Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 8 Chapter 122: Siege layout (1)

He looked back and looked at the heads of the army who were also observing the Tiber River. "It is rumored that the Tiber River was flooded hundreds of years ago. The middle and lower reaches of the river are full of swamps and wetlands. Especially in this film, so no race and force are willing to build it here. Only the Romans who have been excluded by the Latins choose to settle here. As a result, they are now the hegemons of central Italy..."

"But now we are here, it should give way to this overlord!" Amintas said immediately, the victory of yesterday's battle and the congratulations of King Duffus and his colleagues just now made him very angry.

"Yeah, this is our goal, but we need to achieve it through battle." Daves smiled and looked at the head of the Third Army: "Lizaru, I sent the messenger to Lavinim last night." The battle plan, have you seen it?"

Lizaru immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you let our Third Army cross the Tiber River, build a camp on the north bank of the Tiber River, and block the reinforcements from the Etruscan city-state and the Roman colonial city. Attacking Rome in the north..."

"Yes, this is the task of your third legion." Davers nodded, pointing his finger to the upper reaches of the river, saying: "There is a vertebral bridge in the place three or four miles away. It is Rome and Itru The important land-based roads of the liaison area, the Romans probably won’t destroy it. You can attack the city through this bridge. If the vertebral bridge has been destroyed by the Romans, it doesn’t matter. The Third Fleet will use their warships to build a passage for you to attack Rome. You have to block the reinforcements of the Romans and attack the Roman city. The mission is heavy!"

Daves said here, paused and asked: "I remember the last time you submitted the battle report that there was a company that blocked the attack of more than 5,000 Kautini fighters, and finally guaranteed that they were surrounded by annihilation. Is the company leader who completed this feat called Tagru?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I hope that your third legion can have more team officers like Tagru, turn your camp into an iron wall, and completely cut off the reinforcements facing the city of Rome in the north! At the same time, the third legion will be like a profit. Sword, from the north to give a violent attack on the Roman city, to break through the enemy's defense, open a gap for the whole army's siege!" Daves screamed.

For the ardent expectations of King Davers, Lizaru, who is a small character in the rank of the army, is both excited and nervous: "Your Majesty, the Third Army will do its best to complete the combat mission! But... because of the two sides, the force ...somewhat slightly lacking."

Davers did not respond, and Amintas said aloud: "Your Majesty, such an important task should be handed over to our First Legion! You don't need to send reinforcements to the First Corps, we can complete the task satisfactorily!"

"This mission should be handed over to our Second Legion! The First Corps has been fighting all the time, and the soldiers are not uniform, and the soldiers of our Second Legion are full!" Matones shouted.

Stimulated by the two regiments, Lizzar immediately said aloud: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that our Third Army can certainly complete this mission!"

"You have important tasks in the First Army and the Second Army. You don't have to fight any more." Daphus waved to stop the quarrel between the two heads of Amintas and Matonis, and then relieved Lizaru: "You Don't worry, the Third Fleet will work with you, and the fleet infantry they belong to is not weak."

Lizaru was happy in his heart and asked: "When is the third fleet available?"

"The Tiber River is twisted and twisted, and the Third Fleet has to go upstream. It takes a little more time, but Hades blesses, today is a downwind, and slaves and labor help pull the fiber. They should arrive soon. You must hurry up, cross the river by boat, quickly build a camp on the north shore of the vertebral bridge, and you will also assist the third fleet to level the riverbank so that they can push the warship onto the riverbank. The crew of the third fleet crew Will be merged with you," Daves patiently reminded.

"I understand, Your Majesty!" Lizaru suddenly remembered something and asked: "Your Majesty, if we cross the river after a while, we find that the Romans have no defensive vertebral bridge at all, can I directly kill the past? ?"

"If there is such a great opportunity, of course, we can't let go. All our regiments will cooperate with you to attack the city immediately, but I think the Romans should not make such a stupid mistake." Davers smiled.

A group of people smiled and came to the granary camp at the back of the port.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 90 large barns and ten straw sheds in this camp. The barns are filled with ground wheat flour. There is about 3,000 kg in a barn. In addition to forage and soy. We rescued 45 intact barns, four straw sheds, and eight barns that were burned down..."

After listening to Ledes's introduction, Davers praised: "It seems that these flours and forages are ready to be transported to the Roman army in Helsinki. Ledes, Kuchius, two of your cavalry regiments Timely rushed to win this batch of food, which has both attacked the enemy and eased our supply of military food. This is a great achievement!"

Kuchus interjected: "Your Majesty, we succeeded. On the one hand, we came too fast, and the Romans expected them to prepare for them. On the other hand, the Romans’ barns were very good, very It is solid, fireproof and moisture-proof. It takes time to burn them. The Romans are not serious about repairing the city walls. The repair of the barn is very serious, but it helps us!"

The crowd was laughing again.

Davers said seriously: "It is precisely because we have fully prepared in advance, and the Romans did not expect that we would suddenly rate the army directly to attack the city of Rome, there will be many mistakes, but we must also be cautious. Don't give the Romans a breathing time."

The heads of the military all converge with a smile and nodded cautiously.

"Olivers!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You led the Fourth Army to camp here, protect the granary and the river port, and be responsible for the attack on the Roman west wall tomorrow." Daves pointed to the towering wall in front and asked: "Where do you think is the focus of your offense?" ”

Oliver did not hesitate to point to the long, protruding wall in front of the right side, which is what Daves said before his wall is the largest slum in Rome: "Here! Of course it is here!" It's too ugly, don't take it down, then ruin it, I can't sleep well after sleeping."

Oliver's ridiculous words made everyone laugh again.

Daves nodded and reminded: "According to the plan negotiated last night, the Roman aristocracy and the civilians have deep contradictions. They must find ways to separate them and divide them so that they cannot fight together and fight with us."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Oliver answered seriously.

Arranged outside the Roman west wall, Davers led the army leaders around the Roman walls and rode eastward. The court guards guarded him, while the cavalry of the first and second cavalry regiments followed closely. Therefore, even if the Roman soldiers on each wall saw a group of senior Dionian generals wearing gorgeous armor and wearing a gorgeous crown helmet appearing 100 meters below the city, they looked at the city wall and saw more than a dozen military flags behind them. I dare not rush out of the city to raid.

The group of people looked at each other and quickly reached the easternmost point of the Roman wall, then folded northwest along the wall. At this time, Davers said: "Amintas, you led the First Army to camp here."

"It’s finally our turn to be our first corps. I thought you left us to forget us." Amintas said loudly as he complained.

"Of course I will not forget." Daves said with a serious look: "The First Corps is the most powerful army in our country, and the task you undertake is naturally the most difficult. From here to the Tiber River. The walls are the offensive range of your first legion, and you must put enough pressure on the Romans!"

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that I will not only let the Romans know that our first legion is powerful, but also to break into Rome from here!" Amintas said confidently.

"In addition, the wall section here is very long, but the offensive force is the least in all directions. After the city breaks, the Romans are likely to escape from here, you must ensure that you try to intercept them all!" Daves solemn Said.

Amintas replied and immediately replied: "This... of course there is no problem!"

"And ~www.novelmtl.com~ You have to pay attention to the location of the camp of the First Legion is farthest from the main force of other legions. From here to the east, there are several Roman colonial cities, so the First Army is very It may become the target of the key attack of the Roman reinforcements." Daves reminded him with a dignified look.

The expression of Amintas also became solemn, and he nodded.

"The Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade will be stationed with the First Army, but they have important tasks to perform and will not attack the city with you."

After listening to Davers, Amintas looked at Izam, and Izam smiled at him.

"Izam!"

"In!" The middle-aged Duques are no longer as happy as they were when they were young, and he responded respectfully.

"In order to prevent suspicion from being seen by Roman soldiers, you should not go to the Tiber River to survey the terrain during the day. The rainy season in Rome is December to February, which has already ended, and last year, although Rome did not suffer from drought, it was shown by intelligence. The number of rains is a little less than in previous years. We have already seen it downstream, the water flow is gentle, and the water level on the shore has dropped, so your chances of success are great."
