Chapter 101 Probing the Attack

Although Davos was in a good mood, he did not joke with this serious man, but said seriously: "Your Third Army is stationed in the two towns of Niutum and Grummentum, which is to stabilize Lucania. An important force in the region. Dionia is at war with the Brutians, will Picocis and Potentia take the opportunity to provoke a war and retake Grummentum?"

What Davos said caused Sesta and Hieronymus to think.

After a while, Sironimus said sullenly: "My lord, do you mean to keep the Third Legion stationed in place to prevent the invasion of Picocis and Potentia?"

"It's not just defense." Davos smiled lightly and said in a deep voice, "If they dare to tear up the peace agreement, then Dionysus will dare to take down Picocis and Portenti while conquering Bruti. Ya!"

War on both sides? ! Sesta and Hieronymus looked at each other, and while marveling at the superhuman courage of the young consul, they were also a little worried.

"Don't forget, Elijah." Davers reminded.

"What role does Elijah's strength play?" Sesta disagreed.

However, Hieronymus, who had been fighting for a long time, suddenly thought of something in Davos's smile, and his spirit was lifted: "Sir, I will discuss with Butler how to seduce them."

"When I meet Avinogis, I will also propose to him to use their port. I believe he will agree." Davos laughed.

……………………

"Lord Avinogis, I haven't seen you for two months. You seem to have gained a lot of weight again." Davos said half-jokingly facing the Laos Consul who came to greet him.

Avinogis patted his obviously protruding belly with a smile: "Who called Dionysius is too powerful! With your support, everything is going well in Laos, and I don't need to worry about anything. The only thing that worries me is what new food your wife's restaurant has made, can I be the first to taste it!"

Davos looked at his trembling fat face, and couldn't help but remind: "I suggest you not to eat too much at each meal, and try to lose some weight as much as possible, which is good for your body."

Avinogis remembered something, patted his head with his right hand, and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that you are still an amazing doctor! Since you said so, then I will try to control my weight gain."

"Thank you for your trust in me." Davos heard what he said. He was going to control his weight instead of reducing it. Obviously, he was not very concerned about his body.

Thinking back to when he first met Avinogis, his sturdy body had grown a circle, but all that had been added was fat. Looking at Arobmas next to him, he was thinner than a year ago. I heard that Avinogis left most of the administrative affairs of the city-state to his younger brother. People, once you lose the sense of urgency, lose the goal of struggle, and learn to be greedy for pleasure, it will be difficult to get back on your feet... Davos sighed in his heart.

"Lord Davos, this...this Dionia's Second Legion...seems like something is wrong!" Arobmas looked at the army marching in front of them with high banners, and said in a suspicious voice.

"Brother, I heard that Dionia's army is replacing new weapons and equipment recently. Of course, it is different from before!" Avinogis interrupted Arobmas, and at the same time ordered his brother: "With cloth Ruti's war is about to start, you immediately go to blockade the port and all passages outside the city, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving!"

Davos couldn't stop nodding. Avinogis was still the leader of the descendants of Sybaris who dared to unite with Dionia and overthrow the rule of the Lucanians at the right moment. Although his body has changed significantly, But his mind is still awake, with a very keen military sense and a very fast political response, he completed all the deployments without Davos' request.

The rapid sound of the bugle sounded, and the soldiers quickly retreated down the hillside. Stones and wood chased them and rolled down. When a soldier was unfortunately hit, the nearby teammates quickly stepped forward to help them, and screams sounded from time to time...

Caps, who saw this scene at the foot of the mountain, had a gloomy expression on his face and couldn't help sighing: "This kind of terrain is too unfavorable for us, and the advantages of the Legion can't be exerted at all."

"The offensive these days is not in vain. After all, we took down a camp of the enemy and pushed our offensive line here." Antonios comforted him.

"We didn't capture that, but the Brutians took the initiative to evacuate. Until now, we haven't even seen the enemy's face, but our brothers have already killed more than 300 people!" Caps said with heartache.

"It's mainly trauma and fractures. After the treatment in the medical camp, most of them can return to normal, and there are not many deaths. This is already very good. There is no one who will die in a war, like when we were in Persia..." Antonios Continue to console him.

"However, the brothers didn't die while fighting the enemy. This way of dying is too embarrassing! I heard from the guide that Wig City is still five or six miles away! Five or six miles! It's always been this difficult. The mountain road to go! I am afraid that when we reach the city of Vig, our people are almost dead!" Amintas roared irritably: "When will the second army start to move?! There has been no movement for so long! I would have known it earlier. , Kapus, you should strongly demand that our First Corps perform that mission!"

"Who told us that the First Army is too famous, if we don't attack here, how can we convince the Brutians that this is the focus of our attack. Only in this way can we attract the main force of the Brutians!" Alexis He said calmly and admiringly: "Only the commander would dare to do this! Who would have thought that we risked sacrificing the precious lives of our citizens to attack Vig City just to mobilize the enemy!"

"Shh!" Capps made a gesture alertly, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "I hope the Second Army can successfully complete the mission, and don't let our brothers die in vain!"

……………………

"Chief, the Greeks are retreating!"

Hearing the excited report of his subordinates, Saru was not only not happy, but a little disappointed: "The Dionysians run as fast as rabbits, if they cross the mountain, we will store the stones on the mountain with us. Push it down, they can't escape even if they want to, and more people will die!"

"Don't worry, as long as they are still ready to continue to attack Vig City, there are more opportunities like this!" Sedorum stood up and praised: "We have resisted the enemy for three days! Dionia sent them The First Army, which is known as the 'strongest army', came to attack, not only did not make any progress, but many soldiers were killed and wounded! Saru, you did a good job!"

"If this situation continues, we can completely prevent the Dionysians from reaching the city of Vig within a month!" Saru said confidently: "Big Chief, I think we can handle these Greeks by ourselves. , let the Cosenza go back. They occupy our house, eat our food, and don't have to fight, and the soldiers are angry!"

"The Cosenza people mainly eat their own food. We and the Cosenza people are united now, and there are still many opportunities to fight together in the future. You have to get used to it and persuade our soldiers not to complain too much. "Sedorum said to him patiently: "What's more, judging from the current situation, the Dionysians have not done their best, they should still be adapting to the terrain here, knowing that they have a The troops formed by the Kanians, as well as the troops of Laos, have not seen them yet, we cannot underestimate the enemy! Have you forgotten how the Lucania Tribal Alliance attacked our city!"

"I didn't forget!" Saru clenched his fists.

"Yesterday, news came from Knapetia that the Greeks over there tried to attack from the trail, but luckily they were caught in time and they were repelled. We should also be wary of the Lucanians coming around from the mountains, but it was It is because Cosenza's army is guarding the city that we can confidently and boldly fight the enemy here." Sedorum continued to persuade.

Saru nodded silently.

"The later the Dionians arrive at Vig, the faster their morale will drop, the more food will be consumed, and the better our chances of defeating them! By that time, the glory that belongs to the Brutians will be Coming!" It was originally to persuade and motivate Saru, but as he spoke, Sedorum couldn't help but get excited.

The sun was about to set behind the mountain, and the earth gradually fell into darkness.

The grazing mountain people drove the cattle and sheep home early, and the children who ran wild in the mountains during the day were also called home by their parents, because in the dark night, the mountains are the world of wild animals.

The wilderness outside Bisinia is no longer inhabited, and the howl of wolves is occasionally heard. Only after the roar of the Krati River for a day, in the silent evening, the sound of the waves is even louder, as it has been for thousands of years. , The residents of Bisinia City have long been used to it, and they feel that the louder the waves are, the more they show the protection of the Krati River for them, so they all sleep peacefully under the waves.

But they didn't know that on the other side of the river, in the dense woods, thousands of Dionysian soldiers were marching, and the sound of the river water "Wow, woo..." covered all the sounds they made.

There are cliffs and steep walls on both sides of the upper reaches of the Krati River, but not all of them are like this. There is a river beach about ten meters long in front of the mountain where the city of Bisinia is located. Bisinians often come here to collect water and wash clothes. On the other side of the river beach, it is more than 40 meters up, there is a gentle slope, you can go down to the riverside, and the jagged rocks by the riverside can accommodate ten people.
