Vol 8 Chapter 352: sneak into

Tormead was stunned, and he hadn't really thought of it just now.
Davers stood up and said decisively: "It seems that we have to send another army to reinforce Celinus, and we will not add another army again and again, directly adding the Sixth Army, Roman Reserve, Potentiia and Samo. Nai reinforcements were sent to Celinus and handed over to Amintas. "
Tormead was startled: "Your Majesty, you sent both the Sixth Army and the Roman Reserve to Serinus. Only the Fourth Army and the Ninth Army were left by your side. In the event that Marco sent an army to attack Noah ... "
Davers said unhurriedly: "I don't think Marco will easily give up his efforts in Sellinus during this time. If he really desperately leads the army to attack Minoa, I I really hope he wastes a lot of his time like this. In addition, let Alexis execute our plan. "
"This way, Minoa's defense is even better," Tormead reminded again.
Davers smiled slightly: "My brother dares to put his army that was originally used to defend Segstad into the siege war. We can't leave Lizaru and Epiphanis idle, we can transfer them. Coming to Minoa. "
When Tormide and Printalls heard this, they were shocked: a few days ago, His Majesty was still talking about not tightening the rope too tightly to prevent the Carthaginian army dogs from jumping off the wall. It is necessary to order the trailed Third Army and the Lukaria Reserve to move forward to Minoa. Is this the final decisive battle? !!
Looking at Davers's calm face, they responded forcefully: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
……………………………………
In the early morning of the second day, Marg assembled his army and launched an attack on Celinus again.
From noon until the noon, the earth wall built by the Carthages communicated with the wall of Celinus. Fortunately, the defenders of Theonian increased the height of the wall at the junction with wooden walls that had been prepared. Can immediately rush into the city aisle.
After all, the wooden walls were not strong enough. Carthage soldiers, under the persecution of the team officials, braved the javelin throws thrown by the towers of the city, and continued to burn with fire and hit with alder. After paying a lot of casualties, in the afternoon Break through the wooden walls and pour into the city's walkways.
The Dionian garrison must deal with the long-range attacks of the dirt hills outside the city, the ant-attached attacks of the enemies below the city, be wary of the authentic attack the enemy may come at any time, and send heavy troops to prevent the enemy from rushing to the city through the earth wall. Armintas, armed with a shield spear, was prepared to take part in the battle in person.
At this critical moment, a total of 16,000 men from the Sixth Army and the Roman Reserve (including Roman noble soldiers enlisted in the Corps) arrived by sea and finally repelled the already tired Carthages.
Although the Carthaginian army was repelled, Marco was not frustrated: The addition of Dionysian to Serinus actually encouraged him. The plan of "the main force to come to a decisive battle" has been initially realized, and judging from the fighting today, after connecting the walls of Celinus, the Dionysian defensive advantage has been greatly reduced. Tomorrow I will gather the entire army to attack the city and send the Celts and Lusitanians to attack along the city wall. I wonder if the Dionysians can stop it? Will they send more reinforcements? Do you build a few more causeways to connect the city walls so that more soldiers can directly head up to the city and fight head-on with Dionysians? ...
Mago sat in the big tent, thinking about the siege plan for tomorrow.
At this time, the lieutenant walked into the large account and reported to him: "Master Margaret, Segsta came the news that the Dionysians raided the territory of the Sikans, and the Sikell army and our presence there 3,000 Numbian soldiers were also defeated. "
Brother frowned and asked, "When did this happen?"
"This afternoon."
Originally, the territory of the Sikans was guarded by Hasdrubba and led by more than 30,000 soldiers. The main purpose was to keep an eye on the Dionysian army from the eastern part of the mountain. After entering the territories of their enemies, the Uighurs had some conflicts with the Sikhans, but because of the existence of Hasdruba, the conflicts could always be eliminated.
Some time ago, due to the Dionysian attack on Palermo, the Hickels were unwilling to go with the army. Before the army drove to reinforcements, Hasdruba also specially separated the Hickels' station from the Hicks. Thousands of Numibian soldiers were left, hoping to keep calm here before he returned. Unexpectedly, later, Hasdrupa's troops were transferred to the Carthaginian camp in Serinus by Margo, and the territory of the Sikans seemed to be a forgotten one by the Carthaginians. As the three forces in the territory were difficult to unite, it was natural for a rapid defeat after a raid by the Dionysian army.
Immediately Brow's eyebrows stretched again and asked, "Do you know how many people the Dionysians have sent?"
"According to what Scouting has observed, there are about tens of thousands of people."
"Only more than 10,000 people." Ma was a little disappointed. He intentionally left the flaw in the Sikan territory just to attract the Dionysians to attack: "Where have these Dionysians now come?"
"They retreated west."
"What? Run ?!" Brother frowned again, he was still hesitating: Has Hasdrup led tens of thousands of soldiers to eat this enemy? Or simply ignore it and seduce more Dionians into the Sikan territory, and even begin to attack Segsta, not far from the Sikan territory, and then assemble an army to destroy it ... As a result, Dioni After the Asians attacked, they slipped.
Mago felt powerless and stared at the lieutenant, shouting: "The next report is not allowed to be intermittent, and I have to finish it!"
The deputy's heart grievance can only be described as yes.
Dionysians are not fooled, it seems that they still have to attack Celinus! ... Marco made up his mind and then said to the lieutenant: "There is no need to station troops in the Sikan territory, and after they collapse, bring them all back to the camp."
……………………………………
When Alexis led a 10th Army and a 4th Army raid on the Sikan territory, the scout reported the news to the camp. Marco was leading the army to siege, and the lieutenant did not dare to fight in the siege. To interrupt him at a critical moment, but one unit has the power to send troops autonomously, that is, cavalry.
His Majesty had seven thousand cavalry, most of which were Numibian cavalry. They were fast-moving, running like the wind, and used to throwing javelins to kill the enemy, but rarely killed in the front. After Margo led his troops back to western Sicily, the Dionysian army could not stand still, but took advantage of the sea, and often sent fleets to land behind to attack. So Margo let the cavalry patrol the western coast every day. Once the enemy was found, he could launch Attacks, slow the enemy's actions, and facilitate the main force to rush to destroy them, because of the characteristics of the Numibian cavalry, he did not worry that they would suffer great losses.
Therefore, after receiving the news that "Dionians attacked the Sikan territory," the cavalry idled in the camp quickly rushed to the Sikan territory, but did not expect that the Dionia would soon retreat. In the mountains, the cavalry, who wanted to kill the enemy, had to do the chore of gathering the soldiers.
As soon as Marco returned to the camp tent, there was a Numibe standing in front of Tinum, a leader of the Masili tribe in a military tent in the northwestern side of the Carthage camp, in the tent of the Numibian cavalry. Asian soldiers.
"I thought it was someone who wanted to see me, but I didn't expect it to be your Kenoms. How could your father be willing to let you participate in this terrible war!" Tinum said with a little surprise.
"In the eyes of the Carthaginians, we Numibians have no distinction between high and low, only one of their slaves. The population of our tribe has been decreasing year by year. In order to make up for the number of troops that the Carthaginians have imposed on us, I have to come even if I don't want to participate in this war! "Kenomos said indignantly.
The leader, Tinum, was silent for a moment, and a while later said, "Carthage is really harsh on your tribe!"
Kenoms looked at him with a sneer in his heart: he understood that the other party was far worse than his dissatisfaction with Carthage, because Tinum was a West Numbian and he was a East Numbia.
It turned out that the Numibia region was divided into east and west because of Carthage. The Carthaginians refer to the Numibians who live inland in the Phoenician inland along the coast of Africa as East Numbia ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and live inland west, far from the Carthage forces The range of Numbians is called West Numbians.
A long time ago, due to the close proximity of the Carthage and the Phoenicians, the East Numbians not only traded frequently, but also influenced by Carthage culture. The tribes of Asia have begun to gradually change from the nomadic life to the semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral life. Due to the abundant food and relatively abundant material, East Numbia has a large population. The West Lumibians are always in a nomadic state. Not only are they poor in food and small in population, but they often fight for pastures and fight between tribes, sometimes because of climate change, reduced pastures, and lack of food. The Miyabi people asked for food aid, and for this reason the Masili tribe knew the tribe of Kinoms.
But since 20 years ago, the Carthages no longer satisfied that their territories were limited to the coast. They coveted the vast land inland and began to gradually change their previous strategies for treating Numibians. The tribes of Asia used solicitation, division, and alienation, and they began to use force to conquer from north to south, and this military conquest reached its peak after Hanover took power. For the Xinomibians, Carthage adopted a policy of bribery to provide cheap food to the tribes. It also hired its people as auxiliary cavalry to participate in the Carthage war, even when they were still in Xinumi. Among the Bias, they deliberately publicized the contradiction between the East and West Numbia. Asians ask for help, so the Easterners often face the Westerners with arrogance and contempt) and also let them participate in the war to conquer the East Numbians, so although it is the same race, Tinum will have such a kind of The mentality is not strange.
