Of course, there is no murmur in the venue. The Hano faction veteran repeatedly mentioned that the military commander Marge was afraid of the enemy. In the case of the main force of Dionia, he had to withdraw from the army and he would win the battle. All of them are handed over to the enemy and should be severely reprimanded.
In addition, the elders are more careful to propose: from the current signs, Diaonia may have settled the Romans and Samona in the north, and are concentrating on dealing with us, Carthage, the scale of the war will continue to expand, the national strength The consumption is also intensifying. If it continues, Carthage will not be able to support it. It is better to have a peace talk with Dionia.
This type of proposal did not provoke too much of a wave at the venue, because the people of insight in the Senate realized that Carthage had reached the most critical moment, as Essaroba said: " The war with Dionia is related to the fate of Carthage's future. We must do our utmost to win this war! Even if we want to talk, it is necessary to use war to force the other side to take the initiative to talk. Only then, Jia Tai The foundation will not lose its own interests!"
On the second day, Aesaruba personally rushed to Utica, met with Molbar, and told him about the difficulties that Carthage is facing now, and the veterans and the people are eager to come back and lead the navy out of the predicament. To save Carthage.
Out of love and strong sense of responsibility for Carthage, the 70-year-old man promised to be the commander of the Navy.
..........................................
Marge’s lure plan failed, and Dionya’s main force was to keep Minoa and the surrounding hills. Lizaru’s troops were still entrenched in Enna, because of the lessons of the blood of the small town of Paragonia, Mako He did not take the initiative to launch a strong attack on the mountain camp in Dionynia. At the same time, considering the difficulties in the supply of rations, he did not let Hasbroda return to Kefalo Itian, so although the army in the west of Sicily gathered, Keep calm.
In the east, the battle was equally calm, but the people in Syracuse were nervous, although the two forces in Dionia were busy building camps and building siege equipment, and did not launch an attack, but the Syracuse Know: Once the attack begins, it will be very violent.
On the navy, the new fleet of Carthage in Sardinia received an order from the Senate, and Annobas did not dare to violate it. The Denia fleet had not started cruising in the early morning and led the fleet back south.
A day later, Midolades noticed this sign and immediately sent the Clippers to inform Sicily of his speculation.
Daves, who got the news, did not immediately let the third fleet give up the attack on Sardinia and the south to Sicily to strengthen the navy. Because these days, new ships from Great Greece joined the Sicilian fleet, making this The number of warships in the fleet has soared to 300, and it continues to increase, fully capable of dealing with the challenges of the Carthage Navy alone.
Seclín led the enhanced Sicilian fleet to re-arrange in the port of Serinus and began a complete blockade of the western Sicilian waters.
.............................................
A guest was ushered in the house of Annobas in the city of Carthage.
Annobs, who had been closed to the door, heard the name of the guest from the mouth of the slave, but immediately went out to meet, and respectfully wanted to welcome it.
Entering the living room, Morbar put a wooden stick aside and sat down on the main seat without asking, "I heard that you will receive an inquiry from the Senate tomorrow?"
"Yes, teacher." Annobas's heart was a happy, respectful answer.
"I said, don't call my teacher. Although I taught you how to command the battle when you were the flagship captain, it was the inheritance of the Carthage Navy. I am like this to every flagship captain. Do it.
Moerbar said unceremoniously:
I will not go to the Senate for your feelings, and there is not so much time. I am coming, just want to ask you, what are the operational characteristics of the Dionysian fleet? After all, you have fought with them a few times and you should have a deeper understanding of them."
Annobas, although disappointed, did not show up on his face, but told about the two naval battles he personally directed. In addition, he also talked about the Sidi Dium naval battle and the East Phoenician fleet sneak attack, these two games he did not participate in, but have some understanding.
Morbal listened very seriously. He didn't interrupt Annobas's story from beginning to end, but the gully on his face was more and more deep, and the last two sparse white eyebrows were almost screwed together. He touched his beard and indulged for a long time before he said: "Listen to what you said, the Daonians are taking a brand new tactic."
"Yes, old... Hey, in my opinion, the Dionysian fleet likes to use the hopping tactics as the mainstay, supplemented by impacts, while in other Mediterranean cities, including our Carthage Navy, it is dominated by impact. In addition to jumping, they are exactly the opposite of ours. But unlike ordinary jumping tactics, the so-called 'crow warship' of the Dionysian Navy uses a unique wooden bridge that can be used flexibly. It steadily links the warships that are approaching it from all directions, thus maximizing the jumping tactics..."
When Molbal heard this, he immediately pointed out: "Since the Daonians installed wooden bridges on the warships, they will inevitably increase the weight of the warships and destroy their balance. The speed and flexibility of their warships will also be reduced. Are there effective tactics for these two points?"
Annobas spoke a word, and then he argued: "Although I have only personally conducted two battles with Dionia, they all have tactics for the defects of the Dionian warship! Unfortunately, the first The second time I wanted to use it, the wind and waves on the sea became the help of our navy, but I didn't expect it to cause a storm. On the second time, I wanted to lead the Dainipon fleet to the far sea, and through the front and rear pinch and our warships, better control ability. To defeat them, but they are finally seen by the other party..."
Morbar did not speak.
Annobbas’s mind was fixed, and then he said:
Dyonia people may also be aware of the defects of their fleet, so they have another type of warship, which is smaller than the usual 3-layer paddleship, but faster. More flexible, assisting the crow warship in combat, making up for its clumsy weaknesses... These are the tactical features of the Dionysian Navy, but what deserves our attention is that although some people in the Senate think that 'Dao The Navy Navy was established for more than a decade, far from being able to compare with our long-standing tradition of the Navy, but I think their fleet is well trained and the shipcraft technology is not weaker than us. The cooperation between the warships is quite tacit. They usually use a seemingly messy offensive ship array. After the battle, they can cause chaos in the other ship's ship, but they can cooperate and protect each other in the melee. This is not long time training. Arrived.
And... I think the Dionysian Navy should have the same set of signal contacts as we do when sailing, so they can make quick adjustments in the event of raids and accidents...
In addition, it is worth noting that the morale of the Dionynia fleet is very high. In the raids of the Phoenician fleet and the naval battle in Sardinia, the Diaonians were at a disadvantage at first, but In the end, they can turn defeat into victory and have a great relationship with this..."
Annobas said incessantly, he tried his best to tell the secrets of the Dionya that he had learned. Of course, this is also concealing to explain to Molbal: he served as the naval commander. The reason why there is no victory, in addition to being unlucky, is that the opponent is too strong, he still hopes that the highly respected Moorbar can say a fair word for himself in the Senate.
Morbal looked at Annobbas's remarks and still didn't speak. He picked up the wooden pole and got up and walked outside.
After all, Annobas spent a few years with Molbal, understanding his character, not saying the words of retention, but respectfully sending him out.
Molbal went out of the door and stopped, and said to Annobs seriously: "In Sardinia, it is a serious mistake to set up a round to meet the enemy! It is even more wrong to lie about the military!"
The impact of Annobas's heart was suddenly cold: the old guy had already found someone else to know the details before, but he came here to visit his own words!
"But if I were you, there might be a round-up in the circumstances at the time... In addition to this, there is not much wrong with the tactics and strategies you implemented during your time as the naval commander..." The next words sounded like a fairy sound in the ear of Annobas.
Molbal lifted the wooden pole and knocked on the shoulder of Annobas and warned him: "When I receive the inquiry from the Senate tomorrow, I will honestly say everything, and I will express my opinion. I believe As long as people with a little brain will reasonably judge right and wrong."
Annobas Daxi ~EbookFREE.me~ He did not hesitate, immediately stated: "Thank you teacher! I will tell all the details of the battle!"
In fact, Morbar did not appear in the Senate on the second day, but he wrote a letter to the venue, in which he defended the failure of Annobis from a military perspective, and hoped that The defeated army will be able to become his assistant and assist him in fighting the increasingly powerful Diavian Navy.
The prestige of Molbal and the maintenance of Hanno made Annobs eventually escape the punishment of the Senate.
Instead of going to the venue, Molbal is dragging his old body and leading his men to travel between Carthage and the neighboring city-state ports to learn about the progress of the new warships and recruit experienced sailors.
