v6 Chapter 223： The painful choice of Dionysius

Although Faxi Pesas was secretly relieved, his heart was still a little uneasy, but he did not show it. On the contrary, he remembered his own gaffe and said: "The Dionyns thought it too simple to cross the sea. Unless they can send tens of thousands of soldiers and supply sufficient rations, they can create some trouble for our homes, but it is obviously impossible to achieve the strength of Dionynia."

"You are right!" Dionysius loudly agreed, and then there was a hint of anxiety: "But... Phillips said in the letter, Gera, Cammanina, Agrigen ... These city-states on the south coast of Sicily have shirked his demands and are unwilling to provide soldiers and warships. He also complained that Hercules repeatedly confronted him during this time, affecting his management of the city-state. He could not Timely provide us with reinforcements and fleets, so --"

Dionysius said in a deep voice: "I have decided to take the boat back to Syracuse in person and take the reinforcements to Greece as soon as possible after repeated thoughts!"

"Adult, are you leaving here?!" Faxi Pesas changed color again: "What about the soldiers here?!"

"Apollo is on, bless me to bring rescuers back to save you within ten days!" Dionysius said solemnly: "And within ten days, you will be in charge of this army! Dionys The attention of the Asians is on Medma and Locke. They don’t have enough troops, and they don’t risk the huge casualties to take the initiative to attack the Siri court that our tens of thousands of people defend. Our military food is enough to maintain this. Long time... Faxi Pesas, you are my most trusted general! It is also the most trusted general of the soldiers! Only you can bear this burden! Waiting for me to come with the reinforcements, we will return smoothly. Syracuse!"

"Adults..." Fasisas, who is accustomed to obeying Dionysius's orders, has a lot of thoughts in his heart, but the word "reject" means no.

"I will let other generals obey your orders, including my brother. If anyone disobeys your command during the time I have not returned, you can dispose of it according to the military law!" Dionysius did not allow him to divide Said, forcibly handed over the rights of this unit to him.

Faxi Pesas had to reluctantly accept the appointment and wished Dionysius to return to Syracuse safely.

Next, Dionysius again found several generals to talk, asking them to actively cooperate with Faxi Pesas, control the troops, and keep the Xi Liting.

In a secret conversation with the intelligence leader Andros Tini, Dionysius gave him a secret letter to let him monitor Faxi Pesas and other generals. Once he found that Faxi Pesas was acting abnormally, he immediately Contact the port of Le Putinies, read the letter in front of the public, and take Faxi Pesas.

Finally he called Fibidas.

"I heard that Syracuse had suffered heavy casualties this time. It seems that even without my intervention, you have not defeated the Diaonians!" Feidas sneered as soon as he entered the house. Today, he is a idler. Not only did he have no chance to take the troops, but even this attack on the Diagonal camp, Dionysius did not discuss with him, and Pfeidas became a bystander, so He expressed his dissatisfaction without any scruples.

Dionysius understands the character of this Spartan. Although he is somewhat unhappy, he still said straightforwardly: "Daves sent thousands of soldiers to land in Sicily and captured a town. I must immediately return to the boat by boat. La Cuzza, I hope you can go with me!"

"Daves actually dared to split up again to attack Syracuse at this time?!" Fibidas and Dionysius were as shocked as before, but quickly turned into an admirable look: "His courage also too big!……"

After a sigh, Pybidas squinted Dionysius: "You are going to throw your soldiers and fleeing from Greece alone?"

Dionysius did not answer his words directly, but said with a little concern: "Daves may not send thousands of people to attack Sicily, it will only go to death, Syracuse and the Allies may have Unstable, I need your support!" As a lord who can regard power as the sword of Damocles, he has political intuition and hopes to be prepared for the rain.

The look of Fibidas became serious. He understood that the "your support" that Dionysius said was actually the support of Sparta. A few years ago, when the Carthaginians were under the city, the Syracuse people had to force Dionysius to step down. Pfeidas had once made the concession of the Syracuse people as the Spartan messenger. Let Dionysius regain power.

Is there a riot in Syracuse? Fibidas looked at Dionysius and turned to think: the Syracuse navy was defeated, Crotone was defeated, and the attack on the Diaon camp was fiasco. The failure of Dionysius was more than the last time. It is much heavier, and the people of Syracuse really have the potential to express their anger against Dionysius...

Although Pfeidas has some gloating, he knows that once Dionysius is overthrown, not only Sparta’s efforts to support Syracuse over the years have been in vain, but the Syracuse riot will inevitably lead to its power being Greatly weakened, so that the hegemony of Sicily has a vacuum. Whether it is the expansion of Dionya or Carthage, Sparta hopes to see it, so Sparta can only support Dionysius.

Feibidas dissatisfied and looked at Dionysius again: this embarrassing guy is probably looking at this point, and he asked him unscrupulously!

Thinking of this, Fibidas no longer groaned and asked directly: "Is it safe to go back by boat? There is a warship blockade outside of the port."

“Felistos sent the best helmsman and sailor in my caravan, and they easily drove the Clippers into the port,” Dionysius replied.

"when are we leaving?"

"tonight."

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

Not long after the last siege tower collapsed in front of the Medma wall, the Dionyns blew the retreat.

Looking at the enemies that have receded in the tide, the Medma who struggled for a long time cheered for their survival.

Hilos, who commanded the battle in the distance, did not have much frustration. His serious opponent said: "Go back and tell the engineers that the wheels of the siege tower are too inflexible, it is very difficult to push, and the tower is not too Strong... I hope they will improve as soon as possible!"

"Yes, general."

"And... our soldiers are unfamiliar with these new siege devices, and the cooperation between them is somewhat unfamiliar. I hope that the training will be strengthened in the future!" Hieronymus also put forward his own opinions. .

"You are right, just do it." Hilos listened carefully to his opinion, and then hoped to say: "I hope that after the improvement, the next time I attack the city, the Medma will not laugh. ""

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

After the attack and defense of the Siriting camp, although Dionya won a big victory, he also killed more than 500 people and injured 2,700 people. Therefore, after Daves arranged the perfect tasks for the various army leaders, he was cremated with the soldiers. The deceased, and then went to condolences to the injured, has been busy until the evening to return to the big account, but saw that Tolmide is standing in front of the big account.

“Is there any news?” Daves asked.

Tommede was about to talk, and suddenly a strong southerly wind was blown up. It suddenly blew into the mouth and nose of the people, and several people rushed into the big account.

"Hey! Hey!..." Henipolis smacked the black ash in his mouth and smacked it, then shouted: "The **** Syracuse can't win us, it will only burn us. The camp is coming out!"

Only Zuoying, which is separated from Luzhai by the ditch, was burnt to ashes. Now, some places can still see black smoke. The wind that has just rolled up the dust of the sky has caused the Chinese military camp to suffer. This is Herni. The reason that Polis complained.

"With an empty camp for the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers in Syracuse, I think we earned." Tolmid smiled.

"It’s a pity that the soldiers will be squeezing to sleep tonight." Henipolis also laughed.

"There is enough open space in the right camp, but it is a lack of tents."

"The tents are not missing. Don't forget that we also occupied the big camp in Syracuse in Crotone, and we have enough tents to be shipped. We just need to bring them tomorrow."

......

When you chatted with me and I talked, Davers had cleaned up the dust on his body and asked again: "Tormid, what happened?"

"Midadodes sent people to report that in the afternoon there was a Clippers coming from the south into the port of West Riding."

"So many warships can't stop a Clipper?!" Henipolis dissatisfied and said Deverus and Tolmide did not answer.

Davers is very clear: the Clippers are small and flexible. If there are windy conditions, experienced helmsmen and sailors can play the three-layer paddles in the applause, so the fleet is usually served by the Clippers. Scouting and delivering messages.

Henipolis didn't know the navy, but Davis didn't explain it to him. Instead, he hoped that the words of Henipolis would be able to beat and beat the navy officers who were recently complacent because of winning again and again.

After a moment of silence, he asked: "Why do you think this Clipper broke into the West Riding Harbor?"

"It must be to tell Dionysius that our first legion has landed in Sicily." Henipolis replied first.

The news that "The First Army occupied Meyalo" was returned to the camp a day ago. Daphst intended to convey this good news to the heads of the various military and senior team officers, so that their confidence increased greatly. There was no complaint about the continued siege of the West Chamber, so it was not surprising that Davers had answered Hennipolis so quickly. Look at the expression of Tolmide, obviously he thinks so.
