Chapter 172 Hiros's Decision

"Let's go, Lord Shiros, or we'll have to delay time again!" Henepolis urged proudly, and hurriedly walked towards the trestle with the guards.

Hiros had to accept the fact that Henepolis went with the army, and once again solemnly saluted Bagul: "Laos will be handed over to you."

The somewhat guilty Bagule returned the same solemn salute: "Don't worry, may Hades bless you to go to the south to break the enemy and attack the city!"

…………………………

As soon as Davos crossed the Neto River, he received a report from the herald Thormid: "Your Majesty, there is a team of Syracuse reconnaissance cavalry ahead, and our cavalry is chasing it."

"Lyders' cavalry regiment has been scattered long ago, why didn't they find it, and let them break into our army." Davos's calm tone was majestic.

The kind Thormid quickly explained: "It is reported that these enemy cavalry were hiding behind the ruins of the broken wall of Crotone City, and they were not found. Now Ryders has reorganized his men and horses and is ready to investigate thoroughly. The ruins of Crotone."

"Dionysius is very attentive in order to detect the movement of our army!" Davos sneered. He sat high on the horse and looked forward. In his field of vision, there were all the Daivas forming a small square. Onian soldier, his expression began to become solemn: "I'm afraid my worst assumption is coming true... Thormid!"

"exist!"

"Inform the legionnaires to be armed and march south at normal speed! Tell Ryders not to scatter his cavalry to investigate Crotone, I want his cavalry to follow the army of Syracuse, Report the enemy's movements at all times, and at the same time give me all the power to cover the movements of our army! Let the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade do the work of investigating the inner city of Crotone."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tormid asked softly again: "Need to inform the Crotone people in the Acropolis that we have crossed the river yet?"

Davos pondered for a while, nodded and said, "You send someone to tell Lycias... Well, let's just say that we are leading an army to rescue them, and there may be a fierce battle with the Syracuse army, so let them send as much as possible. The army is here to meet!"

"Understood, Your Majesty!" Thormid immediately turned to give orders to the messengers.

………………………………

"My lord, my men are back." Akirita rushed to Dionysius on horseback: "Ten men were sent out, but only two came back, and they were all wounded. Although they were excellent horsemen, But to pass through the siege of so many enemy horses-"

"I see,

You have made a contribution, and the rewards will not be less in the future! Dionysius interrupted his complaint impatiently: "Tell me, how is the situation?" "

"The Dionian army has crossed the river, and the number is very large..." The civilization of the Numibians is far lower than that of Carthage and Greece. After the number reaches 10,000, most of them are not clear.

Dionysius listened to Achillita's exaggerated words, the original worry dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face. Talking about retreating because the rear was attacked is an illusion to lure the enemy to cross the river. He has only one purpose in his mind - to defeat the army of Dionia, and only by achieving this goal can he completely get rid of the army of Syracuse. The predicament was clear to Dionysius from beginning to end.

His eyes swept to Phoebe Das next to him, and Phoebe Das nodded forcefully at him.

Dionysius ordered decisively: "Order the entire army to stop advancing, turn around immediately, cross the Tachinadi River, and march northward quickly!"

At this moment, his army has already passed the south bank of the Tachnadi River. The entire army is about ten miles away from the Neto River. It takes more than two hours to arrive on a normal march, so he must move quickly to avoid the enemy being tricked. Escape back to the north bank of the Neto River. However, the time it takes for an army of tens of thousands of people to pass through Neto and I should probably be more than a few hours. He has enough time...

…………………………

Near noon, the fleet entered the port of Knapetia.

The port of Clapetia is not big. Although the two chief executives expanded it after it was merged into the Dionysian Alliance, the innate conditions of the port are not good, and its ability to accommodate ships has not been significantly improved. Therefore, the troop carriers can only slowly queue up one by one to enter the port...

"Lord Hiros, welcome to come! I haven't seen you for more than two years. I heard that you are coming this time, so I'll be at the dock early to wait for you!"

Asisters gave Hiros, who had just disembarked, a warm hug, and then said: "Your Majesty is really cruel, he has either let me stay in Lucania or sent me to this remote place for the past few years. Come from the Bruti area, and don't give me any leisure time to get together with you old brothers. The last time you were appointed as the administrator of Cosenza, I wanted to go to Cosenza to give you Congratulations, I didn't expect the war to break out so quickly..."

Assisters kept talking excitedly as soon as he came up, Hiros only replied: "Your Majesty is also for your own good."

"Of course, His Majesty treats me like a real brother. If I complain a few words, he won't blame me." Asistes teased cheekily.

"Lord Asistes, hello!" Henepolis stepped forward to greet him.

When Henepolis went to study in Turii, Asisters had already gone to Niutum, and only saw Henepolis a few times when he returned to Turri to report to Davos. , but he had a deep memory of the only teenager who lived in the Davers mansion.

"Lord Henepolis, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Asistes immediately returned a warm greeting, and then he remembered something and looked puzzled: "You can come here, it means that Laos has taken back, Shouldn't you be in Laos to rectify the affairs of the city-state that just went through the war?!"

There is actually a bit of a lesson in this, but Henepolis didn't care, he said calmly: "There is Lord Bagule sitting in the city of Laos now, he has done a good job, while I am I want to fulfill the promise I made to His Majesty and serve as his military secretary, so I came with Lord Hiros. I heard that Lord Asisters is His Majesty's first secretary, I would like to ask you for more advice. Give me some experience of how to be His Majesty's clerk."

Asisters laughed, but glanced at Shiros, seeing Shiros nodding at him, then said: "No problem, we can communicate together, I think you must be doing better than me, because I don't have a problem. You are so good at writing, but I was criticized a lot by Your Majesty at the beginning..."

Just as Asistes humbly encouraged Henepolis, a person behind him stood up: "Lord Hiros, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Who are you?" Hiros looked at the talking stranger.

"Let me introduce you." Asistes said hurriedly, "This is Trina's general, Blomaras. After the defeat of the Allied forces in South Italy, he led the people in the city to retreat to Knape. Tia, avoided the tragic fate of Sirius."

Blomaras said solemnly: "Lord Hiros, the citizens of Trina will follow you to fight and take back our homeland!"

"Your wish will come true soon!" Hiros promised confidently.

"And this one—" Asisters pointed to another man beside him, and introduced Hiros: "Flalios, the captain of the three-tiered oars of the Dionysian Fleet, is from the Navy. Commander Cykrian's order has been waiting for you in Knapetia for a day."

Flarios took a step forward and gave a military salute: "Sir Hiros, our fleet is now moored at the port of Taurina, General Cykrian ordered me to discuss with you and get the time for your attack on Trina. Afterwards, I will return immediately and tell General Sekelian. He will lead a fleet, full of 4,000 soldiers from Lijim, to land on the coast of Hibernian, and cut off the reinforcement route of Lokri..."

After listening to Hiros, he couldn't help but sigh: "Now that our navy is stronger, it will be even more helpful for the army's attack!"

He turned his head and looked at the pier. There were only a few hundred soldiers ashore, and the troop transport ships were lined up one by one, extending to the outside of the port.

He looked back at Blomaras, the General Trina looking at him expectantly.

"General Blomaras, how many soldiers do you have?" Hiros asked suddenly.

"500 people." Blomaras saw Hiros frown slightly, and added: "Including the older citizens, I can lead 900 people to fight with you."

"How many soldiers can Knapetia draw?" Hiros asked Asistes again.

"Knapetia has 1,500 reserve citizens, and I can send 1,000 to support you." Asisters said without hesitation.

"How many enemies are there in Trina?" Hiros asked again.

"Well... According to our investigation these days, there may be 4,000 people, but more than half of them are citizens of Hibernian and Madma." Blomaras replied.

Shiros lowered his head and pondered for a while, made up his mind, and immediately said in a deep voice, "I will return to the ship now, and lead the fleet to land on the coast of the Plain of Ophemia and advance to Trina."

"What?!" Asisters was shocked, and hurriedly persuaded: "The soldiers have been bumping at sea for several hours, they should be allowed to go ashore to rest, and it will not be too late to set off tomorrow. What's more—" Back then, Asistes and Hiros fought side by side in Persia, knowing that once Hiros had an idea, it would be difficult for him to change, so he pointed to Flarios and said, "You haven't done a good job with our fleet. Contact. Cykrian wants the Ligium army to attack Hibernian first and lure Trina's enemies back, so you can easily take it down when you attack Trina."
