v6 Chapter 75： First battle Syracuse (1)

At dusk, the first troops of Syracuse actually arrived in the city of Hibernian, from Lockley through Medma, to Hiberian, more than 100 miles, the army of Dionysius used More than one day's time to force the march, actually finished this trip, it is also a miracle.

The nature of the movement caused by the arrival of the Syracuse army has alarmed the detectives of Trina, who have been closely watching Hiberian’s movements during this time. They rushed back to Lamato, more than 50 miles from Hibernian. Trina City on the shore of Hebei.

The army of Syracuse is coming! ! !

This amazing news shocked the entire city of Trina. Both ordinary people and members of the council were frightened. They never expected the Syracuse to approach Trina on the third day after landing.

According to the original plan of the South Italian Alliance, the main force that defended the most important force of the Lamato River, Crotone, was far from reaching. The West Chamber also sent only a few thousand civics to station in the Ramatu River. Upstream, the entire Lamato River defense line has not been established at all, it can be said that it is riddled with holes. If the Syracuse people launch an attack tomorrow, it will easily break through the Ramatu River and enter the plains of Orphea, and Trina will be the first to suffer from the war.

In an emergency, the Trina Council did not have time to argue. They quickly made a decision under the leadership of the chief general, West Pross, who was elected last year. First, they sent people to Crotone immediately, urging them to send them as quickly as possible. The main force rushed to the Lamato River; second, sent people to the West Chamber immediately, demanding that they go all out to defend the Ramatu River; third, send people to Knapetia immediately, to Diony Asia asked for help; fourth, sent people to go to Cologne immediately, requesting the fourth and fifth legions of the Dionynia to rescue...

For Sipros, who has always respected Dionya, he relies more on the well-trained Legionian army, not the squadrons of the West Chamber and Crotone, so Trina took Half of the emergency measures are related to Daionia.

On this day, the soldiers outside the Camp in Dionia in Cologne continued to work hard to improve their defense. However, with the rapid return of the detective, the warning sign of the camp was blown. The soldiers immediately took a crossbow, a shovel, lifted wooden baskets and other equipment, quickly returned to the camp and closed the camp gate.

"The Syracuse people finally attacked!" Dracos's excited side quickly wore armor with the help of the guards, and asked the adjutant: "What instructions does Filipinos have?"

"Let us defend ourselves." The adjutant replied.

"It's still fun!" Dracos snorted a few times and wore a purple crown helmet that symbolizes the status of the head of the army. He fastened his cheeks: "Let's go, let's see how powerful Syracuse is!"

The fourth and fifth legions of the Dionynia actually built two camps, the fourth legion on the west side and the fifth legion on the east side, with a ramp in the middle.

Therefore, the Syracuse-Llocky coalition forces divided the troops into two parts for the convenience of command. The Syracuse army led by Fassi Pissas attacked the east camp, and General Locki’s Diopantos led the army to attack the west camp. .

Due to the rush of time, the Syracuse did not build the siege tower, and even the ladder did not prepare much, but Dio Pantos still had the confidence to turn the temptation into a storm, in return for a few years ago he was in Croto The shame of being forced to retreat by the Dionya army without fighting inside.

The well-prepared Rocky 20,000 offensive troops slowly marched under the guidance of the rhythmic copper horn, until about 500 meters away from the Camp of Dionya, Dio Pantos raised his arm high and the number stopped. The army stopped moving and the array became rugged.

"Push the gun!" Dio Pantos ordered loudly. Yes, his shackles are the siege weapon brought by the Syracuse people.

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

The Dionysian Army was busy for a day yesterday. It only dug the trenches, built the barriers and wooden fences, and did not have time to dig traps outside the camp. Even the Luzhai was not arranged. The engineers and craftsmen of the engineering camp also Stepping up to build a whistle building.

When the first whistle was built, Felicius and Epiphanes immediately climbed up the whistle and looked out, just to see the Lockleys launching more than a dozen rifles from the team.

Epiphanis was not surprised at all, because in the camp below the tower, there were also ten rifles that were smaller than the Syracuse guns. He frowned slightly, pointed his finger at the front, and turned back to ask the young man who was with them on the whistle: "Courdorod, do you think our guns can destroy them?"

Courdorod is from the several colleges of the Dionysian Academy. According to the newly revised Dionyrian Military Law of the previous two years, each legion must be equipped with ten artillery pieces, while the sighting hands are There must be outstanding students from the Diavian Academy, because they can quickly calculate the appropriate landing point based on the parabolic equation to improve the accuracy of their launch.

Although Kurdorod has participated in military training many times, it is the first time on the battlefield. Looking at the enemies in the distance, he was a little nervous: "Too... too far, I am afraid... very difficult."

Felicius and his slap on his shoulders, comforting him and saying, "Let's relax, young people. It's normal to feel nervous when you first go to the battlefield. Don't worry, the enemy will come more, our heroic soldiers will Drive them away."

Courdorod nodded. He swallowed and looked at it again. Then he said with courage: "I... I suggest that the enemy be closer, and the power of our guns will be more powerful." ""

"It's the same as I thought!" Epiphanis praised and carefully looked at the handsome young man, his eyes sparkling with a strange light: "You are very good, young people."

Felicius saw it and coughed a few times.

At this time, the commander of the Fifth Corps rushed to the whistle downstairs: "Commander adults, the head of the Dracos army asked to wait for the enemy to enter the 200-meter distance before firing the guns, so as not to scare them away."

"200 meters?!" Epiphanis shrugged: "This Dracos is really greedy!"

"He is the same as we thought!" Felicius smiled.

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

As the captain's Aifei Alte and his teammates stood behind the barriers, they watched a huge stone bomb roaring from the enemy's front, squatting in front of the camp, making a loud noise and picking up a layer of dust and fog. It did not show much uneasiness, because in the usual military training, they did not know how many times they had practiced with the artillery units. They were quite familiar with this amazing long-range weapon, so despite the momentum caused by the enemy’s guns outside the camp. Amazing, the soldiers actually have a mood to laugh.

They asked Aifei Alte to go to the details of the Hera celebrations, and they were envious of the special occasions that their newlyweds enjoyed at the celebration. They all said that they must go to Turai to participate in the Hera celebration when they get married.

As the enemy array approaches, the blaster pushes forward and the impact point moves forward.

When the stone bombs descended from the sky and squatted in front of the camp and fell into the trenches, the corps of the corps came out with instructions: "Covering against the wall!"

Just as Aifei Alte took his teammates to rely on the base and fell, the voice of Courdorod came down from the tower: "250 meters!"

"No hurry, no hurry." Epiphanis clasped his chest with his hands, patted his shoulders, trying to suppress the feeling of excitement.

"Hey!" A stone bullet hit the wooden fence, and the broken sawdust fell on the heavily armed soldier without causing any harm.

"Call!" There were several stone bullets whistling, crossing the wooden fence, falling into the camp, smashing a few tents, but it sounded a few sorrows and a sneer.

Courdorod stared at the ground in front of the tower. Yesterday, while the soldiers stepped up to build the camp, the artillery team did not idle, and the ground outside the camp was marked and left with some marks. This mark may be a transplanted weed, a strange Rock, a slanted wooden stick...

"200 meters!" Courdorod exclaimed excitedly.

"It can be launched." Epiphanes waved.

"30 degree elevation, medium-sized stone, full of strings!" Courdorod quickly reported the data.

The captain of the artillery who had been listening to the ear ear immediately repeated the words of Courdorod. The soldiers quickly turned the pulleys pulled the bowstrings, hooked them with iron hooks, and placed about 6 kilograms of stone bombs. Into the slippery (after several years of further research and improvement of the cannon, Dionya's cannons are divided into two types, one is the siege gun, the size is large, the weight of the launched stone is more than 20 kg, The target of the attack is mainly the city wall, the building, etc. The other is the defensive gun. It is small in size, light in weight and accurate. Two or three people can pick up the weight of the stone. The weight of the stone is three to ten kilograms. Army, siege equipment).

Because it is not a battle, the enemy's formation is relatively loose, but the 20,000-strong team still looks dense, so the good opportunity in the first round of attacks must be seized. To this end, Culdorad first set the impact point of the rifle in the center of the enemy array.

"Launch!" The captain of the artillery forcefully swung his right arm.

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

Dio Pantos looked at a stone bomb and screamed into the camp of Dionia, and his heart felt a bit of fun.

At the very beginning of the army’s movement to the enemy camp within 500 meters, he was also worried about being attacked by the Dionysian stone squad, because he heard that most of the stoning soldiers of Dionia came from Rhode Island, and the flying stones were thrown far away. Also accurate. But when the troops marched 300 meters from the enemy camp, the Dionyns still did not respond, and he was completely relieved.
