v6 Chapter 170： Cross the river

The heads of the army were somewhat unable to bear the tragic experience of Crotone, but Davers knew that he must not let the Syracuse take the initiative and rush to cross the Nato River, just in the middle of Dionysius. The calculation of Sis. More importantly, time, as Antonios said, it took time for Hilos to take off Luos and lead the army to Syracuse, so he needs to drag the time and drag it to Hilos. The army successfully attacked Trina, and by that time Denia should master the initiative of the war!

However, the wonderful idea of ​​Davers is not so easy to achieve. The Syracuse people have been launching rockets at the Crotone inner city, and the Crotone people are constantly fighting for fire, sending messengers to the Dionysian military camp again and again.

After many times, Daves ruthlessly refused, some of the messengers burst into tears before the big account: "I beg you to save the people of Crotone! Our water is running out, everyone is starting to drink urine." But what about the children?! My child is only two years old! I would rather use my life in exchange for him to continue to live, and beg you to save us!..."

Some of the messengers yelled: "Daves, everyone said that you are a great Greek victorious singer, I see you are a coward! Devonians, your heart is made of iron?! Seeing allies in a few miles are struggling in the fire, and are not willing to lend a helping hand!

"I am! What Dionyans have always kept their promises, it is a lie! You liars, tens of thousands of people in Crotone, even if they are smoked and burned, will curse you in hell. !"

......

Everyone who heard them crying and roaring shyly bowed their heads, and even the heads of the army, such as Filipius and Antonios, asked Deavers several times. I can imagine Daves’s heart. The pressure is great. He sat alone in the big account, clasping the wooden chair armrests with both hands, although he kept saying nothing, but his heart was gradually loosening. After all, it’s time to watch tens of thousands of living lives burned to death because of his relationship. How can Daves be indifferent!

Fortunately, time has entered the evening, considering that the Dionysian army could not cross the river at night, so the Syracuse also stopped attacking the Crotone inner acropolis.

This night, Daves didn't sleep well. He knew that although he had escaped today, tomorrow's fierce and sinister Dionysius would continue to force him to play in this way. What should he do? ... What happened to the situation at Hilos? There has been no news for so long. Although the road has been repaired, it is still slow to pass the message through the mountains!

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

Lucias and Milon are even more relaxed, not only to help the injured people, to appease them, but also to consider the growing shortage of water.

If it wasn’t for the military’s Milon’s persuasion, the “ruthlessness” of the Dionyrians and Daves, Lucias had long since slammed, and even he was thinking: If...can’t hold on, Just like the Syracuse people... surrender...

In the Syracuse barracks, Dionysius was upset, and Daves's patience made him shake: Did the Dionians prefer to watch the death of their allies, and would not lend a helping hand? ! ... Perhaps, Davers is really afraid to conduct a positive land battle with us. If we continue to do this, it will be unfavorable to us in Syracuse. Can we really only retreat...

This night, Dionysius couldn't sleep until he heard the big account and heard the buzz.

When the intelligence officer Adrostini broke into the big account, he just turned over from the bed and sat up: "What happened?! How did you guard this captain! Let people come in at random!"

He yelled at the **** captain who followed him, but let the next Anders Rothney listen to the frightened war. He hurriedly pleaded guilty and shivered and said: "Big... adults... emergency information from Trina, The Dionyns captured Raos!"

"What?! The Dionians captured Raos so quickly! Is this news true?!" Dionysius turned his face and asked.

"It is the risk that a sneak ambush in Raos is risking being chased by the Dionys. Trina, who sneaked a boat, should be sure! It is reported that the Dionyns are inciting The civilian riots in the poor people of Ruos, after attacking inside and outside, broke the city of Laos." Andros Tini has stabilized the mood at this moment and explained it earnestly.

"So the Deonians of Laos will soon go south?!" Dionysius muttered anxiously.

"Adult, maybe... maybe we should retreat..." Andros Tini whispered with courage.

"Retreat?!" Dionysius squinted at him, and the twinkling light in his eyes made Andros Tini scared to fall again.

Dionysius stared at him, and gradually had a strange smile on his face: "You said it is good, we really should retreat!"

After that, he turned and gave orders to the **** captain: "Immediately inform Faxi Pesas, Asta Grass, Axi Rita, Phibidas... and so on."

Andros Tini sighed and sat down on the ground, only to find that the back had been wet by cold sweat.

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

The next morning, the Croton Plains were shrouded in light fog, making the already warm seaside area a bit chilly.

Daves got up early and had breakfast. As usual, bread, wheat porridge, and beef jerky were no different from ordinary soldiers. They just had a sea fish. The sailors of the Dionia fleet stationed at the mouth of the Neto River came idle yesterday. Nothing to catch the fish, sent a lot to Daves, and he was mostly transferred to the **** to share.

Although the breakfast was good, Davers did not have much appetite.

At this moment, Martius accompanied Izzam into the big account.

"Your Majesty, my men brought good news! The enemy is dismantling the camp and starting to retreat!"

Davers was a little surprised to hear the news from Izam.

"My men sneaked into the enemy camp and heard the Syracuse people whispering in a panic, saying that 'Trina was attacked by our Dionysian army'..." Izam excited further Description.

"Is the adult Hilos already captured Raos? Why didn't we receive a return?" Maltius was puzzled by the news, so he inserted a sentence.

"To cross the mountains in the west, to get here and take a boat to Kna Petia, and then to Trina, the time spent is of course different." Izam explained to him, and then he said excitedly. : "Your Majesty, we -"

Izam’s excitement was not finished yet, and Martius also shouted with excitement: “Your Majesty!”

Looking at the eagerness in their eyes, Davers knew what they wanted to say. Even the defensive captain Martius, who is usually silent and cautious, is still the case, not to mention other soldiers. The military and morale are so strong. Davers sighed and said loudly: "Martiou Sri Lanka, you are going to call Tolmide, let him inform all the heads of the army, um... and Midolades is coming to a big account to hold a military conference!"

"Yes!"

"Izam, command your soldiers to continue to monitor the enemy's movements and confirm that the enemy has completely retreated after crossing the Tacina Di River and immediately report to me!"

"Yes!"

The two men vigorously finished the military ceremony, and the legs were generally quick to leave.

After the order was issued, Daves himself was relieved and relaxed. He turned and sat down, grabbed the bread and took a bite, and now he feels a little hungry.

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

"Midorades."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Combining all the engineering battalions of the Legion, and temporarily returning to you, immediately set up four pontoons on the Nato River. All the required vessels must be provided by you. You must meet the requirements of the engineering battalion as soon as possible, and there must be no shirking! ”

"understand!"

"In addition, in the lower reaches of the Nato River, you will lead all the warships to cross the river by the previously specified Legionnaires. After crossing the river, you will lead the fleet around the coast between Crotone and the West Chamber. Monitor the movement of the Syracuse army, and the specific measures are left to your discretion."

"Yes!"

"Ledes!"

"in!"

"Your cavalry regiment is going to cross the river for the first time. I want you to withdraw them all. I will detect the enemy's retreat from the south and report back at any time. However, I must not fight with the enemy, especially when I encounter the cavalry. !"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ledes was a bit frustrated. He knew that Daves was not at ease with the cavalry's fighting power. Although he was not reconciled, he had to admit that the alien cavalry was indeed stronger than his own. He was secret. Pinch the fist.

"You heads and army commanders, you all come over, and then look at the location where your army and troops will cross the river, for final confirmation! I ask you to organize your soldiers and spend the fastest time to spend the Neto River. And then quickly reorganize the formation, can you do it?!"

"Can!" The heads of the army replied in unison, and then squeezed in front of the map to see the mark that Daves made on the Nato River.

"Your Majesty How do you make these arrangements as if you want to fight, not like the enemy who wants to chase after retreat?!" Amintas looked at him and couldn't help but ask.

Not only him, but other military leaders have similar doubts: all the regiments lined up along the river and crossed the river at the same time. After crossing the river, they quickly formed their respective columns, and each leg of the regiment seemed to have special considerations. Also, the cavalry is not sent out to pursue, but only to investigate...

Davers looked at them with deep gaze, and said: "The pursuit of the enemy does not require anxious, as long as the Syracuse retreats, we follow the enemy, and such a huge army will always have chaos. And I am worried. It is the enemy who retreats and then returns. I know that the commander of the Syracuse army, Diorinius, is a deceitful person. I would rather be cautious and never venture, especially now that we have mastered the whole war. !"

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

As soon as noon, the fog has dissipated as the sun continues to shine.

Through the collaboration of the engineering battalion and the Legionnaires, four pontoons have been set up in the middle reaches of the Nato River. In the downstream, hundreds of large and small warships are docked at the north bank.
