Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

However, Mejis is more cautious. He first reminded Paulus that it was during the landing of the Dionys that they suffered a fiasco because of their promotion and attack, which led to the dangerous situation in Rome today, so he suggested: because of this The support army is the greatest hope of the Roman people in the city, but the number of 8,000 soldiers is still not enough. It is necessary to gather more soldiers to be able to defeat the Diorians more confidently. This will not only save Rome but also wear them. The Onyas drove out of the interior, so they should continue to march eastward and join the reinforcements of city-states such as Prinist, Gaby, and Bonnet.

Both sides have their own opinions, but they are not willing to split the team into two, because that will only weaken the attack power of the army and lead to the failure of their respective plans. In order not to delay valuable time, they can only make decisions and let the soldiers make choices.

Nearly 3,000 Latin reinforcements do not matter, but more than 5,000 Roman civics have migrated to the three towns in the west of the Latin region because of the distribution of the land, but there are relatives and friends in the city of Rome, and they are clear: There are not many civic soldiers in the city of Rome. If the time is delayed and the city of Rome is broken, the land they just owned will eventually disappear, so most soldiers are eager to defeat the Dionyrian siege. So support Paulus's opinion.

Mejus felt very sorry, but he still blessed Pauls in good faith, and then only led a **** to quickly rush to the east.

Paulus quickly assembled the team. Although he was anxious, he remained awake. He knew that the front of the Camp in Dionia was still very simple, but to break it, it may cost a lot of money, and now the time and The soldier was the most precious to him, so he decided to bypass the camp and push the city down.

On the way to the army, the adventure escaped from the interception of the enemy's ride, and the detective with the return of the injury brought back a bad news: there were five or six thousand Devian infantry in front, and many cavalry.

Paulus was shocked. He did not expect the Diaonians to retain so many soldiers to defend while simulating the city.

But he immediately calmed down: the situation has developed to this moment, there is no possibility of retreating, he can only lead the troops, forward without hesitation, repel the enemies who block the road, the city of Rome has hope!

He issued an order: the army stopped moving forward and immediately began to array.

Considering that there are a lot of cavalry on the opposite enemy, the failure of the previous battle was caused by the strong cavalry of Dionia attacking the flanks, so this time Paulus learned the lesson, he carefully shortened the length of the array and increased The thickness, and more than a thousand light infantry in the Latin reinforcements are placed in the center of the military array, protected by heavy infantry... After the array is completed, the entire military array is similar to an oval.

When the Dionysian army reflected in the vision of the Roman soldiers, the sorghum's military squad came from the opposite side.

The Dionias took the lead in attacking the Roman army.

At the forefront is the two-wing cavalry regiment. The horses are rushing, the hooves are like thunder, and the dust is stirred up in the sky. The distance of a few hundred meters is instantaneous.

Looking at a behemoth with a strong force and rushing, the Roman soldiers of the two wings had fear in their hearts.

But in fact, this is just an illusion. The Dionysian cavalry did not have the ability to be a strong and strong infantry regiment. They forced out their short spears while they were passing by with the Roman army.

After all, these Roman soldiers had once played against the Dionysian cavalry. Under the reminder of the squadron leaders, they clashed with shields.

At the same time, the light infantry in the military array also shot the arrows in the hands of the Diaonian cavalry.

For a time, the Roman soldiers were shot down and the arrows of the Dionysian cavalry were visible from time to time.

Just as the Dionysian cavalry passed the flank of the Roman army and rushed to the rear, the infantry army of Dionia was approaching, and the captains of Rome were busy shouting: "Caution javelin, shield defense !"

Klotok Katex followed the comrades around him and threw the javelin in his hand, and then rushed out of the second javelin with almost no breathing.

At this time, the screams from the opposite side made him feel excited at the beginning of the battle, but he did not have time to savor the so-called sense of accomplishment, the soldiers in front began to charge the enemy, he took the court guards Then keep up.

Even though the javelin rain caused some confusion in the Roman army, when the soldiers of the Dionya began to charge, the Roman soldiers also armed with a shield and strode forward.

One side is brave enough to defend the homeland and drive away the invaders' convictions; the other side shoulders the safety of the entire army and must fight to stop the enemies. The two armies violently slammed together, and each of them tied the spear and the spear to the enemy.

At the same time, the cavalry of Dionia turned around and rushed to the rear of the Roman Army.

"Post turn! Turn back!" Under the command of the captains of Rome, the heavy infantry squadrons, which lined up at the last side of the Roman Army, turned around and raised the long shield against the cavalry. The Roman light infantry in the center of the military array also turned around to bend the bow and arrow, and the javelin and the arrow were once again staggered in the air...

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

The Roman soldiers fought against the enemy in the city, and the people in the city were not idle. They were organized by the elders and kept transporting all kinds of consumed defense materials to the various walls, and they continued to carry the wounded to the city.

Seeing the loved ones hurt or even dying, the Roman people have no time to cry because they are sad, they must seize all the time and do their best to help the army keep their homes. Because the enemy begins to attack the city for less than an hour, the situation becomes Some are severe.

"General Marcus reported that the enemy's offensive was fierce. In order to stop the enemy from attacking the city, the soldiers paid a lot of casualties and hoped to get reinforcements!"

"General Seveus reported that his army is fully defending the enemy and attacking the city, but it cannot prevent the enemy from using the siege equipment to continue to destroy the city wall. He hopes to send more soldiers behind the city to form a defensive formation to prevent the city wall from collapsing. After that, you can block the enemy's breakthrough!"

"General General Pullo came to the newspaper. The enemy used the warship to build a number of pontoons on the Tiber River, so that their attack was not limited to the vertebral bridge. Now the soldiers are fully defending the entire embankment, but the enemy is fierce and continues to fight. Going down, the physical strength of the soldiers cannot be supported and I hope to get more support!"

......

The Roman Senate originally had Grand Scipio responsible for the defense of the entire city, but after the siege battle began, Big Sippia found it difficult to control the entire Roman city because the city of Rome was too large and the walls were It’s too long, and the roads in the city’s neighborhoods are mean and uneven. It’s time consuming to convey orders or send reinforcements. So he decisively handed over the command to the Senate and concentrated on the siege of the Diaonians in the south.

The Senate quickly completed the transfer of command, and even in order to more conveniently coordinate and organize the people of the city to defend the city, the veterans came to the Roman Forum, and the military command was mainly handed over to Portitos and Marugine Nernsey. Several other veterans who have served as governors many times are not only because of their senior qualifications, but also because they are often in charge of fighting as a consul, so their combat experience is quite rich.

But even Capitus, who has served as the governor five times and has promoted Camilos on the battlefield many times, has never experienced and seen such a siege warfare: countless heroes' snipers, huge attacks City towers, splicing wooden carts that can be Tibetans and strange filling methods, terrible belly bows, warships to build pontoons... What is even more terrifying is that the Diaonian soldiers who attacked the city are not only well-trained, but also brave and powerful.

According to Portitous, their previous siege experience: There are tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the big city like this. There are no more than 100,000 people. It is impossible to win without two or three months to half a year.

But less than two hours before the start of the war, the defending army seems to be unable to stand up.

The elders also panicked. At this time, they also refused to consider any clan rights and interests, and organized the slaves in their families. They also informed the clan that they were all in action and would be able to pick up the shield spears. Both the men and the slaves were summoned to the Roman Forum, about 10,000 people, and they urgently formed formations, distributed weapons, and then sent them to the much-needed battlefield...

Usually the vast old square of Rome ~www.readwn.com~ At this time, it was crowded and noisy: on the one hand, the veterans were preparing for the newly formed troops, and on the other hand, the people were helping the wounded who had been lying on the ground.

Looking at the nearly ten thousand troops that were intensively shortly before the stage, there were only a thousand people left. The slave soldiers were not very comfortable with wearing helmets. They shook their heads from time to time, holding their arms and eyes... Portito Su Shi’s heart suddenly burst into a feeling of being uncomfortable. He rubbed his chair with his hand and said with difficulty: “The last thousand people sent to the Great Scipio. Although he did not send someone to ask for help, Other military forces have encountered difficulties. It is impossible to defend the south easily. I understand Great Scipio. He is definitely doing his best to try to avoid making us embarrassed..."

"Hey, Rome has not experienced the enemy attacking the city for decades. The people lack the experience of defending the city! Not to mention the enemy is still Dionya!..." Ambustus sighed remorsefully: "Just blame us." These years only focus on expansion, there is no good re-planning and repairing city defense!"

This makes the next veterans listen, and they all share the same feeling: if the curved Roman wall is unplugged, it will be flattened; if the brick walls of the city wall are more closely spliced, the stone will be sewed with stone pulp. Fill in; if the wall is built on the embankment of the north side of the Roman city; if there are deer villages on both sides of the ditch; if the streets in the city are planned to benefit from the early days... I am afraid that the city will not feel so difficult today!
