Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The crew immediately pulled out their skin shields, lances, and daggers from the pile of silver nuggets, and jumped onto the pier to kill the oncoming enemies.

"They really are enemies!" the leading port official shouted loudly, commanding these freemen on the pier to kill all the enemies who had sneaked in.

It turned out that after the successful invasion of the North Gate by the fleet infantry and the killing into the city, the news of the "Dionysian killing" quickly spread throughout the city, which was defeated by the "Phoenician Allied Forces" from Watergate. The good news of the "Onia Army" is quite the opposite. The officials of the city hall soon realized that the fleet that arrived at the port late at night was problematic, so they urgently sent someone to notify the port.

Since the infantry of the Dionysian Fleet had just entered the city at this time, it had not caused a fierce battle. Although the inner port was in the city, it was located in the most remote place in the south, one south and one north were far apart, so the crew were still No changes were felt in the city, so the port was prepared.

Because of the many benefits promised by the officials of Saros, the labor of the port swarmed up, and the infantry of the fleet were calmly lined up to face the battle, but the battle in the port took place before the city.

The infantry of the Fleet are well-trained, and the Salos freemen who are not a multitude of people can compare with them and quickly give them a lot of damage.

However, the officials of the port constantly organized new labor to surround them, using the advantages of large numbers of people to suppress these foreign enemies on the pier, but at the same time, it also made it impossible to go to the most young and middle-aged areas in the city of Saros at this time. Support the fierce battle in the city.

Dionysia’s troops used to defraud the city were surrounded by the squares and ports of the city, which was extremely unfavorable to them in this stalemate, because the gradually stabilized Sarros mobilized all the people who could fight. Surrounded and attacked them, and they were left alone.

When the counterfeit Carthage fleet was introduced into the Saros waterway, the Dionysian Clipper, which fell far behind, discovered this anomaly and immediately turned around and returned.

In order not to be alarmed by the discovery of the Saros, all ships of the 3rd Fleet were moored in the vicinity of the sea corresponding to the mountain partition between St. Ibinia and the city of Saras. Three flagship fleet.

After learning of this news, Midolades first felt nervous. He was worried that the Saros had discovered the flaws and wanted to deceive the fleet into the inner harbor of the city of Salos to catch the turtle in the urn. At the same time, he was also worried that the fleet Exposing the horse's feet will lead to the ambush of the army walking over the land and deceiving the city, because it is the fleet infantry that he subordinates to participate in this operation, with a total of 1,500 people, just in case... he dare not think down.

At this time, Tigtinos said decisively: "Master Midolades, since the situation has changed, I suggest that the warships of the Third Fleet go south quickly and stop at the beach near the outer port of Saras. With the soldiers of the 9th Legion, quickly disembark and land, and rush to Salos to support your army!"

Midolades listened, and although he was a little emotional, he was still a little worried: "This is too dangerous! In case the Saros have noticed our plan, with preparations, there are multiple Phoenicians near that bay. Once the towns are united, your ninth legion will be surrounded by enemies after landing, and the situation will be very dangerous!"

Tigtinos smiled: "Master Midolades, you are confused. The only Phoenician army on this island has been annihilated by us. My ninth legion is full of 6,000 elite soldiers (another 2,000. The soldiers coordinated with the 2000 fleet infantry to stay in the port of St. Ibania, guarding the captured Phoenician captives, and there were hundreds of fleet infantry responsible for the two wooden bridges), even if they were within the Phoenician territory. March, do they still have the power to stop me!"

The reminder of Tigtinos revived Midolades. He was a little confused just now, but he forgot about it.

So the order was issued, and all warships of the Third Fleet quickly descended south by the weak moonlight and relying on the exquisite skills of the crew.

When they saw the lighthouse at the outer port of Saras flashing in the distance, they knew that the bay was approaching. With the lighthouse as a positioning, the third fleet steadily docked the warship on the beach, and the soldiers of the ninth legion quickly disembarked and assembled.

Such a loud noise naturally caused panic among the people of the outer port of Saras, but Tigtinos did not care. He led the soldiers, following the directions on the map, and marching northward along the lagoon's shore.

On the way, he also unexpectedly encountered the messenger of the fleet infantry who came to the land fraud city for help.

It turned out that after the infantry of the Fleet deceived to open the North Gate, they sent people to the Outer Harbor to meet the Ninth Army. As a result, the soldier found the Outer Harbor calm and could not see the shadow of reinforcements.Afterwards, the Fleet Infantry sent someone to check it once, and it remained unchanged.However, there was a change in the city. After the Sarros surrounded the enemies who had entered the city, the situation stabilized. At this time, they remembered that the North Gate was still in the hands of the enemy, so they organized a group of people. Recapture it.

Only 200 Dionysian infantry guarded the North City Gate. Seeing that a large number of Saros came to them, they felt that the situation was urgent, and they had to send people to the outer port to check the situation. I hope to gain something. The result It happened to meet the Ninth Army.

After getting a general understanding of the situation in the city, Tigtinos immediately ordered the soldiers to march quickly. The outer port was only five miles from the city of Salos. Before they had walked halfway, the soldiers of the Ninth Legion arrived at the north gate soon.

At this time, the Fleet Infantry had been divided into two parts: one part was at the head of the city, tenaciously guarding the device of the suspension bridge (Saros City is close to the lagoon and has a moat); the other part blocked the gate hole and prevented the Saros from closing The city gate, their thin line of defense, was already crumbling under the influence of the Sarros.

Tigtinos rushed to the front without hesitation, leading the soldiers to the north gate, and the commanders also sounded the offensive horn in time.

"Woo!..." The high-pitched trumpet sounded throughout the city, inspiring the fleet infantry in the city, but making the Saros surprised.

The soldiers of the 9th Legion are not Fleet Infantry. They are real Dionysian heavy infantry, wearing black helmets and black armor and holding long shields and short swords (due to night, they can’t see the target clearly, short swords are better than bayonets Effective in killing), violently attacking the Sarros at the gate.

The Sarros saw new enemies pouring into the doorway. They didn't know how many reinforcements the enemies were coming from. The morale was depressed. They didn't stay long before they began to collapse.

Tigtinos did not order the chase, but instead let the soldiers of the Ninth Legion immediately advance towards the place where the fighting sound was the loudest.

Soon, the mighty legionnaire rushed to the bright square and launched a charge towards the Sarros who were besieging the infantry of the fleet.

The Saros collapsed immediately.

The fleet infantry in the center appeared in the eyes of Tigtinos. They saw the arrival of the reinforcements, and finally relaxed. They were all tired and threw down their shield spears. They sat down on the ground and lay over and over again. Full of Saros, some have been completely trampled into meat sauce, and some are still moaning in pain, among them even the elderly and women.

Such a bloody scene shocked Tigtinos, who has experienced countless battles, but he immediately sent 3,000 people to chase these fleeing Salos and gave them orders: to any Salos who appeared on the street Don't talk about killing!

Tigtinos was disturbed by the terrible resistance of the Sarros, and decided to smash them completely.But what he didn’t know is that the Sarros were not as brave as he thought. If the Ninth Army had invaded into the city of Sarros in the first place, the Sarros might have given up resistance long ago, just because the fleet infantry When entering the city of Saros, there were fewer than 1,000 people. Compared with such a large town, this force was not enough to cause shock, and it gave the Saros people hope.

At the same time, Tigtinos sent another 3,000 people to the inner harbor. As a result, the freemen of the harbor had already collapsed, leaving only more than 100 fleet infantry to rescue injured comrades at the pier.

In the second half of the night, the soldiers of the Ninth Legion patrolled various blocks in the city. As long as they met the Saros who were still walking on the streets, they could not help but cut them off.

Tiger Tilos also interrogated the captured Saros people and sent people to arrest the main officials of Saros City Hall.

The courage of the Saros people to fight has long been lost without a trace. They fled home, fearless and even dared to speak out. They could only helplessly hug their families and worship the gods they believed in. Stop silently praying.

Gradually, the entire city was quiet again.

According to the casualty statistics afterwards, in the battle to win the city, the Dionysian army paid nearly 600 casualties (mainly fleet infantry), and the Saros had up to 4,000 casualties, and then counted as defeated and captured Of the 2,000 Salos civics in the Phoenician coalition, the city of Salos lost 25 of its population and was hit hard.

But this is not the worst situation for the Saros.

In the early morning of the second day, Tigtinos sent troops to seize the outer port and waterway, and captured five Phoenician warships that failed to escape.The Third Fleet entered the inner harbour through the water channel, and Midolades and Tigtinos, who were heartbroken for the fleet’s casualties, had negotiated. In view of the strong resistance of the Salos last night and the army’s heavy killing, the two sides In fact, it has become a deadly feud. For the sake of the future security of the army and to deter other Phoenician towns on the island, the two decided to demote all the Saros to slaves and immediately forcibly transported them back to Terry with the third fleet warship. Satisfied.

For the other Phoenician city-states on Sardinia, I just heard yesterday that the Dionysians ransacked Saint Ibinia, and on the second day, the Sarros fled to their towns and asked for help. Say yes: Dionysians captured Saros and are killing Saros.
