v8 Chapter 197： Boundary support

Camilles’s expression on his face was not changed. He deflected his head and asked, “Titus, what do you think about the current situation?”

"The dictator is an adult." Titus looked dignified. He looked at other people and hesitated. Then he said, "I think... this may be a conspiracy of the Dionys!"

When the words came out, the other officials were surprised. Only Camilles did not look.

Titus’s explanation of anxiety is: “We had sent reinforcements under the repeated pleadings of the messengers in the city of Gabi. Now the troops of the Latin League have gathered here, but the Diaonians have not attacked Gabi in a big way. Instead, it is building and strengthening the camp, which looks more like waiting for us to attack.

If the Diaonians never attack the city of Gaby, it is likely to cause long-term stalemate, and the situation will be against us, because the soldiers of the Allies will be dissatisfied with us; if we choose to attack directly, the Diaonians even Just sticking to the camp will leave us at a disadvantage of offense, and don't forget to attack the hard lessons of the city of Ostia! But if we retire in this way, we will lose our prestige in the Latin League..."

"But... even if we first knew that this was a plan of the Dionys, we had to send reinforcements! Who told us that we are the ally of the Latin League, according to the covenant, have the responsibility to defend the security of their territories, in the current predicament Next, we cannot lose the trust of these allies..."

Camillaus sighed, and the wood on his face made the generals not see the fluctuations in his heart: since the Dionyrians attacked the Latin area, his army has been passive and step by step. In fact, there has not been a positive battle with the Dionyrian army. It has already fallen into the predicament of today. The king of Dionia is really a terrible person!

"Since the Dionyns want us to take the initiative to attack, then we will attack, but we must have reservations..." Camillaus finally said.

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

"Your Majesty, the Roman army has already been dispatched!"

"Fast! Immediately notify Amintas, Olivers, Ledes and Kuchius, gather their corps, wait for my orders, and be ready to attack!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"And, immediately send a fast horse to inform Prinister and Signia!"

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

"The generals, the Roman army has left Thurst, and is coming to us." Printos's words made several heads of the army look happy.

"This big fish is finally hooked up, and our hard work in these days has not been in vain!" Trotilla said excitedly.

"This time, we have to return the grievances that were forced to retreat in Ostia!" Mattonis was full of pride.

"It is best to leave the Roman army here completely, and the battle will be better!" The temporary commander of the reserve brigade, Epiphane, has a bigger appetite and wants to go further.

"Sexus Captain, do you have any suggestions?" Printos looked at the only silent general in the big account.

Calling Syxtus as the captain, in fact, the number of Roman reserve members of the Roman civilians has now exceeded 6,000. Sextus is in the position of the captain, and the head of the army is alive, but Rome The reserve team is only temporarily prepared and will be cancelled at the end of the war. Although Daves already had the idea of ​​building a legion in Rome, Syxtus was temporarily unable to serve as the head of the army, and even the captain of the legion was embarrassed. After all, he did not understand Dionia. The military system and tactics need to be rebuilt to make the soldiers convinced.

"I have no opinion, please order the commander!" Sykestus said in a deep voice.

The Croto Kataks, who stood by, looked at the Roman who was only a few years older than himself. He could appreciate the feelings of Sextus at the moment, but as his father said to him: only Let these Romans participate in the battle, they can break their embarrassment of the past.

Printors coughed, then stared at the crowd, and said loudly: "You generals, please follow the previous deployment to meet the enemies!"

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

Tstron was less than 30 miles from Gabbi, but the Roman army did not move fast. After noon they arrived at the Camp of Dionya, then the sound of the army and the drums made it to the city of Gabi. The defenders were very excited after hearing it: "The Roman reinforcements are coming!!!"

However, the Roman coalition forces did not immediately launch a fierce attack on the camp. The army temporarily stopped moving forward. The soldiers began to eat rations to replenish the physical strength previously consumed. Then the soldiers began to slowly approach the camp in a loose queue.

The Roman coalition soldiers walked cautiously and seemed to be searching for traps on the ground. In fact, the Dionysian military camp had no other defense facilities except for trenches, whistle buildings, wooden walls.

At the rear of the team, the temporary commander of the army, Titus, repeated the squad leader of the squad: "Let your men have their eyes wide open. Once you find an abnormality around the battlefield, immediately return, especially in the direction of the city of Rome! ”

Half an hour later, the Roman coalition soldiers approached the trench and the battle began.

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

"Notify the troops, prepare to leave the city!" Daves in the south of the city of Rome issued an order.

"Your Majesty, the messenger sent by Plintos just said that the Romans' offensive was not fierce and did not put the main force into the offensive. Are we waiting any longer?" Tormmid reminded.

"It’s been a long time since the Roman attack. It’s going to be like this for a long time.” Daves said firmly: "Why, there has been action, and it is possible to be perceived by the Romans at any time." Missed this time, the Romans will not be fooled again!"

"Understood, Your Majesty." When Tolmed responded, the three heads of Amintas, Olivers, and Lizaru had turned to the lower city.

Davers looked at the last head of the army, solemnly said: "Gio Gris, then the security in the city will be handed over to you, you have to help Assisi, control the city of Rome!"

"Please rest assured!" Gio Gris's legs together, the right fist "砰" on the left chest.

Davers reached out and patted Giorgios's shoulders hard, then turned to the city.

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

In the big account of the Roman military camp, sitting in Camilos, Lucius and Quintus.

At this time, Quintus is complaining to Camillas: "I am really ignorant of the dictator, since you have decided to give up the Gabi and withdraw the army, why should you attack the enemy camp and let us be valuable? Soldiers are lost in vain?!"

"We need to let the allies know that the Romans did not give up on them and will still fight for them... although this will make us pay some casualties, but it is worth it..." Camilles explained.

"In fact, we still gave up on them!" Quintus still looked dissatisfied: "When we withdraw from Satnikum, Gabi City will soon be captured by the Diaonians, and other Latin allies are not. Will not lose confidence in us?!"

Camillaus was silent for a while and whispered: "... At least we have made an effort, how much can give them some confidence... The Diaonians are cautious, they have always attacked Rome with big troops. The towns, never dispersing forces, looting everywhere... It’s impossible to have too high hopes with our current strength, only to hold on to the three colonial cities of Villitre, Satnikum and Antiuum. In order to wait for the change of the situation, then join the Latin allies and attack the Diaonians!..."

"What is the change in the situation?" Quintus frowned.

"Yesterday, Pantius in Antibes sent someone to tell me that a Phoenician fishing boat had intercepted the Dionya warship and entered the port, bringing a message, 'Carthage The hospital appointed Ma Ge as the military commander, will lead the army of no less than 100,000, and once again attack Sicily!" Camilles said, the volume is unconsciously higher.

"100,000 troops!" Kuntus heard the first gratification, and then frowned. He said in an angry voice: "Carthage sent a large army to attack Sicily before, but did not give the Dionian how much. The pressure is defeated, but it makes us make a wrong judgment. We are in today's situation The Carthage people should pay the greatest responsibility! Now the Carthaginians have launched an offensive, we Still don't rely too much on them!"

The words of Quintus made Camillaus feel a pain in his heart. When he made a mistake in the judgment of the situation, he should bear the main responsibility. Quintus was concealing his dissatisfaction with him.

Luchius did not allow others to attack his father like this, and immediately said loudly: "Kuntus, don't forget, support my father's proposal, 'concentrate the force, quickly eliminate the Helsinki in a short time. 'You are the most active one!... Now the Carthaginians can attack Sicily again. Isn't it good news for us?! Is it true that you have a better way to quickly change our predicament? And this time the commander of the Carthagin army is Ma Ge, he is an experienced General Carthage, and he hates the Greeks very much, he will never give mercy to the Diaonians!..."

"Well, you two should not be noisy." Camilleus waved his hand: "Kuntus is right. We can't blindly trust Carthage, we have to watch the development of the war..."

"Now, the enemy of the city of Rome has come out, our purpose has been reached, and the army should have retreated." Camillaus continued without hesitation: "Titus knows what to do."
