Carthage is not Rome. The war with Syracuse for many years has made his army's siege experience rich, and it has enough technical ability to achieve the siege plan. The effect of Marco’s attack on the gun was not obvious. After thinking about it, he ordered to build a wall 100 meters away from the city of Sellinus, not only to completely surround the city of Sellinus, but also its height should not be low. In the walls of Sellinus, this will not only prevent the Daonian raids, but also reverse the long-range attacks on the other side of the city, which is conducive to the next attack.
Under the order of Ma Ge, nearly 100,000 soldiers in the entire military camp and countless heavy-duty workers began to act under the guidance of engineers.
The Deonian garrison discovered the enemy's attempt. He had been attacked several times in the city and was repelled by the early-prepared Carthage.
Three days later, a rudimentary wall surrounding the city of Sellinus rose up.
Just as the Diaonian soldiers were astonished, in the main city of Serenus, the Sicilian theater commander of the Kingdom of Dionia, Leo Tizides, met with the Sicilian fleet commander Miltias.
Since the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Leo Tizids has arbitrarily incorporated the crew of the Sicilian fleet into his own army, which violated the interests of the Dionysian Navy. After being discovered by the newly appointed Milkias, the two sides became mad. Miltias moved to the port and did not meet with Leo Tizides. This time, it was a last resort to negotiate in the city.
It was a great military error because Miltias was worried about the storm and stopped the warship's patrol of the western waters of Sicily, which led to the easy landing of the Carthage army into Sicily. If Leo Tiddides fell into the stone at this time, he reported it to the Military Department and said, "He has repeatedly reminded the Sicilian fleet not to stop the blockade of the western waters because of the bad weather, but the Sicilian fleet commander has always been stubborn and not led to the Sicilian battle. There has been a huge change...", which will not only increase the evil feelings of King Daves and the Ministry of Military Affairs against Miltias, but also likely to ruin his future military career, so Miltias is in a soft-hearted attitude. .
Leo Tizides saw him, but did not mention the "Carthage army landing", but said straightforwardly: "Mirtias, I am preparing to attack the camp of the Carthage in the night, I need you. The help of the navy."
Upon hearing this, Miltias thought sharply, then hesitated and said: "...the night attack on the camp of the Carthaginians? Are you ready to raid from the sea? The Carthaginians are in Serinus. There are a lot of sentinels on the coast, but they are prepared... It is said that it is a camp of more than 100,000 people! How many soldiers we have to invest in to raid, it may cause chaos in the Carthage camp! Once unsuccessful There is danger of the whole army being annihilated!"
Leo Tiddides heard the hint of heart in the hesitant words of Miltias. In order to convince this colleague of his own position, he had to take some time and patiently explain: "I will not Let the soldiers land on the nearby coast, it is really easy to be discovered by the Carthage, and the place I chose is here."
Leo Tizedes pointed a sketch on the table roughly depicting the surroundings of the city of Celinus and the camp of Carthage.
Miltias hesitated, approached Leo Tizides, and took a closer look and found that his finger was between Serenus and Germe.
Since taking office as the commander of the Sicilian fleet, Miltias has commanded the flagship and repeatedly traveled on the south coast of Sicily, familiar with the sea environment here, which is also a must for the senior generals of Dioria. At this moment, his place has a rough picture of the location. There is indeed a small beach that is easy to land, but he reminds: "The coast roads of Germe to Serinus are undulating and not very good during the day. Going, I am afraid it will be more difficult at night!"
This is why I chose to land here.
Leo Tizides said with confidence:
The coastal environment is complex, plus the Carthaginians who have just landed in Sicily are still on the coast to Germe. Unfamiliar, this is to prevent our landings from being discovered by the enemy. I asked the fishermen in the port that it will be a full moon night tonight. After landing, the soldiers can sneak into the forest near the coast by moonlight, about two more The hourly march can approach the camp of the Carthaginians."
Leo Zidids’s fingers moved to the pattern of the Carthage camp and continued:
According to the careful observation of the city at this time and the rewards of the soldiers who went out of the city, I think that Ma Ge’s The Iberian army camp should be north of us. The military camp from Carthage is on our east and west sides. Most of their soldiers should be Nubians, and they are the main force for building the walls these days. They must be very tired after they are busy during the day, and they must fall into sleep at night.
Moreover, these days, the Carthaginian army placed the entire defense focus on protecting the earth wall being built. For the rear of its camp, it may be unprepared, and our raids are highly likely to be successful... I will also gather 10,000 heavy infantry in the city. When the raid forces cause chaos in the Carthage camp, they will immediately leave the city, rush through the earth wall, attack the Carthage camp, and take them back to the city. If the situation is very to us. Favorable, you can continue to attack"
"If the surprise fails?" Miltias suddenly interrupted him.
Leo Tizides had long considered it, and he said without hesitation: "I will let them escape east into the mountains and eventually return through Minoa."
Miltias did not speak. He knew that there were allies in the mountains on the east side of the West Kel, as long as they fled into the mountains, the possibility of safe return is great.
He carefully looked at the sketches on the table, his eyes focused on the night attack target at the Carthage camp to the east of the city of Serenus. It may be because the Carthaginians have a strong force, so the camp is built. In the city, inside and outside the city, I can really see the camp of Carthage. So Leotizides can infer the general layout of the Carthage camp. He has no doubts.
At this time, Leotizides said: "I will send the light armored squadron of the Eighth Army and 1,000 reserve army soldiers to carry out this raid. I hope that the fleet infantry belonging to the Sicilian fleet can also participate in this operation.
"No..." Miltias instinctively wanted to refuse. As soon as he spoke, he immediately realized that the fleet infantry could participate in the night attack. Once it was successful, it was definitely a good thing for him to ease him. The mistakes he made, he immediately changed his mouth: "Of course there is no problem, our fleet infantry is best at landing raids, I will let them all join this raid!"
Previously, the 4th Fleet led by Miltias had 40 lasaing warships, including 30 crow warships, so there were 1,200 infantry infantry, plus the ones who survived the storm before. There are about 3,000 infantry infantry units. As a result, the number of soldiers involved in the raid reached 5,000.
Leo Tizides was satisfied with this, which is one of the main reasons he called Miltias.
With the fleet infantry joining the night attack, Miltias has also become much more active. He spent a long time working with Otto Zides to perfect the raid plan.

Ma Ge was awakened in his sleep, and he was shocked to hear the news of the "Dyonia people attacking the camp."
At this time, there was already a vague killing sound coming into his ear. As he stepped out of the big account, he hurriedly asked: "Which camp was attacked? How many enemies?!"
"It should be in the middle of Dongying. How many enemies are still unclear..." The adjutant replied quickly.
When Marco came out of the account, the killing and screams became clearer, and there was a constant exclamation. The Dayonian night attack began to start the soldiers of other camps.
Ma Ge looked east, even if there was the moonlight shining, but the camp of nearly 100,000 troops stretched for a dozen miles, just a few miles away from the battle of the Chinese army camp ~EbookFREE.me~ at first glance I don’t see anything at all.
Marge listened carefully for a while, and although the shouts and screams were expanding, he was not flustered. During the conquest of southern Iberia, he had suffered too many night attacks, and he was already very experienced. Decisively said to the adjutant: "Send the dispatcher, rush to the camps, inform the generals, let them control the soldiers in their camp, prepare for the defense, without my orders, do not bring the soldiers to rescue! If no Listen to the order, I will nail him to the cross!"
The reason why Marge is swearing is because the camp in the east is mainly stationed by the army formed by Carthage. The generals are mostly the aristocrats of the basic city of Carthage. Marge has left Carthage for more than 10 years, and some people may Act arbitrarily regardless of his existence.
The commanders rushed away, and the generals of the Chinese army camp were quickly summoned and quickly rushed to the big account.
Margo once again issued an order directly to them: "I will immediately gather the soldiers of your hands. Except for Talca, who led his troops to defend the camp, other troops followed me to rescue the attacked camp."
The voice of Marco was not lost, and there was a deafening noise from the account. Some people in the account smelled.
The adjutant rushed in and eagerly shouted: "Adult, the Dionyns sent troops from the city and attacked the camp in the east!"
Marco was calm and calm, and he smiled: "Listen to this voice, the soldiers sent by the Diaonians are probably quite a lot. That's great! We can just kill them and attack Celinus. The city is much easier!"
