"The Ionians are coming! Reinforcements from Dioonia are coming!! ......" The same shouts were the archers on the outposts in the camp, but they made a cheerful voice: "Our reinforcements are coming!" Our reinforcements are coming!! ……”

It's finally here! Alexis sighed when he heard the news.

When the soldiers heard the shouts, their morale was shaken, and their tired bodies seemed to be refilled, and they shouted in unison to drive out the enemy who had broken into the camp......

And Torek, who heard the shouting, still didn't want to believe it, when he turned around and saw the Dionian army rushing wildly, and any stragglers were swallowed up by it in an instant, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and he staggered and fell to the ground, with only one thought in his heart: "It's over!" Fall for the conspiracy of the Dionians! ”

Although the equally exhausted warriors of Samonai, who had been trapped in a bitter struggle for a long time, saw the menacing Dionian legionnaires attacking from behind, although they panicked, most of the warriors did not turn and flee, but picked up their spears and turned to resist the enemy's surprise attack, killing the red eyes with only one thought in their hearts: fight!

However, the arrival of a steady stream of fresh troops, as well as the flanking attacks in front and behind, made the resistance of the Samonai warriors futile, and instead affected their timely escape from the encirclement.

As the Samonai continued to fall, the remaining warriors finally lost their fighting spirit and began to flee...... Some of the fighters were already exhausted and simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered...... Therefore, after the battle lasted for a while, it was basically over, and all that remained was to pursue the router.

……………………………

The soldiers of the 3rd Regiment in the Dionian camp were either collecting the bodies of their comrades, receiving treatment from the medical camp, or resting on the ground against the earthen wall......

The corps commander Alexis listened to the adjutant report on the casualties of the corps with a solemn face: "According to the preliminary statistics of the medical battalion, our corps suffered 412 casualties, 251 seriously wounded, and 537 lightly wounded, with a total of 1,200 casualties......"

1200 people! Alexis clenched his fists with some emotion: accounting for 15% of the main force of the legion, this casualty is a bit big!

Seeing the corps commander's pained expression, the adjutant hurriedly comforted him and said, "This is also a matter of no choice. We were faced with a fierce Samonai who were about three times as large as us......"

Alexis sighed and did not speak.

At this time, the originally quiet camp suddenly boiled.

Alexis saw Davers enter the camp with his escort, and as he walked towards the center, he talked and expressed his condolences to the soldiers he met.

Alexis hurriedly greeted him.

Before he could get closer, Davers caught up with him and gave him a very powerful hug: "Well done, Captain Alexis!" ”

This sentence made most of the embarrassment, grievances and dissatisfaction in Alexis's heart dissipate at once. He stood up and saluted, and replied forcefully: "Report to the Supreme Commander, the Third Army has completed its combat mission and is resting. ”

"It's not just the completion of the combat mission!" Davers looked around at the soldiers who were quickly crowding over, his face covered with dust and blood was full of exhaustion, and he emotionally slammed his clenched right fist to his left chest: "Brothers of the Third Legion! You have held on to your solitary camp, fought three times as many enemies as you, and made great sacrifices and contributions to the final annihilation of the Samonai people throughout the battle! You saved Pothenia! Relieved of the danger of our Lucanian territory being invaded! Changed the tide of the war in the entire north of Dionia! Not only do I want to thank you, but the entire population of Dionia! You are the heroes of Dionia, and you will be remembered in the temple of Hades in Turiyi! Wan Sheng, Third Legion! ”

Davers's affectionate words reached the ears of every soldier, whether it was a Lucanian or a Greek, and they were moved to tears.

"Wan Sheng, the !! of the Third Legion"

"Hooray, Davers !!"

"Wan Sheng, Dionian !!"

……

The sound of cheers resounded over the camp, and the captured Samonai warriors heard the sound with indescribable pain and frustration on their faces......

In this battle, Davos surrounded the point and sent reinforcements, using the Third Army as a bait, attracting 26,700 Samonai soldiers to besiege him. Taking advantage of the fatigue of the veterans of his division, he secretly mobilized more than two corps to encircle and annihilate him...... Tens of thousands of Samonai warriors were captured, causing more than 7,000 casualties, and only nearly 3,000 fled into the mountains. At the same time, he easily recaptured the city of Poseidonia, and obtained a large number of supplies and supplies that had been piled up in the city and had not yet been transferred to the camp of Pothenia Samonai, which can be said to be a complete victory.

……………………………

And on this day, the army of Syracuse, which had broken through to the north bank of the Ramato, was still standing still. They built a rudimentary camp at the confluence of the Ramato and Corta rivers, and built a pontoon bridge over the Corta River with dozens of clippers, so that the baggage and supplies brought from Hibernian could be smoothly transported to the Syracuse camp, and the soldiers were finally fed.

To the west of the Syracuse camp, on the Tyrrhenian Sea, the people of Trina are in constant panic. On the one hand, they sent a large number of scouts to keep a close eye on the Syracuse camp; While sending envoys to the Sirites, he maintained contact with Knappetia.

In Siriting, even as the number of troops arriving in Crotone increased to 17,000, bringing the strength of the coalition forces in Siliton to 30,000, the population remained uneasy. The large camp of Siracuse could not last more than 30 miles from the city of Siliting, and a few hours of marching could reach the city, and now all the people of Silitin have abandoned their homes outside the city and fled into the city with their families.

For Crotone's full support, the Cilitin high-level leaders led by Pretinis are not to blame anything, but for the pressure of the Syracuse army, the disadvantaged Crotone-Siriting coalition army has nothing to do, the only thing they can do is to send scouts to the south every once in a while to understand the itinerary of the Dionian legion.

………………………………

The 4th and 5th Ionian Legions began to pull out their camp early in the morning of that day, and in order to prevent the Syracuse from taking advantage of this abandoned camp, they not only removed the tents, uprooted the wooden fences, but also demolished the earthen ramparts and filled in the trenches.

Last night, when Philicius informed the Coronians that "the Dionian army had to prepare to retreat", Pretinis did their best to keep the reinforcements that could protect Corennia, even though they knew that the matter was irreparable.

Pherisius could only bear to refuse their request.

But as they left today, almost all the people of Coronia came out to see off the Dionian army, not only helping the soldiers to pull out the camp, but also carrying freshly heated bread, porridge, and syrup, hoping that the soldiers would have a full meal before they marched.

Many of the Dionian soldiers were so moved by Coronia's affection and poignant words of redemption that they were forced to go north because of the military order, but the words of comfort to the people of Coronya were roughly the same: "Don't worry! As long as you hold on to the city of Coronya, we will join forces with the other allies and soon defeat the Syracuse army, and then we will come to your rescue! ”

Phellisius said the same thing to Frynires, but more tactfully.

Fryniris didn't seem to hear the uncertainty in Phelicios's words, and he said with a resolute expression: "We Coronia have been besieged by Lokley too many times, and there is no one better at defending the city in Great Greece than us, and we will hold out until you return, and I know that the Dioonians are keeping their word!" ”

Pretinis' words made Felicius feel a little more stressed.

Towards dusk, the 4th and 5th Corps finally arrived at Siritin, and it was at this time that the combined forces of Syracuse-Lokri led by Fatipezas surrounded the city of Coronnia.

………………………………

In the evening, at the headquarters of the Silitine Southern Italian Alliance, the commander of the southern front of Dionia, Pherisius, the senate envoy Ansitanos, the general of the Crotone army, the chief general of the Siritines, the chief general of the Siritines, the general of the Siritian army, Acerisias, and the trinate envoy Athopias, sat around a large wooden table, on which a map of the Otemian plain was placed.

Athesias stood up, holding a stick in his hand, and gave an explanation of the current situation to all of you: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to what we have detected, the army of Syracuse is encamped at the confluence of the Ramato and Corta rivers. ”

Athesias tapped the marker on the map with his stick: "This is the edge of the plain of Opemia, to the west, only 15 miles from Trina—"

"It should be only 13.9 miles to be exact!" Asopiath emphasized.

"Ahem...... The situation in the west, Lord Asopias, of course, is much clearer than we are. Acercias corrected with a little embarrassment: "The Syracuse camp is 13.9 miles from Trina, and the terrain is flat, but you need to cross the Ramato River, which cannot be crossed, which is a big trouble for the people of Syracuse-"

"The Syracuse Navy has already occupied the Ramato River, and it will be easy to send a large army across the Ramato!" Asopiath emphasized again.

Athesias was a little angry: "Lord Athopias, you like to interrupt others so much, why don't you explain it to everyone!" ”

Asopiath shook his head and said: "I'm just adding to the situation you introduced, didn't you just say, 'We Trina people know more about the situation in the west than you', so that all the adults here can have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the situation on the entire battlefield, which is conducive to us to formulate a more reasonable response plan for the next step." Because this war is no longer a matter of Siriting or Trina, but a crisis that the entire South Italian Alliance needs to face together! ”

"Lord Asopiath is right! Don't be in a hurry, Aceris, speak slowly, in more detail. Pretini came out to play a round for the two.

"Yes, the flames of war have burned on our territory, and everyone is a little anxious, but the more this is the case, the more calm we should be to be able to defeat a strong enemy." Ansitanos also said comfortingly.
