Dionysius certainly does not frustrate his morale for a Spartan. He only needs to understand how to deal with the Devonian infantry next time, so he smiles and says: "Of course this time. The fiasco of the battle, the Diaonians have no chance to fight with us again, it is difficult to say."
It’s the turn of Fibidas to be puzzled. He asked directly:
Why do you say that? The Dionyns did not have major casualties, and with the strength of its city-state alliance, it is possible to organize another strength. Not weaker than the army of Syracuse."
Dionysius smiled: "Fibidas, you are really talented in the military, but to defeat and destroy a country, you can do it by fighting alone."
He looked up, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the big account, seeing the Dionysian consul who was trekking in the Lucania region... with a mocking sneer on his face, proudly saying: "Samonet The human invasion has already made Dionya a headache, but today's victory in this battle will have a huge impact on the big Greece! And the troubles of Dionia have just begun, not in Dionia. Before we got out of trouble and couldn’t concentrate all our forces to stop us, what we need to do now is to quickly conquer other city-states of the South African Alliance, to break into the territory of Dionia, to let its people panic and let its affiliated cities Uneasy and shaken..." Dionysius said with a slap in the face: "The last easy sign - service - it!"
"Adults are right! Conquer the Great Greece early, we can go home soon!" Fassi Pissas loudly echoed.
"Let us conquer the big Greek toast soon!" The usual low-key Le Putinies was excited by Dionysius.
"We should kill more big Greeks and more loot!" Axi Lita said with a big mouth and a slightly embarrassed expression. He didn't have much interest in conquering Great Greece. After all, the land he occupied would not be given to his tribe. He needed more food, money, and even slavery to grow his tribe.
Celtic leader Gaba also holds the same mind.
When everyone else picked up the glass, Pfeidas also barely stood up. He couldn't be sure: If Syracuse easily defeated Dionia, is it good or bad for Sparta?
The celebrations in the big account did not last long, because the Silitian messenger came.
In the battle, the civic soldiers in Xi Liting suffered heavy losses, but now they are sent to the messenger late at night, and their purpose can be imagined.
Dionysius deliberately did not appear for a long time, leaving the messenger who was left out to restless. When Dionysius appeared, he immediately asked the Sicilian lord to ask for the surrender of Syracuse to Syracuse.
Dionysius had planned for this. He deliberately dismissed it and expressed his anger to the messenger: Siriton has always been active against Syracuse and his allies, Locke, and now suffers a fiasco and looks The city is going to be captured, only to think about surrendering. It is not sincerity. The West Chamber must pay the price for the wrong way before it can make him feel the sincerity of the Silitese.
The messenger apparently did not have the young arrogance of the messenger who had come to the next essay, and he immediately whispered in a low voice.
Dionysius’s look is a little embarrassed: To make Syracuse accept the surrender of the Syracuse, one thousand sheep, fifty cows, and 30,000 pounds of grain must be sent to Syracuse tomorrow morning. In the big camp, Syracuse will accept the request for the Silit War.
When the Silitian messenger heard it, he immediately screamed: Dionysius demanded a huge amount of materials, and Sileing could not get the materials in half a day, hoping to halve the number.
Dionysius's cold-hearted expression: This is the time to show the sincerity of Xiliting. These materials can't be sent to the military camp tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, Syracuse attacked the Xili court!
The Silitian messenger rushed back to the city and informed Dionysius of the tough demands of the board.
Form is stronger than people! After a fierce debate, the high-ranking Siriting, who faced the pressure of the army, decided to agree with the conditions of Dionysius and once again sent several generals headed by Prestinis to the Syracuse camp to negotiate to determine the surrender of the Siritun. Treatment problem.
Dionysius made some concessions, and soon the two sides signed the agreement and each swore to the gods.
Pretisnis and others temporarily breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the city to prepare supplies. Xi Liting is not able to take out these materials. After surrendering these things, the Xi Liting people will have a hard time in the second half of the year, but the difficulty is always better than the Syracuse people, not to mention the Siri. The court surrendered and joined the army of Syracuse and fought against the former allies. Dionysius also gave the Slyings some conditions to draw them, so that Pletinis were very tempted, such as the original European fee of Trina. The eastern part of the Mia plain is assigned to the Siri court...
In this battle, Syracuse won the victory with absolute superiority, and the horrified Silean Council thought: the future of the South Italian League led by Dionia, and the first to the south of Syracuse The Italian League city, the West Court will also get a lot of benefits.
So from the afternoon to the evening, the entire West Riding City was busy...
Early the next morning, the Silitians rushed into groups of cattle and sheep, loaded with grain trucks, and rushed out of the city. Of course, there were several generals and followers such as Pretisnis. They went to Di. Onisius discussed matters such as sending troops to the army.
When the long team was half out of the city, a large number of cavalry appeared in the open fields outside the city, and they murdered to the unarmed team.
This sudden blow made the Silitese panicked and ran away. Countless cattle and sheep and the brakes were blocked at the gate of the city, which caused the gate to be closed and the suspension bridge could not be pulled up.
"Dionysius lied to us! He wants to capture our city!!" Pretisnis realized it at this time, it was already late.
The dust in front is filled, the footsteps are rumbling, and the large forces of Syracuse are rapidly approaching the city...
"Dionysius, you violated the vows and deceived the gods. I cursed you for being smashed and smashed, and the blood was cut off!..." Pretienne was stabbed in the front chest by a Numibia cavalry with a javelin. Before the death, the hatred of the full body was turned into this vicious curse.
The army of Syracuse easily broke through the unguarded West Riding City, and this army of Greek city-state citizens, mercenaries and aliens did not stop there...
The Silitese wanted to escape from the fallen city, but the port was full of the fleet of Syracuse, and there were countless interracial cavalry outside the city. They had nowhere to escape...
As a result, the atrocities that the Syracuse once carried out in the city of Sicily, such as Kataney and Naxos, are now staged in the West of the Great Greece - the massacre.
Dionysius did not stop his soldiers or even indulge them. This army, which has been looted by his long-term deliberate indulgence, was severely controlled by him a while ago. After a series of continuous marches and battles in the General Assembly, he needed a release... Of course, this is only one of the minor the reason.
More importantly, he lacks money! Serious lack of money! It is difficult to pay the mercenary after three months, and looting is the quickest way to get money.
In addition, he needs to amplify the impact of this battle, to tell the Great Greeks in a shocking way: it would be such a tragic end to be against him!
The army of Syracuse looted the city, and of course the majority of the wealth that was robbed belonged to Dionysius.
In addition to the numerous Siritians killed during the looting process, he also decided to capture nearly 70,000 Siriting people, including the free people in the port, all turned into slaves and transported to the slave market in Syracuse. , sell the money.
In addition to this, several people were neither killed in the looting nor sold as slaves. Dionysius called the guards to find them and protect them. They are the Siriton messenger Sarisius and his family who threatened him before.
Dionysius took them to the West Square, in front of tens of thousands of Siriant captives, brutally using sharp swords to cut Sarisius and his family from all over the body and blood.
In the screaming curse of Sarisius, he announced loudly: "Any big Greek who insults me and insults the Syracuse will be like this!"
He slashed his head and fell to the head of Sarisius.
Tens of thousands of Silitants in the audience were stunned.
The reason why he did not destroy the West Riding City like the destruction of Katane is because the position of the West Chamber is more important than Trina. Not only because of the large size of the city, but also can accommodate more than 70,000 troops (the Syracuse side killed more than 3,000 people in the battle), and the east coast of the Great Greece is the main direction of his attack. He will use Sirikit as an important forward base for Siracusa to attack Dionia and Crotone, and the army, navy, and especially the grain of Syracuse can be concentrated here, and it is the next step to the north. Springboard.
Of course, for the high-lying, rugged roads, which are not conducive to the march of the army and all the indiscriminate West Coast (referring to the Britti area), Dionysius has no desire to attack, but he also has his own considerations.
He found dozens of soldiers from different Bruty tribes and captains from the captives, and they met them with a good color, telling them through translation: Syracuse people came to Greece, not to enslave them. Instead, they are freed from the strict rule of Dionia and given the freedom they once enjoyed! And, as long as they are willing to fight against Diaonia and fight for themselves, when the war is over, Syracuse will give them more fertile land, such as the plains of Orpheia, the plains of Sobari...
