v8 Chapter 43： Preparation for both sides before the war

.., the Greek hegemon of ancient Greece

Camilles seriously analyzed: "More importantly, their heavy infantry is not much different from our heavy infantry in terms of equipment. Even the arrays and tactics are very similar to us, but their The heavy infantry can invest in javelin. At the beginning of the battle, our young soldiers were defeated by the other javelin attack! And I also noticed that there are many flags in the Dionysian army, they used to convey There are not only military numbers, but also military drums and military flags. Therefore, the squadrons in Dionia are more closely connected and the orders are executed faster than us..."

After listening to Freud, he looked a little frustrated and said with a slight suspicion: "In this way, our army is not as good as the Dionyns?! Maybe... maybe, this unit is the strongest in Dionia. The troops, other troops may... not so strong fighting power and fighting spirit!"

Camilles has no illusions. He said frankly: "From the perspective of the organizational capabilities and combat levels demonstrated by this Dionysian army, I am afraid that other Dionyrian troops will not be too weak. Otherwise, it is impossible for Deonia to become a powerful kingdom in just a few years, and the Kingdom of Dionia has the land of the whole South, and they have more soldiers than us... to attract such a powerful Opponents, it will be a big problem for Rome!" When it comes to this, Camilos is worried.

What Freud suddenly thought of, to himself, also to Camillaus: "Don't forget, we have a strong ally, Carthage! They have made a promise, as long as Dionya dares to declare war on us, They will declare war on Dionya! There is Carthage attacking in the south, and there can be no more troops from Dionia coming here. Fighting on the land that belongs to us, we are occupied by Rome. Advantage!"

Camilles wants to stop.

At this time, the adjutant went into the big account and looked solemn: "The two military and political officials, the army's casualties statistics have come out. There are 4,460 missing people in our heavy infantry, 4 people missing in the cavalry, 740 people in the light infantry. Missing, a total of 56 people did not return to the camp..."

"56 people! Already half of the number of people out there!" Freuz's surprised expression was a bit exaggerated. He immediately realized that Camillaus was next to him, and said busyly: "There may not be so many casualties and prisoners. Soldiers. Some soldiers may run away. When the enemy retreats, they will return, so the sentinel of the camp should pay attention to the screening, and arrange the troops, always ready to help them return to camp..."

Although Camilles had expected it, this huge number still made him feel unbearable. He couldn’t control the cough and the adjutant was busy going forward for him.

After a while, Camillaus slowed down. His face was dark and his tone was low. "This battle caused so many casualties among the soldiers. It was my mistake! I want to go to the veteran." The hospital wrote a letter requesting punishment!...and I also want to remind them that they should be vigilant against the Dionysian army and use the soldiers carefully!"

When he heard Camillaus, Freuz’s heart was relieved. Although he respected Camilos, it does not mean that he wants to bear this failure with Camillaus. He does not want this time. The fiasco affected his future career in Rome, but he still said with loyalty: "Camilus, how can this be your responsibility?! You and I are the commanders of this army. The decision to go out for rescue is all you and me --"

Camilles waved his hand: "You don't want to say it, it's all my fault! I ignored the Diaonians, otherwise I should take the soldiers and return immediately after receiving the food-raising troops..."

"The war can't be fortunate!" Camillaus sighed deeply with remorse, then reminded: "We not only lost so many soldiers, but also some soldiers were injured, in a short time. Unable to fight against the enemy, the number of soldiers who can fight in the camp is greatly reduced. Frius, I suggest that you strengthen the camp defense tomorrow, no matter how provocative the enemy is, never kill the enemy!"

Freuz is young and young. The performance of the Dionysian army really shocked him. How dare he take his career and the lives of the soldiers to take risks. He nodded: "You are right, Camillaus, We should stick to the camp until Quintus brings their troops!"

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

For the Worthy, this is a rare victory for Rome in a decade, even though the main force of the battle is not them. When the Romans who had no hope of breaking through finally had to surrender to the Wolsey warriors, or if the Wolsey warriors captured and injured the backward Romans during the pursuit, the faces of the Walsh who returned to the Romans were overflowing. The pride of victory.

But the top executives of Worthy are very clear about who brought this victory. Under the leadership of Selce’s governor, Toulouse, and Polifnam’s governor, Katai Montalus, they found that they were treating the wound. Armenia of the soldiers.

"General Amintas, I really didn't think that you led the army and just arrived at Wolsey. The next day brought us a rare victory! It can be seen that Diaonia is really helping us! Thank you very much. You! Thank you very much!" Toulouse said with a sincere voice.

Catalantaros immediately took the message and excitedly apologized: "Please forgive my prejudice. When Toulouse told me that 'Diaonia sent only 10,000 troops,' I still I once complained, 'Only 10,000 soldiers can play a role in the invasion of tens of thousands of troops in Rome! But you and your soldiers have proved the strength of the Dionyrian army with heroic performance, please accept me to you. A tribute!"

The governor of the important town of Worthy immediately respected Amintas for the most distinguished etiquette of Wolsey.

Amintas hurriedly helped him, and he said modestly: "I am just a warrior. It is my task to follow the instructions of the kingdom and fight against the enemy! You should thank the King Daves who sent us. His Majesty!"

"The most correct thing we have done in these years is to form an alliance with the great Dionia. We are honored to fight side by side with the warriors of the Day of Denia! Defeat the Romans together!" Antiuum Former governor Coronus said loudly.

"Yes! That's right!..." Other Walsh executives are also louder.

Hearing these sincere words and watching them excitedly, Amintas suddenly realized that the victory of the First Corps to pay such a great sacrifice is very important!

At this time, Katerantaros made a sincere request to the head of the First Army of the Dionya: "General Amintas, because the Romans suffered this defeat, their troops in the camp have Not much, we decided to attack the Roman camp and destroy this enemy completely, hoping to get your help!"

Amintas squinted and shook his head, saying frankly: "I think the decision to attack the camp in Rome is not a good idea!"

Regardless of whether the faces of the Wolsey are good-looking, he continued to analyze seriously: "I have carefully examined the camps in Rome today. Their defenses are quite strict. And after today's battle, I found out that the Romans have a strong fighting power, even if they We rely on a lot of people, and we can finally win this camp, but our losses will be great. Can you afford such a loss now?! It is said that the Romans have another army with more people. They will soon Will come, then, at that time, because of the number of people who have suffered from continuous battles, what do we take to defend them?!..."

The words of Amintas were like pouring a cold pot of water to the high-ranking Walthy on the scene, letting them calm down from the ecstasy of just winning.

And Toulouse, who had disagreed with the attack on the camp in Rome, asked: "General Amintas, then what advice do you have for the next battle?"

Amintas thought about it and said: "We should adopt a defensive strategy and rely on defending the town to kill the Roman soldiers."

"Defense?! That would only allow the Romans to take our towns one by one. The loss of the city of Villitre is proof that the Romans now have a strong siege ability!" Katay Montalros said There are doubts and concerns.

At the moment, the temperament of Amintas did not get angry. He patiently explained: "When the march was through Setia I have observed the town and its defense facilities are too simple. Of course, it is easy to be broken. If you can use the victory of this battle and the tempering time of another Roman army that has not yet arrived, speed up the improvement and reinforcement of the defense of the city, it will definitely cause great trouble to the Romans! ”

"General Amintas, how should we improve the defense of the town?" Toulouse immediately asked humbly.

"First of all, the trenches should be dug deep and wide, and the bottom of the trench should be deeply buried, so that it is difficult for Roman siege soldiers to pass it. There is a dense deer village between the trench and the city wall, so even if the Romans pass the trench, they carry If you want to reach the city, it will take a lot of time. Our bows, javelins and stones... will kill the enemy as much as possible. In addition to the trench, we have to set traps. The trap settings are exquisite. ......" Amintas explained in detail, while portraying on the ground with a short sword, and a high-level Walsh executive listening to him carefully around him.

When the First Corps took a boat trip to the Latin Quarter, Carthage, who got the news, of course, also sent troops to Deyanga in accordance with previous commitments. However, the Senate in Carthage is very heated about this issue.
