Chapter 192 The Great Victory of Hibernian

However, Dionysius was concerned about the safety of his rear, and ordered the Lokri to strictly guard against the Ligiim, and forbid the occurrence of Madma being attacked again. At the same time, the army of Lochry will also help the defenders of Trina to defend the army of Dionia from appearing on the plain of Euphemia through Knapetia. Therefore, the main force of Lochry was forcibly held in the city of Medema by Dionysius.

Diopantos felt very aggrieved. But when the news of "Syracuse's navy was defeated twice by Dionia" came, Diopantos had to be vigilant: because Dionia, who had the advantage of the sea, might pass the fleet To send his army to the rear of the battlefield - Cirithium, Hibernian, Trina, Corenia, and even the territory of Locri, knowing that most of Locri's soldiers are in Medmar, a small part The soldiers followed the army of Syracuse, and the city was very empty.

At this time, he didn't have the mind to fight on the front line. In addition to hoping that the powerful army of Syracuse would defeat the Dionians and oppress them from being able to divide their troops to raid the rear, he also paid close attention to the surrounding enemy.

Soon the Cykrian fleet entered Taurina.

Diopantos, who knew the news, was even more nervous, but since Medema's port was blocked by the Dionian warships, he could only send spies to scout out the enemy's movements on the other side of the Maro River.

This morning, Diopantos received a report from the spies that there was a suspected change in the port of Taurina.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, a few hours later, a messenger from Hibernian came running from the north and told him anxiously: Lijim's army was preparing to attack Hibernian, and I hoped that the Lochry army would rush to rescue immediately!

Diopantos was ready. The whereabouts of Lijimu and the Dionysian fleet had been revealed, but he was relieved, and immediately left 5,000 soldiers to defend Medema, and led 10,000 soldiers to the north quickly.

By noon, his army had entered Hibernian territory.

Feidun did not panic when he knew that the army of Loclery was coming. It turned out that after landing on the Hibernian coast, he sent cavalry to inform the Dionysian army, which had landed on the Plain of Euphemia yesterday afternoon, as agreed in advance. Only then did the Trina people in the empty city of Lina know that the Dionysian army had defeated the Syracuse army in the battle and had already entered the city of Siridin.

Lijim's scout immediately rushed to Sirius and contacted the Dionysian army. That's why Davos sent Hiros, Antonios, Hieronymus, and Ryders to lead the army to support.

After getting the good news brought back by the detective, Feidun was not only surprised, but also overjoyed. Therefore, in the face of reinforcements from the Lokri, with reinforcements coming,

He didn't panic, but secretly rejoiced.

While sending the scout cavalry to inform the Dionian reinforcements on the way, he set up a battle outside Hibernian City.

An hour later, the Lochry army rushed outside the city of Hibernian.

Diopantos saw that the Lijim people were ready to fight, of course he was not afraid because he had a large number of troops, and immediately launched the attack after forming the formation.

Feidun had originally considered using the tactics of luring the enemy, but it was very difficult for Lijim's army, who had not conducted military training several times a year, to play such a difficult tactic. Serious in his work and daring to work hard, he simply chose the hard touch of real swords and guns, and he was at the forefront of the battle.

The Lijim, whose strength was only half the enemy, were naturally no opponents. After fighting for a while, they were finally defeated because the two flanks were attacked by the enemy. The soldiers lost their helmets and armor and fled north.

Diopantos wasn't going to let the Ligium rout just go away. In fact, during this period of time, he was troubled by the Lijim army led by Feidun, because the squeamish Lijim civic soldiers, led by Feidun, were actually quite resilient, even after the siege of Maidan. When Demar was attacked by the Lokri fiasco, after returning to Taurina, the Lijim still crossed the river from time to time to harass him.

This time is a rare opportunity. The Lijim people are trapped in the land between Hibernian and the Ramato River, with nowhere to escape. Diopantos is able to annihilate this big trouble in one fell swoop and achieve a brilliant record , to gain prestige for himself.

Therefore, he led the soldiers to pursue them, and did not give the Lijim any buffer time to prevent them from taking the opportunity to run to the warships by the sea and escape from Hibernian.

Diopantos had a good idea, but it was a pity that the information he and Feidun knew were not equal.

Trina's Syracuse garrison general did not send someone to inform Hibernian that night after learning that his side had suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle. When the troops were divided, the defending general did not send a messenger at all, because he believed that the troops returning to Hibernian would tell the news to their home state.

Unexpectedly, this returning force encountered Lijim's landing force in the north of Hibernian City not far after crossing the Lamato River, and was quickly defeated. However, Feidun sent a small number of soldiers to chase the routed soldiers, and most of them moved south quickly and surrounded the city of Hibernian. Just before that, the Hibernians who learned that the Ligim had landed had sent a messenger to Medema for help, so Diopantos did not know that "Dionia defeated Tin." The very important news of "The Army of Rakuza", or even if he knew it, he would step up his attack in order to solve the big trouble of Lijim before the Dionysians went south, because with his previous battlefield experience, Never believed that the Dionians, who had ended their battle last night, would have arrived in Hibernian in such a short time.

But that's how the "miracle" happened. After receiving the order of Davos, Dionia's reinforcements soon set off as a whole, and halfway through, they received a messenger urgently sent by Feidun, Hiros and Antonios, Hieronymus, Ryder After a little discussion, he formulated a battle plan. They sent reconnaissance cavalry to rush to Trina first, informed Cypros, and urged the troops to speed up their march.

The Dionian soldiers who had been marching most of the time since the morning were already a little tired, but the veterans of the First Legion led by example and took the lead in carrying out the military orders seriously. They heard that after arriving in Hibernian , a victory awaited them, and the nearly 10,000 Bruty recruits immediately took their stride.

By the time the Dionysian reinforcements crossed the Corta, a tributary of the Lamato, and entered the Hibernian territory from the east, the Locris had followed the Ligiim and drove them to the coast and Lamato. A small area between rivers.

Although Dionia's fleet was moored here, the panic-stricken Lijim had no time to board the ship. The Rina soldiers crossed the Lamato River and attacked from the front.

The Locris were taken aback. They thought that the city of Trina on the other side of the Lamato River was the defender of Syracuse, but the Trina people did not expect to arrive, which caught them off guard.

Although the troops were far less than the reinforcements of Loclery, the people of Loclery had already scattered and ran away after a long pursuit. The soldiers could not find their generals, and they would not be able to manage their troops. Not only did they have no formation, but also no organization. The attack of the Rina man pierced the front, and just as Diopantos hurriedly gathered the scattered soldiers to prepare to deal with this new threat, there was a deafening cry of "Hades" from the side and rear of the Lokri army. Voice.

The Bruti troops led by Hiros, the Bruti troops led by Hieronymus, the First Army led by Antonios, and the cavalry army led by Ryders, a total of more than 15,000 people, stepped on the rumbling footsteps, with lenient footsteps. The front of the Lokri rolled over the side and rear.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, the scattered Lokri people saw such a terrifying scene, and their morale was extremely low. The rout soldiers, they are the most experienced.

The Lamato River to the north, the sea to the west, the Trina to the northeast, and the great army of Dionia to the southeast, the sailors of the Cykrian fleet also disembarked and joined the pursuit from the southwest, plus their There were more than a thousand cavalry, and the Locrites were almost surrounded... In the end more than 9,000 were captured, and less than a thousand escaped from Dionia's pursuit, not including Diopantos, though He had already thrown away his helmet, but his dazzling breastplate, which was specially made to show his difference from ordinary citizens, became the target of attention and pursuit of the Dionian cavalry, so he could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry.

When Hiros, Antonios and the others saw Feidun, he was concentrating on cleaning up the wounds of Lijim's wounded soldiers.

Hiros and Antonios looked at each other.

Antonios stepped forward and shouted respectfully, "General Feidun!"

Only then did Feidun lift his head from his busyness, and saw the soldiers wearing purple and red crowns in front of him. He hurriedly wiped his blood-stained hands on the Arma breastplate and told the soldiers beside him. He continued to deal with it, then stood up quickly, and praised loudly: "The generals of Dionia, you are too timely! In this battle, you completely defeated the main force of the Lokri!"

"No, General Feidun, you are wrong." Antonio's words made Feidun stunned, and then he heard him say: "This is a victory achieved by the joint efforts of Dionia, Lijim, and Trina! It is a glorious victory belonging to our South-Italian Alliance!"

Feidun smiled: "You're right!" This victory made Tao Ruina's pressure suddenly relieved, and his mood became happy.
