Originally, he was only planning to spot the opportunity between Amendorara and Turri, and rob him on a large scale. But the spy reported back: The residents of Amendorara are carrying a lot of luggage and are preparing to leave the city.
How did the Wisba and the tribe let go of this good opportunity, and immediately caught up with them, killed them, and took the opportunity to occupy the city of Amendorara. For Weisba, this is really the blessing of Mount Asinu! The tribe won easily. Not only did it seize a lot of materials, but also occupied a city. It was also a mountain town that the Lucanians liked to live in, and it also owned a large number of "slaves."
But soon he realized that it was quite difficult for him to occupy a city with his tribe with only a thousand warriors: first he scored hundreds of warriors to take care of the thousands of prisoners, and then he had to guard against them. The Turyi regained the city of Amendorara, and the most troublesome was Grumentum. After all, the Vespa tribe was unwilling to accept the annexation of Grumentum, and now it takes advantage of the Lukanian tribal alliance to fight **** battle and victory in front of Turri, and it takes no effort to obtain what should belong to The result of Grumentum’s battle, how can Grumentum’s great leader Akpiru, who must be reported to him, spare them! Let Weisba give up Amendorara and escape back to the mountains again. How can he and his tribe, who have tasted enough of the bumps and drifts, be willing to find the comfort that they have finally obtained.
Just as he was hesitating, a few days later, a good news came: the Lukanian Allied Forces, preparing to besiege Turriy City, broke out with a plague and were forced to withdraw their troops.
Weesba was overjoyed and even claimed to sing the **** Asinu.
In the following months, Turri did not send troops to recapture the city of Amendorara due to a severe loss of strength. It is rare for Weisba to lead his tribe to live a stable life for a period of time.
In the spring of this year, the messenger of Grumentum, over the mountain, came to the city of Amendola, and brought Akpiru’s order: he was strongly asked to join the Lucania coalition and prepare for the second Turiyi was attacked for the second time.
Wesba promised, but he sneered in his heart, because the messenger hadn't mentioned the question of the belonging of Amendorara after the war.
He wants to understand now. If you want to keep the city of Amendorara, you can only hope that the Allied forces of Lucania and Turiyi will lose both, so that his tribe will have a chance to survive in the cracks and have time. Slowly use and integrate the power of Amendorara to restore the vitality of the tribe. Therefore, when he knew that mercenaries were constantly coming in the Turriy Territory, he was not worried, but happy.
He restrained the tribe, did not go out of the city as much as possible, not to stimulate Turii, but let the Greeks prepare for war with peace of mind.
Today, the spies reported that: A Greek army of about a hundred men invaded the territory of Amendola.
He was a little surprised: This is the first time since the war last year that a Greek army has appeared in Amendorara. Did they come to attack the city? Why are there only a hundred people? Is it a pioneer? Ignoring the threat of the Lukanian coalition forces' pressure on the territory, Turri wants to solve their worries first? After his careful observation over the past few months, this doesn't seem to be what the Turyi people do? !
With many questions, Vesbah stepped onto the city wall and looked down the hill: more than a hundred Greek soldiers stood alone by the Sisno River. They did not move for a long time, and there was no movement behind them. .
I'm here to investigate the situation! Weisba was a little sure.
So he decided to show his strength to dispel the Greeks' illusions. He asked his son Baggul to lead a thousand soldiers out of the city, leaving only more than a hundred soldiers to guard the prisoners in the city.
Bagul led the Lucanian fighters to rush out of the city gate aggressively.
Asistus couldn't help yelling: "Leader, look at their weapons!"
Armor, buckler, and stabbing spear are all dressed up as Greek heavy infantry soldiers. No wonder Asisters was surprised and thought that Amendorara had been taken back by a Greek army!
Daves took a closer look and smiled: "It should be the Lucanians who snatched the weapons of the citizens of Amendorara and equipped themselves. Unfortunately, they are just like images, not far from a real heavy infantry. Far."
Indeed, the formation of the Greek heavy infantry is close. Before the battle, they moved slowly and basically kept a straight line. Looking at the Lukaria fighters on the opposite side, the formation is not only loose, but also uneven.
The guide saw that the Lucania soldier was out of the city, and his heart was extremely nervous. Seeing that Davers was still in a mood to laugh, he almost cursed.
At this time, Daves said: "Retreat, go back!"
If the guide receives an amnesty, he pulls his horse and runs away.
The soldiers turned back in unison, and then started jogging.
Daves stayed still, until the soldiers left him behind, he walked with Asistes and Leders, which made the guide a little embarrassed.
The Greeks retreated slowly, and the Lucanians slowly pursued them, keeping a certain distance between the two sides.
Until Daves and the others crossed the Saraceno River, Lucania stopped on the north bank.
"A thousand...A thousand people..." Daves asked thoughtfully: "Yasi, do you think the Lucanians in Amendorara want to fight us or do not? "
"Of course I don't want to. You can tell from their pursuit posture." Assistus said without hesitation.
"I heard Burkos say that there are not too many Lucanias in Amendorallari, how many are there?" Daves asked the guide.
"There is such a saying in Turiyi, but no one seems to know how many Lucanians are in Amendorara." The guide was a little confused.
Davers smiled mysteriously and turned the subject: "What is north of Amendorara?"
Back on the land of Turei, the guide became more calm: "Twenty miles to the north is the Sinni River, further north is the Agri River, and on the opposite bank is the city of Heraclea. It is the Serris Plain and a fertile piece of land. Decades ago, Turiyi and Tarantum fought for that piece of land and there was a war."
"Who won?" Asistes asked curiously.
"We Turiyi won twice, but Tarantum is a powerful city-state in Great Greece. They kept sending troops and the war lasted for a long time. Finally, the two sides signed an agreement to jointly establish the city of Heraclea. "The guide said proudly.
"Oh, I didn't expect Turey to be pretty good before." Asistes said smoothly.
"That's because Turíy had General Criandridas at the time, he was a Spartan!" The guide said respectfully, and then he thought of something, and he was unwilling to curl his lips: "Even the last picture. Riyi was defeated by the Lukanians because they used a trick to ambush Turri. If they fought head-on, they would not be Turri’s opponent at all.
Assistus wanted to argue, but Daves stopped: ""While it's still early, let's go to the south of Turriy. "
The guide didn't understand why the young mercenary leader worked so hard all day long. To the west and north, it is understandable that there are Lukanians, but there are no enemies to the south. However, this also made him feel relieved that these mercenaries were too courageous, making him fearful of accidents.
Daves and his party crossed the pontoon bridge not far west of Turiyi city and reached the delta between the two rivers. Here, they saw one after another pack truck walking back and forth on a road leading to the west...
The guide told them: This is to transport copper ore and stone to Turiyi city. Recently, due to the war, the city is in urgent need of stone and copperware.
"Is there the copper and quarry of Turriy to the west?" Daves blinked as he looked at the uneven dirt road through the hilly terrain.
"Yes. The Koseni River is blocked, and the Lucanians can't get through." The talkative guide didn't want to say more at this moment, and hurriedly ended the conversation and brought them to Krati soon. On the river pontoon.
The Kraty River is at least fifty meters long, and because it is spring, the current is relatively rapid, and the pontoon bridge swings back and forth. Daves and the others were worried that the horse would fall into the water and they had to lead the horse on foot.
After crossing the Kraty River, the land on which I set foot is still part of the Subari Plain. This is a green and flat corridor between the mountains and the coast, and this corridor is obviously much wider than the seaside corridor in Amendorara. Here, you can see more Turiyi people working in the farmland. Obviously for Turiyi, this is now the only safe area.
Going further south for about ten miles, the corridor narrowed abruptly. This was because a large area of tidal flat appeared on the side of the sea.
The guide stopped his horse here and said: "The territory of Castellon is ahead, do you still want to see it?"
Note: Castiglione
Heraclea Heraclea, the original site of this city was founded by Greek colonists before Heraclea, the city of Sires (Siris, similar to the name of the Han Dynasty in the Roman Empire), probably around 550 BC Destroyed by Sybaris and Metapontum.
