Vol 8 Chapter 139: Strike in Rome (11)

"Great!" Lizaru punched a hammer in front of Midolades, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your trust, Midolades!"
"This is all for Dionia!" Midorades responded with a positive color.
"You can rest assured that I will not let the fleet infantry suffer a lot of damage!" Lizzar also made a guarantee, and then said to the adjutant: "Come and call Ulaza!"
He is going to let Urazza replace him to command the entire Third Legion to attack the South Bank of Rome, and he will lead the two infantry battalions left behind in the camp and the 2,000 Third Fleet infantry to go out to meet the Roman reinforcements. After all, he is the head of the army. It is easier for the fleet infantry to accept his command.
................................................
Vijay, a town built by Etruscans, is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Tiber River, northeast of the city of Rome, about forty miles apart, and is one of the twelve Union city states of Etruscan. Since the founding of the city in Rome, it has been the enemy of the Romans. In order to compete for the control of the land on both sides of the Tiber River, the two sides have had many wars in the past 100 years.
From the initial passive beatings to the mutual wins and losses, and then to the upper hand, the Romans can be said to have gone through the rough. Finally, more than 20 years ago, after a decade of siege, Camilos led the army to break through the love of the city, based on hatred. And the interests, the Romans killed all the rebellious Viennese people, captured women and children as slaves, and completely occupied the land of love, as a colonial town of Rome.
Soon after, due to the fierce clash between the Roman aristocrats and the civilians, most of the civilians left the city of Rome and went to live in Wei. Then the Celtic invasion, the Roman city was occupied, Camilles assembled the Romans and the Latins to drive away the Celtics, the Roman aristocracy and civilians once again bridge the contradictions, rebuild the Roman city, many settled in love Roman civilians also returned.
In order to prevent Vijay from becoming a refuge after the conflict between the Roman civilians and the nobility, thus weakening the strength of the Roman city itself, the Senate passed a bill to classify the fertile land near the Tiber River in the south of the city of Vito as the public land of the Roman city. Thus, this Etruscan city, which is almost the same as Rome and more prosperous than Rome, has become a medium colonial city in Rome.
Since the residents of the city of Vito are Roman citizens, they will respond to Rome’s first call (ie follow Camelus to attack the Helsinki) and hear that the city of Rome has been attacked again. More than 500 people were squeezed out to rescue.
In addition to Vai's army to rescue Rome, there is also Caisra, which is also one of the Etruscan twelve-federal city-states. It is located on a hill about fourteen miles from the sea. The north bank of the Tiber estuary is nearly sixty miles away. Because it has iron ore and produces high-quality pottery, it is well-known in the north-central part of Italy, and it has always been prosperous and prosperous.
Moreover, this city-state is very good at getting along with other forces. When most of the Etruscan city-states are in a tight relationship with Rome, it maintains a good relationship with Rome and invades the city in the Celts. In the case of being broken, the Kasera people also sheltered many Romans who fled from the fall of the Roman city in various mountain villages in the territory. Therefore, when the Roman power resumed and began to attack the territory of Etruscan in the north. They appreciated the kindness of the Kasera, did not invade their territory, but invited Kasera to join the Roman League.
At the same time, the relationship between the Keslera and the Greeks is also very good, it is a small number of non-Greek cities with a holy library in Delphi (Delphi generally does not allow non-Greek city-states to own the holy library), which It is very amazing.
This time, in order to rescue the lord of Rome, Kasera also sent more than 500 soldiers.
There are also two reinforcements from the Etruscan Union city-states, which are volch and tarchna, which are also two close to the coast but built on the mountain. City-states with Etruscan characteristics, they are rich in mineral resources, and also have large ports and prosperous maritime trade.
In particular, Walch, as early as a hundred years ago, became the sea trade center on the west coast of the Italian peninsula. Its pottery, bronzes and wines were even exported to the Eastern Mediterranean. It was not only a maritime power but also controlled on land. There are numerous Etruscan tribes and small towns in the surrounding area.
Taljuna, like Victoria, is a feud with Rome. As early as a hundred years ago, it supported the overthrow of the Roman King Tajivin against Rome. However, these two powerful city-states have declined in the past few decades because of the constant invasion of the Celts and the harassment of the Romans. The massive invasion of the Celtics more than a decade ago caused the two cities to suffer. When it was hit hard, the city fell and the people were looted...
They have not slowed down from the war, and the Romans who drove the Celtics and received support from Carthage again invaded their territory. After suffering in successive battles, the people of the two cities had to choose to surrender.
Rome divided some of the land in the two cities and established two colonial cities - sutrium and cosa as Roman fortresses to control southern Etruscan, and at any time Surveillance of the movements of the two cities, so this time the Roman messenger sent for help, the two cities also sent reinforcements.
Of course, Sut Liem and Kosa also have reinforcements to follow, adding up to more than 2,000 people, and counting other soldiers who have surrendered to the Etruscan tribes and towns in Rome, with a total of more than 4,000.
The reinforcements of the towns such as Vais, Kaysera, and Walch have come together one after another, and there are still scattered soldiers arriving, but they are rewarded by the spies. "The Diaonians are attacking the city of Rome." The situation has not allowed them to wait slowly here, especially the Roman citizens of Vito have been rushing to rescue, so the leading generals from the Roman colonial city and the Etruscan city state quickly agreed, respectively Leading their respective civic soldiers, dragging and pulling toward the Roman vertebral bridge.
When they were two or three miles away from the Camp in Dionia, they again got the reward of the spies: about 4,000 Dionysians are marching fast, and they must pass!
Several of the generals were astonished and astonished by Paulus’s reaction: Did the Dionias not attack the city with all their might? ! How do you still have enough soldiers to fight with us? !
But the time is tight, and they are not allowed to think about it. They havetily started to deploy.
These more than 4,000 Roman reinforcements came from several Etruscan city-states, tribes, and Roman colonial cities. It is necessary to determine the affiliation of each unit and arrange the position of the array. It takes a lot of effort, so the entire army The formation has not yet begun, and the Dionysian army has appeared in their field of vision.
There are 2,000 fleet infantry and a light armored battalion in the army led by Lizaru, so the action is relatively quick, and only one heavy infantry squad is slightly behind.
After rushing to the battlefield, Lizzar found that the Roman reinforcements did not expect the Dionia army to attack as he had previously envisaged. Therefore, without prior preparation, the entire army was still huddled together, such a good fighter, he again How could it be let go, without waiting for the heavy infantry brigade to arrive, he issued an order of attack: the fleet infantry attacked the enemy's left side, the light armored squad attacked the enemy's right side, leaving the positive space to the heavy infantry brigade that later arrived. .
Although neither of these units is a heavy infantry, according to the return of the detective: the number of heavy infantry in the Roman reinforcements is far less than half (the elite civics were previously recruited to attack the Helsinki). Therefore, Lizaru firmly believes that the two well-trained units can completely suppress the enemy by attack and insist on the arrival of the heavy infantry brigade.
The attacking military number blew, and the two units that were originally arranged into the battle column, in the process of slowing down the speed, the entire long column was quickly smashed into a course, and then no need to change position. , began to accelerate forward.
The weapons and equipment of the Fleet Infantry and the Light Armor are all the same. They are leather helmets, leather jackets, leather shields, and short swords. The biggest difference is the size of the leather shield and the javelin: the light armor is a land combat, so the leather shield is Big ~EbookFREE.me~ At the same time, like the heavy infantry, carrying two javelins; the fleet infantry is fighting at sea, in order to better balance, the leather shield is small, and does not carry javelin.
However, this time, because the heavy infantry of the Third Corps had to climb the embankment through the crow warship, it was inconvenient to throw a javelin and stay in the camp. Lizaru let the fleet infantry carry the javelin before convening the troops to meet the enemy. Although they do not use javelins in battles at sea, they are often trained in normal training, because javelin throwing is one of the four skills that the Dionysian infantry must master (the other three are freehand) Fighting, holding a sword fighting, holding a shield gun.
The rapid approximation of the Dionysian army forced the Roman reinforcements to proceed smoothly. They certainly could not be shrunk and passively beaten, so the attacking army was forced to blow, and the generals of the various reinforcements led the army of their city-state in a hurry. The killing of the Dionyrian army that was forced to come to him.
The distance between the two sides, which was several hundred meters apart, was quickly drawn in the sound of shouting.
"Javelin! Javelin! Javelin!..." In the screams of the team officers, the two units of the Venetian infantry infantry and light armor quickly stopped and quickly threw two rounds of javelin to the enemy. The momentum of the charge was interrupted, making the enemy's formation more chaotic, and then they shouted the name of Hades and rushed to the past...
