He looked back at the legionnaires who were also observing the Tiber and said, "According to rumors, hundreds of years ago the Tiber River was often flooded, and the middle and lower reaches along the river were full of swamps and wetlands, especially in this area, so that no race or power wanted to build here, only the Romans, who were ostracized by the Latins, chose to settle here, and now they are the overlords of central Italy......"

"But now that we're here, it's time for the overlord to give way!" Amintas immediately said that the victory in yesterday's battle and the congratulations of King Davers and his colleagues just now made him very energetic.

"Yes, that's our goal, but we need to fight to make it happen." Davers smiled slightly, and looked at the commander of the Third Legion: "Lizaru, I asked the messenger to send the battle plan to Ravenium last night, have you read it?" ”

Lizaru immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you have our Third Army cross the Tiber and camp on the north bank of the Tiber to block reinforcements from the Etruscan city-states and Roman colonies, and at the same time attack the Roman city from the north......"

"That's right, it's your Third Legion's mission." Davers nodded, pointed to the upper reaches of the river with his left hand, and said, "There is a vertebral bridge three or four miles from here, which is an important land artery for Rome to and from the Etruscan region, and it is likely that the Romans will not destroy it, and you can use this bridge to attack the city of Rome." If the bridge has been destroyed by the Romans, it doesn't matter, the Third Fleet will use their ships to build a passage for you to attack Rome. You have to hold off the reinforcements of the Romans and attack the city of Rome, the task is heavy! ”

Speaking of this, Davers paused, and asked, "I remember that the last time you submitted a battle report, it was recorded that there was a company that blocked the attack of more than 5,000 soldiers in Kautini, and finally ensured that they were surrounded and annihilated. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I hope that your Third Legion will have a few more officers like Tagru to turn your camp into an iron wall and completely cut off the reinforcements from the north to the city of Rome! At the same time, the Third Legion must be like a sharp sword, giving a fierce attack on the city of Rome from the north, striving to break through the enemy's defenses and open a gap for the whole army to attack the city! Davers Lang encouraged.

For King Davers's ardent expectations, Lizaru, who belonged to the junior among the legion commanders, was both excited and a little nervous: "Your Majesty, the Third Legion will do its best to complete the combat mission!" But...... Because it is necessary to fight on both sides, the strength of the army is ...... Slightly lacking. ”

Before Davos could respond, Amintas said loudly: "Your Majesty, such an important task should be entrusted to our First Legion!" You don't need to send reinforcements to the First Legion, and we're ready to go! ”

"This task should be entrusted to our Second Legion! The First Legion has been fighting many times and is already out of strength, while our Second Legion is full of soldiers! Mattonis then shouted.

Stimulated by the two army commanders, Lizalu also immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, our third army will definitely be able to complete this task!" ”

"The First Legion and the Second Legion all have important tasks, so you don't have to fight anymore." Davers waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two corps commanders of Amintas and Matonis, and then comforted Lizaru: "You don't have to worry, the Third Fleet will cooperate with you, and the infantry of their fleet is not weak." ”

Lizaru was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, when will the Third Fleet arrive?" ”

"The Tiber River is winding, and it will take some more time for the Third Fleet to swim upstream, but Hades forbid, it's a tailwind, and there are slaves and laborers to help pull the fiber, and they should be there soon. When the time comes, you will have to hurry up and cross the river by boat, and quickly set up camp on the north bank of the bridge, and you will also assist the Third Fleet in leveling the river beach so that they can push their ships onto the river beach. The stations of the crew of the Third Fleet will be merged with you. Davos patiently reminded.

"I see, Your Majesty!" Lizaru suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your Majesty, if we cross the river by boat and find that the Romans have no defense at all, can I directly lead my troops to kill them?" ”

"If there is such a great opportunity, of course you can't let it go, all our legions will cooperate with you to attack the city immediately, but I don't think the Romans will make such a stupid mistake." Davers smiled.

A group of people laughed and came to the granary camp behind the port.

"Your Majesty, there are in this camp a total of 90 large barns and ten hay sheds, and the barns are filled with milled wheat flour, and there are about ...... in one barn About 3,000 catties, in addition to forage, there are soybeans in the forage shed. We rescued 45 intact barns, four hay sheds, and eight barns that were partially burned......"

After listening to Ryders's introduction, Davers praised: "It seems that the flour and forage are ready to be shipped to the Roman army in Helniki. Leders, Kucius, your two cavalry regiments arrived in time and captured this batch of food, which not only dealt a blow to the enemy, but also relieved our military food supply, which is a great achievement! ”

Cucius interjected: "Your Majesty, the reason why we have succeeded is that we have come too quickly, beyond the expectations of the Romans, and have made them unprepared; On the other hand, the Romans' barns were so well repaired, so strong and resistant to fire and moisture that it took time to get them to burn. The Romans were not serious about repairing the city walls, but they were very serious about repairing the barn, but they helped us! ”

The crowd laughed again.

Davers said seriously: "It is precisely because we have made full preparations in advance, and the Romans did not expect that we would suddenly lead a large army to attack the city of Rome directly, that there will be many mistakes, but we must also be careful not to give the Romans time to breathe." ”

All the legion commanders retracted their smiles and nodded cautiously.

"Oliver!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You lead the Fourth Legion to camp here, protect the granaries and river ports, and take charge of tomorrow's attack on the western walls of Rome." Davers pointed to the towering wall ahead and asked, "Where do you think the focus of your attack is?" ”

Without hesitation, Oliver pointed to the long protruding wall in front of him on the right, where Davers had said that behind the wall was the largest favela in Rome: "Here! Here, of course! It's so ugly, if you don't take it down and then destroy it, I won't be able to sleep well in the future. ”

Oliver's teasing words made everyone laugh again.

Davers nodded and reminded: "According to the plan discussed last night, the nobles and commoners of Rome have deep contradictions, and we must find a way to divide them, divide them, and make it impossible for them to fight with us together. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Oliver replied earnestly.

After arranging the affairs outside the western walls of Rome, Davers led the legions commanders around the Roman city walls and rode eastward, the palace guards guarded him, and the cavalry of the first and second cavalry regiments followed closely behind, so even if the Roman soldiers on each section of the city wall saw a group of senior Dionian generals wearing gorgeous armor and gorgeous crowned helmets appear a hundred meters below the city, looking at the city wall, more than ten military flags behind them, and did not dare to rush out of the city to raid.

The group soon reached the easternmost point of the Roman wall, and then turned northwest along the wall, when Davers said, "Amyntas, you have led the First Legion to camp here. ”

"It's finally our first corps' turn, and I thought Your Majesty had forgotten about us." Amintas said loudly with a pretended grumble.

"Of course I won't forget." Davers said with a serious expression: "The First Legion, as the most combat-effective legion in our Dionia, naturally has the most difficult task you have undertaken. From here all the way to the walls of the Tiber River, it is within the range of your First Legion, and you must put enough pressure on the Romans! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not only let the Romans know the strength of our First Legion, but also attack the city of Rome from here!" Amyntas said confidently.

"In addition, the walls here are very long, but the attacking forces are the least in all directions, and after the city is broken, the Romans are likely to flee from here, and you must make sure to intercept them all as much as you can!" Davers said solemnly.

Amintas was stunned for a moment, then replied, "This ...... Of course there is no problem! ”

"Also, you should note that the location of the First Legion's camp is the farthest away from the main force of the other legions, and from here not far to the east, there are several Roman colonial cities, so the First Legion is likely to be the target of the Roman reinforcements." Davers reminded with a solemn expression.

Amintas's expression became solemn, and he nodded.

"The Mountain Scout Brigade will be stationed with the First Legion, but they have important tasks to carry out and will not attack the city with you."

After hearing Davers's words, Amintas looked at Izzam, who smiled at him.

"Izzam!"

"In!" Dukeya, who was already middle-aged, was no longer as detached as he had been when he was younger, he replied respectfully.

"In order to prevent suspicion from being seen by the Roman soldiers, you should not go to the Tiber during the day to survey the terrain. The rainy season in Rome is from December to February, which is already over, and although Rome did not suffer from drought last year, according to intelligence, it rained a little less than in previous years, and we have just seen it downstream, the water flow is gentle, and the water level on the shore has dropped, so you have a good chance of success. ”
