"Black soldier! So the Dionian legion is killed, I don’t know which legion it is!" Xenofinnis thought in his heart, with excitement flashing in his eyes, he turned and ran towards Zhennan, where It is a gathering area of ​​free people and public officials.

The people who fled from Meyaro rushed into the town in horror, causing the already narrow access to the town to be blocked, making the suspension bridge unable to be lifted and the town gate unable to be closed.

When the Siculians were anxiously driving the people into the city, the company led by Leotizides had already rushed to the outside of the town. Seeing this, without waiting for the whole team, they immediately ordered: Attack!

The soldiers rushed to the north gate and shot spears at the people blocking the town.

The screams continued to sound, and the people who were about to enter the town were even more frightened. Some simply jumped into the moat, and some desperately squeezed into the town. The citizen soldiers at the town gate could not stop it.

When Melisanda’s team arrived, they saw the Leotizides’ company on the suspension bridge of the north gate of Meyaro town’s chase, making the front of the town extremely **** and chaotic. Melisanda Xin Read a word: If his squad goes up, he can only follow the "lunatic" company. Maybe he can't even touch the enemy and rushes into the city.

Melisanda is unwilling. At this time, he saw some Meyaluo people fleeing to the other side around the moat, and he immediately shouted: "Follow me to attack another town gate!"

The soldiers chased the fleeing people to the east gate of Meyaluo, only to find that the suspension bridge had been pulled up.

Melisanda's heart was cold for a while.

"Captain, what should I do?!" the soldiers asked urgently.

Melisanda was also very anxious in his heart. Looking back, there were other teams running towards this side, but they didn't find the engineering battalion carrying the ladder and the wooden planks. Obviously they must have fallen behind.

Are you going to wait here? ! Melisanda looked at the wooden wall ahead. There were only 20 or 30 enemies sparse, and only a few people shot arrows at them who had entered the range. There was no threat to them in armor, but It is unpredictable whether he will be thrown by a javelin after approaching the wooden wall.

"Tortoise shell formation!" He made a decisive decision: "Approach the moat and swim over!"

He saw that there were not many enemies on the wooden wall, and it was only more than three meters high by visual inspection, so he could completely climb up on a human wall.

Fifty soldiers received the order and immediately encircled Melisanda to form a small square formation. The tops of their heads were covered with long shields, like a huge box wrapped in iron, slowly marching towards the moat. .

The other teams did the same. Some teams were far away from the town gate, and even the tortoise formation was not lined up. They ran towards the moat quickly.

The people of Siculi who could not enter the town fled in panic, and the soldiers had no mind at all.

At this moment, there was a sudden scream of slaughter and screams behind the city gate, mixed with horrified shouts: "Free people and slaves are rebelling!!..."

Soon, the Siculians on the wooden wall stopped staring at the Dionian soldiers in front of the moat. Instead, they turned to resist the mob rushing up on the wooden ladder.

Bows and arrows were constantly shot on the wooden wall, causing the Siculians who lacked protection to fall with arrows.

Melisanda under the city didn’t know what happened in the town, but how could he not take advantage of such a good opportunity. He immediately asked the soldiers to disperse the tortoise shell formation, hurried to the moat, dropped the long shield and The stabbing guns, only equipped with daggers, jumped down the moat one after another.

Although the armor makes the body heavy, but in the usual military training, there are occasional special training in this area. The width of the moat is three or four meters. You kicked your legs and stroked your arms twice, and you reached the opposite bank.

Melisanda and the soldiers clambered ashore and were about to lean against the wooden wall, but the suspension bridge was lowered, and then the wooden door was opened, and someone shouted from the city head: "I am Dionia Citizen Xenofinis, the Siculians have been beaten away by us! Soldiers of the Legion, hurry into the city!"

Meilishanda was stunned when he heard this, and the laughter of the soldiers of the other units rang in his ears: "Captain Meilishanda dived again!"

The men beside you are also complaining about the captain: "Are you cursed by the goddess of doom, even we are unlucky with you!"

Meilishanda watched the other teams easily walk across the suspension bridge and walked into Meyaluo Town, annoyed: "Everyone will swim back with me!"

"Ah, are you going into the water again?!"

"The long shield and the stabbing gun are on the other side, won't you take them back!"

………………………………

In the afternoon, the First Army of Dionia completely occupied the town of Meyaro at the cost of minor casualties.

Meyaluo Town is said to be a town, but the area of ​​its town has surpassed that of Sikuli, and it is worthy of its name, but the town does not have such power institutions as councils, senators, and city halls. , It has only one governing official residence, and the usual administrative management and the formulation of laws and regulations are all decided here.

Sicully was originally a democratic city-state. After it surrendered to Syracuse, Dionysius helped to support the first Siculian noble Hibagris to surrender to him. The plenipotentiary general, the people of Siculi were frightened by Dionysius' **** and had to succumb. As a result, Siculi became a tyrant city-state. Hibagris appointed his confidant as the Archon of Meyaluo, instead of him to directly govern Meyaluo, thus completely controlling the former Naxos territory under the rule of the Sikuli tyrant.

But now sitting high on the first seat of the administrative hall of Meyaluo's consul's residence is no longer Hibagris's subordinates, but Antonius, the commander of the First Army of Dionia.

"Leader, the Siculians in the town were all arrested by us. There are 3,653 people in total. Among them, most of them are the elderly, women and children. What do you think?" First Captain Ji Augris said unbearably. This time the attack was supposed to be the fourth team’s first victory in breaking the city, because Leotizides’s company belonged to the fourth team. Instead, several teams headed by Melisanda, under the first brigade, entered the town first from the east gate and won the first victory, which also gave Geogris the right to deal with the prisoners in the town.

"Master Antonios, do not be too kind to the Siculians! They were once allies of Naxos. Instead of fighting with us, they betrayed the covenant, took refuge in Syracuse, and assisted the evil Di Onisius broke through our city and occupied our land. Every year, he sent troops to the western mountains of Etna to search for our escaped tribesmen. Both men and women were taken back as slaves... Now the Nemesis finally responded to us. The Xos people prayed devoutly and sent you these warriors of Dionia to bring anger on the Siculians, and they must all become slaves and tortured to death!..." Standing beside Laodixian, As one of the organizers in response to Dionia's offensive and rioting in the town, Tolilaus, a Naxos native, shouted gritted his teeth.

Giogris frowned, looked at Antonios, opened his mouth to speak, Antonios winked at him, and then said with deep sympathy: "Naxos is our Dionian ally , The suffering you have suffered is like the suffering of our Dionian people...Tro Tiras!"

"Yes!" Third Captain Trotiras responded loudly.

"You go now to take the Siculians to the square, and let the people of Naxos identify their crimes and punish them according to their requirements!" This method of Antonios is obviously a reference What Daves did to Crotone prisoners in Turei.

"Yes!" Trotiras turned and left.

"Master Antonios, I will organize the people to go to the square!" Tolilaus said with joy.

Antonius nodded, and Geogris wanted to say more. The second captain Zantiparis next to him patted his leg with his hand to signal him to calm down.

Antonius’ gaze came over, and said seriously: “The adequacy of food is related to the important foundation for our army and the people of Naxos to gain a foothold here! So, Geogris, I send You go to check the food reserves in this town, and collect all the food in the Siculi homes, and we will distribute them in a centralized manner, understand?!"

"Yes, commander of the legion." Geogris understood that Antonios was a little dissatisfied with his performance just now, so he removed him from the task of watching prisoners and assigned him a new task to do. He obeyed the military law and expressed his obedience.

Antonius watched Gioglis leave, and he was a little relieved. If Amintas saw his subordinates resisting the order several times, he would have cursed him a long time ago, but he would not. What's more, as a member of the "Hilos Team", Gioglis is not as close as Hilos, Matonis, Olivers, Martius, and Daves, but the relationship is not bad. Why is it because of this? To scold Geogris for trivial matters, and affect his perception in Davers's heart. Although Geogris is not a talkative person, there is a dangerous person here...

Antonios quickly swept towards Xenofinnis, who was standing quietly in an inconspicuous corner, and then quickly retracted his mind, and continued to ask: "General Saratus has taken the troops to take over the port, right? (Saratus is the leader of the Lijim troops sent by Lijim to fight with the First Army)?"

"Yes, my lord." Raodixian of Naxos replied: "General Saratos also brought more than 300 mature slaves over, so that Jim’s ship can be smoothly docked and landed. The food and materials were unloaded smoothly."

"The port can function normally, I feel more relieved." Antonios said, and sighed: "Unfortunately, there are no military facilities in the port and no warships can be moored. Our fleet has to go back to Lijim to rest."
