Vol 6 Chapter 141: Syracuse's response

At this moment, Dionysius glanced at everyone in the account, his eyes falling on a person in the corner: "Andros Tini, what are you doing?! The Dionysian fleet used such a strange device, You didn't find out, let our fleet suffer such a big loss, you said that you should accept punishment?!"
Andros Tennyton turned pale. In fact, the entire intelligence chief of Syracuse is Hipparinus, and he is just one of the leaders, following the army. The Dionysian fleet was already training new tactics before the start of the war. Androstini remembered the information from Turui at the time and said that the Dionysian fleet had closed training in the Krati River. It’s just that Dionysius, or Hipparinus and he didn’t take it to heart, paying more attention to the number of Dionysian three-layer paddles, who the generals are, etc. After all, Thira Kuzza’s advantage in the navy is too great, and no one has put Diana’s inconspicuous fleet in his eyes.
Who knows that Dionysius now seems to have all the guilt of this failure on Andros Tini, but he dare not refute, who told him that he is neither the brother of the lord nor his father-in-law?
Andros Tini’s heart was dark and his face was sincere and fearful:
Adult, I...I...

Dionysius waved his hand: "Your guilt, wait until the end of the war and then pursue it carefully! From now on, you must collect the information of Dionia more carefully, no more omissions, know?"

Although Dionysius hated his brother's incompetence, he had to defend him, because maintaining him is to maintain his own dignity. Therefore, he wants to share the guilt of the failure of the naval battle.
Although Andros Tini was temporarily not subject to punishment, his heart was secretly complaining: Now that Turui and Krimisa have carried out a strict military blockade, it is very difficult to pass on intelligence.
"Leptires, if you install this wooden bridge on the Dionian warship on our warship, do you think it is feasible?" Dionysius turned his eyes to the naval commander who was still sitting on the ground.
The generals were a little surprised: this is tantamount to abandoning the naval experience and traditions that Syracuse and even the Greek city-states have proven to be effective for centuries, to learn from a new city-state alliance that has only won a naval battle. does it work? !
But Dionysius is not a conservative person. On the contrary, he is a reformer and a pragmatist. This proves both the reorganization and reform of the army and the advancement of siege techniques.
"I... I don't know, because I have never done this training..." Leptinies is obviously a conservative, and he reluctantly swears and said: "And on the Dionian warship. The wooden bridge is so flexible, I am afraid there are some special devices. I think... I can't do it in a short time, and... I have to equip it on the ship and fight the Dionians. This... It takes time to train..."
"That's a good study with engineers and craftsmen!" The temper of Leptinies made Dionysius angry again: "It's too late, when the Denia fleet came, it was in our There are enough soldiers on the ship! The Dionians don't want to turn the naval battle into a land war? Then let us play at sea!"
"But adults..." Leptinis cautioned: "Our three-layer paddles are not enough..."
"Idiot!" Dionysius yelled: "Bring me back to the fleet in Messina, and the port of Syracuse is also recruited! In addition, send someone to inform Philiptos and let him Do you understand how to build a new warship?!"
The head of Lep Tignes is like a chicken glutinous rice.
"Get out of me, hurry and do it!" Dionysius's voice just fell, and Leptinies was much faster than he came in.
Dionysius did not care about this, and he knew very well that despite these measures, in a short period of time, the strength of the fleet of Dionia has already prevailed.
For Syracuse to fight across the sea, the right to control the sea is crucial. Once it is lost, it means that the connection between the army and the mother state is cut off. The floating of the Syracuse army is a trivial matter. The lack of local resources and the inability to control the affairs of Syracuse are the most fearful of Dionysius. And Davers has led the main force back, and now there is no intrusion and containment by the Syracuse fleet. He can always lead the army south, which makes Dionysius "whether he wants to attack Crotone completely" There was a shake.
At this moment, Dionysius insisted on calmly saying: "Now our fleet has suffered a failure. You all talk about it. What should we do next?"
"Adults, of course, are going to attack Crotone because they said before!" Astagras said without hesitation: "Although we are no longer at sea, on the land, Dionia People can't resist our powerful army! As long as we win Crotone, there is no big obstacle to the north, we can go directly to the city of Turui, even if there are more ships in Dionia, it is useless. When the time is war and peace, it’s up to you to decide!"
"Adult, I also agree with General Astagras." Faxi Pesas seemed to feel the thoughts of Dionysius, and also said: "The Tarantum is still threatening the map in the north. Lie, we should take the time to win Crotone! If we retreat at this time and let the Dionynes join the Crotones, the number of soldiers they gather will probably cause us even greater. Trouble!"
"Dionysius is an adult." Campanian mercenary leader Enmanus also stood up and said: "The soldiers are now fighting high because they all know that Crotone is a very wealthy city-state, if we give up Attacked it..."
The generals in the account all attacked Crotone, which made the balance in Dionysius's mind biased to the side of the attack, but he did not immediately make a decision, but turned his attention to the only person who did not speak. Asked: "Fibidas, what is your opinion?"
Fitzidad, who has always been straightforward, has a rare hesitation. From Sparta's point of view, Syracuse and Dionya maintain a balance of power and are more favorable to Sparta, so peace talks are actually a better choice. But in the middle of it, Phibidas was aroused by the excellent performance of Daves. He hated to defeat the young consul who was hailed as a "famous" by the big Greeks, so he said: "They all said It makes sense that attacking Crotone can make us take the initiative. More importantly, we can force the Diaonians to have to come to rescue Crowe before they have completely settled for other wars and are not fully prepared. Tone, thus ensuring that we have an advantage in the decisive battle with Dionia. If you are worried that the Dionysian army may suddenly strike when we attack the city, are you not so many cavalry, why not Let them go further north to scout?!"
Dionysius glanced at Phibidas and looked around at the generals. Haha smiled: "I have something to worry about! The Dionians only won a naval battle and they thought we could let us Does the Kuza retreat! No! This will only make us more focused on the land attack!"
Dionysius stood up and took out the saber. He slammed it into the table and screamed: "From now on, all the troops will give me time to prepare for the siege, two days. Then try to capture the city of Crotone!"
"Take Crotone!!" The crowd shouted in unison.
....................................
"Mother, I am coming back!"
"we are back!"
"砰", Cynthia pushed hard to open the wooden door of the backyard.
"Mother, we won! We won the terrible enemies! Don't look at their ships, they are all captured by us!" Adoris excitedly ran to Cly Stovia.
Clithista still didn't answer, and a woman next to her smiled and said, "I'm right, Davers... There is Hades' blessing, you will win, you don't have to worry. !"
Her voice has not fallen, and Aunt Grace has stood up with joy: "I am going to thank Artemis!"
Said, she licked her stomach and walked quickly to the statue of Artemis on the side of the garden.
"Slow down, be careful of the fetus!" Clystoya said with concern, and the personal maid of Grace, has caught up with it.
"Isn't Grace is not the priest of Hera?" The woman was a little surprised~EbookFREE.me~ You have to know that Aunt Grace did not come to Turui before, but in the city of Lijim, Artemis The main priest of the temple. During this time, she was only pregnant at home because she was pregnant. She only prayed to the goddess of hunting every day in order to protect the safety of Dafos, and it was really hard for her! Christovia said with emotion.
"Auntie Andrea, hello!" At this time, Cynthia said hello to women.
"Cynthia, you haven't seen it for a few years, you have become a big girl!" Andrea was happy to look at Cynthia, and then held her in her arms.
"Mother, I tell you a secret, when we celebrate the victory, there is a boy he hugged-"
"Shut up, Adoris! You dare to talk, be careful that I am jealous of you!" Cynthia's face was reddish and threatened loudly.

What happened in the end?
Clystoa asked with a smile.
Under the contempt of Cynthia, Adoris did not dare to speak.
