Chapter 177 The Destruction of the Town of Papania

Contruk, the chief of Caracheni, said coldly: "I hope this time the plan can be implemented smoothly, otherwise—"

Although the old man didn't finish his sentence, Leskuk knew he was reminding himself.

The plan of the Samone coalition to attack the Downey area was mainly drawn up by Leschuk. In addition to the success of the initial raid, the subsequent attacks failed miserably. The three major Cheney tribes suffered heavy losses. While Lisguk was criticized by the other two chiefs, he also realized that after his initial success, he was a little dizzy and even forgot to execute his original plan. The idea: Don't fight the Dionians on the flat ground, but take advantage of the mountain battles that the Samonites are good at.

However, the Dionysian commander in Downey remained calm despite the successive victories, and was not tempted by the Samones to march on the hills rashly.

Leskuk and the others finally felt that they could not get any advantage in the Downey area, but they were unwilling to stop the harassment of Dionia, so that Dionia could focus on destroying other enemies, so they Had to turn the target to the west, the weak Dionian allies - the Campania Alliance and the empty Lucania region seemed to be better targets for harassment.

Moreover, because Kautini suffered a disastrous defeat before, a large number of soldiers were captured, so when the Samona coalition attacked Downey, Kautini did not send too many soldiers, so the losses suffered were also small. It just so happened that the previously captured Kautini warriors had been released by the Dionysians and returned to the tribe, making Kautini now the strongest of the four tribes.

Segovani, who had also just returned to Kautim, readily agreed after hearing the plans of the three chiefs, and the reason was not just because of repayment (the three tribes used the hostages of Gruum in the Downey area) forced Dionia to release Kautini's captive), also because he needed the support of the other high chiefs and high priests to enable him to regain his position as chief. Of course, he also hated Dionia, who had given him a great humiliation, and hoped that he could cause a lot of trouble for him.

The two sides hit it off.

This is why the four of them, Leskuk, Contruk, Badani, and Jonny, are here.

Enona, a city on the northwest frontier of the Dionysian kingdom, although the Samonites were at war with Dionia, and Enona, in turn, bordered the Nakonia region of the Kautini tribe. The city has remained peaceful, and every day people or businessmen go to the small town of Papania in the northeast.

But on this day, the sentry at the head of the city of Enona saw a long group of people coming from the northeast from a distance. They helped the old and the young, carried packages, and drove the pack carts. Nacheng rushes.

Walking at the forefront were several Hades priests in white robes. They rushed to the city guard and shouted in a hurry: "Segovani, the chief of Kautini... led the army to capture it. Nakonia City, we got a message from the Nakonia believers... we escaped first... Papania is in danger! I have informed the town's chief Demo, but there are still Many people did not leave, hurry up to send troops to rescue! Quick! Quick!  …”

The chief executive of the city of Enona is Adriankes. He has been in office for three years, and his term is almost over. However, due to the recent outbreak of several wars in Dionia, and it is impossible to end in a short time, in such a situation. Under the situation, in order to ensure the stability of the kingdom, his term of office may be extended, so he has been more at ease and continued to perform his duties earnestly.

At the city hall, he was shocked when he received an urgent report from the captain of the city guard, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and ring the alarm bell, so that the whole city will be put into emergency combat readiness! And... quickly send someone to the military camp outside the city to inform General Zantiparis, let him lead his army to defend Papania!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Looking at the back of the captain of the city guard leaving in a hurry, Adriankes looked solemn. He knew that the tranquility of Enona had been broken and the war had struck!

While worrying about the life and death of the people of Papania, he remembered another important matter, so he immediately called the clerk: "Send someone to Pompeii immediately and tell them that the Cautini people have changed, let Kan The Pania Alliance strengthens its vigilance, and be careful of the Kautini invasion again!"

Zantiparis originally came to the Lucania region under the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs to form a reserve army to replace the third army and undertake the defense task of the entire northwestern region of the Kingdom of Dionia.

Initially he settled at the barracks near Grummentum, but after the Samonites invaded the Downey area, Zantiparis changed his base to near Enona, after all, this is the closest to the Samonites (although Kopsa, too, thought Abenerum, as a barrier, was much more reliable than Nakonia). Unexpectedly, he had just finished the preparation of the reserve corps hard, and the military affairs department asked Epithenes to take four brigades away from him, but did not allow him to expand any more, which made him quite helpless.

……………………………………

Just as the Dionysian army and the Roman army fought fiercely in the city of Ostia, Segovani led the Samonai army, held the surrendered Nakonia leader, and successfully entered the Nakonia region. , occupied the settlements of the tribes that did not submit to him (including the tribe of Quinduc), and threatened the safety of his tribe's family members with his troops to attack the small town of Papania in Enona.

The town, which was built under the supervision of Asistes, the chief executive of Enona, seven years ago, has become quite prosperous thanks to the frequent exchanges between Dionia and Naconia, and it was originally designed to show Daionia. The sincerity of the Onian people towards the Nakonians removed their alertness, and did not arrange too many defensive forces in this small town, and the enemy came suddenly, so it was easily captured.

Segovani captured the Dionysian people who were still in the town, and then ordered the Nakonian warriors to burn down Papania, forcing it to break with Dionysia completely, and then returned to Naconia with his army. At the same time, troops were sent to block the mountain road leading to Enona.

The reason why Segovani did not directly attack Enona was the decision made by several great leaders after the painful lessons of the Dawney area, and they aimed at the weaker Campania alliance. .

When Segovani led his army into Nakonia, the nearly 10,000 Samona coalition troops who had been waiting for a long time in the small mountain town of Abela ( ) quickly moved westward, passing through Cesara, and headed straight for Rangka. The Udinis suffered a great loss from the city of Atlas.

Due to the great meeting of the leaders of Cautini held in Lola before, the Campania League headed by Naples turned the center of defense to the southeast, and did not prepare for the surprise of the Samonais in the northeast. Art Ra - this small town on the border of the Confederate territory of Campania fell quickly under the onslaught of Samonei warriors.

At the same time, after Segovani, who had burned the town of Papania, returned to Nakonia, he led 7,000 Kautini warriors (including more than 3,000 Nakonians) without stopping. Sharply to the southwest, attack Pompeii, only 20 miles from Naconia.

Pompeii has been living peacefully with Naconia for more than ten years because of Dionia, and never expected that there would be an enemy attacking from the southeast, and the attack speed was so fast. In a hurry, most of the people outside the city did not have time to retreat into the city, and they became the captives of the Kautini people.

……………………………………

After receiving the order from Adrianx, Zantiparis was not excited about the upcoming battle, because there was only one large group of soldiers in the barracks.

This is actually quite normal, because under normal circumstances, soldiers of a regiment bring their own rations and standard weapons and equipment to the military camp from their own homes within three or four days, and conduct a military training under the leadership of military training officers, unless the Ministry of Military Affairs The Military Training Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs notified the entire legion to carry out joint training, which is usually carried out by each battalion in turn (the usual training of the military camps of each legion is in charge of the military training officer dispatched by the Military Training Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Kingdom. The legion commander has no right to intervene, but he can be on the side. Observe the training situation, understand the condition of his soldiers, and make his own training suggestions. He has the right to command his own legion only after being authorized by the king and the Ministry of War.).

Originally, in this severe situation, Zantiparis should concentrate all the legionnaires in the barracks, but in this way, when the rations brought by the soldiers are exhausted, the barracks have to provide food, usually from nearby. The granaries in the region have been allocated, and now the food is in short supply, Zantiparis can only let each battalion take turns to be stationed in the military camp.

Although there were only 1,000 soldiers in the barracks, Zantiparis did not hesitate to gather them and quickly marched towards Papania.

At the same time, Zantiparis also ordered the messengers to immediately rush to the four seaside towns of Enona, Poseidonia, Elia, and Picocis, and informed the soldiers of several other battalions to gather at the barracks immediately. When Epithenes came to mobilize the troops, he was more careful, and he specially asked Epithenes to take away the citizens who were mainly composed of citizens from the inland towns of Lucania such as Grummentum and Niutum. The brigade, and the brigade composed of citizens of the coastal towns, is to inform the soldiers to gather in the future and the soldiers to arrive at the barracks more quickly.

After the troops bypassed Enona, they encountered people fleeing all the way. They shouted in panic: "The Kautinis are here! They have captured Papania!  …"
