v8 Chapter 107： After the storm

In the barracks, Lizaru saw Printors, and he immediately greeted the staff officer who helped him win in Campania.

"Okay, gossip and say later, let's quickly discuss how to complete the task assigned by His Majesty." Amintas urged.

"How is the situation in Latin now?" Lizaru asked first. This is the basic quality that a senior Dionian commander should have. If you don't understand the surrounding situation and don't understand the enemy, there is no way to win. of.

Therefore, Amintas did not think that he was pointing at the map and seriously explained: "Since the Romans attacked the Helsinkis last month, they have successively conquered many towns. Now they have already turned to Herni. The central town of Fiji, Fiorentrum, was completely under siege and is intensifying its attack. Its strength has increased from 40,000 to 70,000. According to the Wolsey, the situation of Feren Tirum is very critical. It’s not been a few days. Once the town is lost, not only the Helsnikis are finished, but the Wolsey people will also suffer serious losses because the Worthy sent a large number of soldiers to rescue Helsinki. Trapped in the city of Feren Tirum, so the forces in the territory of Walsie are already very empty, relying on our first legion to help them."

Lizaru stared at the map for a while before pointing to the north side of the Wolsey Territory and asked: "Since the Roman army is focusing on the Helsinkis, the defense here must be empty."

"The citizens of these Latin allies in the west of Rome have been transferred to attack Al-Heriki. There are really not many troops, but here! Here! There are also 10,000 Roman troops stationed here!" Amintas with fingers I clicked on the map three times.

Lizaru looked closely at the names of the three city icons: Villitre, Satnikum and Antiuum, who intercepted the passage to the Latin region on the northwest of Wall.

Lizzaru estimated it and was surprised: "The Romans actually formed such a huge army?!"

"According to the Wolsey people, this time Rome not only mobilized all of its young and middle-aged citizens, but also provided all the Latin allies and the northern Etruscan allies with many reinforcements, so it is doing its best. With this war, I think this is why Malay’s pro-independence led the army to solve the Romans first!” Printos emphasized.

"But there are these three cities blocking the road. If you want to attack one of them, it will not be a day or two to succeed. I am afraid that the offensive plan will be delayed." Lizaru pointed at the map and said with anxiety.

"Are you stupid!" Amintas bluntly criticized: "We don't need to attack them at all. We just need to circumvent them and enter the coastal areas of Latin, and protect the army of the Majesty to land on the coast." ""

Lizaru, who had just thought about getting into the corner of the horn, smirked his head and smiled. He pondered for a while and said, "If you do this, you can only let the soldiers carry the rations, leaving the auxiliary troops in the military camp. To ensure that the march is fast, and in case of an enemy interception, it can also quickly fight, but this way... Our military camp, and even the entire Walsi territory, is completely open to the Romans!"

Printoles smiled and said: "This is not too worrying. Once our army has successfully landed, the entire Latin region will be nervously guarding our offense. Where else will we invade Worthy! And we will also arrange military camps. The other people went to Serre, took the fleet and turned the newly occupied land on the army."

Lizaru no longer had concerns, and eagerly asked: "When do we act?!"

"Just wait for the troops to arrive in the Latin region by boat, but before that, we have to negotiate with the Wolsey executives and need them to provide some help for this offensive."

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

"The news that the battle of Serinus was finally smashed by the storm and the warships of both sides were almost completely annihilated" spread throughout the Sasily West the next morning, and the Carthage army commander Pomilka learned this. The bad news, shocked, and dispatched the messenger, quickly sent the news back to Carthage by the Clippers, and informed the coastal city-states to search and rescue on the coast of the territory, and sent the survivors to Lilitun.

In the Camp of Dionynia outside the city of Sellinus, it was overcrowded, not only was the tent full of survivors of the shipwreck, but the passages and open spaces outside the tent were also covered with struggling crew members; Outside the camp is a densely packed, white-flowered body or a person who has not yet been determined to die or stun. The doctors and nurses have been treated for more than ten hours and continue to be busy; and more than 20,000 Daonian Legion and its Allied soldiers are also fully assisting the medical camp to save their compatriots and naval comrades.

In the big account, Leo Tiddides, who has been busy until now and staying asleep, sat on a wooden chair and listened to the report of the adjutant Mukhlu. Even though he was very tired, he still had a straight back.

"Commander adults, from last night to the present, our soldiers have found about 150,000 human bodies on the coast. About 100,000 people have been rescued. Among them, there are more than 6,100 people in the Diaonians, confirming the death. There are 29,379 crew members in Dionia..." Mukhlu holds a scoreboard, and every time he reads a set of numbers, his heart is a mad jump. The back of these huge numbers means the disappearance of countless once-lived lives, one family. Cry and cry...

Leo Tikides did not seem to respond much to this. After listening to the report of the adjutant, he still looked blank and quickly asked: "How many people are there in our Sicilian fleet?"

Mukhlu thought about it and said with uncertainty: "According to the last time the squid was collected in the Sino fleet in Minoa, they may have 11-12 thousand people..."

Leo Tizides estimated in his heart and said: "So we have up to 30,000 crew members not found."

"They are likely to float to the coast controlled by the Carthaginians, or to the coast of the Allies. This requires us to contact the South Coast cities such as Minoa and Agrigento in the next few days. Detailed situation," Mukhlu said.

Leo Tizides nodded, and then he lamented: "The Navy is really a young and middle-aged citizen who consumes the kingdom. This storm has caused us to lose tens of thousands of people, enough for us to build five or six legions. !"

Muklu opened the way: "Adult, but we also easily captured nearly 40,000 Carthage or Phoenicians. If it is a normal battle, how many battles will it take to have so many captives."

Leo Tiddides listened, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his sharp eyes looked at Mukru unscathed, until the other party bowed his head, he slowly asked: "Secley and Flarios did you find it?"

"...I haven't got the news yet..." Mukhlu looked blank.

"Continue to send people to look for, don't give up. And we have to entrust Shelufennis to send spies to the city-state of Carthage in the west to inquire about the news." Until this time, there was a wave of volatility on the face of Leo Tikides: " I heard that Sekeley has a good water quality. When he was young, he once crossed the raging Krati River. He should not be so easily killed in the sea."

"Yes, the commander is an adult."

"What else is there?"

"Well... The medical camp reminded that there are too many dead bodies inside and outside the camp. If the parking time is too long, the body will rot, which will easily lead to epidemic."

"As long as they are sure of death, they will all be cremation, and the living sailors will bring their ashes back to the fleet base of Catania or Tarantum, as the ashes of the Carthaginians are buried. Leo Tizides said, remembering something, and said with aggravating tone: "This matter should be done immediately, so that these living sailors can return to their own residence as soon as possible, avoiding the consumption of our food in vain, but those fleets." The infantry will stay and fight with us."

Leo Tizides had long watched the infantry in the Sicilian fleet. He had seen their military training in Catania, and believed that their military quality was not weaker than the regular soldiers of the Eighth Army, and that the Sicilian fleet was destroyed. When Sekelly and Fralios have no news, they will be integrated into their own team to enhance their strength.

Mukhlu has not responded yet, and Leotizides emphasized: "And... take out 10,000 young and powerful sailors from the navy give them spears, temporarily Fill our light infantry."

Mukru was amazed. He euphemistically reminded: "The commander is not allowed by the military department. You have transferred the naval fleet infantry. It is already illegal and the sailors will be reorganized. I am afraid the Navy will be dissatisfied with this."

Leo Tizides did not agree. He said in a deep voice: "We are now deep into the sphere of influence of Carthage. Not only the supply line is stretched, but the enemy will also counterattack at any time. The Sicilian fleet has all gone. We provide the protection of the coastline. We fight alone. If we do not strengthen our strength, we may be in trouble at any time. The Sicily Navy has no ship to play its role. It is better to let the idle sailors and fleet infantry temporarily give me the command. This is a special period, I believe that And the military department will understand my approach!"

As an adjutant, Mukhlu can only remind him that since Leo Tiddides insisted on doing it, he could only perform it, and then he immediately turned the topic to other aspects: "Adult, and the 40,000 Carthage prisoners." Disposal?"

"For the time being, stay in the first place and deal with the prisoners in the past." Leo Tiddides said indulgently: "The Carthaginians must have our sailors there, and they can exchange them with them."
