consumed and dispersed the energy of the Rocky Infantry, and now only the infantry and infantry battles remain on the battlefield. One party has just left the sea of ​​suffering from Dionia, and the body has not fully recovered; one side has been attacking Coulania and has not been fully rested. There are fewer soldiers on one side, but they have the belief of scrubbing shame and defending the territory. There are more soldiers on one side, but the morale has been slightly lower than before.
The two sides smothered for nearly two hours, and Locke finally failed, and lost from the battlefield.
In this battle, Crotone and Locker had similar numbers of casualties. Someone was only a free man in Crotone's casualties.
Although Locke was defeated and the casualties were not serious, it withdrew from the siege of Coulania.
The Crotone inner reinforcements were able to enter the city of Cologne smoothly and received a warm welcome from the people in the city, but the situation was not good for Crotone.
The army of Lockley retreated to the south of the city of Cologne, and still looked at the city of Cologne.
The Lockley fleet was cruising on the sea, blocking the sea route in Crotone, and the pain that Dionia had suffered before, Crotone was also tasted at the moment.
At this time, the city of Crotone is already full of soldiers, and Lockley still has spare capacity. Two days later, more than a thousand Lockley soldiers landed on the coast between Crotone and Xiliting, killing and looting all the way, northward. Invade the territory of Crotone.
After the shock of the sea battle, the Crotone insiders heard the news of the invasion of the Rocky people and was again alarmed. The council dismissed Lucias to go his own way, causing the city to be empty and unable to send troops to repel the enemy's invasion.
Lucias did not refute the criticism of the proceedings, he was also very shocked by the fleet's fiasco, at this time he can only propose a council to carry out city mobilization, while sending messengers to Dionia and Aspirus M City for help.
In this case, Crotone has no other way to think about it. It just just ended the war with Dionia. The whole roar of the city of Crotone has not disappeared. However, they have to beg for help, and both the members and the public can’t erase their faces.
Asprostum is not far from Crotone, and Sis Protus is fast-paced and arrives in front of the south gate of Asptumum in less than two hours.
Although Diaonia has achieved peace with Crotone, the city defense of Asprostum has not been relaxed, but rather more tense. There was a team of sentinels on the city patrolling back and forth. There were guards stationed in front of the city gate. Although there were only a few pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate, they still carried out the task seriously, which enabled Sis Protus to patiently accept the guards. Check.
When the captain of the city guard appeared again in front of him, he brought the order of Chief Executive Hilos: he was allowed to enter.
As soon as he entered the city, he was shocked by the sight of the scene: the main street, which is not wide, was dusty. Some people used diggers to dig the ditch on both sides of the street. Some people were hammering and stacking with hammers and awls. The stones on the roadside, then the cut stones are laid on the dirt road, and some people will tear down some buildings that hinder the smooth roads and rebuild the brick walls...
Earthmoving, transporting stones, transporting garbage...numerous and sturdy men are busy, turning this place into a big work site, everyone is doing a good job, almost no one stops the work in their hands~EbookFREE.me ~ Look at him more.

What is this doing?
Sis Protis asked curiously.
The city guard captain replied: "Because we will move here in the future, we are building our own home. The road in this city is too narrow, and the road is still uneven. Garbage and sewage are everywhere..."
The captain said a lot of the ills of the city. Sis Protus thought it was very funny. He often came to Asptum City, feeling that it is no different from Tarantum. When the Asians said those questions, they immediately asked: "Are you not Greek?"
"We are Lukaria, but we are Dionia citizens!" the city guard captain said loudly.
"Your Greek is good." Sis Protus praised it and then turned around: "I heard that you are all mountainous in the Lucania region, the land is poor, and you often don't eat enough. The living environment is still so concerned."
"Since our tribe joined Dionya, we have not been hungry!" The captain was humiliated and shouted: "The place we used to live in is really inferior to the house here, but here Compared with Turui I have seen, it is far worse!"
