Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After seeing the warships, they also docked one after another, put down the suspension bridge, and a team of Dionysian soldiers boarded the embankment and joined the battle.

Other warships directly bypassed Stefakas' ship and landed on the embankment further in front, attempting to allow legionnaires to surround the enemy from behind.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of Dionysian soldiers appeared on the natural breakwater, and many warships were gradually leaning towards the embankment, and the city of Carthage slowly hung down on the ropes. There were only a few dozen soldiers, and they were still surrounded by siege.

Seeing this scene on the city wall, Ragnaca was shocked, realizing that he could not prevent the Dionysians from landing on the embankment, and immediately stopped the soldiers from continuing to go down the city, and decided to hold the wall of the natural breakwater first.

Then he saw through the fire on the city wall: The Dionysian soldiers coming up lined up in a loose queue according to the wall in front of the lighthouse, and then each made a throwing action, and countless javelins flew up the city head , And then screamed again and again.

Ragnaca panicked that he could throw javelins at Dionysian heavy infantry. He had to change his mind again, let the troops quickly exit this section of the wall, and concentrate their forces to guard the entrance of the natural breakwater-the tower gate.

The Carthaginians retreated, and the mountain scouts who were struggling to support were finally relieved. They had no time to mourn the dead comrades, but hurry up to save the injured comrades, clean up the corpses in front of the lighthouse entrance, and then watched up from the tower The soldiers of the legion rushed to the city continuously.

One player squeezed the shaft that was exposed outside his arm. The other player pointed the arrow with a sharp dagger. Terentus gritted his teeth and nodded at him.

A flash of cold light flashed through, the entire shaft was cut off, and Terentus let out a sigh of relief, gently flicking the left hand of the swollen pain, although the tip of the arrow remained in the arm, but at least it was not too difficult to move.

"Terrentus!" Heavy footsteps sounded behind him, and after turning to see who was coming, Trentus rushed for a military salute: "Captain Martonis!"

"Congratulations on your great contribution to the kingdom! Next, the task of the attack will be undertaken by our second legion. You and your men are here to take care of the wounds, and the medical camp will soon come to treat you." Ma Tonis looked at the arrow wound on his arm and said with concern.

"Yes!" Terentus responded respectfully. He thought for a while and reminded: "Commander Matonis, the tower gate in the walkway in front of the city wall is more difficult to attack than described by the captives of Carthage. The long-range attacks on the towers on both sides threaten the soldiers. Be careful!"

"If you don't attack well, you have to attack. Our time is tight!" Matonis said this, and strode to the city.

Terentus understands the meaning of Matonis’s remark: Lili Pian is too important for the Carthage army, and the attack of the Dionysian army is bound to alarm the Carthage military commander outside the city of Serinus Marco, if you can't capture the city as soon as possible, Carthage's reinforcements will definitely come from Serinus after dawn, and the night raid will be defeated.

With this in mind, Terentus couldn't bear it anymore. He followed Martonis' pace and wanted to watch the Second Army capture the tower door.

Lagnaka led the Carthage soldiers to retreat to the gate of the tower. Imisely rushed to see him. When he saw him, he asked face-to-face and asked, "Why did you retreat without fighting long?! Let the enemy so easily Take control of the lighthouse! Ragnaca, you are afraid to fight, abandon the breakwater, and if Lili misses, you are not afraid of being interrogated by the Senate and crucified?!"

"Adult, the people of the Margonide family regard honor as life, and they will never be greedy for life or death!" Ragnaka responded positively: "The reason I ordered the army to retreat was because of the landing on Dionysia on the embankment. There are too many people, and fighting there is very bad for us. Just in the short battle just now, we lost nearly 200 soldiers. If our troops lost too much on the breakwater, we still have enough troops to defend the whole city. It’s better to retreat to defend here, no matter how many people are brought by the Dionysian warship, as long as you stick to tomorrow, Lord Marco will lead the army and we will win!"

Ragnaca's words reminded Imiseray, he asked, "How many soldiers are coming from Dionia?"

"Nearly 10,000 people!" Ragnaca said as much as possible.

Imisere was shocked, thought for a while, and said decisively: "I will give you the command of the entire Lilly garrison, you must resist the attack of the Dionysians, and stick to the command of Lord Marco. Until it arrives!"

"Please rest assured, I will do my utmost to guard Lili Ping!" Ragnaka said immediately.

As soon as his words fell, the defenders in the artificial breakwater tower sent another person to rush, shouting anxiously: "Report to the Lord, there are a large number of Dionysian warships coming out of the port!"

"What?! Do the Dionysians really intend to concentrate their forces to break Lili Bicheng from the port?!" Imiseray panicked.

Not just him, the team officers and soldiers around were nervous.

After seeing this, Ragnaca smiled confidently: "The Dionysians came by boat, it is impossible to carry large siege equipment, the port area is narrow, and even if there are more soldiers, they will not be able to display it. You guys have a good look. We have such a tall and strong city wall and perfect defensive facilities. Not to mention sticking to one day and sticking to one month, it is difficult for them to break into the city from the port.

"Moreover, it was a good thing for the Dionysians to attack from the port. We all know that during this time, the older brother Marco wanted to fight the Dionysians, but the Dionysians shrank in the city and the camp. There is always no way to avoid the war, and now they are finally here, which gives Master Marco the opportunity to lead the army to annihilate them, and also gives us the opportunity to make a contribution. This battle may determine our victory over Carthage in Sicily. !"

Ragnaca's words encouraged the confidence of those around him, and also made Ymiserei feel that he had made the right decision.

"General, the Dionysians are coming!" the team officer on the tower shouted.

"You, immediately lead 500 soldiers to carry large stones and completely block the tower door for me!"

"You, lead the four teams of soldiers to collect large amounts of tar, wood, and stones, and take them to the tower."

"You, let your archers line up behind this tower gate and be ready to shoot!"

...

Just as Ragnaca did the detailed layout, a unit of the Second Army of Dionynia approached the tower gate in the formation of the tortoiseshell on the wall walkway, and countless arrows bypassed the tower gate, like raindrops. Hitting a long shield must not damage it.

The Carthage Light Infantry on the tower threw a javelin violently on the long shield, and even splashed sparks in the night. A few javelins penetrated the long shield, accompanied by the snorting of the legionnaires.However, with the mutual support of the Dionysian soldiers, the whole formation remained intact.

After approaching the tower gate, after another round of javelin throwing, the captain of Dionia yelled: "Withdraw the shield and throw to the left!"

Too late, then fast, the legionnaires withdrew their long shields in their left hands, and had already thrown out javelins in their right hands. Dozens of javelins flew towards the left tower. They were protruding out of the tower and throwing down the Carthage light. The infantrymen were caught off guard and were slammed, screaming again and again, and even someone fell out of the tower and hit the ground of the port.

After throwing a javelin at the left tower, the Dionysian team did not see the result at all, and quickly threw a second javelin at the right tower, and the javelin attack of the Carthage Light Infantry on the right tower also struck at the same time. The close range and shield protection were too late. Six soldiers of the Dionysian Corps immediately fell in the gun.

"Lift the shield to retreat!" The team leader ordered quickly.

Dionysian soldiers dragged their wounded comrades back while raising their shields.

At this time, several Carthage soldiers appeared again on the left tower, and they threw the clay pots in their hands to the retreating Dionyan soldiers.

The clay pot broke and the liquid splashed.

The faces of the Dionysian soldiers all changed: "It's asphalt! Rewind, rewind!"

Just as the Dionysian soldiers retreated, several burning torches fell near the pottery pot, and a fire wall was lit up, and the Dionysian soldiers who fell behind turned into firemen...

Mattonis, who was standing in the distance, saw the attack of the unit in his eyes, and he felt thrilled. He shouted: "I will immediately notify Tritias (Captain of the Second Infantry Light Infantry), let He led the archer to the corner of the city wall and attacked the enemies in those two towers! And... quickly transported Taki to me!"

"Legion commander, the soldiers have lifted Takagi into the lighthouse, but the stairs are too narrow and it is difficult to move up...they are trying to find a way," the adjutant explained.

"I don't care what method they use. What I want is as soon as possible! Hear clearly, it is to transport the sapwood to the city as soon as possible! If you delay, don't blame my military punishment!" Matonis shouted anxiously.

"I'll let them know this!" The lieutenant felt the urgency of the situation and turned to run into the tower and was stopped by Matonis: "You also have to inform the engineering camp to let them speed up and assemble the ballista, Then lift it up to the city, and I will use them to attack those two towers!"

"Yes!"

The warships of the Third Fleet entered the port of Lilithium, and Midolades breathed out. It should be known that the Third Fleet had just arrived in the western waters of Sicily, and was not familiar with the sea conditions here, and from Palermos to There are many islands on Lily's route and sailing at night. Midolades is afraid that the warship will sink and sink, so not only is the entire fleet sailing slower, but each warship is equipped with Palermos The old sailor, who was responsible for navigation and guidance, was able to reach Lilifeng Port successfully. He could finally rest assured.
