The Gauls do not have a navy, and they cannot take advantage of their large numbers when attacking from land, and they have never been able to capture them. On the contrary, due to the hurried arrival from Florentia, the food he carried was almost exhausted.

So, the Gauls sent tribes to nearby villages to collect food. At this time, shortly after the autumn harvest, the Etruscans had sufficient food in their homes. However, due to the menacing Gauls, most of the Etruscans fled in haste and there was no time to carry food, so they scraped food everywhere. The Gaul tribe fighters in Tibet have gained a lot and soon alleviated the problem of tight munitions.

Although there is no need to worry about the rations, the leaders of Gaul have realized that Fofruna is not Florentia, and it is more difficult to capture it in a short time, so there is a "first ignore it." , Turn to the idea of ​​attacking elsewhere".

But just as they had just reached an agreement, the Allied Forces of Northern Dionia appeared.

This time Patroclus did not adopt a conservative strategy-build the camp first, but began to line up directly one mile away from the Gaul camp.

According to Patroclus’ observations during this period, it is believed that the Gauls are sturdy and brave, and they are very likely to come out to fight.

Sure enough, even though some Gauls have not returned to the camp because they went out to collect food and grass, the leader still decided to lead the Gaul fighters with less than 30,000 people out of the camp to fight.

Patroclus also learned from the outpost that some Gaul fighters were collecting food and grass in nearby villages and towns. He immediately sent a small number of allied troops to attack and prevent the return of these Gauls. At the same time He also lined up all the light infantry under his command and launched a long-range attack on the Gaul army while it was in line.

More than half of the Gaul warriors are wearing straight pants and singles, and some even shirtless. Apart from the wooden shield in their hands, there is no other defense. There are more than 4,000 light infantrymen in the Dionian Allied Forces, among which the 2,000 light infantry of the Dionian Legion, as the main force, are well-trained. Under their leadership, the arrows and javelins fired are like the Alps. The hailstones were as terrible as the hail, which caused a lot of damage to the Gaul army, and forced the Gaul soldiers to ignore the lineup and kill the enemy one after another.

The Gauls swarmed forward, and the coalition light infantry hurriedly retreated. When they quickly withdrew from the gap of the chessboard, the Gauls suddenly found a long and thick "iron wall" in front of them. , The enemies behind the wall shouted in unison, and the javelin once again enveloped the Gaul like a dark cloud.

In the constant screams, the Gauls roared, brandished their big swords, and slashed fiercely at the enemy hiding behind the long shield.

Then they found that their sharp swords were not enough to split the enemy’s thick long shield, and they were not enough to cut off the enemy’s strong lance, even if they could sometimes break the long shield and slash the enemy’s body, if they were used It is not strong enough or accurate enough to cause fatal damage to enemies wearing neck guards, iron helmets, and double-layer chain armor. The enemy on the opposite side will quickly draw a stab of a short sword from his waist, which may cause the strong Gaul to lose combat effectiveness.

At this time, the Gaul realized that they were no longer the Romans who were fighting against them. They would not be wearing simple equipment and holding copper spears. They attacked them in a swarm, and then After suffering a setback, it will quickly collapse.

They are now facing terrible enemies armed from head to toe. They are well-equipped and well-trained. Not only are they cooperating with each other, each soldier will rely on the overall strength to fight, and their personal combat skills are equally excellent. Most of the stabbing guns and short swords that were pierced were accurately aimed at the fragile faces, necks, abdomen, and legs of the Gauls. Even the Gaul warriors didn't have much protection up and down.

What's more, the number of Gaul fighters is less than that of the Dionian coalition forces. This is not a reciprocal battle at all. As long as the main Dionian soldiers (mostly Romans and Latins) can eliminate the terrible shadow that Gauls have created in their hearts for more than a decade, they can wield big swords and slash at the opponent. Fighting calmly and calmly under the hideous face, winning in such a frontal battle is beyond doubt.

Before, Patroclus first commanded the army to win victory in the defensive camp, and then led the army to raid the Gaul camp in the early morning, and then made extraordinary achievements. The coalition soldiers gained confidence from it. Now the morale of Dionia In the face of the former nightmare, the soldiers not only did not fear, but also eager to obtain military merits in order to obtain the rewards of the kingdom.

Within less than an hour of fierce fighting, the Gauls were in decline. Patroclus took the opportunity to order some of the allied troops on standby to attack the Gaul's two wings.

Fighting to noon, the Gauls were defeated, and the coalition led by Patroclus won another big victory.

The news spread back to Rome and the surrounding areas. The people cheered and even organized a procession by themselves to sing and dance around the city. Finally, they climbed to the Capitoline Hill and presented strong black cattle to the Temple of Hades and the Temple of Diana. Sheep, worship the two great gods sincerely, and thank them for their blessing to the people.

Such a similar scene also happened in the Latin city-states and the southern Etruscan city-states. The haze caused by the Gauls invading them more than ten years ago was finally in the series of brilliant victories created by the Dionian coalition forces. Was blown away.

After reading the report from the front, Asistes couldn't help but sigh: It's really awesome! Your majesty knows people!

At the king's residence in Turriy, Cynthia sat alone in the inner courtyard, her expression slightly depressed.

In a short while, I saw a six or seven-year-old boy leading a three- or four-year-old boy out of the living room,

"Palmiras, run slower, be careful! Don't fall your brother!"

"Grandma, don't worry, I will take care of my brother!"

"Tell you not to run, you still took your brother to run out, how can you rest assured!" Kristia rebuked, at this moment, she does not have the demeanor of the leader of the chamber of commerce who usually kills and decisively. , Is the image of a traditional Greek noble lady who is happy and raising her grandchildren and talking: "Chris, come here soon, grandma!"

"I don't! I want to play with my brother!" The little boy grabbed Palpilas's hand and shouted stubbornly.

Christoya's eyes widened and she was about to get angry.

"Sister, you can rest assured to let Chris play with Palpiras. There will be servants staring at it, and nothing will happen." Aegness also stepped out the door, right Kristonia said relievedly.

Christoya didn’t sell the account, and said with a sullen face: “Let’s go to the zoo, not to the playground or the market in the city. Those beasts don’t care who we are, in case we bite or hurt. , It’s not a joke! At that time, his mother will have something to say, “I said long ago that Chris shouldn’t let Chris leave his parents at such a young age, now something is wrong!”... Then, maybe She has a reason to bring Chris back to Rome!"

Speaking, she took another two steps forward, bent down, stretched out her hands and said: "Chris, come here soon, grandma."

"I don't!" The little boy was rather stubborn.

"Palmiras, you take your brother, and follow your grandmother, don't run around casually, can you hear me!" Cynthia stood up and said to her son in a majestic tone.

"Got it, mother." Palpilas quickly responded, taking Chris' hand, and obediently returning to Kristia.

Christoya hurriedly grabbed one in one hand, and after holding the hands of the two children, did she relax, scanned her surroundings, and asked, "Where is Eunice?"

Molina, the head of internal affairs who stood by, responded immediately: "Princess Eunice followed Princess Ivia to the zoo first in the morning."

"Grandma, let's go find my sister!" Chris shook Kristia's hand vigorously, urging in a shrill voice.

Christoya frowned, bent down, and said seriously: "Chris, grandma told you many times, you must remember! Eunice and Ivia are your father’s sisters. You should call them aunts, otherwise they will be laughed at by others! Remember, call them aunts!"

"...Aunt...Aunt..."

"That's right, I'll just call them when I see them in the future. If I call them wrong again..." Kristia deliberately raised her face: "Grandma is going to spank you."

"Chris likes grandma, and grandma likes Chris too, grandma doesn't know how to fight." Chris said, and clasped Kristia's thigh tightly with his small hands.

"You clever little guy." A smile appeared on Christia's face: "Well, grandma won't fight, but you can't call it wrong."

Chris nodded vigorously.

Christoja gently twisted his little face lovingly, turned her head and said to Agnes: "It seems that Avia really likes animals. She is a child who is always introverted. Niss forced her to do this and that, it's rare to be so proactive this time!"

Aggnese smiled and said, "She really likes animals, but it is mainly because her father tells her,'When she becomes an adult, let her manage the zoo,' so now she only has time when she is free. I ran to the zoo, saying that I wanted to learn more about the animals'...habits?"

Christoya smiled and said, "I see, Ivia is like you at this point. You usually don’t care about anything other than the Temple of Hera, but since the construction of the zoo , You have called sick many times, instead of going to the Temple of Hera, you ran to the zoo."

Agnes smirked: "Except for celebrations, the temple is usually managed by priests. The chief priest does not need to go every day, just like Plycinus."

"Hehe, that's what I told you before, but how do you answer,'I am the priest of Hera, so I should serve her every day...'" Kristia imitated Agni Silk said pretentiously.
