v6 Chapter 209： Syracuse coalition came

As a result, Hilos slowed down the siege again, slashing trees and making siege equipment.

For the Onyrians who are about to begin their attack on Medma, the Lockleys who are confronting the Cologne army want to rescue, but they are powerless.

What worries them even more is that once the Daonians captured Medma and the Daley coalition rushed out from the west to the east, the situation in Lockley would become very dangerous!

Therefore, Locke sent five 50-pound Clippers, risking a huge risk, paying two heavy sinks and two captives, and smashing the blockade of the Dionia fleet into the West Riding Port.

Dionysius knows this: In recent days, not only did he use the peace talks to delay the time, but Daphus also did not idle. He not only forced Cullenia, but also dared to defeat the enemy while defeating himself. Locke Lee’s army took Trina and Hiberian, and even Medma was in jeopardy, completely separating Selitin and Lockheed. This shows that Daves is afraid that there is no truth in peace talks!

This discovery made Dionysius feel distressed: apparently the young consul is not politically naive as young, but as insidious as his military command, while he is paralyzing himself, he is swallowing Thira quickly. Kuzza’s alliance forces in Greater Greece, I hope to finally annihilate his army here!

Knowing the real intention of Davers, Dionysius will sit still and wait, no matter when the reinforcements can arrive, he must be prepared.

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

On the second day, Antonios saw the dispatch of the Daves intelligence department in Sicily's head, Antrapolis, who brought the advice of Antrapolis: I hope Antonios can take Meiya. Luo is a bait, tempting Syracuse and his allies to attack, in order to cause the emptiness of the internal defense forces of the city-states such as Kataney, Leotini, and Syracuse, as opponents of Dionysius. They created conditions for riots.

After a brief understanding of the layout of several major city-states in central and eastern Sicily by Antrapolis, and in order to reduce the obstacles of future attacks, Antonios expressed his agreement after thinking.

While waiting for the enemy to attack, he released the old people, women and children of Sikuli who had been imprisoned on the one hand, in order to reduce the consumption of food, and on the other hand, to bring these people to the Sikuli people: Diony The Asians came to Sicily just to avenge the Syracuse who invaded the Great Greece. They did not intend to encroach on the territory of any city-state, nor did they intend to be enemies with other city-states. They were willing to overthrow the tyranny of Dionysius with the city-states of Sicily. rule.

Antonios also sent a brave Naxos to the north of Tauromenian and conveyed the same meaning to them. However, the messengers sent did not see the return, which shows that these Campania mercenaries were malicious against Dionia, but these mercenaries did not rush out of the city to attack the east along the Alcatara Valley. The crowd of exiles.

These exiles are entering Meyaro for a long time and have been warmly welcomed by the soldiers of the First Army in the town. The available corps of Antonios gradually became more abundant. He asked La Odesian and Lacy Peratos to resettle the newcomers, and at the same time, the young and strong, and the leather shield and the stab gun. Less than two days later, he had nearly two thousand ready soldiers available.

This afternoon, just as Antonios was delighted with the strength of his army, he received a return from the detective: there was a flag that held up the "three-legged pattern" and the army with a large number of soldiers was entering Sikuri.

Antonios knew that the army of Syracuse came.

Soon, his small detectives were driven by the Syracuse cavalry and had to return to the north bank of the Alcantara River. On the south bank, several generals wearing colored crown helmets were under the protection of the guards. , pointing to the direction of Meyaro, waiting for a while before leaving.

Antonios knows that the arrival of the war is also the two days of the event. Even today, because of the lateness of the time, the Syracuse people will not be able to attack. There will be a fierce battle in the town of Meyaro tomorrow!

He suppressed the tension in his heart and carefully thought about the deployment he had made in the past two days in order to find out whether there was any negligence or omission...

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

The next day, the weather was fine and there was no wind, which was suitable for combat. For Antonios, this is not good news. He hopes that it will be heavy rain, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty for the Syracuse to attack Meyaro, especially the soaring Alcantara River will make Syracuse People who have crossed the river have a headache.

In the morning, the sentinel on the outpost was able to see the dust on the south.

But the first thing that discovered the enemy was the port, and the fleet of Syracuse appeared on the sea.

Antonios who got the news did not show any abnormal emotions, but he knew in his heart that the Syracuse people marched in and out of the sea, apparently to cut off the retreat of the First Legion, and to sever the support of the First Legion, to be surrounded and annihilated.

Therefore, he hurriedly asked: "How many three-layer paddles are there?!"

"The exact number is not clear and it looks less than our fleet!" the sentry of the port lighthouse replied. The fleet at sea is not like the troops on land. It can occupy a sea area more than a dozen miles while sailing. It is not only able to be explored by relying on the fixed observation tower on the shore.

Of course, Antonios also had some understanding of this. He couldn’t keep up with the battle at sea, and he could only rely on Secorian.

"Let the people and patrols of the port immediately withdraw to the town!" Antonios immediately issued an order. The port is not in the town of Meyaro, and there is no wall protection. In the case of the army, there is no need to waste limited manpower to protect a port that is impossible to defend. He must concentrate on the upcoming land attack. Even if the Syracuse fleet was to land on the coast near the port and burned to the port of his first legion transfer, he couldn’t take care of it at the moment...

But the Syracuse fleet did not land in the port, nor did it burn the port, because the Sicilian merchant ships that had traveled to this route for the past two days had already informed Syracuse of the situation: every morning the fleet of Dionia will be from Lijim. Departure, arrived at the port of Mayalo, patrolled until the afternoon, before returning to Lijim, so unless the naval command of Syracuse is a fool, then at this time landing at the port, the warships moored at the dock will become the next to wear The Ionian fleet practiced the target of the impact.

The commander of this Syracuse fleet is called Paronisus. He was a nobleman of Syracuse. He was also one of the friends who supported Heronius with one of the best friends in the ship. There were quite a few talents in the command, so when the Navy, led by Le Putinies, defeated Carthage, the Syracuse people had called for him to become the new naval commander.

However, when Dionysius invaded the Great Greece, he still appointed his younger brother to serve as the naval commander. This made Paronis dissatisfied. He thought: This is Dionysius's help to save his brother. Reputation, everyone knows that the fleet of Dionya is weak, and victory is a breeze.

Who knows, the news of the fierce defeat of the Syracuse Navy again and again, Palonissos also sighed with anger. This time in order to eliminate the landing of the Diaonians, taking into account the civilians in the Gulf, the free people's resentment against the city-state, Philipst chose to use Palonesius as the naval commander, just want to use him in the water The prestige in the hands made the attack on the sea smoother, and Palonesius wanted to prove to Dionysius that his choice was wrong with a big victory.

At this time, the ships of Syracuse were parked on the sea outside the port, and the ship headed north, waiting for the arrival of the Danonian fleet.

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

The Dionysian fleet is heading south along the east coast of Sicily.

Day after day, the task of escorting the Lijim fleet and patrolling the sea near Meyaro has made Sakelyan feel bored, watching Dionya’s land forces attack the enemy of Greece and attack the city. The result was brilliant, and the navy, which first laid the foundation for the victory of the Dionysian League, could only help the army to serve as an escorting task for escorts and patrols. Sekleian felt very helpless. If it was not because of this expedition that Sicily was a big deal, he would rather stay. In Lijim, let the subordinates do this boring task for him.

Just as he sat on the deck, wondering if this time the **** was completed, or if he would continue to explore the big port of Syracuse with the fleet. The lookout on the mast suddenly rises high. Shouting: "There are fleets in front! A lot of warships!"

Seklely heard it and immediately got up: the fleet that can appear in this sea area can only be Syracuse!

He finally got excited: "The fleet of Syracuse came to attack, blowing the attacking army, we greeted it!"

At this time, the captain of the ship said with some concern: "General, Syracuse is prepared, the ship is probably more than us, and there is no 'crow' on our ship, you see... is it? Temporarily first -"

"Shut up!" Seklely yelled and despised him, an angry and indisputable look, scolding: "How come I didn't find you a coward! I don't dare to engage in naval battles without a crow suspension bridge!! Is it a brave sailor! Just go to the heavy infantry!

A few decades ago, the weak Athens Navy defeated the Persians, and the Spartan Navy, which lacks experience, can defeat the Athenians. Today, I can do the same with the infantry, defeating the Syracuse with the most orthodox naval battles! ”

Seklely looked forward in arrogance, and the captain bowed his head in shame.
