v8 Chapter 74： Rescue Ascurum (2)

At this moment, Higsitus heard the rushing horn of the city, and his heart could not help but tighten: Should the Samonais step up the attack? !

But when he reminded the soldiers in the city to defend and prepare for the next attack of the enemy, they saw the Samonais under the city begin to slowly retreat in the dissatisfied screams...

After all, the Samonets had suffered a fiasco in Diaonia, fighting the Diaonians again, and the leaders of all tribes were wary. When he was attacking the city, Badani sent a spy to the southeast and northeast. He had just received an urgent return from the spy: "In the southeast, there are many Dionian cavalry who are moving fast towards Ascuro. March, its striker is not far from here!"

"Dyonia's reinforcements come so fast!" It was only three days since the war was launched by Samona. The experience of Badani's past combat against the Greeks, the central town map of Dionia Lie is afraid that he just got the news. Maybe he is arguing about the war in the Senate. He may be rushing to mobilize his domestic citizens to participate in the war. I am afraid it will take several days, so he thinks that there should be plenty of time to attack Ascurum. But did not think that the situation suddenly turned sharply, let him be a little overwhelmed, because at this time in addition to more than a hundred guards around him, other soldiers have invested in the siege war, trying to capture the city in one fell swoop.

"Fortunately, only the cavalry. The big leader, quickly retreat back to some of the siege soldiers, organize defense!" The tribal leader next to him reminded.

"Withdraw? How to withdraw?!" Badani looked at the soldiers who were squeezing in the city under the city and fighting hard. Under the anxiety, he remembered his father’s warning before his death. He hesitated for a moment and finally said: "I am afraid The Diaonians are not just cavalry...we must retreat! Retreat immediately!!"

Seeing that Badani’s attitude is firm, the princes will not be able to attack the city even if they are victorious, even if they are victorious. .

The retreat horn blew, and the siege army began to withdraw...

Seeing several Samonna warriors jumping directly from the city, the leaders also sighed with sighs.

"Hey! Hey!..." From the south, the sound of the sorghum's army was heard, and Badani immediately became scared.

Soon, the ground began to tremble, like a giant drum beaten by countless wooden hammers, with a "rumbling" sound, accompanied by the dust of the sky.

"The Dionysian cavalry is coming!" said a Pentini leader next to Badani.

I saw countless cavalrymen wearing black helmets and black armor coming out of the dust. One of the flags was lifted high, and the flag was on the wind. The top is the pattern of Pegasus and a large Greek embroidered below. The number "four".

"Adult, the reinforcements are coming! Our reinforcements are coming!!..." The citizens cheered on the city.

Heggistus finally got a sigh of relief...

The Fourth Cavalry Corps did not directly hit the middle section of the Samonai army that was retreating. Instead, it circled under the South Wall and quickly dispersed its formation and began to attack the tail of the retreat of Samona. They took advantage of the fact that the Samonais were busy retreating, lacking effective organization, and being horrified by the Daonian cavalry’s raids. They could not achieve a collective counterattack at a time, ignoring the danger of being attacked by the other javelin. Within a distance of ten meters, re-investing in short javelins is almost a hundred and one hundred, and suddenly caused a lot of damage, leading to chaos.

Taking advantage of the enemy's chaotic machine, the cavalry then slammed the horse and finally led to the defeat of the Samonet.

Then, they are very experienced in driving these squadrons to attack the front of the Samonet.

When the panic spread rapidly in the ranks, the brave Samonai fighters also involuntarily fled with their surrounding comrades.

The retreating team was like the snow falling from the top of the mountain, and the more and more, even the team that Badani sent out to block the Dionysian cavalry was also wrapped in the fleeing crowd.

Badani finally gave up his efforts and led the guards to escape and guide the direction of the defeated soldiers.

The Fourth Cavalry Corps did not last long for the chase of the Samonna, not because the cavalry did not want to achieve greater results, but because the city of Ascurom was located on the southern bank of the upper Kalapale River. At the foot of the mountain, there are less than six or seven miles from the Lushan Mountain. Moreover, the terrain along the way is still uneven, and the Samonai crash quickly fled into the mountains. Even if the Dionian cavalry are brave, they can't ride the horses and chase the enemy in the mountains.

This short rescue battle ended. In the previous siege war and the subsequent attack by the 4th Cavalry Corps of the Republic of Dion, the Samonais suffered more than 2,000 casualties, while the Fourth Cavalry Corps suffered more than 100 casualties. Rescue the first victory in the Danny area.

Until the evening, Alexis arrived in the city of Ascuro with the Tenth Army. After all, the marching infantry marched and the horse was riding. The army set out from the Pucciti military camp and crossed the Orfanto River. Go to the Cala Pelle River, follow the flat road along the river bank, step on the road, and walk for a day before arriving in the city of Ascurom. If it is not the cavalry regiment marching fast, and rushed to the rescue in time, otherwise when the Tenth Army Corps arrives, I am afraid that the city has changed hands.

Hegsittus opened the gate to welcome the arrival of the reinforcements and expressed his gratitude to Alexis. But that's all. The Samonet's siege has caused a lot of casualties to the people of Ascurom. Heggistus is busy dealing with post-war matters this evening. It is impossible to have thoughts. Hold a banquet and entertain their savior.

Of course, Alexis would not care about this. Instead, he ordered the soldiers of the Tenth Army to help clean the battlefield, burn the bodies, and even sent medical camps to rescue the injured.

On the second day, Alexis will lead the army to continue northward. Because of the fear of leaving, the Samonai who fled into the mountains will make a comeback. He left a squad of the Tenth Army and defended the emptiness of Aspen. City of Coolum.

What Hegcitus needs to do now is to send cavalry to the east and quickly recall the large number of Ascurom people who have not escaped into the city before, in order to strengthen the garrison power of the town.

Alexis led the army to the city of Vibinum, which was surrounded by the afternoon. The Samonai army that had been besieging the city obviously knew the news of the arrival of the Daonian reinforcements. It was withdrawn early and returned to the mountains. in.

Two days later, the reinforcements arrived in the central city of the Domini area, the city of Lucerne, the wartime governor of the Duni area and the chief executive of Antonio, Antonios, the captain of the 11th Army, Capus, and Lu. The middle and high-ranking bureaucrats of the city of Senia, as well as a large number of people, went out to the city to meet, and the momentum was huge.

"Thanks to Commander Alexis for taking the time to come to the rescue, we can be saved!" Antonios said with a smile, the appointment of the governor in wartime and the trust of Daphus swept his past. Haze, even if the Samonet army is in a state of pressure, his mood in these days is still quite cheerful.

"During the war, you brought so many people to the outside of the city. In the event of a raid by the Samonet, it doesn't matter if you are captured or caught. The order in the Doni area will fall into chaos." Alexis Half-jokingly said half-heartedly.

Antonios Haha smiled and said: "With your prestigious commander, the Samonais will only hide far away, but if you haven't arrived yet, it will bring us a victory!"

Alexis said modestly: "On this land, the only name is the Majesty! You and I are all trying to fulfill their duties."

"You are right!" Antonios nodded and then stepped forward to give Alexis a strong hug: "My brother, thank you very much for your timely rescue!"

Alexis snorted and immediately responded to this warm hug. In the past few years, some small grievances between the two have completely disappeared in this hug.

At this time, the next Capps performed a military ceremony, and a rare joke said: "The commander of Alexis, the eleventh army leader Capus reported to you!"

"I said Capps, you should not scare me! The head of the army is only your part-time job, you are the military chief of the military department, we have to listen to your command, or you have to go hungry!" Alexis said With a fist in the chest of Capps, he snorted, and the commander and commander were wiped out in laughter.

Pleguulus looked at the three high-powered adults in the Kingdom of Dionia, talking and laughing, intimate, and could not help but be happy and envious.

Melishanda met to explain: "Anthony, Alexis, and Capps were fighting together in the mercenary when they were young, and they also assisted his Majesty’s smooth withdrawal from Persia. They have had friendships for decades!"

Pleagulus looked at him and asked in blunt Greek: "I heard that your father is also their comrade?"

"It is a foster father!" Melishanda solemnly corrected that he did not want others to think that he had the status of today with his father's relationship.

At this time, Alexis’s hand was pointing to them: “This is the fourth cavalry corps commander Pleugulus.”

"You don't need to be introduced, Pleagulus, I am familiar. His appointment as the head of the cavalry army was drafted by me!" Antonios said with a smile, after all, he served as the military minister. Then, he again claimed to praise: "However, Ledes has always praised you, Pulegulus, always said that 'a powerful figure in the cavalry', I still do not believe it. But now it seems that he does not Lying, you led the Fourth Cavalry Corps, won the battle of Ascurom alone, and repelled the tens of thousands of Samonai troops, amazing! Great!" ()
