"General Sekrian really wants to do this!" Flarios responded immediately.

"The soldiers took a full day's rest yesterday, and today they stayed on the ship again. They are still full of energy and energy. But look now--" Shiros pointed to the crowded troop carriers waiting on the dock, a little anxious. Said: "More than 6000 soldiers will come ashore. I don’t know when to wait! And I have been the chief executive of Cosenza. I know how big the city of Knapetia is, just to help resettle the refugees in Trina. I am afraid that the city of Knapetia is already full of people."

"Don't worry about accommodation, I will try my best to arrange it! I really can't live, but I can camp out of the city." Assistus said confidently.

"I know that there are mountains outside of Knapetia. Camping here. I might as well camp on the plain in front. The soldiers will sleep better." Silos remained unmoved and continued. "And you have been monitoring Trina's movements. I am afraid that Trina’s enemies are also watching here. Our fleet stays outside the port for so long, the enemy will not know! They know our arrival? , Even if Hibernian is attacked, they will strengthen their defense against Trina! Instead of this, I might as well lead an army to attack Trina and attract Hibernian defenders to rescue. Leading the Lijim to attack and defend the empty Hibernian, the possibility of success is greater!"

After saying this, the others were a little moved. In fact, Asistes and Flarios both understood that Sekelian had appointed the plan. In fact, he had some selfish intentions and wanted Dionian’s The army gets more records, but Silos doesn't care about the merits at the moment, and thinks more about how to benefit the whole battle.

"Actually, neither attacking Trina nor Hibernian is the most important thing! The most important thing is—" Silos looked at Asistes and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty The army is now confronting the army of Syracuse in Crotone. The sooner we attack the enemy’s rear, the sooner we can fall into the passive position of the enemy, and allow your Majesty to gain the initiative to better defeat the main force of Syracuse. , To win this war! I have been delayed for a lot of time in Laos, now we must act as soon as possible!"

Asistus was deeply moved by the words from the heart of Hiros, and immediately stated: "I understand, Hilo is a lord! I will not prevent you from landing in Ophimia. I will organize manpower for the troops. Convey the grain, grass and gossip, and immediately assemble a thousand soldiers, set off by land, and head to Ophemia to meet you!"

"Sir Hiros, I'm going to recruit Trina citizens now, they have long been looking forward to this day!" Bromaras said excitedly.

"Master Shiros, my ship will set off with you. I want to let General Sekelian get the news as soon as possible!" Flarios also said immediately.

"Okay, let's meet in Trina!" Silos made a solemn military salute.

"Well, I originally prepared a banquet tonight. I wanted to invite you to my house and meet my wife and children by the way. It seems that there is no chance this time!" Asistes sighed , Ordered a few words to a port official beside him, the man hurriedly ran to the dock, commanded the ships, and cleared the channel so that the troop carrier could leave the port smoothly.

"Sir Hiros, may Hades bless you with everything going smoothly!" After sending out his sincere blessings, Asistes asked again: "His Master Hernipolis, would you like to come to my house? Guest, by the way, I can talk to you about how to be your majesty’s clerk?"

Henipolis was a little moved, he turned his head to look at Shiros.

Silos suggested: "You should stay in Knapetia, and it will not be too late to rush to meet him after your majesty leads the army into the Ophimia Plain."

Henipolis hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Master Asistes, thank you for your invitation! I came with Master Hiros, so let's go with him."

…………………………………

I was attacked by the Syracuse with rockets for most of the day yesterday. Lycias and others led the citizens to stay busy until the evening, tired and thirsty, and fell directly on the square outside the temple, sleeping until dawn.

The rocket attack in Syracuse, which worries them the most, did not come again, and looking down from the Acropolis, there was no shadow of an enemy. Lucias, Miron and others were surprised after discussion. After that, it was decided to send out personnel to investigate.

Actually, yesterday, the envoys sent by the Acropolis to the Dionian camp for help were able to return safely every time. They were well aware of the Syracuse’s attempts, but this was only slightly weakened. The high-level Crotone of Sias resented Dionia for not lending a helping hand.

The spies quickly returned to the Acropolis in return: Not only were the enemies invisible in the city, but the Siracusa camp outside the city also disappeared!

Lysias looked at Miron in surprise and surprise, and said in disbelief: "Did the Syracuse retreat?!"

"It is very possible." Milon said thoughtfully: "If Syracuse's army were to attack the Dionia camp on the north bank of the Neto River, their own camp would not be demolished."

"So we can leave the Acropolis!" Hisprotis said excitedly, licking his dry lips.

His words received enthusiastic responses from other people. He hadn't drunk water for most of the day, and everyone's throat was smoking.

Lysias couldn't make up his mind at this moment, he hesitated and asked: "Milon, what do you think?"

"As far as I know, Dionysius is a very cunning man. He may deliberately lure us out of the city, and let his thousands of cavalry return quickly. Half of us are women, children and old people. Once we get off the acropolis , It's hard to escape their chase!" Miron said worriedly.

"Are we going to stay in the acropolis to death because we are worried that it is the trick of the Syracuse people?!" Citi Proteas asked loudly.

"Of course not." Miron said sternly: "We can send people to continue to investigate the movements of the Syracuse people, and at the same time send envoys to request protection from the Dionians on the north bank of the Neto River. You can ask them to send a fleet to transport water to the port, and take advantage of the fact that there are no enemies in the city, and then transport the water to the acropolis..."

"Good idea, just do it!" Lucias immediately agreed, and the others agreed.

At this moment, the messenger sent by Daves rushed to the Acropolis.

The news that "Dionia's army has crossed the river" excites Crotone's senior management, but Daves' speculation about "may have a battle with the Syracuse" makes them nervous again.

"Although I was a bit dissatisfied with the'indifference' of the Dionians before, they really crossed the river, and I don't want them to come..." Lycias said solemnly.

"Yes." Miron felt the same way. He said in a contradictory mood: "According to the emissary's account, the number of the Dionian army is about 55,000, and according to the Siracusa army I learned earlier They probably have no less than 70,000 soldiers, a difference of more than 10,000 people! If Dionia and Syracuse are going to fight here today, we must give full assistance to Dionia! Otherwise... …"

"This is a must! If Dionia loses, we will all become slaves to the tyrant of Sicily!" Cipros did not know when he arrived at Crotone's high-level meeting room and said loudly. : "We Trina decided to rush to meet Dionian's army immediately!"

The members of Crotone looked at each other and talked a lot.

Finally, Lucias said loudly: "We Crotone will also send General Millon to lead most of Crotone citizen soldiers to join Dionia's army!"

Milon squeezed a smile: "I just took the citizen soldiers to ask for a glass of water!"

He wanted to relax the condensed meeting place, but everyone looked tense and no one laughed.

………………………………………

As Crotone summoned more than 4,000 soldiers, and Cipros led Trina with nearly 900 people preparing to descend the mountain, Dionian’s army had reached the front of the former camp in Syracuse.

Dionysius relied on his strong military strength. In addition to building a tighter defense facility on the side facing Asprostum, on the side located in the core area of ​​Crotone There were only earth barriers and wooden fences in the camp, and even trenches were not dug. He even hoped that the Crotones would attack the camp, which happened to be severely damaged. Therefore, when retreating, the earth wall can be knocked down easily, which does not greatly hinder the advance of the Dionian army.

At this moment, Daves received the scout's return: the Syracuse army stopped retreating, and quickly turned around, approaching them, and the enemy's cavalry began to attack, driving away the Dionia's cavalry. .

Dionysius really came! Due to the speculation and preparation in this regard, Daves did not feel too surprised. The more he thought about it, he issued an order: "The whole army retreat slowly, and at the same time, beware of enemy cavalry attacks! Inform Leides, Don't fight hard with the enemy's cavalry, withdraw first!"

Despite his doubts, Tolmeide rushed to issue a military order.

Because the Dionian army did not adopt the usual column marching method after crossing the river, but lined up and marched south together with a large and wide front. The troops of more than 50,000 troops were from west to east. It stretched for seven or eight miles. In order to ensure the rapid transmission of the military order, Daves and Tolmeide discussed a way, that is, to have two messengers at the rear of the entire team for every one kilometer to ensure Dave The speed and convenience of sending commands back and forth between Siberian and the various legions.

The Seventh Army is located at the far right end of the main unit, adjacent to the Tacinadi River. Legion Commander Matonis heard what the messenger said and said that he couldn't understand: "Why retreat?! The enemy is chasing, and the retreat will only lead to a decline in morale and a chaotic formation! We should go up and fight the enemy!... "
