In the Carthage Senate, the offensives led by the Magonis family, which has received strong support from the people, strongly criticized the conservatives led by Hanno. They proposed to attack Syracuse and rebuild Carthage. The proposal of the security barrier to the north was finally passed.
So the Carthage Senate once again appointed the chief of the Magonis family, one of the Carthage Sofitel (similar to the Archon, but also two) Shimirko as the commander in command, and began to recall that it had just been sent to open up Ibi The army of the Leah Peninsula, the commander of the army is Shimilko’s brother Margo, and at the same time began to prepare rations for the army.
…………………………
A major incident occurred in Grumentum a day ago. The two small tribes in the north of Lud and Brina clashed due to territorial issues, and even had armed fighting. The city chief, Baggul, personally went to mediate. As a result, he was suddenly besieged by his tribal warriors. Baghul was unprepared. Thanks to his personal guards desperately breaking the siege, he fled back to the city of Grumentum. Soon it was reported that Baghul was seriously injured and dying. The news, at the same time, the city gate was closed, and the city was heavily guarded, but no soldiers were sent to attack the two tribes that blatantly raised the anti-flag.
For a time outside the city, the people of the tribes under Grumentum's administration were panicked, and rumors arose.
The news soon reached Picosis and Potentia.
"Son, the old fox Puamote has finally taken action! We can't wait any longer, we must send troops to attack Grumentum!" Sinsingnag said excitedly and anxiously.
"Father, didn't you say that after Potentia sent troops, let's send troops again!" Seeing Cincinnag's excitement, Gnainart asked incomprehensibly.
"The situation now is different from before! Although Potentia did not send troops, they have already acted. Didn't you just hear that the lord of Grummentum was ambushed and seriously injured." , This must be a good thing that Puamote and the others secretly instigated the Grumentum tribes adjacent to Potentia! It stands to reason that the Dionians should send troops to retaliate against those tribes, but Dai The Onia did not. Instead, they locked the gates tightly. What does this mean?!"
Sincingnag waved his arms and said excitedly: "It shows that the Dionians have no extra troops to suppress the rebellious tribes. Their soldiers have been deployed to attack Bruti. They came yesterday. Why didn’t the Envoy of Bruti be so nervous the last time we begged us to join? He has already made it very clear, “Dionia sent a force of nearly 20,000 to attack the Bruti Mountains from the north, but was still unable to attack. They went to the city of Weg, and suffered heavy casualties; they also had 10,000 people attacking Knapetia from the south, and they were also blocked outside the mountains, unable to move forward.' Dionia is in a predicament of fighting the Bruti So the Dionians here just want to defend the city of Grumentum. Now, the tribes of Grumentum are like little calves that have lost their mothers. In front of Tia, an army was immediately sent to the territory of Grummentum. Those tribes will inevitably submit one after another, and our team will grow rapidly. It will be too late when Puamote arrives, Gru. We, Picosis, have the final say in Mentum!" Cincinnag couldn't help chattering at the thought of his pride.
"Father, I'm going to summon the soldiers!" Gnainart was so excited by his father's words that he strode out of the living room, and Cincinnag's hateful voice came from behind him: "Cunning Dai Onians, dare to take away my Grumentum, I finally waited for the day of revenge! O God Asinu, I, Sinsingnag, will sacrifice to you with the blood of the Greeks, and hope to get you Blessing!"
…………………………
"Big brother, what are you still hesitating!" Pollert yelled anxiously, "Picosis has already started, and it must be the cunning Cincinnagra who has approached the tribes of Grumentum. , The design has severely damaged the Bagul of Dionia! Now, Picsis’s army must have set off. If we don’t send troops, Grumentum will belong to Picsis!"
Compared to Polet’s impatient disposition, Puamote, the over fifty-year-old Potentia chief sat on a wooden chair. Hearing these words, his eyebrows didn’t move. , Said slowly: "I still said that-wait."
"Brother, you don't want to take risks. Why don't I bring some fighters to Grumentum first--" Polete was so anxious that he wanted to say it again. Puamote's expression became serious, and he looked at his own The younger brother said in a cold voice, "Potentia is still in charge. If you want to give orders, wait until I die."
Pollett didn't dare to speak anymore. He and Puamote were nearly 20 years old. His father died early. He was actually taken care of by this brother and grew up, so although he is a brother, he is more like a father and son.
"Pollett." Puamote's tone became milder: "Don't forget how we lost Grumentum."
Pollett didn't speak, but his expression was obviously unconvinced.
Puamote sighed, his face a little more solemn: "I know you have been complaining about me being too cautious in doing things all these years, and you did not interfere in the disputes within Lucania. You used to allow Akpiru to become bigger. , And now he refuses to act on the fat of Grumentum... But you must know that our Potentias are different from Picosis and Grumentum. They are surrounded by Lucani. Yaren, and there are terrible Samonis to the north. Don’t forget what our ancestors always warned us, “We were driven to this mountainous area by these Samonas from the north”, Don’t look at the fact that these Samoneite tribes are not fighting with us now. It’s because we have enough warriors and they still have to deal with the Greeks in the west, so they are in peace. But if our strength is weakened, you think those Will the hungry wolf spare Pau Tia?"
Pollett's expression moved slightly.
"At the beginning of the year, I did not resist your repeated requests to send troops to Grumentum. In the end, you and the soldiers were captured by the Dionians... Do you know... During that time, the Samonaes sent The messenger came to me and said that he was willing to borrow troops to help me defeat the Dionians."
Now Pollet was moved, he couldn't help but asked urgently: "Is there such a thing?! Did you agree?!"
"Agree?" Puamote sneered: "If I agree, Potentia would have belonged to Samona. Fortunately, we made peace with Dionia in time and put you back. I was relieved. Now, the situation in Grumentum is complicated. I don't know what the war between Dionia and Bruti will end up. I can't see clearly... Don't send troops if you can't see clearly. If Cincinnag wants to **** Grummentum, let him **** it. Dionians are not that easy to deal with."
After listening to Polett, he was silent for a while, and asked unwillingly: "If this is the case, why do you agree to form an alliance with Bruti again?"
Puamote’s muddy eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "The alliance is also for another way out, Asinu bless you! In case there is a good opportunity... So now we have to calm down and wait slowly... "
………………………
Pi Anlun rushed back to Cosenza, just to stop Nikulu who had hurriedly returned from Knapetia with his troops, and finally convinced him to stay in Cosenza and wait until the army was assembled before attacking together. Signia.
It didn't take long for the scout to report: The Greeks built a fortress on the road leading to the plateau in Bisignia.
Pianlun can no longer sit still. If the Greeks are allowed to repair the fortress, it will undoubtedly make it more difficult to retake Bisignia. He had to let Nikuru lead his soldiers to obstruct him, and added a thousand soldiers from other tribes to him, and repeatedly asked him not to fight the Greeks.
After Niculu led his troops in a hurry for three hours, he could vaguely see the Greeks in front of him, his eyes widened: They turned the exit of the mountain road into a large construction site, digging holes, piling, Moving wood...a scene of enthusiasm, and a wooden wall three meters high and tens of meters long stands there impressively. There are gates, crevices, trenches, and deer villages. All the necessary facilities for the fortress are basically complete.
Nikuru's action is also fast, but it has been a day and a half since the Second Army occupied Bisignia. The commander of the Army Dracos seized the opportunity of this day and a half and divided his 7000 soldiers into three teams. , Intensify the construction of fortresses day and night in turn. The soldiers also knew that time was pressing, and they had sold enough energy. Coupled with some simple defensive facilities assembled by engineering operations, the fortress had already begun to take shape when Nikuru arrived.
When the scouts scattered out spotted the Bruti team, they rushed to report back. The bugle was sounded in the fortress, and the working soldiers retreated unhurriedly.
Nicuru was surprised by the speed at which the Dionian soldiers built the fortress, knowing that Bisignia took seven or eight days to remove the fortress facing Cosenza, but he was even more angry that the Greeks were in his territory. Do whatever you want.
"Kill the Greeks outside the city!" He gave an order and the horn blew. His soldiers hated the enemy for taking away their hometown. Dionians with weapons.
Under the command of the team officer, the Dionian soldiers did not panic. They passed through the gate in an orderly manner and evacuated into the wall. The soldiers at the end of the team even turned their heads and looked back in some spare time, expecting something good to happen.
At a distance of 50 meters from the city wall, the Bissinian soldiers who charged suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. When they pulled out their feet, they were all bloody, not the tips buried in the grass. The wooden stake pierces the toe board, which means that a **** hole is drawn by the meat hook, and the small pit can twist the ankle...
