Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 8 Chapter 126: Roman reinforcements

"No?? They went to attack Ostia?!" Paulus asked in surprise.

"The specific situation is not clear, I have sent a detective ride to Ostia to explore." Mejis said with a look of concern.

"I hope that Ostia can withstand the enemy's offense! I hope that the Camilles dictator can lead the troops back as soon as possible!" Paulus now regrets that it was easy to fight with the Dionynes yesterday, leading to the current army. Suffering from heavy losses, the morale of the soldiers was low, and they could no longer lead the army. He sighed and asked: "What is the situation of the Lavinim?"

“The Diaonians only held the Lavigne in custody and took their food, but they did not hurt them. Our cavalry had already released them, but they did not know the Daiyan army. Where is it?"

Mejus was talking, but he saw the guards hurriedly pushing the door in: "The two generals, the Roman city came to the messenger, saying that there is a very urgent need to see!"

"Come and ask him to come in!" The two looked at each other and felt a little uneasy.

"The Roman Senate ordered, 'In view of the fact that the Dionyrians captured Ostia yesterday, and now they are marching into the city of Rome, Rome is in danger! Paulus, Mejus, Pantius III The general should immediately lead his troops and rush back to rescue the city of Rome!"

Lost Ostia? ! Did the Dionias go straight to Rome? ! This is like a thunderous thunder, which makes the two people completely shocked. They never imagined that the military actions of the Dionians would be so fast and bold. At this moment, they even regretted the violent behavior with the Dionians yesterday. Fight. But no matter how difficult the military situation is now, they must immediately return to their aid. Otherwise, if Rome is lost, everything will be finished.

The two quickly reached an agreement, and then explained to Pantius who was in bed, let him temporarily sit in Antioum. Then, the two began to recruit soldiers, but they soon encountered a problem: Antiuum as a newly occupied town in Rome, the Senate used it as a colonial city, and the city of Rome and the surrounding areas of Rome The civilians migrated to the town, assigned them to the land, and they were also the main components of the 10,000 Guards of Antigua. Due to the short time, the city has not yet formed its own parliament, and the main urban affairs must be decided by Paulus, the military chief of Anguum appointed by the Senate. However, it is impossible for Paulus to take away most of the civic soldiers of Antiumu, because in the case of the army, the Roman civilians who have been allocated land must first save themselves in Antioch. Um's new property.

Therefore, Mejis persuaded the citizens, and Paulus threatened them with Roman law and power. The two sang a red face and a black face, and they spent a lot of effort to finally recruit. More than 5,000 Roman civilian soldiers who have been scared by the Dionysian army.

When they left the city, the time had arrived in the afternoon, but Paulus did not lead the team to go to Rome immediately, but first through Saturnik and Villitre, because after the defeat yesterday, there were many defeated soldiers. To the two new colonial cities, plus the soldiers left behind in the city, Paulus and Mejus can recruit a lot of soldiers to strengthen their rescue team.

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

Paulus hurriedly left the army and left Antioch. He did not know that there was another huge fleet on the sea near the port of Antiuum. Their destination was the port of Ostia.

The third fleet of crow warships went to Rome along the Tiber River, leaving a fast three-layer paddle warship and other small and medium-sized warships, a total of more than 80 ships, they pulled in the sea north of Ostia Port Open the police line to **** the entire fleet.

"This is the port of Ostia in Rome? It is too small." The merchant ship approached the port, and the merchant of the Iron Island of Tienia, who stood at the bow of the ship, Tios looked at the terminal that was approaching, and he was disappointed. color.

"Now you are seeing a port that has been expanded many times. The port was smaller ten years ago," said Sostatus, president of the Turif Chamber of Commerce. As a big seller of the kingdom, he has a wide sales channel. He has been to Ostia many times.

“It’s not important whether the port is big or small, but why is there so little labor in the port?” Dick Boris, a pottery businessman who just walked out of the cabin, looked surprised. He said with some urgency: “The fleet with us is full. All kinds of materials, just like people to unload, when can I unload the goods?!"

He was talking, and he saw thousands of strong men in the distance lined up and arrived at the dock.

"Hey, my Majesty thought of this problem long ago, sending troops to unload us." Sostatus smiled.

The first to dock at the dock was not a merchant ship, but several large passenger ships. The elders from the Senate were the ones who took the lead.

The court clerk, Henipolis, has stood on the dock and greeted them with a smile: "The Master of Assisi! The Master of Antrapolis! Master Julius! Master NikoMarcus!... Welcome You came to Latin's Ostia!"

The elders also greeted each other.

"Is your majesty in the city?" asked Asisters.

"Your Majesty has led the army and attacked the city of Rome, so he did not come to meet you." Henipolis said.

"Now I started attacking the city of Rome?!" The veterans were surprised that they were not senior generals of the Dionysian army. It was impossible to know the operational plan Daves had made, but after they decided to come to Latin, they I have a special understanding of the situation here. Of course, I know the status of the Roman city in the Latin region. Is it a big city with a population of more than 100,000 people, will it be easily captured? ! Moreover, Rome is deep inland and far from the coast. After Daveus only took Ostia, he directly led the army into the heart of the Latin region. Is it too dangerous? !

Henipolis saw the surprises and worries in their hearts, but did not elaborate, but raised a paper roll tied with black cloth and said: "Master Julius, Your Majesty appointed you as Oss. The temporary chief executive of Tia, responsible for governing the most important port city in the Latin region, guaranteeing the foreign trade of the Port of Ostia, the transshipment of goods, and the smooth flow and prosperity of the Roman city’s sea and river passages...”

Said, he handed the letter of appointment to Jules.

Jules was busy looking at it.

Henipolis said to others: "During the time of Ostia, you can help Julius adults to govern the city. This will also help you to understand the situation in the Latin region in advance, and wait for your Majesty to capture Rome. After the city, you will travel to Rome."

Listening to the tone of Henipolis's words, His Majesty is confident in the capture of the city of Rome! Assisi quietly looked at each other and the other veterans, and then expressed their understanding.

At this time, after watching Daves's warrant, Julius asked: "Your Majesty let me manage Ostia, but this port, except our army, looks like no one!"

"There were about 3,000 workers and slaves in the port, but most of them went to the third fleet to move to the ship. They have already gone to Rome. They will return soon. Your Majesty has made a promise and given The slaves are free, allowing labor and slaves to join Dionia and become our citizens. In addition, thousands of Ostias are being held in the city..."

When Henipolis came here, he suddenly remembered something and said in a hurry: "Right, Julius, my Majesty reminds me that although Ostia has few villains, its location is for us. It is very important to go out to the army! After the Romans have slowed down, they will definitely come to fight for it! Therefore, although there are 3,000 defenders in the city, it is still a little lacking, but now the army must attack the city of Rome with full force. It is powerless to increase the strength here. Therefore, Master Julius, you must ensure the safety of the city of Ostia as the top priority, this is the key to our Dimension conquering Latin!"

After listening to Julis, her face was a little dignified and she fell into meditation.

The reason why Daves chose Jules as the chief executive of Ostia was because he considered that Jules was different from other non-military systems. www.novelmtl.com~ He had long been in military training in Turui. It also eventually became the captain of the reserve team, so not only has a good understanding of the military system of Dionia, but also has a wealth of command experience, in the position of the chief executive of Ostia, he can play his two specialties. .

Of course, Asistics is also a political and versatile political talent, but Davis has another use for him.

"Well, everyone, my mission has been completed." The tone of Henipolis became light and pointed to the entourage around him: "He will take you to the city hall in the city, where there are several subordinates. Waiting for Julius, you are going to give orders. The accommodation of adults and officials, the presence of caravans, the handling of goods, etc., have to be handed over to you. I have delayed waiting for you. Less time, now I am going to Rome and attacking the important battle of the city of Rome. If I can't see it with my own eyes, how can I write down my next biography!..." Henipolis said, doing a courtesy to everyone. Then jumped on the horses brought by the followers and took a team of cavalry to the dust.

The rest of the people stood at the dock and looked at each other for a while.

Jules returned to God and said to everyone: "You adults, you have to ask me to help me take over the new town of Dionia."
