Fortunately, behind the wooden wall, there is a watchtower more than a meter higher than the wall, and the light infantry led by Zpitt under the castle, and the support of bows and arrows fired by the free people and javelins, so that the wooden wall in the southern section is still basically safe.

Zpitt shot an arrow, and the enemy burst into the chest of the wooden wall, and the seemingly thick leather robe was completely pierced, and the enemy fell to the ground.

Tspeit habitually reached for the arrow, only to find that the quiver was empty.

"Go get a new arrow!" Tspeit shook his sour right hand and said to the guard next to him.

After a while, the guard hurried back, handed him the quiver full of ten arrows, and said, "Captain, the quartermaster has asked you to spare, and he has not many arrows left." ”

"How did you use it so fast?!" Zpitt said with a little dissatisfaction.

"I asked him the same thing, but he said that we had more than 2,000 archers in the light infantry plus the freedmen, and 20,000 arrows per man, and now almost all the archers had run out of arrows...... He also said...... He also said, 'Arrows are all bought with money, and the price is not low, this time because our Second Legion has the need for defensive operations in the advance plan, so the enemy of Mersis has distributed 30,000 arrows to us, otherwise we will never be wasted!' The guards had some aggrieved words.

Although Zpitt was also a little angry, but the quartermaster of the baggage team was now under the control of Mersis, and the thought of the stingy fat man made Zpit feel a headache, and he said loudly: "Brothers, there is nothing to worry about when you run out of bows and arrows, we still have counterblades and spears, do you say?!" ”

"To !!"

…………………………

Pianren was so anxious about the stalemate of the siege that he turned to look at the soldiers resting in the rear, hesitating to send the last 5,000 men, but the small size of the battlefield made it too crowded under the wooden walls, and no amount of people seemed to help.

At that moment, he heard the sound of a "booming ......" behind him, followed by cheers.

"The wooden wall is collapsing! The enemy's wall has collapsed!! ......" The warriors beside him cheered, and Pianren turned back excitedly to see that a large gap had appeared in the center of the southern section of the wooden wall of the fortress ahead, and the Bruti warriors were rushing in......

"Don't panic! Don't panic! ......" Brim loudly calmed the panicked Bessinia warrior. Bachilipi was too old, and the warriors of his tribe were led by Bachilipi's nephews, so he was the oldest, the most qualified, and more prestigious than Brim of the three leading leaders of Sinia. Although he didn't really want to fight the Kosenza, he had to fight for the survival of his people on the battlefield.

"Hold your position, the wall won't come back and it won't collapse again! ......," Brim shouted, knowing very well that the gap was caused by the negligence of the warriors that the wooden wall was burned with fire oil and hit by the sassal wood, which caused the wooden wall to be destroyed and the earth pit to collapse.

"Stay ahead! Leave these enemies rushing in, there are Ionians behind to clean them up! ......" he said this because he had seen the heavily armed Dionian soldiers waiting behind the gap in the wooden wall, and he was quite surprised by the swift and orderly maneuver of the Dionian army.

For the soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the Second Legion, the collapse of the wooden wall was a good thing, and they could finally make up for the regret of not going to the city to kill the enemy.

When the Bruti warriors stepped on the collapsed ramparts, kicked through the broken wooden fence, and rushed into the wall, they found themselves facing an iron wall surrounded by countless copper shields and countless sharp bayonets......

The Bruti warriors who rushed in were unable to form an array with their companions and were not organized by their officers, and could not resist the attack of the Dionian army by personal bravery, and had to guard against arrows from the watchtowers overhead and the javelins of the Bissinian warriors.

In the short time after breaking through the wooden wall, the casualties of the Bruti warriors increased dramatically, and they tried to retreat, but the way back was blocked by the excited warriors rushing in from behind.

The 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 2nd Army steadily attacked, shrinking the encirclement smaller and smaller, causing the Buruti warriors to be crowded into a mass and even wielding their weapons with great difficulty.

Pianlen was first pleased to see many of the Buruti warriors rushing into the gap together, but soon the scene seemed to stand still, and the warriors wandered around the gap but could not enter, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Then, he was surprised to see that the Bruti warriors there suddenly scattered and fled, and from the gap in the wall poured out groups of brightly armored Dionian soldiers, who took advantage of the flank to attack the other Bruti warriors who were attacking the city with all their might, and soon the rout was no longer just the point of the gap, but evolved into the entire Bruti offensive line......

Seeing this, Pianren's heart was half cold, and he extinguished the luck of victory, and he saw that the Dionian army that occupied Bessinia was not just a non-main force of Dioonia with only a few thousand soldiers as judged by the leaders, but most likely some kind of legion claimed by the Diorians!

"Retreat......" he shouted in pain.

However, just as he managed to gather his defeated troops and return to the camp in frustration, he received even worse news.

"What do you say?! There was a riot in the city of Cosenza?! ”

"Yes, Grand Chief. Saidum, Saas, Bois...... Wait for a dozen tribes to suddenly lead their tribesmen to attack the inner city early the next morning after you led the army away, if not, the leader of Kadurk led the team to arrive in time, I am afraid they will attack the inner city! Now that they occupy the west side of the outer city, the High Priest has sent me to inform you quickly, hoping that the High Leader will quickly quell these rebellions and restore peace to the city of Cosenza! The messenger said anxiously.

"Understood, you go back and tell the high priest, I will immediately return with the army, so that he will not panic, and hold the inner city first with Kadurk!" Pianlen made a quick decision. In order to monitor and rule these disobedient tribes nearby, the "Council of Seven Elders" decided to force them to move to the outer city of Cosenza. This rebellion was a wake-up call to Pianlun, who had to act quickly to avoid worsening the situation by the Ionian invasion that had already affected the tribes of the Bruti region, especially those who had previously been forced to submit to the alliance because they were dissatisfied with the alliance.

He asked Petaru to carry out the order to pull out the camp.

Soon, Bergam broke into the tent and shouted excitedly: "Did I hear me wrong, Pianren you want to go back to Cosenza?!" Let these Ionians continue to build a fortress here, and we're gone?! ”

"Elder Bergarm, what else can we do in such a terrible situation? Go ahead and storm the fortress?! Pianren was no longer as anxious as he had just heard the news, and he calmly asked: "Then behind the city wall, I am afraid that there are six or seven thousand carefully trained Dionian soldiers, and more than two thousand Bisinian traitors who have defected to them, plus that well-defended fortress, do you think that we alone can capture this fortress?!" You know, we suffered nearly 2,000 casualties in today's battle! 2,000 people!! That's half as many Ambalian warriors you've brought! ”

When Bergam heard this, he sat down dejectedly...... Halfway through, he raised his head and murmured in a dry voice: "Do you just watch Dionia's army pass through Bissinia and break into our homeland......"

"Then let them come!" Pianren roared, his eyes blazing, he looked directly at Bergam, stepped forward and gave him a strong hug, and said in a hard tone: "We are going back to gather all the Bruti warriors!" We're going to fight the Dionians to the death on the Cosenza plateau! This battle will determine the rise and fall of the Brutis, and Amara, the goddess of the plateau, will protect us! ”

"Plateau ......" Bergam regained his fighting spirit through Pi Anlun's reminder: "Yes, we have the blessing of Amara!" We also have the Cosenza plateau! ……”

……………………………

The high-spirited Sincinag was taken refuge by many tribes in the northern part of Grumentum and marched all the way south. Arriving in the south, he finally ran into an obstacle.

The tribes that had previously migrated from Niutum were the first to submit to Dionia, and they identified with and trusted Dioonia more than Pikosis in the far west of Grummentum. They drove out the messengers sent by Sincinag and united to prepare against Pikosis.

Sincinag was furious and prepared to lead an army against these disobedient tribes. But news came: there was a change in the city of Grummentum on the north side, and about 2,000 Dionian soldiers came out of the city.

This caused Sincinag to withdraw his army, fearing that when attacking the Lucanian tribes in the south, he would suddenly be attacked by the Dioonians from the flanks.

As soon as Picosis' forces withdrew, the Dionians retreated into the city.

For two days and so, Sincinag judged that the Dioonians in the city were merely for show, and that they had neither the courage nor the intention to attack him.

So, he asked Gnenet to take 2,000 warriors to keep an eye on the city of Grummentum, and he himself led his army to prepare to conquer the southern tribes.

At this time, the city of Pikosis sent an envoy to tell him the bad news: a thousand Elians had invaded the territory of Pikosis, they destroyed the farmland and burned the settlements.

When Sincinag heard this, he flew into a rage.
