Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

For a time, many people of Carthage changed from audiences to participants in this war, which caused all the people on the coast to pay attention to this war.

The Third Fleet pursued the Carthage fleet very closely, which satisfied Midolades. He had some knowledge of the Carthage port. Its military port was located inside the commercial port, and the two ports were combined. It is separated by a water gate, and the outside commercial port also has a water gate. Its width is impossible to allow so many warships to flow in at the same time. The Carthage fleet must slow down in order to enter the port, which is given to the third The fleet is a great opportunity to hit them hard.

"General, the Carthage fleet is not turning, they are continuing to retreat east!" The lookout's shout did not surprise Midolades because he had turned his head to see his ship passing the port of Carthage This shows that the commander-in-chief of the Carthage fleet also realized that there was a huge risk of withdrawing into the port of Carthage at this time, so he gave up and continued to escape.

Midolades sinking his face, he suddenly thought: If the Carthage fleet continues to retreat like this, the previous efforts of the Third Fleet will likely be abandoned, because the east coast of Africa is mostly an ally of Carthage. The Taiji Fleet may find an opportunity to hide in the Confederate ports at any time, and the Third Fleet cannot be pursued in the end. At dusk, it must return to the base, because the exhausted crews need to add a lot of food and water...

"Damn Secrian, what the hell are you doing now!" Midolades grew more angry and couldn't help but scolded.

At this moment, the watchman above his head exclaimed: "Carthage warships! There are dozens of Carthage warships rushing out of the port!"

Suddenly, Midolades realized that the Carthage Fleet was not about to retreat, but to lure the third fleet to the port and in turn attacked the third fleet.

At this critical moment, he had no time to regret that he lost vigilance because of his dedication, and had no time to think about how more ships would come out of the Carthage fleet (the fact is that the scene near Ericks After the raid, the shipyards of Carthage and the Phoenician allies tried their best to complete the process, and added dozens of new warships), he decisively issued the order: "The trumpet sounded immediately, and the circle defense !"

At this time, many Dionysian warships already knew that an enemy ship was coming from behind, and the crew was not too alarmed. After seeing the semaphore issued by the flagship, they immediately began to arrange their formations in an orderly manner, because whether it was against Mido As far as Rads and the Third Fleet are concerned, they have not encountered such a similar situation in the battle of Sardinia. The situation at that time was even more dangerous. Both the captain and the crew had experience. Fortunately Midolades is cautious, keeping the entire fleet basically in formation, so it is easier to convert to a round formation.

When the Carthage warships in the port attacked, Morbar then ordered the Carthage fleet to attack.

The Carthaginian warships that were retreating turned their bows and charged the Dionysian warships.

Dionysia's third fleet was caught in a dangerous situation of double-sided attack.

Since this battle took place in front of the port, the Carthaginian veterans on the breakwater can see more clearly, they can see that the Dionysian fleet is trying to shrink back, wanting to shrink into a ball, and it has been premeditated The Carthage fleet attacked rapidly, like the maggots of the bones, which made the Dionysian ship tired to deal with, and even some of the enemy ships that landed at the end were caught up by the Carthage ship, quickly entangled together, and then were Another Carthage warship that came later hit (in fact, these Dionysian crow warships voluntarily sacrificed themselves in order to ensure that the entire fleet can be successfully arrayed, and took the task of blocking)

Now, the Carthage fleet not only has the upper hand in the number of warships, but also takes the initiative on the battlefield. Since the battle is at the door of the home, the morale of the crew is not weaker than the other.

Although the Dionyan Fleet resisted tenaciously, it was completely surrounded.

The veterans were worried and laughed, and even Aisyaruba shouted loudly: "It is Morbar. It seems that he will win another naval battle! And the results will be much better than the last time!"

"Yes, with this victory, the Dionysians no longer dared to be so rampant during the peace talks." Tepanraco responded immediately.

"With this victory, we need peace talks?! We can increase our support for Morbar and let the Carthage navy regain its superiority at sea!" Preta Kuba retorted excitedly.

"We have to face reality. Even if we wiped out this fleet of Dionysian, Dionysian warships are still much more than us, and peace talks are the best choice!" Retorted.

...

The two sides started another debate on the city wall.

"Masters, don't be too happy, this Dionysian fleet is not so easily defeated!" Annobas said with a sneer suddenly.

"Whoever nearly defeated our fleet should be jealous of Morbar's merits, don't want to see the navy win." A veteran of the Margonides sent a sneer, which caused a lot of anger.

"It seems that the last time the punishment was too light for you, the senate should restart the interrogation on you!" Another veteran stared at him fiercely and suggested loudly that many people responded, which scared Annoba. Si dare not speak again.

"When did the Senate become so timid and unable to listen to different opinions?!" At this time, Hanno stood up and expressed support for Annobas: "This war against Dionysia Now, we are completely at a disadvantage, not precisely because some of us are arrogant and arrogant, believing that we can easily defeat Dionia, and arrogantly claim,'Within a year, the Dionysians will be removed from Sicily Get rid of it!'The result?! We lost Corsica, Sardinia, and even Sicily. It is difficult to keep it. Now the Dionysians are attacking our door! It is time to listen to different opinions and let Some of our hot-headed people are sober and sober! Annobass, what is wrong with your situation?"

Hanno looked at the people with dignity, and out of awe of the powerful figure, no one refuted, and even Pretakuba fell silent because of reason.

Annobas coughed softly and said softly: "Although Lord Morbar used a trick to trick the Dionysian fleet, he failed to make it chaotic through the rapid attack from the front and back. This is because the outer Dai The Onia warships were blocked and desperately blocked despite their own sinking. Their fighting spirit was very tenacious!" Annobas couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't help thinking of the naval battle in Sardinia In fact, at that time, his strategy was quite successful. Under the predicament of a small number of warships before and after, the fleets of other city-states were already defeated, but the Dionysian Fleet simply killed one. The bloody road, defeating defeat to victory, the tenaciousness of its fighting spirit is palpable.

"Look at it-now our warships are not continuing to charge forward, but are circling towards both sides, which shows that the Dionysian fleet has formed a round formation, making our warships not dare to attack their positions. —”

"So what? The Dionysian fleet has been surrounded by us. We are not attacking to reduce casualties. The Dionysians are not attacking. Isn't it to wait until the night to escape?" The words made a few veterans laugh.

"Everyone knows that the crew of the warships consume a lot because of the long paddling battle. They need to be replenished in time. However, the battlefield is in Carthage, and the Dionysian fleet cannot get food supplements and rest. The base is even more than a hundred miles away. At night, surrounded by the Carthage Fleet, does the exhausted Dionysian crew still have the ability to draw the battleship back? I am afraid I can only capture it." Another The veteran of the Margonides further added.

"We all know that for the Dionysian fleet to continue to stay here can only wait for death, the Dionysians can not do not know! I remember... in the battle of Sardinia I commanded , It seems that this fleet is in our siege, and as a result, they are desperate to attack, and finally... not only rushed out of the siege... but also defeated us..." When recalling the past, he looked sad and worried: "And this time, they did not rush out the defensive position, as if they were relying on it. This must arouse our vigilance!"

What are you wary of?Is the reinforcement of the Dionysian fleet?!...Hanuo moved.

Annobas didn't have time to answer, and suddenly the bell "Cang! Cang! Cang!" rang at the port lighthouse not far in front of them.

"Why is this lighthouse bell still ringing?" a veteran subconsciously complained loudly, because before the Dionysian fleet appeared in the sea near the port, it kept ringing.

"I'm afraid there is a new enemy!" Annobas first reacted, looking nervously forward to the sea.

Everyone was shocked.

At this moment, the tower guard leaned out of the stone window at the top of the lighthouse and shouted below: "An additional fleet appeared in front of me, with many black warships!"

Another Dionysian fleet!!...The veterans heard this news and suddenly changed their faces, shouting in horror: "Quick! Quickly notify Morbar! Quickly let him withdraw the fleet into the harbor!..."

The soldiers at the head of the city quickly gathered together and shouted in unison towards the port: "Quickly withdraw, the enemy's reinforcements are coming!!! The enemy's reinforcements are coming!!!"

The warring parties are in front of the port, and the nearby warship crews can vaguely hear the bells of the lighthouse and the shouts of the sentries.
