Daves seemed to think of something, and turned to look at his son who was standing next to him: "Crotto, give you a task. Take some staff to the camp of the reserve team and teach the soldiers to play rugby and football. , So that they can play, I will let Tolmeid postpone the reserve team game as far as possible..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will teach them in the shortest time!" After Cloto Kataks replied solemnly, he couldn't help but ask: "Can I play with them?"

"You have to ask you Uncle Matonis." Daves smiled and looked at Matonis again.

Faced with the eager gaze of Croto Kataks, Matonis chose to give in: "This...Of course it can."

After the celebration of that day in Rome, Sextus now of course knows that Cloto Catacs is the son of King Daves. It can be seen that Daves attaches great importance to the Roman reserve team. Of course he treats Croto The joining of Tocatax expressed a warm welcome.

"Your Majesty, we won't attack Satnikum for now, what about Antiium and Villitre?" Olivers reminded.

"For the time being, just like before, send the cavalry to watch them, and wait for the football and football games to discuss." Davers said that, he already had a plan in his heart, and he was ready to turn his next offensive goal to Antiium, because there are not many defenders in the city and it is a port city, taking it can make it easier to transport the arsenal by sea, and at the same time put pressure on the defenders of Sartnikum.

"Your Majesty, the Carthage army has landed in Sicily. This time is different from the last time. Our army in Sicily will face a huge threat. Should we end the war in Latham as soon as possible and go to rescue Sicily?! "Amintas was unwilling, so the tone of his speech became a bit heavy.

Davers looked at him and his expression became serious: "I have just said that the soldiers, like us, are all fleshy, not iron-clad. They need proper rest and entertainment for recreation. They are melancholy and war-weary. You go back to see your First Legion. Compared with when you first arrived at Wolsey, how many new faces have you changed now! Don’t you feel a little guilty! Since you all said that the Carthage army was against Sicily Threat, then we paid countless soldiers' deaths and wounds and attacked Sutnikum. It is indeed possible to end the war in Latham as soon as possible, but leading such a half-destructive army to face the army of Carthage, you think it can be defeated Right?"

Davos's voice is not loud, but everyone can feel the anger in his words, as if a cold wind blows into the big tent, almost everyone's heart is shocked.

Amintas flushed, but he dared not speak any more.

When Davers saw this, he smiled slightly, calmed down his tone, and said slowly: "We don’t attack Sutnikum, it doesn’t mean we just let it go. The camp must continue to advance down the city and clear it. The traps under the city tighten the encirclement; the ballistas must bombard the city walls every day and throw fireballs into the city; the siege base must be erected as soon as possible so that the light infantry can attack the Roman soldiers at the head of the city from a distance...In short, let Rome The defenders are always in a state of tension and exhaustion!"

When Daves said this, he suddenly looked at Sextus in the far corner, and asked softly: "Sextus, before we attacked Satnikum, we used to let Congka The Roman family members who came down from Pitorin Hill went to the city to persuade them to surrender. Why is the effect not so good?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the Roman general. The young Sextus did not feel nervous because of his origin. He said with a complex expression: "I think this...may be related to Camelus. Regarding, he is very much respected by these Roman citizens of noble origin, and is also an example for them to learn from. He sent back the family members you gave to him under the city of Rome. There will surely be some citizen soldiers in the city to learn from him, and the Roman nobles maintain Your own clan’s interests will try to gain honor for the family, so in the past...surrendering to the enemy...will be regarded as a shame by them. Therefore, many people may learn Camilos’s approach. Others have differences in their hearts. I’ll follow suit for the time being... and then we attacked too quickly, and the defenders in the city resisted with all their strength, and naturally no one would quietly leave the city and surrender..."

"Camillos is a great Roman! No matter he is a man or something, he is beyond blame, and he is good at learning at such an age. You see that the defense facilities he set up under the city is to learn from us, and also Improvements have been made, but we have suffered a lot! What a pity, according to the description of the Tustron, he has quadriplegia. It is said that he has a little difficulty in speaking, and it seems that he will not live long..." Daves Sighing.

The captains were more or less unconvinced when they heard this, and Sextus's face naturally showed a bit of sorrow.

Daves did not stop on this topic. He looked at Sextus and said: “It’s early August, and the harvest season is approaching. Usually at this time, the food in the homes of Dionian people is almost ready. When it’s exhausted, it’s just waiting to harvest new grain. I think the Latins should be the same. Camillos led the army to retreat to Satnikum in a hurry. Even if there is a certain amount of grain reserves, I believe it will not be too much. I believe it will not last long to supply tens of thousands of soldiers. When the time comes, let these families go to the city every day to persuade them to surrender. Do you think those tired and hungry Roman soldiers who are always nervous can maintain the honor they admire?"

Sixtus thought about it seriously, then answered frankly: "I don't think many people can do it."

"Yes, it can't be done. Hungry is more painful than death." Daves raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "As long as a small number of people choose to surrender out of the city, it will affect For other Roman defenders, their morale will quickly fall, until they finally collapse...Sometimes it is more effective to kill with a soft knife than to fight directly."

"Your Majesty is right. We do not attack by force. On the contrary, it is easier to take down the city of Satnikum, and it can also greatly reduce casualties!" Tolmeide immediately praised.

Several legion commanders also expressed their approval one after another, but Amintas did not speak, a little disapproving in his heart.

Davos looked in his eyes and didn't care too much. Seeing Martius walked into the big tent, he asked: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the leader of Midolades has sent a messenger."

"Let him in."

The messenger of the Third Fleet respectfully saluted King Daves, and said excitedly: "Report to Your Majesty, our 3rd Fleet captured Alenia in Corsica yesterday!"

Everyone in the tent heard this news and was taken aback: You must know that Alenia is the largest city-state in Corsica. With 6000 infantrymen in the fleet, and no heavy infantry, they managed to conquer Alenia in such a short period of time? !

"How did you capture Alenia?" Daves asked curiously, and the other generals also pricked their ears.

The messenger immediately recounted the entire process of conquering Alesia.

"Be good at listening to the suggestions of his subordinates. Once the plan is made, I will implement it seriously. Midolades has done a very good job!" Daves praised loudly: "It is to formulate the most effective combat based on the situation of the enemy and ourselves. Plan, rather than brute force, so that we can win victory with small casualties. From this point of view, Midolades is already an excellent commander! And the fleet infantry commander of the Third Fleet is called ... is called ..."

"My name is Myon Tid." Tolmeide reminded him in a low voice.

"Myon Tied, um, I noted it, he is also very good!" Daves praised earnestly.

Several army commanders also congratulated the victory, but their expressions were a bit complicated. After all, the navy successfully captured a city-state without the help of the infantry corps.

Amintas felt that what Daves said just now was admonishing him.

"Your Majesty, the commander of Midolades hopes to get your consent to attack the Phoenician towns in Sardinia." The messenger saw Davers pleased and said immediately while the iron was hot.

"Go back and tell Midolades, I told him before that he can decide the target of the attack according to his own situation." Daves was in a good mood, smiled and said: "Now he has taken Lenya, has established a firm foothold on the Dilenian Sea, of course you can choose the target of your attack according to your own situation, but you go back and tell him a word, just like the capture of Alenia, continue to use more brains and reduce Soldiers were killed and wounded."

"Your Majesty, I remember."

After the messenger left, Daves looked around the crowd and said vigorously: "Everyone, Alexis has captured Kautim and Beneventum. The Kautini people have been completely maimed, Hill The Pini tribes have already surrendered to us one after another, Karacheni and Pentini retreat from the mountains and are unable to fight back. The war in Samona is nearing completion.

And here in Latinam, the Latin city-states have almost all surrendered, and the surrounding forces have also expressed their friendship to us. Assistus has governed Rome well and has maintained stability. When the autumn harvest is harvested, the Roman people will Once more benefits are obtained, support for Dionia will be further deepened, and the supply of rations for the army of the entire kingdom will be greatly improved.

Just now, the 3rd Fleet sent another good news. The Carthage forces in Corsica have been eliminated, and they will also march into Sardinia... Now, from the battle of Dionia north of Lijim Stability has been achieved, and the battlefields are either occupying great advantages or are about to end.

Under the circumstances that the whole battle was in favor of us, the Carthage army landed in Sicily again. In my opinion, it was not a bad thing, but a good thing. The Sicilian fleet occupies a maritime advantage. Plesouus and Cipros are very capable. They can completely withstand the attack of the Carthaginians for a period of time, drag the Carthaginian army, and kill their spirit. , Wait until we end the war in Rome, and then gather the army, rush to Sicily, gather and annihilate the Carthage army! At that time, I don't believe that Carthage still has the ability to send another huge army! "

Davos's remarks greatly excited the generals.

On the third day that Leotizides led his army to Jera, he was ready to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and he didn't even have time to wait for the arrival of Pachinus' reinforcements. Why was he so anxious?
