Vol 8 Chapter 182: In Ostia


"Not just the troops, I want to withdraw all the people and supplies in the city of Ostia, leaving the Romans an empty city." Daphus said with a sullen look: "Now the Roman army continues to have civilian soldiers fleeing to Rome. The number of people has reached 4,000, but Camilleus still leads the army to endlessly attack Ostia because he thinks Ostia is very important to us. We have to tell the Romans with facts, this is just Their fantasies! After their disillusionment, I want to know if they have lost their homes, have many casualties, and have few military supplies, can they continue to fight?!"
The words of Daphus made everyone in the room think.
"Tapirus." Davers looked at the diplomat and continued: "Can't just let us alone bear the attacks of the Romans, but also let our allies move! You go out to make Wolsey And Helsinki, telling them that the city of Rome has been captured by us, we are attracting the main force of Rome, they can take the opportunity to attack Rome and take back their territory!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"And...the city-states of Latin...there were enemies with Rome decades ago, I don’t believe that they are already like brothers in Rome. I heard that the Latin city of Tulsalon was still a few years ago. Rumors to betray Rome, almost annihilated by Rome... Go back and study it to see if you can win over several Latin city-states. I can make a promise, as long as they are willing to become the alliance of Dionia, our army will be against them. Autumn is not a crime, and it will protect their safety, just like Campania and Worthy..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best to complete the task you handed in!" Tapirus answered with excitement, and he thought that this time he had a place to use it.
.............................................
After the meeting was over, everyone dispersed.
Davers called several Roman reserve team officers headed by Sextus and announced the order to "suddenly love".
Compared with the excited colleagues, Sexus, who was appointed as the commander, was a little excited, but he still had the courage to ask: "When you occupy the city, how to deal with the people in the city?"
"Like Rome."
Daves's answer made Sykestus relieved.
Since the civilians in the city of Vito have migrated from the city of Rome, Sextus knows a lot of people, so he is very confident about the surprise plan proposed by Davers. Of course, he has not forgotten Dave. Sis reminder.
After stepping out of the Senate and convening Roman civilian soldiers, Sextus has already roughly conceived the offensive plan: he will select 120 of the Roman civilian soldiers who are most worthy of his trust and who are familiar with the loved ones. As a pioneer, first deceive the city gate. And he personally led 2,000 soldiers to succumb to the back, resolutely put an end to anyone leaving the team privately. Once they saw the pioneer in front of the gate, they immediately led the army to raid. This would avoid the possibility of someone whistleing and causing the action to fail. danger.
.............................................
Printos and Sextus, on the contrary, he does not have to worry about the soldiers, because he was originally in the mountain investigation team, Izam is very important to him, once said that he is the pride of the brigade, so he is known After the Mountain Ridge Investigation Brigade came to an important combat mission, he was very happy and actively cooperated with his command to improve the plan of the night attack on Keslera.
There are two problems that Plintols is worried about. First, the attack can only be done at night, but Keslera is more than 60 miles away from Rome. It is necessary to start from the land before landing in the evening. However, the mountain scouts who consumed a lot of physical strength still have the strength to climb the steep mountains, which becomes a problem. Fortunately, they can also take the water, and the waterway is fast and labor-saving. Therefore, Printos decided to let the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade soldiers take the cargo ships moored in the new port of Rome in batches, first to the port of Ostia, and in the evening they will be transported by ships to land on the coast near the city of Kesera. .
Second, how to climb over the mountains and the walls of Kesera in the dark. This may be a big problem for the soldiers of the Dionysian Army, but it is not a big problem for the soldiers of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade. When Daves built this brigade, he hoped that their role in the war would not only be investigation, but also special operations. Therefore, Izam also developed training programs according to this need, and strictly trained the soldiers. . In addition, the first word of their brigade name is
Mountain Ridge
. It is the key training project of the mountain, and of course the climbing in the night. And the careful Printoles also mapped the topographic map around the city of Kesera in the previous investigation. Izam recruited the most powerful investigative soldiers. Together with the map, discuss how to climb the Case. Leila City.
By the time the plan was established, Izam immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare materials and tools.
After noon, the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade came to the new port of Rome with a high-spirited lineup, ready to board the ship.
.............................................
In the early morning, Amintas was woken up by the guards. His first sentence was to ask: "The Romans started attacking again?!"
"The head of the army, there is no news of the soldiers to report the enemy's attack. Now the day is already bright, and the breakfast is ready."
"No offense?!" Amintas was surprised: To know that these days, the Romans began to attack the city from the dawn of the day, fighting until dusk, and their fierce attack made Amintas feel a little heart.
He tried his hand to lick the face of his beard and slag. He had been worried about the war for a few days, and he lacked sleep. He always felt a little sleepy, but the guards made him feel a little relaxed.
While eating breakfast, he still thought: The Romans did not attack at this time as usual. Is it because they can't support this kind of offensive?
Not long after eating breakfast, and taking advantage of the rare free time, Aminus decided to hold a military conference.
The head of the Fourth Army, Oliver, the head of the Fifth Army, Giorgios, and the Chief Executive of Ostia, Jules, came one after another (before he was also the military chief of Ostia, so he also had the right to participate in military meetings) Also attending the meeting were Alistus's deputy Aristolos, and his accompanying staff, Croto Kataks.
The meeting began with a report on the casualties of the various units yesterday. Since the end of the battle yesterday, it was already late, the soldiers were tired, the sky was dark, and it was impossible to accurately make statistics on casualties, so it was postponed to this day.
Aristolo, the deputy of the First Corps, held the data that had just been gathered from the various regiments. He stood up and said: "The First Corps killed 293 people yesterday and injured 537 people. The Fourth Army killed 558 people and injured 722 people. The Fifth Army killed 536 people and injured 891 people. The Ostia reserve team killed 1021 people and injured 537 people. (The three Turai army reserve brigade soldiers were converted into official army soldiers and added to the three legions. )......"
In the hall, whether it is a few military chiefs or Croto Kataks, the expressions are very heavy, because the cold figures represent a living life.
"Yesterday... Our casualties reached 5,000 people, which has exceeded the total number of casualties in the previous two days!" Amintas listened to these, and the painful punch was on the back of the chair.
Klotto Kataks looked at the resentful Amintas and thought about the fierce battlefield he saw in the city in the past few days. He couldn’t help but feel awkward. He even felt that his father’s task was too superfluous because Under the fierce attack of the Romans today, even the defense in the city is a bit of a struggle, and there is still the ability to go out of the city.
He saw that Olivus, who usually speaks humorously, said at the moment: "The reason for the casualties yesterday is that the Romans have built a soil barrier one meter higher than our walls before the trenches. They are in the soil. A large number of light infantry were placed on the base, and the javelin and arrow focused on the guns of our city, which forced our guns to transfer to the city... After that, the Romans pushed their guns to the city. The bombardment has caused several sections of the city wall to collapse, which has further weakened our advantage of relying on the defense of the city wall. Moreover, they have the advantage of a large number of people, and they continue to attack after wave after wave...
Hades is on! This time, I really saw the Romans and our similar small square tactics ~EbookFREE.me~ So when our soldiers were fighting in front of the gap, their formation was hardly affected by the terrain. Moreover, the braveness of the Roman soldiers did not lose to our soldiers, and even the desire to fight was even stronger. I saw with my own eyes that several Roman soldiers were stabbed and still hugged our soldiers’ legs and gave them next to them. The soldiers offered the opportunity...so they were able to step in from several gaps in the wall and eventually repel them, I feel a little lucky..."
"What luck! That is because in the melee, our soldiers are more capable, and the shorts have played a very strong killing effect! Oliver, as a commander of the army, you are a model of the Legionnaires and must always be brave. Confidence, your soldiers will have confidence in victory!
Amintas immediately shouted loudly, and the tone was like a small mercenary who criticized Olivers as a mercenary squad leader 20 years ago.
After Oliver's glimpse, he immediately awakened and immediately apologized: "Sorry, everyone, I was a little out of control! These years the army was used to the wind, this is the first time such a battle is brave and organized. The enemy who is very wary of combat skills, let us lose a lot of brothers! It seems that your Majesty is right, the Romans are indeed an enemy, we should abandon the illusion of easy victory, and go all out to defeat this enemy!"
