Hearing only a few "booms", Antonios felt a few pieces of rubble jump on his legs, faintly painful, and he shouted with concern: "Everyone is okay, right?!" ”

Just as the guards were reporting their safety, the light infantry, who were also on the rooftop, were in charge of attacking the enemy from a distance, but they exclaimed: "Captain! Captain! Wake up! ……”

Captain?!Antonios was shocked.

Zpit, who had been directing the light infantry to dodge, was hit in the head by a large stone that splashed against the wall with a stone projectile, and fell to the ground instantly.

As a comrade-in-arms of the Persian expeditionary force and a colleague of the Senate, Antonios usually had a good relationship with Zpit, but seeing him unconscious at this moment, his heart was both worried and angry, and he beckoned the guards to call the medical battalion at the same time, and gave a categorical order: "Blow the trumpet of attack, don't let the enemy escape!" ”

"Woo! ......"At the same time as the Trumpet of the Dionian Army sounded, the trumpet of the retreat of the Syracuse coalition army also sounded.

It's not that Macias doesn't want to lead his troops back more safely and securely, it's that the situation is out of control. Seeing that the situation was not good, some Syracuse soldiers had already begun to flee with the Allied troops, and the encirclement of the entire army was already scattered, and if they did not take decisive action, it was likely that the enemy would surround the troops that remained in place and held out, so he issued an order to retreat, preferring to let the soldiers flee like scattered sand than to be captured by the enemy's entire team.

The sound of the retreat woke Antonios from grief, and he said to the light infantry in a loud and angry voice: "Brothers, don't patronize your grief, the time has come to avenge Lord Zpitt!" Catch up with those fleeing enemies and kill them! ”

The light infantry roared and immediately ran downstairs to join their fellow legionnaires, and quickly joined in the pursuit. These light infantry were relatively physical in the First Legion, and with no heavy helmets or heavy armor, the speed of their pursuit would cause great problems for the retreating enemy, Antonios was convinced.

Since the Syracuse coalition surrounded the First Army in a circular array, during the retreat, the soldiers of the First Army in the inner ring were unable to retreat in the same direction due to the fact that the soldiers of the First Army in the inner ring were attacking from all sides, and they were forced to flee everywhere.

Many of the Syracuse soldiers, in order to make a quick escape from Meyaro and avoid encountering the traps set by the Dioonians in the town before, chose to flee south, and through the area that had been bombarded by ballistae all day yesterday, all went well, until when they jumped over the almost non-existent wooden wall and jumped into the river, and the pointed stakes and iron spikes that had been buried in the mud by the First Legion pierced their feet, and one by one they fell into the river and drowned in the midst of a terrible scream. This discouraged those behind them, and under the bayonets and daggers wielded by the pursuing Dionian soldiers, they were either killed or surrendered.

A small number of soldiers chose to flee north, mainly mercenaries from Tauromennan, who were pursued by the enemy, and when they were about to reach the mountains and not far from the city of Tauromennan, they found nearly a thousand sailors with wooden oars and bows blocking their way.

It turned out that the Dionian fleet, after loading the families of the exiles, did not leave the port, but kept a close eye on the situation. When the enemy began to retreat, the Dionian fleet, which was eager to make a difference, took advantage of the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Naxos and the straight-line distance at sea, quickly rowed their ships to land near the mountain pass, and rushed ahead of the enemy to spread their nets.

The exhausted mercenaries still have the will to fight when there is an enemy in front and pursuers in the rear, and most of them disarm and surrender.

Most of the Syracuse soldiers followed the Allied forces west out of the town of Meyaro and south at the wading river.

Macias rode early to the south bank of the Alcantara River, where he planned to gradually gather his rout before leading his army to make further plans. Unexpectedly, after the victory of the Dionians, they still did not give up and pursued the soldiers of the Syracuse coalition army.

The routs poured like a tidal wave across the Alcantara River, not heeding the cries of Macias, but scattered him and hundreds of cavalry, and fled south with them.

The Ionian legionnaires, who were adept at chasing the enemy after a victory, and who often ran armed long distances during training, made the Syracuse suffer enough. The same soldiers were exhausted after a fierce battle, and from time to time the Dioonians caught up with the routs that were lagging behind, and the screams kept driving the Syracuse soldiers like whips, and they ran as hard as they could......

After five or six miles, most of the Dionian soldiers stopped their pursuit, and began to turn back to capture the enemy who were crouching on the side of the road, raising their hands in surrender, only the light infantry continued to chase angrily.

He rushed to the city of Sikuli, and saw that the four gates were closed and the rebels were shooting arrows in the city, so he had to follow the Syracuse soldiers to bypass Sikuli and continue to flee south.

The Dionian light infantry finally stopped their pursuit before they reached the city of Sikuli, and after they identified themselves to the rebels at the head of the city, they were happily welcomed into the city by the Sikuli rebels.

On his way to Katanay, Masias gathered some of his rout.

As he pondered his next steps, both Katanai and Sikuli's tyrants approached him and asked him to help retake the city.

At this time, he was met by a messenger who came urgently from Syracuse to find him, and he learned that there was also a riot in Syracuse, and he was anxiously waiting for him to lead his army back to help.

Masias was taken aback, where could he care about other things, and in a hurry, he personally led his men to recruit the rout, wanting to return to the division to rescue.

……………………………………

When Dionysius led his army to attack the Dionian camp, a small clipper came from outside the port of Siritin, and in the face of the blockade of the Dionian fleet, it was not afraid at all, but played a game of mouse and hide with the Dionian warship, and the nimble and small clipper shuttled between the gaps of many warships, and finally let it easily break into the port.

At this time, Dionysius, who had attacked the deserted left camp but was blocked by wooden walls and moats outside the main camp of the Dionian army, finally made the decision to retreat.

However, this order was somewhat late.

Davers had already set up a circular encirclement formation behind the wooden wall of the 1st, 5th, and 6th legions in the large camp, and deliberately allowed the Syracuse soldiers to break through the wooden wall and pour into the camp to fight face-to-face.

After fighting for so long, most of their physical strength had already been exhausted, and they lacked armor protection, how could the soldiers of Syracuse and the Free Folk be the opponents of the heavily armed and leisurely infantry of the Ionian Legion, plus the soldiers of the Fourth and Seventh Legions who fought on the remaining wooden walls, the Syracuse people who attacked the Chinese camp were quickly defeated, and they rushed to the Syricourt. If it weren't for the threat of the army led by Dionysius himself, Davers did not let the army pursue all the way to the city of Cilitin for the sake of safety.

Dionysius, after learning of the disastrous defeat of the troops attacking the camp head-on, dared to stay any longer, and hurriedly led his army back into the city, and in order to vent his anger, he burned down the left camp of Dionia.

Back in the city, before Dionysius could catch his breath, Reptines looked panicked.

After hearing the news reported by his younger brother in a whisper, Dionysius was extremely shocked: he never expected that Davos would send an army to land in Sicily while besieging Silitin and dividing his troops to attack the Lockri allies in Syracuse!

Although according to Reptines, the troops that landed in Sicily were only a few thousand, but Dionysius was not as calm and calm as Felistus, after another defeat at the hands of Davers, he was full of vigilance against the young Dionian consul, and he even highly suspected that Davers was willing to negotiate peace with him before, not only to cover up his division of troops to attack Hibernian and Medma, but also to delay him and complete the landing of troops on Sicily, which is probably the real killer move of Davers!

As the tyrant of Syracuse and the overlord of the Greek city-states of Sicily, Dionysius was well aware of how the people of the various city-states thought of him, and he was restless at the thought of this, but he tried his best to pretend to be safe, say goodbye to everyone, and return to his temporary residence.

When Fasipezas had put his army in order and had come to report the losses of the battle to Dionysius, he saw a general plenipotentiary with a haggard face.

Dionysius absentmindedly listened to Fasipes's report, and was indifferent to the huge figure of more than 2,000 killed and nearly 6,000 wounded by the Syracuse army, but said quickly: "Syracuse has just sent a messenger to tell me that more than 3,000 Dionian soldiers have landed in the Gulf of Naxos and quietly captured the ...... of Meyaro."

In order to reduce the impact and avoid causing too much panic, Dionysius deliberately said less about the number of Dionian troops that landed, but it still shocked Fasipesas and even forgot to address Dionysius respectfully: "What?!" The Dionians actually attacked Sicily?! When did this happen?! ”

Dionysius glanced at him and pretended to smile lightly: "Two days ago. The Dioonians want to cause us some trouble, but their numbers are too small, Macias has already led a force of 10,000 people to the north, and there are also the support of the city-states of Tonis, Leotini, and Cataneh along the way, and it is believed that all the Dionians who have landed have been wiped out by now! ”()
