Chapter 39: After the War
"Great Chief, when Akpiru comes back, he will probably go crazy when he sees this kind of scene!" Saru stood at the mountain pass, looking at the still burning camp, with indescribable joy in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"So what! Even the insane Akpiru can still command a large army and take Vig City to the ground! Sedorum said worriedly, complaining that Saru had taken the liberty of attacking Pikosis and forcing him to take action.
"Vig City is not so easy to attack, as long as we build a defense on the mountain road, they will attack upward, it is difficult to say whether they can go to the bottom of Vig City!" Saru also complained: "We shouldn't have succumbed to their threats and joined this damn alliance in the first place!" ”
"Saru, you say it easy! The Laos are very familiar with our terrain, and we have no backup, and we can't afford to fight this battle, so we can't afford to fight this battle! ......" Sedorum told of his frustration.
"Great Chief, don't worry! I don't think the tribal alliance of Lucania will come back! Saru comforted Sedorum with confidence: "Didn't you listen to what the Akpiru guard who told you the news before!" The Lucanians were ambushed, and they even had to come back to call for reinforcements, which shows that the situation is very bad! ”
"Let's hope so." Sedorum sighed and said solemnly, "What we need to do now is to return to Vig City immediately, gather the people to strengthen the defenses, and at the same time send people to Cosenza to ask for their help!" ”
"Ask for help from Cosenza?!" Saru was surprised.
"These days, I've figured it out...... If the Brutis continue to fight each other as before, the Lucanians and Greeks will always oppress us! Sedorum said in a deep voice.
"Yes, we should join forces with Cosenza, like the Lucanian Tribal Alliance." Saru was still young, and his hatred for the other tribes of Bruti was not so deep.
Sedorum didn't speak, thinking about something.
At this time, Saru said excitedly: "Great Chief, since we have made a feud with Lucania, when we pass through Laos, will we take the opportunity to rob it?!" ”
"I think you're dazed! If you don't cherish the lives of your people, are you worthy to be a leader? Is Raos's Avinokis easy to mess with! We can not arouse their suspicion, it is a problem to pass through the lower reaches of the Rao River, and you are still thinking about robbery! ......" Sedorum scolded bitterly, and finally made the excited young leader bow his head. As the team walked for a while, he couldn't help but say again: "I didn't expect that Turiyi, who suffered a big defeat, could still ambush the Lucanian tribal coalition, could it be that they got reinforcements from Tarantum or Klotone again?" ”
Sedorum didn't say anything, but looked back at the smoke billowing sky, and couldn't help but think excitedly: If the Lucanian coalition really suffered heavy losses in the ambush of the Greeks, then the situation in this area will change greatly! How do the Vigs do it? ……
……………………………
Sincinag retreated east with the remnants of his tribesmen, and he had only one thought in his heart: to find Akpiru, lead his army to slaughter the city of Vig, and avenge the dead people!
Halfway through, they met the defeated army of Akpiru.
Akpiru pinned his hopes on returning to the camp as soon as possible, bringing in reinforcements, and reversing the defeat. When he learned from Sincinag that the Vig had rebelled, Picosis had suffered heavy casualties, and the camp had been burned to ashes. Immediately in a hurry, he fainted on the spot.
And Sincinag learned that more than 9,000 soldiers had been ambushed by the Greek army, and their fate was still unknown. Stunned on the spot......
……………………………
The generals of the town hall of Turii were reported in the morning by the sentries on the city walls: a large force was suspected to be moving outside the city.
When the morning fog cleared, the scouts went out to investigate, and soon paid off: there was nothing unusual around the city of Turiyi, but the mercenary camp was almost empty.
The generals were taken aback: last night, Burkos also came back and said that the mercenaries were willing to stay, so the city of Turiyi was busy all night, preparing the materials for these greedy mercenaries, but I didn't expect these untrustworthy mercenaries to escape overnight?!
The generals scolded the mercenaries, and some even offered to send warships to the sea to search for their tracks, and give them a severe blow to induce them to return.
At this time, the scouts who had gone west to investigate returned.
"What?!! The mercenaries joined forces with Tarantum reinforcements to attack the Lucanian coalition?!! Kunograta couldn't believe his ears.
The generals of the town hall all blew up.
Neosis scolded: "Davers is a madman who is trying to destroy Turiy's hope!" ”
"Yes! Having lost the protection of the mercenaries, the city of Turrii will face the attack of the Lucanians alone, what should be done?! Polyxis said worriedly.
Kunograta said decisively: "Send Bulks immediately and persuade the mercenaries to return at all costs!" Turii will not allow them to come nonsense! ”
……………………………
However, in vain, Davers, who had always been kind to him, rejected his request quite forcefully, and sent someone to drive Bulkos, who was still pleading, away, and let him return to the city to wait for news of victory.
"I think Davers is confident in beating Lucani, should we believe him?" Bulkos comforted the generals in this way, but he himself was very skeptical.
His words immediately drew a bitter rebuke from the generals.
Kunograta criticized him for not knowing anyone.
Polyxis, based on the friendship of his friends, did not directly mention him, but complained that the mercenaries were unfamiliar wolves and did not keep their promises.
Nesses angrily accused him of wasting the treasury of money, food, and supplies, and found a group of mercenaries, but to no avail, and threatened to propose and judge him at the council.
……
The generals of Turriy spent the morning complaining, invective, and restless, but they did not have the courage to send out the only two thousand citizen soldiers in the city of Turii to help in the battle.
In the afternoon, the sentries on the walls of Turriy heard the rumbling footsteps again, and the scouts sent out saw the mercenaries returning to their ranks: although they looked in tattered armor and covered in blood, and supported their wounded comrades, they did not have the decadence of the defeat, but were in good spirits, laughing loudly along the way. In the procession, more than a dozen pack carts were loaded with armor and weapons, and there were many slaves who were carrying several sets of armor, shields, guns and helmets, all with their heads held high and proud. At the rear of the procession, hundreds of naked men, escorted by soldiers, staggered obediently towards the mercenary camp, and when they saw their long unkempt hair, they knew that they were not Greeks......
The detectives were beating wildly, and they guessed a possibility! An almost impossible possibility!
At that moment, one of the mercenaries' cavalry galloped towards them, holding his hands high to show that he was unarmed, so as not to scare away the Turii.
The Turian cavalry stood still, and the mercenary cavalry came to them, reined in the reins of their horses, raised their heads, and said proudly: "Our chief of Davos has asked you to tell the generals of Turii that our mercenaries and Tarantum reinforcements have completely annihilated the main force of the Lucanian coalition army on the Great River Beach, and they have been driven out of Turii's territory by us!" ”
"You ...... You guys really beat the Lucanians?!! The Detective asked in disbelief, his voice trembling.
"Of course it's true, do we need to lie!" The mercenary cavalry proudly pointed to the captives in the ranks, and said: "Also, our leader asked me to remind you that the Turiyi people are now full of dead bodies on the great river beach, and I hope you will deal with them quickly, otherwise it will be easy to cause a plague after a long time!" ”
……
Before the scout had reached the city, he waved his hands and shouted excitedly: "Victory! We are victorious!! The Lucanians have been annihilated!! ……”
……
At the town hall, the generals' physical strength was exhausted by a long period of restlessness.
At this time, the cheers outside the house came one after another, and the sound became louder and louder, waking up the sleepy generals.
