v3 Chapter 44： After victory

The captain of Castellon’s city defense did not return for a long time, and the roar of the Crotone camp seemed to have disappeared. Out of doubt, he personally led ten cavalry, from the south gate to the city, past the pontoon, westward through the not too big woods, everything is no different (Alpens light infantry have long been before The bodies of the detectives were hidden and the traces were removed. Until they bypassed the turn of the Trionto River, struggling to climb to the high slope, appearing in their foreground is astonishing: this camping in the Crotone A wide piece of plain land, a collapsed tent, scattered weapons, running around, wailing horses and beasts, even more terrible are dense bodies, painful and wounded soldiers, and blood-stained red land in camps. There are a lot of heavily armed soldiers in the center. They are surrounded by more people who are not well-dressed, and they are constantly escorting the rows of prisoners who have been tied back and stringed into a string...

Huge fears tightened the patrol captain's heart: Did the Crotones be defeated? ! ! !

Taking advantage of these terrible and unfamiliar enemies, the captain hurriedly turned the horse's head and rushed toward Castelón...

"The head of the army, the cavalry of Castellon has returned to the city." Ledes came to report.

"Asistics, informed the seventh brigade and the Lucania team to ambush in the woods, it is likely that Castellón City... No, it should be that Melanius will give us a big gift! Ledes, You continue to closely monitor the movements of Castron City!" Daves gave orders.

"Yes!" Leddes took the lead and Assisi let the commander rush to the north.

After a while, Davers asked Assisi again: "How long has it been to inform the cavalry of Mersis?"

"About half an hour... the head of the army, there are too many things in the heavy area! Because of the attack, some beasts are injured, and some are running away. We are lacking enough livestock to carry those supplies now." Yasis Tesla said with concern.

Daves smiled slightly, pointing fingers at the captives who were not far from the guns and squatting on the ground: "It is not a ready-made 'beast', let them carry the supplies, and always transport them back to Turui. It is not necessary to go slower. Anyway, they can consume their physical strength. These long-term competitive Crotones can still play a role."

"Oh, I didn't think of it! The head of the army, you can always think of a good way!" Assisi shouted exaggeratedly.

"Yasi, your ability to do things is as strong as you can say good things!" After the victory, Daves was also in a good mood, and Iasis joked for a while, then Said: "Go, go see the soldiers, they are the hero of this victory!"

So, in the eyes of the captives in horror and sorrow: in the distance, a golden glory is slowly moving closer, and a big purple-and-red-red crown helmet with a distinctive head appears in the big On the battlefield, those cruel, ruthless enemies immediately thundered like:

"Davers!!"

"Davers!!!"

"Wansheng!!"

"Wansheng!!!"

The wise man in Crotone's captives immediately associates: this general is probably the Amendora Lama, who is insulted in the city of Amendola, and the enemies are the Amendo they burned. The owners of the buildings under the city of Lara, when they ridiculed the cowardice of the citizens of Amendola, now they are shaking under the guns of these "weak" enemies...

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

Castron’s chief general, Amigris, received an emergency return from the city defense captain and was immediately taken to inform Melanius and his subordinates.

Melanius was holding her senior niece to sleep at the hotel, was forcibly awakened, and was extremely dissatisfied. After hearing the anxious report from her subordinates, she suddenly woke up. He said with a fluke: "Maybe the enemy broke into Our camp, the result was captured by the soldiers..."

Timaras’s worries of unusual anxiety: “The Castellonians said that the flags of the armed soldiers are far-sighted, but the shape is strange, not the flag of Crotone!” Melanius, We must go to rescue them!"

"... ah... ah, you are right, right..." Melanius never imagined that when he was arrogant and triumphant, he would be hit by a sudden blow. He could not suppress it. Painful: "Fast! Come with me to find Ampicles, let him send all the citizens of Castron to rescue us immediately!"

It is certainly impossible for Amykles to fully agree with Melanthus. He must first ensure the safety of the city of Castellón, but he did not dare to reject the request of Melanthus and offended Crotone, not to mention the Custer. The soldiers of Long were in the camp. So he hurriedly gathered 700 civic soldiers, led by Meranthus and his subordinates, to go to the rescue.

Melanthus rushed to the camp and marched quickly. Timaras advised him to be cautious. He said: "According to the information of the Castrons, the enemy is less than ours. The reason why we can win is estimated to be a sneak attack. Now they are still in the same place and want to turn our soldiers into prisoners. Our sudden attacks will inevitably surprise them. At the same time, they will also arouse the resistance of the surrendering soldiers. The inside and outside will be attacked, and the enemy will be defeated by us. I want to let these mobs who dare to invade Crotone pay a heavy price!" Melanius is like a gambler who is red-eyed, looking forward to the last gamble, and all the losses before. Win back.

When his troops passed through the forest with marching columns, they were violently attacked by the lighted infantry of the Amendola Lala, where they were ambushed, and Epitynis led the light infantry to pour arrows, flying stones, and throwing javelins, causing massive killing. . At a time when the Castron soldiers with low morale were not in a panic, the Lukarias armed with Greek army knives, such as tigers, rushed into the enemy...

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

"The commander of the army, Crotone's reinforcements were defeated! Except for a few people who fled back to the city of Castellón, others were not killed or captured!" Ledes excitedly rushed back to the report.

Davers nodded, not much joy, this is a well-prepared ambush, victory is a breeze.

Ledes saw his calm expression and said: "The Lucanias also caught the two generals of Crotone, Melanus and Timaras!"

"Oh!" Daphus smiled, not because he seized the commander of the enemy: "The Lucanias have made great contributions, and they can still reduce their sentence by half a year."

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

When the Lucarians cut the columns of the Castellon people into several paragraphs, many years of military experience told Melanius that failure was inevitable.

He immediately turned and fled. Who knows that the Lucanias seemed to have identified him. After paying a few casualties, he knocked him down and then dragged him to Daves.

"Merran Hughes, we finally met." A young, gentle voice rang in his ear.

Melanius struggled to look up, his handsome face was scratched by the sand and stones that had been dragged all the way, the blood blurred his sight, and he blinked hard: a strange young face appeared in front of him .

"Who are you?"

"Davis, the governor of Amendola."

"Amendo Lala? Daves?" Meranthus's reaction to the head's head was a bit slow, and suddenly he widened his eyes: "Amendo Lala?! Amendo Lala!! You are too mean." Without a declaration of war, we will quietly attack us! You have violated the tradition of the Greek city-state and tarnished the honor of the Greeks. The big Greek city-state will certainly punish Amendola!"

"Olympia champion, you are too self!" Daves sneered: "When your army enters the territory of Amendolara without permission, burning the building, the war has already happened. As for the sneak attack, I vaguely remember an athlete's motto, 'The winner proves his strength by action, and the loser can only cover his weakness with an excuse. 'I don't know if I am right?'

Melan Hughes bowed his head and whispered aloud: "I hope that you will be kind to me and the soldiers, Crotone will pay enough ransom to Amendola."

"It is not up to me to be kind to you."

"That...who is there?"

"The people who survived Turui!"

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

When Melsis arrived at the Crotone camp, he saw the heavy burden of the mountains, and suddenly smiled. But he soon got upset because these cars couldn't cross the river.

Daves said with confidence: "This is easy, we cross the river from the ferry."

As a result, the soldiers of Amendola and the people who came in rushed out the valuable things in the Crotone camp, including the weapons, armor, and linen shirts worn by the death enemies. Travel east, through the forest, to see the city of Castellón on the north bank of the Trionto River.

Davers could even hear the cries of the city’s enemies, and he jokingly said to Melsis: "Don’t you say that the beast is not enough? You can borrow from Castro."

Melsis really told people to go to borrow beasts.

Castron’s chief general, Amigris, and others saw in the city: the heavily armed Greek heavy infantry, who passed through the South Bank, was dejected and **** under the escorting of their shield spears. Captives carrying heavy loads and squatting, as well as elated people, and a team full of heavy squad... This long team bypassed the city and went straight to the ferry. Every Castronian man's expression is both nervous and somewhat confusing, but there is no anger and greed, because Castron's civic soldiers lost more than half, and now the city's defensive strength is insufficient, and dare to provoke this terrible army.

"They... Where did they come from?" a member of the council asked nervously.

Looking at the direction of the team under the city, Amykles said indefinitely: "They go to the north, very likely...is the Amendora."

"Is it the mercenaries who beat the Lucanias?!" General Gorkis widened his eyes.

"Most likely!" Amigris, by Gorkis, further strengthened his mind: "Perhaps only they dare to defeat the mighty Crotones!"

"They... they sent people!" someone shouted in a trembling voice.

The people on the head of the city were nervous from the soldiers to the generals.

"We are citizens of Amendola, and the Daves Archon asked me to borrow a hundred beasts from you. When we have finished shipping, we will send you back!"

The voice of the coming people was clearly transmitted to the city, and everyone looked at each other.

Davers! That rumor saved the hero of Turui! The governor of Amendola Lara! Ami Klis showed a bitter smile: he was the second to save the Turais, but the Castrons also suffered.

In the city of Castellón, the generals and the members of the council agreed after a brief consultation. Not because of Daves’ good reputation, but in the words of Amiclis: Amendo Lara annihilated and captured the huge army of Crotone, and the situation in northern Greece will inevitably change greatly. We need to act cautiously, not to mention that Castron may have many citizens who have become prisoners of Amendola, and have made a good impression on Amendola Lara and will negotiate with them in the future.

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

In the early morning, a small number of Turais who had already woken up saw the people of Amendola who had rescued them from gathering together. They began to cross the pontoon and went south. They were amazed and disturbed: Did the Amendola people want to abandon us?

At noon, all the waking Turui people, some free people, and slaves faced the empty camp. The helplessness and despair in their hearts reached the extreme. They were kneeling on the ground and crying. For a small number of people such as Cornelus and Stromboli to persuade them that 'Amendo Lara is fighting the army of Crotone and has won', it is totally unbelievable, and even those who are over-excited yell.

Just then, someone shouted in horror: "Look! Look! There are troops coming!"

The Turais hurriedly looked back and saw a mighty and mighty army led by a strange flag that they had never seen before. They were taking a vigorous step, crossing the pontoon and heading in their direction.

"That is our army! The army of Amendolara! They are coming back!" Cornelus, the city chief of Amendola, did not approve of Croto at the previous meeting of the Senate. Internal warfare, although the resolution was passed, has always been hidden in the heart. At this moment, he is like a child's indulgent cheer.

Kunogolata stared at the Amendora army, and there was only one voice in his mind that echoed repeatedly: "The Amendolars have won! They have won the victory!! They defeated the powerful Crotone Army!!!"

The Turui people will be suspicious.

Soon, when the front of the troops set foot on the north bank of the Krati River and approached them, they saw that the young and moderate Archon Dave of Amendolara was in the head of the strange army. Si! At this moment, he was armed, but did not wear a helmet. He waved at them with a smile on his face. The hot sun shone on his bright and bright armor, emitting the most dazzling light, like a god.

At this time, the people with sharp eyes found that there was a walker behind Davesma, with his hands tied, his naked body, and he was dragged forward. Once he walked slowly, the guards’ guns were shot. Just leave a wound on him. Why does this person look so much like the demon Meranthus who ordered the burning of Turui? ! Was the Crotone inner army really defeated by Amendola? ! !

There is no doubt about the facts. Behind the vanguard, they saw the soldiers of the Amendora Lara armed with stabbing guns and stalking a young man who was also naked and carrying heavy loads. His team stretched south and could not see the head... ...

The Turui people looked at the incredible scene in front of them, tears bursting out. They cried, laughed and shouted, throwing debris at the Crotone soldiers, and some even went up and beaten, all like crazy people. ......

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

Dafos stood on the temporary wooden platform, watching the Turui people who brought the young and brought them together quickly. His expression was solemn but excited and said loudly: "The people of Turui, here In the daytime, the Crotones invaded your homeland, you lost your loved ones, lost your place of residence, and helplessly wept on the ruins! But the gods did not abandon you He let your neighbors - The heroic Amendola Lara is not afraid of the enemy, defeating the demons who destroyed Turui! He let the kind-hearted Amendola people helplessly eat and eat less! The night will pass, the light will be in front of you. Without a home, we can build a more comfortable house! Without the city, we can rebuild a stronger city! Without a temple, we can recreate a more magnificent temple! Turui people, dry your tears, Stand up your chest and join hands with the Amendola Lama. Let's build a better home without foreign enemies!

The tears of the Turais came out again, and they cheered, like the gods, and worshipped the hero Daves who saved Turui twice.

Davers ordered that the captured Crotone senior officers headed by Melanus and Timaras be placed on the wooden platform and handed over to the Turifs to determine their life and death.

The cheers of the Turifs reached their zenith. They swarmed up, spurting their anger with stones, with wooden sticks, with fists, and with their teeth. Soon the Crotones became vague and horrible, but the Turuis still did not stop, even though the enemy had fallen to the ground. , dying...

Ansitanos, who was watching this **** scene, sighed: "From now on, Turui will probably be different..."

Kunogora pointed to Daves, who was standing on the side of the wooden platform and watching the execution of the Turais. He said with a dignified look: "Not afraid, but Turui will definitely be different!"

Ansitanos is silent...

This volume ends here.
