Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Although they are less than a thousand people, their offensive methods have left some of the light armored squadrons in the camp.

Because the time left for the Dionyrian army was too rushed yesterday, the soldiers only built a large camp and a ditch, and did not set up a deer and trap in front of the camp. As a result, the Latin reinforcements were divided into multiple teams, approaching the camp from multiple directions. Standing in front of the trench, launching a rocket into the camp.

A large-scale battalion of the Chinese army that accommodates three infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments has a very large area. Only the light armored brigade of only 700 people cannot achieve comprehensive protection. Therefore, tents are ignited from time to time. They forced them to rush back and forth and rush to the fire, because once the fire became bigger, some of the camps would be burned and the soldiers who were attacking the city would see it, which would inevitably affect their fighting spirit.

In this way, the manpower of the defense camp is even more inadequate.

Daves urgently transferred hundreds of squatting labors to help fight the fire. At the same time, he also sent a hundred court guards as the mobile force for the camp defense, which barely managed to cope with the current situation.

The siege war has been going on for nearly four hours now, but still has not seen breakthrough progress. Davers sat in the big account and still looked calmly at the staff on the map.

Heinepolis, who was originally recorded on the side, seemed a little anxious at the moment and walked back and forth in the account.

Davers had to say: "Herney, sit down quickly, don't walk around, let me see."

Henipolis said anxiously: "Your Majesty, more and more enemies attacking the camp, even the enemy's reinforcements appeared on the east side of the city of Rome, threatening the camp of the First Legion... Now we are surrounded by enemies. The reinforcements, there are no extra troops available in the camp, and the various regiments are still blocked under the city. The soldiers have suffered a lot of casualties. Then they are deadlocked. I can’t take down the city of Rome until one day. I am worried... I am worried..."

Daves waited for him to vent his worries, and slowly said: "Besides Turui, Rome can be said to be the largest city on the peninsula. Even if its main force is not here, it will not be captured. It is an easy task.

Our various legions have not made no progress. You have just heard it. The Second Army has used more than 100 soldiers to attack the city and has gained a foothold. The Third Army also occupied the Roman Spine Bridge. The bridgehead on the South Bank is expanding the scope of its attack; the Fourth Corps has used the siege vehicle to collapse the wall, and the soldiers have broken into the gap and are temporarily blocked under the city...

We are like the Romans in the tug-of-war competition. The Romans have tried their best to stay with us, but the power of this outbreak is impossible to last. We are adding strength, a little bit. Pull the red rope over until the power of the Romans is completely overwhelmed, and they will surely collapse! ”

Daves clenched his right fist and slammed it with confidence, saying: "As for the Roman reinforcements -"

"Your Majesty, good news! The adults of Epiphanis led 4,000 soldiers to the battlefield, and together with the adults of Tolmid, completely defeated the Roman reinforcements in the southwest, the first and second cavalry regiments were chasing the defeat, Tolmid And Epiphanis is leading the army!"

"Great!" Henipolis, who had a look of sadness, is now full of joy.

The staff members in the big account also applauded.

Daphus’s face also showed a smile: “I will immediately inform Tolmide and Epidinis to send a heavy infantry brigade to the defensive camp. Other troops will rush to the rear of the Second Corps and wait for me. The command!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Acinna Russ quickly issued a notice to the commander, and soon he returned to the account again, excitedly said: "Your Majesty, the return of the detective, the Sixth Army and part of the First Army attacked the city! ”

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

On the surface, the First Corps and the Sixth Army took a conventional siege, but Davers had suggested that they try to climb the city with a rope hook.

The rope hook climbed the city. This was the first method of siege that Daves invented. It was originally used to capture Amendo Lara and gained a foothold in the Great Greece for the mercenaries. As Dionia became more and more powerful, various siege devices were successively manufactured, and the methods of siege were more and more perfect. This simple rope hook that gave great help to mercenaries has long been forgotten to the corner.

However, Daves did not forget, because considering that after the army arrived in Latin, there may be a lot of siege battles, so specially sent people from the corner of the armory to take dozens of sets of dust that have been covered with dust. Come out, re-polished and put on the ropes to be prepared.

Amintas always advocates offense, likes to take risks, and accepts Daves' advice without hesitation. The Sixth Army Chief Trotillas was also a member of the Persian expeditionary mercenary. Turri, who came with Daves, grew from an ordinary soldier to a military commander. His combat experience is not rich, and his combat merits It can't be said that it is not good. He certainly will not allow his own corps to be mediocre in this significant siege.

Both of them understand that if they want to succeed, they must blind the enemy's line of sight and make a surprise attack. Otherwise, if they are found, they will increase a lot of casualties. Therefore, the two men all join the rope hook to climb the city. The location is located in the southeast corner of the city of Rome.

Here, like the southwest corner, the city wall protrudes outwards, but unlike the southwest corner, it folds a few folds, eventually forming a small sharp corner, which is far from the Roman gates. The city wall is also easy to block the line of sight and is not easy to find.

So in order to achieve this goal, Trotilla allowed the Sixth Legionnaires to concentrate on attacking the wall between Esquiri and Vimena, which is about 400 meters from the southeast corner.

Amintas was even more embarrassed, allowing the First Legionnaires to storm the wall between the Capitoline and the Querilino Mountains, which is two miles from the southeast corner.

Trotillas is ready to let his light armored battalion complete the task. After all, their lighter attire is easy to crawl, so he left two heavy infantry battalions in the big camp.

Although the camp of the First Corps was far from the Central Army camp, Amintas boldly left only one heavy infantry brigade in the camp, and allowed more than 700 mountain squad soldiers who remained in the camp to perform this task.

However, after careful observation of the terrain, the careful Trotilla found a problem: although the southeast corner wall is relatively remote, the walls of Rome are very high, and the soldiers on the city can see far away from the city. The task of the Diaonia soldiers want to be close to the city wall, even if they do not carry the siege equipment, it will cause the enemy's suspicion and prepare for it. After thinking, he decides to let the soldiers do this...

After Davers learned about Trotillas's idea, he hit the festival, so the Sixth Legion's rope hook climbing plan was quickly established.

Originally, there was a garrison on the southeast corner of the city, but as time went on, the continued violent attacks by the First Corps and the Second Corps made the Roman generals responsible for the defense feel the strength, and had to adjust the soldiers on other wall sections to enhance Defence, the defenders who have been doing nothing at the southeast corner are certainly within the scope of being drawn.

Not long after, the defenders in the nearby city saw: hundreds of Roman auxiliary soldiers in the distance in the southeast are being chased by the Dionian soldiers, fleeing towards the city of Rome, although they occasionally have soldiers caught up by the enemy. And stabbed, but most of the squadrons still climbed through the ditch and went to the southeast corner of the city. Perhaps they were afraid of being attacked by the city's defenders. The hundreds of Dionysian light infantry stopped chasing. Steps, but not reconciled to stop in the distance.

The defenders who saw this situation were guessing which of the Latin city-states the Romans were from (the Roman auxiliarys were mostly owned by Latin-American citizens).

As the enemy is attacking the city, it is certainly impossible for the defending soldiers to allow these defeated soldiers to enter the city, and the fighting is fierce, and they are not allowed to have more leisure time to pay attention to the life and death of these allies. However, the appearance of these broken soldiers indicates that the Roman reinforcements are The places they can't see are fighting the enemy, which inspires the morale of the defenders.

But they did not know that these Roman assistants were dressed by the Dionysian soldiers. They wore the armor and equipment of the Roman soldiers who had been cleaned up in the battlefield two days before the victory of the battle~www.novelmtl.com~ Thus deceived the attention of the defenders and successfully came to the southeast corner of the city, they avoided the line of sight of the defenders, connected the ropes wrapped around them, put on the hooks, dozens of rope hooks quickly completed.

The war continued, the Roman soldiers struggled against the enemy's attack, and gradually forgot the existence of the broken soldiers. Occasionally, the corners of their eyes swept across the southeast corner of the city and saw dozens of "Romans." The soldiers were stationed and thought to be sent by the neighboring defenders. They did not attract attention. Even if they saw the Diaonian light infantry crawling through the ditch and rushing to the southeast corner, they did not cause too much vigilance. After all, they did not carry any siege equipment, not to mention the presence of soldiers in the city.

But after a while, they found that the situation was wrong: the Diaonian soldiers began to appear in the southeast corner of the city, and more and more, those "Roman soldiers" did not fight with the enemy!

The two defenders, Marcus Atilius and Balbus Fabian, learned of the bad news and were shocked. The situation was extremely urgent. Even though they were in tight hands, they also urgently pieced together a force. The two generals personally led them from the west and south sides to the southeast corner of the city wall, vowing to drive the enemy out of the city.
