Leotizides said, looking at the front of the city. The enemies on the city are closely arranged, and there is no obvious gap. It is impossible for him to see the distribution of forces behind him, but he still looks very Confident: "Since the defensive ability of the Syracuse people is weakening, you should personally tell the captain of the 7th Legion that he should not take into account the casualties and continue to increase the offensive force and impose on the Syracuse defenders. More pressure!"
"Uh...Yes!" Taglu had no choice but to take his orders.
Leotizides turned his gaze to the northeast. Although he couldn't see where the fortress of Yuliarus was, he was looking forward to Theocassius's ability to lead his army to repel the enemy's attack. That might be the time when he sent these 3,000 soldiers as preparations to the fortress of Yuriarus.
He was meditating, and a scout galloped from the south: "Report to your commander that more than 40 Syracuse warships are sailing out of the harbor and coming towards our camp!"
Leotizides listened for a moment: The Syracuse people are going to raid my camp from the sea? !
He then thought: Is it possible that the weakening of the Syracuse’s defensive strength is due to the fact that they mobilized soldiers to attack my rear when I was in a hurry to attack the city? !
Since the Dionian camp is only four miles away from Syracuse West, there are only 200 soldiers stationed in the camp, and there is a large amount of food stored in the camp. Of course, there is no room for loss.
However, Leotizides is not nervous. He even hopes that the Syracuse will come to the camp, so that he can more annihilate the opponent’s vital forces, so he sent a messenger to notify him not far away. The 3,000 soldiers who are well-reserved, let them return to the defensive camp, but the marching speed is slow.
Just as he gave the order, another small group of cavalry galloped from the south. The captain of the guard next to Leontizides led the guards to greet him, and soon he returned with a few men. When the first person saw Leotizides, he immediately shouted: "Commander, I am under Lord Serofennis, and I have very important information to report to you!"
Although this person makes Leotizides feel unfamiliar, when he heard the name Xenofinnis, he couldn't help but feel a move: Xerofinnis, as the head of Dionia's intelligence service in Sicily, whether in A few years ago, he put down the Western Kells' rebellion, or in this war with Carthage, he provided great help to Leonidzides.
So, Leottizides suddenly had great expectations in his heart, but he didn't show up, he was still a little cautious, and said indifferently: "I haven't seen you, how can you prove it?"
The man quietly took out a thumb-sized thing from his arms and handed it to the captain of the guard, and then whispered: "Barr Harmon."
Before, when Leotizides led the army to the west of Sicily, Seraphinis could not always be by his side to provide information, so he told Leotizides: In west Sicily, only someone should sleep with a hand in hand. An iron statue of the **** Punos and able to speak the password at the time, then he is a member of the intelligence department, and he must believe the information he provided.
Leotizides met several times in the West, and the information they provided benefited him a lot. This time he went to Syracuse, Serofennis also told him, and also Tell him the name of the head of the intelligence service in Syracuse.
According to Serofennis, just like the logo of the Legionnaire is a three-headed dog, the logo of the intelligence service is the **** of sleep, Shupunos, because the **** of sleep can make people fall asleep without noticing, and then do whatever they want, which is exactly the same. The style of the intelligence department.
He looked at the iron statue of the Sleeping God Shupunos and found that its base also had a set of "Davos Numbers". It is said that it represents the identity of the owner and the area it is responsible for, and the other party also said That's the password.
Leotizides returned the statue to the other party, and then asked: "Your name?"
"Artemis, in charge of Syracuse."
It's all right! Leottizides looked at him, and his appearance was basically consistent with what Serofennis had described. Then he asked: "What important information is it?"
"The Syracuse General Hitacs has decided to lead the people of the port area to join the kingdom. He now leads more than 2,000 soldiers following him to control the front military port and prepares to fight the army of Syracuse. For this reason He sent all the warships and prepared to dock on the beach not far from our camp, picking up our soldiers into the naval port of Syracuse, reinforcing them, and then attacking the city of Syracuse together..." Artemis Finished the story with excitement.
Leotizides’s heart is shaken: Syracuse is fighting, some Syracuses have descended, the naval port is open to the Dionian army, soldiers can enter Syracuse in their warships City... These words surprised the always calm Leotizides and couldn't believe it: the great opportunity to attack Syracuse was so easily placed in front of him? !
When his mood was fluctuating, he heard Artemis say: "This is Samoratis, the nephew of General Hyktas. He played an important role in persuading Hyktas to join the kingdom. Role!"
Zamoratis stepped forward, looking nervously at the commander Dionia, who was wearing a black breastplate and a fuchsia crown and helmet, with a little excitement in his heart.
The Syracuses hate Dionian for taking away their glory, but it also prompts them to pay more attention to this powerful neighbor, and Dionian's victorious army attracts young people. In recent years, the Dionian general who has made Syracuse’s young people the most talked about is Leottizides in front of him: he has conquered the headaches of the Western Kyle, and has won more with less. Defeated the Carthage army, and even led the army to the west to wreak havoc in the territory controlled by the Carthaginians... In recent months, in the discussions of Syracuses, this rumored indifferent and ruthless Dai General Onia's limelight has surpassed King Dionian, who once completely defeated Dionysius and led to its demise.
Zamoratis faced the sharp gaze of Leotizides's scrutiny, and said nervously and eagerly: "Respected... General Prosous, Siracusa’s army will soon... We will arrive at the military port soon. Our people are not well equipped. Most of them are light infantry. It is difficult to withstand their attack, so please... send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I'll send reinforcements." Leotizides said immediately.
Artemis was a little stunned. He didn't expect Leotizides to agree so simply without thinking. It seemed to be inconsistent with the rumored image of being cautious and thoughtful.
Zamoratis expressed his gratitude with joy.
Actually, Leotizides had nothing to hesitate. Carthage’s warships were all docked to the shore. After the Dionian soldiers got on the ship, they controlled the entire warship. This is a conspiracy. Thousands of sailors and the entire Syracuse navy are used as bait, and the risk is too great. In the situation that Syracuse is facing nowadays, Leotizides does not think The Syracuse people have this courage and courage, and it is even more difficult to persuade their council to carry out this plan.
Leotizides decided to let the 3,000 soldiers in preparation to board the warships of Syracuse and land at the naval port. At the same time, he also sent people to inform the Eighth Army Corps that was resting to rush to the beach as the No. The 2 waves of troops that landed on the military port, compared with the farther Yuliarus Fortress, the port is a better springboard for attacking the city of Siracusa. Now that he has made up his mind, he simply put all the surplus troops together. Sent over.
……………………………………
The Syracuse army that attacked the fortress of Yuriarus paid a lot of casualties, and finally smashed the wooden planks blocking the entrance with the wood. The soldiers roared with excitement, and swarms poured in. At the entrance of the cave, they will kill all the enemies who invaded the city.
However, as soon as they rushed into the fortress, the soldiers running at the forefront stopped suddenly, because in front of them there was an earth ditch about three meters wide and two meters deep. It stretched to two meters. On the side of the stone wall, and on the opposite side of the trench is a dense array of spears lined up by Dionian soldiers.
The Syracuse soldiers in the front stopped moving, but the soldiers in the rear were constantly pouring in, and they immediately pushed the soldiers in front into the dirt ditch, although because of the rush of time, no pointed wood has been buried in the ditch. Stabbed, but when the Syracuse soldiers who fell in the ditch were struggling in panic and tried to get up, another group of new soldiers fell on them, and then the next group of soldiers was involuntarily pushed and stepped on. On the fallen teammates, they finally crossed the dirt ditch, and they were greeted by countless gleaming spears...
The Dionian soldiers on the stone wall kept throwing javelins, stones, and even cupping jars down.
Screams and groans filled this small fortress. Not long after they rushed into the fortress, the Syracuse soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they were quickly defeated.
After the army led by Diocasis repelled the enemies in the walkways on both sides of the city walls, they defeated the main force of Syracuse attacking from the south. According to the previous plan, he should continue to garrison the fort and wait for reinforcements. Arrived, instead of pursuing them alone, to prevent the enemy from being surrounded, but not long ago the messengers brought new news: Dionia’s reserve team landed in the port of Syracuse, and Syracuse, who had just joined the kingdom The people of the port area fought the Syracuse army together.
At the same time, Leotizides gave him a new order: When the enemy attacking the fort retreats, no longer need to stay behind the fortress, and immediately march towards the city!
So, Diocasis did not hesitate to give the order of "all-army pursuit".
