Chapter 279 The response of the Maple Alliance
Diomeras felt a little uneasy.
"I...I abstain..." Tudeples said reluctantly.
"What did you say!!" Diomelas knocked down the chair out of control.
"I abstain!" Tudeples affirmed again, like a bolt from the blue falling on Umarcas's head, and his eyes only felt black.
...........................
In the end, Davos became the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and he invited Uumakas to be his adjutant, which not only facilitated the coordination of command, but also gave the Tarentum people a step down.
As soon as the meeting ended, Triphias followed Davos, and the two left the room talking and laughing and walked straight away.
Tudeples hesitantly walked behind, but Diomiras caught up with him and asked, "Tudeples, what do you mean?! Are you also planning to betray our alliance?!"
Looking at Diomiras's flushed face, the governor of Metapontum sighed and said guiltily: "North of Metapontum, upstream of the Bradano River, there is a Lucca Garaguso, a city where the Leah tribe gathers. As you know, we had conflicts with these Lucalians in the past, but they were just minor problems. But in the past two years, the conflicts have intensified. According to the news we have received, The main reason is that the number of Lucalians in Galaguso is increasing, and the barren mountains there cannot support more people. It is said that some tribes are quarreling about moving south to obtain more land. If they really Going south will be a big trouble for us in Metapontum!”
"If the Lucanians dare to invade Metapontum's land, Tarantum will definitely help you defeat these indigenous people!" Diomilas blurted out.
"Given Tarantum's current situation, is it ready for a long-term war with the Lucanians?" Tudepreis asked rhetorically.
Diomeras was speechless.Now, Tarantum has two major enemies, Mesapi and Pucheti, and it is already too much to bear. Any citizen of Tarantum, not to mention the Senate, will think twice about provoking the Lucarians again.
"I heard that when Dionia held the completion celebration of the temple of Hades, the Lucarians of Galaguso went to Tulii to express their wishes for peace to Dionia. So, Daionia Onia occupies most of the land of the Lucanians and has become the most important force there. No Lucarian tribe dares to ignore it. I think if Dionia protests to Garaguso, Garaguso will The Lucanians of Raguso should think carefully... The people of Metapontum hope to avoid war. Metapontum cannot help you defend the Messapians while also To face the Lucanian invasion." Tudeples euphemistically expressed Metapontum's sacrifice for Tarentum.Then he said to Diomelas with a slight apology: "He is just a commander-in-chief. Lord Davos is good at fighting, and you Tarantum are in urgent need of a victory, isn't it just right! Metapontum Always Tarantum’s best ally!”
Tudeples knew that he could not be as careless as Triphias. After all, Heraclea was only established more than 30 years ago, and the relationship with Tarantum was not that strong and complicated, and it was far away from Dio. Nia territory is so close.Metapontum is different. It has a friendship with Tarantum for more than 200 years. Most citizens of the two countries have close or distant relatives, which cannot be broken off easily.
Watching Tudeples leave, Diomelas' resentment still couldn't dissipate.
Umarchus came up and comforted him and said: "Now that Davos has become the supreme commander of the coalition forces, he has to let his army fight with all its strength when fighting the Messapians, otherwise it will damage his reputation. That might seem like a good thing.”
Diomeras snorted, but did not lose his temper again. He was a little confused: the reason why he became the consul was because the rapid rise of Dionia stimulated the people of Tarantum, and his radical ideas Only then will it be recognized by the people and passed at the citizens' assembly.Tarantum was the first large-scale attack in the history of the Messapei people, regardless of the lives of its citizens. Unexpectedly, Tarantum's strength frightened the surrounding neighbors, and actually caused two people to attack. The union of two races that had always been in conflict and had never been united before led to Tarantum's current predicament.
"The most important issue now is that we must convene a meeting of the Senate immediately! Tell the senators that Heraclea and Metapontum's attitude towards Tarantum has changed!" Eumacus looked serious.
Diomeras was shocked, and then felt sad: In just a few months, Tarantum's status as a powerful nation faced a huge threat!How could it become such a situation?Is it true, as that damn young man said, that war is related to the rise and fall of a city-state?But why has Dionia, which was founded less than two years ago, never stopped fighting and become stronger and stronger?
...........................
At the same time, in the large tent of the Mepu coalition barracks outside the city of Manduria, the consuls of the city-states of Mesapi and King Tremoni of Puchetti were discussing the newly received news.
"Are you sure that Tarantum has received reinforcements from more than 1 foreign soldiers?" Tremoni asked solemnly.
"This news was spread by our people who sneaked into the port of Tarantum. For this reason, Lord Timogoras also specially sent cavalry to explore near the port of Tarantum. A huge military camp was indeed built there. . To be precise, it should be the reinforcements sent by Tarantum's ally Dionia." Udiay Consul Paximerus said.
"Dionia, that is a city-state alliance established west of the Gulf of Taranto. I heard that their governor is a young man and has never lost a battle." Carminu, the governor of Ugentum Si said.Ugentum is located directly south of Tarantum and on the east coast of Taranto Bay, so it knows more about Dionia on the west coast than other Messapian city-states.
"Never lost a battle?! How many battles has this Dionian consul participated in?! The head of Archita, the military genius of Tarantum who was previously boasted by the Greeks, is still hanging on the gate of Brindisi Here it is!" Tremoni said disdainfully. He looked at Pasimaurus, the leader of the Mesapian city-states, and then said cautiously: "But the more than 1 reinforcements from Dainia , is a big problem. We stormed Manduria for two days without making any progress, but lost a lot of warriors. This damn city! You built it too firmly back then! Now, Tarantum has reinforcements, Manduria will inevitably be reinforced. Their strength will not be less than ours, and we are very tired from fighting for days. I suggest that we retreat temporarily. Anyway, those Greek foreigners cannot stay in Tarentum for long. Wait until they leave. , it’s not too late for us to capture Manduria again.”
"The king is right! Our soldiers have been fighting continuously, suffering heavy casualties and running out of food. Manduria cannot be captured in a day or two. The enemy's reinforcements are coming soon. If at this time We have no advantage in fighting the enemy head-on, so retreating is the best way." The generals behind Tremoni expressed their support.
The Messapian governors exchanged glances.Indeed, unlike Brindisi, Manduria was originally established as a forward base for the Messapians to defend and attack Tarentum, so although the city is small, the walls are high and strong.But the Messapian governors believed that Pucetti did not want to fight anymore because they had already enjoyed the sweetness of the covenant. That is, after recapturing Brindisi, Messapi and Pucetti would jointly manage this most beautiful place on the toe of the Apennine Peninsula. One of the important port cities, from now on the Puchetti people can also enjoy the benefits of sea trade, but under the pretext of difficulty in siege, they don't want to pay anymore, they want to default on the debt!
Paximerus did not accuse Tremoni of wanting to break the contract, but said calmly: "King of the Pucheti people, with your shrewdness, you should be able to see that if we retreat at this time, then what we did before All the victories gained will be lost again! The people of Tarantum will never stop attacking because they saved Manduria. Brindisi will be their next goal, and there are not many in Brindisi Can the defenders and the dilapidated city walls withstand Tarantum's army? Once we retreat, it is impossible to gather such a huge combined army in a short time! At that time, we can only watch Watching our people in Brindisi being slaughtered by the Greeks or becoming their slaves!"
Tremoni was stunned: Just now, he had the mentality of only taking advantage and not suffering any losses, but he didn't even consider this. More than 2000 Puchetti people had just moved to Brindisi!
Seeing that he was silent, Paximerus continued: "In addition, we have made such great efforts and sacrificed so many soldiers' lives to inflict unprecedented heavy damage on Tarantum. According to the information we received, , now the prime-age citizens of Tarantum are either killed in the battle or disabled, and most of the people who can fight are young and elderly citizens. If we can still inflict heavy losses on Tarantum in the next battle, Tarantum will have We will be unable to resist our attack for a long time. Although it will be very difficult for us to capture the city of Tarantum, the land outside the city, especially the land to the west, will belong to us Messape and Pucheti!"
Tremoni was moved.He rubbed his hands together, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "If we really want to continue fighting, we won't be able to fight head-on with Tarantum's reinforcements. The Greek heavy infantry in formation are like stones. It’s too hard to chew!”
"You are a battle-hardened commander. We will listen to your opinion on how to fight next." Paximaurus lowered his posture and said humbly, which made Tremoni very satisfied.
His tone also softened: "My suggestion is to lure the Tarantum people..."
