Chapter 31 Contradiction

The enemy's flying stones were blocked by round shields, and there was no harm to them. The soldiers were still glad that they had found the right method. After advancing ten meters, they were less than fifty meters away from the camp gate.

At this time, the four mailers behind the wooden walls to the west of the mercenaries began to shoot arrows at them. The arrows poured from different angles were not so easy to block them. When they moved the round shield to prevent the bows and arrows shot from both sides, they would be caught on the heads. But they were all gathered in the middle. The mercenary archers and stone casters could concentrate their firepower. The flying stones attacked from all directions like hail, killing dozens of people in an instant. The front team of the Vigs was almost empty, scaring the rest of the people forgot Pixis' lessons and fleeing in all directions. As a result, the mercenary trap made new contributions. In a short period of time, hundreds of people were injured.

No matter how Cincinnager urged, Sedorum said he would not attack.

The mercenaries were very happy to see the enemy fleeing in a panic, but then the enemy stopped attacking and they were dissatisfied. After all, the main purpose of repelling the enemy's attack was to light infantry companies and traps. They didn't even touch a hair from the enemy, so they were dissatisfied and began to shout loudly...

Seeing this situation, Davers nodded secretly: The morale of the army is available!

He did not expect that the enemy would pursue and attack with a fierce momentum, and even the trench in front of the camp did not break through, and it came to an abrupt end so quickly. After thinking about it carefully, he understood that after the previous battle, the Lucanians had consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, and it was estimated that they could continue to maintain a strong desire for attack under the stimulation of victory and revenge. In fact, these mountain tribes were not good at siege in the siege, and after suffering setbacks in front of the strong defense of Davers mercenaries, they would naturally calm down.

Davers analyzed the battle situation and added experience to future defense operations. At the same time, he sent Ascesters through the corridor to Dracos and their camp to observe the battle situation.

The news of the reward is also gratifying: influenced by the enthusiasm of the Expeditionary soldiers to build camps, Dracos, Adrianques, and Sesta led the soldiers to dig deeper trenches outside the camp and strengthen the walls. Although there was no complicated and complicated traps (which required some technical ability and experience), it was enough to make the pursued enemies suffer. After all, Tarantum reinforcements also retreated into their camp, which helped the defeated mercenaries and restored their morale quickly.

Niutum and the Lausian soldiers attacked for a while, and after suffering some casualties, they found that the mercenaries had a tight defense and could not go down in one go, so they naturally gave up the attack. They were obviously smarter than Pikosses who were determined to take revenge.

After safety was guaranteed, Davers' attention no longer focused on the battlefield that had gradually calmed down. He needed to calm down and think: What should mercenaries do next?

The battle failed, and it was probably quite difficult for the Lukari to capture the city of Turiyi. Davers visited many times. The six-meter-wide moat and ten-meter-high wall were already difficult for the Lukari who lacked siege equipment and siege experience. Moreover, they did not have ships and could not come and go freely on the Krati River.

The Lucanians would never mobilize themselves just to win a battle. Their purpose should be to occupy the Sobari plain, build camps on this flat and fertile land, grazing cattle and sheep, and growing wheat...

The Turiyi people suffered huge losses in the two battles before and after, and were obviously unable to counterattack the Lucanian invasion for the time being, but they still had the plains on the south bank of the Krati River, and could temporarily endure, accumulate strength, and recruit soldiers to counterattack...

But the situation was not very good for Davers' mercenaries on the north bank of the Krati River. The failure of the battle not only affected his next plan, but also became the target of the Lucanians' focus on attack. At the same time, Davers was unwilling to become a chess piece of Turiyi to restrain the Lucanians' attack on the north shore. But he could not accept it by leading his army out of here and leaving Greece! His just-founded hope, his dream, and his ambitions were all here! Davers could not tolerate his own way of leaving without success and fought for survival again!...What should I do? What should I do?...

………………………………

What to do is Vespa, the leader of Lucania who occupied the city of Amendorara. He was lucky enough to finally respond to Grumentum's order and sent troops to the war. He also wanted to wait for the result of the war between the two armies before deciding to stay or stay. So when he learned that the Lucanian tribal coalition had more than 15,000 troops and easily defeated Turiyi, he panicked and hurriedly recruited several elders to discuss countermeasures and asked the priests to divine good and bad luck. The result of divination was: There was no danger. This made Vespa, who had a preliminary countermeasure after fierce discussions, was slightly calmer.

He sent an envoy and a small team of soldiers to march towards the Sobari plain, hoping to get a little understanding of the Great Chief of Grummentum through the friendly way of rewarding the Lukari tribe coalition, laying some foundation for the subsequent accusation of guilt. If the envoys find that the situation is not good, they can only escape back to the mountains at night.

……………………………

After suffering setbacks, Cincinnag was still unwilling to give up and sent people to investigate the mercenary camp on the east, south and north sides. The result was frustrating: not only were there traps, trenches, whistles, and deer forts, but there was also a corridor in the north that connected to the camp next to it, so you could get support at any time.

Only then did he give up, he took his tribe down, and waited for the arrival of Akpiru.

After waiting for a long time, Akpiru led a large army to arrive. After all, six thousand troops were sent out to pursue the defeated Turiyi, and it was not easy to gather these soldiers who had risen to death again.

The Grummentum soldiers killed no more of the defeated soldiers outside the city of Turiyi. Some of the soldiers were even red-eyed and forced to cross the moat and came to the city of Turiyi. As a result, the Turiyi people who were united in the city wall were angrily attacked with arrows, javelins, and stones, and fled back in a panic, which made them calm down.

Seeing this, Akpiru temporarily took a break from winning the city of Turiyi, so he had to reorganize the team and rush to join the other teams. However, when he saw that most of the Picoses soldiers were injured, he was shocked and asked why.

Cincinnag told him how his tribe members fought bravely, and the mercenaries against him were very despicable and cunning... and then, he also accused the Vigs of passive and lazy warfare and even killed the Lucanians during the battle.

The chief of Vig City Sedorum did not expect that the evil man would complain first. He was anxious and shouted for his wrongdoing. He also defended with grief and anger: "Captain Akbiru, you must know that it is not that I am unwilling to fight with all my strength. The chief of Cincinnager is too confident and believes that the bravery of the Picoses warrior is enough to defeat the Greek left wing. He arranged the Vigs warrior in the back and the right wing. I have no choice. On the contrary, when Picoses' front line was about to collapse, it was our Vigs warrior who attacked bravely to help Picoses stabilize.

The battle situation saved our right wing, so our Vigres made great contributions to the victory of this battle! As for the killing of Picoses warriors, it was because Picoses' defeated soldiers were storming the formation of the right wing. In order to prevent defeat and force them to fight again, they had to make a choice. In fact, not many Picoses were really injured. It was precisely because of such an urgent method that the right wing finally repelled the enemy. When attacking the Greek camp, our Vigres warriors also killed and injured hundreds of people..."

"You nonsense! You nonsense! If you Brutis were not willing to work hard at the beginning, how could we fight so hard! It was just now when you attacked the Greek camp, you Vigs arrived at the end!" Cincinnag shouted angrily: "Geninath, tell everyone, how many warriors did the Vigs kill and hurt us?!"

Geninath hesitated for a moment, and under the staring eyes of his father, he said hesitantly: "About... about one hundred and fifty people, all of whom are stabbed by a spear behind them."
