Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Lord Commander, you can rest assured and hand over all the battles to us! The brothers of our 3rd Corps have long been eager to participate in the battle and have made great contributions! Bagul patted his chest and said loudly. ￣︶︺s んц Ge 浼 镄 对 氛 覣 棢 つwww%W. %kaNshUge.lā

Don't worry, don't worry, there are battles for you to participate in! Davos said jokingly: You should report to your legion commander first. He, the legion commander who is short of a major general, thinks you are all in your dreams. calling your names!

Everyone laughed, and Hieronymus, who was usually expressionless, also grinned at this time.

Lord Avinogis, thank you for your full support to Dionia! Lead the army to fight in person! Davos stepped forward and saluted Avinogis to express his sincere thanks.

It is my responsibility to send troops to join the war as an alliance of Dionia! Avinogis hurriedly replied: In Turii, I heard that Lord Davos once again defeated the Crotone army. Brilliant record, this is another miracle of winning more with less! Lord Davos's military skills amaze me, and I believe that the warriors of Laos can follow Dionia to achieve more victories!

As long as our Dionian League is always united, there will be no lack of victory! Davos answered passionately.

You're right, Lord Davos! Avinogis immediately nodded seriously.

At this time, Asisters interjected: Lord Commander, I almost forgot one thing, when we led our army through the swamp area, the engineering battalion was about to repair the road through the swamp area, and they will be able to do it tomorrow. The baggage has been transported here.

Great! Davers said happily.

………………

Those who followed Davos into the tent were: First Army Commander Kapus, Second Army Commander Drax, Third Army Commander Hieronymus, Third Army First Army Captain Bagule, Third Army Commander Tu Lieutenant Asisters, Lars Archon Avinogis.

In the center of the tent was an exceptionally smooth wooden table on which a large map of southern Greece was drawn.

Caps, please introduce the latest battle situation to the new comrades in arms. Davos said.

Okay, my lord. Capps came to the wooden table, found the Crimea sign on the map, pointed to it and said, After the Crotone army lost in the battle, according to the information obtained by interrogating the captured soldiers , it is estimated that about 7,000 people fled the battlefield, and they are likely to have fled back here- Capps glanced at the people who were listening to him carefully, and then said: Then our first and second legions, a total of 14,000 people, rushed to out of Crimea,

Build camps and surround Crimea from east, west and north. Today, when we built the bridge over the Umbria River, the troops on the south bank were attacked by nearly 7,000 light infantry, indicating that Crimea was reinforced by Crotone in this day's time, and the strength of the city may reach 14,000 people. And your arrival has brought our total number of soldiers to 22,000.

Avinogis and the others gathered around the wooden table, listening to Capps and staring at the map.

It may be difficult for 22,000 people to capture a city defended by 14,000 soldiers! Avinogis said based on his past experience.

We don't necessarily have to take Crimea. Capps' words surprised the newcomer.

How can we attack Crotone without taking Crimesa? Bagule asked in surprise.

Encircle it. Capps pressed the Crimea on the map with his right hand, and then drew a circle: If we storm the Crimea, there will be 14,000 Crotone soldiers in the defense, not only will the casualties be heavy, but also Once Crimesa can't be held, the Crotones may flee back to Crotone by boat and hide in the city, making it more difficult for our next attack. Leave them and let the city of Crimea be scattered. Crotone's strength, and we can divide— Kapus slid his fingers to the south of Crimea, where the plains north of Croton lay.

Avinogis, Bagule, Asistes, and Lizaru stared at the map with wide eyes, lost in thought.

What if the Crotone people find that our number is reduced and go out of the city to attack the camp? Avinogis asked worriedly.

The others laughed at the same time.

We are welcoming them to attack, and have a good taste of the defensive facilities of our Dionia camp! Drax said confidently.

If we don't attack Crimea, it may make Crotone people aware of our intentions. What if they take the initiative to withdraw Crotone's defense? Asistes also asked his own question.

Who says we don't attack, we will attack appropriately to put pressure on Crimea, and by the time they realize that something is not right, the troops we sent out have already messed up Crotone's territory, and when they withdrawn In Crotone, we can easily take down Crimesa! In short, according to the words of the commander...that is...we have to actively mobilize the Crotones to run back and forth, and we can't concentrate our troops to fight against us... ... Capps explained.

It's great! I think this must be a plan conceived by Lord Davos. This is the first time I have seen such an ingenious military plan! We don't need to fight hard, we can easily achieve our goal! Vinogis said half-compliment and half-hearted praise.

His words were agreed by everyone.

Davos smiled and said seriously: Right now I'm most worried about one thing—

Our food supply?! The taciturn Hieronymus interjected. As the commander of the bare-handed army for the past two days, he has been staying with the army's baggage battalion, so he has some understanding of this.

That's right. Davos gave him an admiring look and said with a serious expression: The rations carried by the soldiers are about to be eaten up, and then they have to rely on the rear to bring food. To meet the needs of 22,000 people, the required The food is definitely a huge amount! Turii is nearly a hundred miles away from Crimea. We can't protect such a long transportation line! If Crotone realizes this, their warships can Landing on any coast, raiding our ration packs, even destroying villages, killing our people, will cause us a lot of trouble! So we need to finish our plan as soon as possible and leave Crotone struggling.

Heronemus!

exist!

You immediately lead the Third Army to build a camp on the south bank and besiege Crimesa!

Yes!

Drax!

Subordinates are here!

Take three battalions from the Second Corps to assist Lord Avinogis' troops to build a camp on the south bank. I ask you to initially build a camp before tonight to completely besiege the city of Crimesa!

clear!!!

……………………

In the afternoon, more than 10,000 Dionian soldiers crossed the wooden bridge and began to take turns to build a camp on the south bank of the Umbrian River.

Miron did not rashly send troops to attack.

By evening, the South Bank camp was initially completed. So far, the Dionysian Camp is a huge semi-circle surrounding the city of Crimea, except that the port faces the sea and cannot be enclosed, and the rest is surrounded by the Dionysian Camp.

By the early morning of the next day, the Dionian soldiers continued to perfect their camp facilities, and Lycias, the messenger of Crotone, arrived at Dionysian's northern camp, and was taken into Davos, masked. 's military account.

Lord Lycias, I'm very sorry! You and I are both sides of the war, and we have to take this approach. Davos apologized, but there was no apology on his face, but he was excited like a hound seeing fresh meat. I remember that we just met four days ago. I didn't expect to meet again so soon. You won't bring any harsh conditions to threaten us with Dionia, right?

Of course, Lycias could hear the strong sarcasm in Davos' mouth, but as if he hadn't heard it, he said directly, Lord Davos, I am here for peace talks, and Crotone is willing to talk to Dionys. Asia signed an armistice agreement and compensated Dionysus for the losses in the war. I only hope that the war between Crotone and Dionysus can be quelled, so as to restore the peace and tranquility of Great Greece!

Davos laughed: You Crotones start the war if you want to, and stop the war if you want to truce. Do you think this is a war game for children?

Lycias asked calmly, Then what are the conditions for Dionia to accept the truce?

Conditions? Davos snorted coldly, dissipated the urge on his face, paced back and forth a few steps, and when he looked at Lycias again, his bright eyes had returned to his previous shrewdness: Remember When you left, did I say what I said? My conditions are the same as those you mentioned earlier in the Grand Chamber of the Turii Senate, very simple!

Hearing this, Lycias's heart groaned.

First, Crotone must compensate Dionia 5,000 silver talents at one time; second, the Crotone League shall be dissolved, and Crotone shall no longer be allowed to form an alliance with any other city-state; Rimisa joins the Dionian League!  …”

After listening to each one, Lycias's face became ugly, and finally he shook his head very simply: The conditions you put forward are too harsh, and the Council of Crotone will not accept it!

It's better if you don't accept it! The Dionian soldiers also want to win more victories to get more rewards from the Alliance! Davos looked indifferent, but his words contained more threats.

I admit that Dionia's previous victory made us panic, but the panic also prompted us Crotones to act and work together to fight the enemy who might invade Crotone territory! In the future, you Dio The battle for the Nias will only get harder! Lord Davos, I want to remind you that grapes must be sold for good prices when they are fresh, otherwise they will be worthless when they are ripe. Lycias's words also became tougher.
