Chapter 87: contradiction

The enemy's flying stones were blocked by the round shield, which did not kill them. The soldiers were still fortunate to have found the right way. After advancing another ten meters, it was already less than fifty meters away from the camp gate.

At this time, the four outposts behind the wooden wall on the west side of the mercenary began to shoot arrows at them. The arrows pouring from different angles were not so easy to block, and the round shields were moved to prevent the bows and arrows from both sides. They are about to be hit by flying stones, but they are all concentrated in the middle. The archers and slingers of the mercenary army can concentrate their firepower. The arrows and flying stones attack from all directions like hailstones, killing dozens of people in an instant. The front team of the Vig people It was almost empty, scaring the rest of the people to forget the lessons of Pixis, and fled in all directions. As a result, the trap of the mercenaries made new achievements, and the Vigos suffered hundreds of casualties in a short period of time.

No matter how urged by Cincinnagar, Sedorum said nothing and did not attack.

The mercenaries were overjoyed to see the enemy flee in embarrassment, but then they were dissatisfied when the enemy stopped attacking. After all, repelling the enemy's attack mainly relies on light infantry companies and traps. They didn't even touch the enemy's hair, so they began to shout and curse when they were not satisfied...

Seeing this situation, Davos nodded secretly: Military heart is available!

He also did not expect that the enemy's aggressive and aggressive attack would not even break through the trench in front of the camp, and it would come to an abrupt end so quickly. If you think about it again, you will understand: after the previous war, the Lucanians have consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, and it is estimated that they can continue to maintain a strong desire to attack under the stimulation of victory and revenge. In fact, these mountain tribes were not very good at siege, and naturally calmed down after suffering setbacks in front of the fortified camp of Davos mercenaries.

Davos analyzed the battle situation and added experience for future defensive operations. At the same time, he sent Asistus through the corridor to rush to Drakes and their camp to observe the situation of the battle.

The news of the return is also gratifying: due to the enthusiasm of the expeditionary soldiers to build the camp, Drakes, Adrianx, and Cesta led the soldiers to dig deeper trenches outside the camp and reinforce them. After the wall was installed, although there were no cumbersome and complicated traps (which required certain technical skills and experience), it was enough to make the chasing enemies suffer. After all, the Tarantum reinforcements also retreated into their camp, which helped the defeated mercenaries and restored their morale quickly.

The warriors of Niutum and Laos attacked for a while, and after suffering some casualties, they found that the mercenaries were so well-defended that they could not go down in one go, so they naturally gave up the attack. Cosice is smart.

After the security was guaranteed, Davos no longer paid attention to the battlefield that had gradually calmed down. He needed to calm down and think: what should the mercenaries do next

The battle failed, and it would be very difficult for the Lucarians to capture the city of Turii. Davos has inspected it many times. The six-meter-wide moat and the ten-meter-high city wall are already difficult for the Lucanians who lack siege equipment and experience in siege. Besides, they don't have boats yet, so they can't come and go freely on the Klaty River.

The Lucanians will never move their troops just to win a battle. Their purpose should be to occupy the plain of Subari, establish camps, herd cattle and sheep, and grow wheat on this flat and fertile land...

The Turians suffered huge losses in the two battles before and after, and obviously they were temporarily unable to fight back against the invasion of the Lucanians, but they still had the plains on the south bank of the Krati River. Counterattack...

But for the Davos mercenaries on the north bank of the Craty River, the situation was not so good. The failure of the battle not only affected his next plan, but also the mercenaries became the key targets of the Lucanians. At the same time, Davos was unwilling to become a chess piece of a Turii, to contain them on the north shore. Attack of the Lucanians. But let him lead the army out of here and leave Great Greece, this is unacceptable to him! His nascent hopes, his dreams, his ambitions are all here! Davos couldn't bear to leave without accomplishing anything, and went to bloody fight for survival again! … What should I do? What should I do? …

… … … … …

Also worried about what to do is the leader of Lucania, Vespa, who occupied the city of Amendolara. With a fluke, he did not respond to Grummentum's order, sent troops to fight, and wanted to wait for the two armies. After the battle, he decided to stay or stay, so when he learned that the Lucania tribal coalition had more than 15,000 troops and easily defeated Turii, he panicked and hurriedly summoned a few elders to discuss Countermeasures, and asked the priest to divination for good and bad, the divination result was: there is no danger. This made Vesbah feel a little calmer after intense discussions and preliminary countermeasures.

He sent messengers and a small team of soldiers to drive a pack full of wine and food to the plains of Sybari, hoping that the friendly way of rewarding the allied forces of the Lucaria tribes would get a little understanding from the chief of Grummentum. , to lay some foundations for the next plea for mercy, if the messenger finds that the situation is not good, then they can only flee back to the mountains at night.

… … … … …

After the defeat, Cincinnagar was still not reconciled, and sent people to investigate the east, south, and north sides of the mercenary camp. The results were depressing: not only were there traps, trenches, sentries, and deer villages, but there were also The corridor is connected to the camp next to it, and support can be obtained at any time.

Then he gave up and withdrew his clan, waiting for the arrival of Akpiru.

After waiting for a long time, Akpiru led the army to arrive slowly. After all, the 6,000-strong army was scattered to pursue the defeated Tulii troops, and it was not easy to regroup these warriors who had been killed.

The soldiers of Grumentum killed all the rout soldiers outside the city of Turii, and even some soldiers were red-eyed, forced to cross the moat and came to the bottom of the city of Turii, only to be met by the people of Turii who were the same enemy on the city wall. Angrily hit with arrows, javelins, and stones, and fled back in embarrassment, which made them calm down.

Seeing this situation, Acpiru temporarily took a break from the fluke of winning the city of Turii, so he had to regroup and rush to join the other teams. It can be seen that most of the Picocis warriors are injured and their spirits are decadent. They can't help but be surprised and ask why.

Cincinnagar told him how his people fought bravely, and the mercenaries they fought against were very despicable and cunning... and so on. At the same time, he complained bitterly and indignantly that the Vig people were negligent and even killed the Lucanians in battle. act.

Sedorum, the chief of Vig City, did not expect that the wicked would sue first, so he was in a hurry, shouting injustice, and also defended with grief and indignation: "Chief Akpiru, you must know that it is not me who is unwilling to do my best. In the battle, the chief of Cincinnag was overconfident, thinking that the heroic valor of the Picosses alone was enough to defeat the Greeks' left flank, and arranged the Vig warriors in the back. He called the right flank, and neither did I. Way. On the contrary, when the front line of Picocis was about to collapse, it was our Vig warriors who fought bravely to help Picocis stabilize the battle and save our right flank, so we Vig warriors fought for this battle. The victory of the battle made a great contribution! As for the killing of the Picosses, it was because the rout of the Picosses was chasing the formation of the right flank. The choice made, in fact, not many Picosses were really injured. It was such an urgent measure that the right flank finally repelled the enemy. And when we attacked the Greek camp, we Vig warriors were also killed and wounded. Hundreds of people…”

"You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! If it wasn't for the fact that you Brutians were not willing to help at first, how could we have fought so hard! Just now, when we attacked the Greek camp, you Vigos were the last to arrive!" Cincinnagar roared angrily: "Gneinart, tell everyone, how many soldiers did the Vigo kill us?!"

Geninat hesitated for a moment, and under his father's gaze, he hesitantly said: "About... about one hundred and fifty people, all of them behind... were stabbed by spears."

After Gnainat finished speaking, the Picosses warriors and the Vig warriors were already glaring at each other, and the atmosphere was quite tense...
