Chapter 114: Bruty's Retreat and Elijah's Invasion
Fortunately, behind the wooden wall, there were still mail towers more than one meter taller than the wall, and the light infantry led by Zpite at the city, and the support of bows and arrows and javelins fired by the free people, which made the wooden walls in the southern section still remain basically safe.
Spit shot out with an arrow, and the enemy's chest that broke into the wooden wall. The seemingly thick leather robe was completely penetrated, and the enemy fell to the ground in dejection.
Tspit habitually reached out to get the arrow, but found that the quiver was empty.
"Go and get a new arrow!" Zpipter shook his sore right hand and said to the guard next to him.
After a while, the guard hurriedly ran back and handed him the quiver filled with ten arrows, and said, "Captain, the quarantine officer will save you, there are not many arrows left in his place."
"How could it be used so quickly?!" Zpitt said with a little dissatisfaction.
"I asked him the same, but he said that our light infantry and free people had more than 2,000 archers, each with 20,000 arrows. Now almost all archers have used up one arrow... He also said... He also said, 'Arrows are bought with money, and the price is not low. This time, because our Second Legion had the need for defensive operations in advance, the enemy of Melsis issued us 30,000 arrows, otherwise we would not have wasted it so much!'" The guards passed the message with some grievance.
Although Zpitt was a little angry, the quarantine officer of the baggage team was now under Mercis. When he thought of the stingy fat man, Zpitt felt a headache. He said loudly: "Brothers, there is nothing to worry about when the bow and arrow is used up. We have the reverse blade and spear. Are you right?"
"right!!!"

The stalemate of the siege battle made Pi Anlun very anxious. He turned around and looked at the soldiers resting in the rear, hesitating whether to send the last 5,000 people up. However, the narrow battlefield made the wooden wall too crowded, and no matter how many people were, it seemed useless.
At this moment, he heard the trembling sound of "rumbling..." behind him, followed by cheers.
"The wooden wall collapses! The enemy wall collapses!..." The soldiers beside them cheered and Pi Anlun turned around excitedly and looked: a large gap appeared in the center of the southern section of the fortress wall in front, and the Bruti soldiers were rushing in...
"Don't panic! Don't panic!..." Brim loudly comforted the panicked Bissinian warrior. Bajilipi was too old, and the soldiers in his tribe were led by Bajilipi's nephew. Therefore, among the three leading leaders of Bissinian, Brim was the oldest, the oldest, and the prestige was also high. Although he did not want to fight against the Kosenza people, he had to work hard for the survival of his tribe members when he was on the battlefield.
"Preserve your position, the wall will collapse again if it doesn't come back!" Brim shouted loudly. He knew very well that the gap was caused by the negligence of the soldiers, and the wooden wall was burned by tinder and hit by the wood, which caused the wooden wall to be damaged and the earth pit to collapse.
"Stay ahead! Don't worry about the enemies rushing in. The Dionians are going to deal with them behind them!..." He said this because he had seen the fully armed Dionian soldiers lined up behind the gap in the wooden wall. The Dionian army's rapid and neat maneuver was quite surprised.
For the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Brigades of the Second Legion, the collapse of the wooden wall is a good thing, and they can finally make up for the regret of not going to the city to kill the enemy.
When the Bruti soldiers stepped on the collapsed earth turret, kicked the broken wooden fence, and rushed into the wall, they suddenly found that they were facing countless iron walls surrounded by copper shields and countless sharp spears. Amid the rhythmic sound of war drums, the soldiers of the Dionians steadily fired their guns and retracted their guns. Every stab could take away a life...
The Bruti soldiers who rushed in were unable to form an array with their companions, and they had no team officials to organize them. They could not resist the group attack of the Dionian army by relying on their personal courage. They also had to be wary of arrows shot from the whistle tower and the javelins of the Bissinian soldiers.
In a short period of time after breaking into the wooden wall, the casualties of the Bruti soldiers increased sharply. They were so frightened that they wanted to retreat, but the way back was blocked by the soldiers rushing in excitedly from behind.
The third and fourth teams of the Second Legion advanced steadily, shrinking the encirclement smaller and smaller, causing the Bruti soldiers to be crowded into a group, and it was very difficult to wield weapons.
Pi'anlun was delighted to see many Bruti soldiers rushing into the gap together, but soon the scene there was like stagnation. The soldiers were wandering in the gap but unable to enter, and he felt a little uneasy. Then, he was surprised to see that the Bruti soldiers there suddenly fled in all directions, and a group of Daonian soldiers with bright armor poured out from the gap in the city wall. They took advantage of the situation from the side to attack the other Bruti soldiers who were sieging the city with all their strength. Soon they retreated and were no longer just the point in the gap, but evolved into the entire Bruti offensive line...
Seeing this scene, Pi'anlun felt a little cold and wiped out the luck of victory. He saw that the Dionian army that occupied Bissinia was not just the leader who judged that the leader had only a few thousand soldiers, but was most likely the legion claimed by the Diorians!
"Retreat quickly..." He shouted this sentence in pain.
However, just as he finally gathered the defeated soldiers and returned to the camp in frustration, he received worse news.
"What did you say?! A riot occurred in Cosenza City?!"
"Yes, the Great Chief. Seedum, Sas, Boois... A dozen tribes suddenly led their tribes to attack the inner city early the morning after you led their troops to leave. If not, the leader Kadulke led his team to arrive in time, and I'm afraid they would attack the inner city! Now they have occupied the west of the outer city, and the high priest sent me to tell you quickly, hoping that the Great Chief, you can quickly quell these rebellions and restore peace to the city of Kosenza!" said the messenger anxiously.
"I understand. Go back and tell the high priest that I will immediately bring the army back, so that he will not panic, and defend the inner city with Kadulke first!" Pi'anlun made a decision quickly. In order to monitor and rule these unobedient tribes nearby, the "Seven Elders Council" forced them to move to the outer city of Cosenza after discussion and decision, so that such a situation would occur. This rebellion sounded the alarm for Pi'anlun. The invasion of the Dionians had affected the tribes in the Bruti area, especially those who were previously dissatisfied with the alliance and were forced to surrender. He had to act quickly to avoid worsening the situation.
He asked Petalu to execute the order to decapitate the camp.
Soon, Burgam broke into the tent and shouted excitedly: "Did I hear it wrong? Pi'anlun, you want to go back to Cosenza?! Let these Dionians continue to build fortresses here, and we will leave like this?"
"Elder Burgam, what else can we do in such a bad situation now? Will we continue to attack the fortress?!" Pi'anlun was no longer as anxious as when he heard the news. He calmly asked: "Behind the city wall, there are probably six or seven thousand Dionian soldiers who have been trained, and more than two thousand Bissinian traitors who surrendered to them. In addition to the strongly defended fortress, do you think that we can capture this fortress?! You know, we suffered nearly two thousand casualties in today's battle! Two thousand people!! It is equivalent to most of the Ambalian warriors you brought!"
After hearing this, Burgam sat down dejectedly... For a while, he raised his head and murmured dryly: "Are you just watching the army of Dionia break into our homeland through Bissinia..."
"Then let them come!" Pi'anlun roared, his eyes were bright, and he looked straight at Bergam, walked up and gave him a powerful hug, and said firmly in a hard tone: "We are going back to recruit all the Bruti warriors! We are going to fight the Deonians on the Cosenza Plateau to the death! This battle will determine the rise and fall of the Brutis, and the goddess Amara of the plateau will protect us!"
"Plateau..." Burgam was reminded by Pi'anlun and rekindled his fighting spirit: "Yes, we have the blessing of Amara! We also have the Cosenza Plateau!..."
……………………………
The energetic Cincinnag was surrendered by many tribes in the northern part of Grummentum and marched south smoothly. After arriving in the south, he finally encountered obstacles.
The tribes that had moved from Niutum before were the first tribes to surrender to Dionia. Compared with Picosis, far west of Grummentume, they agreed with Dionia and trusted Dionia more. They drove out the messengers sent by Cincinnag and united to fight Picosis.
Cincinnag was furious and prepared to lead his army to attack these disobedient tribes. However, news came: There was a sudden movement in the city of Grummentum on the north side, and about two thousand Dionian soldiers came out of the city.
This made Cincinnager worried that when attacking the Lucanian tribe in the south, he would be suddenly attacked by the Dionians from the flank, so he had to withdraw his troops.
As soon as Picossis's troops retreated, the Dionians immediately retreated to the city.
This happened for two days in a row, and Cincinnag made a judgment: the Dionians in the city were just acting, and they had neither courage nor intention to attack him.
So he asked Gnenett to take two thousand soldiers to stare at Grummentum City, and led his army to conquer the southern tribes.
At this time, the city of Picosis sent an envoy to tell him a bad news: a thousand Elias invaded Picosis territory, they destroyed the farmland and burned the settlement. Due to limited troops in Picosis, they did not dare to attack rashly and demanded that Cincinnag return to help urgently!
After listening to it, Cincinnag was furious.
