Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 9 Chapter 70: Lien Chan

The Gauls did not have a navy, attacked from the land and could not take advantage of its large number of people. Instead, he rushed from Florentia and ran out of food.

So, the Gauls sent tribes to nearby villages to collect food. Shortly after the autumn harvest, the Etruscan people had plenty of food in their homes, and because the Gauls were coming, most of the Etruscan people fled in vain and had no time to carry food, so they collected food everywhere. The Gaul tribe warriors have gained a lot and quickly alleviated the shortage of military food.

Although there is no need to worry about military food, Gaul ’s leaders have realized that Fuvruna is not Florentia, and it is more difficult to capture it in a short period of time, so there is a "first ignore it and turn Offensive elsewhere.

But when they had just reached an agreement, the coalition forces in northern Dionia appeared.

This time Patroclus did not take a conservative strategy-first build the camp, but began to form an array directly one mile away from the Gaul camp.

According to Patroclus's observations during this time, it is believed that Gao Luren is self-sustaining, brave and brutal, and is very likely to come out to face the battle.

Sure enough, although some Gauls had not returned to the camp because they went out to collect grain and grass, the chiefs still decided to lead the Gaul fighters with less than 30,000 people out of the camp under the clamor of the chiefs.

Patroclus also learned from the whistle that some Gaul warriors were collecting grain and grass in nearby villages and villages. He immediately sent a small number of Allied troops to attack and obstruct the return of these Gauls. All the light infantry under his command were discharged, and while the Gaul army was in line, they launched a long-range attack on them.

More than half of the Gaul warriors are wearing straight pants and singles, and some even shirtless. There is no other defense besides the wooden shield in their hands. There are more than 4,000 light infantry in the Dionysian Allied Forces, of which the 2000 light infantry of the Dionysian Army are well-trained. Under their leadership, the arrows and javelins shot like the Alps The hailstones are as terrible as they have caused the Gaul army to do a lot of damage, and also forced the Gaul soldiers to ignore the formation and fight against the enemy one after another.

The Gauls swarmed forward, and the coalition light infantry hurriedly retreated. After they quickly withdrew from the gap in the chessboard array, the Gauls suddenly found a long and thick "iron wall" in front of them. 'S enemies shouted in unison, the javelin once again shrouded the Gauls like a dark cloud.

In the continuous screams, the Gauls roared, wielding big swords, and fiercely slashed at the enemy hiding behind the long shield.

Then they found that their sharp swords were not enough to cleave the thick shields of the enemies, and they were not enough to cut off the strong spears of the enemies immediately, even if they could sometimes break the shields and cut the enemy ’s body, if the power used was not strong It is not accurate enough to cause fatal damage to enemies wearing neck guards, iron helmets, and double-layered chain armor. The enemies on the opposite side will quickly draw a short stab from the waist dagger, which may make the strong Gauls lose their fighting power.

At this time, the Gauls realized that they were no longer fighting the Romans. They would not wear simple equipment, holding copper spears, and attacked them like a swarm of bees, and then suffered a setback. Will quickly defeat.

They are now facing a terrible strong enemy armed from head to toe. They are well equipped and well trained. Not only is the overall cooperation tacit, each soldier will rely on the overall strength to fight, and his personal combat skills are also excellent. Most of the bayonet and short swords were accurately aimed at the Gauls ’fragile faces, necks, abdomen, and legs, even though the Gaul warriors did not have much protection all over the body.

Not to mention, the number of Gaul fighters is less than the Dionysian Allied Forces, which is not a battle of equals at all. As long as the main Dionyan soldiers (mostly Romans and Latins) can eliminate the terrible shadows that the Gauls have created in their hearts for more than a decade, they can wield big swords and slash and scream It is undoubtedly that the brave face is calm and comfortable, and winning in such a positive battle.

Previously, Patroclus first commanded the army to win in the defensive camp, and then led the army to raid Gaul camp early in the morning, and then built extraordinary achievements. The coalition soldiers gained confidence from them. Now the morale of the Dionysian soldiers is facing Not only will not be afraid of the nightmare, but also eager to obtain military power to obtain the kingdom's reward.

Less than an hour after the fierce battle, the Gauls showed a decline. Patroclus took the opportunity to order some of the standby Allied troops to attack the Gauls' wings.

Fight until noon, the Gauls defeated, and the coalition led by Patroclus won again.

The news spread back to Rome and the surrounding area. The people cheered and even organized a parade to sing and dance around the city. Finally, they climbed to the Capitolin Mountain and presented strong black cattle and sheep to the Temple of Hades and Diana Two great gods devout sacrifices, thank them for blessing the people.

Such a similar scene also occurred in the Latin city states and southern Etruscan city states. The haze caused by the Gauls invading them more than a decade ago was finally blown through the series of brilliant victories created by the Dionysian coalition Scattered.

After reading the report from the front, Yasistes could n’t help but sigh: It ’s awesome! Your Majesty knows!

In the king's mansion of Turriy, Cynthia sat alone in the inner courtyard, his expression slightly depressed.

After a while, I saw a 6-year-old boy lead a 3-year-old boy out of the living room,

"Palpilas, run slower, be careful! Don't fall your brother!"

"Grandma, rest assured, I will take care of my brother!"

"I told you not to run, and you still rushed out with your brother, so I can rest assured!" Kristoa Wen rebuked. At this moment, she is not at all like the leader of the Chamber of Commerce who usually kills decisively. The image of a traditional Greek lady with a grandson and a babble: "Chris, come here grandma!"

"I don't! I want to play with my brother!" The boy shouted stubbornly, holding Palpilas' hand.

Christoya's eyes widened, and she was about to get angry.

"Sister, you can rest assured that Chris and Palpilas will play together. There are no servants staring. Nothing will happen." Agnes then stepped out of the door, too. Toya said with relief.

Christosia didn't sell the account, said with a sullen face: "We are going to the zoo, not to the sports ground or market in the city. Those beasts no matter who we are, just in case we bite and hurt, isn't it It's a joke! By then, his mother will have something to say, 'I told you not to let Chris leave his parents at such a young age, now something is wrong!' ... By then, maybe she has Reason, bring Chris back to Rome! "

Said, she took two more steps forward, bent down, extended her hand and said, "Chris, come to grandma here."

"I don't!" The boy was quite stubborn.

"Pal Pilas, you take your younger brother and follow your grandmother, don't run around casually, did you hear it!" At this time Cynthia stood up and said to her son with dignity.

"Got it, mother." Palpilas responded quickly, took Chris's hand, and returned obediently to Christoya.

Christoia quickly grabbed one and grabbed the hands of the two children, and then relaxed, glanced around and asked, "What about Yunis?"

Molina, the housekeeping officer standing by the side, responded immediately: "Princess Yunis followed Princess Ivia to the zoo early in the morning."

"Grandma, let's go find my sister!" Chris shook Christoya's hand hard and hurriedly urged.

Christoia frowned, bent down, and said seriously: "Chris, grandma told you many times, be sure to remember! Yunis and Avia are your dad's sister, you should call Their aunt, otherwise it will be a joke when heard by others! Remember, call aunt! "

"... Goo ... Goo ..."

"Right, I will see them crying like this in the future, if it is wrong again ..." Kristoa raised her face deliberately: "Grandma will hit your ass."

"Chris likes grandma, grandma likes Chris, grandma won't fight." Chris said, and clasped Kristoa's thigh with her small hand.

"You smart little guy." Christopher smiled on his face: "Okay, grandma doesn't fight, but you can't call it wrong."

Chris nodded vigorously ~ www.readwn.com ~ Christoia gently twisted his little face lovingly and turned his head to say to Agnes: "It seems that Aviaia really likes animals, usually A very introvert child, Yunis always forced her to do this and that, it is rare to be so active this time! "

Agnes said with a smile: "She likes animals very much, but mainly her father told her, 'When she is an adult, let her manage the zoo,' so now she runs to the zoo as soon as she has time. , Saying that you want to learn more about animals ... habits? "

Christoya smiled and said, "I see, Aviaia is like you at this point. Usually you don't care much about other things besides hosting the Temple of Hera. But since the construction of the zoo, you have already Repeatedly called illness, instead of going to the Temple of Hera, he ran to the zoo. "

Ignatius smirked: "In addition to the celebration, the temple is usually managed by priests, and the priest does not have to go every day, just like Plessinas."

"Oh, that's how I told you before, but how do you answer, 'I am Hera's priest, I should serve beside her every day ...'" Christosia mimicked Agnes's tone , Pretending to speak.
