Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Well, you are the commander, you have the final say." Epiphanes once again shrugged at Felicius and turned to complain to Agarcia: "I said Chief Executive, can you give some brothers? Wheat flour, there is no oatmeal, at least you can drink porridge. The brothers have eaten two days of dried beef, and now it is a bit difficult to pull."

"As the head of the Fourth Army, you don't know, half of the soldiers of the Fourth Army are from here, how can the people here be ill-treated to their loved ones. But Asprostum is a small town with a small population. Not rich in wheat, the surplus food of the people has been eaten by you in the past few days, where there is food!" Agasia said helplessly.

"That's a torment, Syracuse's cavalry cut off our grain transportation path. I have already let the investigation team bring the news of 'we have food supply difficulties' to the majesty. I believe that it will take a long time for the army to arrive. The food problem will be solved.” Felicius also comforted him.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!" Epiphany, since Dracos died, his mood became more and more anxious. He didn't want to stay in the bureaucracy and said loudly: "I went to the city to see the situation. ”

Said, he strode out.

Agarcia looked at Felixius, who was sitting in a daze. He deeply felt that the death of Dracos had a great influence on both of them. He himself was not the case. At the beginning, he invited Tima Song, Kryand and other former comrades to come to Dionia. As a result, these people attacked Crimea without authorization, triggering the second Crotone war, although Crotonet was defeated. The power of Dionya has expanded, and Daves has never blamed him, but he himself is very self-blaming. Since then, Agacia has devoted a lot of energy to political affairs to forget the inner embarrassment. After several years of tempering, he became the second person in the group of former mercenary veterans to be appointed as the chief executive (the first is Hilos) because of his good administrative ability.

With the accumulation of political experience and being in Asprostum, he has been dealing with Crotone for a long time. He knows how unwilling the Crotones are to lose the South American hegemony, especially in these few After the strength of the year was restored, they did not sing to the stage in the Nanyi League. Therefore, there was another speculation in the heart of the 'Don’t rush out' command from King Daves: His Majesty seems to have left the tin. Lacuza weakened the meaning of Crotone. But in this way, does Dionia have the ability to defeat Syracuse independently? !

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

The Crotone inner siege war has been going on intensely.

The Syracuse used the bow of the towering tower at the top of the tower and the abdomen bow in the tower to clear the guards of the city and slowly approach the wall.

The Crotones also discussed some ways to defend the siege tower during these two or three days, such as using a rifle to attack centrally and attacking with a rocket. After the siege tower was close, the tank was thrown. They burned with fire; at the same time they also made a long iron-clad square wood used to push the siege tower and prevent it from approaching the city wall...

Even with such efforts, several siege towers were close to the city wall, and the wooden bridge was laid down. The Syracuse soldiers rushed to the city through the siege tower and launched a fierce battle with the defenders.

Lucias urgently sent reinforcements to the soldiers. After fierce fighting, they took the enemy one by one.

Just as the Crotones placed their main forces on the siege tower, the Syracuse soldiers climbed the city through the ladder several times and fought fiercely with the defenders.

Crotone and Trina, the Silitary coalition have been stubbornly defending.

In the afternoon, the siege city of Siracusa broke the northern gate of Crotone, but the Crotones had already sealed the door with stones and wood.

However, the joint use of several other siege vehicles and the Zhoushi car eventually led to the collapse of a section of the city wall and the heavy casualties in the city.

The Syracuse soldiers took the opportunity to quickly climb the collapsed **** and wanted to rush into the city.

Fortunately, the reserve team organized by Lucias arrived in time. This team of free people, old people and teenagers relied on a huge number of people and defending their homeland to resist the fierce attack of experienced Syracuse soldiers. .

Time has passed until dusk, and the sky is getting darker. The leaders of the coalition forces, such as Lucias and Cipros, are all happy, thinking that they will finally end the battle of this day.

However, Dionysius did not intend to return to the camp. He asked the slaves to push a wooden wheeled cart filled with wood, asphalt, resin, and oiled lint stacked inside. They pushed to the moat, ignited with fire, and immediately ignited a pile of fires to illuminate the entire wall.

Dionysius immediately ordered: blowing the attacking army, slamming the drums and continuing the siege!

The defenders who had been struggling to support and thought that the battle should be over saw the Syracuse people retreating. Another wave of attacks came on, and the morale of the defenders was one.

The relentless siege efforts of the Syracuse people finally paid off. Under the pressure of the soldiers, after the sacrifice of countless lives, because of the weakening of the garrison power, the upper city ramp built by the captives finally put the sandbags on the wall.

The long-awaited Syracuse soldiers rushed to the city to fight with the defenders who came to intercept. Dionysius, who was in a hurry, even let the guards around him devote themselves to the battle of the city.

The defenders could no longer support and began to withdraw, so that the Syracuse people stood firm in the city and quickly expanded to other directions.

"Fast! Go to Lucyas! Tell him, send reinforcements quickly, otherwise the North City can't keep it!" Ascamas screamed at the commander.

However, at this moment, the north, west and south sides of Crotone inner city are under strong attack. The eastern port must guard against the landing of a large number of enemy ships in the offshore waters. The only reserve team is struggling to resist the enemy forces attacking from the wall gap. There are also extra reinforcements.

Just as the Croton's generals were stretched out because of their strength, they watched the enemies rushing to the city raging. "Boom!...Boom!..." It was a few loud noises, and a section of the city was once again attacked by the siege car. Kill. In the dusty, with the roar of the Syracuse people, the Crotones who fought for their homes finally showed their fear, and through the cover of the night, began to panic and shouted: "Flee! The enemy came in." The city is broken!..."

The reserve team, whose morale is not high, collapsed. Not long after the defenders in the city began to retreat...

The Syracuse people broke through the barriers of the city wall and rushed into the city. The entire North City defense was completely destroyed.

Lucias, Sis Protus and other high-level painful see: the panicked soldiers ignored their dissuasion, such as the tide generally ran past them and fled to the depths of the city; the people on both sides of the street also helped the elderly Carrying young children, fleeing together; crying, screaming, screaming throughout the city...

Seeing that the enemy is clearing the guards of the city wall, it is advancing toward the center of the city. Although Lucias is in a hurry, it is completely chaotic, and I don’t know what to do.

At this time, a long dragon consisting of torches appeared from the depths of the city: "Go to the Temple of Apollo! Go to the Temple of Apollo!!!..."

This neat shout reminded the Crotone people in the panic that they ran to the Apollo Temple, the seat of the Acropolis near the city center, under the illumination of the torch.

Lucias and his party also rushed over.

"Who is letting you do this?!" Lucias hurriedly asked the soldiers who had executed the torch.

"It is General Milon!" the soldier replied.

At this time, Milon was not a general at all. His task of defending the port was asked by Askamas, but this did not hinder the soldiers' respect for him.

Lucias did not care about this at this time. On the contrary, he was grateful to Milon in his heart. If he did not take timely measures to guide the people to the Acropolis, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He looked back at the wall of the fire, and the soldiers watching the heavy figures were still desperately blocking the enemy's attack. The screams came one after another, and suddenly the heart was like a knife.

He was concerned about reminding the soldiers around him: "The enemy will soon be killed, and you will have to return to the Acropolis as soon as possible!" After he finished speaking, he and others were involved in the chaotic flow, and they must rush to the Acropolis to appease The panicked people maintain the order of the Acropolis, and at the same time organize the people to hold the last fortress of Crotone, the Acropolis.

"Adult ~www.novelmtl.com~ We won! We broke the city of Crotone!!" Damocles was thrilled.

Dionysius was equally difficult to hide his joy and accepted the blessings of the attendants. He immediately prayed to Apollo with enthusiasm to express his gratitude.

In the midst of cheers, Pfeidas, who fell into meditation, looked a little different. Today's siege war gave him a great shock, not only the ingenious and powerful siege equipment, but also the organization of the entire large siege team, but he was shocked by Dionysius. Spicy.

It was incredible that Dionysius had failed to attack the city and the soldiers and teams who fled the battlefield had killed the killer! In the traditional Greek war, there was never a practice of disarming troops. Even Sparta did not have such a tradition. After all, the atmosphere of the Spartan society advocating the honor of fighting would make the deserters nowhere to be. But Dionysius not only did it, but more than once, thus forcing the Syracuse soldiers to desperately attack, regardless of life and death, and even created a miracle that broke the great Greek powerhouse Crotone inner city within one day.

This allowed Fibidas to look at Dionysius, who used to think that he was not good at field, but such a victory is probably based on Dionysius's death to death.
