Chapter 181: The Self-Recommendation of Printols
"Matonis, don't talk nonsense, it's not that we can't attack Capitoline, it's His Majesty who ordered us to temporarily besiege it and not allow it to attack!" Epithenes cursed angrily.
"The city of Rome is still unstable. If the two adults lead the army to leave, what will happen to the city of Rome?! So we can only fight with our third army!" Lizaru interjected.
...
Several army commanders quarreled with each other in order to compete for the opportunity to play.
Seeing Davos frowning slightly, Thormid hurriedly said something to stop: "A few—"
"Your Majesty, the Second Corps, the Third Corps and the Reserve Brigade all have important tasks and cannot be dispatched lightly. I am willing to lead my troops to battle and take Kathreira in one day! At the same time, we will capture Wei Ai!"
As soon as these words came out, Matonis and the others immediately stopped arguing, and the eyes in the venue quickly focused on it.
"Printoles, now is not the time to brag, we are having a very important military meeting!" Matonis looked at him like an idiot and couldn't help sneering.
"I can swear to Hades in front of His Majesty!" Plintors said seriously.
"If our army can't be dispatched, what are you going to rely on to capture Kathrela and Wei Ai?" Epithenes looked at him with interest.
"Are you going to use the Mountain Brigade?" Davos' voice came from above.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Plintors said respectfully: "In the past two days, the three commanders of Matonis, Lizaru, and Epithenes have been busy with military affairs, and I have nothing to do, leading a team The scout soldiers quietly probed the surrounding environment and terrain around the north bank of the Tiber River. Although the city of Casereira is located on a mountain, it is not too difficult for the scout soldiers to climb over.
According to my long-term observation, even in the daytime, there are no sentries over the city of Casereira, and its defenses are relatively lax... Maybe it has something to do with its long-term friendship with Rome and the fact that it has maintained peace for more than ten years, so the surprise attack There is a good chance of success. "
"I remember that you spent a few years in the mountain reconnaissance brigade and made military exploits..." Davos looked at him and said slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"In this way, you are not talking big, the city of Casereira can indeed be climbed, are you planning to raid at night?" Davos glanced at the crowd and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes,
His Majesty. "
"What about Wei Ai? Are you also going to use the Mountain Scout Brigade to make a sneak attack?" Davos asked again.
Printols said calmly: "Let the Romans attack, Your Majesty."
Davos twitched his eyebrows, and then his eyes narrowed. He understood that the "Romans" that Plintos was talking about was the reserve team just formed by Roman civilians in the city. The number of people increased to more than 2,000. For this reason, Davos also promoted several more capable and loyal Roman civilians to serve as assistants to Sextus.
"Let these Roman civilians in the city attack Wei'ai?! It's impossible!" Matenis clearly objected: "The order in Rome is not very good now, it is these Roman civilians who caused it, and there were a few Roman civilians yesterday. The patrol was attacked! It would be too risky for such an unstable reserve to attack Wei'ai! Moreover, according to the report of the scout, although there were not many Roman soldiers in Wei'ai city, their defenses were still relatively tight. With these 2000 A number of Roman civilian reserves who have not received the formal military training of our Dionysus, it is impossible to take it down!"
"Lord Matonis, the arrested Romans have been interrogated and proven to be the patrons of the Roman nobles." Antrapolis interjected, as the Roman administrative adjutant, he was in charge of order and security in the city , so the police station and the court are under his control.
"The little nobles and diners in the city have not been cleaned up yet. It doesn't mean that this reserve team is complicated. How can we use them with confidence!" Matonis replied not to be outdone.
Asisters interjected: "I have talked to Captain Sextus of the Roman reserve team and several officers below, and they said that the soldiers are eager to make contributions in order to obtain better results. Many rewards, if we still dare not use them boldly, and still have doubts about them, I am afraid that their expectations of us will be turned into resentment, which is not conducive to our governance of the city!
They dared to take the risk, defected from the Roman army, fled back here, and surrendered to us... I believe that most of them really want to join our kingdom of Dionia, even if a small number of people have ulterior motives, so what? , just to expose them through battle. Even if the siege failed, we found hidden dangers and made these Roman civilians more loyal, which is a good thing! "
"Master Asistes is right! In the long run, our army cannot stay in Rome all the time. In the future, the main force to fight against surrounding forces is the Dionysian citizen army composed of Romans. Why not take advantage of this? When our legion is here, train them well!" Nico Marcus also suggested.
At this time, Printols further explained: "Your Majesty, I did not let the Roman reserve team storm the city of Weiai, but let them use their identities to steal Weiai."
After Plintos said this, Davos had a general idea in his mind, and he asked, "Do you want them to play the role of reinforcements for Rome?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Plintors explained seriously: "We all know that to get from the south bank of the Tiber River to the north bank, in addition to the two bridges in Rome City (Roman Vertebrate Bridge and Hexin Island Bridge) ) In addition, there is also a bridge in the upper reaches of the city of Phedenay. Since the last time Weiai failed to attack, they have been locking the city gate. Our cavalry has been patrolling the north bank of the Tiber River for the past two days, and we have not seen any The Roman soldiers entered Weiai through the upstream city of Phedena, so the Weiai people probably did not know that the Roman civilians joined us in Dionia. We can completely let the Roman civilian soldiers who escaped pretend to be their reinforcements and deceive them. Wei Ai's city gate..."
"Bang!" Davos slapped the table vigorously and praised loudly: "Very good! Printols, this plan of yours is very good! Wei Ai is on the east side of the north bank of the Tiber River, Kesslera. On the west side of the north bank, if you can capture these two towns at the same time, you can form an horn with the city of Rome, support each other, and build a barrier to the north of the city of Rome. In the future, whether it is the Etruscan attack from the north ——The Roman coalition, or the Roman-Latin coalition that crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Tiber River had to conquer this barrier first. At that time, the third legion led by Lizaru will not need to be so passively defended, completely It can free up most of the soldiers to devote themselves to other battlefields..."
Davos said this, and Lizaru looked happy.
"I decided to follow Prince's suggestion and let the Roma reserve team go for Victoria."
"Your Majesty, who do you send to command?" asked Thormid.
"As Asisters said, since these Roman civilians have joined Dionia, we must boldly appoint them, otherwise it will be different from the Roman nobles, I think... let Sextu Be the commander of the attack on Wei Ai." Davos said decisively.
"Sextus, a young Roman young man, has been actively assisting us and comforting the Roman civilians who have fled since he was elected as Chief Aventindemo." Asistus interjected.
"For these Romans who sincerely trust us, we have to be bold and give them more opportunities. Even if the attack on Wei'ai fails, we at least get a group of tested Roman civilians who are loyal to us!" The administrative elders of the Cisters deeply agreed.
"But Casslera must be captured, and it must be captured in the shortest possible time!" Davos's tone suddenly turned tough, he said: "The Roman army led by Camillous is continuously attacking Osti regardless of casualties. Yacheng, the Clippers reported yesterday that most of the trenches outside Ostia have been filled in, and the city walls have collapsed in many places. Before long, we will no longer have the geographical advantage and will have to fight the Romans directly...
We have the initiative in the battle situation, and there is absolutely no need to fight with a mad dog that is about to die, increasing the casualties of our soldiers, so we don't have to defend Ostia at all, as long as we take Kathrera, we can take it The port serves as a transit station connecting the Roman river port. Although it is farther away than Ostia, the sea trade of Cassreira is prosperous. Its port must be larger than Ostia, and its facilities are more complete. , and would not be threatened by the Romans, so—"
Davos looked directly at the staff officer he valued, raised his right fist, and swung it hard: "Printors, it's up to you to execute the plan to surprise Kessreira, if you have any needs, feel free to bring it up. We're going all out to fix it, but I hope you can quickly—no! Take it today and tomorrow, can you?!"
Printols thought for a while, and then said firmly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept this task!"
His words made Matonis, Lizaru, and Epithenes all show admiration, while Thormid looked at him with a complicated expression: King Davos gave two days, but according to Printo Inferring from the surprise attack plan of Leslie, in fact, there is only one night left, is it too late? Even the battle-hardened ones would not dare to make this guarantee.
"Very well, I'm waiting for the news of your victory!" Davers smiled, he readily agreed to Prince's request to leave the venue now and make preparations, and watched him leave with admiration.
At this time, Thormid asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to withdraw the troops in Ostia after the capture of Kathrela?"
