Vol 8 Chapter 211: Siege Ventum

After listening to Pollett, he turned to ask Alexis: "It seems that the Benedictines are ready, do we need to start camping here?"

It’s too far from the city of Benedictum, not enough to oppress them.
Alexis stared at the terrain in front.
Then, he pointed his finger at the long column on the west side and looked like a hill about a height of about 100 meters. He asked: "How far is the mountain road connecting Kautim and Benevenventu?"
"It's hard to say that there are several mountains in between." Gailny thought for a moment and shook his head, unable to tell the specific figures.
Alexis pointed to the lower low hills on the east side and asked: "Through them, the terrain on the east should be flatter?"
"Yes, General Alexis, you remember very clearly, from this hill to the east to the Voltuno River, although there are some small hills, but the terrain is relatively flat," Gailney replied.
Alexis asked the adjutant to take a simple map of Samona, based on the information provided by Gellney, while consulting Galney and comparing the real landscape with the map.
After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said: "We will start building the camp after marching three miles. The leader of Galney, you will lead your soldiers to camp in this valley to protect our food. aisle."
Gailney listened and gave a sigh of relief. He immediately stated: "You can rest assured that we will hold it firmly, even if it is an enemy, don't want to slip away from here!"
For the Abeniyarum warriors, the Sabato River is not only a grain transport channel, but also the only access to Beneventum to their homes, and now the Abeniyarum territory is empty, Geerni The troops mentioned will of course take 200% of their energy to keep it here.
This is exactly what Alexis is all about, and then he pointed to the map and said: "The great leader of the Pole, your military stationed from the south bank of the Voltuno to this side, and we Diony The military camp of Asia is in the middle of your military camp."
Alexis’ arrangement is based on the fact that Abenil and Potentia had had hatreds more than a decade ago, and they were the first to fight together. There was still a lack of cooperation between them. It was specifically reminded to him that there are fewer soldiers in Abenimum, and that the Potentia fighters lack combat experience. The Camp of Dionia is in the middle and can be considered. At the same time, after the camp is built, it occupies two rivers, not only drinking water. Conveniently, it will also cause great oppression to the city of Benedictum.
"I have no opinion, but I hope that the general can send people to guide us to build the camp." Poulter participated in the military training of Dionia. He is very clear that the Dionyrian army has deep research on the construction of the camp, in order to guarantee the soldiers. The safety of the camp, he cheeked directly to ask.
Before Alexis responded, Gailney, who was reminded, immediately said: "We also hope that the general can send people to help build the camp."
Although Gellney did not participate in the military training of Dioria, he has visited the military camps of Turui many times and has seen the training of the Diaonian citizens. Moreover, he considered that the number of soldiers in Abenimum was the least. It was necessary to build a camp and to guard against the raids of the enemy. In fact, it needed the help of allies.
"Of course, there is no problem, I will definitely help!" Alexis is very pleased that the two have such a request, because it is convenient for him to unify the planning of the entire camp and rationally deploy manpower.
After the three men reached an agreement, Gellney led the army straight north, and Alexis and Pollet led their troops, crossing the eastern hills and heading northeast.
Yesterday evening, after the news that the "Dauonia army had entered the territory of Abenimum" was received by the Samonna coalition camp, due to concerns about the safety of Benevenvent, Leskuk could not wait for the withdrawal of other tribal troops. On that night, he led more than 3,000 Hilpini fighters to withdraw to Abella in disregard of fatigue, and set off early in the morning of the next day, marching quickly and entering the city of Benevenvent at noon.
The original 1000 soldiers in the city of Beneventum were stationed, originally to protect the Abeniyarum people in the south. After the return of Leskok, the total number of soldiers in the city reached more than 4,000. I heard that other tribes The soldiers will then come, and the people of the people will suddenly increase their confidence.
And Lesguk was not satisfied with just waiting for defense. After the spies sent out to understand the movements of the enemy, he immediately led the 1,000 soldiers who were stationed in the city. (Other fighters need to rest well because of the continuous march. In order to regain strength, I sneaked into the mountains on the east and raided the Abeniyarums three miles south of the city of Benevenvent.
As the commander of the Dionysian coalition, Alexis led the army in a strange mountainous area. Of course, he would not lose his vigilance. Instead, he would be more cautious. He repeatedly asked: regardless of Abeniyarum or Botti The Asian army must take half of its troops to defend the camp being built.
Therefore, the sniper's raid was unsuccessful, but soon evolved into a battle between the Belenventum and the Abenimum fighters. The two sides first throw javelins at each other and then kill them with spears, even though the escull The number of fighters led is small, but it is full of strength and has some advantages.
But as 1,000 Dionysian light infantry came from the east to reinforce, Leskuk could only retreat.
However, he did not stop here, sending 2,000 soldiers who were being repaired in the city to attack the Potentia from the east, attracting the attention of the Dionysian army, and once again personally rateing 2,000 soldiers to go directly to the Sabato Valley and attack. Abeniyarum.
However, the number of Denia’s coalition forces used for defense is more than twice that of the existing fighters in Beneventum. After Alexis found that the side of Abenimum seems to be the target of the enemy’s main attack, Simply let a light infantry brigade be stationed in front of the Abenimum camp.
Benevenvent’s attack failed to create a lot of trouble for the Abenimum army, but it increased some casualties. For Benevenvent, who lacks strength, every soldier’s life is very valuable. Leskuk can only lead the team back.
Who knows that when he returns to the city, he gets an urgent report: thousands of enemies are approaching Benevenventu from the east.
This made Leskog feel nervous. He immediately gathered the soldiers in the city and led them to the city to defend.
Alexis led a heavy infantry brigade and 3,000 Potentia fighters approaching the city of Benevenvent.
Looking at the stone wall more than seven meters high from a hundred meters away, Alexis recalled some information about the city provided by Gellney: "A decade ago, Beneventoum was just a wooden city. And the simple wooden fences on the periphery are still damaged. It is only used to prevent beasts, not to prevent enemies. Because there are few civil wars among the tribes of Samona, and the foreign enemies never threaten the mountains. So they never worried about the safety of their homes.
But after the rise of the mighty Kingdom of Dionia in the South, the situation changed, the Samonna tribal coalition was defeated, and it was shameful to surrender to it. Even the Dionyns intervened in the internal affairs of the Samonets. , which caused the opposition between Benevenvent and Abe Niroom, so the deeply disturbed chief prince Lekouch repeatedly called for the reconstruction of a strong city of Beneventoum to resist possible Foreign invasion. The leaders of the tribes of Benevenvent, who were equally uneasy, finally agreed with his proposal.
The Sempini people did not have the experience of building a stone city. Therefore, Les Gukto borrowed a lot of Campania slaves from Kautim, not only completed the planning of the new city, but also was close to the address of the new city. A good building stone was found on the north bank of the Voltuno River. After a long period of six years, the new town of Beneventum was finally built with the joint efforts of the tribes of Benevenentum. In the name of celebrating the new city, Leskog soon invited the savannah of the Samonet clan alliance to hold a ceremonial ceremony in Beneventom, which triggered a series of events..."
Of course, in Gellny’s narrative, there is nothing to say about the other tribes of Lesguk and Benevenventum, and accused that the proposed construction of the new town of Löskok has long been premeditated against Diavian. . At the same time, he also mentioned a detail: "The concept of the Acropolis is in the urban drawings designed by Campania. This makes the Benedictus very interested~EbookFREE.me~ they will simply The end of the hills parallel to the eastern side of the Barto River is enclosed in the city, which covers half of the area of ​​the city of Benedictum and has an inner city on the top of the mountain."
Since then, the city of Benevento has a barrier to the Voltuno River in the north, the Sabato River flows through the city in the west, the hills act as a barrier in the south, and only the east is relatively flat... This is why Alexei The reason why the team is attacking from here.
Alexis’s gaze crossed the seven-meter-high stone wall, looking at the hill that had risen from the south to the north and cut off his view. It was at least 30 meters high and there were no lush trees. The densely populated houses and another stone wall on the top of the mountain... This is one of the reasons why he did not rush to give orders to let the 20,000 coalition soldiers who arrived through the difficult trek to attack the city immediately.
"Commander adults, the guns have been laid out."
"Launch." Alexis issued the order. After a moment, ten whistling bullets were bombarded on the wall, and the huge sound made the Sempini soldiers exclaim.
The deterrence of the army led by Alexis to the city of Beneventom led Leszuk to lead the main confrontation in the city, and reduced the harassment of the troops of the Dionyrian coalition in the construction of the camp.
