Chapter 199 Pursuit

Although Licinius was the commander of this allied army, he actually had no troops under his command. Faced with such a critical situation, the only way he could think of was: hurry up and inform Titus , let him send the army to stabilize the situation here! otherwise……

Just as Licinius dispatched his messengers in a hurry, the Latin Allies were defeated far faster than he imagined, starting from a small array on the right flank, and then the chaos gradually spread to the entire right flank, and then quickly spread. To the mid lane, to the whole array...

After all, the Latin Allied Forces were made up of more than a dozen Latin city-states and tribes, and it was difficult to make concerted efforts to completely obey orders. What's more, they are fighting here, partly to fulfill the covenant, and partly because they are afraid of dying and fighting for their own safety. But they never had the determination to fight to the death, so when the soldiers of a city-state escaped, the soldiers and generals of the nearby city-state army were unwilling to continue fighting and became scapegoats, so the entire array quickly disintegrated like an avalanche.

…………………………

The commander of the Voch coalition was the consul Kataimontares of Bolefnum (given that the Volseys fought 5,000 men, more than the Helniki, and the Volseys had previously been strong Aid Herniki, because the Herniki people had no complaints to make Kataimontares the commander of the coalition, and obeyed his command with all his strength), holding a shield and spear, he charged at the team's In the front, he shouted wantonly, and his heart was indescribably happy. He had never defeated the Latin people so easily as today.

After defeating the Latin Allies, the originally tired Voch Allied soldiers seemed to be reinvigorated. They shouted and chased the fleeing Latins, forcing most of the Latin routed to flee north.

After receiving the report of Licinius asking for help, Titus was greatly shocked. In fact, the entire army was retreating at an accelerated rate, and it was impossible to divide a unit in a short time to support the Latin Allied Forces. He could only urge the Roman army to continue to speed up their retreat.

However, Titus did not expect that the Latin troops would come so quickly. Those Latin light infantrymen who were wearing only a thin coat and threw away their weapons and clothing ran at the front in panic, and then, like headless flies, It crashed directly into the Roman army that was still behind (that is, the part of the Roman soldiers who was responsible for attacking the camp before), and immediately disrupted the formation and hindered their retreat.

Behind these Latin light infantry more troopers were fleeing, and behind the Roman army were the Dionian soldiers in hot pursuit. . . .

In such a bad situation, how could Titus dare to stop the retreating army, but the leak happened to rain overnight: "General Titus, several hundred Dionian cavalry are rushing from the northwest. , General Aulus is leading his cavalry to stop it!"

"Report to General Titus,

There are more than 2000 Dionysian light infantry rushing from the north, less than 200 meters away from us! "

...

Titus did not expect the Dionian army from the city of Rome to come so quickly, he knew very well that there were more Dionian heavy infantry behind these Dionian light infantry. Now around the Roman army: the Dionysian army in hot pursuit to the east, the Voch coalition to the south who scrambled the rear of his army, and the north of the soon-to-be-rushed Dionysian from the city of Rome The army, there are Dionian cavalry in the northwest, the only thing that is not blocked by the enemy is the southwest... Titus is in a state of anxiety, he feels that the retreat speed of the Roman army, which is still maintaining order and formation, is still too slow, and there may be at any time. The danger of being fully surrounded, so in a hurry, he issued an order: "Notify the entire army that it is not necessary to maintain the formation, throw down unnecessary heavy objects, and quickly retreat to Villitre!"

At the same time, he also ordered the messengers to immediately rush to the barracks of Tustron, and informed the dictator Camelus to retreat westward.

After Titus' order was issued, it didn't take long for the entire Roman army to become a mess of sand. Everyone threw away their shields and spears, and even helmets and breastplates, and fled forward desperately.

The Dionian soldiers, Wolsey, and Heniki warriors who pursued them naturally followed suit, and the originally planned siege soon turned into a chaotic chase and race.

By the time Quintus led his army to the battlefield, the place had become extremely chaotic, in the deafening cries, in the scattered dust, Romans, Latins, Volsci, Herniki, The Dionians are all mixed up...

Quintus was stunned for a while, not knowing how to proceed to intercept the enemy and ensure the smooth retreat of the Roman army.

He didn't need to make a decision at all. The soldiers under his command soon lost their will to fight under such a mighty momentum, and fled with their compatriots...

After the pursuit of Dionia's side lasted for half an hour, they had to sound the bugle to retreat, because at this time the chasing troops had run to the south of Tustron Mountain, and most of the soldiers had lost their organization. There are several Latin allies of Rome around, if they go out of the city to raid at this time... Davos didn't dare to take any more risks.

While escorting the captured Romans or Latins, the soldiers cleaned the battlefield and began to retreat one after another...

At this time, Davos met on the battlefield to meet the leaders of the Bolefnum consul Kataimontares and Helniki's general general Nemeri and others.

If it is said that the magical rumors about Dionia and King Davos heard by the leaders of Wolsey and Heniki in the past, they were just talking about drinking and chatting, and they did not take it too seriously, but this time, Dai Forth led the Dionian army to capture the city of Rome and finally defeated the Roman army. Such a brilliant record has attracted the attention of the surrounding forces, not to mention that the Dionysians have successively conquered Kesley after occupying the city of Rome. Ra, Viai and Phedene, forced to surrender Prinister... have taken root in the Latinum area, replacing the previous Rome and becoming the new overlord of this area.

It is precisely because of this realization that Catemmentares and the others will inevitably be a little cautious when they meet King Davos of Dionia.

On the other hand, Davos smiled and praised them: "I'm glad to see you, Dionia's friendliest allies! Thanks to your full cooperation, we will have today's great victory!"

Davos's words were very useful to the leaders of the Voch coalition forces present, Kataimontares saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty the King, it is precisely because of your excellent plan that we have followed the implementation. Victory today!"

"This is the governor of Bolefnum, Katai Montales, and the commander of the Voch coalition this time." Tapirus, who was on the side, quickly introduced.

Davos listened to the interpreter and said solemnly: "You Wolsey completely trust us without reservation, whether it is to prevent the Roman messenger from entering the Tullelus Valley to inform the army of Camillous, or this Once willing to risk the emptiness of the territory, but also to carry out our plan with all my strength, this makes me feel that although Wolsey and our Dionysus have not been allied for a long time, you and I are already good allies who can trust each other and share weal and woe. So please rest assured, Dionia will help Wolsey in the future, gradually regain your lost territories, and help you restore their prosperity!"

Unexpectedly, he would get the promise of King Davos at this moment, Katai Montareston was pleasantly surprised and thanked him repeatedly.

Then Nemeli, the general of Helniki's army, came forward to greet him.

Davos, of course, had to make a commitment to this new ally, he said sincerely: "Although you Helniki have recovered all the lost land, I heard that you were severely damaged in this war, and Rebuilding your homeland is a difficult process, and we Dionia have had such a tragic experience before, so we deeply understand it! We will do our best to help you restore the prosperity of your territory as soon as possible, and ensure your safety!  …”

The leaders of the Vorhe coalition were all happy to hear what Davos said.

At this time, Nemeri asked again: "Your Majesty the King, Dionia defeated Rome and became the new owner of the city of Rome. Now some forces are worried that Dionia will become the second Rome!"

Hearing this, Davos immediately became serious: "Thank you for your reminder, what forces do you mean by some forces?"

Nemeri hesitated a bit, but finally said: "I only know the Masi people and the Aigui people. Before I called the soldiers to participate in this battle, they once sent people to dissuade me and expressed their concerns in this regard... …”

Davos nodded, he glanced at everyone, and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he knew immediately: this is probably not just a problem that the Eques and Masi people are worried about, but all the people around Rome. The issues that all the forces are concerned about, of course, also include the Wolsey and the Herniki.

Davos pondered for a while, and then said aloud: "Dionysian does not border Rome, and there is no conflict of interest, because Rome has invaded your territory on a large scale. When you are facing an existential crisis, we Dionysian In order to fulfill the covenant, Ya decided to go to war with Rome. So far, Dionia has fought against Rome and its allies, and the cities and towns captured are also owned by Rome and its allies.

Whether it is the Masi, the Equus, the Etruscans, or the Sabines, as long as they are willing to live in peace with Dionia, we Dionia will never covet their land for no reason. to go to war with them! On the contrary, we Dionia are happy to have friendly exchanges with them, conduct trade, enhance friendship, and jointly maintain the peace and tranquility of this region! ...
