Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece
Vol 8 Chapter 56: Siege and rescue
The huge forces of the Romans forced the Wolsey soldiers and the Dionysian reinforcements of the two cities to dare to leave the city, but only sent a small number of light infantry to harass, which obviously had little effect on the Roman army.
Camilles is responsible for half of the troops, and the other half of the soldiers, together with the slaves and the heavy civilians, participate in the construction of the camp. The two rotate regularly. It takes only three days and they will lie in Setia and Pole. The Roman camp between Vernum was initially built.
Quintus and Lisignius could not wait to attack the city of Setia.
The highly respected Camilos initially expressed his opposition. He reminded the two military officers: These days, the Wolsey people have been building traps and trenches outside the city of Setia. The defense of the whole city may be stronger than before. And there are tens of thousands of Wolsey reinforcements in the city of Pleefnum, not far from Setia, and thousands of powerful Devianians who are likely to go out of town to help the Romans. It is difficult to increase operations.
Therefore, he suggested: to attack Setia and not to attack, to pin the Polifnam, and then to divide more than 20,000 soldiers, bypass the two towns, go straight to the southwest, all the way to destroy the Wolsey The field, arrived in the heart of the city of Selce in Worthy. If the Wolsey reinforcements and the Dionyns come to the rescue, they will take the opportunity to fight with them in the wild; if the enemy does not rescue, then attack Selshe and eventually take it, thus changing this stalemate.
Quintus expressed his refusal. In his view: the enemy is in front of you, with the mighty strength of the army, you can completely defeat Seythia and fight with the enemy troops from Polafornam. There is no need to march for twenty or thirty miles. At the risk of being attacked by the enemy, it is dangerous and too troublesome to attack the city of Serre, which is called "the terrain is dangerous" by the Wolsey people.
Of course, Li Si Nius also supports the first take of Setia.
As the most junior of the military and political officials, Freud kept silent, but in the heart he actually supported Quintus' proposal. This is due to the Roman military tradition of using heavy infantry as the main military force of the city-state. The vast majority of Roman citizens are accustomed to frontal rushing, and there is not much conception of the round-trip attack, even if Freuz worked with Camelus. Long.
Camilles did not insist on his opinion, but asked to stay in the camp and build a new camp.
Thus, the Romans’ attack on the city of Setia began.
Soon they tasted the defensive facilities added under the help and guidance of the First Army Corps of Dionia.
First of all, the wide trap belt in front of the trench made the Roman soldiers suffer a lot. Many soldiers were stabbed by the "hanging hook" and "lily".
Just as they had to patiently clear the trap, the defenders sent hundreds of light infantry who were familiar with the distribution of traps outside the city. They dispersed on the safe passage in the trap zone, and javelin and arrows were thrown at the Romans who had buried the obstacles on the ground. The attack of Yayao not only caused the casualties of some Roman soldiers, but also delayed the progress of their siege.
Therefore, although the artillery guns 300 meters away from the city have been firing stone bombs for several days, and even damaged several pieces due to excessive use, the old Seitiya wall has only recently undergone some repairs. Where it can withstand continuous bombardment, there have been several collapses.
This was a great opportunity to attack the city, but the Romans were blocked from the trap outside the city and could not reach the city smoothly. They could only watch the Wolsey people repair the gap with stones and mud. But this also allowed Quintus, Lisignius, and Freuz to have more confidence in attacking Setia.
They sent thousands of light infantry, risking being stabbed by the traps under their feet, attacking the Walsh light infantry who had sneaked out of the city, and eventually forced the Wolsey Light Infantry, who was not a small casualty, to go out of town.
A few days later, the Roman soldiers paid a certain amount of casualties and basically cleared the trap before the trench.
Quintus and Lisignius left nearly 15,000 people in the camp. They were led by Camillaus and Freuz, defending against the rescue of Polifnam, and led nearly 30,000 soldiers to Setti. Yacheng launched a storm.
The wide and deep trenches of Setia and the dense deer village under the wall became the biggest obstacle for the Romans to attack, but it was the most powerful helper for the Wolsey people to kill the Romans. They threw down their javelins and arrows desperately. Ya, stone, rolling oil...
The Romans paid a lot of casualties.
After a hard battle for a long time, the Romans finally used the siege car to kill the repaired original wall gap. The soldiers poured into the city through the gap. They found out that there was a block of land in front of them. A short wall, the city is full of Wolsey warriors.
The Romans found out that they were mad, but the unknowing comrades behind them continued to infuse and quickly squeezed this long and narrow martyrdom.
Walsh is a high-ranking, long-range attack from all sides, every stone, every javelin can cause damage to the Romans. The blazing flames that were thrown by a large number of throwing tanks made the Romans fall into jail...
After paying the price of more than two thousand casualties, the Roman army failed to attack the city.
Quintus and Lisignius returned to the camp with a gloomy look. Camilles did not say anything, but called the doctors and soldiers in the camp to treat the wounded.
The Wolsey people in the city of Setia were greatly encouraged by this victory and strengthened their determination to defend the city.
After two days of rest, Quintus and Lisignius did not listen to Camilles' dissuasion and insisted on attacking the city again. Camilles could only agree because of the support of Freuz.
This time, Camilos alone led nearly 10,000 soldiers to stay in the camp, including some wounded soldiers.
The three military and political officials of Quintus, Lisignius and Freuz led more than 30,000 Roman soldiers, mainly from the east, west and south, and launched a storm on the city of Setia.
The battle is going very intense.
In the afternoon, the Romans successively attacked the city. The Walsi people had to completely retreat to their newly built second wall. Because of the shortage of staff, they even had to arm the old man and the women and send them to the city to defend themselves. The fierce attack of the Romans.
At this critical moment, the reinforcements of Pleefnum came and they attempted to bypass the camp in Rome and rescue Setia.
Camillaus was wary of this. After receiving the return of the detective, he left more than 2,000 people to guard the camp and personally led 7,000 soldiers to the camp.
The reinforcements of Polifnam are the 8,000 fighters with the main force of the Dionyrian First Army. Although their strength is not much different from the last time, the attack of the mixed forces is far from the last time.
After Kamalus noticed this, he felt uneasy.
Sure enough, not long after the return of the detective confirmed his concern: there are thousands of Wolsey fighters, who are rapidly approaching the city of Setia from the north.
Where is the power of the Walsi people in the north? ! Camilles heard the news and was puzzled at the same time as extremely uneasy.
In fact, after receiving the news that the Roman army had once again aggressively attacked the city of Setia in the early morning, Principals decided that it was difficult for Setia to withstand the storm of the prepared Roman army. He made his own suggestion, and the Wolsey reinforcements listened to this bold proposal.
They sent 5,000 Wolsey warriors, first marching southwest, reaching the marsh area near the coast, then turning north, using their familiarity with the terrain, sticking to the edge of the marsh area, and avoiding the Roman detective. Exploring, around a large circle, appeared in the north of the city of Setia.
At this time, the siege war is going to the most white.
The newly built earth wall bears fierce battles between the two sides, and there have been many collapses. Whether the Setia people are women, old people, or teenagers, as long as they can take spears, they are almost all sent to block these gaps. And Quintus also pressed all the forces, hoping to break the city of Setia in one fell swoop.
When both sides were trying their best, Wolsey’s reinforcements appeared, and it was the 5,000 strongest fighters. Polefornam’s efforts to save Setia were all done.
When Quintus, Lisignius, and Frius got this shocking news, if they were hit hard, then they couldn’t help themselves with their own swearing: "Damn detective! Why didn’t I find out until the Wolsey reinforcements forced me? ?!!......"
Of course, Quintus also sweared a few words, "Why didn't Camillas block the reinforcements?..."
Of course, this accusation is ridiculous. The other two are Kunstus because they are anxious to say the unintentional words. After all, they have got the news. Camillaus is leading the army to resist the Polaforna attacked from the south. Mu reinforcements.
The Volsi reinforcements from the north are approaching quickly, and the Roman army has fully invested in the siege. It is difficult to draw troops to intercept. As for the more than two thousand soldiers in the camp, they dare not take it away. Otherwise, they were sneaked into the camp by the Wolsey, and they lost the mountains and grains and weapons in the camp. www.readwn.com~ More than 40,000 people The huge army will also be difficult to maintain.
"If we first let the soldiers use the outer walls of Setia to block the Wolsey reinforcements, we will concentrate on capturing the inner city of Setia," Frius suggested.
"The Wolsey people in the city are very tenacious. We have tried our best. Even if we win the entire city of Setia, the tired soldiers have extra strength to fight against the four or five thousand enemies who have just joined the battle!" Li Sinous looked at Quintus and worried about his opinion.
"Retreat." Quintus simply said: "The defense facilities in the city of Setia have been basically destroyed. It is difficult to hinder us in a short time, and the Wolsey warriors in the city are left. More, these thousands of Wolsey reinforcements come right, tomorrow they will become our captives! Freuz, your suggestion is very good, let the soldiers near the outer wall to block the enemy's reinforcements, for the retreat of the whole army To gain time."()
