"Everyone, Kosenza's army has entered the Bruti barracks two miles away. According to the spies' reward, the number of enemies may be more than 20,000." Dracos said to everyone. After receiving the enemy situation, he not only did not feel nervous, but was relieved.

It turned out that two thousand Bissinian soldiers surrendered voluntarily, and Dracos was having a headache about how to resettle them. Bajilipi gave a suggestion. On the grounds that Nikuru would soon lead Kosenza's army back to retaliate, except for a few injured soldiers who could return to Bissinia to recuperate, everyone else had to stay in the newly built fortress to assist the Dionians in defending Nikuru's attack. In order to prevent Dracos from suspected that his military power was too great, Bajilipi also offered that the soldiers of all races be led by the leaders of all races.

Dracos was very grateful for Baguilipi's understanding, but after all, not long after the battle between Dionia and Bissinia, some Bissinian soldiers' families died at the hands of Dionian soldiers. The hatred between the two tribes could not be eliminated so quickly. The conflict between the soldiers on both sides in the small fortress was inevitable. Dracos and Baguilipi were worried about this. Drax, who has always been unfamiliar with such affairs, wanted to shift the soldiers' attention to resisting the enemy's attack.

After Dracos finished speaking, Adpigis translated his words in Bruti, and the captains were eager to try.

Although Claylu was nervous, he knew that he had to assist the Dionians in blocking the attack of the Bruti coalition, otherwise the enemy would attack in, and he would probably be the first person Nikuru wanted to kill.

Bajilipi couldn't sit steadily, but what he thought was roughly similar to the young Krem.

Only Brim covered one hand with a spear that was once wounded by the Dionian soldiers, and then was wrapped tightly by the doctor with a cloth, waving his other hand, and said in surprise: "Twenty thousand Kosenza soldiers! Are there so many warriors in Kosenza now?!"

"I think Pi'anlun should also gather the Ambanians and other tribes of warriors," said Bajilipi.

Brim's astonishment subsided a little, but he was still sighing: "Twenty thousand soldiers! This is a powerful army that Bruty has never had before!"

"What's this! There are quite a few city-state troops with more than 20,000 people who have defeated me in Dionia, Crotone in the south! Mesapi opposite the bay, Pucheti people!... We are not afraid of the enemy coming too much, but we are afraid of the enemy coming too little!" Trotilas stood up and said passionately. The son-in-law of Anticoris, the "broken arm" of Anticoris, was just a squad leader when he arrived in Turiy with the mercenaries, and now he is the captain who commands one thousand people.

His words were agreed upon by other captains.

Brim was dissatisfied and wanted to say something else, but he was pressed by Bajilipi.

Seeing this, the first captain Adrianx looked at Drax and found that the commander of the army had no intention of speaking. He knew his old friend's temperament well, so he came out to smooth things out: "Although Cosenza's team is huge, we also have tens of thousands of soldiers and a fortress as a barrier. According to Lord Davers, 'If the siege party does not have the strength of the defender's army, it will be difficult to easily capture it.' What's more, the army led by Lord Davers will arrive soon!"

Obviously, the loudness of the name Davers made Brim lose his desire to refute.

At this time, Dracos saw that the hall had returned to quiet and began to say, "Spitt, how are the training situations of the two thousand new Dionian free people who are given to you?"

Tspit said with satisfaction: "These free people sent by the Senate seem to have been strictly selected, and have undergone many military training to obey orders better. Archery and javelins are their strengths, and they can withstand a short fight. I have organized them into a team, and they can play a role in defending the city."

"That's good." Dracos, although he was satisfied, had no smile on his face. He continued with a calm face: "Given the narrow and small walkway of the newly built wooden walls, it cannot accommodate too many soldiers. When the enemy attacks, fight, you lead the light infantry brigade and the two thousand free people on the wooden wall to carry out uninterrupted long-range attacks on the attacking enemies until the enemy approaches the city wall. You immediately command them to retreat under the wall, and let the archers continue to use their shots to kill the enemies and disrupt their attacking rhythm."

"Legislative Commander, don't worry! Hades will protect my brigade. I'm afraid it's not your turn to fight, and the enemy will be defeated by my brothers!" Zpitt said confidently.

Dracos was happy to see his subordinates have such fighting spirit, but he would not appreciate and encourage him like Davers, or even joke to liven up the atmosphere. He just nodded slightly, did not respond, looked around the other captains, and continued to express his battle plan: "After Tspit's troops retreated to the city, the first and second brigades and the Bissinian soldiers quickly came to the city! The first and second brigades defended the wooden walls on the south, and the Bissinian soldiers defended the north, and did not leave any gaps for the enemy's attack!

Third, the Fourth Brigade, as a reserve team, is waiting under the city. Once the danger is discovered, go to support immediately!

Fifth, the Sixth Brigade stayed in Bissinia City!...Do you all understand your mission?!"

"I understand! Brutus is on the way, we Bissinian soldiers will never let a Kosenza climb onto the wooden wall!" The young and patriotic Krem responded first, and he also made a promise to Dracos on behalf of Baguilipi and the silent Brim.

"Legislative Commander, this is unfair! Our fifth and sixth brigades also want to go to the fortress to kill the enemy!" The sixth brigade captain Trotilas shouted loudly.

Although the fifth captain did not speak, the lost expression on his face also explained everything.

Dracos said toughly: "This is an order!"

"But--" Trotilas wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Adrianques: "Trotilas, you must understand that Bissinia is very important to us! If the Kosenza people break through the fortress, Bissinia you stationed will be the last line of defense to block the enemy's mountain blockade, and it is also the base for us to welcome the army led by Lord Davers!"

In order to wake him up, Adrianx did not hesitate to be a "crow's mouth". Trotiras was just an impulse, not a fool. He immediately understood what Adrianx meant: If there were no soldiers in Bissinia to testify, if there were repeated recurrences, the Third Legion would be cut off, not only would it fall into great danger, but it would also completely fail the offensive plan formulated by Lord Davers!

"I... accept the order." Trotilas replied immediately.

…………………………………………………………

"Woo!... Woo!..." The sound of Bruty's horn came from afar.

Zpitt held the wooden wall squadron and looked out: the originally yellow-green grass in front was covered with dense enemies, like a black tide rushing towards the city wall...

It should be said that the array of the Brutis was relatively neat and tight, not as loose as the Lucanians. Two hundred meters away from the fortress, the Brutis stopped moving forward.

"Catch the slaves and fill those traps for me!" Pi Anlun ordered expressionlessly.

Two thousand slaves, mainly Greeks who had been plundered from Great Greece over the years, came to the front of the formation with their spears with sacks filled with soil, and began to tremble and move forward...

"Captain, they entered the trap area!" The soldier next to Spitt reminded in a slightly anxious manner.

Tspit looked at him, smiled, and said, "You are a recruit, don't worry, let more enemies enter the range."

One slave threw down the sack on his back, turned around and ran away. The other slave then threw the sack in the gap next to him...one by one, the scene was both tense and a little chaotic. Sometimes, the slave accidentally stepped on the trap and made shrill screams, prompting the slaves to put the sack even more nervously.

However, the supervisory warriors not only used a whip to beat the slaves who were perfunctory, but also stabbed them to death with a spear in serious cases.

Faced with the threat of death, the slaves did not dare to be lazy, and ran to the back of the array obediently, then carried sacks to continue paving the way.

"Arrow ready!" Tspit felt that time was ripe and raised his right arm.

More than 500 archers from the Seventh Battalion, two thousand free men stood on a four-meter-high wooden wall, drawing bows and arrows one after another.

80 meters, it is within the range of the bow and arrow! After Zpitt recited a few chants of Hades, he waved his right hand hard and said, "Let it go!"

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..." The continuous sound of bowstrings, more than two thousand sharp arrows rushed straight into the sky, and in an instant, whistling down evenly among the slave group, suddenly a piece of blood appeared, and the screams continued...

Seeing this, Pi'anlun was moved. It was not because of the death and injury of the slaves, but because of the fact that there were so many archers in the Dionians, and judging from the point of the arrows, the archers' level was not bad.

Could it be that the Dionian army here was not pieced together randomly, but a main force of the enemy?! You should know that the Bissinians who fled to Cosenza told him that there were not many enemies attacking Bissinia, and they should not exceed a thousand! Nikuru, who fled back to Cosenza yesterday, increased the number of enemies by two thousand in his narrative... These information made him still have a considerable confidence in "taking back Bissinia". However, when he came here, a fortress with a beginning scale had already surprised him. The Dionians only had one round of arrows, which made her feel alert.

"Big leader, there are so many enemy archers!" Petalu obviously realized this and said with some concern.

Pi'anlun kept his superficial calm: "Let these Greek slaves continue to consume the bows and arrows of the Dionians, even if they all die!"

The Bruti warriors executed more than a dozen escaped slaves, shocking the others. The slaves were forced to fill the soil again, and ruthless arrows were still shooting from the city walls...
