Vol 8 Chapter 33: Dionys vs Rome (2)


It is said that the collection of food is actually robbing by force. Because Rome and its allies often work together, they have long had a more professional logistics support system, and there are specialized munitions officers to prepare food. The main food comes from the unified transfer of the Senate and the ally. . However, the Roman army often collects food in enemy-occupied areas, which can serve to weaken the enemy and strengthen oneself.
But now Camillaus is clearly aware that these scattered infantry squadrons are likely to be the target of the Dionysian cavalry attack: "Freus, we better prepare the light infantry, once the Diaonian cavalry is discovered Wandering to the north of our camp and attacking the soldiers we returned, we immediately sent a light infantry brigade to drive away the enemy and pick up the returned boys."
Freuds said disapprovingly: "Dainea's cavalry is likely to come from Serre, and there are nearly 40 miles from Serre to us. Even though the Dionian cavalry is going so far, it is going so far. After a long distance, it is impossible to spare any more to invade our soldiers in the north."
"We don't know the Diaonians, but don't underestimate them! It's always wrong to prepare in advance," Camilleus patiently reminded.
"Well, I will arrange it." Freuz said with a shrug.
He was about to turn around and the guards rushed in: "The two military and political officials, there are a lot of black cavalry in the south of the military camp!"
Camilles and Frius were in a tight heart and stepped out of the big account.
In the camp, the news that "the cavalry was attacked by an unknown cavalry" was spreading, causing the commotion of the soldiers. Many people were whispering to discuss the matter and asked Camilles and Freuz.
How could they answer, and they quickly came to the wall of the campsite in the south of the camp. The walkway on the wall was full of soldiers. They looked at the camp curiously and whispered something.
The two climbed up the tower and looked out: only a few hundred meters away, there were hundreds of black cavalry, lined up in a neat queue, with several flags on top, and the top of it exudes dazzling golden light. They stood quietly, although only a hundred rides, but gave a feeling of not to be underestimated.
"I heard that the military flag of the Dionyrian army is inlaid with the golden statues of their gods. It seems that this is indeed the cavalry of Dionia!" Freuz said with a dignified expression.
Camillaus did not speak, his eyes fixed on the top of the helmets of the Dionysian cavalry with a bright cap on the top of the crown, speculating on the purpose of the Devonians before the military camp.
.......................................
At this moment, Amintas was among the cavalry, and he was carefully observing the arrangement of the Roman military camp.
"Go ahead." Amintas said, driving the horse forward, the cavalry also had to hurry up.
There was a buzz in the camp of Rome.
"The head of the army, you can't go any further!" Adelaide Lala shouted loudly.
"Aristonos, you are the son of Scombrus (Scomb Blas, although he is the oldest in the Senate, often slams his opponents at the venue and has been nicknamed 'Growler'.), inherited his bravery." Amintas relaxed and jokingly said: "Did you stay in the staff for a while, your courage is gone?!"
After listening to Princetons, there was no reaction on his face.
Aristonos didn't have a heart to talk about, he hurriedly said: "The head of the army, I am worried about your safety!"
"It’s still far from the enemy camp, let alone we are riding horses.
Amintas smiled and turned to look to the side: "If the enemy cavalry rushes out, Ledes, will your cavalry protect me?"

The first cavalry commander, Rydes, said earnestly: "According to the situation of our previous battle with the Roman cavalry, their cavalry is far from our opponent, so don't worry, even if they come out with more cavalry, I also Can guarantee that you will be safely sent back to the camp."
"Haha, I will wait for you! Our cavalry has an advantage, this is good news!" Amintas laughed as he watched the Roman military camp.
Not long after, the smile on his face disappeared. Although the Romans had a great advantage in the battle with the Wolsey, they obviously did not relax their vigilance. The camp was never built: dense The Luzhai, which is arranged under the wall of the wall, surrounds the trenches of the entire camp, and the towering towers behind the wall are one every twenty or thirty meters, and there are also the bases and the high walls of the wooden walls. He could not see the situation inside the camp at all.
In addition to not knowing whether traps were placed outside the camp, Light observed from the outside, Amintas felt that the defense of the Roman camp could not be underestimated, so he frowned and whispered: "This camp can be difficult to attack."
At this time, Printos said in a righteous way: "The head of the army, there is still a point that needs our attention! In a short time before we arrived at the camp, the soldiers were covered with soldiers." Pointing to the intensive but not messy Roman soldiers on the front wooden wall, reminding Amintas: "This shows that this Roman army is well trained! If you want to take their camp before their troops meet, destroy this A Roman army, the difficulty will be great! The casualties of the First Army will never be low!"
Amintas was silent for a while and said: "Then fight with them!"
"Amintas, now the Romans probably know that our army is coming. Do they dare to go out to fight with us and the Worthy?" Leeds euphemistically reminded.
"I have to give it a try!" Amintas said, and I felt that this possibility was not too big, because they had circled the Roman camp for half a lap and found that everything was basically the same, no obvious defect. Through the observation of the camp, he has a preliminary understanding of the characteristics and style of this Roman army and its generals: this is a cautious, conscientious army!
Can it really only be stationed in the camp to defend against the attack of the big forces after the confluence of the Romans? ! Amintas is unwilling.
Just as he was preparing to transfer the horse back to the place where the camp was to be built, a detective ride came from the northwest: "Reporting the head of the Ledes army, in the former village of Worthy found several Roman troops are looting food, Captain Adam Smith asked if he wanted to destroy it. (According to the preparation of the Dionysian cavalry, there is a cavalry regiment of 2,000, with four brigades under the jurisdiction of 500, each brigade; one brigade has five company, one There are 100 companies in the company; and a company has 10 teams and 10 teams.)"

How many enemies?
Ledes asked.
"About more than 200 enemies." The detective replied.
"There is no fat to eat at the mouth, is Adam Smith stupid?!" Ledes immediately said: "You tell the captains, destroy them as much as possible!"
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Amintas shouted at him: "Are you only seeing more than 200 enemies? Or are there only 200 enemies outside the camp?"
Amintas’s question was a bit circumvented, but the cavalry understood. He pointed to the northwest and said:
The head of the army of Amintas, our team is in this direction, we have not searched elsewhere.

Amintas immediately turned to look at Ledes: "Old friends, I need your help! Send these cavalry behind you, check out how many Roman soldiers are looting food in this area, then Give me a quick return!"
"Okay." Ledes did not refuse, he immediately turned to the cavalry to give the task.
"The head of the Arminus Army, do you want to use these Roman soldiers to lure their big troops out?" Printos's brain responded quickly, roughly guessing the intention of Amintas.
Amintas looked at him and said with a little excitement: "We can't do anything. We watched the Romans meet, and when the 50,000 troops were pressed, the First Corps would be even better. Can't stop it!"
Under his gaze, Printos nodded his opinion.
"Aristonos!" Amintas said back to the adjutant: "Send the speed of the investigation to inform the brothers of the First Legion, let them stop building camps, wear armor, take good weapons, and line up to march to the Roman military camp. , always waiting for my order."
"Yes!" Aristonos answered with excitement.
At this time, Ledes has sent some cavalry ~EbookFREE.me~ After hearing the order from Amintas, he has to remind: "The situation is not completely clear, you should not do this first. Big move, in case there are only more than 200 enemies there, in case the Roman army in the camp will not be out of business, you are not only busy, but also blame the soldiers!"
"They dare!" Amintas glanced at him, and then said with a firm tone: "Wait until you understand everything, and then prepare, I am afraid it will be late! We are afraid that this time only has the chance to let the Romans Fight with us!"
"I agree with the opinion of the head of the army of Amintas. I have to try it. If the final situation is not what we think, let the soldiers stay in the city of Polafornam tonight, and then build the camp tomorrow." Lintors said that he discovered a characteristic of Amintas: the commander of the army had a strong desire to fight and did not let go of any small fighter.
He went on to say: "In addition, we also need to remind the Wolverham and the Worthy troops in the city of Setia in advance. Once the Romans in the camp really kill, we need to join them to defeat them."
"I am only responsible for fighting the Romans. All these other cumbersome things are handed over to you, how?" Amintas asked very simply.
