Vol 8 Chapter 304: The winning strategy for Carthage

Printos smiled and nodded to him.

Alexis also smiled back.

At this time, I heard Daves say: "For this proposal, I started to have some heartbeat, but I finally gave up, why? Because according to intelligence, the western mountains of western Sicily centered on Kefalo Ioian are more eastern. The mountainous terrain is higher and the terrain is complex. For our army with heavy infantry as its main force, combat and marching will be more difficult, and because of the distance from Katane, material transportation is a big problem.

In addition, you should be aware that there are more than 40,000 Iberian troops in the army of Carthage. These soldiers are either from the mountainous races of Iberia, or they have been following the Carthage generals in Iberia for many years, so they are in the mountains. They have a strong fighting power, and more importantly, the current Carthage military commander, Marco, was the governor of Iberia 10 years ago, and he has been in the wild mountain for 10 years. He is richer in mountain combat. experience of.

If we fight with the Carthaginians in the mountains, although we avoid the superior cavalry of Carthage, the outcome is still unpredictable. In the case that we have taken the absolute advantage in strategy, there is absolutely no need to take risks. Conduct a large-scale mountain battle, knowing that it is likely to determine the fate of the kingdom!


The prudent discourse of Daves made Alexis, Olivers and others into thinking, and also made Amintas, Matonis and others wonder: What absolute advantage do we have?

"Of course the Navy! Our fleet has an absolute advantage!" Seklely said with a confident voice.

"Secleyan is right, our advantage is in the Navy!" Davers said firmly, then took out a paper roll: "At the beginning of the banquet, I received the third fleet. A battle report, they defeated the new fleet of Carthage in Sardinia two days ago!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone was delighted. Seklely was rushed forward and took over the battle report. After reading it quickly, he couldn’t help but praise: "A good Mido Lades! In the case of a crisis of ship-cracking, the Carthaginians suffered a fiasco!"

When the generals passed on each other, Daves said in a deep voice: "More than 100,000 people of the Carthaginian army gathered on Sicily. The rations consumed each day are enormous. Their colonial cities and sicials on Sicily. It is impossible for the Niki allies to satisfy their supply of rations, not to mention that Prosuous also destroyed the farmland of these city-states and cut off their wheat. They have difficulty in their own survival, so Carthage can only The continent of Afrikaa collects food and meets the daily needs of this huge army by sea."

"Your Majesty is right! As long as our Sicilian fleet completely cuts off the Carthage and Sicily maritime transport lines, we don't need to fight in front of them. Even if there are more Carthage soldiers, they can only be starved to death on this island. "Secleyan interjected loudly.

Daves didn't take it seriously, but instead said to him seriously: "So next... After the Sicilian fleet was replenished with the newly built warship, I asked the Sicilian fleet to step up the blockade of western Sicily and intercept all the traffic. vessel!

This task is not easy to accomplish, although our navy has an advantage, but for the victory of this war, for the life of the more than 10 million Carthage soldiers, Carthage will certainly try every means to get through the route, the Sicilian fleet must Will be attacked by Carthage from the sea! Seclany, can you accomplish this task? !


"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will let the Carthage fleet come back!" Seclair answered with confidence.

"I believe you can do it!" Daphus encouraged him and whispered, "But I hope you can be more cautious and stop the fleet from being destroyed by the storm."

"Yes..." Seclair looked down.

"Your Majesty!" Amintas eagerly asked: "According to your plan, do you not need our troops to take the initiative?!"

"Yes!" Daphus's categorical answer made the faces of senior generals such as Amintas, Matonis, Oliver and others more or less lost.

Davers collected their expressions in their eyes and then looked at the silent Alexis and asked, "Alexis, what is your opinion?"

Alexis looked around and said with a heavy voice: "Your Majesty, this war has lasted for more than a year. The soldiers first fought hard in the north, and now they have come to the south, they have not been able to rest, and they have paid quite The big casualties, as far as I can see, almost all the people in the city of Turui are wearing black veils...

Now we will fight against the more powerful Carthage. I thought that the casualties will be more than ever, but your strategy will allow our soldiers not only to reduce casualties, but also to win the final victory. This is where your Majesty is far superior to us in the military! Alexis praised sincerely.

After listening to this, Davers was a little embarrassed. In fact, before the banquet, he had the idea of ​​waiting for all the military to meet, and looking for opportunities to fight with the Carthage army. This may be the ambition of every commander of the heavy arm, but the third fleet. The success of the news made him happy, and realized the absolute superiority of the Navy, and then determined his determination to carry out another plan in his heart.

At this moment, he coughed and said: "Alexis said very well. The purpose of the war is to safeguard the interests of the kingdom. It is not to pursue the pleasure of killing. We must try our best to ensure that we trust us and do our best. The soldiers fighting in the kingdom can go home safely."

Daphus’s gaze swept through the faces of Amintas, Matonis and others, and continued:
Our army does not take the initiative, it does not mean that we can relax our vigilance, the Carthaginian army in order to survive, It is very likely that we will take the initiative to attack us. To this end, we must speed up the construction of the camp, build more defense facilities, and give our soldiers an absolute advantage in defense.

In addition, even if this Carthage army on Sicily is defeated, this war will not end soon. You must be ready to march to Africa and to the south of Iberia, so during this time you have to think about it. Do your best to keep the soldiers good morale, don't let them slack off, and strengthen the training of Roman soldiers, Samona soldiers, and Potentia fighters, so that they can get familiar with our flags, commands and tactics as soon as possible. Conducive to future operations.


The words of Davers made the generals feel a good spirit, so when Davers asked again, "What opinions do you have?", everyone expressed their agreement to implement the plan Daves proposed.

Seeing that everyone has unified their understanding, Dafos smiled. He said: "The implementation of this plan has another advantage for us. We can use less force to defend the attack of more power of the Carthaginians. It is possible to visualize the development of the war situation and then divide some soldiers to support Serinus, Enna, or Prosuos, and even to attack the vacant rear of the Carthage army.

You, because of the advantages of the sea, we seem to be in passive defense, but actually occupy the initiative, the Carthaginian army will be defeated for us!


..........................................

On the west bank of the Pletani River, in the camp built by the Carthaginian army, the roar of Ma Ge came out in the big account of the Chinese army: "Damn Annobas, you stupid!..."

Pomirka, who heard the news, went into the big account and was seeing Marco pull out the sword and slash it against the table.


What happened?
Pomirka asked softly.

"Look, this is what you trust, the most capable naval war general of Carthage!" Marge angered a piece of paper on the table.

Pomerka picked it up and changed his face after reading it. He asked: "Is this true?"

"This is written by the family of the Magoniide family who served as the captain in the newly formed fleet. Of course it is true!" Marge took the cold sword, sat down on the wooden chair, and screamed at the eyes. Mirka: "Annobas himself was incompetent, misplaced the ship, causing the fleet to suffer a fiasco, and the fate of Admiralka is unknown! According to my ethnic group, after they fled back to the port of Sarros, Anoba Si also trained them and threatened them not to disclose the whole process of naval warfare, obviously to escape the blame!

He thought about it! I am going to write to the Senate to explain the true image of the naval battle and ask him to be taken back to Carthage, to be judged and punished! You signed with me!


"This one……"

Pomirka just showed a hesitant look~EbookFREE.me~Marco snorted heavily: "You don't want to?!"

"The new fleet has suffered a defeat in the case of superiority. Annobas should have been tried by the Senate. I am willing to sign it with you." Pomirka said with anxiety: "But now During the war, the commander of the navy was suddenly replaced, and I am afraid that it will have a great impact on the entire fleet..."

Marge sneered: "In my opinion, it is a great help to the navy to replace him! I ask you, since he was the commander of the navy, have we won the fleet that we dominated in the Western Mediterranean?!"

Pomirka is speechless, because it is true. Since the beginning of the war, the Carthage Fleet has lost in a series of battles. Now it can only be contracted in the port and dare not compete with the Dania fleet.

"After the fleet was destroyed by the storm, it should not have allowed Annobas to continue to serve as the commander of the navy. It should not let the new fleet that was hard to build go to Sardinia. This is because of Hanno’s selfishness, but let Taiji pays such a big price! It can't go on like this anymore! It can't go on like this anymore!! Otherwise, once the whole sea area is controlled by the Dania fleet, our army will be all over!!" Margo’s painful efforts Knocked on the desktop.
