v8 Chapter 32： Dionys vs Rome (1)

On the second morning, in the Roman military camp outside the city of Setia, Camillaus got up as early as before, took the linen covered with water, and wiped his face, then ate. A little breakfast.

At this time, his son, also the captain of the army, Lucius (according to the Roman military system, the cavalry chief is the second-in-command of the army) also entered the big account as usual, greeting his father.

“Is there any abnormal situation?” Camillaus asked immediately.

"As it was before, nothing changed." Lucius replied casually.

Camillaus saw his son's usual look, and immediately reminded him: "Don't take it lightly! The Senate has informed us that they rejected the Dionyrian proposal a few days ago and will continue to The Warriors’ war is going to the end. Therefore, the Diaonians are likely to join the war. We must be vigilant and always ready, because the Dionysian reinforcements may appear at any time!”

"The Senate refused to make the Diavians arrogant and unreasonable, and the land of victory and occupation that Roman citizens exchanged for their blood and their lives could be abandoned in vain because of the threat of the Dionyrians!" Chius said indignantly that he was already in his 40s and still retains his full bloodiness and did not inherit the gentle and steady character of his father.

"That said, but this has undoubtedly added a lot of potential difficulties to this war!" Camilles said with a little worry.

Luchius immediately said with confidence: "Father, in the past ten years, our land in Rome has not only expanded greatly, but the number of our citizens has also increased rapidly. The Roman city and the established colonial age-appropriate citizens of the Senate in the beginning of this year. The number of soldiers is enough to have 400 squadrons, which does not include those Latin allies, not to mention the help of the Carthaginians. The Diaonians are not here, if they dare to come, they will know us Rome. The army is amazing!"

Camillaus didn't want to make unnecessary arguments with his son. He waved his hand and urged: "You should send cavalry to perform reconnaissance missions."

After Lucius left, Camillaus, with the help of the slaves, wore armor and began daily routines – patrolling the barracks. Wherever they went, the soldiers all respected his name.

But in fact, "Camillos" is not his real name, but the nickname he used in childhood, from the name of a Roman **** in the temple. But when he repeatedly won on the battlefield, his nickname was spread, because many citizens think that he is invincible in the battle like a god. He regarded "Kamilus" as his family name and regarded it as glory (he was the first of the Romans to be the nickname of the writer's surname).

He often talks cordially with the soldiers in the camp. Just as the elders care about the young people, they understand their mental state. In addition to encouraging them, they sometimes help them solve some small difficulties, so the soldiers love him, and he I also enjoy this military camp atmosphere. To be honest, he is more tired of the complex political environment of the Senate, afraid to see the fierce conflict between civilians and nobles, only to relax in the military camp.

Camillas had just patrolled the military camp, and the commander of another legion, the military and political official, Freuz, went into the big account.

According to the provisions of the Roman Senate: When two or more military and political officials command the army, they will take turns to command the army.

Today, it is the turn of Camilos, and Freuz can stay in his own camp, and he will not care about anything. However, out of respect for Camilles and his responsibility to the military, he still came as a deputy to listen to the new military deployment of Camilos.

Florius saw Camillaus walk into the big account with a calm look. He immediately understood that Camilles’ strategy was still sticking to the camp, but he still asked: “Camilus, do we still not attack today? Setia?"

Camilles comforted him: "According to the news brought by the messenger, Quintus's army will launch a storm on the city of Satnikum today. If it can be won, two or three days later, they will Can join us, and then join forces to attack the Wolsey, so don't worry now."

How can Freuds not be anxious, Roman citizens have always been very eager for the merits and honors, especially for Freuz, because he urgently needs more combat power to wash away the shame of his previous defeat, just because of the previous defeat and Kami Luce's tolerance made him cautious and more respectful of Camilos.

"If the Wolsey people can go out and fight with us! Even if they get the reinforcements of the Olonic and the West Dini, they are not weaker than us, and they can't beat Camilos. Third-line tactics. Our soldiers, who have been assisted by the Carthaginians, are far stronger than the other in the armor. If we can defeat the last strength of the Wolsey in the battle, we can completely put the Wolsey. Go to the mountains and occupy this fertile land!" Freuz said confidently.

After listening to Camillaus, he said seriously: "Unfortunately, the people of Worthy are now cautious. They are hiding in the city and there are thousands of Wolsey warriors in the small town of Setia. It can't be attacked in a short time. Once you attack the city, you have to worry about the attack of the army in the city of Pleefnum..."

"If we also have the guns donated by the Carthaginians!" Freuz sighed with regret, suddenly he thought of something, and loudly suggested: "Camilus, not as good as we were last time. Do the same, give up the siege of Setia and go to the city of Serre!"

Camillas stunned and thought about it, then shook his head: "After such a surprise attack, the Wolsey people are probably already prepared. Once we can't capture Selce in a short time, we will hear it." The enemies that come will encircle us. When we are exhausted and exhausted, we don’t have enough time to build a camp. I’m afraid...”

Camillaus looked at Freuz and once again seriously advised: "We have taken an absolute advantage. There is absolutely no need to take risks. Wait patiently for two or three days. Then I will let you personally lead the army to attack Selcher. !"

Freuz sent his thighs with his right hand and then smiled helplessly: "Well, Camilles, I listen to you, we will wait for Quintus to come, hope they can come faster!" ”

After listening to what Camilles said, Freuds did not want to stay in the big account. He got up and said goodbye. He was just preparing to pay the bill. A man suddenly came in, and he almost fell.

"Lucius!" Freuz was surprised to see the team officer who was lying on the ground and dusty.

"What happened?" Camilles, who had always been calm, saw his son’s miserable appearance and revealed his surprise.

Luchius stood up with his hands and staggered.

Freus was busy picking up a wooden chair and letting him sit down.

Luchius nodded his gratitude and immediately gasped and said: "Father, I led two hundred men's cavalry... Bypassing Plefernum, ready to continue south...Detecting the surrounding area of ​​Serre The situation of the Ersi people... Who knows that a group of cavalry in black costumes suddenly appeared from the south, they... they immediately attacked us -"

Luchius said that there was a trace of fear in his eyes: "They are very good at riding, there are more people than us, and they are good at throwing javelins right away. Our cavalry will soon be broken up...if not around The cavalry... cover me, I am afraid I will not see you..."

Luchius finished, and there was a thrilling scene in the mind that was chased by the enemy and the javelin whizzed from time to time. The ears always remembered the screams of the cavalry. He had no **** face. Become more pale.

Black cavalry? ! In the heart of Freuz, he looked at Camillas with a slight nervousness.

Camiros is also looking very dignified at this moment. His uncertain voice said: "It seems that the Dionyns are coming?!"

Before Luchius fled all the way, I couldn't think about it. When I heard my father say it, I was surprised: "Is it a Dionian?!"

"I don't remember the forces around me who have black costumes, and as many as you said. Just listen to the Carthaginians, the soldiers of the Dionya are both infantry and cavalry. "Unified black." Camillaus looked at his son and said: "They may only be the ones you threatened to defeat before."

Lucius was somewhat shy and bowed his head How much lost our cavalry? Camillaus asked again.

"Because... because of the scattered retreat, some cavalry have not yet returned, and statistics on casualties are temporarily unavailable..." Lucius said in a whisper.

Florius saw Camillaus look uncomfortable and said with concern: "I am afraid that the cavalry of the legion I led was also attacked by the Danonian cavalry!"

With the reminder of Freuz, Camillaus has no mood to criticize Lucius.

Camilles, the Roman army they led, had ten cavalry squadrons. Every morning, two military officers sent out most of the cavalry, some to detect the enemy, and some to synchronize the troops to collect food in the nearby area. The Wolsey cavalry was not strong and had suffered a fiasco before, so Camillaus did not feel worried about the safety of the cavalry that had been thrown out, but now he is nervous and immediately orders: "Lucius, You immediately sent a detective ride to the north to urgently inform the infantry squadrons and cavalry squadrons who were collecting food in the village of Worthy to return to the military camp immediately! And remind them to be careful of the attacks of the Dionia cavalry on their way back!"
