Vol 6 Chapter 74: The march of Dionia and the rush of Syracuse

When the trumpeter played a heart-warming treble whistle, the Spartan warriors sang a shuddering ode to the ancient heroes, and when they rushed to them in a uniform manner, these Greek city-state soldiers often collapsed. He turned and fled without fighting, and he was not willing to take risks against Sparta. The Spartans rely on this kind of terror atmosphere and a killing that was created on the battlefield through the military as a whole, and have shocked other Greek city-states for centuries.
The large number of troops in Syracuse has not made Fibidas uneasy in the past. But the tenacious obedience of the Dionysian army and the uniform attire caused his inner fear at this time. He seemed to see another Spartan army. Although they were wearing black instead of red, their soldiers were more than Sparta is much more...
It takes only one Spartan in the Mediterranean! Filbidas thought strongly in his heart.

The third leg led by Alexis had just arrived at Picosis. Daves didn’t even have time to talk to him more than a few words. Instead, he told him his own plan of war and got his consent. Immediately ordered him to lead the Third Army to attack North Bosnia and Herzegovina.
From Picosis to Poseidonia, this coastal area has no south-east coast from Turai to Crotone and then to Rocky. It is mostly mountainous and hilly. The ground is rugged and undulating.
The third army map will also take Elia on the difficult march.
As a city-state of the Dionysian League, Elia’s chief general, Canos, did not hesitate to get the news, personally convened 1,500 civic soldiers, and then joined the ranks of the Third Army. After the Samonai occupied Posénia, Elia was directly under the fierce Samonese army. The Elias expected Dionia to repel this evil from the north. The wolf, let Elia restore peace.
Half a day after the third legion left, Davers led the first and second legions to the north.
Picosis’s chief executive, Anta Orris, was not idle, and he would help prepare for the supply of the 30,000 soldiers. The food consumed by such a large army must also be amazing. It is impossible to satisfy the city of Picosis. Fortunately, Dionia has a reserve granary in Grummantum, which can temporarily satisfy so many people. The need for combat during the period. If the combat time is extended, Cosenza's granary must also be called, which is why Davers wants to speed up the action. Anta Orris also had to prepare for the brakes and manpower, and under the command and leadership of the regiment's heavy camp, the grain was transported to the frontline camp of Davers. This is a complicated and cumbersome work that continues to be manpowered. However, with the help of experienced and heavy operations, with the assistance of the powerful Anta Orris, the active cooperation of the Chief Executive of Grummantum Bakuule Everything is going well.

In the afternoon, after the meeting with the Elia army, the Third Corps turned to the northeast, preparing to bypass the vast mountainous area of ​​Elia's north sea, while Poseidonia was just north of the mountain.
Halfway through, the Third Army Map stopped moving forward and began to build camps.
The movement they made was so great that it was easily discovered by the Samonese spies.
"What do you say?! The Dionyns appear in the south of the Stella Mountain and camp in the banks of the Arento River?!" The Pentini leader in the city of Poseidon, screaming at the food Heiney was shocked.
"Yes, the leader. They have more than 10,000 people! And we are quietly approaching their camp. We also found that the banner erected in their camp is written with the 'Third Legion'!" The anxious words of the spy are mixed. A bit of self-sufficiency.
"Diaonia's third legion! Shouldn't they be in Grummantum?! How come here?!" Pihini didn't have an appetite at the moment, and he just took a few muttons in his hand. Throw it on the table and lower his head and wipe the grease from his mouth on his dirty leather gown.
"I think the Dionys must have heard that Posénia was captured by us, and they rushed in and wanted to take it back." Another leader, Mobuk, guessed.
"Diaonia comes to 10,000 people, and we only have 3,000 fighters! And they came so fast, the place where we were destroyed by guns before the city of Poseidon has not been repaired, how can we prevent it? Their offense!" Pihini irritated and walked back and forth in the house.
"So we have to send people to Potentia immediately and ask for help from the big leader!" Mobuk reminded.
"This is of course! And... you will immediately inform the soldiers, no matter how late you are tonight, give me the gaps in the walls!" Pihini slammed his fists on the wood. On the table.

At dusk, Alexis sent all members of the reconnaissance squad to drive and kill the Samonah spies in the surrounding area.
It was night, the 20,000-strong army led by Daves quietly entered the city of Elia, and the Elias who had been notified by Alexis in advance had already vacated the local arch to wear the Olympian army.
....................................
On the same day, in Lockley, the army of Syracuse finally gathered, and the return of the detective surprised Dionysius and others: in just one and a half days, the camp in Dionia was already It has a scale.
The news strengthened his implementation of his new plan: the army was divided into two parts, of which more than 20,000 were commanded by Faxi Pesas and united with more than 10,000 soldiers in Lockheed, a total of 40,000, trying to attack The Camp of Dionya to contain them. And he personally rateed more than 50,000 troops, going west through the ancient road between the mountains, reaching the west coast of the great Greece, and then turning to the north...
In order to prevent the drag and delay the speed of the march, Dionysius’s army did not carry a large number of heavy weights. Instead, the fleet in Lockley was loaded with supplies from the port, bypassing the Strait of Messina and then along the Great Greece. On the west coast, go north with the army on land.
.................................
When the Lijim people saw a ship that was continuous and the Syracuse ships drove through the distance in the distance, the fear in their hearts could be imagined, and even some people panicked and shouted: "Syracuse People are coming! They are going to land!!..."
It turned out to be a false alarm afterwards, but it did cause a lot of panic to the people of Lijim. Even many members of the council asked: to transfer back the troops in Taurus to defend against the landing of the Syracuse. .
Attili Cruz did not have a idea for a moment, and immediately sent a messenger to Tao Rui.
In the Turin, the Fiordino was first rewarded by the detective: found that the Syracuse army crossed the mountain road and headed towards Medma. The cavalry as a striker had already passed the city of Medma and continued to move forward.
Then the port lighthouse came to an urgent report: the Syracuse fleet of thousands of cargo ships was found to sail north through Taurin.
An hour later, there was a Lijim merchant ship rushing into the port of Taurin from the north to report that the fleet of Syracuse did not enter Medma but continued north.
"It seems that Syracuse is preparing to attack Trina to the north. We are now safe for the time being." Tao Ruina, the general in charge of the leader, sighed with relief.
Pittard’s look was not easy, and his face said sullenly:
If the South Allied forces in the north are defeated, it will be a matter of time before Li Jim and Taurina are attacked.

"That depends on whether our allies can withstand the attack of Syracuse and even defeat them..." Krilotas was ridiculed by the words of Philippine, he said with some expectation, and then seemed to I felt that this hope was a little embarrassing, and sighed and said: "Unfortunately, the governor of Dionia, Dafos, led his main force to defend against the Samonet! If he can lead the team back in time, the Allied victory is still Can increase a lot!"
"So we can't make the Syracuse people such an easy attack!" Fidelity said with a deep face and said loudly.
Krilotas was shocked.
..............................
In the afternoon, Lijim’s messenger rushed to Taurine and severely asked Felton to lead the army back.
Philippine deliberately delayed the time and urgently sent his men back to Lijim.
At dusk, Philippine was still unable to bring the soldiers together, and the result was postponed until the next day on the grounds that
the dark could not march
.
Early the next morning, I found out that the Syracuse fleet had already left Taurin and did not attack Lijim. Attilus Cruz’s request was cancelled by EbookFREE.me~ The order to recall the army.
His men’s eagerness to quickly return to Tao Ruina stopped the Lijim army’s unnecessary round-trip march. This is a follow-up.
.................................
On this day, in order to speed up the speed of the large mixed army of Syracuse, Dionysius thought a lot of ways. The most effective thing is that he sent people to each unit to promote: Who is the first to catch up? After going to Hibernian, after breaking the enemy pool, he will allow them to be the most advanced city, and the army that arrives will not have the right to share the spoils.
The troops of Dionysius are not as disciplined as the Dionysian army. Because of the large number of mercenaries, in order to maintain high morale, his soldiers often smashed and looted in the city after breaking the city, in Motiya. Thus, the same is true of Katanay and Naxos in the Greek city-states of Sicily. In fact, Syracuse's destruction of the Greek city-state of Sicily is no less than that of the Carthaginians, which is why the Greeks of Sicily are afraid but hate Dionysius.
The words of Dionysius really acted as an incentive, and the various units rushed forward, and the Numidian cavalry and the Celtic cavalry rushed to the forefront.
