v3 Chapter 40： Rescue

"The ruling official, the Crotones are many, we are few people, rushing to attack, will it be -" Cornelus worried that when he just exported, he was topped back by Amintas: "You are fighting." If you don't understand, don't mix it!"

Davers immediately blamed Amintas and apologized, and then explained to the old citizens such as Cornelus: "As the governor of Amendola, and as a long-time battle leader, I will Very cherish the life of the citizens of Amendola, not very sure, not to attack the mighty Crotone army indiscriminately! The Crotones occupied Turui, the great glory and the rich spoils. And our Amendola Lama chose to give in, they must be very proud, their general Meranthus is a more proud person! These Crotone soldiers loaded with loot are on the way back to the road, I am afraid how to go home Obtaining property, there is still the desire to fight, it is estimated that the campsite is exhausted, the camp defense is inevitably lax, and we give them a heavy blow when they are asleep, just like the last time they regained Amendola. "Daves sees Cornelus. They are meditating and fill in another sentence: "Of course, if our spies find that the Crotones' camp defense is very strict, then the battle is only Cancel. "

Felicius emphasized: "The plan of the Archon's adults is indeed feasible!"

Antonios said: "We agree!"

At this time, Scamblas, Trito de Moss, and Prote Silos pre-empted their approval and the offensive plan was passed.

"Now I will call the citizens of the four brigades to gather in the square. The captains must pay attention and tell the soldiers not to be jealous, not to be noisy, and to be quiet! I don't want Croton's spies to discover our anomalies!" Davers calmly issued an order: "My offensive plan is..."

Felicius and the veterans who served as team officers were all killed.

Daves also said to Cornelus: "Turiy suffered such a disaster. As its alliance, we should go to help its people. I want to form a Tuli emergency rescue committee, and you will be in charge. To provide various services such as food, accommodation, and treatment to Turui..."

Cornelus only hesitated and nodded.

The other old citizens who hated Turui remained silent, but Stromboli reminded: "If you take food to help the Turifs, I am afraid we will not eat enough."

"Don't worry!" Daphus said with confidence: "The Crotones robbed so much food, and when they defeated Melanthus, they have everything." He added in his heart: Of course Will also get more important things!

"I hope that the Crotones are not alert as you said." Stromboli did not argue again, because his heart also had expectations.

Davers remembered that there was another person in the city-state who was extremely familiar with Turui. He was busy asking: "Is it right, is Knogolata's injury good? ""

"It should be a lot better. I saw him in the temple yesterday. Without the help of the slaves, he went down the mountain alone," Scombrus said.

"Let him be your assistant. He is familiar with the people and things in Turui." Davers said to Cornelus.

"But he was before -" Cornelus hesitated.

"I think that Turui is a mother who raised him and raised him. He is a place where he grew up and lived for decades. Turri’s injury to him should not be as good as his fear of Turui. And miss, especially after the city of Turui was burned down!" Daphus said affirmatively, although he had only been in contact with it a few times, the old man in his impression (in fact, Kunogolata is also in his early fifties) In the past few years, it took a lot of energy for the stability and prosperity of Turui, and even he did not hesitate to offend many people. He would not easily put Tuliyi down.

Sure enough, Kuno Gorata, who had heard that Turai was burned to the city and was almost faint, was informed by the Senate and immediately rushed to the house of Cornelus to discuss the rescue.

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

At this moment, Daphus summoned the leader of Lucania, Vesba, and his son, Bagul, in his house.

"Tonight we are ready to attack the army of Crotone, I hope that you can also participate. If you win, your five-year service period will be cut in half." Daphus did not have to circle the circle and said straight to the point.

"Attacking the army of Crotone?! I heard that they can have more than 10,000 people!" Weisba, although he is a slave, is not obscured, he hesitates.

"We are participating!" Bakuule said first.

"Son, you--" Wesbach was flustered and wanted to look at him.

Bakuule didn't look at his father, but he stood up and said loudly: "We Lucanias participate!" Because of his age and status as a leader, Vesba was only restricted to the city and was not forced to take up labor. Ba Gule participated in the rugby match many times during this time, and learned about the special features of the civic army of Amendola, and also learned the magic of the young consul in front of the private chat with the soldiers. He believes that since Amendora Lara dares to attack, it is sure to have a successful grasp, which is a good opportunity for their tribes.

"Good! Very good!!" Daves was not only happy for Bachule's promise, but also excited to see the results of the "assimilation policy" so quickly.

Daves stepped forward and patted Bagul's shoulder. He said with a little excitement: "I believe that this will be a very correct decision for you and your family!"

Bagul did not evade.

Wesbach sighed.

"What to do next, let your brother-in-law, Asistus, tell you that he will be your adjutant, and you are the captain of the Lucania team." Davers looked behind him, Assisi Slightly shy smile on the side.

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

At noon, the Crotone inner army abandoned thousands of people in Turui outside the ruined city of Turui, carrying a large number of looted retreats, but did not burn the pontoon.

The news was sent back to Amendola Lara, accompanied by the priest to the Temple of Zeus on the top of the mountain, offering a bull. In the singing voice, he prayed to Zeus for this expedition. The priests told him. Blessings were carried out and divine fortune was carried out.

Daves returned to the square and told all the citizens waiting: "The foretaste of Zeus is a good sign! We will win!"

Because of the military order, the civic soldiers who did not have a armor did not cheer loudly, but all showed excitement and fanaticism.

The entire city of Amendola is in action.

Watching the people rushing to carry the food and the cattle and horses, carrying the supplies, from the gates of the city, Davos’s brain inexplicably emerged from the previous history of Caesar’s words before the Rubicon River: Got it!"

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

As for what happened on that day, in fact, Ansitanos, who wrote The History of the Great Greece more than a decade later, has a detailed description in the chapter "The Burning of Turui":

On that day, the sky was dark and the thick black clouds were extremely low. It seemed that the gods showed ominous signs at the beginning...

The soldiers of Crotone are not people, they are robbers, beasts! They snatched all the food that they could eat, and even the porridge in the children's bowls did not let go; they snatched all the valuable things, and even the teeth in the mouth of the people did not let go. Anyone who blocks them before they are ruthlessly stumbled and even lost their lives; for those who fell to the ground and pleaded, they turned indifferently. Every house has a desperate mourning from the Turif people, and every street has the blood and tears of the Turif people. What sin the Turifs committed, actually caused such a terrible demon! (It should be said that Ansitanos’s position in the book The History of Great Greece is basically neutral, but in this chapter he invested a strong feeling that the Crotones later protested and thought that Anxi Tanos seriously exaggerated the facts, which was not conducive to the unity of the country and called for the revision. Anchitalos refused, and the lawsuit has been raging for a long time.)

Finally, the Crotone soldiers used the shield spear to drive the Turifs out of the city, and then covered the branches and hay in the corners of the city, and the city of Turui began to burn...

The Turais watched as their homes turned into ashes in the fire, and the temples that were worshipped collapsed but could do nothing. Did the gods abandon Turui and let Hevistos cast an angry fire!

After the retreat of the Crotones, the Turai people, despite the smoke of Turui, still smoked, and ran into the city with madness. The hot temperatures fumigation of their flesh and blood They are desperately rushing into the ashes of Mars, looking for everything that works...

If you don’t live, don’t eat, don’t wear, don’t have money, how can the Turais survive in the plains of Sobari, which has become a wilderness...

Just when they were desperate, the Amendora Lara appeared.

Thousands of Amendora people carry hundreds of vehicles (half of which are hidden weapons), start to rescue the Turifs, build tents, and dig camps... Kuno Gorata completely forgets Tuli What the Iraqi people had done to him before, I heard that the wounds he had been beaten before were not all right, but he did not stop running in every corner to help all the Turius who needed help; the chief executive of Amendora Lara Nerus arranged staff, distributed supplies, and organized the rescue work very orderly...

Please allow me to mention Daves at the end. At that time, he was the consul of Amendola Lara and the hero who saved the city of Turai from the Lucanias, but the Turui people still I saw him for the first time, and I saw him in a difficult situation. In their eyes, this young man who looks like a young adult is as close as his own child. He always has a gentle smile, listens to the painful confession of the people, and comforts the injured people with gentle voice. Pick up the crying children, wipe away tears and dust for them; raise the injured old man and send soft bread...

Under the leadership of Daves, the Amendola Lara people, like their loved ones, did their best to help the Turifs. Daves once again saved the Turif people, so that the Turifs who lost their homes were not suffering from hunger and disease. They thanked the Amendola Lara in their hearts and thanked the heroes who saved the Turifs twice. Foss!
