Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The news spread, the anti-Spartan alliance was uplifted, and Agslaus was shocked. He predicted that the situation was not good. He immediately ordered that the troops abandon the previously occupied ports and cities in the Corinthian Gulf to avoid being broken. .

However, this order came too late. Under the leadership of Ayfi Klatters, the strategists who revive the morale attacked respectively, and they regained the port of Pilion and Seaton... In this way, the Spartan allies were stationed in many ports occupied by Corinth Bay. The town, the army that is almost going deep into the Pio Summer region, has been cut off.

Agreslaus urgently ordered his brother Tate Tias to lead the fleet from the sea to recover these scattered garrisons and place them in Lekion and Siegion, focusing on the two important towns in the Corinth region. And the port. As a result, the offensive momentum of the Spartan coalition has been severely frustrated and has to be turned into defense.

The anti-Spartan Allies attacked Leicaon several times and were all repelled and had to stop the attack.

The two sides entered the same phase again.

But the embarrassed Iphie Craters was not willing to be in the status quo. He led his light infantry units, carrying rations, not rear, boldly invading the central part of the Peloponnese, Sparta's most loyal affiliated area - Arcadia, who began to raid the village, plundered food, destroyed farmland, and repeatedly ambushed the Arcadian army who came to attack them, and finally led the Arcadians to dare to fight with it, and could not ignore it. Its crazy destructive action can only ask Agassius for help.

Agassius felt embarrassed after receiving requests from the Arcadians for help. At this time, the Spartan coalition forces faced the offensive pressure of the morale's rising enemies, and they felt that the troops were tight, and the troops of Iphikrats. It is the most troublesome thing for him. In his heart, he has already regarded this person as a strong enemy: fewer soldiers sent to rescue, I am afraid that it will only be defeated by the awkward Athens general; the number of people sent is more, and the city of Collins is worried. The enemy took the opportunity to counterattack.

But Arcadia must go to the rescue, because Sparta, the owner of the Peloponnesian League, is very different from the former Tirol League, the lord of Athens.

Athens’ attitude towards its allies can be said to be overbearing: to tribute tribute, to send armed colonies, to support democrats close to Athens, and to have privilege in the Allies, and to have to go to the Athens courts to resolve the disputes in the local area, and once they have joined The alliance, if you want to quit, will be attacked by the Athens army...

Spartans have a much better attitude towards the allies. As long as he does not betray it, Sparta will often negotiate with the allies to decide the matter, because it has neither the huge population of Athens nor the strong financial resources of Athens, nor the powerful navy of Athens, even among the soldiers of the Sparta League. The real Spartan warrior will always occupy a small number. Sparta relies on the name of the Hedawei that Spartan warriors have established in the past 100 years. They can leave the alliance and Sparta can't do anything. Therefore, despite the defeat of the Spartans after the defeat of Athens, the attitude towards the ally has changed, but the essential things have not changed - Sparta needs the ally.

As the king's Agassius, he knew this very well, so he finally decided to return to Sparta and explain to the Presbyterian Council the reasons for the frustration during this time. He also asked the council to send additional reinforcements to Arcadia. .

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

Early the next morning, Daves had just finished breakfast, and the captain of the guard, Martius, entered the big account: "Your Majesty, Midolades asked."

Daphus had a move: "Let him come in."

Mido Lades looked into the big account and immediately slammed on one knee: "Your Majesty, I came to sue you! After you issued the order yesterday, I sent a warship to patrol outside the West Riding Harbour. As you expected, there was indeed an enemy ship rushing out of the port at night, and our warships tried their best to block them, but the enemy’s skill in boating escaped from our encirclement and fled to the south. Our two The Clippers have been chasing and there is no news yet."

"Why did the Syracuse people take the risk of late-night boating and escape the blockade of the Dionysian fleet?" The clerk of the side, Heinepolis, remembered the conversation with Daves yesterday, and could not help himself. Shouting: "Dionysius! It must be Dionysius running!"

Midorades heard a shock and looked at Daves. He saw that the wise young king’s brow wrinkled and then stretched out again. He said with a smile: “Don’t just rely on this information to sue Onisius ran. Midolades, the sea outside the port of Siritin is so wide that even if all our warships are put on, it may not be able to fill up, not to mention that only four or five ships can be dispatched at night. The ship patrolled, the enemy had the heart to escape, and the fleet could not stop."

"Your Majesty!" Midolades was deeply grateful for the understanding of Davis.

"But the enemy ships rushed in and smashed out, as if our fleet did not exist. This is a shame to the Dionia fleet! It is a shame to every Dionysian sailor and captain!" Dave Sis looks serious: "Our fleet can't be complacent because of many defeats in Syracuse, forgetting that our savvy skills, whether it is the handling skills of a single warship or the formation of the entire fleet, are not as good as Syracuse. The guarantee that our fleet can win many times is just the 'crow', relying on the strength of the legion!..."

Daves said that Mido Lades was flushed, and he said shyly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will step up and practice the fleet with Selkarian after returning, one year later... No, After half a year, you will see a significant increase in the level of the Denonia fleet!"

Daves nodded gratifiedly: "Very good, I look forward to seeing a more powerful Dania fleet after half a year!"

Then he said: "Get up, Mido Lades. If only one or two enemy ships escape, they will punish my heavy generals. I am afraid that it will not take long for Diaonia to have a good naval commander."

Dave's jokes made Mido Lades nervous, and he stood up and hesitated and asked: "But Dionysius -"

Davers interrupted his words: "This is not your concern. What you need to do now is to strengthen the alert to the port and prevent the Syracuse fleet from escaping. At the same time, 30 three-layer paddles will be delivered to Lee. Jim, Seclín’s fleet needs to be strengthened to get Sicily’s maritime advantage, can it be done in two days?”

"It doesn't take two days, Your Majesty. I can deliver the required ship to Lijim today." Midorades immediately made a promise.

After sending the naval general, Henipolis hurriedly asked: "His majesty, what if Dionysius really fled?!"

Daves has already made a decision on this issue at the moment. He said slowly and unhurriedly: "What is panic! Dionysius ran away, meaning that the battle in Great Greece is over, which is good for us!"

"But the first corps in Sicily and your riot plan there will be affected!" When the first Dever of the Daves went to Sicily, Henipolis listened to Daves. After his plan in Sicily, he expressed concern at the moment.

Davers looked at him and said softly: "Herney, you are overestimating Dionysius, even if he is strong, don't forget that the whole army he will bring is left in Great Greece. One person fled to Syracuse, but he was a deserter! What would the people of Syracuse lose their loved ones think? What do the people of the Sicilian allies think?! Although I don’t know what happened to Sicily these two days. But Dionysius is definitely not an easy task to calm the anger of the people! He ruled Syracuse and Sicily by strong force, and now most of his army is here. —"

Davers pointed to the West Side City in front and sneered and said: "There is not enough army. Can he still suppress the Syracuse people who want to overthrow him?!"

Henipolis’ eyes brightened: “It’s a good thing to say that Dionysius escapes!”

Daves was silent for a moment, in fact his words were to comfort himself: Dionysius dared to flee alone, there must be a way to deal with the dilemma of Syracuse, after all, he has been operating in Sicily for many years, once let He managed to escape, and Daves’s plan to disturb Sicily may fail. It may even lead the lord to lead the reinforcements to attack the Great Greece after annihilating the First Corps...

So Daves had a sense of urgency in his heart, he said: "First we must be sure that Dionysius is running away!"

To this end, he called the Izam of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, and asked him to send soldiers to pay close attention to the movements in the city from all directions in the city, and to return at any time.

Throughout the morning, the city of Si Li Ting has remained calm. No messengers were sent to the Dionya camp to seek peace. Even the Syracuse detective that had been swimming in front of the city every day was gone, only on the city. The number of soldiers has not changed, but Dionysius, who usually appears in the city every morning to observe the enemy, did not appear today...

After understanding these situations, Davers had a bottom in mind.

In the afternoon~www.novelmtl.com~ He once again sent a mountain reconnaissance brigade soldier to scream in front of Xi Liting City: "Syracuse, you are here to defend the city seriously, but your lord Dionysius has run away. !"

"Syracuse people surrender! Dionysius has abandoned you, and you are still fighting here for what!"

"Why did Dionysius run away?! Because our first legion of Dionya has captured Sikuri and Katane, and now is attacking Syracuse! Dionysius no longer runs away, just back Not home!"

"We didn't deceive you. When you attacked our camp yesterday, did you ever see our first army?! No, right? They have already landed in the Gulf of Naxos! Dionysius blocked the news. Is to escape yourself!"

"Today Dionysius didn't appear in the city? Is he running! You don't believe, you can go to his big account and see if he is still there!"

......

The words of the Dionysians under the city are like throwing a boulder in a calm pond, splashing with countless waves.
