Zantiparis's words of heart and soul greatly touched the generals of the Campania League. Like Aialos, he immediately thought of the plight of Naples: too many people fleeing in the city, lack of food, and difficult order The most fearful thing is to worry about the occurrence of epidemics.
And generals like Herculaneum and Ritrum are eager to lead the people back to their homes, but their towns are broken, and once the Samonais attacked again, they would have no way to defend... Could it be Have to continue to hide in Naples in the future? Not only is it unbearable for the people, but the citizen soldiers under them might also oppose it.
Zantiparis saw the generals of the Campania League frowning, so he said: "Our soldiers are indeed a little tired after a hard fight, but they have time to rest at any rate, but the Samonais came from afar. Isn’t it tired?! From Beneventom to here, they spent a day and rushed there. I’m afraid they didn’t have much rest on the road. They would only be more tired than our soldiers. They can still fight as before. Is it running like wind at all times?!
Furthermore, our soldiers have just taken the city of Lola and their confidence has been boosted. The Samonais worry about Lola and are anxious, so they are not as good as our soldiers in fighting spirit; not to mention, even Samoni There are 10,000 people’s reinforcements, and our number of soldiers is still more than them. Don’t forget that their team also includes more than 2,000 soldiers from Naconia. The spies of Abenirum have said before. , They have sent someone to quietly contact the leader of the Naconian army, so these 2000 Donakonia fighters are not an alliance of Samona’s reinforcements, but a help to us at a critical time! "
Zantiparis said this, and his emotions became high: "Everyone, we have so many advantages. It is precisely that we should seize this favorable opportunity in time, take the initiative to meet the incoming enemies, defeat them, and completely Drive them out of the Campania Plain, so that the people of your Campania Alliance will find peace and tranquility!"
Zantiparis's remarks made most of the generals excited and suspicious.
But some people also raised objections: "Can you believe the words of the Abenirum?!" The Samonais fought with the Campanians for decades, and both sides regarded them as mortal enemies. How could it be easy? Believe.
Zantiparis hasn’t answered yet, Aaloth said first: “The Abeni Rum assisted General Alexis in defeating Samona’s army in the mountains, and they are still besing Beneventum. , Why not trustworthy! Abeni Rum is an alliance of Dionia, and of course our friend! And the Naconians are the same, don’t forget, we can capture Lola City, and they have theirs Credit!"
Actually, the Naconian people in Lola have not had conflicts with the Campanians, but Enona officials try to isolate their work and reduce contact, such as: trimming tree trunks and digging soil. All the work is given to the people of Naconia, and they are not allowed to participate in the construction of the dirt mountain, and they are allowed to rest in the territory of Naconia further south at night. Of course, there is another reason for this to prevent the Lola defenders from seeing Naconi. The Aren had close contacts with Dionia, so as not to bring disadvantages to the Enona fighters who were still in the Allied forces of Samona.
The general stopped speaking.
Aeros looked at Zanteparis and asked solemnly: "If you lead the army to meet the reinforcements of Samona, as you said, can we win?"
Zantiparis also solemnly answered: "As long as we fight with all our strength, we can win!"
Aalos’s previous concern is that once the coalition forces are defeated, the slow-moving heavy infantry of Campania will find it difficult to escape the pursuit of the Samonais, and the situation in the Campania Alliance will become worse. It was worse before.
However, the Dionian army fought on the Campania plain twice, and he personally participated in assisting, and was impressed by Dionian’s powerful military capabilities, so Zanteparis’s this must have given He was confident, so he faced the generals of the Campalia League and said loudly: "Everyone, with the full help of the Dionian Allies, we will be able to defeat the Samonaites! Don’t hesitate anymore, go right away. Gather the soldiers, go out of the city to meet the enemy, and drive them out of the Campania Plain!"
No one objected this time.
………………………………………
When the Allied forces of Dionia lined up outside Lola city early in the morning, Lola’s defenders felt bad. They let a small team sneak out of the city. The strip dashed into the mountains, escaped the siege, and then rushed to Beneventom for help. At noon, it happened to be at the entrance of the mountain road from Kautim to Beneventum, and I ran into the army of Segowani back.
Segowani learned that Lola City was in danger, and did not hesitate to issue an order to "accelerate the whole army", and at the same time sent spies to quickly inform Sesala.
In this way, Kautini’s army went out of the mountains and entered Kautim’s territory. They did not enter the city to rest at all. Instead, they continued to march forward, crossing the wider pass between the mountains and reaching Abbe. Pull (abella). Here, merging with 1,300 soldiers sent by Cesala, bringing the total force to more than 9,000, which is already the largest force that the Kautini tribe can send today.
The army walked out of the pass, entered the Campania Plain, bypassed the mountains, turned south, and came straight to the city of Lola.
Although it was a smooth road from Kautim to Lola, the day’s march still exhausted the running and stamina mountain people of Samona. Many tribal leaders asked Segovani: Let the soldiers rest for a while.
But he was rejected by Segovani. In the description of several Lola messengers, he has realized the determination of Dionia-Campania coalition forces to capture Lola. He must Go for reinforcements as soon as possible to prevent this very important town to the Kautini tribe from being controlled by the Dionians, because that means that the southern part of the Kautini territory will be cut off, which he cannot allow.
About ten miles away from Lola City, Segowani received a return from the spies sent to Lola to investigate: "The enemy's army is coming out of Lola City and coming towards us. There are a lot of soldiers!"
"Are you sure that the enemy came from Lola City??!" Segowani looked incredulous.
"Big Chief, when we approached the city of Lola... the battle was over. I only saw a lot of Campanians carrying their bodies outside the city... the enemy did come out of the city from the north gate of Lola, they Dressed neatly, it's not like the battle just ended..." The Cavutini spy said sadly.
Segovani was shocked. Although he led an army eagerly to help, he did not think that the Dionian coalition could capture Lola defended by thousands of Cavutini fighters in just a few days. City, but now the situation has developed beyond his expectations.
But he just thought for a while, and said to the leaders who were at a loss: "We don't always complain,'If the Campanians don’t hide in the city like tortoises and dare not talk to us Fighting, we have already occupied the entire Campania plain! "Now the opportunity is here. Those timid Campanias dare to attack us. They really thought they had the help of the Dionians. Can they turn them from a bunch of rabbits into evil wolves?! They are about the same number as us. They have just finished the siege, so they came just right. We can completely kill them, not only to take back Lola, but also the whole There will no longer be any forces blocking us on the Panya Plain, and the situation of the entire battlefield will be changed by our Kautini people!"
The leaders were aroused by Segowani and clamored to fight the enemy to the death.
Therefore, the command "the whole army should stop advancing, rest on the spot, and start array" was carried out by the leaders.
Before, Vasonk had always been anxious. He originally thought that the Cavutini army would rest in the city of Kautim after walking the mountain road. He didn't expect to come all the way to Lola, so he Can only quietly send his subordinates to inform the other Naconian leaders about the news that "the Naconians have escaped from the control of Segovani and are allied with Dionia."
Now that we have received the news that "A battle with the Campanians will take place, and the entire army will begin to line up", Vassonke is even more anxious, because Segowani also tyrannical orders: The army must immediately follow the prescribed instructions and disperse to the designated position in the army, without rejection or delay!
The designated location mentioned by Segowani is to place the armies of a dozen or so tribes of Naconya in the front or back of the left, center, and right wing of the entire army, so that they can fight with each other. When you can’t get in touch, you can’t collaborate with each other.
In fact, the Naconian army is now a hot potato for Segovanni. Based on what he did in his territory and now Dionia has occupied Naconia (he It is believed that Naconia was occupied by Dionia). If the Naconian army understands the truth, rebellion is a sure thing.
According to Zegowani's idea, it is better to dismantle them completely and force them into the army of other tribes, which of course will arouse the resistance of the Naconian army. Segowani did not try without trying. When the Sammonite coalition forces met in Beneventum, he made this suggestion to the leaders of several other tribes. The resistance of the Konya fighters took the opportunity to dismantle them.
But this proposal was opposed by Badani and Kontruk, especially Kontruk. He severely condemned this practice. He believed that it was Quinduk’s fault to collude with foreign enemies. He and his The tribe has already been punished, and the other Naconian tribal warriors performed so bravely in the battle (the Naconian army was driven by Segowani and always charged forward), enough to make up for their past mistakes, and It is Samona’s military tradition that the leaders of the tribes lead their own people to fight, and breaking this tradition will only make other tribes feel terrified.
