The enemy's flying stones were blocked by the round shields, and there was no harm to them. The soldiers were still glad that they had found the right way. After another ten meters, the distance to the camp gate was already less than fifty meters.
At this time, the four outposts behind the wooden wall to the west of the mercenaries began to shoot arrows at them. Arrows pouring from different angles were not so easy to block, and the bucklers were moved to prevent bows and arrows from both sides. , Their heads are about to be hit by flying rocks, but they are all gathered in the middle. Mercenary archers and slingers can concentrate their firepower. Arrow flying rocks attack from all directions like hail, killing and injuring dozens of people in an instant. The former team was almost empty, scaring the others to forget the lessons of Picsis and fled in all directions. As a result, the mercenary trap made new achievements. In a short period of time, the Vigs suffered hundreds of casualties.
Sedorum said no matter how Ren Sinsingnag urged him to attack.
The mercenaries were very happy to see the enemy fleeing in embarrassment, but then, the enemy stopped attacking, and they were dissatisfied again. After all, repelling the enemy’s offensive mainly relies on light infantry companies and traps. They didn’t even touch the enemy’s hair, so they began to yell out loudly...
Seeing this situation, Dafus nodded secretly: military will be available!
He didn't expect the enemy to pursue and aggressively attack, and he didn't even break through the trench in front of the camp, so it would come to an abrupt end. If you think about it carefully, you will understand: After the previous battle, the Lukanians consumed a lot of physical strength and energy. It is estimated that they can continue to maintain a strong desire to attack only when they are stimulated by victory and revenge. In fact, these mountain tribes are not good at siege. After suffering a setback in front of the strong defensive camp of the Daves mercenaries, they will naturally calm down.
Daves analyzes the battle situation and adds experience to future defensive operations. At the same time, he sent Asisters through the tunnel to Dracos and their camp to observe the battle.
The news in return is also gratifying: Due to the enthusiasm of the expeditionary soldiers to build the camp, Dracos, Adrianx, and Sesta led the soldiers to dig deeper trenches outside the camp. , And strengthened the wall. Although there are no cumbersome and complicated traps (this requires certain technical ability and experience), it is enough to make the enemies pursued suffer. After all, the Tarantum reinforcements also retreated into their camp, which helped the defeated mercenaries and restored their morale quickly.
The fighters of Niutum and Raos attacked for a while, and after suffering some casualties, they found that the mercenaries were tightly defended and could not go down with one blow, so they naturally gave up the attack. They obviously wanted more than they wanted. The vengeful Picsis is smart.
After safety is guaranteed, Daves’s attention is no longer focused on the battlefield that has gradually calmed down. He needs to calm down and think: Next, what should the mercenary do?
The battle failed, and the Lukarians would have a difficult time trying to capture Turriy. Daves has visited many times, and the six-meter-wide moat and ten-meter-high city wall are already very difficult for the Lucanians who lack siege equipment and siege experience. Besides, they don't have a boat yet, so they can't come and go freely on the Craty River.
The Lucanians will never mobilize people just to win a battle. Their goal should be to occupy the Subari Plain, establish a camp, herd cattle and sheep, grow wheat on this flat and fertile land...
Turiyi suffered huge losses in the previous two battles. Obviously, they are temporarily unable to counter the Lucanian invasion, but they still have the plains on the south bank of the Krati River, and they can forbear temporarily, accumulate strength, and recruit again. Soldiers, counterattack with plans...
But for the Davos mercenaries on the north bank of the Craty River, things are not so good. The failure of the battle not only affected his next plan, but the mercenaries also became the key targets of the Lucanians. At the same time, Daves did not want to be a **** of Turri, to contain them on the North Bank. Attack of the Lukanians. But let him lead his army to leave here, leave Great Greece, this is unacceptable to him! The hope he just germinated, his dream, and his ambition are all here! Daves could not tolerate leaving without accomplishing anything, and went to fight again for survival! ……What should I do? What should I do? ...

The one who is also troubled about what to do is that the leader of Lucania, who occupied the city of Amendorara, Weisbah, was lucky enough to not respond to Grumentum’s order and send troops to the war. Waiting for the result of the battle between the two armies before deciding to stay, so when he learned that the Lukanian tribe's coalition forces actually had more than 15,000 troops and easily defeated Turiyi, he panicked and hurriedly recruited a few. The elder discussed the countermeasures and asked the priest to divination for good or bad. The result of the divination turned out to be: there is no danger. This made Weisba's mood after intense discussions and preliminary countermeasures settled.
He sent envoys and a small team of soldiers to rush the pack full of wine and food to the Subari Plain, hoping that through this friendly way of grazing the Lukaria tribe’s coalition forces, he could get the Grumentum chief. A trace of forgiveness lays the foundation for the next confession and begging for mercy. If the messenger finds that the situation is not good, then they can only escape back to the mountains at night.

Sincinnag was still unwilling to be reconciled after his defeat and sent people to the east, south, and north sides of the mercenary camp. The results were frustrating: not only were there traps, trenches, outposts, and deer villages, but also There is also a tunnel to the north that connects with the camp next to it, so you can get support at any time.
He gave up his heart and withdrew the tribe, waiting for Akpiru's arrival.
After waiting for a long time, Akpiru came slowly with an army. After all, six thousand armies were thrown out to chase Turyi's defeated soldiers. It was not easy to regroup these fighters who had risen to death.
The soldiers of Grumentum killed all the defeated soldiers outside the city of Turiyi, and even some of the fighters got red eyes, forced to cross the moat, and came under the city of Turiyi, only to be attacked by the same enemy on the city wall. The people of Li Yi angrily beat them with arrows, javelins, and stones, and fled back in embarrassment, which calmed them down.
Seeing this situation, Akpiru temporarily took a break from the fluke of taking Turriyi City. He had to reorganize the team and rush to join other teams. It can be seen that most of the Picosis fighters are wounded and mentally depressed, and can't help being taken aback, and rushing to ask why.
Sincinnag told him how his people fought bravely, and the mercenaries against him were very despicable and cunning...Wait, and at the same time, he complained griefly that the Vigs were negligent and even killed Lucani during the battle. The evil deeds of demi people.
The leader of Vig City, Sedorum, did not expect that Sinsingnag would sue the wicked first. He was immediately anxious and shouted wronged. He also pleaded with grief and angrily: "Lord Akpiru, you have to know that it’s not me. Unwilling to fight at all costs, it is true that Chief Sinsingnag is overconfident, thinking that the bravery of the Picosis warriors alone is enough to defeat the left wing of the Greeks, and the Vig warriors are arranged in the back line, and the right wing is his master. I can’t do anything about it. On the contrary, when the front line of Picosis was about to collapse, it was our Vig fighters who attacked bravely, helped Picocis stabilize the battle and saved our right wing, so we Vig fighters He made a great contribution to the victory of this battle! As for killing and wounding the Picosis fighters, it is because Picosis’s ruined troops are breaking into the formation of the right wing, in order to prevent the defeat, and at the same time forcing them to fight again. As a last resort, not many Picosis fighters were actually injured. It was with such an emergency method that the right wing finally repelled the enemy. And when we attacked the Greek camp, we Vig The soldiers also killed and injured hundreds of people..."
"You bullshit! You bullshit! If it weren’t for your Bruti's unwillingness to contribute at first, how could we fight so hard! Just now, when you attacked the Greek camp, your Vigs were the last to rush. Here!" Sinsingnag roared angrily: "Gnainath, tell everyone, how many warriors did the Vig kill us?!"
Gnainath hesitated, and under his father's staring gaze, he hesitated and said: "About...about one hundred and fifty people, all of them are behind...being stabbed by a spear."
After Gnainath finished speaking, both the Picosis fighter and the Vig fighter were already glaring at each other, and the atmosphere was quite tense...
