"Martonis, don't talk nonsense, it's not that we can't attack Capitolin, but your majesty ordered us to temporarily siege it and not to attack!" Epithenis scolded angrily.
"Rome is still unstable now. What if the two adults lead the army to leave, and there is trouble in Rome?! So we can only fight by our Third Army!" Lizaru interjected.
……
Several legion commanders quarreled with each other in order to compete for the opportunity to fight.
Seeing Daves frowning, Tolmeide hurriedly said to stop: "A few--"
"Your Majesty, the Second Army, Third Army, and Reserve Corps all have important tasks and cannot be easily dispatched. I am willing to lead my troops to take down Kesrera in one day! At the same time, I will seize Wei Ai !"
As soon as these words came out, Matonis and others immediately stopped arguing, and the eyes in the meeting room quickly focused on it. The speaker was Plintors, who had been sitting quietly next to him before.
"Plintors, 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 but mock.
"I can swear to Hades in front of your majesty!" Plintors said seriously.
"If our army can't be dispatched, what do you rely on to capture Kethrera and Wei Ai?" Epithenis looked at him with interest.
"Are you planning to use the Mountain Ridge Team?" Daves' voice came from the top.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Plintors said respectfully: "In the past two days, the three legion chiefs of Matonis, Lizaru, and Epithenes have been busy with military affairs, and I'm okay. Led a team of scout soldiers to quietly explore the environment and terrain around the north bank of the Tiber River. Although Kesrera is located on a mountain, it is not too difficult for mountain scout soldiers to climb.
According to my long-term observation, even in the daytime, no sentry can be seen on the city of Kesrera, and the defense is relatively lax... It may be related to its long-term friendship with Rome, which has maintained peace for more than ten years. , So the possibility of a successful surprise attack is very high. "
"I remember that you used to be in the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade for a few years, and you also made military exploits..." Davers looked at him and said slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"In this way, you are not talking big, Kesrera can indeed climb, are you going to raid at night?" Daves scanned the crowd and asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"So what about Wei Ai? Are you planning to use the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade to sneak an attack?" Davers asked again.
Plintors said calmly: "Let the Romans attack, Your Majesty."
Davers flicked his eyebrows, and then squinted his eyes. He understood that the "Romans" Plintors was talking about were the reserve team just formed by Roman civilians in the city. It has been there for a few days. The first few hundred people increased to more than 2,000. For this reason, Daves also promoted several more capable and loyal Roman civilians as Sextus’ assistants.
"Let these Roman civilians in the city attack Wei Ai?! This is impossible!" Matounis clearly opposed: "The order in Rome is not very good now. It was these Roman civilians who caused it. Yesterday there were a few more A Roman civilian attacked the patrol team! It was too risky to let such an unstable reserve team attack Wei Ai! And according to the scout's return, although there were not many Roman soldiers in the city, the defense was still relatively tight. With these more than 2,000 Roman civilian reserves who have not received our Dionian regular military training, it is impossible to attack it!"
"Master Matonis, the arrested Romans have been interrogated and proved to be diners of the Roman nobles." Antrapolis interjected. As the administrative adjutant of Rome, he was in charge of the city. Order and public security, so the inspection station and court are under his control.
"The little nobles and diners in the city have not been cleaned up yet. Doesn't it mean that this reserve team is complicated, how dare we use them with confidence!" Matonis replied unwillingly.
Asistus interjected: "In the past two days, I have talked with Captain Sextus of the Roman Reserve and the following team officers. They said that the soldiers desperately want to make meritorious deeds. Seeking to get more rewards. If we still dare not use them boldly, and still have doubts about them, I am afraid that their expectations of us will turn into resentment, which is not conducive to our governance of this city!
They dared to take the risk, rebel against the Roman army, fled back here, and surrendered to us... I believe most of them really want to join our Kingdom of Dionia, even if a small number of people have ulterior motives, then What is it, it happens to be exposed to them through battle. Even if the siege failed, we discovered hidden dangers and made these Roman civilians more loyal. This 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 the surrounding forces is the Dionian citizen army composed of the Romans. Why not take advantage of our legion to train them while they are here!" Nicomacus also suggested.
At this time, Plintors further explained: "Your Majesty, I am not letting the Roman reserve team attack Victory City, but let them use their identities to obtain Victory."
After what Plintors said, Daves had a bottom line in his heart, and he asked: "Do you want them to act as the reinforcements of Rome?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Plintors explained earnestly: "We all know that to travel from the south bank to the north bank of the Tiber, except for the two bridges in Rome (the Roman Vertebral Bridge and the River Heart) In addition to the island’s bridge), there is also a bridge to cross the upper reaches of the city of Phodenai. Since the last Wei Ai’s failure, they have been locking the city gates. Our cavalry has been patrolling the north bank of the Tiber River for the past two days. Seeing Roman soldiers entering Vai via the upper reaches of the city of Phodine, Vai’s people probably did not know that Roman civilians had joined us in Dionian. We can make the Roman civilian soldiers who escaped pretend to be their reinforcements. , Deceived the gate of Wei Ai..."
"Bang!" Daves patted the desk forcefully, and loudly praised: "Very good! Priintoles, your plan is very good! Wei Ai is on the east side of the north bank of the Tiber River, Kay Sreira is on the west side of the North Bank. If he can take the two towns at the same time, he can be a horn of each other with the city of Rome, support each other, and build a barrier on the north side of the city of Rome. The Luria-Roman coalition forces, or the Roman-Latin coalition forces that crossed the upper reaches of the Tiber River, had to overcome this barrier first. At that time, the Third Army led by Lizaru would not have to be so passive. Defense can free up most of the soldiers to invest in other battlefields..."
At the end of Davers's words, Lizaru was beaming with joy.
"I decided to take Primples's suggestion and let the Roma reserve team take care of Wei Ai."
"Your Majesty, who do you send to command?" Tolmid asked.
"As Asistes said, since these Roman civilians have joined Dionia, we must use them boldly, otherwise they are different from the Roman nobles. I think... Kestus will be the commander of the attack on Wei Ai." Daves said decisively.
"Sextus, a young Roman man, is a good one. Since his election as Chief Aventine Dermo, he has been actively assisting us and pacifying the Roman civilians who have fled back." Assistus interjected.
"For these Romans who sincerely take refuge in us, we must be bold enough to give them more opportunities. Even if the attack on Wei Ai fails, we will at least get a group of tested and loyal Roman civilians!" Daves said The words made the administrative veterans of Asistus deeply agree.
"But Kesrera must be captured, and it must be captured in the shortest time!" Daves' tone suddenly turned tough, he said: "The Roman army led by Camilos is on a continuous onslaught regardless of casualties. Ostia, the Clippers reported yesterday that most of the trenches outside Ostia have been filled, and the walls have collapsed in many places. Before long, we will no longer occupy the land and have to fight directly with the Romans. ...
We have the initiative in the battle. There is no need to fight a mad dog that is about to die to increase the casualties of our soldiers, so we don’t have to defend Ostia at all. As long as we take down Kesrera, we will Its port can be used as a transit point connecting the port of the Roman River. Although it is farther than Ostia, the sea trade of Kesrera is prosperous. Its port must be larger than Ostia with facilities. To be more complete, and not to be threatened by the Romans, so—"
Davers looked directly at the staff officer he respected, raised his right fist, and gave a strong wave: "Plintorus, you will carry out the surprise attack on Kethrera. If you have any need, please We put it forward and we do our best to solve it, but I hope you can do it as soon as possible-no! Can you take it within two days today and tomorrow?!"
Plintors thought for a while, and then said firmly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept this task!"
His words made Matonis, Lizaru, and Epithenis all admire, while Tormid looked at him with a complicated expression: King Daves gave him two days. You can follow Priintoles' surprise plan inferred that, in fact, there is only one night left. Is it too late? Even the battle-tested, they dare not make this guarantee.
"Very well, I am waiting for your victory!" Daves smiled, he readily agreed to Primples' request to leave the meeting place now to make preparations, and witnessed him with admiration. Leave.
At this time, Tolmid asked: "Your Majesty, are you planning to withdraw the troops in Ostia after the capture of Kesrera?"
