Vol 8 Chapter 305: Change coach

Although Marge said it was too extreme, it was not only Hanno’s decision to let Annobas serve as the naval commander and send the fleet to guard Sardinia, but one thing he said was very right, Sicily and Jiatai. The connection between the bases cannot be cut off, otherwise the more than 100,000 soldiers will have no supply of military supplies, and that is really all over! ... Pomirka is in the army, mainly responsible for logistical support. He knows the huge consumption of military food. The reason for the withdrawal of troops from the east is that the food supply is the most important reason. Therefore, the more he wants to be more shocked, he immediately said: "Ma Brother, I will write a letter with you, urging the Senate to immediately reorganize our fleet and fully guarantee the sea route between Sicily and Carthage!"

Margot looked a little bit, and he hated and said: "Even if the Senate listened to our suggestions, but our fleet can still do another thing, our current military food can still last for about 10 days, after 10 days, we Everyone’s life is in the hands of the Navy, which is really unwilling!


Pomerka listened and felt bitter in his heart. He loudly reminded: "The best way for us to reverse the predicament is to defeat the main force of the Dionyrian army and win the dominance of the Sicilian war!"

"It's easy to say, but you also saw it. I have been playing outside the camp for the past three days, but the Diaonians on the other side have no intention of going downhill to fight with us."

Marge has some helplessness and some doubts: "I have learned in detail about the battles that the King of Tyonia has been involved in. He is a decisive, bold, adventurous, and very confident person. At the earliest he was a mercenary leader. At that time, dare to lead a number of mercenaries far less than each other to attack the Lukania army; when Dionysius invaded the Great Greece, it was clear that Dionysius had an advantage, especially in cavalry, he Still boldly engaged in a battle with the Syracuse people...

Not long ago, Dionya and Rome had a war. Rome was so far away from Dioya. He actually led the army to take the initiative to launch an offensive... Why did such a person who loved the attack not dare to accept our challenge this time? !



Is it because the Dionysian army is not ready yet?
Pomirka thought for a moment and said,
Or because the army of Kefaro Idion is too close to here... let Dionia The king has concerns?"

When Marco heard it, he moved his sword and put it down. He said: "Maybe... we should let Hasdruba withdraw the army to the territory of the Sikan, and lure the eastern side of Dionia. The army marched westward and occupied the empty Kaifaro Ition. In this way, the King of Dionia felt safe in the north, and might be assured of a decisive battle with us?"

"If the Dionyns still can't keep it?" Pomirka said worriedly.

Margot thought a little and decisively said: "Then we will surround the Dionya army in Kefaro Idion and force them to fight against us in the mountains!"

"This is a good idea!" Pomirka's eyes lit up, but he reminded: "I am afraid that Arkonis will not be willing to retreat from Kefaro Ianti."

"That is the leader of the West Kyle who took the initiative to vote for us?!" Marco picked up the sword on the table, and a heavy sword was cut on the table: "This can be done without him. He can withdraw if he does not withdraw!"

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

After receiving the order of Marge, Hasdruba ignored Arkonis’s request and issued an order: All the soldiers and all the Sikels retreated westward.

Some of the Sikels did not give in even if they were in the hands of the Carthaginians, and they refused to enter the territory of the former enemy of the Sikan.

In this regard, Hasdruba has been relentlessly suppressed, thus forcing most of the Sikels to obey.

At the time of the retreat, the Carthaginians also completely destroyed the city of Kefaro Idion.

However, Lizaru, who received the Daves command, did not take the opportunity to march westward, or let the army stay in Enna, while still strengthening the city's defense.

The main force of Dionia stationed in the city of Minoa is ignoring the Carthage people in the mountains every day, and has been stepping up the construction of the camp.

After listening to the instructions of Daves, the engineers designed the camp: the entire Dionya camp began from the city of Minoa near the sea, along the entire hill, extending northward, approaching After the narrow lowland to the north (the place where Leopoldes let Agrigento seduce the Carthage sect and finally defeated it), the camp was turned northeast and continued along the continuous The hills, which are not too high, end up leaning against the upper reaches of the Pletani River, forming a semi-arc line of defense, while the simple port to the east is in its embrace, transported by the Katana fleet. The plentiful supplies, with enough water from Lake Gulgo, the Daiyan army is ready for long-term defense.

Unlike the situation in the west, in the eastern part of Sicily, Leo Tiddides has led the team to Syracuse. After arriving at Leotini and joining the army of the Allies, the whole army is divided into two parts, the main force is the seventh. The Eighth Army was formed by Leo Tizides and continued to the south, turning over the mountains and reaching the Dagang near the west side of Syracuse.

In addition, more than 8,000 soldiers composed of allied forces and friendly city-states led Zandiparis to go south along the coast and take the road to the east of Syracuse.

The Syracuse people have been paying close attention to the movements of the Diaonians in the north. When they learned that the Dionysian army left Katanay and arrived in Leotini, they were alert to the realization. This may be for Syracuse.

The news spread and the people in Siracusa were very scared.

After the news was confirmed, the Syracuse Council was only discovered at this time. These days of democrats and neutrals were arguing over the question of "who should be responsible for angering Dionia", wasting a lot of time. I didn’t even prepare for the defense.

In the face of life and death, Taigengens and Falekus and others had to lay down their contradictions and deal with the upcoming attack of the deceitful Dionyrians. They carried out urgent military mobilization of the citizens in the city, and at the same time sent cavalry to quickly inform the villages and towns outside the city, let the people immediately carry their belongings and rush to the city to take refuge.

One day later, the sentinel on the east wall saw the enemies coming along the coastline.

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

The battle report of the new fleet was defeated by Carthage, and the veterans were shocked.

In this report, Annobs pushed the blame to Admira, and said that it was because of the slowness of the action of Admira, that the plan of the two sides was not implemented, but was broken by the Dionia fleet. .

Subsequently, the veterans received a joint complaint from Ma Ge and Pomirka.

Is it the command mistake of Annobas or the lack of implementation of Admiral?

The veterans have had some controversy. Although Hanno defended it, as the naval commander, Annobas was unable to escape the blame.

So the debate did not last long, and the Senate passed a resolution of
removing the position of the commander of the Nassau of Annobas and letting him go back to the city for trial
.

The Cartha gene was born in the sea and prospered by the sea. Although they are now beginning to develop inland, the ocean is still their root. Today, the failure of the Carthage Navy, repeated and repeated, has already explained that Daioni The victory of the Asian fleet is not an accident. It is a fact that the naval power of Carthage is at a disadvantage. This not only puts the 100,000 troops on Sicily at risk, but also threatens the survival of the basic city of Carthage.

For the first time, all the veterans were unselfish and actively and seriously explored ways to solve the dilemma at the Carthage Sea.

The first is to establish a new candidate for the naval commander as soon as possible.

Although Annobas was impeached, it is undeniable that he is indeed a good naval general, so a personal choice proposed by the elders was excluded because he could not reach him. In the end, it was Es Yarubati. The name of a person who was sent to let the people not question his ability, but worried about his body.

Molbal, a nobleman of Carthage, a former veteran of the Senate, had participated in the naval battle of Carthage against the Greek city-state on the north coast of Italy when he was young. Later he served as the naval commander~EbookFREE.me~ The battle of the Greek Union Navy, led by Kuza, is more than a small defeat; he has also bravely led the fleet, along the route opened by the predecessors, crossing the pillars of Hercules to the west, along the south coast of the coast. Arriving in the middle of the west coast of Afrika, and bringing back some rare animals and eccentric, dark-skinned races, thus becoming a hero of Carthage; but he later tired of Carthage’s politics, plus the age High, so he voluntarily withdrew from the Senate and retired in Utica.

After getting a few elders who met him to confirm his innocence, the elders agreed to send the messenger to Utica to seek the will of the old man who did not belong to any faction to see if he would be willing to serve as the commander of the Carthaginian navy.

Secondly, the Senate held a discussion on whether to "return the defense of the new fleet in the Sardinian waters." After all, this new fleet was originally designed to protect the Sardinian route, but now it has been disabled and has not played any role. It does not make much sense to stay in Sardinia, but it is in danger of being wiped out by the whole army. Nowadays, the Daonian army has also landed in Sicily. The pressure on the Carthage army has increased, and the problem of logistical supply has become more prominent. It is necessary to ensure the smoothness of the sea routes between Sicily and Carthage to ensure the island. The 100,000 army on the top can fight with all their worries, which became the consensus of the Carthage elders. To this end, they not only decided to transfer back the remaining new fleet, but also to bet in the direction of Sicily, but also to include the new launching warships, and urge the shipyards to speed up the construction of the new warship.
