After the Achillesta and Gabba listened, they were very excited. This is what they are best at and most want to do.
Phibidas was silent, and in his heart he did not fully agree with Dionysius's plan, but he suddenly realized that Sparta might really learn how to attack the city like Syracuse.
At this time, Dionysius said with a negative test: "Before we attack Crotone, let's see how Asprostum responds to the next thing..."
....................................
In the city of Asprostum, Felicius is comforting more than 500 legions of soldiers who have been replaced by more than 500 Lockley prisoners in Dionia. There is a lot of regret in his heart, because he did not change back to the head of the Fifth Army, the Dionia Senate, the eldest of the Dionis, and even Dionysius, the first brigade commander of the Fifth Army, Bixi Briam, the important leader of the country and the veteran of the Senate, did not release it, but insisted on the one-to-one exchange of prisoners.
Felicius noticed that the soldiers who were replaced were all Brutiers of the Fifth Army. Because the Fifth Army was at the end of the retreat, the Fifth Corps was the most captured, but he did not think about it.
In fact, Dionysius deliberately released these Brutiers, and in the face of other Greek soldiers and Lucania soldiers who were captured by Dionia, they released the Bruty and even his kindly. It was also prepared to quietly release some of the soldiers of the Dionyrian Army who had been observed by intelligence personnel and found resentful.
Felicius re-integrated the more than 500 soldiers into the Fifth Army. Although there were regrets in his heart, he was also relieved, because half of the soldiers who returned were Bisinians, and Bisini was cloth. The most determined reliance on the alliance of the Brutier tribes in the Ruti area, from the integration of Bruce to the Alliance, it has never been riots, and some of the anti-tribal bills that the Senate has set for the Britti area. There is no objection, and Filipinos has a good relationship with Barquili, so the Besinans can come back more, and he feels better.
At this time, the commander rushed to the scene: "The commander, the head of the Epiphanis army, asks you to go to the city immediately. What the Syracuse people are doing outside the city makes him unable to be the master. You can only do it. Decide."
After listening to Felicius, I was shocked.
.......................................
Dracos woke up from a nightmare.
Since he led the first brigade to intercept the enemy's cavalry and was surrounded by heavy envoys, he led the team to fight and died. The enemy's javelin was finally pierced through the lungs and captured. Although through the treatment of Dr. Syracuse, there has been a high fever, sometimes coma, and sometimes awake.
At this moment, he tried to open his dry and heavy eyelids, and he heard a scream of screams. However, some people screamed with sorrow and anger: "Don't come over! Don't come over! Asinu is on, asking you to bless them... ..."
what happened? Dracos tried to open his eyes and the image of the illusory eyes gradually became clear. He found himself lying on the ground mixed with stones and mud. There was a city a hundred meters ahead. He was familiar with the city. Asprostum.
How can you be here? His brain was groggy and he couldn’t remember it. He wanted to stand up, but found that his hands and feet were tied behind the ropes and could not be used.
He struggled a few times and had no effect. Instead, the pain from the wound made him almost faint again.
Apparently, the person next to him saw his movements and said with surprise: "Head of the Dracos! De Lacoste, are you awake?!"
"You...who are you? This...what is going on?..." Dracos asked with dry lips and a weak voice.
"Reporting Army leader, I am the third corps of the Fourth Army, the fourth detachment, the first squad leader Eturu. The Syracuse people took dozens of soldiers captured by our Fourth Army and you In front of the city of Asprostum, I tied everyone's hands and feet, and laid wooden stakes next to each person, tied the tied ropes, and sent people to the city to scream and tell them, ' You and the Fourth Army’s captive soldiers are here. 'Then, the Syracuse’s army has retreated a hundred meters, but when the comrades in the city rushed out... When they rushed out to save us, these **** Syracuses The people will be... and they will shoot them with javelins and bows..." Here, Eturu is crying.
He cried, and other tied soldiers were also saddened.
what? ! When Dracos heard it, he suddenly became anxious. He endured severe pain and supported the body with his shoulders. Excessive force made his eyes black and his head dizzy. He gasped and tried to control the crumbling body... After a while, he finally stumbled on the ground.
When he opened his eyes again, there were more than a dozen bodies with arrows and javelins on his body. The nearest deceased was only one meter away from him. Looking at the dead face, Draco recognized him: Haakke, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion, the young Brutti from the small tribe of Cosenza, stubborn and stubborn. When he first entered the Fifth Army, he repeatedly violated the military regulations and was repeatedly punished by Dracos, who was strict in requirements. He repeatedly refused to accept it. On one occasion, it was collided with Dracos on the training ground. In the end, Dracos and his bet wrestled and won him cleanly. Haha should overcome the temper, and since then he has been training hard and performing well. Dracos eventually promoted him as the captain. He did not expect to die here... and died for him!
An angry rush came to my heart, and the crying of the soldier next to him made him more annoyed, screaming: "Cry and cry! What are the fears of death, we will meet in the spirits!"
....................................
Felicius looked at the row of people who were tied to the ground in the city. He didn't think he would go to the city to see such a scene: "You... you know that those people are Dracos and captives." Soldier?"
The usual character, the arrogant Epiphanes, also frowned at the moment, the voice was heavy: "Before I came up, the soldiers... have already confirmed with life! I have now forbidden the soldiers to go out of town privately, but there Not only Dracos, but also the soldiers of the Fourth Army. You look at the people under my command, they want to save their teammates, neighbors, and possibly relatives...so they all want to send the fourth and the first The Five Legion, so that even if the enemy is forced to come up, they can resist and successfully rescue Dracos and other soldiers."
Felicius looked at the next hundred roads that stretched out to the captive prisoners, and the squadron of the Syracuse army, which appeared to be resting 100 meters away.
He looked back at the soldiers of the Fourth Army stationed in the city. They had anger and anxiety on their faces.
The eyes of Felicius finally fell on Epiphanis: "What is your opinion?"
"I think I can give it a try." Epiphanes hesitated, then thought and said: "Syracuse people do this, they want us to save. So when we leave the city, the Syracuse people probably don't Will immediately block forward, we have time to set the battle, and then slowly approaching Dracos, while blocking their offense, while saving Dracos... Although the Syracuse is more than us, but here is the terrain Narrow, the cliff is on the left and the mountain on the right. They can't open their troops any more, and they can't cover our back road. We...we should be able to safely return to the city."
Filipius was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Since you all know that the Syracuse people want us to go out for help, you still insist on taking the soldiers out of the city. You can really let us safely return because the Syracuse people. "Firisius showed a painful expression, and said with hate: "A few days ago, because everyone was lucky enough to think that they could defeat the Syracuse, and I didn't insist... the result! We failed. The coalition was defeated, and we lost more than 3,000 soldiers, which made the situation in the whole of Greece so bad! This lesson has not attracted our attention! Dionysius is not so easy to deal with ~www.novelhall .com~ Since he has designed this scene under the city, he definitely has a plan to deal with our rescue from the city. For the safety of Asprostum City, the security of the alliance is even more... We can't leave the city!"
Felicius rarely yelled at people like this now, this is his venting of emotional depression during this time, so Epiphanis is also a bit stunned, his face is gloomy: "Don't we watch Dracos and the soldiers were humiliated and not rescued! Don't forget, Daphus, when he was in Persia, said, 'The team he leads is like a family, never give up any one. people!'"
Epiphanis’s words whipped the heart of Filipino’s guilt. He pressed the stone in the hands of the city, and the rough gravel stabbed his palm... although he had a relationship with Dracos. But as the veteran of the Senate, the army chief of the army, and the comrades-in-arms of many years, he was so bullied by the enemy. He did not want to rescue Dracos and the soldiers, but as the highest military chief of the southern line of Diaonia, he was also a heavy responsibility. In such a critical situation, the first thing he should consider is the security of the alliance. He has failed before, he can't allow himself to make mistakes again, or if there is a mistake in the city of Asprostum, the Syracuse can drive straight in, he can become a sinner of the Alliance!
"Strictly defend the city, no one is allowed to leave the city, this is the order!" Filipius said firmly: "All consequences are borne by me!"
