v8 Chapter 202： Marching into the Samonai Mountains

"Of course I understand what they think." Daphs smiled confidently: "They want to be Roman heroes again, then I will give them this opportunity to see if their fantasy can finally be realized!"

Henipolis listened, and immediately there was no worry, and he couldn’t immediately write down the situation as an important material for his biography.

Publius is in a complicated mood. On the one hand, he fulfilled his promise for himself, but he was happy with his heart. On the other hand, he also had a heartfelt wish for Daves’s chest and heroism, and he was less struggling with the remnants of Rome. Have any hope.

In fact, what they didn't know was that Davers made this decision mainly because Davers considered several factors: First, Capitolin Hill is located in the city, and there are five or six thousand people on the mountain. Many, if you really starve to death because of food, he is afraid of causing plague, which will bring great trouble to the Dionyrian army during the war, and it is not conducive to the rapid recovery of the Roman city;

Second, the deaths of thousands of people in the urban area are too fierce. Not only does Daves feel unbearable, but I am afraid that the Romans who have returned to Dionya will have the sadness of the dead foxes of the rabbits, thus affecting the Kingdom of Dionia. Feeling is not conducive to their integration;

Third, he learned from the mouth of Pubrius that the family of most of the noble soldiers in Camilles’s army is now on the Capitoline Hill. When they are owned, Dionia is even more Good to deal with the Roman army who retreated in the city of Satnikum.

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

After obtaining the consent of Dafos, Publius once again went up the mountain and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

The next day, the people on the mountain were repatriated, and the Roman elders also allowed the soldiers of a detachment of Dionia to enter the mountain and supervise the whole process (mainly to see if the Roman veterans obeyed the agreement, leaving only 500 people).

The Roman people who came to the foot of the mountain were escorted by the Danonian soldiers (more help) to the designated place. They had sorrow on their faces, but more of a kind of relaxation. After all, the days of starvation finally passed. It is.

The Roman civilians also rushed to the square to watch the excitement. When they saw the aristocratic families they had envied in the past, they are now obsessed with sorrow and sorrow, and they are incapable of being happy.

Potitos, Marujiresis, and other Romans, and the remaining hundreds of Roman citizens stood on the top of the cliff, watching their loved ones step into the city occupied by the enemy until the entire Kapi On the hills of Tolin, the silence was restored again, and they still stood as long as a statue of stone...

For a long time, the cough of several old veterans broke the dead silence.

Big Sippia shouted at the soldiers: "Citizens, then we have to hold it all our way! Hold the temple of our Romans! Wait... Wait for the last victory!"

"吼!!!..." The soldiers roared in unison, and the snoring was more tragic.

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

Aquilonia, one of the three major towns of Hilpini (the other two are Beneventoum and Abe Niroom), located in the city of Vinosa in the Pucciti region of the Kingdom of Dionia More than 50 miles northwest (this is only a straight distance, in fact the distance to walk is doubled), the southwestern side of Asturum in the Domini area is less than 50 miles away. The Pini people invaded the advancing base of the lowland area of ​​Apulia (including this time), and it also benefited from it, becoming the strongest tribal joint settlement in the southeastern part of the Hilpini territory, and also became the Hilpini tribe. A powerful barrier to the southwest.

Its city is built on a hill of up to 500 meters. It is surrounded by mountains with an average height of about 300 meters. Don't talk about the attack. It takes a lot of effort for the army to get there.

Since Alexis was determined to take Akullonia, he naturally made some careful preparations. He transferred the light infantry and light armored brigade of the 11th Army, and then added the two heavy infantry of the 10th Army. The brigade and the light armor, the light infantry brigade, plus the engineering camp, the medical camp, the heavy camp, the mountain survey team, a total of more than 6,000 people, and a large number of squadrons, carrying a dozen of the army The food of the day, as well as the ten Abeniya Roma sent by Gerni as guides.

When it was just dawn, he led the army from Venosa and headed north to the south bank of the Ovanto River. Then, along the Ovanto Valley, heading upstream, the troops marched smoothly, without being attacked by the Samonet.

It is also understandable that in the first two battles, the Samonais were seriously wounded, and now they are focusing on the main attack on the Campania League. There are still many young people who can fight in the entire territory. Therefore, the smooth march of this road has allowed Alexis to strengthen the confidence of Aquilonia.

In the afternoon, the Dionysian army arrived at a river bay on the upper reaches of the River Avento, which coincided with the intersection of Orvanto and a larger tributary, so the terrain was flat and the area was relatively wide and just in time. The distance of the south side of Aquirónia is ten miles away. This is also the selected campsite for Alexis to know the surrounding terrain before the departure of the Abeniyarum, because the north side of this river bay It also faces the narrow lowlands between the mountains (the height of this lowland is also several tens of meters), through which you can approach the mountains where Aquironia is located.

So he ordered the army to hurry to build a camp on the south bank of the river bay.

The soldiers of the whole army immediately began to act according to the prior division of labor: the engineers investigated the surrounding terrain and determined the main area; the soldiers used sickles and axes to cut off the weeds in the area, cut off the trees, and then level the ground. The wooden fence... The most important thing is to burn off the thatched grass in the swamp area on the shore and smoke the mosquitoes hidden in it. Fortunately, the River Ovanto is not a big river, and it is rarely flooded. Therefore, the swamp area of ​​the river bay is small, but the smoke of the fire will surely attract the attention of the surrounding Samonet tribe, but in order to ensure adequate rest for the soldiers. Healthy, with enough physical strength and energy to cope with the next tough battle, Alexis thinks it is worth it.

In order to initially build a camp and lay the foundation for the next attack, Alexis also made people fire around the camp to light the hard work of the soldiers.

The soldiers also know that there is no other place here. The terrain is unfamiliar and complicated. There are not only beast snakes and worms in the mountains, but also fierce enemies. Therefore, there is no need for the team officers to urge them. They are not tired of building camps because they know that only the camps are built. They can sleep well in this dangerous mountain.

After the evening, the camp began to take shape: the wooden fence was built on the outside, and a circle of Luzhai was simply built outside the wooden fence. Inside the wooden fence, the four corners of the camp set up a patchwork whistle, and the camp was neatly arranged. Rectangular tents, these tarpaulins stitched with animal skin are both strong and cover a large area, can completely cover the space inside the tent, not only can prevent snake bites, but also can block wind, rain and snow. Each tent can accommodate a small team of soldiers to rest, which is the same as the military camp in the territory of the legion, so that extremely acquainted comrades can relax in a strange battlefield environment, sleep quickly, and facilitate the management of the team leader.

A brigade occupies an area in the camp, and there is a large gap between the tent area of ​​another brigade. The six brigades are arranged in a circle, and the medical camp, the engineering camp, and the camp are surrounded by the camp. The beasts in the scent are heavy and noisy, so they are often arranged on one side of the camp. But this time because the camp is not perfect, the defense is weak, and it is vulnerable to attack on the outside of the camp, and the battle in the mountains is difficult. The beast is of paramount importance. At the very center of the camp is the commander’s big account. A large brazier stands outside the big account. The burning flame keeps the team officers and soldiers in the camp even in the dark. Find where the commander is.

While the soldiers were building the camp, Alexis arranged a company to rest fully. When the soldiers of the whole army began to sleep, the company began to stand guard, whistle and patrol the camp in the dark.

La Caseis, Mesapi, the hero of the flag of Turui on the Triumphal two years ago, is now a company commander. As the company's chief officer tonight He asked his four teams to be responsible for the station's four directions in the north, south, north and south. He also solemnly smashed the four team leaders: "Be sure to open your eyes." Observed all the abnormalities outside the camp, and immediately reported the situation! If anyone carelessly even slacks, I will be punished by military law, and will never be merciless!"

After scheduling the mission, he personally followed the first patrol patrol camp north because he knew there was a high probability of enemies in this direction.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers have already entered the dreamland, but the camp is not quiet. The wandering in the mountains, the frogs in the river, the birds in the swamp, the insects in the grass. The sound of singing and flowing water... This is the most beautiful melody of nature.

But this harmony will soon break, the waterfowl panicked and slammed the water, the frog stopped alerting and stopped, and the river sounded noisy footsteps across the river...

"Let the captain, there are enemies!" the soldier reminded him at the whistle.

"Don't worry, see how many enemies!" Lake Lasis said calmly. He couldn't disturb the commander's rest because there were only a few enemies. It would only leave Alexis. Immaculate impression.
