Chapter 114 Bruty's Retreat and Elijah's Invasion

Fortunately, behind the wooden wall, there is a sentry tower that is more than one meter higher than the wall, and the support of light infantry led by Tspit in the lower city, bows and arrows and javelins fired by freemen, so far the southern section of the wooden wall is still basic. Stay safe.

Tspit fired an arrow, hitting the chest of the enemy who had penetrated the wooden wall. The seemingly thick leather robe was completely penetrated, and the enemy fell to the ground.

Tspit habitually reached for the arrow, only to find that the quiver was empty.

"Go get the new arrows!" Cipit shook his sore right hand and said to the guard next to him.

After a while, the guard hurried back, handed him a quiver full of ten arrows, and said at the same time, "Captain, the quartermaster told you to save it, he has few arrows left."

"How can it be used so fast?!" Tspit said slightly dissatisfied.

"I asked him the same way, but he said that we light infantry plus the free people have more than 2,000 archers, each with 20,000 arrows, and now almost all archers have used up a barrel of arrows... He He also said... and also said that 'the arrows are all bought with money, and the price is not low. This time because our second army has the need for defensive operations in the previous plan, the enemy of Mersis will distribute them to us. 30,000 arrows, otherwise we will never let us waste it like this!'" The guard said something aggrieved.

Although Tspit was also a little angry, but the quartermaster of the baggage team was now under the control of Mersis, thinking of the miserly fat man gave Tspit a headache, and he said loudly: "Brothers, there is nothing to worry about when you run out of bows and arrows. , we also have reverse-blade knives and spears, are you right?!"

"right!!!"

The stalemate of the siege battle made Pian Lun very anxious. He turned around and looked at the soldiers resting in the rear, hesitating whether to send the last 5,000 men, but the narrowness of the battlefield made it too crowded under the wooden wall. No matter how many people there are, it doesn't seem to help.

At this moment, he heard a "bang rumbling..." behind him, followed by cheers.

"The wooden wall has collapsed! The enemy's wall has collapsed!!..." The soldiers beside him cheered, and Pian Lun turned around excitedly and looked: There was a big gap in the center of the southern section of the wooden wall of the fortress in front of him. Soldiers are rushing in...

"Don't panic! Don't panic!..." Bream loudly appeased the panicked Bissinian warrior. Bachilippi was too old, and the warriors in his tribe were led by Bachilippi's nephew, so Brim was the oldest, the oldest, and the prestige of the three leaders of Bisinia. Although he didn't really want to fight the Cosenza,

But in the battlefield, he also had to work hard for the survival of his clan.

"Keep your position, the wall won't fall again!..." Bream shouted loudly, he knew very well that the gap was because the soldiers' negligence caused the wooden wall to be burned with kerosene, and then covered by sambar wood. The collision will cause the wooden wall to be damaged and the soil pit to collapse.

"Stay ahead! Don't worry about the enemies who are rushing in, the Dionians are behind to pick them up!..." He said this because he had seen heavily armed Dionian soldiers in the gap in the wooden wall The rear was lined up, and he was amazed by the quick and neat maneuvers of the Dionian army.

For the soldiers of the third and fourth divisions of the Second Corps, the collapse of the wooden wall was a good thing, and they could finally make up for the regret of not going to the city to kill the enemy.

When the Brutian warriors stepped on the earthen barrier that collapsed into a slope, kicked the broken wooden fence, and rushed into the wall, they found themselves facing an iron wall surrounded by countless copper shields and countless sharp thorns. In the rhythm of the drums of war, the Dionian soldiers steadily fired and retracted their guns, and each jab could take a life...

The Brutite warriors who rushed in could neither form an array with their companions, nor were they organized by team officers. They could not resist the group attack of the Dionysian army by their individual bravery, and they had to guard against the arrows and Bisi from the tower above their heads. The Javelin of the Nia Warrior.

In a short period of time after breaking into the wooden wall, the casualties of the Brutite warriors increased sharply. They were afraid to retreat, but the way back was blocked by the excited warriors from the rear.

The third and fourth corps of the Second Corps attacked steadily, shrinking the encirclement, causing the Brutite warriors to crowd into a group, and it was very difficult to even wield their weapons.

Pian Lun was delighted to see many Brutus warriors rushing into the gap together, but soon the scene there seemed to be stagnant. The warriors were wandering in the gap, but could not enter, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Then, he was surprised to see that the Brutian warriors there suddenly scattered and fled, and groups of brightly armored Dionian soldiers poured out from the gap in the city wall, and they took advantage of the flank to attack the others who were attacking the city with all their strength. Brutite warriors, soon the rout was no longer just the point of the gap, but evolved into the entire Brutite offensive line...

Seeing this scene, Pianlon felt a chill in his heart, choking off the chance of winning, and he saw it: the Dionian army that occupied Bisinia was not just Dio, who had only a few thousand soldiers as judged by the leaders. Nia is not the main force, but it is most likely what the Diorians claim to be!

"Retreat..." He cried out in pain.

However, when he managed to gather the defeated soldiers and returned to the camp in frustration, he got worse news.

"What did you say?! There was a riot in Cosenza City?!"

"Yes, big chief. Seidum, Sass, Bois... and more than a dozen tribes suddenly led their tribesmen to attack the inner city the next morning after you left with the army. If not, the leader of Kadulke Lead the team to arrive in time, I am afraid they will attack the inner city! Now they occupy the west of the outer city, the high priest sent me to tell you quickly, I hope you can quickly put down these rebellions and restore the city of Cosenza Peace!" the messenger said anxiously.

"Understood, you go back and tell the high priest, I will bring the army back immediately, let him not panic, and Kadulke will defend the inner city first!" Pian Lun quickly made a decision. In order to monitor and rule these disobedient tribes nearby, the "Seven Elders Council" decided to force them to move to the outer city of Cosenza. This rebellion sounded the alarm for Pianlon. The invasion of the Dionians had affected all tribes in the Bruti region, especially those tribes who had been dissatisfied with the alliance and were forced to surrender. He had to Act quickly so as not to worsen the situation.

He sent Petaru to carry out the order to pull out the camp.

Soon, Bergam broke into the tent and shouted excitedly: "Did I hear it wrong, Pianlon, you want to go back to Cosenza?! Let these Dionysians continue to build the fortress here, we are just like this. gone?!"

"Elder Bogam, what else can we do in such a bad situation? Can we continue to attack the fortress?!" Pian Lun was no longer as anxious as when he heard the news, he calmly asked: "Then Behind the city walls there are probably 6,000 or 7,000 highly trained Dionian soldiers, and more than 2,000 Pessinian traitors who have turned to them. In addition to the well-defended fortress, you think we can do it alone. Take this fortress?! You know, we lost nearly 2,000 people in today's battle! 2,000 people!! Equivalent to most of the Ambarian warriors you brought!"

After hearing this, Bogam sat down slumped... After a while, he raised his head and murmured in a dry voice: "Is it just like watching Dionia's army pass through Bisinia and break into our homeland..."

"Then let them come!" Pian Lun roared, his eyes were piercing, looking directly at Bergam, he stepped forward and gave him a strong hug, and said firmly in a hard tone: "We want to Go back and gather all the Brutus warriors! We will fight the Dionians on the Cosenza Plateau to the death! This battle will decide the rise and fall of the Brutians, and the goddess Amara of the Plateau will protect us!"

"Plateau..." Bogam reinvigorated his fighting spirit through An Lun's reminder: "Yes, we have Amala's blessing! We also have the Cosenza Plateau!..."

…………………………

The high-spirited Cincinnagar got the support of many tribes in the northern part of Grummentum, and marched south smoothly all the way. After reaching the south, he finally encountered obstacles.

The tribes who had migrated from Neutum were the first tribes to submit to Dionysus. Compared with Picocis, far west of Grummentum, they identified with Dionia and trusted Dio more. nia. They drove out the messengers sent by Cincinnagar, and joined forces to fight against Picocis.

Cincinnagar was furious and prepared to lead an army to attack these disobedient tribes. However, there was news that there was a change in the city of Grummentum on the north side, and about 2,000 Dionian soldiers came out of the city.

This made Cincinnagar fear that when attacking the Lucanian tribes in the south, he would be suddenly attacked from the flank by the Dionysians, so he had to withdraw his troops.

As soon as Picocis' troops were withdrawn, the Dionians retreated into the city.

This was the case for two days in a row, and Cincinnagar judged that the Dionians in the city were just pretending, and they had neither the guts nor the intention to attack him.

So he asked Gnenett to lead two thousand soldiers to stare at the city of Grummentum, and he led his army to prepare to conquer the tribes in the south.

At this time, the city of Picocis sent messengers to tell him bad news: a thousand Elias invaded the territory of Picocis, they destroyed the farmland and burned the settlements. Don't dare to attack rashly and ask Cincinnagar to urgently return aid!

After Cincinnagar heard it, he was furious.
