v8 Chapter 210： Marching to Beneventum

Neausius, the chief general of Naples, raised a letter in his left hand and said with excitement: "You, I just received a letter from the CEO of Enona, Adrians, who mentioned in his letter, 'Daily yesterday The commander of the Nigerian army, Alexis, led the army from the east into the mountainous area of ​​Samone, and merged the troops of Potentia and Abenimum, and together surrounded the ones of the Samonais in the mountains. The main force of nearly 7,000 people also forced Akullonia to surrender'... Today, this 20,000-strong Dionysian coalition has arrived in Abeniyarum and is preparing to go to Beneto tomorrow. Ventum launched the attack!"

"Great, our disaster is finally over! Bereven they are the central town of Hilpiny, and the Samonna coalition outside the city will certainly withdraw, to defend against the attacks of our allies!"

"I am right, the Diaonians have always kept their promises and will definitely come to help us in Campania. You still don't believe it, now?"

"Haha, General Ealos, please forgive us for our ignorance, because we don't have to fight side by side with the Dionysian army, and have a deeper understanding of them. How can we want to get the help from Dionia? The delay in responding is to suddenly slap on the soft belly of the Samonet!"

"General Ornosius, after the retreat of the Samonet, hope that Naples can immediately send troops to help us recapture Pompeii!"

"No! We should help us Herculaneum first, we are closest to Naples!"

"And we have liternum!"

......

After getting this good news, the haze in the Napoli meeting was swept away these days. Everyone was happy to rebuild their homes and began to argue.

In the days after the Samonets raided the Campania League, they were not only besieging Naples, but also the army attacking other Campania city-states, except for Sorentom and Anari. Aaaria, capeace and other cities with relatively special geographical locations, many coastal towns have fallen, and most of the refugees have fled to the city of Naples.

"You don't have to worry." Onofrios comforted them and said: "Adriennes mentioned in the letter that the leader of the Dionia Army, who is stationed in Enona tomorrow, will lead the army by boat. Naples, join our army and recover the lost towns together!"

The crowd cheered again and praised: Dionia is a good ally that keeps its promises and thinks too thoughtfully! With the presence of the Dionysian army, they are more confident in regaining their own city-states!

Then, Onosius said: "The letter also mentions that when the Samonna army retreats, I hope that we can send troops to harass and hinder them..."

Upon hearing this, the hall suddenly recovered quietly.

A moment later, the lawmakers in Naples shook their heads and said: "Let us go out to attack the Samonai?! No! No! This is too dangerous! Since the Samonets want to retreat, let them retreat, we have not It is necessary to take the life of a citizen to take risks!"

If a third legion of the Dionysian team helped the Campania League to defeat the Kautini a few months ago to help the Campanias get back a little fighting spirit, then this time the Samonai’s massive assault not only would The fighting spirit was crushed, and they also deepened their fear of this terrible mountain race.

Ofnorius is certainly aware of this situation, because he is also one of them, but Ealos and them loudly argued.

Onosius had to cough a few times and re-engaged everyone's attention to himself: "I want to bring you to the attention, the Samonais retreat, in order to vent their anger, it is very likely that they will burn the towns they occupied and burn us. Farmland, do we want to stop?!"

In fact, this reminder came from Adrians. After being the chief executive of Enona for more than two years and having dealt with the Campanias many times, he was very clear about the virtues of the Campanias. They are far from being comparable to the brave and fertile Wolsey and the Helsinki, so in the letter he did not say that the retreating army of Samona was to let Alexis attack Benevenum. Time, but only highlights this point.

Everyone was stunned. The refugees of other city-states certainly did not allow their homes to be burned, while the Neapolitans were more worried about the destruction of farmland. They had been supplying the dynasty of the third legion of the Dionynia some time ago, and this time they had to take care of the escape. The ambassadors, the food in Naples, the food in the city, can not hope that the drought-stricken Dionia, are watching this autumn harvest.

Although the Kautini people invaded in the past and rarely destroyed farmland, they were confident that “the food produced by these farmland will eventually become the property of their next looting”, but under the current situation, it is difficult to protect They will not jump into the wall and create more trouble for the Campania League.

Therefore, after the urgent deliberation, the Neapolitan parliamentarians finally agreed to Adrians’s proposal.

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

Beneventoum, the largest town in the Samonai tribal alliance. Although the Samonais are mountainous, there are still a few that repair the town on the top of the mountain like Aguironia. More than half of the tribes and tribes are living in valleys and mountains. Benedictum is situated in a large, relatively flat hill surrounded by mountains, and it is a place where the two rivers gather, so there is plenty of water and fertile land in the towns of Samona. Whether it is grazing or planting, it is the most developed.

Therefore, Beneventuum has always been at the forefront of the Samonai tribal alliance, both in terms of population and strength. Most of the time, the tribal leaders in their territories are the chiefs of the Hilpini tribe, only a few At the time, other Hilpine tribes hated Beneventum’s riches and dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Benedictines, and they would work together to lead the leaders of other regions to serve as the chiefs of the tribes to counter Benetintum. Benirum is the first choice.

The town of Hilpini is located about 40 miles south of Beneventoum. It is also a hilly area, but the area is much smaller. There is also a river passing through, but this is not a big one. The Beto River eventually flowed into the territory of Benevenvent and merged into the Voltuno River.

Therefore, the Abeniyarums are always consciously shorter than the Benedictines, even during the reign of the former Prime Minister of Hilpiny, the superior leader of Abenimrom, Vernon. The Abeniyarum people still feel a little under-reported, and for the past ten years they have endured the bullying of the Beneventuum.

Until the early morning of this morning, the Dionyrian coalition left Abenimum and began to march into the territory of Beneventum. The Abeniyarum talents rejoiced to say goodbye to them, and they believed that their days of revenge were finally arrived.

3,500 Abeniyarum warriors headed for the top, with 6,000 Legion soldiers in Dionia, followed by 12,000 soldiers in Potentia, not counting the construction camps in Dionia The medical battalion, the mountain squad, and the squadrons of the squadron... The combat troops reached 2,1,500, and they were lined up in a dozen miles, marching north along the Sabato River.

After the Abenimum territory, the enemy appeared in the mountains above the river banks on both sides. Although they were not many, they were condescending, throwing javelins and arrows at the Dionyrian coalition marching in the valley. Even the rock on the mountain was pushed down into the river to stop the march of the entire team.

Seeing this situation, after Alexis and Gernier and Pollard negotiated, they sent 1,000 soldiers each, left the river bank, marched up to the forests on both sides of the strait, and drove the enemies to attack the enemy to protect the middle. Large force. While the main force is marching in the valley, from time to time, it clears the rocks and broken trees that block the road.

When the sun had reached the middle of the sky, the meandering river suddenly became straight, and the mountains that stood on the river were not only short, but also consciously retreated a mile away. The soldiers’ eyes were no longer leafy. The towering trees are blocked by the flat land on both sides of the river bank. The green grass and the small trees of the mother-in-law... The Danonian army has entered the territory of Benevenvent.

The terrain here is somewhat special Two rows of north-south rolling hills are like two parallel lines, guarding the Sabato River and extending forward. The hills are flat grasses with a width of about two miles. In the center of the grass, the Sabato River, which is only 20 meters wide and has no water depth.

The coalition’s leading troops stopped marching here, and the Abeniyarum fighters who had been trekking for a long time began to eat to replenish their strength while waiting for the troops to come back.

"The next five or six miles is the city of Beneventoum." Gailny pointed to the front and said to Alexis and Pole, who had arrived in the past: "In the past, this land was all shellfish." The settlements of the various tribes of Neventum are now withdrawn..."

Gailny introduced the situation in the territory of Benedictum, but he couldn’t help but feel sorrowful: in fact, most of his impressions of Beneventum stayed more than a decade ago, since the South Italian War, he The relationship with Lerguk was ruined, and eventually became a deadly enemy. The only time he had been to Benevenvent, but the tribal alliance held a big sacrifice here. If it was not the support of the Danish messenger, he was almost The Samonet priests gave punishment to God, and they were frightened and frightened, and there was still a mood to pay attention to the changes in the territory of Benedictum. All he introduced now is the information collected from these years. Now he is coming from the army, to thoroughly wash away the humiliation of the past, and to clear the shadow buried in the bottom of my heart.
