Chapter 0714: Divine Thunder Falling from the Sky
January 16, on the east bank of the Nile Delta.
The 1st and 2nd Gothic hoplites of the Gelon family, the 6th and 7th crossbow cavalry of the Gelon Kingdom, and four legions rushed to the Silesian region in the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea and the city of Tassos in the west of the Taurus Mountains.
The fifteen regular hoplites of the Eastern Roman Kingdom came to the aid of mainly cities along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and the island of Cyprus, in other words, the region was weak.
The front of the Gelon army could advance directly to Anatolia, where they could intercept and harass reinforcements, while the rear army could gradually occupy the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea of the Eastern Roman Kingdom.
The reason why there are only four legions is to take into account the aquatic plants along the way.
The 1st and 2nd Ballistae Regiments of the Grons went to the city of Petra with the 2nd Engineer Regiment, and the 3rd and 4th Ballista Regiments of the Gelon families went to the port of Caesarea with the 3rd Engineer Regiment.
The five crossbow cavalry legions that slaughtered on a large scale, the fifth legion of the Gelong Kingdom and the fifth to eighth legions of the Gelong family, let them go to the Cyrene region, use their killing momentum to deter the tribes, and then return to West Africa.
They needed women, but the local customs industry was not rectified.
The Kingdom of Gelong did not ban the custom industry, as long as it was voluntarily entered the industry, it was not a debt type or a persecution type, it was simply willing to sell itself in exchange for money to spend.
Individuals report monthly to the infirmary of Aphrodite's Temple, and if organized, the amount of the draw is separately announced.
The buyer and the seller are willing to do so, the buyer consumes normally, and the seller holds the health iron plate of the medical hall.
Under normal circumstances, the buyer has a physical problem, the first responsible person is in the seller, and under abnormal circumstances, the buyer can only consider himself unlucky, who told you to find an unlicensed person. ......
January 17, dawn, off the coast of the Cyrene region.
The Eastern Romans took advantage of their great maritime transport capacity and brought seven legions over to the city outside the city of Port Antebrugas.
The port city is located in the eastern part of the Cyrene region, nearly 200 kilometers from the junction of the Eguptos region and nearly 400 kilometers from the heart of the Cyrene region.
On the 14th, they began to load and set off one after another, spanning nearly 800 kilometers in more than 60 hours, which was considered fast.
The army was assembled at sea one after another, and they discussed whether to rest for a day and stay overnight before landing, or whether to force the landing now.
In the end, it was decided to force the landing, because of the strange wind and strange currents, nine times out of ten, His Highness Zeus intervened, and then His Highness Poseidon also intervened.
And if things change, and it's in an unfavorable direction, His Highness Zeus won't interfere.
In other words, the Gelong army saw that they were empty at sea and gathered a large army to attack the city.
They did not expect that the siege was over.
When hundreds of ships rushed to the shore in Eastern Rome, they naturally couldn't hide the patrols of the Gelong Kingdom, and Eastern Rome didn't want to hide it.
Now it is necessary to go ashore before the Gelong Kingdom reacts and assembles to defend, and then the seven legions plus the naval army can definitely occupy the Cyrene region, cut off the reinforcements of the Gelong Kingdom, and make the Gelong Kingdom army in the Aeguptos region retreat.
However, they didn't expect that the reinforcements of the seven legions of the Gelong Kingdom were nearby, the second crossbow cavalry corps of the Gelong Kingdom was fifty kilometers east of them, the eighth legion of the Gelong Kingdom was in front of them, and the tenth legion of the Gelong Kingdom, a light infantry corps with horses and crossbows was fifty kilometers to the west of them.
Fifty kilometers is only half an hour for two horses, and they are equivalent to getting close to the encirclement. ......
In the realm of the gods, Zeus's dormitory.
Zeus was so angry that he kicked over the water mirror, he had really seen stupidity, but he had never seen such stupidity.
Heraganer, the child's temper of her husband, is always so interesting, because he is the supreme Zeus.
Zeus greeted Athena with divine power and asked her to come along.
Hetu stretched out a finger and picked Zeus's chin, "You need to be so angry." ”
Zeus turned his head, "Hmph, I'm not going to lose to a kid." ”
Hera laughed wildly, "That's a joke when it gets out." ”
"Looks like I haven't taught you enough lessons. Zeus pounced, threw Hera down on the bed, and with her smirk, began a marital morning exercise with her.
About half an hour later, Athena arrived, sensed what was going on in the palace, did not go in to disturb her, and sat down in the garden by herself.
With a wave of his hand, a water mirror appeared, revealing the battle in the Cyrene region.
At this time, the ships of the Eastern Roman army had just rushed to the beach, and they jumped from the boats, many empty-handed.
The Eighth Legion of the Kingdom of Gelong, which was one step ahead of them, stepped out, armed with alloy crossbows, and surrounded them in a straggler.
The Eastern Roman army was dumbfounded, and this was too unlucky
However, the Eighth Legion of the Kingdom of Gelong did not immediately move and read the "Gelong Declaration" to them, forcing them to surrender.
Only then did the Eastern Roman army have time to take a closer look, and they were slightly relieved to find that the formation of the Gelong Kingdom was not thick.
At this time, a large number of hooves were heard, and another troops arrived.
Watching the two troops arrive, one dismounted and hid behind the hoplites, holding a crossbow against them.
The other unit rode on horseback and pressed into formation, also armed with a crossbow.
The morale of the Eastern Roman army plummeted, and the motley mercenaries of the four legions immediately surrendered, and the merchant sailors followed suit, and the sailors hesitated and surrendered.
The boats are all on the beach, and if you want to move into the sea, you have to see if the other party allows it.
The three hoplites had no choice but to surrender, they were now poorly equipped and not in good combat strength. ......
In the Divine Domain, Athena took the water mirror and waited for a while before seeing Zeus come out.
Athena stood up and saluted, "Father." ”
"Sit. Zeus asked the goddess of wisdom how he could defeat the kingdom of Geron.
Athena said, "My father, if God does not intervene, no country on earth can defeat the kingdom of Gelong. ”
"What did you say?" Zeus was surprised.
"Their military power is secondary, and the main thing is the laws they enforce. "This is their law, which is not only based on the laws of the Roman Republic, but also incorporates the fundamental problems of the human age, the slaves who want to be free, the commoners who want to get rid of taxes." ”
"The Kingdom of Gelong now occupies the southern shore of the Mediterranean, which is all granary, and it is foreseeable that over time, the gap between the Kingdom of Gelong and other countries in terms of population will become more and more obvious. ”
Moreover, due to the different laws, more and more people will flee to the Kingdom of Gelong, and those who have not escaped and those who cannot escape will also yearn for the Kingdom of Gelong. ”
"The battle between these countries and the Kingdom of Gelong will be one-sided, and it can be said that they will fall to the wind. ”
"The kingdom of Gelong will grow stronger and stronger, and perhaps eventually unify the whole world. ”
Zeus pondered for a moment, "Well, everything comes from order. ”
Athena said, "So to speak. ”
Zeus waved his hand and said, "Okay, I see, you can go." ”
Athena hesitated, "Father, the gods were dissatisfied with your previous meddling in human affairs. ”
Zeus exclaimed, "I don't need you to tell me. ”
Athena said, "You are the founder of the order of the gods, and you have destroyed the order you have set yourself, father, and that is not the work of a wise man. ”
"Get out!" Zeus roared, and with a snap of his hand, a thunderbolt slammed into Yamazaki.
Athena did not speak, saluted and stepped back. ......
