Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

This angered the Serinus people, and they shouted angrily: "As long as the Carthaginians dare to leave, Serinus will immediately surrender to Dioria!"

Hearing this threat, Millefio hesitated again.

Just as the two sides could not dispute, the soldiers of the Eighth Army had landed under the city of Serinus.

After hearing the news, Millefio, who had climbed to the head of the city, saw an enemy outside the city wearing a black helmet and black armor, with a neat military appearance and strong morale. The scene of chasing couldn't help but feel chilly, and he lacked confidence in whether he could lead this remnant army out of the city to repel the enemy, or successfully avoid the enemy's attack, and return smoothly to Lili.

After an urgent discussion with the equally stern team officials, Millefio decided to stay in the city and urgently dispatched a messenger to Lilifeng for help.

The messenger rushed to Lilifang, reported to Monte Adno that "The Dionysian army is marching towards Serinus, and the return of the forces led by Millefio has been cut off", and told Serinnu Sri Lanka now has tight military supplies and hopes that Monte Adno can send troops to rescue.

Monte Adorno, who had been slightly relieved from yesterday’s fiasco, did not make sarcasm as Millefio envisioned. On the contrary, he considered the punishment of the Senate for his defeat, thinking about his own life, He had to restore his relationship with Millefio, so he immediately made a rescue order to let the generals quickly recruit the army, and this time he would personally head for the rescue to Serinus.

But this time, including the time spent in the middle, was enough for Dionysian to rush to Serinus, so Monte Adno met the Dionysian army waiting to be arrayed outside the city. Only to fight daringly.

The bugle sounded, and it was not long before the two sides fought, and the low morale Numibian soldiers quickly retreated.Although this time fighting in a wide area, the ability of the Numibian cavalry was exerted, but it did not affect the overall situation at all.

The reinforcements led by Monte Adno were defeated, and they fled back to Lilifang. The Dionysian army suffered a slight loss, and Millefio, who was standing at the head of the city to watch the battle, completely rested his thoughts of attacking from the city.

And Leotizides did not allow the soldiers to desperately pursue the defeat of Monte Adno, but also allowed the army to build a camp outside the city of Serinus, it seems that this once led to Carthage and Syracuse The culprit of more than a decade of war was the complete siege of the city-state.

During this period, Monte Adno, who fled back to Lili, did not give up his efforts. He sent a messenger to Palermo, and ordered Hasdrobba to lead the Iberian troops to rescue Serinus.

Hasdroba hadn't listened to Monte Adnor's orders very much, and now he heard that Carthage's main force was defeated by the Dionysians while taking advantage of his strength, and he even ignored Monte Adnor. .

Poor Millefio watched the Dionysian camp outside the city expand day by day, firmer by day, and even heard the spies report "The Dionysians built a super siege tower in the camp". His mood is naturally Anxiety day by day.

The only good news is that Dionysia’s blockade on the sea is not yet tight, and the Clippers sent by Serinus have repeatedly escaped the enemy’s interception and went to Carthage for help.

A few days later, the Carthage Senate finally stopped the debate and reached a resolution: to withdraw the post of commander of the army of Monteadno Carthage and take it back to Carthage for trial.The Iberian Governor Marco was appointed as the new commander of the army.During his absence, a veteran, Pomirka, temporarily took over his post and urgently handled the affairs of the Sicilian army.

Pomirka, he is neither part of the Margonides nor close to Hanno, but belongs to the neutral school of the Senate.However, he is different from Isyaluba. He has a good relationship with the other two factions. Perhaps it is for this reason that his election as the commander-in-chief is also recognized by most veterans.

Immediately after being appointed, Pomilka rushed to Lilifang by boat, announcing the decision of the senate to Monte Adno. It was expected that Monte Adno, who had this result, would be detained by the guards without resistance. As Carthage's prestigious family patriarch, his resistance and even escape will seriously affect the future of his loved ones and the reputation of his family.

Pomilka personally sent Monte Adno to the port.

Before boarding the ship, the sullen-faced Monte Adnor could not help but remind: "...Dionynia is different from the enemies we have encountered before, their soldiers fight bravely, and their generals are also very cunning, and The combat strength of our Numbian troops is really worrying, so even if you have more troops than you, you must be vigilant when fighting!..."

Pomirka thanked him for his reminder.

In the end, Monte Adnor sighed: "The Senate has been worried for so long, and still let the leader of the aliens become the commander of the Carthage army! This is not a good thing for Carthage!"

Pomilka watched Silent as he boarded the passenger ship silently, and then he turned back to Lilili Bicheng. The next thing he had to do was to resolve the conflict between the Carthage and Iberian fleets. .

Since the Iberian fleet was established by the Margonide family, Marge did not want this fleet to be controlled by the Senate, so Admirka, the fleet leader of the Margonide family, was unwilling to take The fleet belongs to the Carthage fleet and is under the command of the fleet commander Annobas.

On behalf of the commander-in-chief, Pormirka invited Anlobas and Admika to discuss at the commander-in-law's mansion, and solemnly announced to them the decision of the senate: the Iberian fleet accepts the commander of the Carthage fleet The command of Annobas is a prerequisite for agreeing that Marco will take over as commander of the Carthage army.

Admika looked at Ambalos, who gave him a friendly smile.

Admika was not distracted by his smile. He heard from Marco when he was in Iberia that Annobas was not friendly to Margonides.Of course, he used to be close to the Margonide family in the Senate, so he became the commander of the Carthage navy when Shimirko led the army to attack Syracuse more than two decades ago, and he fought in the naval battle. China defeated the main fleet of Syracuse, led by Leptinis. However, the Carthaginian army suffered a fiasco under the city of Syracuse. In order to survive, the troubled Himilco privately talked with Dionysius. For the sake of confidentiality, Annobas was not informed. As a result, Shimilko led a close believer to successfully escape in a dozen ships, and the Carthage fleet led by Annobas was besieged in the large port of Syracuse, almost lost. After all, under the desperate rescue of his men, he took a clipper and barely escaped his life.From then on he hated the Margonides and became a neutral.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that the Senate will continue to hand over the important task of commanding the Carthage Fleet to check and balance Marco who has mastered the powerful military power.

Although Admika knew Marco’s desire for the position of commander of the Carthaginian army, he felt uneasy to return the Iberian fleet to Anbass.However, the loss of the naval battle not long ago killed a lot of his sting, he did not dare to directly object, so he tweeted: "This fleet was built by Master Marco, I cannot make a decision, I must obtain the consent of Master Marco. ."

Pomilka did not impose, but immediately sent a messenger to Iberia to consult with Marco. During this period, he also sent a messenger to Hasdruba stationed in Palamos, hoping that this The young and promising general can lead the army south and rescue the besieged Carthage army.

Pomilka’s modest tone was in line with Hasdruba’s appetite, and he almost immediately decided to lead the team. Fortunately, Kisgo reminded aside: "The enemy was repulsed and the friendly army was saved. Who is it? Perhaps the Senate will think that Pomilka can also command us as commander, so you don’t need Master Marco..."

Hasdrubal listened to the opinions and did not respond to Pomilka, and continued to lead the army to stay in Palermos and watch the battle.

Pomirka has no way to deal with it.

But a few days later, Marco’s reply came: He agreed with Pomilkad’s suggestion that the Iberian fleet should obey the command of the Carthage naval commander Annobas, but requested that Annobas should not intervene in the fleet. management.

Therefore, the Carthage Fleet and the Iberian Fleet were unified under the command of Annobas, bringing the total naval force to about 540 warships, including 432 three-layer paddle warships, which can be described as powerful. .

At the same time, the task that Pomirka gave to Annobas also came: In view of the critical situation of Serinus, Lili Ping must urgently deliver food and soldiers for him, and asked the Carthage fleet to escort the fleet.

In fact, during this time, the Dionysian army has launched several offensives against the city of Serinus, and Millefio has repeatedly sent the Clippers to Lillifon for help, although the Carthage senate has already The first 4,000 mobilized Carthage civic soldiers were transported to Rilipyt, but in view of the current state of the Carthage army, Pomirka did not dare to lead the army to rescue from the ground, he turned his attention to Dioni The relatively weak sub-military forces at sea transported reinforcements to Serinus by sea transportation, and strengthened the defense of Serinus, using it to drag the enemy and consume the enemy’s sharpness, waiting for Marco to lead the army .

However, Annobas has repeatedly rejected Pomirka's request on the grounds that the command of the Iberian fleet has not been resolved, and it is impossible to cooperate on the battlefield, which may lead to failure.The strength of the Carthage Fleet alone is not enough to match the fleet of Dionia.

Although the Carthage fleet has been docked at the city-state military ports on the western end of Sicily, Annobasi has been paying attention to the movement of the Dionysian Sicily fleet and has some understanding of the strength of its fleet.Of course, on the other hand, he is also urging Pomirka to solve the problem of the Iberian fleet as soon as possible.
