Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

You know, in order to prepare for this vast war, Dionysius not only added taxes to the Syracuse people, but also consumed his own treasury and borrowed from the city of Cyrene, Afrika, even he started. The idea of ​​robbing the Delphi Sanctuary, because there are thousands of Greek city-states donated to Delphi for hundreds of years, but hundreds of thousands of millions of gold and silver property (in real history, During the occupation of the Great Greece, Dionysius really sent mercenaries to pretend to be robbers in an attempt to grab Delphi, but the final conspiracy failed.

If Li Jim is captured, not only can he directly obtain a large amount of wealth, make up for the treasury deficit, but also completely monopolize the Strait of Messina. Only by relying on the tax of merchant ships in the past can he maintain his long-term occupation of the big Greece. As for the purely military view of Li Jim's "nail" before the army's attack on the north, he really didn't care too much.

Fibidas is not in the position of Dionysius. Of course, it is impossible to consider the war from the economic level and understand the hesitation of Dionysius. As a Spartan's stubbornness, although he had already said his reasons for choosing Coleonia before the departure, he decided to say it again to strengthen Dionysius's determination: "Li Jim is cut off by Lockie. It is isolated outside the Nanyi League, but it is not easy to attack it! I have seen the map you gave. There is an insurmountable mountain in the center of the north of Lijim. The east coast can only be reached by narrow mountain roads. On the west side of the coast, you must first pass through the Maro River, and you must capture its sub-state, Taurus, in order to open the road to Lijim. The Lijim will definitely defend the south bank of the Maro River with Taurina, where the area is narrow. It is not conducive to the expansion of the Syracuse forces. It will take some time to attack the Lijim territory. However, the South Italian Alliance will use this time to build a good army and defend the battle against Coulania and Trina. It may even attack Rocky when we attack Lijim, let us be enemies... If the governor who dragged to Dionia led the main force back from the Lucania region, we are in Great Greece. We fought a war on the poor! "

The last two words of Pfeidas made Dionysius shocked, even though he seemed to carelessly: "The Devianian army led by Daves wants to come back from the mountains of Lucania. I am afraid it is not so easy, his trouble has just begun!"

"As long as we hurry up, the South China-Italian Alliance has not prepared for the war and continues to attack the north. It will definitely be able to completely fight their alliance. By that time, Lijim is just a fish in the net, and he can't escape." Even if the main force of Dionia can return from the Lucania region, it will not help the entire battlefield."

Dionysius did not speak, but Fibidas' persuasion had already made him a decision.

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

At dusk, the door of the Nanyi League headquarters was suddenly pushed open, and the accompaniment of Yuli Patos shouted: "Adult! Adult! The army of Dionia has arrived!"

Yuri Patos, who is tired and sleepy, can't believe his ears: it's coming so soon!

In the afternoon, under his urging, he witnessed the West Riding City Hall sending cavalry to the city and outside the city to inform all citizens. According to the practice of the Greek city-state, the citizens of Xiliting received the notice of participation in the war, and they had to deal with the affairs of the family at the earliest one day before they picked up the weapons and equipment stored at home and rushed to the square in the city. It is relatively quick to complete the collection and naming of the civic soldiers the day after tomorrow, and the formation of the troops, the preparation of the squad, etc., and all the preparations, and the final expedition... The chief general of the West Chamber, Pretis, assured him Try to lead the team three days later.

Yuli Patos compared to the previous preparations of his city-state, and he was quite satisfied with the performance of Xiliting today, so before the words of Ansitanos, he was only the scholar who wanted to show that Dionia was active. Attitude does not mean that the Diaonians can really do it, so Diaonia really sent troops out on the day of the Syracuse invasion and actually rushed to the West Court. The surprise for Ulipatos is imaginable.

"Ansantas, great! Thank you so much!..." He was so busy to thank the equally tired Ansitanos.

Ansitanos was not arrogant, and waved his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with me. You should be thankful to the soldiers of the Dionys who have been rushing all the way. Know the 80s from Aspru Sturm to the West. It’s really not easy to get there in one day!”

"You are right!" I was reminded by Ansitanos that Yuli Patos rushed out of the city.

When the two of them arrived, the soldiers of the Fourth Army of Dionia had already started a simple camp near the south road of the West Riding City. Youli Patos saw that they were all naked and sweaty. Apologize in my heart.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, they found the commander, Felicius, who was sitting on the grass and discussing with the head of the army, Epiphanis.

"Anseantas, how come you?" Epiphanes pointed his eyes and shouted.

"You have come so hard, I will of course come to visit you." Ansitanos said seriously that the Fourth Army quickly rushed to the people who were shocked by the West Chamber and other Nanyi League city states. It can be said that it was a A good example also makes Ansitanos speak more in the league. He is honored.

"Which is free to come and visit!" Epiphanis said half-jokingly and half-heartedly.

"Epitunis!" Felicius quickly gave him a look, indicating that he should not talk too much.

Anthanos didn't care too much. After all, he often met in the Senate. He knew what kind of character Epiphanis was, and he smiled and said, "What do you want me to bring?"

"It’s not me. It’s these soldiers who have worked hard for a day. When they are thirsty, they don’t have time to look for water to drink. They are busy building campsites...” Epiphanes pointed to the still busy soldiers. They also pointed to their dry lips: "You see, we are all thirsty!"

"Oh, you guys are really too-" "Yi Patos on the side is so excited that I don't know what to say. I turned and said to my entourage: "You are now going back to the league, calling everyone, going to various restaurants in the city." Buy the pulp and let them send it..."

"Hey, we have nearly 10,000 people here. It is estimated that at night, there are about 10,000 people from the Fifth Army. It is not only a problem of water, we are coming too fast, and the camp is still behind. It is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow. Eating these chilled breads is not enough to supplement the physical strength of the soldiers who have traveled long distances." Epiphanes took out his own ration and shook in front of Julio Patos, reminding you.

"He is joking with you!" Felicius said like Epiphanis, "We have bread and flesh, enough to fill the belly, you don't have to worry about it."

"I can't solve the food supply problem of so many soldiers in Xiliting, but as long as you are in Cologne, I guarantee that the people of Cologne will make you eat well!" Yuli Patos expressed While apologizing, he also concealed the Diaonians, and at the same time he gave orders to the followers: "There is not enough water in the restaurants in the city, and they will pass on to the citizens of the West Chamber, as long as they send the homemade water to here. , send a can we pay twice the price..."

Follow the voice.

"Thank you so much!" Felicius was busy with his gratitude.

"This is the ambassador of Cologne, Juli Patos." Ansitanos is busy introducing.

"Oh." Epiphanis pouted, thinking: It turned out to be a Cologne, and the money to buy water should be yours.

"I really didn't expect you to come so fast, I didn't prepare anything, or I should have a feast to thank you!"

"The banquet is not necessary. Our military law does not allow the generals and soldiers to eat and drink during the war. We have a few days of rations, and we are afraid that the heavy transportation will not be available for a while. I really need to consider letting you test it. Leonia first gave us food." When he became a commander, Felicius had to take into account some details.

"Of course there is no problem~www.novelmtl.com~ I will send someone back tomorrow to inform the City Hall to prepare the ration. I just said that the people of Cologne will definitely let the citizens of Dionia eat well. "Yuli Patos should bear it."

Looking at the countless soldiers in front of the digging trenches, sweating, but doing a lot of heat, Youli Patos could not help but curiously asked: "You have been very tired to get here, just take a tent to rest, why do you have to dig trenches ?"

"This is the provision of the Dionyrian Military Law, mainly to provide soldiers with a safer and more comfortable camp." Ansitanos explained that Dionynia has been established for a long time, like them. The old man also knows some rules of the army.

"Your army is really strict!" As a citizen, Uli Patos certainly had many experiences with the army. Comparing himself and seeing the Dionyrian soldiers in front of him, he could not help but sigh.

"This is still the easiest way to build a camp. Because it is too late, it will not be long before it is dark, so just dig the trench and build the barrier. This is in the territory of the ally, there should be no danger if it is in the war zone. It’s just a few days to build a camp!” Epiphanis is showing off and complaining: “The key is that our Fourth Army will not only build camps for ourselves, but also build the Fifth Corps.”
