Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 8 Chapter 58: The dispute of the Roman Senate (1)

Therefore, Antiuum is an important goal of his third army landing assault. The reason why he first attacked the city of Astura was because he needed a port to safely unload the siege equipment carried on the ship.

The day was not yet bright. Lizaru left only two thousand soldiers to stay in the city of Attra, leading 6,000 soldiers to the port of Naples, taking the cargo ship prepared in advance, under the guard of the third fleet commanded by Midorades. In the early morning, land on the coast near the city of Astura.

More than 6,000 people attacked the small town of Astura, guarded by 120 Roman soldiers, and easily occupied it.

Then, the Third Corps almost went north without stopping, and it took only half an hour to reach the city of Antibes.

In the city of Antibes, the four Roman squadrons, together with the squad, are only 700, but they have to defend this not-so-small town.

In front of the city, Lizam will fully deploy the siege array of 5,500 soldiers. When the siege equipment arrives, the soldiers will immediately carry the ladder, push the siege car, block the arrow... from south and north. Dongsan launched a full-scale attack on the city of Antibes.

On the occasion of the defense of the Roman garrison, the third fleet led by Miladers broke into the port from the south, and 500 Third Army soldiers took the battleship and forcibly landed at the dock.

Lizaru’s move to the West was completely beyond the expectations of the Roman defenders. They had never seen such a combination of sea and land tactics, so they did not arrange defenses at the port. Of course, they did not have more people to defend. But this is the subject that the various legions of the Kingdom of Dionia will train from time to time in the military camp. It is extremely skilled in use.

After the Dionian soldiers landed, they quickly rushed south and soon occupied the almost unguarded South Wall connected to the port.

The Roman garrison has gone...

When it was dusk, when Quintus and Freus arrived, they were left with an empty city.

The sailors of the Third Army of the Dionynia and the Third Fleet moved all the food and oysters stored in the city to the already prepared cargo ships.

At the same time, Camilos and Lisignius have led the remaining troops to dismantle the camp and begin to retreat north...

On the evening of the news, the news of the retreat of the Roman army, the people of Plefernham and Setia cheered for victory, and the top of the Wolsey Alliance hosted a banquet in the city of Plevenham, Amintas and Printor. Senior officers of the First Corps of Dionia, etc., thanked them for their contribution to the rescue of Wolsey. At the same time, they also hope that the Dionysian army can continue to help Wolsey and recapture the territory occupied by the Romans.

Amintas, who has been criticized by Daphus in the letter, learned this time. He cautiously replied: "Diaonia is very willing to assist the Walsi people to regain lost territory, but if the Romans are heavily guarded In the occupied towns, we want to take back, we need more soldiers to attack the city. Now you know the situation in the Kingdom of Dionia, because of the drought, food shortage, we can’t send more troops, so During this time, we can only do our best for the time being!..."

The Worthy people expressed their understanding.

Despite such a small episode, the atmosphere of the entire banquet was still very warm, and everyone was happy.

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

The next day, the troops led by Camilos and Lisignius arrived in Antigua.

Here, four military and political officials have another small dispute.

Because from yesterday to today, Kuntus and Frius continued to receive news from the port sentry: the Dania fleet cruised the sea outside the port and blocked the cargo ships coming to the port.

This made the two military and political officials who had never experienced this experience feel helpless and nervous. They stood on the south wall and looked out the port. The huge fleet of hundreds of Diavian warships covered the entire sea. They have given them unprecedented pressure, so they think: Antioum is too far away from Rome, and at the same time always faces the threat of the Dionysian fleet, and always prevents the landing of the Daiyan soldiers, this will It is not necessary to contain too much force in Rome! It is better to give up Antiuum and concentrate on defending the city of Villitre and Satnikum in the east, thus getting rid of the threat of the Navy, and the city of Rome can provide support at any time...

Lisignius expressed his opposition to this. He believes that the Senate has passed a resolution to use Antigua, Willitley and Saturnic as a Roman colony and decided to relocate landless civilians. Among the three cities, except for a part of the land as a public land in Rome, other land is allocated to these citizens. If they renounce Anthem, they will be accused and attacked by Roman citizens.

At this moment, Camilos also said: This matter must be approved by the Senate. As a military and political official, you must not make a statement.

Eventually, the matter was put on hold and the four reached an agreement: Li Si Nius led a 10,000-strong squadron of Antioch, and the other three military and political officers led the troops back to the city of Satnikum.

Due to the lack of strength of the Wolsey coalition forces, it was unable to launch an attack on the former Worthy towns that were heavily guarded by Rome. The war between Rome and Wolsey temporarily resumed calm.

But in the city of Rome, it began to become uncomfortable.

The deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of Roman civics and allied soldiers shocked the people of the city. The last time there was such a big casualty occurred in the battle with the Celtic Aria River ten years ago. Ten years later, when the Romans who had become accustomed to the victory saw the remains of the citizens who died after being cremated and returned to Rome, they almost fell into sorrow.

Some of the deceased's relatives screamed: the military and political officers who led the army were incompetent, and even in the case of absolute superiority, Rome suffered such a big failure!

There are also people who know some insiders complain loudly: Should not resort to the powerful Kingdom of Dionia, otherwise it will not pay such a big sacrifice!

Of course, there are people who are arrogantly yelling: The Daonian messenger should not be let go at the beginning, or you can use his head to pay homage to the lost soldiers! Rome should reorganize a powerful army and launch an attack on the Wolsey area again, completely destroying the Wolsey and the Dionyns there and avenging the dead citizens!

Compared with the urban citizens who fell into anger and grief, the landless civilians were relieved after learning that "Antibem had recovered and the Walsi people stopped attacking." After the Senate announced the resolution “Assigning the Conquered Worthy Land to them”, they were anxiously awaiting the implementation of this proposal.

In the Roman Senate, there was a meeting, except for Lisinius, who was still stationed in Antiuum. The other veterans were all present in the venue, and they all listened to Kami. Lus, Quintus, and Frius, the military and political officials who have returned to Rome, talk about the whole process of this war.

The first thing to tell is Camillaus. He first talked from the command of the Senate and led the army to Tsem Lung Ping. He said: He found that Tselon had no rebellion and took the initiative. Hundreds of hostages, and re-signed the Rome-based alliance agreement, on the way back he received the order of the Senate again, south to support Quintus and speed up the conquest of the Wolsey area, so he and Frius led The army rushed to the army and successfully raided the city of Antibes. Then they quickly attacked south and reached the city of Setia. Because of the arrival of the Wolsey reinforcements, they had to stop to camp and wait for their troops with Quintus. Meeting teacher. However, because I did not know the arrival of the Daiyan army, I did not withdraw the grain-raising troops in time. I did not even think that the Diaonians had attacked the tens of miles and attacked the grain-raising troops, forcing him to lead the team to cooperate and eventually Under the attack of the Wolsey and the Dionyns, they suffered a fiasco...

Quintus tells: He and Li Si Nius led the army to conquer Villitre, defeated Wolsey’s reinforcements, and then the city of Ksatnikum, then went south to join forces with Camilos, and then After several attacks on the city of Setia, the Warsi people crossed the marsh area, bypassed the exploration of the detective, suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and suffered a defeat, just as they were preparing to launch another attack on Setia. The Onyans took the ship and wandered to the rear of the army, captured the anti-empty Antigua, threatened by the grain passage, and worried that the territory of Rome and surrounding allies would be attacked by the Dionyns. So I led the army to retreat.

Freuz’s remarks are more about confirming and supplementing the facts of the previous two military and political officials. www.novelmtl.com~ For example, he said that Camilles once opposed the direct attack on Setia and had another An operational plan. At the same time, he also mentioned that the withdrawal of the army is the first proposal of Camillaus...

The trio told the whole process of the war. The veterans began to hear the excitement of successive victories. In the end, suddenly the situation was reversed and the emotions were frustrated and frustrated. Most people could not keep calm and whisper each other. The discussion is non-stop.

At this time, a veteran named Apleus stood up and shouted: "This war, the failure of our Rome, first of all, is the responsibility of Camillaus! If it is not for him to rush to the army, In the case of superior military strength, the failure to timely defeat the Diaonians led to a fiasco in the end. Not only did we lose many heroic citizens, but also the morale of the remaining soldiers and the growth of the Welsh people. The arrogance gave them the courage to dare to resist the attack of our army in the next battle, and let us suffer again. So, given Camillaus’s command mistakes, the huge Romans caused in this war. Loss, I think the Senate should give Kamilus severe punishment, and should also consider whether he still has the need to serve as a military officer."
