v8 Chapter 19： Declare war on Dionya? (1)

Lizaru came to the center of the battlefield: it was covered with wounded soldiers and corpses. The more the corpses were in the center, the more fierce the battle was. At the very center, there are more than 20 soldiers of the Daiyan Army. They are all wounded, bloodstained, and the military is not even. They even have difficulty in standing. They can only help each other...

But when Lizaru came to the front, they still tried to salute him: "The head of the reporting army, the first detachment of the fourth corps of the Third Corps completed the blocking mission!"

Lizzaru returned to the military ceremony with great solemnity, and at the same time, his voice said with a whimper: "You have done a good job! Without your resistance, there is no such victory!"

When he finished, he stepped forward and supported the crumbling Tagru, and grabbed his right hand and held it high: "You Tageru had blocked the Raos with a small amount of troops at the river fortress ten years ago. Offensive! Today you once again blocked a few thousands of Samonei fighters with a company. You are really a wall!"

"Wansheng! Wansheng!! Wansheng!!!..." The soldiers around cheered in unison.

In the cheers, Tagru and his soldiers struggled to straighten their chests, and since then, Tagug has had the nickname "iron wall."

The generals of the Campania League, who followed Lizal, and other leaders of the Campania League, have seen such a terrible battlefield, and have never seen such a terrible army. When they face an enemy attack that is dozens of times their own number, they are actually fighting. Not retiring, this is simply a rumored version of the hot springs off the battle!

The shock of these generals can be imagined: no wonder that Dionia can defeat Syracuse and become the hegemon of the Western Mediterranean. There is such an army, and which city-state is brave to fight!

At this time, the Legion Medical Camp also rushed over and rummaged through the dead bodies to rescue the surviving soldiers.

After a while, the Daonian cavalry commander came to report: "The head of Lizaru, we seized the leader of Kautini, Segowani!"

Lizaru was not surprised at all: it was a miracle that the third legion and its allies could escape under such a tight encirclement.

Instead, the Dionya messenger Carias, who followed Lizaru all the way, hurriedly asked: "Where is he?!"

"Bring him up!" the captain of the cavalry shouted with some self-satisfaction.

A dusty Segovani was limped and pushed up. When he fled, he was knocked down by the Dionysian cavalry, his right foot was injured, his guard was also washed away, and he could not escape at all. He consciously took the initiative to become a prisoner.

"The big leader of Segovani, I did not expect that we would meet in such a situation."

Segovani heard the familiar voice and turned to look at it, but it was a ridiculous face of Carias.

"Dyonia, you violated the covenant and quietly attacked your ally Kautini! Do you want to start a war with our Zamonai alliance?!" Segovani roared.

"Who is in breach of the Covenant?! It is your Kautini who first violated the Covenant. The bodies of hundreds of Campania people in the city of Attra are your evidence! Diaonia is maintaining the sacred covenant In response to the request of the loyal allies, the city-states of the Campania League, they sent troops to protect the lives and property of the Campania people in the territory of the Campania League! If you are Kauti The Nepalese did not violate the Covenant and did not invade the territory of the Campania League. How could they fight with us!!..." Carias asked.

Segovani was speechless, but continued to swear: "You have let me and my soldiers, I will persuade the compatriots in the mountains to resolve this conflict peacefully! Otherwise the entire Samona Union will call all the warriors, Form a large army and invade your territory in Dionia!..."

As soon as Karias heard it, he wanted to say that Lizaru, next to him, roared: "Let them come! Our third legion is not beaten!"

Looking at Segowani, who was forced to press down, Kalias soon lost the anger when he was humiliated in Kautim. He thought and said: "I don't know if you will fight this battle." How to deal with it?"

"It is best to order us to take Lola, Sasella, and Capsa!" Lizaru said confidently.

The two laughed at each other.

In this battle, more than 5,000 Kautini fighters led by Segovani, together with other tribal warriors who invaded the Campania territory, totaled more than 12,000, while Dionya The Third Corps, together with half of the strength of the Second Cavalry Corps of the Republic of Denia and the army of the Campania League, totaled about 20,000, and defeated most of the invasions with carelessness and unpreparedness. The Kautini people, especially the main force led by Segovani, were almost annihilated.

After the war, the battlefield was cleaned. A total of 3,000 Kautini soldiers were killed and wounded. More than 2,000 Kautini people were captured. The death and injury of Kautini soldiers who fled back to the mountains were unknown. For this victory, the coalition forces of Dionia and Campania also paid a price. A total of more than 1,500 soldiers were killed or injured. The first company of the Fourth Brigade of the Dionysian Third Army almost lost their lives. The Second Cavalry Corps also paid a lot of casualties while blocking the retreat of Segovani’s troops. However, this battle gave Kautini a heavy blow and shocked the entire Samona area.

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

In the Carthage Senate, the elders had a heated debate about the news that had just come back from Rome.

"You, we can't give in again! A year ago, because of our concession, the Takyan tribes who were close to us were completely wiped out, allowing the Dionyns to completely control the Sikel area and let us assist. Gold, silver and materials are wasted in vain! Now the greedy Dionyns are aiming at our ally in central Italy, Rome, and we can no longer watch the Dionias conquer Rome. Then it successfully occupied the whole of Italy, and at that time, which country could stop the vast territory of Dionia! And the powerful Kingdom of Dionia is willing to live in peace with us Carthage!...” Magoni The leader of the Senate, Preta Kuba, excitedly waved his arms and shouted.

His passionate words made some elders move.

Oklahoma stood up and said without hesitation: "Calm, Preta Kuba, you are too excited. I remember the news that came back only said that the Dionian messenger hopes that Rome can stop against Wall. The West’s offensive has no intention of going to war with Rome. Rome has swallowed too much land in recent years, and should stop and rectify its internal affairs. The contradiction between its domestic aristocrats and civilians is so fierce, even for many years. Refusing to judge the governor, and then going on, Rome will have a big problem sooner or later."

"Russian Creton, I think you are really confused!" Another Margnade faction, Santipur, stood up and accused: "We spend so much gold, silver and supplies every year to make Rome a A prosperous city-state?! We want to make Rome a powerful force in central Italy, which can prevent the expansion of the Kingdom of Dionia to the north! Now the Worthy people have suffered a fiasco, which is a good time for Rome to conquer them and strengthen their strength. If Rome stops attacking and shrinks its power, it gives the Wolsey people a breathing space.

Now, Diaonia is aware of the dangers of Rome, they are trying to help Wolsey, they may also unite with other forces against Rome to strengthen their influence in central Italy. With the support of Dionia, these races will continue to confront Rome, and eventually Rome will be like the Tanico tribe, eventually conquered by the Dionyans!

I think this is not what any wise veteran in the room wants to see! It is also totally inconsistent with the interests of our Carthage! So we must fully support the Romans and let them reject the Daonian proposal! ”

"Santipur, please note that your full support for Rome is to let them continue to attack Wolsey, which eventually led to the war between Rome and Dionia in advance?!" Sofitel Tepanlacco stood up and shouted Asked.

There was a buzzing sound in the venue.

"Yes, it is very likely that this will happen in the end." Santipur calmly replied.

There was another commotion at the venue.

"It is impossible for Rome alone to compete with Dionia. At that time, as an ally of Rome, will we want to join Carthage?!" Taipanlaco asked.

"Either as a covenant to comply with the oath, to fulfill the military alliance or to safeguard the interests of our Carthage, we must declare war on Dionia!" Preta Kuba said categorically.

The veterans were in a state of utter dismay, and the controversy sounded at the venue.

"When we agreed to support the Tuckernian tribe and Rome, and hope that they can suppress the expansion of Dionya, did we not regard Dionys as an enemy in our hearts?! Do you still have fantasy at the moment? Looking forward to the eradication of one race after another and becoming extremely powerful, the Kingdom of Dionia can continue to live in peace with us?!" Preta Kuba’s loud questioning made the venue that had just been noisy quiet. A lot.

"Declare war on Dionya?! Do you know that we just sent troops to Cirta a few months ago to annihilate the Numidians rebellion, which is not completely settled yet!!" Taipanlaco loudly Remind.

"There are also rebellions in the territory of Deonia. Mesapi, Petchi, and Dani are only a lot more than us, but this does not affect their continued war and conquer other forces!" Thakuba, with an incontroverted expression, said loudly: "What the Daonians can do, we have ruled this land for so long, and we should be able to do it!"
