Chapter 192: Hibernian's Victory

However, Dionysius was concerned about the safety of his rear, and ordered the Rockrie to guard against the Ligems and forbid any further attacks on Medma. At the same time, the army of Lockri was to help the defenders of Trina assist in the defense of the Dionian army through Knappetia on the plains of Opimia. As a result, the main forces of Lockri were forcibly pinned down by Dionysius in the city of Madema.

Diopantus was aggrieved. But when the news came that "the navy of Syracuse had twice suffered a crushing defeat at Dionia", Diopantos had to be vigilant: because Dionia, who had the advantage at sea, might send his army to the rear of the battlefield through the fleet—Siritin, Hibernian, Trina, Coronia, and even the territory of Lockry, knowing that most of Rockry's soldiers were in Medmar, and a small number of soldiers followed Syracuse's army, and the city was very empty.

At this time, where did he still have the heart to go to the front line to fight, in addition to hoping that the powerful army of Syracuse would defeat the Dionians, oppressing them to be unable to divide their forces to raid the rear, but also paying close attention to the surrounding enemy situation.

Soon, the Sekrian fleet entered Taurina.

Knowing this, Diopantus was even more nervous, but since the port of Medmar was blockaded by Dionian ships, he could only send spies to reconnoiter the enemy's movements on the other side of the Maro River.

On the morning of this day, Diopantos received a report from the spies: there was a suspicion of movement in the port of Taurina.

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, a few hours later, Hibernian's messenger galloped from the north, anxiously telling him that Lijim's army was preparing to attack Hibernian, and hoped that Rockry's army would rush to the rescue immediately!

Diopantus had been prepared for a long time. When the whereabouts of the Lijim and the Dionian fleet were revealed, he relented, leaving 5,000 soldiers to defend Medma, and he led 10,000 soldiers to the north quickly.

By noon, his army had entered Hibernian territory.

Fei Dun did not panic when he knew that the Lockley army was coming. It turned out that after he landed on the coast of Hibernian, he sent cavalry to inform the Dionian army, which had landed on the plain of Opimia yesterday afternoon, that he had not expected to meet the Trina who were preparing to enter the empty city of Trina, and then he knew that the Dionian army had defeated the army of Syracuse in the battle and had entered the city of Siriting.

The Lijim scouts immediately rushed to Siriting to contact the Dionian army, and this led Davers to send Shiros, Antonios, Hieronymus, and Ryders to lead the army to support.

After receiving the good news brought back by the detectives, Fei Dun was not only surprised, but also overjoyed. Therefore, in the face of reinforcements from the Rocklees, he did not panic, but secretly rejoiced.

While he sent his scouts to inform the Ionian reinforcements who were on their way, he set up a position outside the city of Hibernian.

An hour later, Lockley's army arrived outside Hibernian.

Seeing that the Lijim were already in full array, Diopantos was certainly not afraid of his large army, and immediately launched an attack after arranging the formation.

Fei Dun had originally considered using the tactic of luring the enemy, but it was difficult for the Lijim army, which had not conducted several military training in a year, to play such a difficult tactic well. Serious and daring to work hard, he simply chose a real hard encounter, and he was at the forefront of the battle formation.

The Lijims, who were only half the strength of the enemy, were naturally no opponent, and after a period of fighting, they were finally defeated by the onslaught of the enemy on both flanks, and the soldiers lost their armor and fled north.

Diopantos was not going to let these ligim routs go. In fact, during this period of time, he was annoyed by the Lijim army led by Fidun, because the usually squeamish Lijim citizen soldiers were quite resilient under the leadership of Fidun, and even after experiencing a crushing defeat by the Lokrie during the siege of Mademar and retreating to Taurina, the Lijim still crossed the river from time to time to attack and harass.

This was a great opportunity, as the Ligems were trapped in the land between the Hibernian and the Ramato River, with nowhere to escape, and Diopantos could annihilate the trouble in one fell swoop, gain a brilliant victory, and gain prestige for himself.

Therefore, he led his soldiers in pursuit, giving the Lijim no time to escape from Hibernian on their ships by the sea.

Diopantos' idea was good, but unfortunately he and Fitun did not know the same information.

The general of the Syracuse garrison of Trina, having learned of his defeat in the battle the previous night, did not send someone to inform Hibernian that night, and he had intended to do so the next day, but when the ranks were divided, the defending general simply did not send a messenger, because he thought that the troops returning to Hibernian would tell the news to their home state.

Not far after crossing the Ramato, the returning force encountered Ligem's landing force north of the city of Hibernian, and was quickly routed. Fitun sent a small number of soldiers in pursuit of the router, and most of them quickly marched south, besieging the city of Hibernian. However, before that, the Hibernians, who had learned that the Lijim had landed, had sent a messenger to Medma asking for help, so by accident Diopantos did not know the very important news of "Dionya defeated the army of Syracuse", or even if he knew, he would have stepped up his attack, hoping to solve the big trouble of Ligem before the Diodians went south, because of his previous battlefield experience, It would never be believed that the Dionians, who had only ended the battle last night, would arrive in Hibernian in such a short time.

But that's how the "miracle" happened. Receiving Davers's order, Dionia's reinforcements soon set out in whole formation, and halfway through the journey, they received an urgent messenger from Fitun, and after a little discussion with Shiros, Antonios, Hieronymus, and Rydes, a battle plan was formulated. They sent scouts to Trina first, informing Sipros and urging their troops to speed up their march.

From the morning onwards, the Dionian soldiers, who had been marching for most of the day, were a little tired by this time, but the veterans of the First Legion led by example, taking the lead in the serious execution of military orders at the head of the ranks, and hearing that a victory awaited them after arriving at Hibernian, and the nearly 10,000 Bruti recruits immediately took great strides.

By the time the Dionian reinforcements had crossed the Corta River, a tributary of the Ramato River, and entered Hibernian territory from the east, the Lokli had pursued the Lijim and driven them to a narrow area between the coast and the Ramato River.

Although the Dionian fleet was anchored here, the panicked Lijim had no time to get on board, and seeing that they were about to be driven into the sea by the advancing enemy, a thousand Trina soldiers led by Sipros crossed the Ramato River and attacked from the front.

The Lochry people were taken aback, they thought that the defenders of Syracuse were in the city of Trina on the other side of the Ramato River, but they did not expect that it was the Trina people, which caught them off guard.

Although the number of troops was far less than that of the Lockley reinforcements, the Lockley people had already scattered and ran away after a long period of pursuit, and the soldiers could not find the generals, the generals could not manage the troops, not only did they have no formation, but they also had no organization, and they were easily pierced by the attack of the Terry men, and just when Diopantos urgently gathered the scattered soldiers and prepared to deal with this new threat, a deafening shout of "Hades" sounded in the flank and rear of the Lockley army.

More than 15,000 people from the Bruti army led by Shiros, the Bruti army led by Hieronymus, the First Army led by Antonios, and the cavalry legion led by Ryders, with rumbling footsteps, crushed over the flank and rear of the Lokli with a wide front.

Seeing such a terrible scene, the scattered Lockrie were demoralized to the extreme, and before they could engage in battle, they scattered and fled, leaving Shilos with the only task left to pursue, and for the Dionian army, they were the most experienced in pursuing the route.

To the north was the Ramato River, to the west was the sea, to the northeast was the Trina, to the southeast was the great army of Dionia, and the sailors of the Sekrian fleet also disembarked and participated in the pursuit from the southwest, plus they had more than a thousand cavalry, and the Lokli were almost surrounded...... In the end, more than 9,000 people were captured, and less than a thousand escaped from the Diopantos, not including Theopantos, who was unable to escape the pursuit of the Diopantos, who was unable to escape the pursuit of the Diopantos, despite having already thrown away his helmet, and whose dazzling cuirass was specially made to show that he was different from ordinary citizens.

When Shilos and Antonios met Fidun, he was concentrating on cleaning up the wounds of Lijim's wounded soldiers.

Shilos and Antonios looked at each other.

Antonios stepped forward and shouted with a little respect: "General Feidun! ”

Only then did Fei Dun raise his head from his busyness, and when he saw the soldiers wearing purple and red crowns in front of him, he hurriedly wiped his bloodstained hands on the armour of Amazon, told the soldiers next to him to continue processing, and then quickly stood up and praised loudly: "Dionian generals, you have come too timely!" In this battle, you have completely defeated the main force of the Lokry! ”

"No, General Feidun, you're wrong." Antonios' words stunned Fitun for a moment, and then he said: "This is a victory won by the joint efforts of Dionia, Lijim, and Trina!" It is a glorious victory for our Southern Italian Alliance! ”

Fei Dun smiled: "You are right! The victory lightened the pressure and brightened his mood.
