v7 Chapter 53： The Ohio Army (2)

This is not a violation of the word. The military training department strictly guarantees the military training of the Eighth Army soldiers that the soldiers can do rapid marching and rapid siege. The preparations for the grain and material before the war by the Ministry of Military Affairs made the Eighth Army without any worries. The collection of the intelligence of the various tribes and towns in the West Kyle by the staff has allowed Prosuos to know each other and have a good idea...

With Tolmide as a lubricant in it, Davers did not bother to worry about the loss of the hearts of several ministers in the military department. His eyes turned to the city of Enna on the sand table and asked: "You think The Eighth Army needs a few days to attack Enna?"

Felicius thought about it: "Although Enna is located in the mountains of Sicily, it is also a big city in the towns of the West Kiel, but it is not built on the hills but built in the flat mountains, its walls are not The stone is made of wood, so the engineering corps of the Eighth Corps only needs to make more than a dozen artillery and siege towers. It should be able to break the city. I estimate that it will not exceed six days."

"Six days!" Davers turned to Capps: "If this is the case, the war in Sicily will be ended in about a month, and the Quartermaster Department will not need to organize the manpower."

"Your Majesty, this is only the estimated time to end the battle. The Eighth Army may still be stationed in these occupied towns for a period of time to stabilize the situation, waiting for the Senate to elect the Chief Executive and the Commission to appoint officials to take over, so the Eighth Corps In the Sikir area of ​​Sicily, it takes a long time to stay, so it is not enough to rely on the rations now available," Capps euphemistically reminded.

"Capps, you made a mistake. After the Eighth Corps and its affiliated forces annihilated the Taknikian tribe and other tribes that were in disgust with Dionia, they ordered them to give up towns such as Kefaro Idion and Enna. Occupation, support and our friendly West Kyle tribes." Daves slowly stated his preconceived ideas: "We only occupy the two towns of Hera and Herbita, so that we can more directly influence and strengthen The relationship with the West Kel."

In this way, the two towns of Hera and Herbita are close to Kataney and Naxos, and the Eighth Army does not need to send too many troops to station, so there is not much food consumption.

After listening to Capps, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hilos asked: "Your Majesty let the Eighth Army give up Kefaro Idian and Enna because of worry about Carthage?"

In his heart, Davers praised the sensitive political sense of Hilos. A good military minister must not only be proficient in military affairs, but also have a good political overall situation in order to control the development of war. Therefore, he seriously explained: "Yes. Indeed, I was worried about Carthage. Although the Carthage messenger went to Turui yesterday, he told us that 'Carthage is willing to renew the covenant with us,' but we should not be too careless, even though the Carthaginians The attention is now mainly on Numibia and Iberia, but our rapid expansion in Sicily will also arouse their resentment and vigilance, thus affecting the relationship between the two countries! At this stage, we are keeping with Carthage Being friendly is conducive to the stability of the southern part of the kingdom and is also of great benefit to our maritime trade. Once the relationship with Carthage is in turmoil, the first thing I have to come to protest with is the Melsis and Mariji."

Davers said that several people showed different degrees of smile.

“And the Sikelians are different from the fierce and unruly Samonians who are deeply influenced by Greek culture and are happy to interact with the Greeks, so as long as we continue to strengthen our influence on them, the Sikels will eventually become A member of the kingdom, so we don't have to worry."

"Your Majesty is right! The evil with Carthage will only affect our strategy of 'expanding north.'" Tolmide immediately agreed.

"Yeah, the northern part of the kingdom is the focus of our attention." Daphus took the message and turned the subject away: "How is the progress of the war in Dawny? Do you think that this war can be ended before this year? ?"

"Your Majesty." Military Minister Hilos has already considered this. He replied: "The commander of Alexis has led the second, fourth and fifth legions to unite the central city of Louney in Duni. Encircled, originally he planned to use the siege to attract the surrounding Dani town to send troops to rescue, to defeat the remaining forces of the Dani in the field. But the Dani people did not come to the rescue, so Alexis decided to concentrate Breaking through the city of Lucerne. When the city of Lucerne is broken, the morale of the Dani people will be gone, and there may even be cases of surrender..." Hilos said here, hesitated: "Just- —"

"Only the height of the city of Lucerne is thick. If Alexis wants to break it, he must do his best to achieve his goal. In the critical moment of the siege, the Danny reinforcements will not only destroy the siege. It is also likely to lead to the collapse of the entire army." Daphus said calmly and calmly said: "So Alexis needs reinforcements."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Everything is in your hands," Hilos replied earnestly.

Daves smiled and looked around at the crowd: "Donney's war can't be dragged for a long time. Which army do you think is appropriate?"

"The Second Legion, because most of the soldiers of this legion are in Turui, it is more convenient to call together, and it is closer to the battlefield," Capps suggested.

"It is now in the football finals. Some soldiers and team officers of the Second Legion are the players. At this time, they are transferred to the battlefield. The movement is too big. I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary panic among the citizens..." Hilos Showing his concerns.

"To say that the nearest to the battlefield should be the Tenth Army, you can send this army to support the troops of Danny." Hieronyms spoke.

"But the Tenth Army was the newly formed legion. The soldiers of the Legion were almost all made up of the Puchettis. I am afraid..." Tormed raised his objection.

"Downey who is now already Daiaoniya citizen." Dai Fusi sternly reminded one, turned around and asked 希罗尼姆斯: "?? How can the training Tenth Legion battle kills you."

"No problem, it's ok!" Military Commander Hieronymus said concisely.

"In this case ......" Dai Fusi touched jaw, thought for a moment, decisive, said: "The Ninth, Tenth Legion have sent in the past, during the war are most likely to produce a sense of belonging, they can then Ba Gule To do it, the ninth and tenth regiments should be able to do the same! Alexis has these two regiments and has enough troops to carry out his plan, but in this case, the demand for food will be large. increase."

"Your Majesty, please be assured that we quartermaster department will handle this problem." Capps immediately said.

"Good!" Daves nodded and said to Felicius: "I remember the head of the Tenth Army is Melishanda?"

"Yes." Felicius replied softly.

"You son of great military talent, and I look forward to his performance on the battlefield Downey." Dai Fusi smile.

Before Filipinos remained silent, it was to avoid suspicion. At this moment, he had to be called only.

"We are a mercenary at the age of the leader of the Mount Meili, and I am still a mercenary in Asia Minor. In order to eat a full stomach, I have to accept the employer’s request to participate in some dangerous battles. If it is not, then there will be such a thing today. Life!” Tormide’s words of sigh evoked the resonance of several military squads.

Dai Fusi smiled, did not participate in this topic, looked back at the city of Lucerne Virginia wooden model sand table in the center of the territory is located in Downey, reach out and pressed by it, said: "Today's military meeting right here It was still early, I will not keep you here for lunch. "

When Davers finished speaking, he found that suddenly it was quiet in the war room. Several people looked at me and I looked at you. It looked strange.

"Is there anything else?" Davers asked.

Finally, Hilos said: "Your Majesty, about Antonios...we want to plead for him!"

"Your Majesty, La Odison is a cowardly guy, often go to Antonios to help. You also know that Antonios is a serious person, La Odesian helped him in the South Italian war, but his father-in-law Sometimes it is impossible to quit, this time he has been punished... I hope that you can give him the opportunity to change!" With the first opening of Hilos, Felicius also said with earnestness.

Davers understood this. He swept through this face with a look of hope, and asked quietly: "Is Antonios asking you to say this?"

"How is this possible!" Tormed quickly yelled: "With Antonios' self-righteous temper, how can we ask us one by one! It is because we think he is a good comrade who once fought side by side in Persia~www. Mtlnovel.com~ So only-"

"I know this," Davers said faintly.

He has lived in a high position for more than ten years, and he has been moving for a long time. He has a strong power. Daves himself has a strong power. Even if he is calm, Felicius feels that he is not under pressure.

At this time, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in." Davers said, letting the sense of pressure, Hilos, they secretly sighed.

The court commander, Aristilas, walked into the room and handed a Shake paper roll to Davers.

After watching Dafos, he saw several people deliberately moving their eyes to other places to show their suspicion. He smiled and said: "Sparta has sent Youdamidas to lead an advance force to the Kalkidike Peninsula."

"Who is Youdamidas?" Felicius asked curiously.

"The brother of Phibidas." Aristilas replied.
