He looked back and looked around at the army commanders who were also observing the Tiber River, and said: "According to rumors, the Tiber River was often flooded hundreds of years ago, and the middle and lower reaches of the river were full of swamps. And the wetlands, especially in this one, so no race or force is willing to build here, only the Romans who were squeezed out by the Latins chose to settle here, and now they have become the overlords of central Italy..."

"But now we are here, its overlord should give way!" Amintas said immediately. The victory of yesterday's battle and the congratulations from King Davos and his colleagues just now made him very energetic.

"Yeah, this is our goal, but we need to fight to achieve it." Daves smiled slightly and looked at the commander of the Third Army: "Lizaru, I asked the messenger to send it last night Have you read Lavinim’s battle plan?"

Lizaru immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you let our Third Army cross the Tiber River and build a camp on the north bank of the Tiber River to block reinforcements from the Etruscan city-states and Roman colonial cities. At the same time We will also attack the city of Rome from the north..."

"Yes, this is the mission of your Third Army." Daves nodded, pointing his left hand to the upper reaches of the river, and said: "There is a vertebral bridge three or four miles away from here. It is between Rome and The important land arteries in the Etruscan area, the Romans will probably not destroy it. You can use this bridge to attack the city of Rome. If the Shiiqiao has been destroyed by the Romans, It doesn’t matter. The Third Fleet will use their warships to build a passage for you to attack Rome. You have to block the reinforcements of the Romans and attack the city of Rome. The task is very heavy!"

Daves said this, paused for a while, and asked: "I remember the last time you submitted the report that a company blocked Cavutini’s attack by more than 5,000 fighters, and finally assured them. Surrounded and annihilated, the company captain who accomplished this feat is called Taglu?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I hope that your Third Army will have more team officers like Taglu, turn your camp into an iron wall, and completely cut off the reinforcements from the north facing the city of Rome! At the same time, the Third Army will also like A sharp sword gives Rome a fierce attack from the north, strives to break through the enemy's defenses, and opens a gap for the entire army's siege!" Daves encouraged loudly.

For King Daves’ ardent expectation, Lizaru, who was a junior among the legion commanders, was both excited and a little nervous: "Your Majesty, the Third Legion will do its best to complete the combat mission! But... because there are two sides to it. In combat, the strength of troops... is slightly insufficient."

Daves did not respond yet, Amintas said loudly: "Your Majesty, such an important task should be entrusted to our First Army! You don't need to send additional reinforcements to the First Army, we can successfully complete it. Mission!"

"This task should be entrusted to our Second Legion! The First Legion has been fighting repeatedly, and the number of soldiers has been uneven, and our Second Legion is full of soldiers!" Matonis shouted immediately.

Stimulated by the two army commanders, Lizaru immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, our Third Army can definitely complete this task!"

"You both have important tasks for the First Army and Second Army. You don't have to fight anymore." Daves waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the commanders of Armintas and Matonis, and then relieved Lizaru. "Don’t worry, the Third Fleet will cooperate with you. The infantry of their fleet is not weak."

Lizaru was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, when can the Third Fleet arrive?"

"The Tiber River has twists and turns, and it will take some time for the Third Fleet to go upstream, but Hades blessed, today is a downwind, and slaves and laborers are helping to pull the fibers. They should be there soon. At that time, you must hurry up, cross the river by boat, and quickly build a camp on the north bank of Shiiqiao, and you will also assist the Third Fleet to level the river beach so that they can push the warship onto the river beach. Third Fleet The crew station will merge with you." Davers reminded patiently.

"I understand, Your Majesty!" Lizaru suddenly remembered something and asked: "Your Majesty, if we cross the river by boat and discover that the Romans have no defensive vertebral bridge at all, can I directly rate Soldiers kill?"

"If you have such a great opportunity, of course you can't let it go. All our legions will cooperate with you to attack the city immediately, but I don't think the Romans will make such a stupid mistake." Daves smiled.

A group of people smiled and came to the granary camp behind the port.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 90 large barns and ten straw sheds in this camp. The silos are filled with ground wheat flour. There are about… 3000 kilograms in one barn. There are soybeans. We rescued 45 intact barns, four hay sheds, and eight barns that were burned out..."

After listening to Leides’ introduction, Daves praised: “It seems that these flour and forage are all ready to be delivered to the Roman army in Herniki. Leides, Kuchius, you two A cavalry corps arrived in time and won this batch of food, which not only attacked the enemy, but also eased our supply of rations. This is a great achievement!"

Kuchius interjected: "Your Majesty, the reason why we were able to succeed is that we came too fast, which was beyond the expectations of the Romans and made them insufficiently prepared; on the other hand, the Roman barns were so well repaired. It’s very strong, fire-proof and moisture-proof. It takes time to get them to burn. The Romans didn’t repair the walls seriously, and they repaired the barns very seriously, but they helped us!"

Everyone laughed again.

Daves said seriously: "It is precisely because we were fully prepared in advance, and the Romans did not expect that we would suddenly lead an army to directly attack the city of Rome. There were a lot of mistakes, but we also Be cautious and don’t give the Romans some breathing time."

The commanders all smiled and nodded cautiously.

"Olivers!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You led the Fourth Army to camp here to protect the granary and river port. At the same time, you are responsible for tomorrow's attack on the western wall of Rome." Daves pointed to the towering wall in front of him and asked: "Where do you think you are attacking? What’s the point?"

Olivers did not hesitate to point to the long protruding wall in front of the right side, which is exactly what Daves said before the wall is the largest slum in Rome: "Here! Of course! It’s here! It’s so ugly, if I don’t take it down and then destroy it, I won’t be able to sleep soundly afterwards."

Olivers' ridiculous words made everyone laugh again.

Davers nodded and reminded: "According to the plan negotiated last night, the nobles and civilians in Rome have a deep conflict. We must find a way to separate them, divide them, and prevent them from working together to fight us. ."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Olivers answered seriously.

After arranging the matters outside the western wall of Rome, Daves led the legionaries around the Roman wall and rode eastward on horseback. The court guards guarded him, while the cavalry of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps followed closely. In the back, even if the Roman soldiers on each section of the city wall saw a group of senior Dionian generals wearing gorgeous armors and gorgeous crowns and helmets appeared 100 meters below the city, they looked at the city wall and gestured, with more than ten behind them. Facing the military flag, he did not dare to rush out of the city to make a surprise attack.

The group of people walking and watching, quickly reached the eastern end of the Roman wall, and then turned along the wall to the northwest. At this time, Daves said: "Amintas, you are here with the First Legion. Set up camp."

"Finally it's our turn to the First Corps. I thought your Majesty you forgot about us." Amintas pretended to complain loudly.

"Of course I won't forget." Daves said with a serious expression: "As the first legion of our Dionian regiment, your mission is naturally the most difficult. From here to Tiber. The city wall by the river is the attack area of ​​your First Army. You must exert enough offensive pressure on the Romans!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will not only let the Romans know how powerful our First Army is, but also attack the city of Rome from here!" Amintas said confidently.

"In addition, the wall section here is very long, but the offensive force is the least in all directions. After the city is broken, the Romans are likely to escape from here. You must make sure to try to stop them all!" Dave Si solemnly said.

Amintas was taken aback, and then replied: "This...Of course there is no problem!"

"Also, you should note that the location of the camp of the First Legion is the farthest from the main force of the other legions. Not far to the east from here, there are several Roman colonial cities, so the First Legion is likely to become Rome. The target of reinforcements to attack." Daves reminded solemnly.

Amintas's expression also became solemn, and he nodded.

"The Mountain Range Reconnaissance Brigade will be stationed with the First Army, but they have important tasks to perform and will not attack the city with you."

After listening to Daves' words, Amintas looked at Izam, and Izam smiled at him.

"Izam!"

"Yes!" The middle-aged Dukya is no longer as free as he was when he was young, he respectfully responded.

"In order to prevent being seen by the Roman soldiers and suspicion, you should not go to the Tiber River to survey the terrain during the day. The rainy season in Rome is from December to February, which has already ended, and although Rome did not suffer from a drought last year, According to intelligence, the number of rains is less than in previous years. We have seen it in the downstream. The water flow is gentle and the water level on the shore has dropped. Therefore, your chances of success are great."
