Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Send someone to check it out!" Imiseray felt even more uneasy, and he ordered loudly: "Send another 300 light infantry to rush me to the opposite city immediately."

"Yes, lord!"

…………………………………………

While Terentus led ten mountain reconnaissance members to the lighthouse, the other members rushed to the small military camp not far from the temple, just hitting the Carthage team officers who checked out the situation.

More than 10 years after the construction of Lili Pian, the alarm bell at night has never sounded. The awakened Carthage team officer even thought it was the tower guard’s mistake, so he was stabbed without guard.

When more and more mountain scouts rushed into the barracks, some of the Carthage soldiers were wearing armor, some just got up, some were even sleeping... so this became a massacre.

After the team members easily resolved the Carthage soldiers, they immediately ran to the lighthouse.

The mountain reconnaissance team that Davis left in Katane was originally 500 people. During the attack on Syracuse, there were more than 100 casualties, so 360 people participated in the operation, of which 160 people The port area is being disturbed, and the remaining 200 people are gradually climbing the embankment, and eventually they will all enter the lighthouse.

In the tower, Terentus saw more and more comrades gathered around him, and he couldn't help but be arrogant: he led the mountain reconnaissance team through the Taipo River and dived into the sewers, making an important contribution to the final capture of the city of Rome; During the sneak attack on Keslera, the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade as the pioneer, he took the lead in seizing the city head; in the Siege of Siracusa, he led the team members to first capture the Fortress of Yuri Rus, in order to capture The whole city opened the door to victory; now the port lighthouse is occupied and the water gate is opened, and the task has been completed, but he is somewhat dissatisfied.

"Brothers, follow me to grab the checkpoint in front of the city wall to win a bigger achievement!" Terentus shouted and the players responded in unison.

He left 10 team members to guard the lighthouse and led more than 100 team members through the lighthouse into the city wall walkway.

A group of people ran forward along the aisle, hitting the oncoming Carthage light infantry on the way.

In the dark night, these Carthage soldiers heard the clutter of footsteps in front of them, and thought that the soldiers in the small barracks had gone to the city and were unprepared. They didn't find out that they were the enemy until they collided together.

These Carthage light infantry had no other weapons besides bows, arrows, javelins and daggers. How could they be opponents of mountain scouts with leather shields and daggers, and they were quickly defeated.

On the way back, they shouted in horror: "The enemy killed the city!!! The Dionysians came in!!!"

As the broken soldiers approached the tower gate, their shouts clearly passed into Ymiseret’s ears, which made him a little panicked because it meant that the Dionysians occupied the natural breakwater and occupied Beacon, they can control the water gate, and then let the Dionysian warship enter the port!Let the Dionysian army land in the port!

Imiserre had no time to think about how the Dionysians occupied the lighthouse. He thought that the Dionysian fleet and troops were likely to strike soon, and he would inevitably panic without too much combat experience. There is only one thought in my mind: Do not let the Dionysians come into the city!

So he shouted very nervously: "Hurry to close the tower door, don't let the Dionysians come in! The port gates of the port are not allowed to open without my order! Hurry to close..."

When the Carthaginians built the port of Lilithium, they thought about it more carefully. At the place where the natural breakwater is connected to the land, it was blocked with a wall. Only the city wall passed in the middle, and a tower was built on each side of the city wall. If you want to enter the natural breakwater, you can only enter it through the walkway in the city, and the two towers are the tallest of all Lili Peng towers, which are four meters higher than the city walls.Moreover, the Carthaginians also built a gate here with the walkway as the base and the towers on both sides, both to control the entry and exit of the natural breakwater, and just in case.

In fact, at this time, the Carthage soldiers had already entered the two towers. After hearing the sound of fighting and then screaming from the opposite wall, the cautious team officers quickly ordered the soldiers to temporarily shut down. Tower gate, wait until you understand the situation.

Imisely heard that the tower door was closed, and he was calm, he quickly issued an order: "Go to inform General Sakados of the Southeast Barracks and ask him to allocate 2,000 soldiers to come here!"

"Send someone again to urge Ragnaca to let him hurry up and bring troops!"

After giving these orders, he was still uneasy. After thinking about it, he said to his most trusted hand: "You rushed to the horse and rushed to see Master Marco, saying that the port of Lilibe was met by Dioni The landing attack of the Asians hopes that he will immediately send troops to rescue!"

The Carthaginians closed the gate of the tower, and let the defeated soldiers desperately call the door instead. Instead, they lit multiple torches on the tower, and then let the light infantry occupy the tower, and they were chasing Dionysia, who was chasing Carthage's defeated soldiers, on the front wall. People carry out long-range attacks.

This time, the mountain scouts did not even wear a leather helmet or leather armor for hiding on the cargo ship or climbing. Except for a leather shield, there was no extra protection on the body, and they gathered on a narrow aisle and became a remote The best target for the attack. After a few rounds of bows and arrows, the mountain scouts rushing in front were often injured and even Tyrantus was shot in the left arm.

The pain dispelled the enthusiasm of Terentus, and he hurriedly ordered: let the soldiers retreat and guard the lighthouse.

The Dionysians retreated, but the Carthage soldiers did not dare to open the tower door. They were afraid of an accident. Until the heavy infantry under the city came, Imiserre ordered to open the tower door.

The wall on the natural breakwater is more than 5 meters high. Only through the lighthouse can you go down to the embankment. To recapture the lighthouse, the Carthage soldiers can only pass through the wall walkway, which cannot take advantage of their many soldiers. The connection between the lighthouse and the wall Although there is no door, the lighthouse is more than twice as high as the city wall, so Tarentus let some team members block the entrance and exit of the city wall, and others went to the small military camp to pick up the enemy’s javelin, bow and arrow, and then went to the stone window on the upper floor of the tower. Before, attack the Carthage infantry attacking below, thereby reducing the impact of the Carthage heavy infantry on the entrance of the lighthouse.

Terentus now regrets: The Carthaginians of Lilitan are not like Keslera and Syracuse. They responded quickly to the night assault. Knowing this, he should not worry about conquering the tower. For the door, you should seize the time and use the door panel or other things to first block the entrance of the city wall and the lighthouse.

Nowadays, the two sides have formed a bullish trend, which is very unfavorable to the mountain reconnaissance brigade. In the space where there is little dodge, heavy infantry and light armor are fighting directly. Naturally, the mountain reconnaissance team has a large number of casualties, but even if the casualties continue to increase, the mountain reconnaissance team has taken a step. Nor can it retreat, otherwise the Carthaginians will rush into the lighthouse, and the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, at the entrance of the lighthouse and the city wall, the mountain reconnaissance brigade can only fall down, and then top one up, supporting it.

Imiseray was also very anxious, because the soldiers who arrived at the artificial breakwater tower quickly sent people back to report: Many warships were approaching the port!

The main force of the Dionysians is coming!Imisely was very anxious in his heart, and he was very clear: once these warships were brought into the port, it would pose a great threat to Lili Ping.

So he issued a death order to Ragnaca who had already arrived in the city: the lighthouse must be recaptured as soon as possible and the water gate closed!

Despite shouts and chaos in the port area, both sides actually focused their battles on the lighthouse.

Ragnaca received the order, but did not immediately put the 5,000 soldiers he led into the attack on the lighthouse, because the Carthaginian soldiers who had previously attacked had been lined up in the natural breakwater wall walkway. No matter how much the soldiers behind him put in, they could not threaten the enemies in the lighthouse, so he quickly ordered his hands to go down to find the rope so as to hang down from the city wall, so that the soldiers could go down to the embankment and attack the lighthouse from below. Second, it can prevent the Dionysians from continuing to land on the embankment.

……………………………………

Since the Sicilian fleet is cruising in the western waters every day, every warship is familiar with the sea conditions near Lili Pui. Under the guidance of the lighthouse, their speed has risen to the highest level, and it slowed down slightly until it approached the water gate. , One by one next to the side of the lighthouse, and enter in turn.

At this time, the Carthaginian archers in the tower connected to the opposite water gate continuously fired rockets at the Dionysian warship that entered the water gate, and under the darkness of the night, the light sprinkled to the sea, which was really beautiful.

But the personnel on the Dionysian warship felt nervous. The soldiers on the deck erected long shields to cover the rockets, while also cleaning them into the sea to prevent the warship from being ignited, and the sailors in the cabin again. Accelerate the oars so that the warship can escape the bow and arrow range.

Originally, according to the plan, the first warship entering the port should go as far as possible, put the warship against the beginning of the natural breakwater, and then arrange it in order, so that the soldiers of the legion can land on the embankment together, and the squadron command Stefa Cass's ship is to lead the task.

But when he saw that the Carthaginians were fighting in front of the lighthouse on the wall, the watchman reminded him that the Carthaginians on the wall in front were hanging down the rope.

He immediately realized the urgency of time. When the ship was about to lean towards the embankment, the bow bridge was turned, and the 12-meter wooden bridge easily laid on the embankment, just like the third fleet passed the Tiber River a few months ago. Like the attack on the west bank of Rome, 50 soldiers of the Second Legion on the battleship quickly climbed across the suspension bridge, washed up the embankment, and intercepted the Carthage soldiers who were coming down the wall.
