Chapter 333 Conquer Bruti

"After the failure of the last battle, many of my tribe must have fled into the city of Cosenza, and maybe they are standing on top of the city now..." Cedorum considered his tone and said cautiously: "It stands to reason ...I should go to the city now and ask them to surrender out of the city, and even persuade Pian Lun and the others to give up resistance, but...a wolf king without a pack of wolves will not only make people afraid, but will become a target for hunters. The Senza people will say that I... personally surrendered to Dionia because I was afraid of death. My people will probably strengthen their determination to resist in order to wash away their shame, so -" Sedorum paused, Looking at Davos sincerely: "I hope to return to Vig City first, convince the leaders and people in Vig City, and then lead them to participate in the siege of Cosenza. I believe it will help Dionia capture Cosenza." It will help even more!" After saying that, he waited for Davos's answer with some anxiety.

Davos stared at him for a moment and smiled: "How long does it take to get to Vig from here?"

"It takes most of a day to walk and less than three hours to ride a horse."

"Then you can set off on horseback immediately. I hope to meet the leaders of Vig City in the camp tomorrow!" Davos said decisively and firmly.

Sedorum's heart was shocked, and he quickly bowed and said: "As you wish, my lord."

"Martius."

"exist!"

"Take some escorts to send the leader of Sedorum safely outside Vig City. I believe that Avinogis will not stop the leader of Sedorum from entering the city after seeing you. At the same time, tell the governor of Laos Officer, let him lead his army here tomorrow together with the Vig army.”

"I understand." Martius hesitated: "Sir, but here -"

"Don't worry, there will be other guards and Bithynia warriors led by Rodom, I won't have any problems."

"Yes."

After Sedorum left, Tormid who was standing by asked hurriedly: "Commander, aren't you worried that he is lying?"

Davos looked at Sedorum's leaving figure with a slightly complicated expression: "Sedorum is a smart man. There was one thing he didn't mention on purpose just now."

After being awakened by Davos, Tormid suddenly realized: "Those Vege prisoners in the camp!"

"This is the hostage he left behind. If a big leader abandons his people and escapes alone, if the Veg people find out... Cedorum has good intentions." Davos smiled softly, his eyes Shining light: "Actually, I don't care if he is lying at all, because he alone can't change the outcome of this war. Instead, he will give me a reason to completely eliminate the Veg people!"

That night, everything was peaceful inside and outside the city.

By the next day, Pian Lun, who had not slept all night, hurried to the city to wait for the Dionysian attack.

The attack did not come, and the Dionians were still building camps.

But what Pianren didn't know was that Davos had already sent the First Legion to attack Ambaria, accompanied by more than a dozen officers from the Fourth Legion, the ballista unit, and Hegesitus.

At noon, the soldiers guarding the city of Cosenza were horrified to see an army of about 1000 people coming from the north, holding high the military flag of Weige City, and circled most of the north, west, and east cities of Cosenza. Finally enter the Dionia military camp.This was followed by the Laos army of 2000 men.

This gave the Bruti warriors a great shock: Vege City surrendered!

Especially the Veg warriors in the city. When they saw Veg's leader Sedorum and their leader walking at the forefront of the team, they clamored to go out of the city to meet them, and even followed Cosenza who came to stop them. The soldiers clashed and the two sides faced off in the city.

Pianlun was in a dilemma: there were about 800 Vig warriors, and the total number of Cosenza warriors in the city was only 5000 at most. Outside the city, there was an army of Dionysia eyeing him. It was impossible for him to mobilize all of them to deal with the Vig people; Other leaders headed by Tagli also refused to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Vig people on the grounds that "the Bruti people cannot kill each other".

At this time, a new situation occurred outside the city.The tribes that had rioted in Cosenza gathered outside the city and shouted to Tagli and others to persuade them to surrender.

While Tagli and other leaders were hesitant, the leader of Ambaria, Bogam, led a dozen cavalrymen and hurried to the city.

Even Ambaria surrendered, a fact that dealt a blow to the Bruti warriors in the city.In fact, it is reasonable for Ambalia, a small city with few people, to surrender. When 7000 people from the First Legion appeared aggressively outside the city of Ambania, a few stone bullets fired by ballistas broke the wooden fence, Hegecitus persuaded him to surrender... The series of actions made the leader Bergam, who had less than a thousand soldiers, quickly make the right choice.

The surrender of Ambaria made all the Brutians in Cosenza even more panic: In this way, Cosenza completely became an "isolated island" and was completely surrounded!
Tagli and other leaders finally made up their minds and surrendered to Kaicheng.

The Dionian soldiers cheered and poured into Cosenza. Pianren, Petalu, and Kadurk had to retreat to the inner city with their tribal warriors, and the city was in chaos.

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

Petalu stumbled into the meeting hall.

"Big Chief!" He shouted anxiously: "Big Chief, damn Kadurk!... Kadurk opened the city gate and surrendered to the Dionians! Do we... do we... "

Pian Lun, who was sitting on the wooden chair, did not have the slightest trace of panic. He looked at his son-in-law calmly and said with difficulty: "Surrender to the Dionians..."

Petalu finally waited for the answer he wanted. He said "yes" without hesitation and walked out anxiously.

"Petalu." Pianlun stopped him and said earnestly: "As a Bruti leader, you are still a little impatient. You should think more before doing things in the future, and..." Pianlun said Lun's voice became a little deeper, and he took a breath: "Take care of Oona!"

When Petalu heard this, he felt a little uneasy: "Father..."

Pianlun waved his hand: "Go quickly, too many of our people have died..."

Watching Petalu's figure disappear outside the hall with some reluctance, Pianren turned around tiredly. On the wall behind him hung the flag of the Bruti Tribal Alliance - a tower stood on the green grassland. The snow-capped peaks represent the land that supports thousands of Bruti people and the god Amala who protects them.

Pianlun stepped forward and touched the flag that he had devoted countless efforts to. He was thinking a lot and saw that a unified Bruti tribe alliance would rise on this land, but...

"Dionia... Dionia..." He repeated the name resentfully, filled with regret.Of course he would not know: in the history of the previous life, Bruti became a powerful kingdom a few decades later. Not only did the Greek city-states of Magna Graecia tremble under its military front, but the Lucanians were also afraid of it. Three points later, the Magna Greek city-states such as Crotone and Thurii, which had been weakened by Syracuse's repeated invasions, had no choice but to invite Alexander, the king of Epirus, to lead an army of tens of thousands to cross the sea to southern Italy in an attempt to defeat them all in one fell swoop. The Brutians were destroyed, and as a result, near the Plat River, where the Dionysian and Bruttian coalition battled, the Brutians almost completely annihilated the Greek coalition led by Alexander.From then on, the Greek city-states in southern Italy could only live an elusive existence hiding behind tall city walls, and never left any records in history until the arrival of the Romans...

At this time, Pianlun took off the Bruti Alliance flag, slowly wrapped it around his body, and then pulled out the dagger from his waist...

The day before Pianlon committed suicide and Davos occupied the entire territory of Bruti, the third legion led by Hieronymus arrived at the city of Pycosis. The city surrendered.

After receiving this news, Puamote, the leader of Potentia, finally made up his mind and sent an envoy to Thurii, requesting to join the Dionysian Alliance.

A month later, Metapontum and Garacuso joined the Dionysian Alliance.

At this time, the Dionysian City-State Alliance occupied more than half of the land in southern Italy and Lucania, and truly became the overlord of Southern Italy.

Note: According to historical data, it is inferred (rather than confirmed) that the Brutians had been vassals of the Lucanians for decades. Finally, they united, established a unified kingdom, and became independent.At this time, the strength of the Greek city-states in southern Italy was greatly weakened by the repeated invasions of Dionysius of Syracuse, which provided convenience for the growth of the Brutian power in southern Italy. Readers, if Looking at the maps of this period, you can see that the Brutian territory occupied almost the entire Calabria region, except for these Greek city-states along the coast.

In this book, the existence of Dionia interrupts the rise of the Brutians. Of course, it also interrupted the rise of the Lucanians before. I believe that it will happen again in the following chapters. Performance.

The next volume involves more Mediterranean forces, the situation is more complex, more historical figures appear, there are more grand war scenes, and there are more treacherous conspiracies and diplomacy... In order to better sort out my thoughts , I need to take a day off, and I will join you in Volume [-]: The Club of Two Heroes the day after tomorrow, so stay tuned!
