Chapter 104 Containment between the North and the South, Breakthrough by the Central Committee
"What?!" Canaru couldn't believe his ears, the fright completely drove away his sleepiness, and the shouts of killing outside the house came clearly into his ears: "Enemy?!" Where did the enemy come from?! Is it a Kosenza?! The sudden turn of events left him at a loss, and it was not for nothing that he subconsciously identified the enemy as the Cosenza first. Because of the terrain, the Greeks never entered the territory of Bessina, but Cosenza fought with them many times. In order to defend Cosenza, Bissinia also built a small fortress to the west of the Cosenza plateau, but because of the unification of Bruti last year, in order to show Bissinia's sincerity, Nikuru removed the fort and kept only one outpost. For this reason, Kanaru also quarreled with his father.
The subordinates didn't know what to ask, which made Kanaru thunderous: "Get out of here!" Check it out for me and report back! Nope."
"Someone! Inform the chiefs of Bachilipi and Brim and bring their people to the council halls! ”
"Blow the horn and let the people come here!"
"Let everyone take up arms and go out with me to drive out the enemy!"
Kanaru's orders were decisive, but they were difficult to execute, and the Bissinians had never encountered such a calamity, and they lacked the means to respond, and the people in the mansion panicked and were in disarray.
Kanaru managed to organize dozens of clansmen, hurried out of the door, and ran into the fierce enemy head-on.
With a loud roar, Kanaru rushed forward first, brandishing the iron rod in his hand, and smashing down the enemy in front of him with a single blow, even the wooden shield was destroyed, which shows the great strength of his power.
"Don't fight with him, bypass him, deal with the others first!" Seeing this, Adriankos immediately made a decision.
Greek! Only then did Canaru take a detailed look at the enemy on the other side, and his heart was full of surprise. But at the moment, he didn't have time to dwell on it: how did the Dioonians invade Bissinia?
Adrianx's orders made him think that he was the general of the Greeks, and immediately killed him in the direction of Adrianx.
The experienced Adrianks did not hurry and commanded the soldiers around him to quickly retreat and not engage Kanaru head-on.
Kanaru was anxious and chased after him, but he didn't know that the people behind him were blocked by the Dionian soldiers and distanced themselves from him.
Canaru was so distraught by Adriankos' avoidance of the battle that he was awakened by the screams of his people, who had to turn back to the rescue when he saw that they had been scattered by the Greeks.
Adrianks commanded his soldiers to catch up and continue to entangle him.
At this time, two other teams also arrived from other neighborhoods.
Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, Kanaru did not dare to fight again, and led the surviving clansmen back to the mansion. In the process, he was stabbed in the face with a javelin, but he fought back against the Dionian soldiers who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the mansion.
After retreating into the house and closing the door, Kanaru immediately collapsed on the ground, unable to stand up.
When the clansmen saw this scene, they were all shocked.
"Report to the captain, the leader of Bissinia, Brim, has been wounded and captured!" The commander of the 1st Company of the 1st Brigade reported to Adriankos.
Adriankos had a purpose in dividing the seven hundred warriors who had entered the city of Bissinia into three teams. Through the information, he knew that there were three tribes in the city of Bissinia, and after having Adpigis interrogate him from the captives to find out the location of the residences of the three chiefs, he immediately began to carry out the "decapitation operation", and now it seems that everything is going well.
Brim's mansion was the closest to the city gate, and it should have been unprepared when it was raided, but why did another group of soldiers arrive so quickly?
The commander of the second company gave the answer: "Before we started the attack, this leader of Bissinia led his people out and surrendered!" ”
Take the initiative to surrender! Adrianx did not expect such a situation, he remembered that this leader should be called Bachilipi, who had tried his best to assist the Great Leader of Bessinia for more than ten years, and was quite famous among the Bessinian people. Remembering Davers's instructions, Adriankos hurriedly asked his men to bring Bachilippi in.
Bachilipi, who was in his 50s, was already gray-haired and old, and when he saw Adriankos talking to him gently, his already somewhat uneasy mood calmed down, and he immediately agreed: I would like to surrender to the people in the Great Chief's Mansion for Dionia.
Bachilipi is good at judging the situation. When the Nikuru tribe was strong, as one of the candidates for the Great Chief, he gave up the election and fully supported Nikuru as the Grand Leader of Bissinia, so he won the trust of Nikuru for many years, and his tribe benefited a lot. At the beginning of the war between Bruti and Dionia, with the city of Bissinia and Turiyi only across the river, he made great efforts to get to know his strong neighbors, and felt that it was impossible for the Brutis to defeat the Dionian League, but by relying on the terrain, they might be able to force peace. But when there was a great chaos in the city, and the tribesmen told him in panic according to the appearance of the enemy, 'The attackers may be Greeks', after thinking about it calmly, he felt that the defeat of the Brutis was decided, because the geographical advantage had been lost, so he immediately ordered the tribesmen to surrender on their own initiative. The words of a tribal leader who had served for 30 years were met with obedience by most of the people, and a few were opposed, and he ordered them to be taken down on the spot.
His surrender caused resistance in the city to quickly subside.
Now, standing in front of the mansion of the great chief, he shouted to the people in the courtyard, and the Brutis, who were lying on the wall of the courtyard and peeping out, saw that even Bachilipi had surrendered to the Greeks, and the shock in his heart can be imagined.
Only Canaru, after learning of Barcilipi's betrayal, lay on the sickbed, cursed, and swore that after the Greeks were destroyed, Barchilippi would be broken into pieces!
Kanaru endured the pain and ordered his men to gather all the people in the courtyard to defend stubbornly, but he was greeted by a cold gaze.
Shortly after Bachilipi's shout, the gate opened, and Kanaru's people went out and surrendered with Kararu's body, and according to them, Kanaru was wounded and died.
………………………
The first brigade of 300 people responsible for the raid on the camp started relatively smoothly, after all, the camp was mainly set up for the riverside trail in the east, and all the defenses were in the east, so I didn't expect the enemy to attack from the west, and I was defenseless for a while, and the Dionian soldiers easily broke into the camp.
However, since it was during the war, and it was the front line of the Bessinia enemy, the soldiers were alert and quickly organized to resist. In particular, the four towering watchtowers in the camp, which were originally used to cross-fire the riverside path and attack the enemy's center and rear from a distance to disrupt the enemy's continuous attack ability, now took advantage of the condescending advantage and used arrows to delay the onslaught of the Dionian soldiers, and because the soldiers of the Second Legion were not wearing armor, they suffered some casualties.
The Bessinicans put up a desperate resistance, and the Dionian soldiers, though outnumbered, were unable to completely capture the camp for a while.
The battle continued for some time, until the Bissinian warriors saw the fire in the city, and gradually lost their fighting spirit.
By the time the main force of the Second Army had made a difficult trek through the riverside path to the fortified fortress of Bissinia, the battle had subsided and the troops had successfully entered the territory of Bissinia.
When the commander of the legion, Dracos, heard the news that Adriankos was leading his army to attack the city of Bissinia, he could not be tired, and led his troops to rush to reinforcements in a hurry.
As soon as he arrived at the gates of Bissinia, he saw Adriankos standing there with a smile on his face, and Dracos could not understand that the city had changed hands.
"Okay, Adriankos, you're very bold! No battle is left for us at all! Dracos pointed to his friend, angry and annoyed, not knowing what to say.
"Legion Commander, please enter the city!" With a large battalion taking the defensive camp and the city of Bissinia at the same time, such a brilliant record made the gloom in Adriankos's heart dissipate, and he smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Dracos waved his hand and said with a serious expression: "After the Brutis know that we have captured the city of Bissinia, they will definitely send a large army to recapture it!" If they can't, they'll probably build another defensive camp to the west to prevent us from entering the Cosenza plateau!" We don't have time to rest yet, and we must quickly build a defensive fortress to the west of it before the Brutians attack us, and block the enemy's entry into Bissinia, so that the main force led by Lord Davers arrives! ”
Adriacus felt a pang in his heart: this was part of the plan, but he was too proud of the victory, but fortunately Dracos was still sober!
"Go and call Adpigis!" Adrianx instructed his men to call the Dionian freedman from Bruti to serve as a guide for the troops.
Dracos told the whole army not to enter the city and to continue north, to build a camp.
The already tired soldiers complained, but after all, they still obeyed the order and marched westward without slowing down.
As a representative of the surrendering side of Bissinia, Bajilipi was also at the forefront of the procession that went out of the city to greet him, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
At this moment, Drakes walked towards him.
Bachilipi had already learned the identity of the person from Adrianx's mouth - Dracos, the commander of the Second Legion, and he knew Dionya well: the entire Dionian alliance was only four legions, and one legion had seven or eight thousand people, which was more than twice the total number of Bisinian warriors, and Dracos had a heavy army, and the lives of himself and his people were under his control. Therefore, Bachilipi had to bow respectfully.
Dracos hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Leader of Bissinia, thank you!" Because of your help, we have reduced casualties among both our soldiers and the Bessinicans. When this war is over, Bruti may become part of Dionia, and I will gladly vote for you when the Senate elects a new Bruti senator! ”
