Chapter 110 Bajilipi's Conspiracy
The Vigs had already suffered last year, but apparently Sedorum did not tell other Brutis about their painful experiences.
"There is a trap ahead!"
The momentum of the Brutis charge stopped suddenly, and just as they stopped, Dracos on the wooden wall was already ordering: "Arrower, get ready!"
Bajilipi next to him hurriedly shouted: "General, please don't do it first! They are soldiers from Bissinia, let me try to persuade them to surrender!"
The Second Legion received reinforcements from Turiy, and its troops increased to 9,000, but one-third of the soldiers remained in Bissinia to prevent unrest. At the same time, Dracos invited Baguilipi to the fortress being built. On the surface, it was to assist the soldiers of the Second Legion to be familiar with the terrain. When the Brutis arrived, they could learn more about the attacking enemy; in fact, they were transferred away from the most appealing leader in Bissinia to ensure the safety of the newly occupied city. Unexpectedly, this leader could still play an unexpected role.
Dracos looked at Bajilipi with an anxious look on his face, hesitated for a while, and nodded.
Baguilipi held the chassis with both hands, used all his strength, and shouted in a loud voice: "People of Bissinian tribes, I am Baguilipi! Although Bissinian has changed its master, your family is safe! Your parents, wives, and children are all looking forward to your return safely! Go home, Bissinians! The Dionians will not hurt you, and will accept you as citizens of Dionians! Go home, your relatives are waiting for you at home!..."
Within fifty meters outside the city, the Bruti warrior who was moving forward carefully clearly heard the affectionate shouts in Bruti language coming from the city wall.
"It's the voice of the leader of Baguilipi!..." For the Bissinians, this voice was very familiar. Since Baguilipi has always been respected among the Bissinians, the screams of the injured soldiers gradually became smaller, and the rescue soldiers also forgot to rescue. They listened carefully and began to whisper to each other.
Nikuru, who was behind, was furious and furious: "Bajilipi, damn old guy! Why didn't I find him so vicious before? It was him! It must be him who betrayed us! That allowed the Dionians to occupy my city! I want to peel his skin! Eat his flesh! Kill his whole family!!!..."
Nikuru could only curse. No matter how irritable he was, he knew at this moment that with the current situation of the soldiers, it was impossible to fight again, so he had to order a temporary retreat.
However, the horn sounded, but a small number of soldiers lingered.
Nikuru was anxious and angry, and hurriedly sent soldiers from other tribes to drive them away with spears. He finally withdrew from the battlefield and almost led to a conflict.
Nikuru didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly retreated several miles.
The soldiers supported each other, sighed along the way, and the morale was depressed.
Seeing this on the wooden wall, Dracos did not take the opportunity to attack because Bajilipi gave him a better idea.
The Dionians turned the area 50 meters away from the wooden wall into a trap, and the Bissinian warriors under their command were distracted by Bajilipi's words. Nikuru was also helpless now. While ordering to camp here, he sent a scout cavalry to report the enemy's situation to Kosenza. Nikuru considered it over and over again and decided to summon the leaders of various Bissinian warriors and let them emphasize to the soldiers: Don't believe the rumors of traitors. Their families have become slaves to the Greeks. Only by fighting to regain Bissinian city can their families be free!...
Just as he shouted at the top of his lungs, he asked his subordinates to go back to boost the fighting spirit of the soldiers, the guards came in and reported that there were a group of Bissinian women in the military camp.
It turned out that Bajilipi summoned the wives of some soldiers under Nikuru. These women are all of whom are old and young, and they cannot be unable to come back as soon as they go. Then they told them: Your husbands are outside. If you want to prevent them from dying in battle, you have to call them back!
Under the guidance of the soldiers of the Dionians, these women walked out of the trap, traveled several miles, and came to the military camp of Nikuru together. Seeing that it was their relatives, the soldiers guarding the camp not only did not stop them, but instead opened the fence and welcomed them.
So, a series of touching scenes of couples crying. These women would tell their husbands: After occupying the entire city, the soldiers of the Dionians did not hurt another Bissinian. They also sent doctors to rescue the injured, extinguish the burning flames, and repair the damaged houses... Now the order in the city has gradually recovered.
A small number of Bissinian soldiers learned from the women that their families had died in the battle and cried loudly.
In a camp, the soldiers gathered together, and the scene of sadness and joy was both lively and a bit funny. But for Nikuru, who had only learned the news, was frightened.
This was the conspiracy of the Dionians! In desperation, Nikuru actually sent a guard to isolate these women from the soldiers.
He wanted to prevent the situation from escalating, but this action intensified the conflict. Seeing the women who were forcibly pulled away and cried, some of whom fell to the ground because of resistance, but the guards dragged them away without hesitation. The Bissinian soldiers were angry and surrounded the guards from the Nikuru tribe, composed of his most trusted tribe members.
These guards who relied on Nikuru's power on the contrary, saw that the situation was not good, and they knelt down and begged for mercy. However, the angry soldiers ignored their begging and rushed up, beating them with pain. Gradually, the guards lost their breath from punches and kicks from countless people. When the soldiers found out, they stopped their hands. The dying cry of the guards made some soldiers suddenly scared. Nikuru's strength and tyranny over the years began to envelope their hearts.
"We killed the people of Nikuru, and he will not spare us! Why not take advantage of the fact that there are many people now and then we will catch him and then go home!" At this time, a young Bissinia shouted loudly, and suddenly became the direction of the confused soldiers' actions.
They gathered together and rushed towards Nikuru's tent.
Nikuru had received this bad news. At this moment, he had no time to regret it. He hurriedly rode his horse and fled to the area where other tribe soldiers lived, and asked them to send troops to quell the rebellion immediately, but was rejected.
He used a thousand warriors to fight against more than two thousand angry Bissinian warriors, and the one who gave the order was not their own leader, so how could they obey the orders of the alliance elder Nikuru, who was already alone?
So, when the Bissinian soldiers approached the camp, Nikuru, who felt dangerous, rode his horse and fled again.
Faced with other tribal warriors who were waiting for battle, the Bissinians who gradually calmed down were afraid that Nikuru would lead his troops to retaliate and took the initiative to retreat.
"According to what the leader of Baguilipi said, go back to Bissinia!" When the confused Bissinians were confused about what to do next, the young warrior shouted loudly again. In fact, they only have this path to go now.
Outside the newly built fortress of the soldiers of the Dionians, Bajilipi brought several famous old men from Bissinia to greet the uneasy warriors.
Dracos did not expect that Bajilipi's suggestion would be so successful, which made him both excited and a little distressed. How to deal with these more than 2,000 returning Bissinian soldiers is a big problem. If they simply put them all back to the city, Dracos himself would feel uneasy. Fortunately, this time, the success of the unscrupulous swordsman collapsed the enemy's attack and won him time again. He now urgently hopes that Davers will lead the army to arrive as soon as possible.
…………………………………………………………
Cincinnager decided to lead 6,000 Picoses warriors to Grummentum with his son Gneathut. As expected, as the army arrived, tribes in the northern part of Grummentum came to vote, including the two tribes that ambushed Bagule and Brina.
Cincinnag learned from the past lessons and treated all the tribes that came to surrender, quickly won over the hearts of these anxious small tribe leaders, and quickly expanded his team to tens of thousands of people, and continued to move south in a mighty manner.
The news reached the city hall of Grummentum. Bagule, who was rumored to be "severely injured", was sitting on a wooden chair safely, with a slightly worried expression: "Although we spread the rumors that "Dionia and Bru's war are unfavorable" and "I am seriously injured" to confuse the enemy, but we did not expect that these tribes in the north would surrender to Picoses so quickly. Alas! All the efforts we made before were in vain!"
Ascestes sneered: "Just as Lord Davers said, 'In the face of danger, we can see which tribes are truly loyal to Dionia? Which ones are traitors?! In the past six months, most of our energy has been spent on mediating the territory and property disputes of these tribes, and they are all wolves that cannot be fed! Now, except for those arranged tribes, we have captured all the other tribes that betrayed us, and completely incorporated the territory of Grummentum into our control!"
"They are all Lucanians!" Bagule knew what Yassites said was reasonable, but he couldn't help but sigh again.
Yassites was stunned and then advised: "Brother, did the Lucanians have fewer civil wars in the past? No matter what time, your tribe would not be forced to take the risk of moving to Amendolara. Now, after we unify Lucania, the Lucanians, as citizens of Dionia, will never kill each other again, and their lives will get better and better! You said, right?!"
