v8 Chapter 57： Dionya's counterattack

The roman made the retreat order, and the sound of the Wolsey reinforcements attacked.

The people of Setia in the city heard the horn and suddenly increased their confidence.

Because the Roman army used the squadron as a tactical unit, its army organization was not too scattered during the siege, but the Roman soldiers were mostly heavy infantry, not preparing javelins, arrows, stones... not to mention the city walls. A gap, they stand on the city's defense, can not play too much blocking. So the Romans hurriedly organized the team and rushed to the gap in the wall. They had not arranged the defensive formation. The Wolsey reinforcements poured into the gap from the West Wall...

The lack of physical strength and the incompetent Roman army could not stop for a long time, and they were rushed into the formation by the Wolsey soldiers who were alive and kicking. They rushed into various parts of the city and attacked the Roman soldiers who were retreating.

The Romans collapsed and rushed out of the city of Setia.

The Wolsey reinforcements went straight to the end until the Roman soldiers fled into the barracks.

Fortunately, Camillaus saw the plane early, and promptly commanded the troops in the south to retreat the camp in an orderly manner. Then, when the army in the north collapsed, the army was sent to intercept the soldiers. Otherwise, it was very likely that the people of the city would rush into the camp.

On this day of fighting, the Roman army failed to attack the city, killing and wounding more than 4,000 people. The defenders of Setia also suffered heavy casualties, and more than 10,000 people in Setia were killed and injured.

The first legion of the Dionysian team was tasked with hampering the Roman camp garrison, and there was almost no casualties, but the high-ranking Wolsey in the city of Plevenham was against Amintas and Printors. Thanks, because they once again defeated the mighty Romans according to the strategy proposed by the Diaonians. While celebrating the victory of the battle, they also had confidence in the next battle plan proposed by Amintas.

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

The failure of the siege war shrouded the entire camp in Rome, but Kuntus’s determination to capture the city of Setia was not shaken, and he insisted on launching the attack on the city of Setia the next day.

In this regard, Camillaus did not express objection, because he is very clear: Although the Walsi people once again won the victory, but the strength gap between the two sides has not been greatly changed, and Setia has been fierce battle today, it is already The loss was heavy and the loss was overwhelming. Even if thousands of reinforcements were added, in the case of losing the advantage of the city defense, facing the siege of tens of thousands of Roman troops, it was just a piece of fat in the mouth, and it was possible to take the opportunity to reduce Wolsey’s The number of reinforcements. Therefore, the strategy of correct attack and don't give the enemy a breather.

While supporting the Kuntus Siege Plan, Camillaus also reminded the three military and political officials: to strengthen the reconnaissance around them, expand the scope of investigation, and prevent the recurrence of "enemy reinforcements have come to the forefront" as it is today. Dangerous situation.

Everyone agrees with this suggestion. But for another suggestion made by Camillaus, "I hope that the military and political officials will go to the various squadrons, encourage the soldiers, and boost morale." Both Freuz and Lisignius agree, only Kuntu Is not set.

The next morning, the collection of the Roman camps sounded, and the well-dressed Roman soldiers rushed out of the military account. They could not see the frustration of yesterday’s failure on their faces, but instead showed the excitement of going out, Roman citizens. The attitude towards combat can be seen.

Just as the soldiers lined up, the military and political officials who were about to leave in the big account received a bad news at this time.

"Astura was attacked?!" Freuz heard the news, his eyes widened in surprise, and he broke the messenger with some anger: "What are our detectives doing?! The Ersi people once again bypassed us and went to the rear! We didn’t even know!-"

"Freus military officer." The messenger loudly reminded: "Not a Walsi, may be a Diaonian! The enemy are wearing black armor, about five or six thousand people, riding a huge The fleet, landing on the beach near Astura."

"When I was ordered to report, they had already started attacking the city of Astura! Four military officers, please send reinforcements to rescue! There is only one squadron in the city of Astura, and it is impossible to resist so many enemies. The offense!" The messenger anxiously requested.

Camillas, Quintus, Lisignius, and Frius face each other and look extremely dignified.

The tactics of maritime attack, landing, etc., these Roman generals may have only heard of it, but they have never seen it before. Although Rome has the port of Ostia, its warships are scarce and have never been used for fighting. Rome has always been an inland city-state since its founding, and has always been fighting on land, never against his enemies. After landing operations, no enemy has ever landed on it. After all, the enemy in the past has no navy at all. Even Camilles has no concept in mind.

Therefore, they led the army all the way to push the Walsi people to the south of the Latin region. The occupied Walsh towns were surrounded by Latin allies, and the military and political officials did not leave too many soldiers to defend. Because they think the rear is basically safe.

Until then, they realized that the enemy that Rome had just provoked was not only powerful but also powerful! The coastline of the Latin Quarter is under the control of the Dionysian fleet.

The messenger’s request immediately changed Camillaus and Lisignius’s face, and shouted in unison: “Antium! We must rescue Antioum!”

There is only one squadron in Astura, and it is a small town. It is impossible to withstand the attack of thousands of Dionyrian soldiers, and even if Astura loses, the impact on the Roman army will not be too great. But in the north of Astura, less than ten miles apart, Antibes, also a seaside town in Wolsey, is very important to the Roman army because the important town in the northwest of Wal-Mart has a larger port. After the Roman army seized him, it was used as a transit point for the transportation of military grain. The grain raised by Rome passes through the Tiber River and is carried to the port of Ostia in the estuary. It is transported by ship to Antiuum and transported by land to the Roman battalion. This saves a lot of time and labor. For the convenience of food transportation.

Because of the importance of Antiuum, Camillaus left four Roman squadrons here and a heavy transport team. But he did not expect the enemy to raid from the sea, so this enemy is too little compared to the attacking enemy. If the Dionyns captured the Antigua, the food supply in the Roman camp would be met. difficult.

After a moment of silence in the big account, Quintus finally said in a dry voice: "We should temporarily stop the siege and send troops to rescue Antioum!" Quintus finally made such a decision, and the mood was quite uncomfortable. Because the siege war that is inevitable is about to begin, it was suddenly interrupted.

But then Camiros’s words surprised everyone: “I think we should stop attacking the Wolsey and withdraw the army to Rome!”

The three military sergeants looked at him with astonishment. Camillaus said with a dignified look: "The Denia fleet is strong, they can carry the land of the Dionysian army on the coastline of Latin, any flat beach. Local landing, today's attack is Antioch, tomorrow may attack our Latin League Adi, the day after tomorrow may be our important port Ostia, and even the Diaonians are not satisfied with the town only attacking the sea, and It is a darting inland, attacking our Latin allies and colonial cities, destroying our villages and fields! The Dionysian army is quite powerful, and our main force is here, the Roman city and surrounding areas are empty!"

"But...but, Diaonia is suffering from drought, they can't send more troops!" Freuz said in silence.

"A Denia army was fighting with us yesterday afternoon. Today, a Dionysian army appears on the coastline dozens of miles away from us. They cannot be the same army! So there is the first Two Dionysian troops, there may be a third Dionysian army! And we..." Camilles stared at the three, said in a deep voice: "Dare to take the Roman territory and the safety of the people to take this Is it dangerous?!"

The three men were in a tight heart and were silent for a while.

Four military and political officers, Quintus is a large aristocrat, Camillaus and Frius are small aristocrats, Li Si Nius is a civilian, their living habits are different, political ideas are different, but one thing is The same: They all love Rome, and they are not willing to let this home that has already had a disaster be in danger!

So they quickly put down their respective interests and reached an agreement: Quintus, Florius led 12,000 people to immediately go to rescue Antioum; and Camilles and After Li Si Nius led the nearly 30,000 soldiers to clean up the camp, they escorted the heavy and wounded soldiers and safely retreated to Rome.

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

After Lizaru received a letter from Davis, he began to pay attention to the Wolsey area not far from Campania.

Soon, he received a letter from Amintas asking for his assistance.

The news that "the cargo ships carrying food between Antigua and Ostia Port are frequent" has long been seen by Campania businessmen active on the west coast of Italy, and the news naturally spread to Liza. Lu's ear.

At his request, an intelligence from the intelligence department about the general distribution of the enemy forces in the Wolsey area was sent to him.
