Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The Syracuse army once again lost.

Not long after, another Syracuse general led 3,000 soldiers to arrive, seeing the wounded soldiers and the low morale.

After the injured Stacycos learned about the whole battle, both sides realized that the Diaonians had a thorough preparation, so it would be very difficult to recapture the Yuri Ruth fortress, and they all began to regret the previous Yuria. Neglect of the Rus fortress.

So, the two joined forces and carefully planned the next attack.

At this time, responsible for the defense of the Yuri Rus fortress is the fifth captain of the Eighth Army, Diocasis.

In the previous consecutive battles, one of the Eighth Corps was seriously injured, and the first captain had been guarding Serinus, so there were two vacancies in the position of the captain, Dioccassis. Because of his excellent record, he has been promoted to the captain by the company commander. Leo Tiddides, who is very important to him, has given him such an important task to complete this task, so even if he repels the enemy of the attack, he also Not taking it lightly, summoning Telantus and the other two captains to discuss and improve the plan to defend the fortress.

When everything was in place, he began to worry about food.

The soldiers did not carry the rations in order to make the assault smooth. There was some food in the fortress warehouse, but this was a food reserve for 200 people, but for the more than 3,400 Daonian troops, Diocassius Estimated a bit, only enough for one day of use. It is more difficult to transport large quantities of food from the foot of the mountain and from the outside to the fort. This is one of the reasons why Leo Tiddides sent only 3,000 people here.

At this time, Telantus found Diocasis and advised him: "We need doctors and nurses here, and the injured soldiers urgently need treatment and care!"

Diocassis saw him look anxious and knew that he was worried about the injuries of the soldiers of the more than 20 mountain detection teams.

Before Tyronetus personally led 100 reconnaissance brigade soldiers to successfully turn over the wall, both to attack the fortress, but also to intercept the small sentinels that came from the two sides of the walkway, but also sent people to tie the ropes hanging down the city, In the case of the enemy, I was the pioneer of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade. The rapid and brave attack led to the chaos of the defenders who were caught off guard, creating conditions for the succession of the follow-up troops. Of course, they also paid some casualties. .

"You are right." Diocasis immediately agreed, and took the opportunity to say: "However, the mountain road here is more difficult to walk, and the sky is dark, but these are not a problem for your mountains to detect soldiers, so I hope you Can send a small team of soldiers, go down to the medical camp, pick up a few doctors and nurses, and bring some engineers and carpenters by the way."

Telantus glanced: "Engineers and carpenters, do you want them to install guns on the fort?"

"This is a reason." Diocasis said in a positive color: "In addition, they want to install a pulley device on the wall, which can easily pull the raft to the city."

"I will send two teams down the hill right away." Telantus immediately promised.

At this time, some soldiers came in and said in a hurry: "The captain, the enemy began to attack!"

Diocassis and Telantus looked at each other and quickly walked out of the dormitory and boarded the city.

This time, the Syracuse army not only attacked the fortress from the south, but also many soldiers on the east and west sides of the wall were approaching the fortress quickly.

The squadron sent by Stacycos told the arsenal of the army's attacking fortress that Teeggenis and Falekus, although not only the Dionyrian army outside the West City had begun to attack, Dionysius outside the East Side. The Asian Allied Army is also assembling, but in order to recapture the fortress and destroy the enemy who broke into the city, the two generals sent hundreds of soldiers, marching along the city's aisle, marching north, and participating in the offensive.

The enemies in the three directions attacked at the same time, but Diocassis was not nervous because they had already arranged in advance.

The more the wall of Syracuse is going north, the narrower the walkway is. It is not easy to build a wall on the high ground. After all, there is a topographical bonus. It is not easy for the enemy to attack. It is not necessary to be tall and thick like the wall near the main city. The wall walkway near the junction on the west side is only 4 people side by side.

Diocassis sent two heavy infantry companies to the aisles on both sides. They were arranged in an extremely thick shield and spear wall to prevent the enemy from trying to enter the fortress through the wall.

At the same time, the light infantry on the east and west stone walls of the fort were picked up by bows and javelins to attack the enemies on the walled aisles not far from them.

It is very difficult for the Syracuse soldiers on the aisle to break through the interception of the Diaonian heavy infantry, because the walls are built along the terrain, and the intersection is the highest. They also need to attack upwards, but at the same time Preparing for the sidefire from the fortress, the 10% strength can only make 30-40%, completely no threat to the frontal Dionys.

In the face of countless Syracuse soldiers from the south, the Diaonian soldiers on the fortress took out the prepared round grass cages, poured them on asphalt, lit them with fire, threw them, and burned one by one. The fireball ran down the terrain and rolled into the offensive ranks of Syracuse, causing great confusion. The soldiers rushed back and pushed each other, and many of them fell.

These grass cages, which were stored in the warehouse, were originally used by the Syracuse garrison reserve to climb the mountain to attack the enemy. The Daiyan soldiers used it to attack the original owner, and the effect was equally good.

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

When the news that the "Mountain Scouting Brigade successfully captured the Yuri Ruth Fortress" was quickly returned to Leo Tizides, he did not hesitate to gather the army of the camp and once again issued an order to "strike the city."

Although the army had just had a fierce siege yesterday and paid a lot of casualties, it was to create conditions for the night attack of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, and now it will continue to occupy the troops of the Yuri Ruth Fortress. In the city to establish a foothold to create conditions, so Leo Tikides sent 10,000 soldiers, carrying a ladder, pushing the siege equipment, divided into three waves, launched to the entire wall of the Western Wall to the sea wall The attack.

In addition, he also retained a heavy infantry brigade and two light armored battalions for a total of 3,000 people to prepare for the purpose, not only to support the siege, but to have deeper expectations, if the development of the war is beneficial to his own, he Will consider putting this reserve team into the Yuri Rus fortress in the north, and join the original troops to lay the victory in one fell swoop.

To this end, he sent a number of commanders, hoping to maintain close ties with the troops of the fortress of Iriarus and keep abreast of the dynamics.

At the same time, he also sent a messenger to the east of Syracuse to inform Zantitips of the "successful night attack" and hoped that he would urge the coalition forces to increase their attack on the East.

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

Most of the Syracuse civics fought fiercely with the Daiyans in the east, west and north, but one army was leisurely in the square next to the Temple of Apollo, 4,000 from the port area. Soldiers don't seem to be in a hurry to face the battle, they sit or lie, or chat, play, or sleep...

Compared with the ease of the soldiers, as the commander of this unit, Hiktas on the platform of the high-seat square seems to be very worried, but he does not know among the thousands of soldiers who rested under the stage. A few eyes have been paying attention to him.

"Artemis, it’s been so many days, this old guy still has no action, it seems that he is not going to trust our kingdom!"

"He doesn't do it. We simply open him and go directly to Zamoratis. They are more familiar with us and have a better impression of the kingdom. I believe they will be able to convince them and return to the kingdom!"

"Don't worry, if Hiktas really made up his mind to protect Syracuse, he sent people to catch me up, and then rectified the entire port area, but he did not do so, indicating his proposal to me. There is still an idea, but he is still hesitating... We need to give him some time to continue to convince him. And his prestige in the port area is very high ~ www.readwn.com~ If there is no him to join, rely on Zamora Tis them, I am afraid it is difficult to convince most port people to join us. By then, the news has already been exposed, which will inevitably lead to the vigilance of the Syracuse Council, so the efforts we have done before will not only be in vain, but also affect The commander of Prosous captured the progress of the city of Syracuse and affected the war of the kingdom against Carthage!"

"Artemis, I am afraid we can't wait any longer! There has been a lot of riots in the city. It is said that our army has occupied the fortress of Iriarus, and Prosuos and Zantiparis The adults are leading the army to attack the city. The citizens of Syracuse are basically sent out to fight, leaving the army in the port. This is a good opportunity! Think about it, if Hiktas At this time, the 4,000 soldiers were led to launch the riots, and the Syracuse people did not have any extra troops to come to the chaos! Whether he is leading the army to the west or attacking the attacking defending army to the east, it will lead to The defeat of the Syracuse army allowed our army to successfully break through the city!"

"That's right! Artemis, have you heard that our army is storming! We must seize this great opportunity created by our soldiers with life and blood!"

"Well, let me think again... I see... we take the risk, since Hiktas is still unable to make a choice at this time, then we force him to make a choice! We do this..."
