Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Woo!..." When Hasdruba heard the high-pitched horn of the Dionysian garrison coming from behind, he was asking the generals to gather his troops as soon as possible for better order Retreating, because he had fought with the Dionysian army many times, he knew that the trumpet sound represented an offensive, so he was a little surprised: Is the Dionysian crazy?If it wasn't for the city walls to block, they would have been killed long ago, and dare to attack us?!

"General, if the Dionysians really came out to fight back, that would be a good thing! As long as we defeat them, we can seize the opportunity and successfully enter the port!" An Iberian army general reminded first.

This statement was immediately recognized by others, and Hasdruba had the intention, he immediately changed the order: "You go back immediately, let your soldiers slowly retreat, and lure the Dionysian garrison out After that, launch a counterattack."

The generals had just ordered to leave, and Hasdrubal received the order from Marco.

"Numbians launched a rebellion in the camp?!" Hasdruba was taken aback, looking at the black smoke rising suddenly in the northwest, he now understands why the Dionysian garrison suddenly attacked Well, it turned out that I wanted to take advantage of the fire!

He thought, like Marco, that the Numibian rebellion would be settled soon, so he did not want to obey Marco’s order to lead the army to the camp because of the “stupidity” of the defenders of Dionysia "A great opportunity to capture the port is in front of us.

While he was hesitating, he received the order from Marco again.

Dionysia's army is approaching the camp?!... Hasdruba was taken aback again, and now he finally understood the reason why the Selinus defenders took the initiative to attack: they wanted to try their best to hold down the siege army led by me and prevent me from returning to the camp!

The camp and the city of Serinus are more important, and Hasdrubal is of course clear. It is enough for the camp to have the grain and the weight that the army depends on to survive. This is enough to make him determined: "Go and inform everyone Lead the general, and immediately lead the troops back to the camp!"

Soon after, the herald soldiers returned one after another, telling Hasdruba a shocking news: the number of Dionian defenders attacked was very large, and they were launching fierce attacks on the Carthage forces.

Did the Dionyan defenders want to hold us down?Are you really attacking?...Hasdruppa was so dizzy by this series of news that he finally couldn't sit still and decided to go to the front line and see what happened?

Before attacking the inner city wall, Marco not only appointed Hasdrubal to command all the offensive troops, but also took into account the great risk of siege, but also emphasized that Hasdruba cannot charge forward and experience the battle as before.

Hasdrubal, who commanded such a large army for the first time, complied, and had been sitting in the rear. When the situation was smooth, he did not feel anything wrong, but once the situation became complicated, he could not understand the front in time. Of the war.

………………………………………

After the attacking trumpet sounded, the left, center, and right portals of the city wall opened wide, and the soldiers of the Dionysian Army lined up in a column, rushing out quickly, and the Carthage army deliberately withdrew their relatively generous Time and space made Dionysia's offensive troops boldly line up in front of the city wall.

As a result, the soldiers of the Carthage army were amazed to see that the enemies rushed out of the city gate hole, and then moved orderly left and right under the city, and they quickly formed a continuous array.

The generals of Carthage felt uneasy, and they began to prepare orders to attack.It was at this time that the herdsmen of Hasdrubal arrived and demanded that their troops return to the camp immediately.

The generals were dumbfounded, and retreating in front of the enemy was taboo, but Hasdrobal's order was firm and strict, and it seemed that something more important had happened.

Some generals executed orders, and some generals refused to execute on the grounds that “Hasdruba sent two completely opposite orders in such a short period of time, completely fainted”, such as Lusitania and Kay Celtic leaders.

The inconsistency of the Carthage army's execution of orders caused some troops to retreat, some to attack, and the whole army was in chaos before they even started fighting.

The commanders of Dionysia seized this favorable opportunity and immediately launched an offensive. The soldiers of the regiment shouted the name of Hades and rushed towards the enemy like a tide.

Although the line of sight was blocked by the soldiers, the thunderous shouts shocked Hasdruba who was catching up, and he immediately realized that what the herald soldiers said was true, the attacking Dionysians were not only numerous, And morale is high, but at this moment the two sides are fighting together, and it is too late to change the order.

The left, center and right three-way assault battles are at the forefront of the Dionysian Corps that has not fought in Sicily, such as the Third Corps, the Fourth Corps, the Sixth Corps, the Lukaria Reserve Corps, etc. After they landed in Sicily, they stayed in the barracks. In addition to training, they heard the news of one victory after another. They envied their friendly troops fighting on the front line. The soldiers of the Legion for many months roared like thunder, ran like wind, and charged like tigers. After the blast, the long shield was damaged and the spear was broken. The soldiers of the Carthage army were either stabbed or knocked down. The constant changes in the order led to the chaotic formation of the Carthage forces. Only the Lusitania and Celtic soldiers barely carried the charge of the Dionysian soldiers.

Under the wall in front of the port area, a distance of one mile from east to west, none of the Carthage troops were attacked, and there were surging blacks everywhere, and everywhere was full of deafening fighting.

"Quick!...Go tell Kesgow! We need support here, let him bring the army immediately!..." Hasdrubal shouted anxiously toward the commander.

After he finished speaking, he rode a war horse and drove back and forth behind the battle front. He and his men aroused the morale of the soldiers loudly, inspiring them to persevere in fighting, and reinforcements would soon arrive.

Correspondingly, many Dionysian soldiers in the rear, as planned, also used Carthage to cry out in unison: "Numbians are rioting! They are burning your camp, run away! Otherwise! You will be surrounded!"

Carthage army soldiers heard the enemy’s shouts and became more and more confused, because before they did see the black smoke rising from the rear, they also wondered what happened, plus their physical strength that had been fighting for most of the day Almost exhausted, even the Phinu infantry, who is known for his tenacious fighting spirit, did not intend to fight at this time, the morale fell sharply, and the soldiers began to retreat.

Only Lusitania and the Celtic fighters were fighting tenaciously, but when the neighboring allies began to flee and the enemy began to attack their flanks, preparing to surround them, these fierce Iberian natives also had to put down Proud, turned and ran away.

This large-scale assault battle lasted less than 20 minutes, and the winner was the winner.The Iberian army was completely defeated, and the Dionyan army was hotly pursued.

More than 40,000 soldiers of the Carthage army, more than 50,000 soldiers of the Dionysian army, and nearly 100,000 people chase and fight in the city of Serinus. The whole city is like a boiling water tank, the dust is filled, The hustle and bustle.

The screams from the back kept the Carthage army soldiers fleeing desperately, and even shoved each other, and the numerous residential ruins in the city, and the vision blocked by the dust mist made their hearts increasingly panic, and there were people constantly Fall, and then trampled...

When Marco went to the camp, there were some soldiers on the outer wall of Serinus. When the ground shook, the sound of the waves came, and thousands of soldiers approached, they were shocked when they stood on the city. Even if there are black silhouettes shaking everywhere under the city at this time, throwing a javelin and shooting an arrow will not miss the target, it is an absolute opportunity to kill the enemy, but no one chooses to do so, they only Feeling like a small boat, facing a huge storm that is about to strike, and a little hesitation, the ship will be destroyed and killed, so the soldiers in the city chose to escape almost without hesitation.

So far, Marco has spent nearly two months, exhausting countless manpower, and paying a lot of sacrifices, and then captured the city of Serinus. The Dionysian army only took more than half an hour to complete it. Recaptured, they did not stop there, but continued to pursue forward.

………………………………………

When Marco returned to the camp, he immediately climbed to the outer wall of the camp and looked at the Dionyan army approaching the camp. He saw the two Dionysian flags shining in the sun and immediately realized King Dionysia was probably in this army, and as the Dionysia army was getting closer and closer to the camp, the war-experienced Marco noticed that this army was a bit wrong, and at least half of Dionysius The Asian soldier did not behave like an elite, which suddenly gave him a strong thought: Why not go out to meet the enemy?This may be a great opportunity to defeat King Dionysia and reverse the whole situation!

At this moment, he received the news that “Dionysia’s defenders in the port of Serinus attacked and Hasdruba’s army could not return soon”.

Also at this time, the Numibian cavalry who rebelled in the northwest of the camp found that the army led by Stichamo hurriedly came and dared not to fight against it, and quickly fled the camp.Stichamo did not pursue, but led the soldiers to put out the spreading fire.

Kisgo led the army to the Numbia camp in the southeast of the camp, where the riots were being settled, and the entire Carthage camp had basically returned to stability.
