Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Bachule heard the words, stood up, walked to the map prepared by Daves, and pointed his finger at the ramp between the river and the upper reaches of the Cinna River. He said: "The Picosis people used to build here. A camp was mainly for us. After the Potentia occupied Grummentum, it did not give up here, but it was strengthened. According to the investigation team, there are about 200 Potentia fighters in this camp. Stationed, although there are not many people, but the narrow road is not conducive to the expansion of the force, we can not take it in a short time, but will cause the Potentia of Grummentum to be alert if they are fast To reinforce, it will be a big problem for us!

After careful consideration, Master Sesta and I decided not to walk the road. Instead, follow your previous suggestions and directly cross the La River to the North Shore and march from the southern mountain road to attack Grummentum. ”

"The La River is not wide, but the two sides are steep cliffs. The Lukanians with strong climbing ability have to work hard to climb over. You have to bring thousands of people to cross the river. How come?" Questioned.

Bagul looked at Davers.

Davers smiled and nodded.

Therefore, Bakul said: "Dafus adults let Xiao Herakriard send us to follow us for several days and carefully surveyed the banks of the La River. They think they have the ability to build a cross-strait in a day or two. Cable bridge, there are no problems with 6,000 soldiers! Now the ropes and planks of the bridge have been made, just wait for your order from Daphus."

Hermon and Wesbach face each other. They haven’t heard a bit of wind in this matter. They have been trying to mobilize and plan the tribes outside Grummantum to attack the camp that is guarding the ramp. Open the path.

Davers saw that the two faces were not right. They said with care and caution: "According to the "Dyonia Military Law," military plans must be kept secret. If they are leaked, they will be punished. Seriously they will even be executed. Just because you are this. The participants of the second action, so Bagul told you the military action plan, I hope that you can keep the secret after you go back, don't let it go."

Wesbach and Hemon heard the words, released some unhappiness in the heart, and immediately made a guarantee.

"It takes more than a day from Niutum to Grummantum. The 6,000-person troops are easy to be discovered even if they are hidden." Felicius reminded.

Before he waited for Bagul's answer, Hermon said first: "If Bagul led the troops across the river and walked the mountain road in the south, don't worry..." Hermon's fingers crossed the river on the map, confident. Said: "Because of our efforts for this period of time, the tribes in the settlements to the south of Grummentum City are basically willing to have one of our Dionia. By then I will follow the troops of Bagul, I believe The tribes there will not only reveal our whereabouts, but will also help us reach the city of Grummantum faster."

"If the Hmong adults can go, the help for the attacking Grummantum is the biggest!" Dafos smiled and welcomed him. He also said: "In order to prevent accidents, I will send Izam's investigation team in advance. Sneak into the Grummentum area, try to block several mountain roads leading to the south, and intercept the Lucanias who may report to the city to ensure that when you launch a raid on the city of Grumendum, the enemy I still know nothing about it!"

"The tribes in the city promised us that as long as we launched an offensive, they would gather about 500 people to attack the South Gate guarded by Lusau." Hemon was more excited when he was praised by Davis.

"There are several adults working together. This time the action has been prepared very well." Daphus opened his hands and showed a relaxed smile. He looked at Bagul and said with a strong heart: "Bagule, you are The frontline commander, the specific battle deployment and the cooperation with the allies in the city, you decide by yourself, I am not intervening in Turui, I just hope that you try to think more difficult, once there is an accident, you There must be corresponding measures."

Bagul’s look nodded and he felt the pressure. Weisba sitting beside him patted his shoulder and gave him encouragement.

Hermon’s eyes are both excited and envious: this is the first time that the Lucanias have led the war in the Dionysian Union. The future of Bagul is bright, but unfortunately he is married, otherwise he will definitely have a daughter. Marry him.

"What are your requirements?" Davers asked again.

Bakuule hesitated and said: "I took the soldiers of Niutum City away. The defense there is somewhat empty. I hope that some soldiers from Turui will temporarily protect the security of Niutum City."

Davers is still considering, and Felicius immediately said: "Adult, I think you can let Zandiparis go to stay in Niutum, and -"

"And these mercenaries who have been with me from Persia have a lot of experience in fighting in the mountains." Daphus reminded by Filipius that he remembered that Turui had this farm without farmland. The elite power of odd jobs: "They can also help you capture Grummantum."

"With their help, I have more confidence in capturing Grummantum!" Bagul said with some excitement.

Davers stood up and looked around for four people: "Tomorrow I will propose to the Senate - attacking Grummantum, I hope that you will unite and cooperate, and the news of victory will come soon!"

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

After more than two days of trek, the 1,000 mercenaries led by Zantee Parris finally walked out of the mountains to the Lahe Fortress.

For the sake of confidentiality, the pull and fortress have blocked the northward passage, claiming that there is a Lukania who fled from Grummantum, hidden in the forest and repeatedly robbed Niutum. The people and businessmen, Niutum is sending troops to search. Therefore, there are few pedestrians on the road to Niutum, and there is no such thing as a businessman who usually comes and trades.

"When you get here, you will see a flat road. The next road should be better." Tormmid complained: "I heard that the road to Nieuwum to Turui has been repaired for more than a year. Actually only repaired here!"

"After all, this is in the mountains, not in the flats. How hard is it to walk the mountain roads we just walked, you don't know, Davers wants to turn it into a flat road, if I don't even dare Think! It’s normal to repair the road here slowly, as long as it can be repaired.” Zantitipis comforted him.

"Paris, you have been speaking to Deavers for half a year before you come to Deonia!" said Tolmide.

Zantitipis glanced at him: "Are you not?"

The two laughed.

"I hope that this time the trip will be smooth, and we will all become ready citizens of Dionia!" said Tolmid. Before following the First Corps to Cologne, the result was that Locke did not fight and summoned, causing the mercenaries to attempt to gain credit.

"I don't worry about this. I am worried that the brothers will change their weapons and equipment, will it affect their fighting and increase casualties!" Zandiparis looked back at the naked, sweaty soldiers, worried. Said.

Because of marching and fighting in the mountains, Davers suggested that Parisi let the mercenaries not wear the Collins helmet, the thick and airtight linen breastplate, the bronze armor, and the amazing round shield. It was replaced by Lucania’s warrior costumes, leather caps, robes, and wooden shields. (Diaonia seized a large number of Lu in the battle with the Lukaria tribes and the battle against Niutum. The Kania weapons and equipment, thrown in the arsenal of Turui has been unmanned), and Zantiparis, who had experience in mountain combat, after repeated thoughts, finally accepted the advice of Daves~www.novelmtl. Com~ rest assured, our offensive strength is much more than the enemy, not to mention the internal response, easy to take Niutum is not a problem. And the brothers put on the equipment of the Lucarians, this march is indeed a lot easier. Otherwise, climbing a mountain alone is enough to ruin us. But here - "Tormid pointed out the gentle, but always increasing terrain, and said: "It is always climbing! ”

Zandiparis knows that Tolmide is right. He is only a young man, and he is not comfortable with this new change, so he is silent.

Tommede approached him and whispered: "I recently heard from Agacia that Davis had had several discussions with Filipius and the three heads of the army, preparing to carry out the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Dionysian. Transform them to make them lighter and more suitable for long-lasting long-distance and mountain operations..."

Zanti Tiris stunned and said with a little concern: "Is this news true? If there is no bronze shield, heavy armor, is it a Greek heavy infantry?!"

"Paris, don't forget that the Greek heavy infantry used a bronze breastplate decades ago! It's not because it's too heavy for combat, it's finally replaced with the current linen breastplate!" Tormmid reminded: " This is not the point you should care about. What should you consider is why Davers wants to improve the soldiers' equipment?"

Zandiparis is not a fool. After his reminder, he immediately understood: "Duffus wants to expand north?!" Changing the equipment of the city-state army, of course, is not just for a battle or a few battles, it must be The long-term planning service of the entire city-state, Davers wants to make the soldiers' armor light and durable, and benefit the mountains. These characteristics are combined, and then look at the environment around Dionia, his intentions are more obvious, only wear In the north of Oonia, in the north-central part of the Apennines, there will be more mountains and more mountain races.
