Chapter 55: The Advice of Printols

? Cypros looked around the crowd and asked: "Commander Prosous has clearly told everyone his battle plan. Do you have any questions? If not, then we will discuss how to raise funds according to this plan. Military rations, and the transfer of citizens to help build defensive camps and fortresses, and pre-planning how to solve the problem of spring planting in the absence of labor—"

"Lord Cypros, I have a question!" Taunis Chief General Tirias shouted loudly.

Cypros's speech was interrupted, he did not express any dissatisfaction, but asked calmly: "Please tell me, Lord Tirias."

"What General Prosous said just now was mainly about how to defend against the attack of the Carthaginians. If the Carthaginians really sent an army of 70,000 or 80,000, it is obviously not the number of troops we have now that can be repelled. So when will Dionia send a large army to drive them away?!" Tirias asked with concern.

Leotides glanced at him and said indifferently: "As long as we hold on long enough, even if we don't need to send troops, we can still repel the enemy."

"Hold on long enough? How long?!" Tirias exclaimed with some dissatisfaction: "It can be seen from your previous remarks, General, that Taunis will be the focus of defense against the Carthaginian attack. I don't want to. To see at last the Carthaginians were driven back and Taunis was in ruins!"

Leotidas looked a little ugly.

"Lord Tirias." Philisius said quickly, "Don't worry, His Majesty Davos has already sent several caravans to Egypt and the Eoke Sea area to buy food, as long as you have enough food, and Jia The Taiji army has also begun to attack, and several legions of Nanyi will soon reinforce Sicily... Your Majesty will never sit back and watch the Carthaginians ravage the Sicilian territory of Dionia and the land of the allies!"

Only then did Hippogritta, the chief general of Tirias and Leotine, express his satisfaction.

…………………………

After the Dionysian First Legion hit the Roman army hard, because of its own losses, it basically spent the next few days resting in the city of Bolefnum. On the fifth day, they began to prepare to build the camp, but they were rewarded by the scout: "Satnicum was captured by the Roman army, and the Roman army there is already marching to the south of the Volsci territory!"

It would take the Roman army at most two days to travel from Sartnicum to Setia at its normal marching speed, and these short two days were not enough for the First Army to build a well-defended camp, and the First Army Having dealt such a big blow to the Romans, his camp will definitely become the focus of the Romans' attack. Can the damaged First Army resist the revengeful attack of the Romans?

After a discussion between Amyntas and Printores,

The decision was made to ask the Wolsey for "the 1st Legion to remain in Bolefnum", which was of course welcomed by the Wolsey.

On the sixth day after that battle, Amyntas received a letter from Davos.

In the letter, Davos praised Amyntas for actively seeking fighter planes after he arrived in the Volsey area, and won a brilliant victory with fewer victories, which was a great victory for the Dionysian army in the Latium area. Prestige, conducive to further operations of the Dionian army in central Italy in the future...

At the end of the letter, Davos reminded politely: "...I heard that this battle caused a lot of casualties to the First Corps. I hope the injured soldiers can get good treatment and recovery! In view of the First Corps The strength is damaged. I suggest not to conduct new military operations in a short period of time, and let the soldiers rest well. We are fulfilling the covenant and assisting the Volsci against the Romans, not to defend our homeland, so there is no need to do everything Do your best..."

In the end, Davos also said with concern: "...From this battle, we can see that the Romans are strong in combat, so I have sent someone to notify the commander of the Third Legion stationed in the Campania League. Lizaru, you can strengthen contact with Lizaru, the First Army can ask the Third Army for assistance when encountering difficulties in future battles, but please remember! The First Legion has been stationed in Volsi for a long time, because Campania still needs them!  …”

Amyntas was silent after reading the letter: in his view, those words in Davers' final letter were criticisms of him. Moreover, Davos suggested that the First Army should passively avoid the battle in the next battle, which made him a little difficult to accept.

Therefore, when Plintos came in, he did not want to show this letter to Plintos, but the beginning of the letter clearly stated: To the commander of the Armintas and Plintos Read together.

So he silently handed the letter in his hand to Printols.

After Plintos read it, he understood the reason why Amintas was unhappy. In the past few days, the Volsi people have flattered Amyntas, and he is watching it on the side. For Amyntas agreeing to the demands of the Volsi people, "When Setia was in danger, he Will lead the First Corps and other Volsey troops out of town to the rescue."

In this regard, Printoles is firmly opposed: After the Roman army converged, they had more than 40,000 troops. Even if they attacked the city with all their strength, there would be enough remaining troops to intercept the rescue troops. At the same time, the Setian people who escaped from the city are very likely to disrupt the formation of the rescue troops under the pursuit of the Romans.

But Amintas did not listen to his advice.

At this moment, he read the letter several times over and over again, applauding the wise decision of His Majesty, he also had an idea in his heart, he asked tentatively: "Commander, Your Majesty is afraid that our First Army will suffer serious losses, let us not Fighting head on with the Romans?"

"Your Majesty is far away in Turii, and I don't know much about the situation here." Amyntas said with a stern face, "If we allow the Romans to attack Setia with all their strength and not rescue them, once Setia falls, Bo Lavernum will be the next target to be attacked. The Romans can completely surround Bollevenham without fighting, and divide their troops to attack the empty cities of Selcher and Teresina. By then... hum , we are really trapped in this land!"

Plintos smiled and said, "Commander, you didn't understand what His Majesty said. He wouldn't let us fight recklessly, because he had already given us a way to repel the Romans."

Amyntas was stunned for a moment, grabbed the letter, and read it carefully again, still to no avail, so he said impatiently: "Don't go around in circles, where is the way to repel the Romans?"

Printoles restrained his smile and said sternly: "Look at the commander of the army, there are more than 40,000 people in the Roman army, all of which are in front of the city of Setia, and it is impossible to have enough troops behind them to defend the just now. The occupied land of Volsi. And His Majesty let the Third Army cooperate with us, the Third Army is now stationed in the Campania region, not far from here, and we have the commander of Midorades. The Third Fleet controls this sea area, so we can completely—"

"You can raid the rear of the Romans! Just like when His Majesty besieged Dionysius, but sent Antonios to lead the First Army to raid Sicily!" if.

"Yes, Legion Commander." Plintors saw Amyntas' expression and knew that he had accepted the proposal, so he instead reminded: "Captain, in order to prevent the Romans here from returning to help, you From time to time, the coalition army should be led out of the city, posing for reinforcements, forcing the Romans to deal with it with all their might and not daring to divide their troops."

Armintas put his hands on his hips, thought for a moment, and said, "Your suggestion is correct. However, we must send a messenger immediately to inform Lizaru in Campania, so that this kid is always ready!"

………………………………

Another Roman army, led by two military officers, Quintus and Licinius, came to the Roman camp, and after joining the forces of Camillous and Frius, its number of soldiers reached nearly 45,000 people.

The two new military officers were taken aback when they learned that the Dionian entry had resulted in a defeat for the army. However, the successive victories before, coupled with the news from the Senate that "the ally Carthage will increase their support for them, and will soon launch an attack on Dionia in Sicily", so the two not only have no fear , but aroused their fighting spirit.

Quintus was a nobleman, his full name was Quintus Claudius Crassus Sabinus, from the Claudius family, one of the most distinguished clans in Rome. As early as the beginning of the founding of Rome, under the leadership of the patriarch Attius Claudius, the entire family migrated to Rome. The men of this family have always been unfriendly to the commoners, and most of them are arrogant, tough, and uncompromising. , strong will, a strong sense of responsibility, and a strong physique, Quintus is no exception.

The identity of another military and political officer, Licinius, is also not simple. His full name is Pubrius Licinius Calvius. Although he is from a wealthy civilian, he is a The first civilian to become a military officer in the struggle between the Roman civilian class and the aristocracy in the past ten years, he has become a role model for the Roman civilians. And this year is his third time as a military and political officer, and he will never allow himself to back down in the face of a powerful enemy, resulting in damage to his reputation.

In order to sever the connection between Setia and Bolefnum, and to better attack the city, the two military officers suggested that the camp should be relocated between the two Volscy towns, which was obtained by Camelus. agree.
