Vol 8 Chapter 235: Surrounded by Sellinus

Mukhlu hesitated and said: "...Commander, do you want to tell the Governor of Cypress?"
Leo Tizides said a faint sentence: "It’s too far, time is too late. When you kneel down, you should put the Sicilian fleet under my command. It will save a lot of trouble. You are going to execute the order."
Soon, Miltias did not respond to Mukhlu’s expectations. He not only refused the proposal of Leo Tiddides to let him cruise, but also let Mukruo take the words and remind him of Leo Titz. Dess: The Sicilian fleet is not under his command, let him not worry about the affairs of the Navy.
Leo Tizids made a rare fire in the mansion, but there was no way.
When the time arrived in the afternoon, the detective ride back to Serinus, brought a bad news: they found a lot of Carthage soldiers and ships on the beaches from the coast of Mazara to Lili.
The Carthage army is landing! Leo Tiddides made the judgment very easily.
"Send someone to tell Miltias, let him look at it." Leo Tizides's mouth was slightly stunned, and the words ridiculously said that it seems that the previous Mirtias response made him very considerate.
"Collect the Eighth Army and the Reserve Force immediately, and follow me on the coast of Mazara!" Finally, Leo Tizides issued an order.
"Yes!"
..........................................
In order to facilitate the understanding and supervision of the boarding of the entire army in the ports of Carthage and Utica, Margo entered the port of Lili, almost at the forefront of the last group of boating troops.
When he first boarded the dock, he was warmly welcomed by the big and small officials headed by Lili俾 City Lord Imisere and the Carthage army commander Admiral Ademica. Everyone held the stars into the city. House.
When Ma Ge was just sitting down, and had not had time to speak, there was news that "tens of thousands of Dionysian troops had gone out of the city of Serinus and marched west."
Most of the people present felt nervous, but Ma Ge resolutely ordered: "Collect the troops immediately and go to the interception!"
Lili俾 is a military fortress. There are already several military camps in the city. Before that, more than 10,000 Numibian soldiers were stationed (the army led by Monte Adeno). They were stationed in Hasdruba yesterday. About 20,000 Iberian soldiers, Marco ordered them to gather quickly. To be cautious, he also brought 6,000 Iberian soldiers who had just landed in the city.
Leo Tizides led the army to the top of the wind, and the normal march became somewhat difficult, so it took nearly three hours to approach the city of Mazara.
At this time, he was rewarded by the detective: a Carthage army was coming from Lili, and the number was no less than 30,000.
Since the battle of Minoa and the capture of Serenus by the Dionysian army, Leo Tizides has thought of various ways to lure the enemies in the cities of Lili, Segesta and Mazara out of the city. Fighting in order to achieve new results, but has not been successful.
Now that the army of Carthage has finally left the city, Leo Tiddides has hesitated. Although Miloa’s war revealed that the Carthaginian army at that time had low morale and low combat effectiveness, this did not make Leo Tizides arrogant. Through intelligence, he knew that Ibi, who had captured Serdiham, had been attacked. The Lia army should not be underestimated. The Carthaginian army that is now coming from Lili俾 must also be the main force, and the number of its soldiers far exceeds the number of troops he has led.
During the time when the Dionysian army was in Serinus, since there had been no war, many friendly city-state soldiers had returned to their homes, ready to prepare for the upcoming harvest season. After the Second Fleet arrived in Sicily, Miltias had protested to Leo Tiddides: he improperly adapted the excellent crew of the Danish Navy to a light infantry, and served as a subsidiary of the Legion (referring to being lucky in the storm) Part of the tens of thousands of Sicilian fleet crews who survived.)
He also sent the matter to the military department. Finally, Otto Zides had to put these crew members back to the naval base in the Catania plains, so the number of troops currently led by Leo Tizides was only 20,000. There are more than 3,000 AIA soldiers in the city of Sellinus, which is the total strength he now has in the west of Sicily.
He originally thought that the landing of the Carthaginian army in such bad weather would inevitably cause a moment of chaos, and did not expect the Carthaginians to attack so quickly.
His gaze glanced at the heavily armed Legionnaires beside them, and their rainy faces showed exhaustion. Only hesitated for a moment, Leo Tiddides, who had never been impulsive in his warfare, dismissed the idea of ​​a battle with the incoming Carthaginian army and ordered the army to stop moving and immediately return to Serinus.
The soldiers who ran a mile and were drenched into chickens complained about this.
Leontiez did not care about this. He cares about whether the Sicilian fleet can gain something.
.............................................
After being reminded by the adjutant Mukhlu, Miltias, in view of his bad relationship with Leo Tizides, did not fully believe in Mukruk’s words, so he did not immediately lead the fleet to the sea, but sent a quick The ship went to the western waters for inspection.
After being confirmed, he rushed to lead the fleet out of Hong Kong. This came and went, and the fleet was sailing against the wind. When it was around the cape and rushed to the waters near Mazara, it was already at dusk. The original ship was like a weaving and lively sea. The calmness of the sea was basically restored. The landing has ended, and the transportation of the weights and horses that followed is also completed.
The Carthage Clippers, which had been watching the movement of the Dionysian fleet, quickly informed the vessels still on the way, and some of them immediately returned to Carthage, and some of them stepped into the beaches and ports of Sicily, so the Dania fleet was in this film. The sea was searched around for a while, and it only sank and captured more than a dozen cargo ships. Although they also looked at the many Carthage boats docked on the beach from time to time, they did not dare to approach the attack because they had Many Carthage soldiers, the Navy's abandonment of its own advantages to fight land warfare is obviously stupid, and because of the darkness of the sky, the wind and waves are large, and the two warships have inadvertently sunk.
Therefore, Miltias had to order a return flight, and he was always depressed on the way: the Carthage army was able to successfully land in Sicily, and he had to bear a lot of responsibility, neither Dave Daws nor the Military Department. This turns a blind eye...
.............................................
In the next few days, the battle in western Sicily presented a strange calm.
On Carthage, Ma Ge was busy reorganizing the chaotic army after landing, transporting the materials scattered on the coast back to Lili, and he took time to meet the officials of the Carthage and the messengers of the allies to learn more about Sicily. In the case, he even summoned Akonis, the leader of West Kyle, who was left out of Monte Adeno.
In the case of Dionia, Leo Tizides no longer sent troops to destroy the opponent's fields and villages, but ordered the soldiers to strengthen the city defense.
In fact, since the occupation of Serinus, he has been doing this because he knows that Minoa’s war is not enough to make Carthage hurt, but it will lead to Carthage’s more violent Counterattack, the south coast of Sicily is the main offensive line of the Carthaginian army. Serenus at the beginning of this route is very important. If you hold it, you can give the Carthage army further to the South Coast. The Nigerian-friendly city-state offensive creates great obstacles that help to complete the strategic goals given by King Davers.
At the same time, Leo Tizides sent a messenger to return to Katanai to inform the West of the new war. He also sought reinforcements from the friendly city states such as Minoa, Agrigento and Gera. Enhance the defensive power of Serinus.
Leo Tizides hopes that the battle will happen as soon as possible, but Marco can't wait. After all, he made a promise in the Senate to drive the Diaonians out of Sicily within one year. So three days later, the mighty Carthage army surrounded the Serinus.
Marco ordered the army to start building the camp, while allowing engineers and carpenters to build siege equipment.
After the camp began to take shape, he began sending thousands of light infantry formed by various Sicilian allies to gradually remove the traps and obstacles outside the city of Serenus. EbookFREE.me~Leo Tizides certainly would not Allowing the enemy to approach the ditch so easily, so he not only ordered the defenders of the city to carry out a violent long-range attack on any enemy entering the attack range, but also organized hundreds of thousands of light armor from time to time. Out of town raids are busy cleaning up the obstacles of the enemy.
The proactive defensive tactics of Leo Zidids gave the Carthage soldiers who were removing the obstacles under the city a small killing, but within a few days, Carthage’s encirclement of Serenus was still gradually narrowing.
For Ma Ge, who has about 120,000 troops, a few deaths and injuries are simply itching, and it has no effect on him. With strong military power as the backing, the Carthaginians have cleaned up outside the city of Sellinus. Has not been interrupted.
With the orderly advancement of the Carthaginian army under the city and the strengthening of the defense against the garrison, the Daiyan army reduced the number of outsaults after eating a small loss.
Soon, the Carthaginians placed dozens of rifles in front of the city and bombarded the walls of Sellinus with stone bombs.
Because the Diaonian Legion has the wall attack and defense training in the usual military training, they certainly have their own research on how to guard against the siege weapon. In addition to letting the cannons placed on the walls and in the city to strike the enemy's cannons accurately, Leo Tizides also let the soldiers collect the fishnets of the port fishermen, hang them from the city, covering the walls. On, to impact the impact of the stone bomb.
