The expropriation of grain is actually a robbery by force. As Rome and its allies often fight together, they have already had a more professional logistics support system. There are special quartermasters to prepare food. The main food comes from the unified transfer of the Senate and the allies provide a certain amount of grain according to the covenant. . However, the Roman army also often collected food in enemy-occupied areas, which could serve the purpose of weakening the enemy and strengthening itself.

But now Camilos clearly realizes that these scattered infantry squadrons are likely to be the target of the Dionian cavalry: "Frius, we better prepare the light infantry. Once Dio is found The Niah cavalry went to the north of our camp and attacked our returning soldiers. We immediately sent a light infantry brigade to drive away the enemy and take in the returning boys."

Fryus said disapprovingly: "The Cavalry of Dionia was probably from Selshe, and it is nearly 40 miles from Selshe to us. Even if the Cavalry is more powerful, After traveling such a long distance, it is impossible to have spare energy to harass our soldiers further north."

"We don't know the Dionians, but don't underestimate them! It's always right to prepare in advance." Camillos reminded patiently.

"Well, I'll make arrangements." Frius said with a shrug.

He was about to turn around and leave the account, and the guards hurried in: "Two military and political officers, there are a lot of black cavalry in the south of the barracks!"

Camillos and Frius felt tight, and walked out of the big tent quickly.

In the camp, the news that "the cavalry was attacked by an unknown cavalry" is spreading, causing a commotion among the soldiers. Many people are whispering about the matter. ask.

How could the two of them answer? They quickly came under the wall on the south side of the camp. The walkway on the wall was already full of soldiers. They looked out of the camp curiously and whispered about something.

The two climbed up the guard tower and looked out: a few hundred meters away, there were hundreds of black-armored cavalry lined up in a neatly arranged line, among which several large flags were held high, and the tops of them were exuding dazzling golden light. . They stood quietly, although they only had a hundred rides, they gave people a feeling that they could not be underestimated.

"I heard that the flag of the Dionian army is inlaid with golden statues of their gods. It seems that this is indeed the cavalry of Dionian!" Frius said solemnly.

Camillos didn't speak, his eyes fixed on the few generals in the middle of the Dionian cavalry with brightly colored caps on the tops of their helmets, speculating about the purpose of the Dionian's presence in front of the barracks.

…………………………………

At this moment, Amintas was among the cavalry, and he was carefully observing the layout of the Roman barracks.

"Go ahead." Amintas said, and drove his horse forward, and the cavalry had to keep up.

There was a noise in the Roman camp.

"Leader, you can't go any further!" Adjutant Lala reminded loudly.

"Aristonos, you are the son of Scombras (Although Scombras is the oldest person in the Senate, he often criticizes his opponents fiercely at the meeting. He has been He was nicknamed'Growler'.) and inherited his bravery." Amintas joked in a relaxed manner: "Could it be that after staying in the staff for a period of time, your courage is gone?!"

Plintors next to him listened, but there was no reaction on his face.

Aristonos had no intention of joking, he said anxiously: "Leader, I am worried about your safety!"

"It's still far from the enemy's camp, not to mention that we are all riding horses." Amintas smiled and turned to look aside: "If the enemy's cavalry rushes out, Ryders, your cavalry will protect Me?"

Leides, the commander of the First Cavalry Corps, said seriously: "Based on our previous battles with the Roman cavalry, their cavalry is far from our opponent, so don’t worry, even if they have more cavalry out of the camp. , I can also promise to send you back to the camp safely."

"Haha, I'm just waiting for you! Our cavalry has the upper hand, which is good news!" Amintas laughed while observing the Roman barracks.

It didn’t take long for the smile on his face to disappear. Although the Romans had a great advantage in the battle with the Wolsi, they obviously did not relax their vigilance, and the camp was by no means a hasty construction. What: Luzhai densely arranged under the wall, the trenches surrounding the entire camp, and the towering towers next to the wall, there are one every 20 or 30 meters, and there are also earth and wood walls. Towered so that he could not see the situation inside the camp at all.

In addition to not knowing whether there are traps outside the camp, from the outside, Amintas felt that the defense of the Roman camp should not be underestimated, so he frowned and muttered in a low voice: "This camp is not easy to attack. ."

At this moment, Plintors said sternly, "Legislative Commander, there is one more thing that needs our attention! A short time before we arrived at this camp, it was full of soldiers." Thors pointed to the dense but not messy Roman soldiers on the front wooden wall and reminded Amintas: "This shows that this Roman army is well-trained! If you want to attack their camp before their troops meet , The elimination of this Roman army will be very difficult! The casualties of the First Legion will never be low!"

Amintas was silent for a while, and said: "Then fight with them!"

"Amintas, now that the Romans probably know that our army is coming, do they still dare to go out of the camp to fight with us and the Wolsi?!" Leides reminded euphemistically.

"Give it a try!" Amintas said, feeling that this possibility is not too great, because they have already circled this Roman camp for most of the time, and found that everything is basically the same. There are no obvious defects. Through the observation of the camp, he has a preliminary understanding of the characteristics and style of this Roman army and its generals: this is a cautious, serious and practical army!

Does it really have to be stationed in the camp to defend against the large forces after the Romans converged? ! Amintas was unwilling.

Just as he was about to pull the horse back to the place where the camp was to be built, a scout came from the northwest: "Report to the commander of the Ryders army. Several Roman troops are found in the village of Wolsey in front. For the looting of food, the brigade captain Agomis asked whether he would destroy it? (According to the establishment of the Dionian cavalry, a cavalry regiment consists of 2,000 troops and four brigades, each consisting of 500 men; one brigade governs five A company, one company has one hundred people; and one company has ten teams, one group has ten people.)"

"How many enemies are there?" Leders asked.

"About 200 enemies." The scout replied.

"If there is fat to the point of not eating it, is Agomis stupid?!" Ryders said immediately: "You tell you the captain, try to eliminate them as much as possible!"

"Yes!" The detective rode a horse and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Amintas shouted to him: "Did you only see the 200-odd enemies? Or are there only these 200-odd enemies outside the camp?"

Amintas’ question was a bit convoluted, but the cavalry understood it. He pointed to the northwest and said, "Commander of Armintas, our brigade is in this direction. We haven’t searched elsewhere. ."

Amintas immediately turned his head to look at Leides: "My old friend, I need your help! Send the cavalry behind you to check how many Roman soldiers are looting in this area. Food, and then quickly return it to me!"

"Okay." Ryders did not refuse, he immediately turned around and gave the task to the cavalry.

"Leader Armintas, do you want to use these Roman soldiers to lure their large forces out?" Priintoles' brain reacted quickly, and he roughly guessed what Armintas meant for doing this.

Amintas glanced at him and said excitedly: "We can't do nothing and watch the Romans rendezvous. When the time comes, a large force of 50,000 will come over, and the First Army will be No matter how powerful it is, it can't stop it!"

Under his gaze, Plintors nodded and approved his opinion.

"Aristonos!" Amintas turned around and said to the adjutant: "Send scouts to inform the brothers of the First Army to stop building camps, put on armors, get weapons, and line up. The Roman barracks are marching, waiting for my orders at any time."

"Yes!" Aristonos replied excitedly.

At this time, Ryders had already sent some cavalry. After hearing the order from Amintas, he had to remind him: "The situation is not fully understood yet. Don't make such a big move. , In case there are only more than 200 enemies there, in case the Roman army in the camp will not leave the camp at all, you will not only be busy in vain, but also be complained by the soldiers!"

"They dare!" Amintas stared, and then said firmly: "Wait until everything is figured out, and then prepare, I am afraid it will be too late! I am afraid we only have this chance, it is possible Let the Romans fight with us!"

"I agree with the commander of Armintas, I have to try it. If the final situation is not what we think, the big deal is to let the soldiers stay in Bolivnham tonight, and build the camp tomorrow. "Plintors said, he discovered a characteristic of Amintas: the legionnaire's desire to fight is very strong, not letting go of any small fighter.

He went on to say: "In addition, we also need to warn Bolivnum and the Wolsey troops in Setia in advance. Once the Romans in the camp are really killed, we need to join forces with them to defeat them. ."

"I'm only in charge of fighting the Romans, and you will be responsible for all the other tedious things, how about it?" Amintas asked bluntly.
