Chapter 134: Storming the City of Rome (6)

At this time, Davers walked out of the tent with a worried look on his son's back. He stood there for a moment, but when he turned around, he saw some young staff members showing envious expressions. He thought about it and then smiled, "Who else wants to join the battle?"

"I!"

"I!"

"And me!"

Several young men said hurriedly.

Davers waved his hand: "Go quickly and fight well!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" These young staff members rushed out of the tent happily.

Davers smiled and encouraged the staff members who were still in the account: "These little guys, they are too young to understand that this is the head of our entire army. Our efforts will determine the success or failure of the entire battle! So, boys, in order to win this victory, let us continue to work!"

"Yes, your Majesty!" The restless hearts of the staff were temporarily relieved by Davers.

"Your name is Claunessus, the Amendoralan, from the First Legion?" Davers said, pointing to one of the young men.

"Yes, your majesty, your memory is so good!" The young man was surprised.

"You are responsible for receiving the battle reports and enemy situations to me, and report to me in a timely and accurate manner!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

"Your name is Iritesius, the Castron, from the Second Legion, right?"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

"You are responsible for marking the map."

"yes!"

"Your name is Asinarus, Crotone, from the Fourth Legion?"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

"You are responsible for recording and communicating my orders."

"OK!"

"And you...you...you..." Davers called the names of several other staff members accurately. Seeing that they were all flattered, he said with a smile: "You are responsible for recording and analyzing the situation of the war. If you find any abnormalities or any suggestions, you can ask me at any time!"

"Yes, your Majesty!!"

The staff members who were rioted due to the departure of Tolmeide and Crotokatax resumed their tense and meticulous military affairs, and even worked harder than before.

Davers's mood was a little fluctuating when he looked at them busy.

At this time, Henipolis, who had gone out at some point, walked into the tent again, came to Davers, and whispered: "Maltius sent 30 court guards to protect Cloto's safety."

Davers glanced at him, and his heart was completely at peace. He gently tapped the map with his hand, and then said loudly: Asinarus, immediately let the messenger inform the engineering battalion, the baggage battalion... and other auxiliary personnel in the camp, immediately transfer to the rear of the Second Legion, and standby!"

"Yes!" Asinarus walked out of the tent.

Although Davers boldly drew four brigades stationed in the camp to participate in the battle, it was indeed an adventure. Only two brigades left to stay in the camp. No matter how strong the combat power is, they cannot completely defend such a huge camp. Therefore, the transfer order issued by Davers is for the sake of safety, especially the engineers and skilled craftsmen he treasured cannot be harmed.

Then, Davers issued another order: "Iritesius, check the latest news about Epigenis, confirm his position again, and then calculate his current approximate position based on his march speed."

"yes!"

………………………………………

Thormid had a headache when he left the tent. Of course, this was not because he was about to command nearly 1,000 troops to fight. Although he had never had the experience of commanding more than 1,000 troops to fight, he had rich experience in his military career after all. Since he joined Dionia and entered the Staff Office of the Military Affairs Department, he has been working hard to improve himself: to understand Dionia's previous battle examples, be familiar with and thoroughly understand Dionia's military system and tactics, and further strive to imagine future military reforms and developments... Thormid admitted that he was not as talented as Printols in military affairs, but he believed that he was worthy of the position of staff officer.

What he was worried about was Crotokataks beside him. Although Davers did not say "to take care of his son", if it is recognized, His Highness, the prince who will inherit the throne of Davers in the future, will experience danger, injury, or... he does not think he will have a better life in Dionia in the future.

When 30 court guards arrived at Crotokatax, Thormid had already had an idea. He said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, this time we went to intercept the enemy is related to the success or failure of our entire battle and the life and death of the entire army, so it is very important! You are not a member of other brigades, and have not trained with them, and have no tacit understanding of fighting, so I will not rank you in the forefront of the military formation, but in the back formation. Once the front line cannot resist the enemy's attack, or the enemy is around from the flank, I will ask you to lead the palace guards to block their attack and win time for other troops!"

Although Crotokataks was very young, with Davers' long-term careful teaching, he was not angry. He knew that his sudden joining made Tolmede some concerns, and Tolmede's words made sense, so he nodded immediately and responded: "As for orders, Commander!"

Thormid had little contact with Crotokatax in the past and did not know him. Seeing that this young man was so reasonable, he felt relieved, and at the same time he also had a great impression of His Royal Highness.

The group went straight out of the northwest gate of the camp, and soon the sound of "rumbling" horse hooves sounded behind them... After receiving the order, the two cavalry corps had arrived quickly.

"Tor... Commander, the First (Second) Cavalry Legion arrived at the order!"

Thormid looked at Rides, who often joked and laughed at him, and glanced at Kuchius beside him. At this time, he did not have the intention of joking, but said with a serious expression: "The two legion commanders, a 8,000-man reinforcements from Rome, are coming from the west. Your Majesty asks us to go and block them. We must not let the enemy disrupt our siege plan! Please rectify your troops first, and set off together after the other troops arrive."

The two legion commanders repeatedly said that although they both saw Crotokataks next to Thormid, they were surprised, but did not ask, but turned around and ordered the team officials to gather the cavalry.

After a while, four infantry brigades arrived one after another.

When Crotokatax saw that there was actually the commander of Adoris among the captains who came to report, he couldn't help but feel happy: I heard my father say "father and son soldier in battle" before, but I didn't expect that this time I could fight with my elder brother!

But on such occasions, Crotokatax certainly could not find Adoris again.

After the team gathered together, Thormid immediately led the team to set off. Not long after, they arrived at the west side of the southwest corner of the Roman wall. The two battalions of the Fourth Legion who were notified of the messenger also arrived quickly. Now Thormid's army has six infantry brigades, four of which are heavy infantry brigades and two light armored brigades. After all, the light armored brigades are weak in defense and are at a disadvantage in frontal attack, so several legion commanders asked the light armored brigades to stay in the camp.

From the detective cavalry, he learned that the enemy was still a mile away, Thormid breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the central camp of Dionia occupied a large area. The Romans detoured from outside. He led the troops directly to the inside line. Although he set out from behind, he still rushed in front.

Thormid immediately began to arrange the army formation: he asked the Fourth Legion, the Fifth Legion and the Sixth Legion to be located on the left, middle and right three routes in the front of the army formation, another battalion of the Fourth Legion and the Sixth Legion to be located behind it, the Second Legion to be located behind the middle, the First and Second Cavalry Legion to be located on the left and right wings. The length of the entire middle road formation will be determined by the situation of the enemy army formation.

Thormid arranged a simple formation, but for such a hurry-piece unit of ten thousand people, the simpler the formation, the more conducive it is to their battle.

The infantry and cavalry quickly began to set up their formation under the command of the team officials. Crotokataks and the palace guards were located at the last row of the Second Legion. During the arrangement, he saw Adoris, and Adoris was also surprised that his younger brother appeared here. However, the two brothers only had a slightly intersected eyes and quickly followed the instructions to go to the position he should stand.

As soon as Dionia's army was lined up, he saw that the Roman army had appeared in the distance. Thormid did not wait for the Roman army to come, but directly ordered the entire army to advance.

…………………………………

Yesterday, Paulus and Meggus led the army all the way east, passed Satneycomb and Vilitre, and entered the Lake Alba area at dusk, and stopped moving forward and let the army stationed. While filming the spies and reconnaissance of the Dionians, Meggus led people to visit all villages and towns in the area overnight, hoping that the Latin compatriots in this area could support them, fight the invaders, and rescue Rome.

The next day, many Latin warriors came one after another in the Alba area. According to Paulus and his statistics, there were 3,000 people. This place was the first to be conquered by Rome and had the closest relationship with Rome, but this was also the best efforts the Alba Latins could do.

The Roman reinforcements, whose number increased to more than 8,000, caused differences between the two generals.
