Only then did Davers look at his son's back and walk out of the tent with worried eyes, he stood there for a moment, but when he turned back, he saw some young staff officers with envious expressions, he thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Who else wants to go to battle?" ”

"Me!"

"Me!"

"And me!"

Several young people hurriedly said.

Davers waved his hand: "Hurry up, fight well!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" These young staff officers happily rushed out of the big tent.

Davos smiled and said encouragingly to the staff officers who were still in the accounts: "These little guys, they are too young to understand that this is the head of our entire army, and our efforts will determine the success or failure of the entire battle!" So, lads, let's get to work in order to win this! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The restless hearts of the staff officers were temporarily calmed by Davers.

"Your name is Claunessus, a native of Amendolara, from the First Legion?" Davers pointed to one of the young men and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you have a good memory!" The young man was pleasantly surprised.

"You are responsible for receiving battle reports and enemy information for me, and reporting to me in a timely and accurate manner!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your name is Illittius, a native of Castron, from the Second Legion, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You're in charge of labeling the map."

"Yes!"

"Your name is Asinaroth, a native of Crotone, from the Fourth Legion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You're in charge of recording and communicating my orders."

"Okay!"

"And you...... You...... You ......" Davers accurately called the names of several other staff officers, saw that they were all flattered, and said with a smile: "You are responsible for recording and analyzing the battle situation, and if you find any abnormalities or suggestions, you can ask me at any time!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

The staff officers, who had been in a commotion by the departure of Tolmide and Klotocatax, resumed their intense and meticulous military work, and even more earnestly than before.

Davers looked at them busy, and his mood fluctuated a little.

At this time, Henipolis, who did not know when he had gone out, walked into the big tent again, came to Davers's side, and whispered: "Martius has sent 30 palace guards to protect Cloto's safety. ”

Davers glanced at him, his heart was completely settled, he tapped the map lightly with his hand, and then said loudly: Asinarius, you immediately ask the herald to inform the engineering battalion and baggage battalion in this large battalion...... Wait for all the auxiliaries to immediately move to the rear of the Second Army Corps and stand by! ”

"Yes!" Acinaroth hurried to the outside of the tent.

Although Davers boldly transferred the four brigades stationed in the large camp to participate in the battle, this was indeed an adventure, only two brigades were left to guard the large battalion, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness was, it would not be able to completely defend such a huge battalion, so Davers issued this transfer order for the sake of safety, especially the engineers and skilled craftsmen he treasured could not be harmed.

Then Davers gave another order: "Irittheus, check the latest news about Epitenis, reconfirm his position, and then deduce his current approximate position according to the speed of his march. ”

"Yes!"

………………………………………

Although he had never commanded a unit of more than 1,000 men before, he had decades of experience in military career, and since he joined Dionya and entered the General Staff Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he has been working hard to improve himself: he has an in-depth understanding of Dionia's past combat examples, is familiar with and thoroughly Dionia's military system and tactical tactics, and makes further efforts to envision future military reform and development…… Tolmide admits that he is inferior to Printors in military talent, but he also believes that he is worthy of the position of staff officer.

He was worried about Crotocartas beside him, and although Davers did not say "let him take care of his son", if His Royal Highness the Prince, who was recognized by everyone as the future successor to the throne of Davos, was in danger, injured, or ...... He didn't think he would have a good time in Dionia.

By the time the 30 palace guards arrived at Klotocatax, Tolmid already had an idea, and he said with a serious expression: "Your Royal Highness, this time to intercept the enemy is related to the success or failure of our entire battle, and the life and death of the entire army, so it is very important!" You are not a member of other brigades, you have not trained with them, and you do not have a tacit understanding of battle, so I will not line you up at the front of the military formation, but in the rear, once the front line cannot withstand the enemy's attack, or the enemy is surrounded from the flank, I will let you lead the palace guards to rush to block their attack and buy time for the other troops! ”

Although Crotocators is very young, he is not very angry because of Davers's long-term careful teaching, and he also knows that his sudden addition has made Tolmid a little worried, and Tolmide has a point, so he immediately nodded and responded: "Yes, Lord Commander!" ”

Tolmid, who had had little contact with Klotocatax in the past and did not know much about him, was relieved to see that this young man was so reasonable, and at the same time he had a great affection for His Royal Highness the Prince.

The group walked straight out of the northwest gate of the camp, and soon the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves sounded behind them...... After receiving the order, the two cavalry regiments had already arrived quickly.

"Thor...... Lord Commander, the 1st (2nd) Cavalry Regiment has been ordered to arrive! ”

Tormide looked at Rydes, who usually laughed together, and glanced at Kuchius beside him, but at this time he didn't have the intention of laughing, but said with a serious expression: "Two army commanders, a reinforcement of 8,000 people from Rome, is coming from the west, Your Majesty let us go to block it, and we must not let the enemy disrupt our siege plan!" Prepare your troops first, and when the other troops arrive, let's set off together. ”

The two legion commanders replied in unison, and although they were both surprised to see Klotocatax beside Tolmid, they did not ask, but turned back and ordered the officers to gather and gather the cavalry.

After a few more moments, four infantry brigades arrived one after another.

Klotocatachus couldn't help but be happy when he saw that there was actually the commander of Adoris among the captains who came to report: I heard my father say the phrase "father and son soldiers in battle" before, but I didn't expect that this time I would be able to fight with my eldest brother!

But on such occasions, it was certainly impossible for Crotocatax to go after Adores.

After the team gathered, Tolmide immediately led the team to set off, and it didn't take long for them to rush to the west of the southwest corner of the Roman wall, and the two garrison brigades of the Fourth Legion that had been notified by the herald also arrived quickly, and now there were six infantry brigades in the army led by Tolmid, four of which were heavy infantry brigades and two light armored brigades, after all, the light armored soldiers were weaker in defense and suffered more losses in the frontal attack, so several corps commanders let the light armored brigade stay in the camp.

Tolmid breathed a sigh of relief when he learned from the scout that the enemy was still a mile away, but fortunately the large camp of the Chinese army in Dionya occupied a large area, and the Romans made a detour from the outside, and he led his troops directly to the inner line, although he was the last to set out, but still in front.

Tolmid immediately began to lay out the formation: he had one heavy infantry battalion each of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Legions on the left, center, and right at the front of the formation, another brigade from the Fourth and Sixth Legions behind it, the second regiment at the rear of the center, and the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps on the left and right flanks, and the length of the entire central formation would be lengthened or shortened according to the situation of the enemy's formation.

Tolmid arranged a simple formation, but for such a hastily cobbled together force of 10,000 people, the simpler the formation, the more conducive to their battle.

The infantry and cavalry quickly began to form under the command of the officers, and Crotocatax and the palace guards were at the back of the second legion, and in the process, he saw Adoris, who was also surprised that his brother was here, but the brothers only met their eyes slightly, and soon followed the instructions and went to the position where they should stand.

As soon as Dionia's army was arrayed, he saw that the Roman army had appeared in the distance, and instead of waiting for the Roman army to come, Tormid directly ordered the whole army to advance.

…………………………………

Yesterday Paulus and Megius led the army all the way east, passing through Satnikum and Villitre, and entering the Alba Lake area at dusk, only to stop the advance, and let the army station, while filming spies to reconnoiter the situation of the Dionians, while Megius led people to visit all the villages and towns in the region overnight, hoping that the Latins in this area could support them, resist the invaders, and rescue Rome.

The next day, a lot of Latin warriors came to the Alba region one after another, according to Paulus's statistics, there were 3,000 people, which is worthy of being the first to be conquered by Rome in the Latin region, and the relationship with Rome is also the closest, but this is also the greatest effort that the Latins of Alba can do.

The Roman reinforcements, which had grown to more than 8,000 men, pitted the two generals.

Paulus believes that according to various intelligence, the Dioonians are already attacking the city with all their might, and Rome is in danger, and they should take advantage of the fact that the Dioonians have thrown most of their soldiers into the siege but have not broken the city, and launch a fierce attack on the Dioonians from the rear, so as to thwart the enemy's offensive and save Rome!
