Remember in one second 【】, wonderful novels without pop-ups to read for free!
The soldiers tightened their spears and rekindled the desire to fight.
"Master, the Dionysians have speeded up and seemed to be preparing to attack us first!" Kisgo rushed over to remind him.
"It's just right, let the soldiers speed up!" Ma said, turned over and dismissed the horse, patted the horse's hips hard.
The war horse hissed and ran away.
Then Ma said to the guards behind him, "Give me a shield and a spear."
Kisgo rushed forward to stop: "Sir, you should direct behind, not-"
Marco interrupted him loudly: "Don't say it, I'm going to fight with the soldiers today!"
At this moment, the people around him were also deeply touched, and Pomirka, the lieutenant, and the young aristocrats of Carthage, who had been ridiculed by Marco as their sister-in-law, also dismounted, took up shield spears, and stood on Marco's body Aside.
Ma looked at them, smiled, and said with arrogance: "Let us fight together for Carthage today!"
More than 6,000 Phoenician soldiers were hurriedly taken out of the camp by Kisgo. In addition, Marg learned that the Dionysian army was outside the camp and urgently ordered Stekamo to bring in 4,000 Carthages. The militias were impacted by the collapse of the army. At this time, there were more than 3,000 people following Marco ... Carthage was able to fight close to 10,000 troops, which seemed to be quite different from the number of Dionysian troops on the opposite side. Moreover, the huge cavalry that Davers had always been afraid of now has only a few hundred horses. Due to the single arms, the speed of the array is very fast.
And because the generals such as Marco, Pomerka, and Kisgo all took the shield spear and walked in the forefront of the formation, the soldiers naturally followed their stride forward, and the terrified scourge ran away behind them. Also temporarily unable to shake their fighting spirit.
On the side of Dionia, the Roman Reserve Brigade is located in the middle, and behind it are Potentia and Samona reinforcements. Both wings are cavalry. Davers led more than 200 court guards in the rear of the center of the army. . The nearly 10,000 soldiers formed temporarily were evenly divided into two parts, located behind the two-wing cavalry, but separated by 200 meters.
After the offensive bugle sounded, all the soldiers accelerated, especially the two-wing cavalry. They quickly approached the Carthage army, and hundreds of short javelins flew into the Carthage array, screaming.
There is only a small number of light infantry in this Carthage army, and it is not possible to attack the Dionian cavalry from a long range. The heavy infantry can only move forward quickly, trying to close the distance with the enemy and conduct close-killing.
However, the trained Dionian cavalry quickly turned the horse's head back, in order to re-open the distance and throw the javelin in his hand.
The heavy infantry in the running couldn't protect themselves well, and many people were hit by javelin, which forced them to slow down their pace and hide behind the shield.
As a result, only the unattended Carthage army moved forward at a constant speed.
"Javelin ready!" The team officials shouted.
The soldiers of the Roman Reserve Brigade were the first to throw javelins in actual combat, but they were not rusty at all.
The javelin rain that covered the sky came, and Ma had only had a chance to shout, "Be careful!" He hurriedly hid himself behind the shield.
Then he heard a scream screaming beside him, and his aide fell to the grass.
Anger was burning in his heart. He raised his spear and shouted, "Follow me, rush forward!"
He tilted his buckler and charged forward.
The soldiers also roared, followed closely.
Seeing that time was not enough to throw the second round of javelin, the soldiers of the Roman reserve group immediately launched an assault.
Soon the two sides collided. One side fought for survival and the other fought for honor. The two sides tried their best from the beginning and the battle was fierce.
A few minutes later, the Dionysian cavalry cast their javelins and flew to the outside. The two-winged Carthage army dropped hundreds of wounded and mournful soldiers and resumed their speed of advance. Onion troops launched a slaughter.
Most of those who temporarily became Dionysian soldiers were composed of ready citizens or free people who were eager to become Dionysian citizens. Although they lacked military training and lacked the fighting skills of heavy infantry, their desire to win was not Weaker than the Roman soldiers, because as long as they are rewarded, they are a big step away from becoming real citizens of the Dionia, so their battle is very heroic, plus the large number of two-winged Carthage army soldiers Just recruited by the cavalry javelin, the casualties were not small, and morale fell back, so at the beginning of the battle, the Dionysian recruits actually had some advantages.
At this time, the Dionysian cavalry also quickly adjusted the formation to assist the recruits to launch direct attacks on the wings.
They lined up in a long lineup, straightened their spears, accelerated their speed, and swept across the back of Carthage's wings. When the enemy blocked the spears with a shield, the cavalry quickly released their hands. Spear, while tightening the horse's neck with the other hand to prevent the recoil from coming down.
Even though the Carthage army soldiers blocked the sprint of the Dionysian cavalry with a round shield, the strong impulse would make him walk, his arm was sore, and he could not even grasp the round shield. The second spear that came immediately Can easily pierce his body ...
The attack of the Delnya cavalry is continuous, just like peeling an apple with a dagger. It does not look fierce and the actual lethality is not small.
As time went on, the array of the two wings of Carthage, which had fallen into a fierce battle, crumbled, and the morale of the soldiers dropped sharply and began to flee.
Midway also maintains balance.
Now that the fight is over, Mago is feeling physically out of reach. He gasped and looked at the enemies on the opposite side. Those who looked different from the Greeks made him familiar, and made him wonder and anger: Romans? Turned out to be Romans! Carthage was involved in the war just to help Rome, but these former allies stopped here at this time to take away his only hope of victory. Did they forget that Dionia destroyed Rome !! How can they be the running dogs of Dionia!
Marco roared, gathered his strength again, and struck forward with a shield, and then spear speared out, right in the chest of the enemy. Who knew that it broke with a click, and caught him off guard immediately? .
"Master Brother!" The soldiers on both sides desperately rescued him from the enemy's spear.
Ma Ge stood up struggling. Due to the force, his arms were sore and his vision was blurred.
He raised his head in difficulty: The Dionysian flag raised high behind the enemy was so dazzling and so close to himself! why? Why are we so desperate? !! But it was impossible to break the Roman array and kill the King of Dionia! If my Iberian army were here, it would be fine! Definitely can catch that King of Dionia! ...
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the back of Mago, and it was expanding rapidly. The soldiers' panic shouts came into his ears: "Oh my God, it is a Numibian cavalry!"
He turned back subconsciously, and saw the arrow rain flying all over the sky, and then a pain came from his cheek ...
……………………………………
The Carthage camp was riddled with soldiers everywhere. The Dionysian soldiers were chasing behind, and the back-and-forth raids of thousands of cavalry soldiers not only failed to bring them back together. The threat of the Dionysian army that caused the scattered formation also made many Carthage soldiers surrender because they were hopeless to escape.
This time, Davers did not let the army chase after winning. When the time came to dusk, he quickly issued an order: Retreat to the city.
On the day of the battle in Sellinus, the Dionysian forces joined with the Numibian cavalry and deliberately defeated in the city first, attracting the main forces of the Carthage army to continue the offensive, and then joined inside and outside to launch a fierce counterattack, only paying casualties 2000. The cost of many people completely defeated the army of Carthage.
On the Carthage side, Numbia ’s soldiers and Numbia ’s army rebelled. More than 30,000 people have successively experienced siege and two battles. More than 6,000 people were injured and injured. They were captured during the escape. After nearly 8,000 people, the remaining A, B, and C either fled west into Mazara city or fled north into Segsta, and a small number of soldiers fled in the wrong direction in a panic, starving in the mountains to the east. One night, on the second day, he took the initiative to return to the city of Sellinus and asked the Dionysian army to take it in.
At dusk, Davers led the Palace Guard to Serinus City ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and he made a rare decision to host a banquet.
Due to the long siege battle, the two sides repeatedly contended 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, food and drinks were put on the dinner table. The chiefs of the various legions and 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 behind the entrance. In the compound, dozens of tables were crammed in this relatively large open space, and their king was sitting at the most central table, which made it impossible for them to sit in accordance with the usual practice. Under the guidance, sat around Davers.
Davers did not order to start the seat immediately, but first asked about the fighting today and the casualties of the army.
Except for the First Army and the Second Army, which suffered a small amount of injuries when they first defended against the violent attack of the Carthage army in the inner city walls, the other army groups suffered basically minor casualties, but the seizures were very large, except for the capture of nearly 10,000 soldiers. It even took down the heavy camp of the Carthage Camp. The pile of grain and the huge amount of ordnance made the heavy officials who went to take counts laughed together, let alone they captured more than 2,000. Horses ... so each army chief is relaxed and talks about Yan Yan.
