Vol 8 Chapter 353: Masili tribe

Kenoms also changed his strategy and no longer complained, but said, "Leader of Tinum, now that the Carthaginians have been occupied, Carthage's route to Sicily's ration of food and grain has been cut off. The entire camp will face the threat of starvation. What do you think? "
Tinum blinked, revealing a look of indifference, saying, "Rili was occupied, and the Carthaginians could also transport food to Mazara, and they would also capture Serinus and restart You don't have to worry too much about regaining profits. "
"Captain Tinum." Kenoms sneered, "Carthage can recapture Serinus, Lely ?! You're overestimating the capabilities of the Carthage, and you've just captured a Parago. How long did the Carthaginians spend and how many people died in the small town of Nynia! You should be very aware of the power of the Dionias in defending the city after so long in Sicily. And thought Carthage dared to deliver food to Mazara! Don't you know that the Dionysian navy is more powerful ?! They not only completely defeated the Carthage navy, but also heard that they also occupied the section ruled by the Carthaginians. Corsica and Sardinia, and even landed in Africa, burning down several allies of Carthage. "
"Where did you hear these things ?!" Tinum asked, sharply changed.
Margo has strict control over the army. All the battle reports, except for him and several senior generals such as Pomirka, are not allowed to be transmitted at all. In addition, the entire army is confined to Sicily, and it is difficult to receive outside reports. News, it is even more unlikely that an alien cavalry unit like Tinum has its own source and is very new to the development of the entire war.
Kenoms took a breath, and his expression became secretive. He whispered, "I participated in the war, but I did not fight with Marco, but with the previous Monte Ardino. You may have heard of it. He led the army to attack Minoa, and was defeated, and I was captured by the Dions at that time ... "
Tinum's eyes widened: "You surrendered to the Dionians ?!"
Kenoms made a silent gesture and whispered, "No, the King of Dionia doesn't want us to surrender, but wants to be our allies of the Numibians! He wants to help us get rid of the Carthages. Bullying, restoring our independence, regaining our land ... "
Kenoms said more and more excited, but Tinum suddenly interrupted him, and said coldly, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Of course it's related!" Shenomos said in a deep voice. "You know, the Carthaginians have sent messengers to the Dionysian barracks to ask for peace. They can't stand it anymore! They will not easily agree. They have completely blocked the sea route in western Sicily. Without the support of Carthage, Margo's army is so huge. How many days can he consume the food he has stored? You can only surrender! Both you and your people will become captives, and maybe the slaves of the Dionians! "
Kenoms sighed and said emotionally: "I was because I had a good relationship with you in the past, so this time I got into the army, I didn't go to persuade my eastern fellows first, but I came to you first. I hope you can see the situation clearly and make choices that will benefit your tribe! "
These words that Kenomos said were actually lies. The reason why he chose to come to Tinum is because the East Numebians helped Carthage to fight, and they were basically infantry soldiers, and a certain number was drawn from each tribe. Clan people, whose team members can only be served by Phoenicians or Carthages, and after the successful night attack by the Serinus garrison, Margo sent loyalty to the Iberian army Excellent soldiers serve as team officials, so there is a great risk of instigating East Numibian soldiers to defect from the Carthage army, and the success rate will not be too high.
Since the land of Xinumibia was not controlled by the Carthaginians, they and the Carthaginians were more like a dependency relationship between a large tribe and a small tribe. Carthage hired them to fight, basically serving as cavalry. No outsiders were sent to serve as team members. All the tribal leaders commanded their own people. They only needed to obey the commander's orders during the battle, and their supervision was very lax. This mixed Kenoms and persuaded them to defect. Created conditions.
Tinum fell into meditation. Although he wasn't sure if the terrible situation described by Kinomos was real, he was not a fool. During this time, he had more or less noticed some signs: Lili was beaten by Dioni. It was a fact that the Asians captured it. He saw it with his own eyes. Although Palermoth was lost, although he did not see it, the Numibian cavalry who followed Hasdruba had communicated with him and told him that there were 4,000 powerful men. Of the Iberian natives were wiped out; if the Carthage navy was not at a disadvantage, how could the Dionians land at random on the western coast, so that Marco sent them to patrol the coast every day, and these days, he During the patrol, I did not see any more food delivery teams from Mazara to the Carthage camp ... Is the situation really so bad? !!
Tinum was thinking, a heart was sinking constantly.
There was silence in the camp, and the faint light of the oil lamp was shaking on his hazy face.
For a long time, he looked at Tinum and hesitantly asked, "What benefits can the Dionysians ... give me?"
Kenoms was pleased and busy: "Carthage can give you the Xinumibia tribe, and the Dionysians can give it, and it will only be better, for example, the Dionysians will sell it to The high-quality iron and armor that Carthage forbids you from selling ... and as long as you can successfully lead most of the Numbian cavalry to Dionia, the King of Dionia promises, 'In the future the Masile tribe and other Dionysian will be on your side when the Cinomibia tribe clashes! '"
After hearing this, Tinum was shocked: The Masili tribe is a big tribe, and its strength is stronger than most of the Xinumibian tribes. Several leaders have always had a dream to unify the loose Xinumibian tribes. Get up and become a Sinomibian alliance led by the Masili tribe. They think so, and they do so. But obviously the Carthaginians would not allow their wishes to come true, not only supporting his opponents, but also suppressing the Masili tribe many times, weakening its strength repeatedly, and losing several ranches. Taiji has been dissatisfied for a long time.
This is why Kenoms first chose to convince the Masili tribe.
Despite his heart, Tinum tried his best to remain calm: "Keanus, these promises given by Dionia sound good, but they are difficult to achieve because the center of Dionia is to the north On the big island of Italy (referring to Italy), the land of Africa where we live is in the hands of the Carthaginians. "
"Tinum, you do n’t know how great the King of Dionia was. It only took him more than ten years to make the newly established Kingdom of Dionia a powerful force that scared the Carthaginians. He has promised me that when Mago ’s army is wiped out, he will let the Dionysian army land in Africa and help us East Numibians. It will be a problem if Carthage will exist by then. If I want to control the affairs of our Numbians, I am just dreaming! "
Tinum is somewhat dismissive, and of course he will not be as full of Dionia as Kenoms. After all, Carthage ’s hegemony in Africa has continued for 100 years, even if it has suffered defeat in this war, He didn't think it would change so quickly, but the promise given by the Dionysians really made him excited. He considered for a long time and decided not to agree for the time being, but he did not reject Kenoms' request, but observed carefully. The development of the situation ~ EbookFREE.me ~ make a decision.
To this end, he also kept Kenoms in his army to avoid contact with others.
……………………………………
On the second day, Carthage's army again attacked the city of Celinus.
This time, Armintas did not deploy too many soldiers in the city, but used the wall to resist for a period of time, after repelling an attack by the Carthaginians, taking advantage of the short gap time before the next wave of attacks came , Decisively issued an order to retreat.
The Carthage army occupied the city wall relatively smoothly, the morale was boosted, and then they blindly attacked the city in an attempt to win the city in a rush.
Soon, they suffered from the traps that Dionysian soldiers buried in the city, and eventually they were blocked in front of the wide trench, and behind the trench was another towering city wall.
The seemingly empty town suddenly burst into countless Dionian soldiers and launched a fierce attack on the enemies below it.
The Carthage soldiers were chaotic in the process of marching in the city. They lacked general command. Hedgehogs gathered in front of the trench and did not carry any siege equipment. They were suddenly violently attacked by arrow rain and javelin rain, and they were in chaos.
Armintas decisively ordered a counterattack, and the heavy legions of soldiers who had been in ambush for a long time were killed from several reserved channels.
Under the city, Carthage's army collapsed, rushing to escape backwards.
After the Dionysian soldiers chased for a while, with the reminders of the team members, they immediately withdrew from the second city wall, and the subsequent Carthage troops rushed to the rescue.
After hearing the city walls behind him, Mago immediately remembered what happened to Palagonia, and hurriedly ordered all the troops in the city to retreat immediately, and sent spies into the block between the two walls to investigate carefully. Whether a large amount of burnable material is buried.
