v6 Chapter 241： Agassius' expectations

When Dionysius saw the enemy of the black helmet black armor rushing up, his heart was half cold. At this moment, seeing the situation is not good, immediately blew the retreat.

Antonios considered the soldiers marching all the way, physical strength has not been restored, did not order chase, but let the troops rest on the spot.

Hercules, who escaped the catastrophe, saw the Devonian soldiers take off their armor and ate their rations while sitting on the land in the city of Syracuse, resting in the heart.

But no matter what he thought, at the moment his face always showed a smile, gratefully said to Antonios: "Apollo blessing! Thank you for the timely assistance of Dionia! Without you, we sacrificed life is a small matter, Syracuse Zha will be reoccupied by the wicked Dionysius, which will be a disaster for the people of Syracuse and for Diaonia, who is fighting Dionysius!"

Antonios proposed the meaning of Herlos. He not only did not care, but seriously answered: "Dionysius is the maker of war, the peace of the Diaonians and the people of Syracuse. I don't want him to take power again and provoke war. I have only one purpose to bring troops here - to drive him out of Syracuse, and what to do next, we will listen to your opinions."

The low profile of Antonios made Herollis and others relieved, so the response of Herolis became much more: "General, I hope that you can lead your troops and help us to recapture Dionysius. Occupied main city."

Antonios immediately agreed to Herlos's request and let the soldiers take a break to the southeast of the city.

In fact, Dionysius at this time has led the mercenaries to retreat to Otija Island. When he saw the presence of the Syracuse Legionnaire, he knew that his army could not resist in a short time.

He didn't expect the Deonian reinforcements to come so fast, and he always regretted that after hearing that Herlos and others had defeated his chasing troops in the Epipley Heights last night, they should not be safe. Busy to organize slaves and to divide the troops of Heralis, it took him a lot of precious time. Instead, you should immediately lead all the mercenaries to Epipoule, completely destroying the Herriots and others, occupying the northern wall of Syracuse, and blocking the passage of the Diaonians south!

It is too late to regret now, and the discreet character of Dionysius led to the ultimate failure. Seeing the victory of the upcoming victory, he spit out and he regretted that he could not repent.

Antonios led the troops forward quickly. He soon realized the vastness of the city of Syracuse and, of course, the fall of people. I am afraid that Dionysius will draw a large number of citizens and sailors and support personnel to expedition to the Great Greece. .

It took nearly an hour for the Dionysian coalition to reach the main city. The mercenaries who were driving and looting the people saw their arrival and fled to Ortigia Island.

Later, Herlos and others cried, because the entire square was covered with dead bodies and wounded people. Most of them were the families of the rebels and the people who most strongly supported them.

Anthony led the army to chase the isthmus of Ortigia Island and saw the towering fortress and the tall and strong walls behind it. To prevent the siege from being too big, he gave up the attack and retreated to the newly built wall.

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

It also appears to be sluggish in Sparta.

Sparta has been fighting on both sides. In the Asia Minor, Aquilidas led the Allied forces and mercenaries to continue fighting with the Persians. The war in the Corinthian isthmus region of the Peloponnese peninsula continued to endure, although the main force of the war was not the Allied forces, but mercenaries. The citizens of Bada also suffered a lot of casualties.

The Elder Council has to order: Let the citizens who are over 50 years old also put on armor, pick up shield spears, and act as patrols in Sparta to prevent the change of the Blacks. They even decided to hold "hunting operations" in advance (that is, to plan to kill the blacks, reduce their population, and ensure the security in Sparta).

The cloud of war shrouded Sparta and the people were in a state of high tension.

Just then, Pfeidas, who had returned to Sparta, saw Agassius at the King's Mansion.

The Sparta King, who has made a great reputation in Asia Minor, in Central Greece, and in the Corinthian isthmus, has already won the respect of Spartan citizens. Some even call him "the Spartan hero after Leshan." At this time, he looked a little tired. He leaned on the wooden chair, his right leg straightened, and he bent his left leg. This is his habitual movement, and people can't see the problem of his left leg. . He leaned over and listened carefully to Fibidas about his experience following Dionysius in the Western Mediterranean.

The wooden chairs on which they sit are next to each other, which shows that he attaches importance to Fibidas, although there is no fruit or wine banquet (in Syracuse, Filibidas often enjoys such treatment), but A simple environment makes Feidas feel comfortable.

Fibidas tried to describe the process of the entire Great Greek War he knew from a neutral point of view, and then picked up the rough pottery around him. The tank was filled with cool river water. He drank a big mouth and immediately felt Some thirsty throats are moisturized.

Agassius reminisced about the description of Fibidas and imagined the wars of thousands of soldiers on the land of the Great Greece. He couldn’t help but sigh: "I didn't expect The mammoth Great Greek War is coming to an end in less than half a year, and the results are completely beyond our expectations!"

"Yeah, no one thought that the weak Dionya would be the last winner!" Fibidas also felt that when the army of Syracuse landed in the Great Greece, it was like a broken bamboo. The elders of Da is worried that Syracuse is too easy to win, including himself. Who knows the result is exactly the opposite. It is estimated that many Spartans have stunned their chins.

"According to your judgment, can Syracuse still be defeated?" Agslaus asked with a trace of luck. After all, Syracuse is Sparta's many-year ally. Its failure will mean the bankruptcy of Sparta's original Western Mediterranean strategy, which may lead to a complete transformation of Sparta's foreign strategy. For this reason, Agassi's teacher is not allowed. Not careful.

“Basic is impossible.” Filibidas replied directly. Then he hesitated and said: “Unless... God blessed the dying of the Dionyrian army...”

In the eyes of outsiders, in the years when Dionysius was the lord, Syracuse was once twice taken by the Carthage soldiers (the first time in Dionysius was just a full-time general, not long after AD) In the first 406 years, the result was that because the Carthaginians were infected with the plague, they were eventually defeated and gave the feeling of being outsiders. It seems that Dionysius also has a **** blessing, but in fact the port of Siracusa There are a large number of swamps near the Anapus River in the south, and every Carthage army is camped nearby. A large number of mosquitoes have found numerous hosts for spreading bacteria.

For the Dionysian army, the possibility of a plague is extremely small, because the "Diaonia Military Law" requires that the army should not camp near mosquito breeding. After the battle, it is necessary to cremate and bury the bodies of both sides. The soldiers must drink the boiled water. Moreover, the squatting camp carries lime (produced from the Tuliyi stone mine). After the camp is established, it must be disinfected in the camp and in the unclean places around it...

Daves from the past life certainly knows the cause of the plague, and taking so many measures basically makes this possibility to a minimum.

Of course, Agassius will not know this, but a mentally mature commander will never pin his hopes on the "unpredictable gods". The words of Phibidas are actually to cover the end of the great Greek war. Conclusion.

Agslaus looked at the left leg with his left fist and drew agility. He asked: "Do you think that Dionysius can defeat those rebels and regain the rights of Syracuse?"

"It's hard!" Although Fibidas had been with Dionysius for a few months, but had only seen the rebels, he said something about it: "Dionysius lost his strong, loyal The mercenary unit lost his huge navy, and also abandoned the army and became a deserter. Not only was the Syracuse people abandoning him, but most of the Syracuse allies also turned his back on him, not to mention Dior. The army of Niia is stationed in the city-state near Syracuse. Dionysius is facing the enemy in four, isolated and helpless, unless we send support to Sparta to support him!"

"Sparta has no reinforcements to send Agassius said very simply.

This is expected in Fibidas.

"Unfortunately, we have supported Dionysius for so many years, and the result..." Agrislaus sighed, his face showing a pity.

"We can turn to support the Syracuse rebels, their princes have promised me that they are willing to continue to make Syracuse alliance with our Sparta and send us reinforcements after the end of the Great Greek War to help We defeat those allies that oppose Sparta."

The words of Phibidas did not make Agassius happy. He said indulgingly: "For us, this is a last resort. But... this new Syracuse regime is probably democratic. System."

Phibidas recalled the "nearly ten generals" he saw at the town hall of Syracuse, nodding his head and said: "It should be."

"The democratic system has great uncertainty. The ignorant people are easily tempted by the hearts of the people and suddenly force the Syracuse leadership to tear up the covenant with us... This is also the time when the Elders Council was willing to work with Dionysius. The reason why the Lord cooperated." Agassius expressed his concern.
