Chapter 525 The Great Victory at Hibernian
However, Dionysius was concerned about the security of his rear, and strictly ordered the Locris to be on guard against the Ligems and to forbid any more sneak attacks on Medema.At the same time, the Locri army will also help the Trina garrison to prevent the Dionian army from appearing on the Euphemia plain through Knapetia.Therefore, Locri's main force was forcibly pinned in the city of Medema by Dionysius.

Diopantos felt very aggrieved.But when the news came that "the Syracuse Navy was defeated twice by Dionia", Diopantos had to be more vigilant: because Dionia, which has maritime superiority, may pass through the fleet Project his army to the rear of the battlefield - Silitium, Hibernian, Trina, Corunnia, and even Locri. You must know that most of Locri's soldiers are in Medmar, and a small number are in Medmar. The soldiers followed the army of Syracuse, and the city was very empty.

At this time, he had no intention of going to the front line to fight. In addition to hoping that Syracuse's powerful army would defeat the Dionians and suppress them from dividing their troops to raid the rear, he also paid close attention to the surrounding enemy situation.

Soon, the Cyklian fleet entered Taurana.

Diopantos, who knew the news, became even more nervous, but because Medema's port was blocked by Dionysian warships, he could only send spies to detect the enemy's movements on the other side of the Maro River.

In the morning of this day, Theopantos received a report from the spies: there was something suspicious about the port of Taurina.

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, a few hours later, Hibernian's messenger came from the north and told him anxiously: Lijim's army was preparing to attack Hibernian, and he hoped that Locri's army could rush to rescue him immediately!

Diopantos was already ready.The whereabouts of Lijim and the Dionia fleet had been revealed, but he felt relieved and immediately left 5000 soldiers to defend Medema, and led [-] soldiers to quickly go north.

By noon, his army had entered Hibernian territory.

Feidun did not panic after learning that Lockley's army was attacking.It turned out that after he landed on the Hibernian coast, he sent cavalry to notify the Dionysian army that had landed on the Euphemia Plain yesterday afternoon in accordance with the prior agreement. The Trina people in the empty city of Reina knew that the Dionysian army had defeated the Syracuse army in the battle and had already reached the city of Siliting.

The Lijim Scout Rider immediately rushed to Xiliting and contacted the Dionian army. Only then did Davos send Hilos, Antonios, Hieronymus, and Ledes to lead the army to support.

After Feidun received the good news brought back by the scout, he was not only surprised, but also overjoyed.Therefore, when the reinforcements were about to arrive, he did not panic when facing the reinforcements from the Locri people, but secretly rejoiced.

While he sent a reconnaissance cavalry to notify the Dionian reinforcements on the way, he set up a formation outside Hibernian City.

An hour later, Lockre's army arrived outside Hibernian.

When Theopantos saw that the Rhygim were ready, he was not afraid because he had a large number of troops. After forming a formation, he immediately launched an attack.

Feidun originally considered using the tactic of luring the enemy, but it would be difficult for the Lijim army, which had not conducted military training several times a year, to do such a difficult tactic well.Being serious about his work and daring to fight tooth and nail, he simply chose to fight head-on with real swords and guns, and he was at the forefront of the battle.

The Lijim people, whose strength was only half that of the enemy, were naturally no match. After fighting for a while, they were finally defeated because of the enemy's fierce attack on both wings. The soldiers threw off their helmets and armor and fled north.

Theopantos did not intend to let these Ligim troops go.In fact, during this period of time, he was annoyed by the Lijim army led by Feidun, because the Lijim citizen soldiers, who had always been relatively squeamish, turned out to be quite resilient under the leadership of Feidun, even after experiencing the siege of Mai. Dema suffered a disastrous defeat when they were raided by the Lokli people. After returning to Taurina, the Ligim people still crossed the river to harass them from time to time.

This time is a rare opportunity. The Ligim are trapped in the land between Hibernian and the Ramato River, with nowhere to escape. Theopantos can annihilate this big trouble in one fell swoop and achieve brilliant results. , gain a reputation for yourself.

Therefore, he led his soldiers in hot pursuit and did not give the Ligim any buffer time to prevent them from taking the opportunity to run to the warships on the seaside and escape from Hibernian.

Theopantus's idea is wonderful, but unfortunately the information he and Feidun know is not equal.

Trina's Syracuse garrison general didn't send someone to inform Hibernian that night after learning that his side had suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle last night. When the team was divided, the garrison general simply did not send a messenger because he believed that the troops returning to Hibernian would tell the news to their home state.

Unexpectedly, not far after crossing the Ramato River, the returning force encountered Lijim's landing force north of Hibernian City and was quickly defeated.Feidun sent a small group of soldiers to chase after the rout, and most of them moved south quickly and surrounded the city of Hibernian.But before that, the Hibernians who learned that the Ligim had landed had sent a messenger for help to Medema. Therefore, by mistake, Diopantos did not know that "Dionia defeated Scythia." "Lakuza Army" is very important news, or even if he knows it, he will step up the attack in order to solve the big trouble of Lijim before the Dionians go south, because he relies on his previous battlefield experience, I would never believe that the Dionians, who just ended the battle last night, would be able to come to Hibernian in such a short period of time.

But that's how the "miracle" happened.After accepting Davos's order, Dionia's reinforcements quickly set off as a team. Halfway through, they received an urgent messenger from Feidun. Hilos, Antonios, Hieronymus, and Ryder After a short discussion, Si formulated a battle plan.They sent reconnaissance cavalry to Trina to inform Sipulos, and at the same time urged the troops to speed up their march.

Since the morning, the Dionian soldiers who had been marching most of the time were already a little tired at this time, but the veterans of the First Legion set an example and took the lead in executing the military orders at the front of the team. They also heard that after arriving in Hibernian , there was a victory waiting for them, and the nearly [-] Bruti recruits immediately took great strides.

By the time the Dionian reinforcements crossed the Corta River, a tributary of the Ramato River, and entered the Hibernian territory from the east, the Locris had already pursued the Ligim and driven them to the coast and Ramato A small area between rivers.

Although the Dionysian fleet was parked here, the panicked Lijim troops had no time to board the ship. Seeing that they were about to be driven into the sea by the enemy who were pressing forward step by step, a thousand special forces led by Sipulos Lina's soldiers crossed the Ramato River and launched an attack from the front.

The Locri people were shocked. They thought that the city of Trina on the other side of the Ramato River was the garrison of Syracuse. Unexpectedly, it was the Trina people who came, catching them off guard.

Although the strength of the troops is far less than that of the Lokri reinforcements, the Lokri people have already scattered in all directions after a long period of pursuit. The Linas' attack pierced through the front, and just as Diopantos gathered the scattered soldiers urgently to prepare to deal with this new threat, deafening shouts of "Hades" sounded from the rear of Locri's army. Voice.

The Brutian troops led by Hieros, the Brutian troops led by Hieronymus, the first legion led by Antonios, and the cavalry legion led by Ledes, with a total of more than 15000 people, marched with rumbling footsteps, with great generosity. The front was facing the side and rear of the Lokli people and was crushing towards them.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, the scattered Locri people were demoralized to the extreme. They fled in all directions before engaging in the battle. The only task left for Hilos was to pursue, and for the Dionysian army, pursuing Defeat soldiers, they are the most experienced.

To the north is the Ramato River, to the west is the sea, to the northeast are the Trina people, and to the southeast is the army of Dionia. The sailors of the Sekerian fleet also disembarked and participated in the pursuit from the southwest, plus they There were more than 1000 cavalry, and the Locris were almost surrounded... In the end, more than 9000 people were captured, and less than 1000 people escaped from Dionia's pursuit. This did not include Diopantus, although he had already He had thrown away his helmet, but his dazzling breastplate specially made to show his difference from ordinary citizens became the target of attention and pursuit by the Dionysian cavalry, and thus he failed to escape the pursuit of the cavalry.

When Xiros, Antonios and the others saw Feidun, he was concentrating on cleaning up the battle wounds of Lijim's wounded soldiers.

Hilos and Antonios looked at each other.

Antonios took a step forward and shouted with a little respect: "General Feidun!"

Only then did Feidun raise his head from his busy work and saw the soldiers wearing purple and red crowns in front of him. He hurriedly wiped his bloody hands on the Yama breastplate and told the soldiers beside him Continue to deal with it, then quickly stood up and praised loudly: "Generals of Dionysia, you came too timely! In this battle, you completely defeated the main force of the Locri people!"

"No, General Feidun, you are wrong." Antonios' words stunned Feidun, and then he heard him say: "This is a victory achieved through the joint efforts of Dionia, Lijim, and Trina! This is a glorious victory for our South Italian Alliance!"

Feidun smiled: "You are right!" This victory suddenly relieved Tao Ruina's pressure, and his mood became happy.
