Vol 8 Chapter 382: Alexis' offensive plan

Oliver originally thought that he could not fight, but Davers' order made him overjoyed. Although he failed to serve as a commander and disappointed him, Deverste explained to him and he was able to sort out his heart. Shun, he solemnly stated: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured! I will cooperate well with Teg Tinos to complete the Raiders of Sardinia as soon as possible."
As a newcomer to the Dionysian army, Sextus naturally has no opinion.
After the two generals received the order, other generals who had not yet had the task saw hope, but Dafus looked at them and said calmly: "The seventh army needs to temporarily station troops in Liliyu, Mazara, and Serinnu. , Palermos, and stability of the entire western order. The 10th Army, the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade Remains, as a reserve, ready to respond to emergencies. The 6th Army, the 8th Army, Lucania The reserve regiment and the three cavalry regiments can be disbanded first, so that the soldiers who have been fighting for a year can return to their hometown. At the same time, it can also ease the tension in the supply of military supplies. However, several of your regiments are temporarily unable to return home and must stay in their respective barracks. Once you receive the order, you must assemble the soldiers as soon as possible to the designated battlefield. Do you all understand? "
"I see, Your Majesty!" No matter how much he lost in his heart, none of the generals dared to come forward to disagree.
"Your Majesty, then what about our navy?" Sekrian couldn't help asking.
"Attacking Carthage across the sea, how could it be possible to lose your navy!" Dafus still looked serious: "The Sicilian fleet and the Third Fleet not only have to guard the expeditionary forces to land safely in Africa, but also the safety of the transport fleet in the future You are responsible. In addition, the navy will no longer have to cruise the western waters from today. Instead, it will change its target to the waters of Carthage, block the port of Carthage, intercept the ships of Carthage and its allies, and land and attack our enemies. We must actively cooperate with the army of Alexis until the end of the war ... This is the task of your navy. It is very hard. Can you accept it? "
"Doesn't this highlight the importance of our navy! It is better to do something than to sit idle, and the Sicilian fleet is willing to accept this task." Secrian Haha smiled, deliberately looked at the several legionnaires who were about to disband the army and return home , Put on a look of pride, so that Epiphanes and a few people hate to beat him.
Compared with Sekerian, Midorades's answer is more serious: "Your Majesty, the 3rd Fleet must complete the task."
Davis turned a blind eye to this small slapstick of Seclion, and turned his attention to the always quiet Sicilian commander, saying, "Prossus, you have another mission. After returning to the east, Os You are still responsible for Gia Island. It has no impact on the entire war, so I do n’t set a time limit to overcome it, but I ask you to minimize the consumption of materials and reduce the casualties of soldiers. Can you do it? "
"I try my best, Your Majesty." Leo Tizides responded calmly.
"You all understand your respective tasks, so please go back immediately and carry them out seriously. Alexis, you can stay for a while."
The military meeting this time was so short because Davers was not prepared to give the generals time to bargain after giving the order.
There was only Alexis in the hall, and Daphs asked softly, "What do you think about landing Africa and attacking Carthage?"
Although Alexis has just been appointed, after the battle of Celinus, Sicily has basically become the possession of the kingdom. As long as the war is not over, it is expected that he will land in Africa and attack Cartha. Senior generals like Lexis and Leotizides are already thinking about how to attack next, which is one of the reasons why they can get such a high position in the Dionysian army today. So Alexis hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, is there a map of Afrika?"
Davers immediately asked Hannipolis to bring a map and place it on the table.
Alexis stepped forward, looked at the map intently, and then solemnly said: "The three legions plus the cavalry and infantry of Numibia, the number of soldiers is estimated to have exceeded 50,000, which is very large. I After reading the battle report when you led your army to land in Latinum, it took you almost a day, and the first army and the third army landed first to block the Roman attack, so that the entire army set foot in Latin This shows that landing operations are a time-consuming, labor-intensive and risky military operation.
And this time the landing, half of the troops of the landing troops were Numbians. They had not undergone strict training and had never fought alongside us. Once they were attacked by the Carthaginians, they were likely to There will be panic, disobedience to the command ... not only cannot be our army's assistance, but also become a burden, even a hidden danger.
Therefore, I hope that our army and the army of Numibia do not land together. They will be carried out in two stages. First, I will lead three legions to land and build a camp. On the second day, the Numibians were transported past, which not only improved the efficiency of landing, but also ensured security. "
After listening to Davers, he secretly applauded: It seems that Alexis has not lost his head because of my previous appointment, and remains calm.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "I agree with you, you can log in twice. Where do you think the landing site should be chosen?"
Alexis had long considered, and then said: "Although we destroyed the 100,000 army of Carthage in Sicily, I still think it still has some strength. If we land near Carthage, we will definitely be hit by it. This may cause our landing to fail. If the landing site is too far from Carthage, it may give the Carthage enough time to defend.
Moreover, I heard that on Carthage's west coast, mountains and hills, which will make it difficult for the landing troops to march to Carthage, so my landing location was-- "
Where Davers looked at his finger, it was Hardrumentum, the Phoenician city-state that had been stationed in the East Phoenician Fleet, but was subsequently assaulted by the Sicilian Fleet.
This is exactly the landing site that Davers envisioned, but he was not surprised. After all, Hardrumentum is indeed an ideal landing place: the city is located on a long flat beach that can accommodate large The troops landed, and the Phoenician city-states nearby were weak enough to not pose any threat to Dionia ’s landing forces, and there were more than 100 miles from Carthage, neither far nor near, and along The coast advances and the terrain is flat for the march. In addition, the Sicilian fleet has raided there, and is relatively familiar with the sea conditions and geographical environment ... Alexis is one of the best generals in the Kingdom of Dionia. It is natural to choose Hardrumentum. Can't be more normal.
"I agree with you." Dafus nodded and groaned. "Alexis, as long as our army can gain a firm foothold in Africa, fight steadily, and defeat Carthage is a matter of time. But, I I have some ideas on how to deal with Carthage. I would like to ask you to listen first. "
Although Daphs was polite, Alexis immediately sat back in place and said seriously, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Davers said in more detail what he said to Hippopolis before, and finally emphasized: "Of course, war is not under our control, and sometimes the situation changes far beyond us. It is expected that you, as a frontline commander, can take whatever action you think is most appropriate based on the actual situation at the time. What I said is only to give you a bottom line. "
Alexis pondered for a while before responding seriously: "I see, Your Majesty. I will try my best to make the war go in this direction!"
This is one of the reasons why Davis chose Alexis as the expedition coach: Alexis has a political mind and can think and solve some political issues while commanding the war, unlike Armintas's head. Only war is considered here.
In fact, after careful observation of Daphs, it was found that although Leo Tizides, whom he valued, was obsessed with the study of war and poor communication with others, he did not only know about fighting. For example, he led the army to calm down Xi Kai a few years ago. Some of the political measures taken by the Uighurs and the first invasion of western Sicily were quite good. But this time, Davis did not select him as the commander, considering that his qualifications are too shallow, his prestige is not enough to subdue the unwilling senior generals ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Before you set off, Are there any requirements that I need help with? "Daves asked with concern.
"Uh ... Your Majesty, can you send me another one?" Alexis took the opportunity to say.
Davers smiled: "Prince Torres?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. With his assistance, I will not worry about the planned plan being flawed, and I will have more confidence in winning the victory!" Alexisstan said honestly, without any fear of letting Dai Firth had the wrong impression that his victory might have depended on the planning of Princeton.
"I promise you, Princeton stayed with me in Lili, and it was a waste of his talent." Dafus agreed without hesitation, and then asked: "Any other requirements?"
"No more."
"I have a request for you now." Dafus smiled: "accompany me with a glass of Turui wine, I wish you a message of victory soon!"
