v8 Chapter 314： Syracuse falls

Because of his injuries, Kuchias did not personally lead the soldiers into the fort. He waited outside to hear the sound of cheering. The result was a countless horrified soldier who desperately fled back. He was desperate. The screaming dissuasion did not help, but under the influence of these squadrons, other soldiers outside the fort also fled together, and the bright squad of Dionia rang, allowing the squad to escape faster.

Kuchias had to follow suit, and he was anxious. Suddenly he thought that there was a lot of people in Farekus who led the people to build defense facilities. Perhaps they could stop these defeats and reorganize the army.

Who knows that when he arrived there, he did not see any figures at all, leaving only a digging trench and the unfinished dirt barrier behind the trench, which hindered the retreat of the soldiers.

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

After hearing the news that "Siktas led the army rebellion", the Syracuse Council not only sent a messenger to inform Taigenes, but also sent people to inform the Falekus in the Epipley Heights. Because there are many old citizens among the people led by Falekus, they need to be immediately recruited to form an army to settle the insurgency of Hiktas.

Falekus was shocked to learn of the news. He was also shocked to build a defensive facility here. When he returned to the city, he also blocked the messenger to inform them. Because he was watching him. Come: The attack on the Yuri Ruth fortress is heating up. At this time, the offensive forces get this bad news, which will disturb the military and make the previous efforts in vain.

When Falecus rushed to the main city, he realized that Hiktas did not attack the council, but instead led the army back to Dagang.

Falecus was in a hurry. He knew that the big port was very close to the Daonian military camp. Once Hiktas occupied the port, the Dionysian army was brought in via the sea, and Syracuse was finished!

Time is running out, he has no time to wait for these old citizens to go home to wear weapons and equipment, and then set off, but first led the 1,000 soldiers from the West City and the 500 old citizens just rallied, quickly to the southwestern port Progressive.

When they arrived at the inner wall, they saw the bodies on the ground. The soldiers felt angry when they felt the situation was urgent.

Entering the port, they soon discovered that the traitor Hitas was leading the queue in front of the military port.

Hitaks saw Falekus and was ready to talk to him before the line, delaying a little time.

Who knows that Falekus had seen his intentions early and directly ordered an attack.

1,500 soldiers (mostly heavy infantry) roared to charge each other, and the port soldiers also threw intensive javelin at each other. Because both sides are related to life and death, the battle started very fiercely.

However, after a fierce battle, most port troops who were light infantry gradually lost their support. If some people in the port area arrived, they would use wooden sticks and wooden oars to attack the flank of the Syracuse army. The pressure of the Tucks army, perhaps the army of Hiktas has been defeated.

But the situation is still not optimistic. The port people are constantly falling in the battle, and the entire army has been forced to retreat to the coast.

In this emergency, 50 warships returned to the military port one after another. The warships were on the dock. The Dionian soldiers on the deck quickly jumped off the boat and couldn’t gather the whole team. Under the leadership of the team officers, The form of the squad attacked the flank of the Syracuse Army.

As a commander, Falecus was at the forefront of the battle, so he did not know that the situation had changed, until he found that the surrounding soldiers began to retreat, he was shocked: the Dionysian army has landed!

He threw away his helmet, breastplate, and desperately with the squadrons.

The Dionysian soldiers are chasing after them, and the soldiers in the port area are rushing to take care of the injured comrades and the people.

When the Dionysian soldiers quickly chased the inner wall, they found that the reinforcements in front of Syracuse arrived. Although it was a good choice to force the squad to break up the formation of the other side, the problem was that there were not many soldiers involved in the pursuit. I am afraid that it is difficult to completely disrupt the enemy. Instead, it may be defeated by the other party because of the chaos of its own organization. Therefore, the team officers of the Diavian pursuit team cautiously chose to temporarily retreat, return to the military port, and meet with the large troops still landing. .

Falecus, who fled the danger, did not let the more than 2,000 troops formed by the newly recruited citizens join forces to recapture the military port and prevent the Diaonians from continuing to land.

After the battle, he felt that the entire port area had already defected to Syracuse and continued to fight in the port area. It is likely that the troops that were not easily convened will be caught again.

Hesitantly, Falecus did not dare to take risks, so he had to let the army defend the inner wall and send people to inform the council.

Not long after, 3,000 Dionysian soldiers joined the team of Hitaks approaching the interior wall.

The inner wall only serves to isolate the port area and check the Gentiles. Therefore, it is not as tall and strong as the outer wall. Its height is only three meters. The city walkway is also narrow, and there are no reserves of stones, blocks, and tar. After waiting for the city's weapon, and after the Dionyrian coalition approached the city, Falecus was surprised to find that the Syracuse soldiers who were condescending to defend were at a disadvantage.

Because of the heavy javelin thrown by the heavy infantry of the Dionian and the light javelin thrown by the port soldiers, the Syracuse soldiers in the city caused a lot of casualties within a short distance. There were not many light infantry in the army led by Lecus, and the grievances of the army that could only be beaten but unable to make effective counterattacks made Falecus's heart cool.

Not long after, the people in the port area also timely sent some wooden ladders for repairing houses and building logs for the use of coalition soldiers for siege.

Falecus saw this scene in the city, only to feel uncomfortable in the heart, and the soldiers used shields to defend against the long-range attacks under the city, while swearing at the porters' betrayal.

The Dionysian coalition soldiers quickly placed these wooden ladders on the three-meter-high stone wall, and took advantage of the opportunity of the enemy forces in the city to be suppressed by javelins, and quickly boarded the city. At the same time, the coalition soldiers also used the logs to open the gates of the city, rushing through the inner wall door, and the frontal smashing gradually unfolded in the city and under the city.

In the fierce battle of the city, Falecus looked at the port area and there was a huge number of black troops (the second wave of the landing force, the Eighth Army of the Day), which was pushed to the inner wall. His heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

Just then, some soldiers pointed to the back and panicked and shouted: "The city is on fire!"

Falekus hurried back, only to see the smoke in the northwest, the fire was soaring, and he could not help but be shocked: the fire of such a wide range could not be an accidental fire. Did the Daonians have already entered the city? !

He thinks this way, the soldiers are even more alarmed, and the morale drops sharply. Fortunately, the old citizens who have experienced many wars are still rational. I know very well: If you choose to retreat at this time, Syracuse may be all over. !

Therefore, under the encouragement of Falekus, they can barely support the line of defense.

However, the house leaks and the night rain, the section of the west wall facing the sea is very close to the port area. The Syracuse soldiers stand on the wall more than 10 meters high, not only to see the things happening in the port area clearly, I saw thousands of Diaonian soldiers landing in the military port, attacking the endangered interior wall, and seeing the perpetrators of the city fires are also the black helmets of the Dionyrian army, they are rapidly moving The core area of ​​the city has entered.

These Syracuse defenders saw the scene of the Muh people in this scene, extremely frightened, and extremely worried about the safety of their families. Where there was morale to continue fighting, they began to flee to the city. In order to escape the blame, they ran back. Shouting: "The city is on fire!! The Daonians are rushing into the city! The Dionyns are rushing into the city!!..."

Their retreat caused a defensive emptiness in the southern section of the West Wall. The Dionysian soldiers quickly occupied the city and followed the aisle to attack north.

The defense of the entire West City quickly collapsed.

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

The igniting of the city’s fire was the army led by Diocasis, who followed the Syracuse squadron all the way, not giving the enemy a chance to retreat, chasing from the Yuri Rus fortress to the edge of the main city, although I ran for a few miles, but because the terrain is from top to bottom soldiers are still relatively relaxed.

In the process of chasing, Diocassius has been thinking: How can the army led by the army, after entering the city, better help the entire siege unit to capture the city more quickly?

Because he knew that the commander of Prosous had been able to make his own raids stand firm in the Yuri Rus fortress, and once again ordered the whole army to launch a strong attack on the city of Syracuse, which is using the comrades’ Life creates opportunities for itself, so he must dismantle the enemy's fighting spirit as soon as possible and reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

Finally, the best way he thought of was to use fire.

So he sent a company to break into the house, collect olive oil and tar, pour it on a series of houses on the edge of the main city, and then ignite the fire, and he continued to chase after the defeat.

The direction of Kuqias, Stacycos and others fleeing is the council. He also hopes that the parliament will be able to send a unit to intercept this chase, which is like a skeleton. Who knows that the council is no soldier. Can be sent, and the members of the parliament learned that the "enemys killed" news, terrified, where dare to stay in the venue, have fled west, hope that the troops in Taigenes, Falekus can bless Their safety.
