Chapter 31: Contradictions

The enemy's flying stones were blocked by round shields, and there was no damage to them, and the warriors were still glad that they had found the right way. After www.biquge.info advanced another ten meters, it was less than fifty meters away from the camp gate.

At this time, the four watchtowers behind the wooden wall on the west side of the mercenaries began to shoot arrows at them, and the arrows pouring from different angles were not so easy to block, and moving the round shield to prevent the bows and arrows from both sides, the head was about to be hit by flying stones, but they were all hedgehogs gathered in the middle, the archers and slingers of the mercenaries could concentrate their firepower, and the arrows and stones attacked from all directions like hailstones, killing and wounding dozens of people in an instant, and the front team of the Vig people was almost empty, so that the rest of the people forgot the lesson of Pixis and fled in all directions, As a result, the mercenary trap made a new consequence, and in a short period of time, the Vig suffered hundreds of casualties.

No matter how Sincinag urged, Sedorum said that he would not attack anything.

The mercenaries were overjoyed to see the enemy fleeing in disarray, but then the enemy stopped attacking, and they were dissatisfied. After all, the main reliance on light infantry companies and traps to repel the enemy's attack was to do so, and they did not even touch a single hair of the enemy, so they began to shout and curse loudly when they were not satisfied......

Seeing this situation, Davers nodded secretly: The military heart is available!

He also did not expect that the enemy's fierce 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 carefully, you can see that 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 hill tribes were lackluster in siege, and after suffering a setback in the face of the well-defended camp of the Davers mercenaries, they naturally calmed down.

Davers analyzed the battle situation and added experience to future defensive operations. At the same time, he sent Asistes to Drachus' camp through the road to inspect the battle.

The news of the return was also gratifying: influenced by the enthusiasm of the soldiers of the expeditionary force to build the camp, Dracos, Adriankos, and Sesta led the soldiers to dig a deeper trench outside the camp and strengthen the wall, although not to lay cumbersome and complex traps (which required a certain amount of technical ability and experience), but it was enough to make the pursuing enemy suffer. After all, the Tarantum reinforcements also retreated into their camp, which helped the defeated mercenaries and quickly regained their morale.

The warriors of Niutum and Laos attacked for a while, suffered some casualties, and when they found that the mercenaries were too well defended to take a single blow, they naturally gave up the attack, and they were clearly smarter than Picosis, who was bent on revenge.

With safety assured, Davers's attention shifted from the battlefield that had calmed down, and he needed to calm down and think: what should the mercenaries do next?

The battle failed, and it may be quite difficult for the Lucarians to capture the city of Turiyi. Davers has visited many times, and the six-meter-wide moat and ten-meter-high walls are already difficult for the Lucanians, who lack siege equipment and siege experience. Moreover, they did not have ships and could not come and go freely on the Klatty River.

The Lucanians were not going to raise their armies for the sake of winning a battle, but to occupy the plains of Sybari and establish camps, graze cattle and sheep, and grow wheat on this flat and fertile land......

The Turii suffered heavy losses in the two battles before and after, and it was clear that they were no longer able to fight back against the Lucanian invasion for the time being, but they still had the plains on the south bank of the Krati River, and they could temporarily forbear, accumulate strength, and recruit soldiers in an attempt to counterattack......

But for the Davers mercenaries on the north bank of the Klatty River, the situation was not so good. The defeat of the battle not only affected his plans for the rest of the day, but the mercenaries also became the target of the Lucanians' next attack, and Davers did not want to become a pawn of the Turiyi, holding them back from the Lucanian attack on the northern shore. But let him lead his army out of here, out of Great Greece, this is unacceptable to him! His newfound hopes, his dreams, his ambitions are here! Davers can't tolerate leaving for nothing, and goes back to fighting for survival! …… What to do? What to do? ……

………………………………

Also worried about what to do is the Lucanian leader Vespa who occupied the city of Amendolara, he did not respond to Grummentum's order after all, sent troops to the battle, and wanted to wait for the results of the battle between the two armies before deciding to stay, so when he learned that the strength of the Lucanian tribal alliance actually exceeded 15,000 people, and easily defeated Turiyi, he panicked, hurriedly summoned several elders to discuss countermeasures, and asked the priest to divinate the good fortune, and the divination result was: there is no danger. This made Weisbah, who had a preliminary countermeasure after a heated discussion, feel a little calm.

He sent an envoy and a small army of warriors to the plains of Sybari with a caravan laden with wine and food, hoping that by this friendly way of rewarding the Lucarian tribal army, he would gain some understanding from the Grand Grumentum chieftain and lay the groundwork for the next confession and begging for mercy, and if the messenger found that the situation was not good, they would have to flee back to the mountains by night.

……………………………

Not reluctant, Sincinag was not reconciled after being defeated, and sent men to reconnoiter the mercenary camp to the east, south, and north, and the results were dismal: not only were there traps, trenches, watchtowers, and deer barricades, but there were also tunnels to the north that connected to the adjacent camps, so that they could be supported at any time.

Then he gave up, withdrew his people, and waited for Akpiru's arrival.

After waiting for a long time, Akpiru arrived with a large army. After all, the 6,000-strong army was scattered to pursue the Turi's rout, and it was not easy to regather these warriors who had risen up.

The Grummentum warriors killed all the routs outside the city of Turii, and even some of the warriors were red-eyed, forced to cross the moat, and came to the city of Turii, only to be angrily attacked by the people of Turii who hated the same enemy on the city wall, and fled back in embarrassment, which made them calm down.

Seeing this, Akpiru also temporarily rested his luck in taking the city of Turii in one fell swoop, and he had to regroup his team and rush to join the other teams. Seeing that most of the Picosis warriors were wounded and mentally decadent, they couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked why.

Sincinag told him how his people fought valiantly, and the mercenaries against him were very vile and cunning...... At the same time, he angrily accused the Vig people of passively slacking off the war, and even killing and injuring the Lucanians in battle.

The great leader of Vig City, Sedorum, did not expect that Sincinag would sue the wicked first, so he was immediately anxious, shouted wronged, and defended with the same grief and indignation: "Grand Leader Akpiru, you must know that it is not that I am unwilling to fight with all my strength, but that the Grand Leader of Sincinag is overconfident, thinking that the bravery of the Picosis warriors alone is enough to defeat the left flank of the Greeks, and the Vig warriors are arranged in the rear, and the right flank is his decision, and I have no choice." On the contrary, when Picosis's front was about to collapse, it was our Vig warriors who attacked bravely and helped Pikosis stabilize the battle and save our right flank, so our Vig warriors made a great contribution to the victory of this battle! As for killing and wounding the Picosis warriors, it was because the rout of Pikosis was disrupting the formation on the right flank, and in order to prevent the rout and force them to fight again, they had to make a choice as a last resort, in fact, not many Pikosis fighters were actually injured. It was with such an urgent approach that the right flank finally repelled the enemy. And during the attack on the camp of the Greeks, our Vig warriors also suffered hundreds of casualties......"

"You talk nonsense! You are talking nonsense! If it weren't for the unwillingness of you Brutis to help in the first place, how could we have fought so hard! Just now, when we attacked the Greek camp, you Vigs were the last to arrive! Sincinag roared angrily: "Gneinat, tell everyone, how many of our warriors have the Vigs killed and wounded?!" ”

Gneinat hesitated for a moment, and under his father's forced gaze, he said in a slur manner: "Approximately...... About a hundred and fifty people, all behind the scenes...... Stabbed with a spear. ”

After Gnainat finished speaking, the Pikosis warriors and the Vig warriors were already glaring angrily, and the atmosphere was quite tense......
