Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The soldiers squeezed the spear in their hands and rekindled their desire to fight.

"Master Marco, the Dionysians have accelerated their pace, and they seem to be ready to attack us first!" Kisgo hurried to remind.

"It's just right, let the soldiers accelerate too!" Marco finished, turning over and dismounting, and patting the hips hard.

The horse screamed and ran away.

Then Marco said to the guard behind him: "Give me a shield and a spear."

Kisgo stepped forward to stop: "Sir, you should command behind, not--"

Marco interrupted him loudly: "Don't say it, I will fight with the soldiers today!"

At this moment, the people around were also deeply touched, and Pomirka, the adjutant, and the young Carthage nobles who had been ridiculed by Marco as a playboy also dismounted, picked up their shield spears, and stood in the position of Marco. Beside.

Marco looked at them, smiled, and said with pride: "Let us fight for Carthage together today!"

More than 6,000 Phoenician Confederate soldiers were hurriedly taken out of the camp by Kisgow. In addition, before Marco learned that the Dionysian army was outside the camp, Stikamo urgently transferred 4,000 Carthage. The civic soldiers were hit by the collapse of the army. At this time, there were more than 3,000 people beside Margo... Carthage’s side was capable of fighting close to 10,000 troops, which seemed to be quite different from the number of Dionysian troops on the opposite side. In addition, the huge cavalry that Daveus had been afraid of before had only a few hundred rides. Due to the single unit, the speed of the array was very fast.

And because generals such as Marco, Pormirka, and Keysgo were armed with shield spears, they were at the forefront of the formation, and the soldiers naturally followed their strides with firm determination, and the panic-stricken soldiers ran behind them. Also temporarily unable to shake their fighting spirit.

On the Dionysian side, the Roman reserve brigade is located on the middle road. At the back of it are Potentia and Samona reinforcements. Both wings are cavalry. Daves led more than 200 palace guards behind the center of the lineup .The nearly 10,000 soldiers temporarily formed were divided equally into two parts, located behind the two-wing cavalry, but separated by 200 meters.

After the attacking trumpet sounded, all the soldiers accelerated, especially the two-winged cavalry. They quickly approached the Carthage army, and hundreds of thousands of short javelins flew into the Carthage formation, screaming.

This Carthage army has only a small number of light infantry and cannot attack the Dionysian cavalry from a distance. The heavy infantry can only move forward quickly and want to close the distance with the enemy for close combat.

But the well-trained Dionysian cavalry quickly turned his horse back and ran away, in order to re-open the distance and shoot his javelin.

The heavy infantry on the run could not protect themselves well, and many of them were hit by javelins, which forced them to slow down their progress and hide behind the shield.

As a result, only the unattacked Carthage's army is still striding forward at a constant pace.

"Javelin ready!" the team officers shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Roman reserve brigade threw javelins for the first time in actual combat, but they were not unfamiliar.

When the javelin rain covered the sky, Marco had no time to shout: "Be careful!" and hurriedly hid himself behind the shield.

Then he heard a screaming cry beside him, and his lieutenant fell to the grass.

The anger was burning in Marco's heart. He raised his spear and turned back, shouting, "Follow me, charge forward!"

He tilted his round shield and charged forward.

The soldiers also roared and followed.

Seeing that there was not enough time to throw the second round of javelins, the soldiers of the Roman reserve brigade immediately launched the charge.

Soon, the two sides collided together.One side fought for survival, one side fought for honor, the two sides fought hard from the start, and the battle was fierce.

A few minutes later, the Dionysian cavalrymen finished throwing their javelins and galloping outward. The two-winged Carthage army dropped hundreds of wounded and wailing soldiers and resumed their speed of advance. The Onia army launched a fight.

Most of these temporary Dionysian soldiers are composed of reserve citizens or freemen who desire to become Dionysian citizens. Although they lack military training and the fighting skills of heavy infantry, their desire for victory is not Weak than Roman soldiers, because as long as they are awarded, they will be a big step away from becoming a real citizen of the Kingdom of Dionysia, so their battle is very brave, plus the large number of soldiers on the wings and the Carthage army Having just been hit by a cavalry javelin, the casualties were not small, and morale fell back, so at the beginning of the battle, the Dionysian recruits actually took advantage.

At this time, the Dionysian cavalry quickly adjusted its formation to assist the recruits in direct attacks on the wings.

They lined up in long, single formations, straightened their spears, speeded up their horses, and passed across the back of the wings of Carthage. When the enemy blocked the spears with a round shield, the cavalry would quickly release their hands. Spear, while holding the horse's neck with the other hand, to prevent the backlash caused by the fall.

Even though the Carthage army soldiers blocked the spear dash of the Dionysian cavalry with a round shield, the strong impulse would make him stagger, his arm sore, he could not even grasp the round shield, the second spear that came next You can easily stab him in the body...

The Dernia cavalry's attacks are continuous, like peeling apples with a dagger, it does not look violent, and the actual lethality is not small.

As time went by, the array of the two wings of Carthage, who had fallen into a bitter battle, was crumbling, and the morale of the soldiers fell sharply, and began to flee.

Zhong Lu also maintained a balance of power.

After the battle, Marco had already felt weak, and he looked breathlessly at the enemy opposite him. The appearances different from the Greeks made him feel familiar, but also made him feel puzzled and angry: Romans?It turned out to be Roman!Carthage was involved in this war precisely to help Rome, but these former allies were stopped here at this time to take away his only hope of victory. Did they forget that Dionysia destroyed Rome !How can they become Dionysian running dogs!

With a roar, Marco gathered his strength again, struck forward with a shield, and then speared out, hitting the enemy's chest, who knew it had snapped off with a click, and unexpectedly fell forward. .

"Master Marco!" The soldiers on both sides desperately rescued him from the enemy's spear.

Marco stood up struggling, his arms swelled and his vision was blurred due to his strength.

He raised his head with difficulty: The Dionysian flag raised high behind the enemy was so dazzling, so close to himself!why?Why are we so desperate?!But it was impossible to break the array of Romans and kill King Dionysia!If my Iberian army is here, it must be!You must be able to catch the damn King Dionia!...

At this moment, there was a sudden disturbance in Marco's rear, and it was rapidly expanding. The soldiers' panic shouted into his ears: "God, it is the Numisbian cavalry!"

He turned back subconsciously, and saw the sky full of arrows rain flying, and then there was a sharp pain on his cheek...

………………………………………

Outside the Carthage camp, there were broken soldiers. The soldiers of the Dionysian Army were chasing behind, and thousands of cavalry soldiers swept back and forth, which not only prevented these broken soldiers from regrouping, but also The Dionysian army, which led to the scattered formation, caused threats and caused many Carthage soldiers to surrender because of hopeless escape.

This time, Davers did not allow the army to chase after the victory. When the time entered dusk, he quickly issued an order: withdraw his troops and return to the city.

In this day’s battle in Serinnus, the Dionysian army united with the Numbian cavalry, deliberately defeated first in the city, attracting the Carthage’s main force to continue its offensive. The cost of many people completely defeated the army of Carthage.

On the Carthage side, the Numibian soldiers and the Numibian army rebelled more than 30,000 people successively, and the remaining troops successively experienced siege and two battles, with a total of more than 6,000 casualties, and were captured during the escape. After nearly 8,000 people, the remaining A, B and C either fled west into the city of Mazala, or fled north into Segsta, and a small number of soldiers fled the wrong direction in a panic, hungry and cold in the mountains to the east One night, on the 2nd day, he took the initiative to return to the city of Serinus and asked the Dionysian army to stay.

At dusk, Daveus led the court guard in the city of Serinus. He rarely decided to hold a banquet.

Due to the protracted siege battle, the two sides repeatedly fought in the city, resulting in a ruin. The banquet was held in the temporary residence of the Sicilian Fleet Chief in the port area.

After intense preparations, by the evening the food and drinks had been put on the dinner table. The heads of the various legions and the two staff officers arrived one after another. As a result, they were surprised to find that the specific location of the banquet was not in the hall, but after entering the door. In the compound, there were dozens of dining tables in this spacious open space, and their king was sitting at the most central dining table, which prevented them from sitting in accordance with the usual practice, only in Maltius’s Guided, sat in a circle around Daveus.

Davers did not order an immediate seat, but first asked about the fighting process and the casualties of the army today.

Except for the first legion and the second legion that initially defended the Carthage army's violent attack on the inner city wall, causing casualties to be a bit heavy, the other legions were basically casualties, but the seizures were large, except for the capture of nearly 10,000 soldiers Even the camps of the Carthage camp were completely taken down. The mountain of food and the huge amount of armaments made the officials who went to the count to smile, not to mention that they also captured more than 2,000. Horses of war... Therefore, each head of the army is relaxed, and Yan Yan laughs.
