But the Samos never expected that under the command of the fleet commander such as Sekelian, about 80% of the raven warships in the Dionian fleet docked on the nearby beach, and the fleet infantry came down from the warship. , Gathered nearly 15,000 people and surrounded the city of Samos.

The Samos on the head of the city were all shocked when they looked at the dense, well-equipped Dionian soldiers outside the city.

At this time, Sekerian sent a messenger into the city of Samos and threatened the Samos men aggressively at the council: Immediately submit to Dionia. If they dare to let go of the Asia Minor fleet, even if they surrender, they will Be punished!

The threat of the messenger frightened the Senators of Samos and reminded them of the rumors that Dionia had destroyed Tygea in the Greek War, so they did not dare to counterattack the messenger’s arrogance, but were polite. The said: The council needs time to discuss this important issue before it can make a decision.

Secrian learned of the performance of the Summers Council from the messenger, and discussed with Midolades and Stefakas, and then reached an agreement: he led the first fleet and these 15 2,000 infantrymen of the fleet continued to encircle the city of Samos; while the Second Fleet and Third Fleet immediately went northward to Milia.

Before night fell, Secrian even made another decision: tow all the warships to the beach, and only sent the clippers to take turns to stare at the port of Samos.

This is a very bold decision. The Asia Minor fleet can take advantage of this favorable opportunity to rush out of the port and quickly escape back to Halicarnassus.

In fact, the generals of the Asia Minor fleet did ask Samos to leave the port, but the Council of Samos is still arguing over the daytime requirements of the Dionian messenger, and there is no consensus. How dare you? Let the Asia Minor fleet leave and bring disasters to myself, so I found all kinds of reasons to shirk it. The leaders of the Asia Minor fleet themselves also had different opinions, and there was no strong request to leave at night, so it was temporarily gone.

By the early morning of the second day, Sekrian led the First Fleet to re-block the port, and the army on the shore, led by the First Fleet Infantry Commander, Seyfidorus, fell the trees on the island. , Partly used to build camps, partly used to build siege equipment, put on a posture ready to attack the city at any time.

The Samos citizen soldiers in Chengtou saw all this, and their hearts were even more disturbed.

There are also the generals of the Asia Minor Fleet who are disturbed. They are asking once again that they want to leave the port quietly at night, and their attitude is very determined.

So after the Samos tried perfunctory but failed, their attitude became tough: they refused to open the port water gate and let them go.

As a result, the two sides almost clashed.

Compared with the riots that almost happened in the city, Sekerian outside the city is also not easy, because the rations carried by the crew have already been eaten. Fish soup, barely satisfy your hunger.

But Secorian was confident of victory. Not only did he trust Midolades and Stefakas, but he had fought side by side with Leotichides. He firmly believed in the current Greece The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces will definitely seize this opportunity and come to help in time.

For this reason, he visited various tents throughout the evening, encouraging the crew and the fleet infantry to persevere.

In the early morning of the third day, the hungry crew of Dionia still sailed out to sea and blocked the port of Samos. If the Asia Minor fleet rushed out of the port and the first fleet of Dionia would fight to the death, the victory would be defeated. It is still unknown, but the Asia Minor fleet feared that there were more enemy warships than its own, and chose to continue to huddle in the harbor.

The delay of the Samos is more like handing over fate to the gods, of course, they even more hope that the Persian reinforcements will arrive in time.

But at noon, a huge fleet came from the north, completely disappointing the expectations of the Samos.

Leotichides not only sent a fleet to transport food, but also let the Second, Third, and Fourth Fleet carry soldiers from the entire Tenth Corps. Thousands of warships gathered at a time. The waters near Samos not only deterred the Asia Minor fleet in the port of Samos, but also demonstrated its powerful naval power to nearby coastal cities such as Ephesus.

8000 Tenth Army soldiers and the remaining fleet infantry all landed on Samos. Nearly 30,000 Dionian soldiers lined up outside the city, spreading over most of Samos. The mountains, not to mention the amazing ballista.

The Samos are completely desperate. It has never faced such a powerful enemy since its establishment. Athens, which once attacked it, cannot be compared with it. Therefore, the Dionian soldiers did not start to attack the city, they quickly Make a decision-surrender.

The Asia Minor fleet commanders in the port learned that the Samos had betrayed Persia, and immediately led the crew to riot in the port, trying to seize the water gate so that the fleet's warships could rush out of the port and make a final desperate fight. It's better to be captured directly before the First World War.

Who knows that after the self-aware Samos surrendered to the Dionian army, they immediately invited the Dionian army into the city and asked them to personally deal with the tens of thousands of Asia Minor fleet crews entrenched in the harbor.

It didn’t take long for the riots launched by the Asia Minor Fleet to be smashed by the 10th Dionian Army, which arrived quickly. So far, the Dionian army and fleet have hardly suffered any loss. They captured the entire Persian Asia Minor fleet. An exciting victory, it not only means that Dionian has temporarily obtained the maritime dominance in the western part of Asia, but also has changed Persia and Dionian, whose naval strength is roughly equal. Dionian And its allies began to take advantage.

The destruction of the Persian Asia Minor fleet and the surrender of Samos had a great impact on the Greek states in western Asia Minor. They suddenly realized that they had lost the protection of the navy, and most of the Persian garrisons in various regions went to Phrygia. The amazingly powerful Dionian fleet can land and attack any western coastal city-state wantonly, so Ephesus, Miletus, Caios... and even Lesvos and many other Greek city-states in Asia Minor changed their attitude of alienation before. Envoys were sent successively to express friendly intentions to the Dionian fleet and the landing Dionian army, and some even asked them to release part of the crew of the Asia Minor fleet. After all, most of the crew of the Asia Minor fleet came from these Greek city-states.

Leotichides led the generals of the coalition forces, together with the commanders of the Dionian fleet such as Sekrian, and the Athenian admiral Caprias, held a military meeting in Ilion. After discussion, it was decided : As long as the Greek city-states of Asia Minor regularly provide a certain amount of military supplies to Dionian and the Greek navy and land forces, and open ports to the coalition fleet, then Dionian and its allies will promise not to attack these cities and release those from them. The crew of the city...

In the announcement to the Greek city-states of Asia Minor, there was no requirement for them to surrender to Dionia, because Leotichides, Sekelian and others were very clear in their hearts: only the ones who completely defeated Asia Minor Only the army on the land can make these wall grasses fall completely towards Dionia!

………………………………………………………………

In the early morning of January 364 BC (the 30th year of the Kingdom of Dionian), the people of Turinne, who had just celebrated the New Year, got up very early and cleaned the road in front of their houses. After eating breakfast, some people flocked to the river port in the city, and some people waited by the road near the house. By the time it was light, the road from the foot of King's Hill to the inner city pier was already crowded with men, women and children.

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the cheers of "coming! Coming!" came from the front, and the people suddenly became excited. Everyone pushed and pushed me. If it weren’t for the soldiers on the road to maintain order, I’m afraid it would Caused a lot of riots.

After a while. A team of court cavalry appeared in the middle of the road. They were wearing black breastplates, purple cloaks, and red crown helmets. They rode majestic steeds and marched forward in a neat queue.

Behind them, King Davos of Dionia appeared in front of the people. He was wearing a golden crown, wearing a magnificent armor engraved with Hades wielding a double-stranded fork, and a thick coat of hair. Weaving a burqa and riding a black horse, although his hair is gray and white, his back is still straight, and his eyesight is sharp, making him look energetic.

Alongside him is his eldest son, Cloto Kataks, now the Archon of the Kingdom. His achievements in Turíy in the past few years are obvious to all, especially the successful hosting of Dio last year. In the Nia Games, his ability to govern has been fully recognized by the Turrii people, which is why they did not have much worry when they learned that King Davos was going to conquer Persia, the great power of the East.

Behind them is Apox, the second son of King Davos. He is already a well-known scholar in the kingdom. He was also promoted to the deputy dean of the Mathematics College of Dionian Academy last year. He used his wisdom It is well-known among the people of Turiyi, but because of the long-term expectation in the academy, it seems mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.

Next to Apox is Antebris, the third son of King Daves. Among Daves’ children, he is the most popular among Turrii people, not only because he is a football star, but also because He has an active personality, is willing to contact with civilians, and is very grounded.

Beside Antebris, it is Eunice, the second daughter of King Davos (although Cynthia is only Daves’ adopted daughter, she was recognized by the people of Turiyi when she was gentle and virtuous, and regarded her as Dai Firth’s eldest daughter), as a woman, she should have traveled in a carriage like a mother and sisters, but she chose to ride a horse. She loves sports and has a personality similar to men. She is also loved by the Turian people. Especially for Tury merchants, she who has taken over the Christoya Chamber of Commerce in recent years is even more popular with them for her capable and decisive style.
