In the town of Meyaro, the soldiers of the First Corps returned with captives one after another, and tens of thousands of families of exiles rushed back to the town from the port and reunited joyfully with their relatives after the fierce battle. Many people cried when they heard that their loved ones died in battle...
The fighting in the town of Meyaro has just subsided, and the battlefield full of rubble and corpses is constantly showing scenes of tragicomedies... Mealo is destined to not be peaceful this night, but fortunately there are no accidents. happen.
In the early morning of the next day, Raodixian, one of the leaders of the exiles of Naxos, led 500 warriors to the north of this almost The mountain city that has no soldiers, urge it to surrender, or kill the mercenaries.
Another leader of the Katane exiles, Lacey Peratus, led a thousand fighters to Sikuli to assist the rebellious Sikuli to conquer the acropolis.
Antonius led 3,500 First Corps soldiers and 1,000 exile fighters aboard the ships of the Dionian Fleet. The remaining soldiers and people took care of the wounded in the town and renewed this sight. The small town of Cangyi.
The Dionian fleet sailed straight to the south without encountering the Syracuse fleet on the way. Naturally, it was much earlier than when the Syracuse defeated troops led by Massias arrived at Taonis.
At this time, the situation in the city of Taunis is relatively complicated. The democrats who want to overthrow the dictatorship and the dictators who support the tyrants and are close to Syracuse are almost the same. Both sides occupy half of the city and fight endlessly.
After the defeat of the naxos battle, Palonisus led the fleet to retreat to the port of Taunis and did not immediately return to Syracuse, not far from Taunis. This was because he had a strong self-esteem and did not want to Returning as a defeated general, he was criticized by Felistos and condemned by the people, so he wanted to wait for Massias to annihilate the Dionians and return to Syracuse together, so that he could get some victory. Glory to avoid too many accusations.
Who knows that only a day later, there was news of the Syracuse riot, and Taunis also rioted immediately.
Paronisus panicked and didn't know what to do when he received the bad news. Regardless of his leadership of a fleet, there are more than 6,000 sailors alone, but when he was preparing to punish the sailors of the first warship that escaped at the port of Taunis, and was resisted by the sailors collectively, he had already lost The entire fleet is controlled, so Taois officials ran to the port to ask him for help, hoping that he could lead the army to suppress the rioting democrats. He could only express his helplessness.
After the sailors learned that the people in the port of Syracuse were also involved in this riot, they wanted to stay in Taunis, and they all clamored to rush back to Syracuse, but Paronisus could not stop it. , Did not dare to stop, so the entire fleet had left Taunis at night yesterday.
This is the reason why the Dionia fleet arrived at the sea near Taunis without any hindrance. Although the Port of Taunis was in chaos and had no defenses, the Dionian fleet did not forcibly break in. Instead, it landed on a nearby beach, sent the troops ashore, and then changed course to Katane. Oss informed Antrapolis about the landing of the First Army.
Antonius, who had landed ashore, rectified the troops a bit, and immediately asked Xenofinnis to rush to Leontine with the few cavalry to get in touch with him.
Antonius obviously overestimated the defeated Syracuse army. The soldiers of the First Legion and the exiles waited from morning to afternoon for a full six hours, during which they ate lunch and slept. I took a nap, and cultivated my spirit and strength.
Antonius also got in touch with Katane and Leonid several times through scouts, so as to get a general understanding of the movements of the Syracuse.
When Antonios arranged everything properly, Syracuse talents arrived.
Before the Syracuse could react from the shock, Antonios gave the order to "army forward."
The soldiers of the First Legion and the exile fighters, wearing armor, holding shields and spears, lined up in a neat line, strode forward, and a light of hatred burst into their eyes. They wanted to avenge their comrades who died in the hard fight yesterday. , To avenge the city-state destroyed by the Syracuse!
Macias was already timid in the face of the aggressive approaching enemy. Although his team had more than 4,000 people due to the containment along the way, all of them lacked armor and armor, and their army was disorganized. (To facilitate the escape yesterday, many The soldiers threw away their weapons and equipment).
Furthermore, on this journey, I have been entangled with the Katane rebels for a long time. Where did the exhausted soldiers still have the fighting spirit to fight with the restless enemy, before Mathias gave the order to "retire". The restless soldiers turned and ran back.
But the soldiers didn't run a few steps, and stopped again, because a team of about a thousand people also appeared behind.
The Syracuse now understands that they are in an ambush, and the team is even more panicked.
"Run up the mountain!..." the soldiers screamed in panic, rushing to the west mountain, as if this was their only way out.
But when they ran to the foot of the mountain, countless javelins and arrows shot out from the dense forest.
Amid the screams, the Syracuses were alarmed to find that there were also enemy ambushes on the mountains. Yes, the light infantry brigade of the First Army and the Leonidians have been waiting in the mountains for a long time.
The remaining fighting spirit of Syracuse’s defeat was completely wiped out, and the team became a dish of scattered sand, fleeing in all directions...
Then it's time for the Dionian soldiers to capture the prisoners.
At this time, Antonios finally breathed a sigh of relief, not caring about the dignity of the legion commander, sitting on the ground, happily watching the soldiers hunt down the fleeing enemy like eagles and chickens.
"Leader, someone is coming!" Suddenly, the guard whispered to him.
He fixed his eyes, and a group of people walked in front of him.
He stood up unhurriedly and tidied his helmet and breastplate.
"Master Antonios, congratulations, you defeated the Allied Forces of Syracuse!" The familiar-faced man walking in the front raised his arms and congratulated him excitedly.
"Antrapolis?!" Antonios looked at him and asked loudly.
"It's me, Lord Antonios. In fact, we were at Master Daves's mansion before--" Before Antrapolis finished speaking, he heard people around him exclaiming, and his face was immediately touched. With a heavy punch and a stagger, he almost fell to the ground.
Along with the salty smell in his mouth, Antrapolis stretched out his hand and found that the corner of his mouth was bleeding, and his heart suddenly became angry.
"This punch is for the soldiers of the First Legion who died in Mayaro yesterday! It is also for the soldiers who have been running around under your command these days!"
Antonius’ cold voice came into Antrapolis’ ears, which not only quenched his anger, but also made him feel a little uneasy: As an ordinary citizen of Dionia, he was writing In the letter to the high-ranking senator and the commander of the First Legion, although the word "hope" was used, he certainly knew that under the banner of Daves, Antonios could not refuse him, and his That special identity can’t make it to a formal occasion, and there is a weird phenomenon that "the command of an ordinary citizen of Dionian mobilizes a legion commander". If you let other legion commanders know, I’m afraid you’ll laugh out loud, and it’s no wonder Antonio S will beat him.
"Since Dionysius invaded Great Greece, countless Dionian people died in this war... Sicily is the rear of Syracuse that has been operating for many years, with countless allies and large populations. The resources are abundant, and the First Army is facing dangers alone, and there are many dangers...I also had to do this in order to carry out your majesty’s order and end this war as soon as possible! In fact, we have won, haven’t we! Lord Antonios, you are now He is already a conqueror of southeastern Sicily!" Antrapolis said softly but hardly, but it means: Without my help, you, Antonios, would have such brilliance, I am afraid it would have been over long ago. NS!
Antonius certainly understood what he meant. Among the commanding generals of Dionia, he has a higher EQ, so Daves sent him to Sicily instead of Arminta. Si, the great help that Antrapolis has given him, he knows very well in his heart that he was just venting the depression under his command for the past two days. In fact, when he punched his punches, he regained his strength, otherwise Antrapolis would be defeated. Can't get up.
"Yes, it is not easy to win!" He sighed, and thanked Antrapolis in a tactful manner.
Then the two fell silent, making the Katanas who rushed to defend Antrapolis and the guards who blocked them a little at a loss.
After a while, Antrapolis, whose status was even lower, spoke first: "Master Antonios, what plans do you have for us to cooperate next?"
Antrapolis' low posture makes Antonios unlucky: "I don't know what is going on in Syracuse now?" he asked.
"According to the information received so far, the rioting people in Syracuse have occupied the entire city and the port, and Dionysius’ men and mercenaries retreated on Ortigia Island. As far as I know, that It is the old nest of Dionysius, facing the sea on three sides and connected to the city of Syracuse on one side. It is built with tall and thick walls and fortresses. The island is full of his supporters. The rioting people cannot capture it." Antrapolis said thoughtfully.
"It seems that the next task of the First Army is to march into Syracuse, assist the people of Syracuse, and capture Ortigia Island." Antonios's seemingly calm words couldn't hold back his excitement.
