Chapter 82 The First Victory

"The Dionysians are here! The reinforcements of the Dionias are here!!..." The same people who shouted as these Samonais wounded soldiers were the archers on the outposts in the camp, but they issued It was a joyful voice: "Our reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are here!!..."

finally come! Alexis let out a long breath when he heard the news.

When the soldiers heard the shouts, their morale was shaken, their tired bodies seemed to be recharged, and they shouted in unison, trying to drive out the enemy who had rushed into the battalion...

Torek, who heard the shouting, still didn't want to believe it. When he turned around and saw the rushing Dionysian army, any stragglers were swallowed up by it in an instant, and his whole body seemed to be emptied. He stumbled and fell to the ground, with only one thought in his mind: "It's over! I fell in with the Dionian conspiracy!"

The Samonei warriors who had been struggling for a long time and were equally exhausted saw the menacing Dionian Legionnaires attacking from behind, and although they were alarmed, most of the warriors did not turn and flee, but took up the long soldiers. Spear, turned around to resist the enemy's raid, and killed the red-eyed ones with only one thought in their hearts: fight!

However, the arrival of a steady stream of fresh forces and the front and back attack made the resistance of the Samonai warriors only in vain, but affected their timely escape from the siege.

As the Samonites continued to fall, the remaining fighters finally lost their fighting spirit and began to flee... Some fighters were exhausted and simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered... Therefore, after the battle lasted for a while, it was basically over, and the remaining The only thing is to chase down the routed soldiers.

…………………………

The soldiers of the Third Legion in Camp Dionia were either picking up the remains of their comrades, receiving treatment from the medical camp, or resting against the earth wall and lying on the ground...

The legion commander Alexis listened to the adjutant's report on the casualties of the legion with a solemn face: "According to the preliminary statistics of the medical battalion, our legion has 412 casualties, 251 serious injuries, 537 minor injuries, and a total of 1,200 casualties..."

1200 people! Alexis clenched his fists a little moved: accounting for 15% of the legion's main force, this casualty is a bit big!

The adjutant saw the pained expression on the regiment commander's face, so he hurriedly comforted him and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. We are dealing with about three times as many fierce Samonais..."

Alexis sighed and said nothing.

At this time, the originally quiet camp suddenly boiled.

Alexis saw Davos enter the camp with the escort,

While walking towards the center, he had a cordial conversation and condolences with the soldiers he met.

Alexis rushed to meet him.

Before he got close, Davos caught up and gave him a very powerful hug: "Good job, Commander Alexis!"

This sentence made the sigh, grievance and dissatisfaction in Alexis' heart dissipate most of the time. He stood at attention and saluted, and replied forcefully: "Report to the Supreme Commander, the Third Army has completed its combat mission and is resting."

"It's more than just completing the combat mission!" Davers looked around at the soldiers who were rushing over, his face full of dust and blood stained with exhaustion, and he used his clenched right fist to his left chest with emotion. One Hammer: "Brothers of the Third Legion! You stayed in the solitary camp, fought three times as hard as your enemies, and made sacrifices and made great contributions to the final annihilation of the incoming Samonites throughout the battle! You have saved Potentia! Removed the danger of invasion of our Lucanian territory! Changed the war in the entire north of Dionia! Not only me, but all the people of Dionia should thank you! You are The hero of Dionia will be remembered in the Temple of Hades in Turii! Wansheng, Third Legion!"

Davos's passionate and passionate words reached the ears of every soldier, whether it was a Lucanian or a Greek, they were all moved to tears.

"Wan Sheng, Third Army!!!"

"Wan Sheng, Davos!!!"

"Wan Sheng, Dionia!!!"

...

Continuous cheers resounded over the camp, and when the captured Samonai warriors heard this voice, the pain and frustration on their faces were indescribable...

In this battle, Davos encircled the point for reinforcements, using the Third Legion as a bait, attracting 26,700 Samonai warriors to come to besiege. Taking advantage of the exhaustion of its teachers and veterans, two more corps were secretly mobilized to encircle and destroy it... There were tens of thousands of Samonai soldiers captured alone, causing more than 7,000 casualties, and only nearly 3,000 fled into the mountains. At the same time, he easily recaptured the city of Poseidonia, and obtained a large amount of supplies and materials that were piled up in the city and had not yet been transported to the Potentia Samone camp. It can be said to be a complete victory.

…………………………

On this day, the Syracuse army, which had broken through the north bank of the Lamato River, was still standing still. They built a rudimentary camp at the confluence of the Lamato and Corta rivers, and built a pontoon bridge over the Corta with dozens of clippers, so that the baggage and supplies from Hibernian could flow smoothly. It was successfully delivered to the Syracuse camp, and the soldiers were finally able to have a full meal.

The people of Trina, west of the Syracuse camp and facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, were always in a state of panic. They sent out a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the camp of Syracuse; they sent messengers to Cilidia, while maintaining contact with Knapetia.

In the Siriting, the people were still uneasy even as the number of troops arriving from Crotone increased to 17,000, making the coalition force in the Siriting soar to 30,000. Syracuse's camp is no more than 30 miles away from the city of Xiliting, and a few hours of marching can reach the city. Now all the people of Xiliting have abandoned their homes outside the city, and have fled into the city of Xiliting with their families and their families. .

For Crotone's all-out assistance, the high-level Siriting leaders headed by Pretinis can't blame anything, but for the overwhelming army of Syracuse, the disadvantaged Crotone-Siriting coalition did not. No way, the only thing they can do is to send reconnaissance cavalry to the south to learn about the itinerary of the Dionian Legion every once in a while.

…………………………

Dionia's Fourth and Fifth Legions began to pull out their camp in the early morning of this day. In order to prevent the Syracuses from taking advantage of this abandoned camp, they not only evacuated their tents and pulled out the wooden fence, but also tore down the earth and filled them. The reason why Ping Mogou spends more energy is to repay the hospitality of the people of Coulonia and make up for the guilt in their hearts.

Last night, when Felixius informed the Coronians that "the Dionysian army had to prepare to withdraw", although they knew that the matter was irreversible, Pretinius and the others made their best efforts. Retain this reinforcement that will keep Coulonia safe.

Felixius could only bear to refuse their request.

But just as they were leaving today, almost all the people of Corenia came out to see off the Dionysian army. They not only helped the soldiers to pull up the camp, but also brought freshly-heated bread, porridge and syrup, hoping that the soldiers They can have a full meal before marching.

Many Dionysian soldiers were moved by Coulonia's deep friendship and poignant words of retention. They had to go north because of the army's order, but the words to comfort the people of Coulonia were roughly the same: "Don't worry. As long as you hold on to the city of Corenia, we will join forces with other allied forces, and we will soon defeat the Syracuse army, and then come to rescue you!"

Felixius said the same thing to Phineris, but in a more euphemistic way.

Feniris didn't seem to hear the uncertainty in Felixius' words, and he said resolutely: "We Corenia have been besieged by Lokri too many times, and there is nothing better than us in Great Greece. Defend the city, we will stick to it until you come back, I know the Dionysians keep their promises!"

The words of Pretinius made Felixius feel a little heavier.

Nearly dusk, the Fourth and Fifth Corps finally arrived at the Sili Court, and at this time, the Syracuse-Lokri coalition led by Fasipesas surrounded the city of Colonia.

…………………………

In the evening, at the headquarters of the Southern Italian Alliance in Celestine, Philisius, the commander of the southern line of Dionia, Ancitanos, the special envoy of the Senate, Ascamas, the general of the Crotone army, and Pu, the chief general of Celestine. Lethinis, the general of the commanding army of Celestia, Ashesias, and the messenger of Trinat, Asopias, sat around a large wooden table on which was placed a map of the plains of Othemia.

Athesias stood up, holding a stick in his hand, and gave a description of the current situation to everyone present: "My lords, according to what we have detected, the Syracuse army is in the Lamato River and the Cole. Camp at the confluence of the Ta River."

Athesias tapped a marker on the map with a stick: "This is the edge of the plains of Euphemia, go west, only 15 miles from Trina—"

"Accurately speaking, it should be only 13.9 miles!" Asopias emphasized loudly.

"Cough... The situation in the west, Lord Asopias is naturally much clearer than us." Ashesias corrected slightly embarrassedly: "The Syracuse camp is 13.9 miles away from Trina. And the terrain is flat, but the impenetrable Lamato River has to be crossed, which is quite a hassle for the Syracuses—"

"The Syracuse Navy has occupied the Lamato River, and it is very easy to send the army across the Lamato River!" Asopias emphasized again.

Ashesias was a little angry: "Master Asopias, you like to interrupt others so much, why don't you explain it to everyone!"

Axopias shook his head and said, "I'm just supplementing the situation you've introduced. Didn't you say just now, 'We Trina people know more about the situation in the west than you do', let all the adults present here A comprehensive and detailed understanding of the situation on the entire battlefield will help us to formulate a more reasonable response plan. Because this war is no longer a matter of Sirius or Trina, but the entire South-Italian Alliance needs to face it together. crisis!"

"Lord Asopias is right! Assias, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, and be more detailed." Pretini hurriedly came out to help the two.

"Yeah, the war has burned our territory, and everyone is a little anxious, but the more this is the case, the more calm we should be in order to defeat the powerful enemy." Ancitanos also said comfortingly.
