v6 Chapter 240： Rescue

Dionysius left two hundred people to station, and immediately led more than 1,800 mercenaries to attack the military camp under the city. Most of the civic soldiers in the military camp were not far from the main city because they were not in the main city. They did not stay overnight in the military camp. After hearing the news of the "enemy attack", he hurriedly wore armor to meet the enemy. As a result, the fierce mercenaries easily broke into the camp, and the citizens soldiers collapsed.

Dionysius did not stop the attack, he led the army to quickly advance to the center of the main city.

The spies of Hipparinus screamed in the night and shouted in the main city: "The Dionysius led the army back! Dionysius led the army back!! The surrender is not guilty !! Grab the leader of the rebel army!!..."

In the main city of Syracuse under the dim sky, the residents were awakened by the screams of screams and harsh screams on the streets, and they heard the shouts of the agents, and they were shocked: "Dionysius is back. "This sentence immediately made them feel fearful."

When the residents of the main city were in a mess, last night, because of the busy city-state affairs and not going home, the Hollis, who was sleeping directly in the town hall, was woken up by the confidant slaves and learned the news of the enemy’s killing. It is.

He calmed down the panic and decided to go out and organize citizens to defend against the enemy's attack.

At this time, Stacycos, Kuzias, Falecus and other generals came in: "Herolis is going! Go fast! The enemy will soon be killed! Our army has broken, it can not stop !......"

For a time, Hololis had a blank in his brain, and he whispered weakly: "Walk... Where can we go?..."

"Go to the Epipley Heights! There, there are more than 2,000 soldiers stationed in the North City, the port area outside the city and the slums of the Taistis... After the dawn clears the situation in the city, we will take it again. come back!"

The words of Kuzias reminded Hercules and his group that they had no time to pack their bags, inform their families, and rushed to the Epipley Heights in the northwest of the city.

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

After a night of killing and chaos, the main city of Syracuse finally recovered its order.

Dionysius’s military adventure was successful, but he was uneasy when he did not catch a rebel insurer such as Herolis. He sent out to arrest their troops, and was also defeated by the North City defenders led by Kuzias.

And Helllis also learned that Dionysius was indeed back, but the army he led the attacking city was recognized by the people, even the two thousand mercenaries on the island of Ortigia, It is obvious that he did not withdraw the army from Greater Greece, so they immediately sought help from the port area.

Dionysius had already learned from the mouth of Hipparinus that the rebels in the city and the poor people in the port had contradicted each other. So early in the morning he sent messengers to the port to tell Tessitis and other poor leaders: The people at the port stood on the side of Dionysius, he forgives the mistakes they made in the riots, and after the riots are settled, each port slum will be allocated 10 acres of land in the suburbs...

At the same time, he also allowed Hipparinus to send secret agents to preach in the port area "he talked with the poor people in the port area and reached an agreement."

In fact, negotiations with the poor people in the port area did not make immediate progress, but it caused a split in the port area.

The person headed by Tessitis believes that Dionysius is not credible and should stand with Herrose and completely defeat Dionysius to ensure their safety and the benefits they will receive!

Others believe that Dionysius gave better conditions because the area he promised was twice that of Herolis, and it was the land of the suburbs, apparently Dionysius. Pay more attention to them!

The two sides are arguing and cannot reach an agreement. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to provide Herriots with reinforcements.

Dionysius also issued a ban: prohibiting any city residents from going out during the day or night, only to stay at home! If you need to buy food, you can only send a slave to go, and you must get approval from the patrol team, otherwise you can kill it!

The ban on Dionysius reduces the danger of people gathering and messing up.

He also asked the mercenaries to take the slaves from the excavation of the Akradina area to the main city square, and then told them: as long as they are willing to fight for him, and when the riots are settled, they will be free! Those who perform well can also become Syracuse citizens! ......

Dionysius’s bold promise made the stone mine slaves see hope. Even though the lord violently dictatorship, these slaves at the bottom are not felt. Instead, they know that Dionysius is decisive and bold. In the year, too many mercenaries and displaced people have become Syracuse citizens, and they have also acquired land. So they chose to believe in Dionysius's words, and they picked up the shield spears that he had searched from the people's homes, which suddenly increased the team of Dionysius from the original 1,800 mercenaries to more than 7,000. .

Dionysius also sent people to the army of Heralis to spread the new order he issued in the name of the plenipotentiary general: any citizen who was previously deceived by traitors such as Herolis immediately left his team and returned to his home. He will be excused from his guilt! Citizens who remain in the rebel camp before noon will be considered traitors and their families will be executed immediately!

Many of the civic soldiers in the main city were frightened after learning that they fled the team and ran back to the main city.

After all these measures came into effect, the proud Dionysius sent messengers to Herolis to send him the head of his wife and son.

Then he left Megui Collis to lead 500 mercenaries and 500 slave soldiers to guard the main city, and he led 1,300 mercenaries and more than 4,500 slave soldiers to advance to the rebel position, he wants to completely eliminate them.

The grief-stricken Herolus and Stacycos, Kuzias, knew that the situation was urgent and decided to fight with Dionysius. Leading only a thousand of the remaining soldiers to retreat to the gates of the city of Herxa, which is backed by the northern wall of Siracusa.

In the first riot ten years ago (ie 405 BC), Dionysius led the mercenaries to occupy the main city, which basically settled the riots in the city of Syracuse. But in this decade, under his rule, the urban area of ​​Syracuse has expanded several times, and the entire Epiporo Heights has been included in the city of Syracuse, making the team of Dionysius spend It took more than an hour of precious time to get to Hercea Gate.

It was already in the afternoon, when Herrose asked to talk to Dionysius before the lineup, Dionysius did not want to waste time with him, and immediately ordered a storm.

The number of soldiers under Herolith was originally much smaller than that of the enemy, and the military heart was not stable. Even if the majority of the other soldiers were slaves, the rebel soldiers could not resist.

But at this moment, the sound of the high-pitched military horn sounded outside the door of the city of Helsar, followed by a deafening shout: "Hades!"

Dionysius's face changed dramatically.

Dionya - The Katana coalition arrived in time!

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

When Herolis and others fled to the high hills of Epipole and learned that the attack was personally carried out by Dionysius, Herros felt the desire to recapture the main city and eliminate mercenaries. Oh, because he knows too much about this Syracuse lord: Without careful preparation, Dionysius is not going to risk easily!

After discussion, Herolis and Stacycos finally decided to let go of their self-esteem and ask the Devonians for help.

They were originally located closest to Tonys, and the messengers sent out arrived in the early morning when they arrived at the city that had belonged to the Dionysian League. The Selekian fleet stationed at the port was led by Floriano. After learning the news, Sis sent the Clippers to Katane immediately, and he led the fleet and then arrived.

Katanai’s interim chief executive, Antrapolis, received a letter from Hercules for help, and also received a letter from Daves from West Lee Ting: Dionysius has fled to Syracuse. I hope that they will pay close attention to the movements in the city of Syracuse and must not allow Dionysius to regain control of Syracuse's power!

After a brief negotiation, Antrapolis and the head of the First Army, Antonios, immediately decided to send troops to rescue Herolis.

The First Corps sent 2,500 heavy infantry and 500 light infantry, and Katana sent 3,000 heavy infantry. In fact, as soon as I heard that I was going to attack Dionysius, the people of New Katanai enthusiastically signed up and asked to participate. But time is tight, Antrapolis only recruited citizens in the city of Katana a total of 6,000 troops, led by Antonios, boarded the Seklimian fleet.

When I arrived at the port of Tonys, it was already noon.

According to the living habits of Dionia, this is lunch time. But Antonios did not let the soldiers stop to rest, but after converging the 500 soldiers provided by Tonys, he urged the army to accelerate, and finally rushed into the Helsman Gate as the army of Herolis collapsed. .

These days, the soldiers of the First Legion were stationed in Katane, and while doing the rest, they also helped Antrapolis to stabilize the situation in the Catania plains, train Katanai citizens, and clear the squadrons in the country. Helping Kataney, Leotini, Sikuri and other new Sicilian city-states of the Dionysian alliance, attacking the embers of Dionysius... and so on, the days are still easy, the energy of saving I finally got vented today.

Therefore, the Dionysius army, which had just won and was chasing the squadron, was attacked by the first legion of the army who was the arrow. The slaves without special military training were under the fierce group attack of the First Corps soldiers. It will soon collapse. The mercenaries can still resist, but the number of the Deonian coalition forces has been overtaken by the two wings.
