Chapter 316 Bruti retreat and Elia invasion
Fortunately, behind the wooden wall, there is a sentry tower that is more than one meter taller than the wall, as well as the support of light infantry led by Zipet under the city and bows and javelins fired by free people, so that the southern section of the wooden wall has basically remained intact until now. Stay safe.

Zipit shot out an arrow, hitting the chest of the enemy who broke into the wooden wall. The seemingly thick leather robe was completely penetrated, and the enemy fell to the ground.

Zipit habitually reached for the arrow, but found that the quiver was empty.

"Hurry and get a new arrow!" Cipit shook his sore right hand and said to the guard next to him.

After a while, the guard hurried back and handed him a quiver filled with ten arrows. At the same time, he said: "Captain, the quartermaster asked you to use them sparingly. He doesn't have many arrows left."

"How could it be used so quickly?!" Zipit said slightly dissatisfied.

"I asked him the same thing, but he said that there are more than 2000 archers in our light infantry plus free people, and each of them has 3 arrows in a barrel. And now almost all the archers have used up a barrel of arrows... He also Said... He also said, "Arrows are bought with money, and the price is not low. This time, because our Second Legion had the need for defensive operations in the prior plan, Lord Melses distributed them to us." [-] arrows, otherwise we would never have been wasted like this!'" The guard conveyed the message a little aggrievedly.

Although Tsipit was a little angry, the quartermaster of the baggage train was now under the control of Merses. Thinking of the stingy fat man, Tsipit felt a headache. He said loudly: "Brothers, there is nothing to worry about when you run out of bows and arrows. , we also have reverse blades and spears, don’t you think so?!”

"right!!!"

The stalemate in the siege battle made Pianlun very anxious. He turned around and looked at the soldiers resting in the rear. He hesitated whether to send all the last 5000 men. However, the narrow battlefield made it too crowded under the wooden wall. No matter how many people there are, it doesn't seem to help.

At this moment, he heard a "rumbling..." sound behind him, followed by cheers.

"The wooden wall has collapsed! The enemy's wall has collapsed!!..." The soldiers around him cheered. Pianlun turned around excitedly and saw: a large gap appeared in the center of the southern section of the wooden wall of the fortress ahead. Bruti The soldiers are rushing in...

"Don't panic! Don't panic!..." Brim loudly comforted the panicked Bithynia warriors.Baguilipi is too old, and the warriors in his tribe are led by Baguilipi's nephew. Therefore, among the three leading leaders of Bixinia, Brim is the oldest, the most senior, and has the highest prestige.Although he didn't really want to fight the Cosenza people, he had to work hard for the survival of his people on the battlefield.

"Hold your position, and the wall will not fall back again!..." Brim shouted loudly. He knew very well that the wooden wall on the other side of the gap was burned by kerosene due to the negligence of the soldiers, and was covered by mulberry wood. The collision will cause the wooden wall to be damaged and the earth pit to collapse.

"Keep the front! Don't worry about these enemies who are rushing in. There are Dionians behind to deal with them!..." The reason why he said this was because he had seen fully armed Dionian soldiers in the gap in the wooden wall. The rear was lined up, and he was surprised by the rapid and neat maneuvers of the Dionian army.

For the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Brigades of the Second Army, the collapse of the wooden wall was a good thing. They could finally make up for the regret of not going up to the city to kill the enemy.

When the Bruti warriors stepped on the collapsed earth barrier, kicked off the broken wooden fence, and rushed into the wall, they suddenly found that they were facing an iron wall surrounded by countless copper shields and countless sharp spears. In the rhythmic sound of war drums, the Dionian soldiers steadily released and retracted their guns. Each stab may take away a life...

The Bruti warriors who rushed in were unable to form an array with their companions, nor were they organized by the team officers. They could not resist the group attack of the Dionian army by relying on their personal bravery. The javelin of the Nian warriors.

In the short period of time after breaking into the wooden wall, the casualties of the Bruti warriors increased sharply. They were timid and wanted to retreat, but the way back was blocked by warriors from behind who were rushing in excitedly.

The third and fourth brigades of the Second Legion advanced steadily, shrinking the encirclement smaller and smaller, causing the Bruti warriors to huddle together and find it difficult to even swing their weapons.

Pianlun was delighted to see many Bruti warriors rushing into the gap at first, but soon the scene there seemed to be stagnant. The warriors were wandering around the gap but could not enter, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.Then, he was surprised to see that the Bruti warriors there suddenly fled in all directions, and groups of brightly armored Dionian soldiers poured out from the gaps in the city wall. They took advantage of the situation to attack other soldiers who were attacking the city with all their strength from the side. The Bruti warriors' retreat soon became no longer just the point of the gap, but evolved into the entire Bruti offensive line...

Seeing this scene, Pianlun's heart went cold, and he wiped out the luck of victory. He saw that the Dionian army that occupied Bisignia was by no means just the Dionian army with only a few thousand soldiers as judged by the leaders. The main force of Nia is not, but most likely some kind of legion claimed by the Deolians!
"Retreat quickly..." He shouted out in pain.

However, just when he finally gathered the defeated troops and returned to the camp in frustration, he got worse news.

"What did you say?! There was a riot in Cosenza City?!"

"Yes, great leader. Sedumu, Sas, Bowa... and more than a dozen tribes suddenly led their tribes to attack the inner city the next morning after you led the army to leave. If not, the leader of Kadurk Lead the team to arrive in time, I am afraid they will attack the inner city! Now they occupy the west of the outer city, the high priest sent me to inform you quickly, I hope you can quickly put down these rebellions and let the city of Cosenza recover Peace!" the messenger said anxiously.

"Understood, you go back and tell the high priest that I will lead the army back immediately and tell him not to panic and to defend the inner city with Kadurk first!" Pianlun quickly made a decision.In order to monitor and rule these disobedient tribes nearby, the "Seven Elders Council" decided after deliberations to force them to move to the outer city of Cosenza. This situation resulted in such a situation.This rebellion sounded the alarm for Pianlon. The invasion of the Dionysians has already affected various tribes in the Bruti region, especially those tribes that were previously dissatisfied with the alliance and were forced to surrender. He must Act quickly to avoid worsening the situation.

He asked Petaru to carry out the order to break up the camp.

Soon, Bogam broke into the big tent and shouted excitedly: "Did I hear wrongly, Pianren, you want to go back to Cosenza?! Let these Dionians continue to build the fortress here, let's do this gone?!"

"Elder Bergam, what else can we do in such a bad situation? Continue to attack the fortress?!" Pianlun was no longer as anxious as when he just heard the news. He calmly asked: "Then Behind the city wall, there are probably six to seven thousand rigorously trained Dionian soldiers, as well as more than 2000 Bithynia traitors who have taken refuge with them. Plus the well-defended fortress, do you think we can capture it with just the likes of us? This fortress?! You know, we suffered nearly 2000 casualties in today’s battle! 2000 people!! That’s equivalent to more than half of the Ambalia warriors you brought!”

After listening, Bogam sat down slumpedly... After a while, he raised his head and murmured in a dry voice: "Is it just like watching the Dionysian army pass through Bithynia and break into our home..."

"Then let them come!" Pi Anlun roared, looking directly at Bogam with piercing eyes, stepped forward and gave him a strong hug, and said decisively in a hard tone: "We want to Go back and recruit all the Bruti warriors! We will fight to the death with the Dionians on the Cosenza Plateau! This battle will determine the rise and fall of the Bruti people, and the plateau goddess Amara will protect us!"

"Plateau..." Bergam's reminder from Anlun revived his fighting spirit: "Yes, we have the blessing of Amara! We also have the Cosenza Plateau!..."

...............................

The high-spirited Xinsinag received support from many tribes in the northern part of Grumentum and marched south smoothly.After reaching the south, he finally encountered an obstacle.

The tribes that had previously migrated from Neutum were the first tribes to surrender to Dionia. Compared with the Picosis far west of Grumentum, they identified more with Dionia and trusted Dionia more. Nia.They drove out the envoys sent by Xinsinag and united to prepare against the Picosis.

Xinsinaga was furious and prepared to lead his army to attack these disobedient tribes.But news came: There was something strange in the city of Grumentum on the north side, and about two thousand Dionian soldiers came out of the city.

This made Xinsinag worry that when attacking the Lucanian tribe in the south, he would be suddenly attacked from the flanks by the Dionians, so he had to withdraw his army.

As soon as Picosis' troops withdrew, the Dionysians immediately retreated into the city.

This has been the case for two days in a row, and Cincinnager made a judgment: the Dionians in the city are just pretending, they have neither the courage nor the intention to attack him.

Therefore, he asked Gnainite to lead two thousand soldiers to keep an eye on the city of Grumentum, and he led his army to prepare to conquer the southern tribes.

At this time, an envoy from the city of Pixasi sent an envoy to tell him the bad news: a thousand Elias invaded the territory of Pixisi. They destroyed farmland and burned settlements. Don't dare to attack rashly and ask Xinsinag for emergency support!
After hearing this, Xinsinag became furious.
