Vol 8 Chapter 73: Rescue Ascurum (1)

Miltias listened, thoughtfully.
"There is one more point. You'd better arrange a few Clippers in the port of West Pentum City. Once I need the assistance of the Fourth Fleet, I can quickly inform you."
After listening to this, Miltias shouted dissatisfaction: "Our fourth fleet is only a hundred ships! To inspect such a long coastline, to block any hostile forces from the sea, but also to help you fight... ... my warships and sailors are not enough!"
"If the fourth fleet performed well in this war, I think the military department will definitely consider increasing the size of the fourth fleet." Alexis can only encourage this.
................................................
Pleguules quickly assembled the Fourth Cavalry Corps, and Alexis immediately led the two thousand cavalry, out of Brindisi, and quickly headed north into the Puceti area.
In the evening, I finally arrived at the military camp near the city of Silvim.
When the fourth army leader, Melishanda, personally ushered Alexis into the barracks, Alexis, who had been running for a day and had almost no rest, was already tired and walked a little. After all, he was younger than 50 years old. The people are energetic, but he is still concerned about the question: "Is the Tenth Army already called up?"
"Brothers are in the military camp." The youngest army chief voice said: "When you wait for the commander, we will immediately go to the battlefield."
"Arrange the accommodation of the Cavalry Corps, and also arrange a place for me to sleep, let me sleep well." Desperately, Alexis couldn’t help but yawn: "Tomorrow... early in the morning, we will set off!"
The soldiers who heard this around were excited.
...................................................
In the early morning of the second day, the military number of the camp blew.
The soldiers of the 10th Corps and the 4th Cavalry Corps did not pack the armor and weapons on their shoulders as required, but hurriedly dressed them, walked out of the barracks and rushed to the playground.
In the camp meeting room, Alexis and Melishanda and Pleguulus urgently held a brief military meeting.
"Now, what is the enemy situation in the Danny area?" Alexis asked.
As the Tenth Army in the immediate vicinity of the Dani area, Melishanda naturally understood the most and most timely situation. He immediately replied: "According to the return of the detective yesterday, the large army of the Samonais is still surrounded. The cities of Askrum and Vibinum, the enemies of Gruum City, have not yet left, but a small number of Samonais rushed into the hinterland of Dani and looted..."
In fact, from the invasion of the Samonet to the present, it took more than two days for the Samonets to move to attack the new target so quickly.
Alexis then asked: "Where is the Eleventh Army?"
"Still in the military camp." Melishanda replied.
When the Dawny area was captured two years ago, Alexis was already familiar with the terrain there.
The central town of Duney, Lucena, is not located in the center of the Duni area, but is more northwest, closer to the mountains of the Samone, and there are no large towns on the west side as barriers. The Samonets are from the mountains. After the raid, if it is fast, it will take only half a day to get to the city. So after the Confucius area was conquered and Antonios became the chief executive of Lucenia, the chief executive of the army chief was wearing Foss wrote a letter suggesting that the military camp in the Duni area was located on the west side of the city of Lucerne as a fortress to guard the security of the city of Lucerne.
This proposal was approved by Davers.
Therefore, in the case of Askurum, Vibinum and Gruum are attacked, and the city of Lucerne may be attacked by three sides, the new 11th Corps stationed in the military camp, waiting for the reinforcements is safe. practice.
After studying for a moment, Alexis made a decision: "The Tenth Army and the Fourth Cavalry Corps crossed the river from the upper reaches of the River Avento and went directly to the rescue of Ascurom!"
"Yes!" Both Pleagulus and Melishanda were excited.
The deputy official Matthews reminded: "Commander adults, now we don't know how many enemies in Ascurom are there? Are there any ambushes?... It is not too much to rely on a legion and cavalry to attack. Take a risk? Be alert to the lessons of the First Legion!"
"I believe in the fighting power of the 10th Army and the 4th Cavalry Corps! I also believe that the Samonais will not expect our reinforcements to launch an attack on them so soon, which will make them lack of defense!" Alexis Raising his head and confidently said: "Even if Ascurom really has a large army of Samonets, it can surround us. As long as we can hold on, I believe that Caps, Antonios, and Tiger Titus Loss will definitely come to the rescue, just to beat the Samonets in one fell swoop!"
Alexis had seen the report of the First Legion. He was very clear: although his current strength and arms are very similar to those of Amritus who rescued Wolsey not long ago, they are different from Arminus’s alone. He is fighting in the country!
He firmly believes that in the event of an abnormality, Capps, Antonios... these old comrades will certainly rescue, even before, he and Antonios have some small contradictions.
.......................................
The siege of Ascurom is mainly the Pentene tribe. It should be said that their attack was very sudden. When they entered the territory of Ascurom, the Ascuroms were still grazing cattle and sheep or planting farmland, and they were completely unprepared.
Knowing that the Samonais invaded, many people panicked and ran to the city. The Samonei soldiers followed suit and attempted to rush into the city.
But Ascurom’s chief executive is Hagestus, the former Xilun tribe leader who bravely resisted the oppression of the Bruce tribal alliance and set off the war of Dionya’s conquest of Brudy. He also assisted Hilos in the South Italian War. After more than a decade, he served as the city chief of the Bruti, Mesapi and Puceti regions. He was transferred to the Duni area until the previous year. He can be said to be his administration. The resume is not only rich, but also familiar to the military.
A few months ago, he received a warning from the Ministry of Military Affairs: Asking the towns of Duni to step up their vigilance and beware of the attack by the Samonet!
He did not regard it as a child's play, not only mobilized the people to strengthen the city defense, increased the number of inspection teams to strengthen the patrol of the city, and at the same time, the citizens who participated in the military training gathered in the city square every few days, drilled one or two Hours of arrays and killings, and the citizens of the horses will be compiled into a small team, each day patrolling to the foot of the west to patrol...
After dozens of days, the Samoun mountain area was as usual and there was no trace of war. Due to repeated advice (after all, frequent military training was not conducive to the upcoming spring broadcast), he relaxed his alert slightly and reduced training. I didn't expect it to be at this time, the Samonais were killed.
The Ascuro Detective, who was patrolling the city, quickly discovered the enemy's situation and shouted: "The Samonais are killed!" The villagers who informed the passages evacuated and rushed to the city.
After Higsitus got the news, he was not too alarmed. He ordered: close the gate, pull up the suspension bridge, and sound the alarm, let the young and middle-aged citizens who are still in the city pick up the shield spear and defend the city.
At the same time, he also let the soldiers in the city shout at the people who fled the city, and advised them to flee to the more east of Hedorum. The gates of Ascurom will never be attacked by the enemy. opened!
It was because of the implementation of these measures that the Chamonai army, which was dominated by the Pentini soldiers, rushed to the city, and saw that the city of Ascurom had been prepared.
Although there are not many citizens who can fight in the city due to the raids of the Samonet, Ascurom is also a big city in the Domini area, with an eight-meter-high wall.
The Samonai rushed and did not carry the siege equipment. Badani could only let tens of thousands of soldiers out of the city to form a formation, roaring in unison, and wanting to threaten the Ascuroms to surrender.
How can He Gesittus be frightened by such a squad.
Badani had to camp outside the city.
In the following day, Badani ordered the soldiers to cut down trees, make a large number of ladders and coffins, and launched an offensive against Ascurom, in an attempt to take advantage of the many people and attack the road. This important town in the southwestern part of the Nigerian region revived the prestige of the Puntini tribe and his great leader.
So at the beginning, Badani ordered the troops to launch a storm. EbookFREE.me~ The Samona soldiers were carrying the ladder and the coffin, risking being hit by javelins and arrows, from the north, west and south. Rapid attack to the city.
As the chief executive, Higsitus came to the city and led the civic soldiers to resist.
The Samonai attacked the tide, a wave of frustration, and a wave of attacks. The continuous attack and the lack of strength of the Ascurom civic soldiers gradually resisted.
In the afternoon, the West Wall made the Samonais attack the city several times. Higsitus rushed to collect the remaining reserve soldiers. He finally drove him off the city again, and soldiers hurriedly The South Wall came: "Hugestus, the enemy attacked the city, and the Copkas patrol officer asked you for help!"
"Where do I have any reinforcements here?!" He Gesittus smiled, reaching out to smear the blood splashing on his face, obscuring the line of sight, watching the peasant soldiers who were so tired that they were overwhelmed, and the Samonei warriors came from under the city. The screaming of the ear, the timidity of the heart flashed away, he resolutely turned back and said to the administrative adjutant: "You immediately rushed to the city, summoned the old people, and rushed to the reinforcement of Nancheng! Persist! Tell Cobocas to hold on! As long as Today we are holding! The reinforcements will arrive tomorrow!"
