Only hearing a few "boom booms", Antonios felt a few rubbles jump on his lap, causing a dull pain, and he cried out with concern: "Everyone is okay?!"

Just as the guards reported that they were safe, the light infantry who was also responsible for remotely attacking the enemy on the roof exclaimed: "Captain! Captain! You wake up!..."

Captain? ! Antonios was surprised.

Spit, who was commanding the light infantry to avoid, was hit on the head by a large stone splashed on the wall by a stone bomb, and immediately fell to the ground.

As fellow comrades of the Persian Expeditionary Army and colleague of the Senate, Antonios and Zpitt usually have a good relationship. At this moment, seeing him unconscious, worried and angry in his heart. While calling the guards to call the medical camp, Decisively ordered: "Blow the offensive horn, don't let the enemy run away!"

"Woo!..." At the same time as the sound of the Dionian bugle, the trumpet of the retreat of the Syracuse coalition also sounded.

It is not that Mathias does not want to lead the troops to retreat more safely and securely, but that the situation has lost control. Some Syracuse soldiers saw that the situation was not good and had already started to flee with the Allied troops. The entire army was surrounded by fragments. If no decisive action is taken, it is very likely that the enemy will stay in place and persist. The troops were surrounded, so he issued an order to retreat, preferring to let the soldiers flee like scattered sand, rather than being captured by the entire enemy team.

The retreating trumpet awakened Antonios in grief. He said loudly to the light infantry in grief: "Brothers, don’t patronize your grief. It’s time to avenge Master Spitt! Catch up with those who are running away, Kill them!"

The light infantry roared, and immediately ran downstairs to meet their companions in the legion, and quickly participated in the pursuit. These light infantry can be regarded as relatively better physical people in the First Army. Coupled with not wearing heavy helmets and heavy armor, their pursuit speed will cause a lot of trouble to the rout enemy. Antonius believes this.

Because the Syracuse Allied Forces surrounded the First Corps with a circular array, and when they were retreating, because the First Corps soldiers in the inner circle attacked from all sides, they were unable to retreat in the same direction and were Forced to flee everywhere.

Many Syracuse soldiers, in order to quickly escape Meyaro and avoid encountering the traps set by the Dionians in the town before, they chose to flee south and were bombarded by a crossbow yesterday. All day long in that area, everything went smoothly, until they stepped over the almost non-existent wooden wall and jumped into the river. They were buried in the mud at the bottom of the river by the First Legion, and they had no functioning sharp stakes. He Tie pierced their feet, and fell into the river one by one amidst the screams, drowning. This discouraged those in the back who were either killed or surrendered under the spear and dagger wielded by the Dionian soldiers who were pursuing them.

There are still a small number of soldiers who choose to flee north. They are mainly mercenaries from Taurromignan. Under the enemy’s pursuit, they rushed all the way. They were about to reach the mountains and the city of Taurromignan was no longer there. When they were far away, they found that nearly a thousand sailors were holding wooden paddles and bows and arrows blocking their way.

It turns out that the Dionian fleet did not leave the port after loading the families of the exiles, but was watching the battle closely. When the enemy began to retreat, the eager Dionian Fleet took advantage of the sandy beaches everywhere in Naxos Bay, and used the straight-line distance at sea to quickly row the warship to land near the mountain pass and grab the enemy’s. In front, the net is waiting.

The exhausted mercenaries often surrendered when there were enemies in front of them and chasing soldiers in the back.

Most of the Syracuse soldiers followed the Allied forces and fled westward out of the town of Meyaro, and fled southward in the Wading River.

Marcias rode early to the south bank of the Alcantara River, preparing to gradually gather the ruined soldiers here, and then lead the army to make further plans. Unexpectedly, after the victory, the Dionians would continue to pursue the Syracuse allied soldiers.

The rout soldiers rushed across the Alcantara River like a tide, and they didn't listen to Macias's yelling at all. Instead, they scattered him and hundreds of cavalrymen and fled south together with them.

The soldiers of the Dionian Legion, who are good at chasing the enemy after victory, and often carrying out armed long-distance running in training, have caused the Syracuse people to suffer. They are also soldiers who are exhausted after a fierce battle. The Dionians from time to time catch up with the ruined soldiers that fall behind, and the screams are always driving the Syracuse allied soldiers like whips, doing their best to stop. Run...

After five or six miles, most of the Dionian soldiers stopped chasing and began to look back to capture the enemies who squatted on the side of the road and raised their hands to surrender. Only the light infantry were still chasing in anger.

Hibagris also wanted to lead his army back to Sikuli. As a result, his civilian soldiers were dispersed by a rout. He rushed to Sikuli and saw that the four gates were closed and the rebels took control. Wherever he dared to stay with arrows, he had to follow the Syracuse soldiers to bypass Sikuli and continue to flee south.

The Dionian light infantry finally stopped pursuing before reaching the city of Sikuli. After they showed their identity to the rebels at the head of the city, they were welcomed into the city with joy by the rebels of Sikuli.

Mathias gathered some of the rout soldiers on the way to Katane.

While he was thinking painfully about where to go next, the tyrants of Katane and Sikuli both found him and asked him to help regain the city.

At this moment, he encountered a messenger from Syracuse who had rushed to find him. Only then did he know that there was also a riot in Syracuse, and he was anxiously waiting for him to lead his army back to rescue him.

Mathias was taken aback, no matter where he could take care of other things, anxiously, he personally led the troops to gather the defeated soldiers, and wanted to return to the division for rescue.

……………………………………

When Dionysius led his army to attack the Dionian camp, a small clipper sailed outside the port of Silitin. Facing the blockade of the Dionian fleet, it was not afraid at all, but followed The Dionian battleship played a game of peek-a-boo. The agile and small clippers shuttled between the gaps of many warships, and finally let it break into the port easily.

At this time, Dionysius, who broke into the deserted left camp but was blocked by wooden walls and trenches outside the Dionian army camp, finally made the decision to retreat.

However, this order is a bit late.

Daves had already placed the first, fifth, and sixth armies back in the camp in a circular encircling position behind the wooden wall, deliberately allowing Syracuse soldiers to break through the wooden wall and rush into the camp. Start a face-to-face fight with it.

How can the Syracuse soldiers and freedmen who have been fighting for so long, have worn out more than half their physical strength, and lack armor protection, are the opponents of the fully armed and ready-to-work infantry of the Dionian Legion, plus there are still The soldiers of the Fourth and Seventh Legions who fought on the remaining wooden walls, and the Syracuses who attacked the Chinese army camp were quickly defeated, scrambling to rout to Siriting. If it were not for the threat of the army led by Dionysius next to him, Daves, for the sake of safety, would not allow the army to chase down to the city of Siriting.

When Dionysius learned of the defeat of the frontal camp, he dared to stay longer, and hurriedly led his troops back to the city. In order to vent his anger, he burned the left camp of Dionia with fire.

Back in the city, before Dionysius could catch his breath, Leptinius looked for him in a panic.

After listening to the whispered report from his younger brother, Dionysius was shocked: He never expected that Daves sent troops while besieging Sirition and dividing forces to attack the Lokri allies in Syracuse. Landing in Sicily!

Although, according to Leptinius, there were only a few thousand troops who landed in Sicily, Dionysius was not as calm and composed as Philistos, after another defeat by Daves. He was wary of the young Dionian consul. He even highly doubted that Daves was willing to negotiate with him before, not just to cover up his division of troops to attack Hibernian and Medema, I’m afraid It was even more to hold him back and complete the landing of troops in Sicily. This is probably Davers's real killer move!

As the tyrant of Syracuse and the overlord of the Greek city-states of Sicily, Dionysius actually knew how the people of the city-states felt about him. Thinking of this, he was anxious, but he tried to pretend to be safe. As things happened, bid farewell to everyone and return to his temporary residence.

When Fascipesus rectified the rout and came to report to Dionysius the loss of the battle, what he saw was a haggard general.

Dionysius absently listened to the report of Fascipesus and was indifferent to the huge number of Syracuse’s army that killed more than 2,000 people and wounded nearly 6,000. Instead, he spoke quickly: " Siracusa just sent a messenger to tell me that more than 3,000 Dionian soldiers landed in the Gulf of Naxos and quietly captured Mearo..."

In order to reduce the impact and avoid causing too much panic, Dionysius deliberately reduced the number of Dionysian troops that landed, but still frightened Fasipesus and even forgot to deal with Dionysian. Husse’s respectful appellation: "What?! The Dionians actually attacked Sicily?! When did this happen?!"

Dionysius glanced at him and smiled pretendingly: "It happened two days ago. The Dionians wanted to cause us some trouble, but they were too few in number, Marcias. A troop of 10,000 people went north, and there were support from the city-states of Taunis, Leottini, and Katane along the way. I believe that all the Dionians who landed have been wiped out!"
