v8 Chapter 249： Alesia

But he also knows that Alenia is not good at attacking. According to the information he learned from the intelligence department, the city has more than 3,000 civic soldiers and a 67-meter-high wall. Once the battle takes place, according to the city, For the third fleet with only 6,000 fleet infantry, it will cost a lot to attack.

Moreover, Midolades is good at naval battles and has no experience in land warfare.

Midolades knew his ability, so he did not act blindly, but convened his men to discuss.

The commander of the infantry infantry, Meontied, put forward his own suggestion: that is, to lure Ariania's civic soldiers out of the city and destroy them, thus weakening the power of defending the city, and then it is easy to attack the city. (There are four fleet infantry chiefs in the Dionysian army sequence. They belong to the four major fleets and are the No. 2 of the fleet. They need to follow the command of the fleet, have peacetime management, and train all fleets of the fleet. Infantry, the power to command the troops to land on the coast to attack the enemy's territory during the war, the number of infantry infantry under his jurisdiction is not fixed, depending on the number of crow ships in their fleet.), and lure The solution is to dress up as an Etruscan pirate and attack the silver mines in Alenia.

For centuries, the two most famous pirate groups on the Italian peninsula are the Elyrians of the Adriatic on the east coast and the Etruscans on the west coast. Unlike the Elias, the pirates were mainly for survival. The Etruscan pirates were originally formed privately by the Etruscan city-state. In order to combat the ongoing colonization of the Italian peninsula, it began to threaten Etrus. The Greeks who were hegemonic in the north-central part of Italy, with the weakening of the Greek-Western Mediterranean colonial wave and the determination of the final sphere of influence of both sides, the Etruscan pirates were significantly reduced.

But 30 years ago, the Etruscan pirates increased again, not because of the official organization, but because the Celts in northern Italy began to invade south and seize the land of the Etruscans. In particular, more than a decade ago, the Celtic army swept the entire Etruscan territory and even captured Rome. Many Etruscans fled to the sea and became pirates. Even if the Gauls lost, there are still Some Etruscans have tasted the sweetness of nothing and want to continue to plunder the west coast of Italy.

However, during this period, due to the establishment of the third fleet of the Dionynia, the cruising of the Kingdom of Dionia and its allies was strengthened. The Etruscan pirates that were hit hard were once again greatly reduced, and they could only be contracted on the west coast of Italy. In the north, I dare not go south. Although Carthage had once formed an alliance with Etruscan, and still maintains a tacit agreement of neighboring and non-aggression, Alenia has not been attacked by Etruscan pirates in the past.

After the adoption of the recommendations of Meandid, Midorades began to prepare carefully, and he even went to the newly occupied Etruscan city of Kesera to learn more about the Etruscan pirates. In the same situation, several Etruscan cargo ships and their soldiers’ armor weapons were borrowed.

Two days later, dozens of warships of the 3rd Fleet were full of fleet soldiers, quietly leaning on the beach between Alenia and the Etruscan town of Mariana in the north, 4,000 fleets at nightfall. The infantry landed ashore and sneaked into the mountains.

On the second day, several Etruscan vessels suddenly broke into the offshore of Alenia and climbed to the northern beaches of Alenia. More than 200 “Etruscan pirates” landed ashore and rushed to the shore. Alynia is a famous silver mine in the mountains of the northwest.

Since the arrival of the Daonian army in the Latin region, the Alenians have been fearful, but after a month or two, the Daonian army did not land in Corsica, even offshore. Can't see the traces of the Veonia warships, the Alenians temporarily put their hearts down, they think that the Dionysian army is still caught in the war with Rome, I did not expect the evil at this time The Ruria pirates have emerged, and they have to plunder a large silver mine in Alenia, which is an important source of income for the Ariane treasury.

After the detailed exploration of the Clippers, there were no other anomalies in the offshore area. Considering the difficulties of the Etruscan pirates, in order to be safe, the Carthage of Alenia decided to solve them as soon as possible and avoid them. Other accidents occurred, and the City Hall was quickly urged to convene 800 Alenia civic soldiers. He led the army out of the city and quickly rushed to the location of the silver mine.

When they attacked the Etruscan pirates who were looting the silver mines, 4,000 fleet infantry suddenly appeared behind them and surrounded them.

The Alenia army was quickly defeated, and the Carthage was killed and the soldiers were either killed or arrested.

The fleet infantry first separated their detachment and interrogated them, and then joined them together in the direction of the beach. On the way, the Alesia captives in front of the team suddenly launched a riot, and the soldiers who escorted them were knocked down. Then the **** and filthy prisoners on their faces returned and saved other companions.

Suddenly, the entire **** team was in chaos. Many Alesians seized the opportunity to take the opportunity to escape. When the fleet infantry calmed the riots, more than 200 prisoners fled to the city of Alenia.

As a result, the fleet soldiers began to catch up.

The captives fled without fear of fatigue, fled to the city, and hysterically shouted: "Quickly open the door!! The Daonians are coming!! Open the door!!..."

For centuries, under the protection of Carthage, the Alenians, in addition to sometimes playing pirates, have lived a life of peace and tranquility. Suddenly heard the news that the "Daeonias are killed", the defenders of the city. They are all overwhelmed. When they see the compatriots under the city who are not well-dressed and look like they are screaming, they are all familiar people, and the dust in the distance is rolling, obviously the enemy is approaching quickly.

So they opened the gate without hesitation, and urged the deserters to come in quickly.

The captives just ran into the city, and the dozens of fleet infantry hidden in them took out the short sword tied to the back and hidden by the loose lining, and stabbed the captives around them.

The gate of the city suddenly fell into chaos, causing a blockage and could not be closed immediately.

The large units of the fleet infantry then rushed to the city and smashed into the city...

After a period of fighting in the city, Alenia was captured.

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

At dusk, the heavy and low army sounds outside the city of Satnikum, and the Diaonian soldiers who are attacking the city recede like tides.

In the big account in the military camp, Tormide is reporting to Davers: "Your Majesty, we have been attacking the city of Satnikum in these days. The Roman defense is quite tenacious, making our attack fail. With any progress, the casualties of the soldiers are close to 3,000, and the hardships of the days have made the soldiers feel exhausted and their morale is low."

"Tormid, you are not right, the morale of the brothers is still very high, they are eager to attack the city and avenge the dead comrades! And we have casualties, the casualties of the Romans are not small, they are more than us. There are fewer, and after a few more attacks, they can't stand it!" Amintas retorted loudly.

Tolmide did not argue, just looking at Davers.

Davers looked pale and his fingers tapped on the table.

After a while, he said: "The Romans are different from other enemies. They are disciplined and tenacious, no less than our Legionnaires. And their commander Camilles is very capable. In the past few days, they are in defense. The sudden attack made us a lot of trouble.

For a tenacious army, the more violent our attacks, the more fierce the resistance will be. And Tolmide is right. How many big battles our soldiers have made in a few months since they landed in Latin, siege wars, assaults, chase wars... in just a few Within a month, killing Rome and conquering such a large territory is a slowdown! The soldiers are all long, not iron, even iron, after constant impact, they will bend... So, I decided to stop the siege from tomorrow and continue to besieged Satnikum.

I see... the last time I played a football game in Rome, I was very popular with the soldiers. I can continue the football and football games in the camp. I will expand the scope of the game and start the competition between the teams of the various legions. The winning team is participating in the confrontation of the various legions. Whether it is the team that won the final victory within the legion or the team that won the championship between the legions, they will be rewarded with great rewards, so that the soldiers can relax and be happy. ”

One talk about the favorite sports of the Legionnaires Several heads of the army are smiling, even claiming to be.

According to the military concept of the Romans, war is the most important event concerning the survival of the city. The citizens gathered in the levy and returned to the enemy. They always did their best. They never had to play games in the camp, but since After the last time he participated in the competition, Sextus has always been fascinated by this new game. At this moment, he is also full of joy. He also specifically asked: "Your Majesty, do you still play with us this time?!" (according to Seck Stewart’s military position, he could not have appeared in the Dever’s military conference, but now the Roman reserve team has become a force to be reckoned with in the Dionyrian army, whether for military considerations or Political considerations, every time Daves holds a military conference, he must let him to inform him.)

"This is absolutely impossible!" Mattonis loudly expressed his opposition and his attitude was extremely determined: "Your Majesty, you can't participate, otherwise the other legions can't play seriously!"

"Reassured, this time I only serve as an audience." Daphus smiled at the eager red-faced Matonis and looked at the disappointing Sexus: "However, the reserve soldiers are not quite good at playing." Rugby, as for football, it’s even worse. It’s not fair for your army to compete with them...”
