Vol 8 Chapter 256: Falling stone

"Yes!" Mukher commanded the commander to rush to the place and shouted loudly to the retreating Legionnaires.
And Leo Tizides has already rushed to the north gate with the guards. He needs to get back to the city first, and quickly and best arrange with the Gera people to meet the enemy and defend the enemy.
The flag of the Guards held the banner of the Legion and fluttered in the wind. It pointed out the direction for the Eighth Army soldiers who were withdrawing.
The enemy's defeat made Haas Drogba's tired body seem to inject a vitality, and he followed the Lusitania warriors to chase the fleeing enemies.
At this time, the ability of the Lusitanias to excel in running was fully exploited, and the heavy armor of the Greek heavy infantry allowed them to be easily caught up by the enemy.
Hasdruba led the soldiers to kill all the way, and the last one became a blood man.
When they chased down the city and wanted to take the opportunity to break into the city, the javelin and arrows on the city head poured down, causing a lot of casualties for those who lacked defense.
Hasdrubar saw many black helmets and black armor guards on the head of the city. He did not dare to continue to attack the squadrons crowded under the city. Instead, he turned around and chased the other soldiers in other directions...
Until the evening, the Carthaginian army returned to the camp.
.............................................
In this battle, the 4th Cavalry Corps of Dayonia lost half of the cavalry. The 8th Corps suffered about 1,300 casualties. Among them, the light armor and the light infantry brigade lost more than half. The Gera army killed and injured more than 2,000 people. Kamanina The most casualties, the original 3,000 soldiers, only more than 300 escaped, the entire coalition casualties nearly 7,000. On the other hand, the Carthage army suffered more than 2,000 casualties. Among them, the Balearic Stonemen had the most casualties, more than half.
Due to the collapse of the Dionyrian coalition, most of the injured coalition soldiers failed to escape.
The battle of Gera and the Camerina’s civics has made the troops of Leo Tizides even more stretched. What is more important is that the Carthaginians defeated Dior, who had been a Lien Chan before. The news of the Nigerian army is like a stone breaking into the seemingly calm political situation in Sicily, which has created waves in some city-states.
After the Battle of Gera, although the Minorians repeatedly asked for help, Leo Tiddides continued to stay in Gera, while resting the troops and resisting the attack of the Carthaginians. In the case that his commanding force is getting less and less, he is even more reluctant to dismantle it and distribute it to various city-states. This will only be eaten by the Carthage army one by one, and compared to Minoa, he thinks that Gera The strategic location is even more important.
Of course, he couldn't sit idly by Minoa, so he sent a messenger and went to Pachinus with the Minoa messenger for help.
..........................................
On the 4th day after the Battle of Gera, Sicily Governor Cipros in Kataney received an urgent report from the Kingdom’s head of intelligence in Seychelles, Selophonis: military mobilization is taking place in the city of Syracuse, whose motives are unknown. .
To be cautious, Cipros immediately sent a messenger to inform the arrival of Katane, and was ordered to go to the seventh legion of Hera, to quickly return, stationed in a new military camp near Leotini to prevent accidents.
But the accident still happened. Pachinus promised to rescue Minoa and sent 3,000 reinforcements. Shortly after leaving the port by boat, he suddenly encountered the fleet of Syracuse.
In these years, the eastern Sicilian waters are the world of the second fleet of the Dionysian. The Syracuse navy, which once dominated Sicily, has long since disappeared and has shrunk into a fleet of only 30 three-tiered prize ships and a total of 50 warships. The small fleet, usually only patrolling the sea near its own city state, suddenly appeared in the sea near Pachinus, attacking the fleet of the troop.
Since the Dionysian Sicilian fleet has been stationed in Serinus for a while, while alerting the western waters and concerned about the war in Serinus, no warship guards were dispatched. Of course, the Pachinus did not ask Katanai. After all, it is far from the battlefield. The nearby seas have always been safe. It has close ties with Dionynia and is also close to the neighboring Syracuse. They think that from The navigation of your own city-state to Minoa should be safe. Therefore, the Pachinus only sent only five 3-layer paddle warships in their own city-state to escort, symbolically doing the same.
As a result, after being suddenly attacked by the Syracuse fleet, the Pachinus warship, despite its stubborn resistance, was outnumbered, except that four transport ships fled back to the port, and the rest were sunk.
At the same time, Syracuse sent an army of 12,000 people. It did not march north, attacking Tonys, which is very close to it, but turned to the south and quickly rushed to Kamanina. Claimed to "help the Kamanlina to resist the invasion of the Carthaginians."
After the Kamanina refused the request of the Syracuse army to enter the city, the Syracuse army immediately changed its face, surrounded the city of Kamanina, while attacking the city while sending messengers into the city, threatening Kamanli. Naren: Syracuse has already formed an alliance with Carthage, or re-attached to Syracuse, so that when the Carthage army arrives, it can be preserved; or choose to refuse, Syracuse will attack the city, after the city breaks The people in the city will be handed over to the Carthage.
Since Kamanlina has sent most of the civic soldiers to help Jiela, there are only over 500 Kamanina civic soldiers who can fight in the city at this time, and they are only weak and can only helplessly say: need Time to consider.
The Syracuse messenger was only arrogant for a day.
After the messenger returned, the Syracuse army not only immediately blocked the road from Kamanina to Jela, but also the Syracuse warship blocked its port.
At this time, the Carthage army, which won in the battle, had already moved the camp to the east and increased the siege of the city of Jela, so Leotizes was busy dealing with the attack of the Carthaginians, against Kaman. Lina’s change is ignorant.
Half a day later, the Dionysian merchant ship that ventured into the port brought news: the Syracuse fleet attacked the transport fleet of Pachinus and blocked the ports of Pachinus and Camalina.
After Leonettis knew it, he was shocked: Syracuse finally entered the war!
The addition of Syracuse has undoubtedly added to the predicament of Dionynia in Sicily, especially on the South Coast. The Dionyrian coalition not only has a more disadvantageous in terms of quantity, but also falls into a dangerous situation of being attacked by both sides in the strategic situation. .
Even if he wanted to reinforce Cammanina, Leonidez could not do anything for a time. He was threatened by the Carthage army on the land, and the Syracuse fleet was blocked by the sea. In the absence of fleet escort, it is feared that the fleet will not be able to enter the port of Kamanina and will feed the fish and shrimp.
Leo Tizides sent a Deonian Clipper docked in the port of Jela and immediately rushed to inform Sekelian in Sellinus.
One day later, the stunned Kamanina people saw the black Syracuse soldiers in the city head squatting on the ladder, pushing tall siege equipment, approaching the city wall, making them scared and afraid of suffering from Agger. The Cammanina who had been tragically suffered by Lizheng finally chose to surrender.
Over the past 10 years, due to the strength of the Kingdom of Dionia and the long-term friendly exchanges with the Kamanina, there are almost no citizens in the city of Kamanina, who have captured the city of Syracuse. For the time being, Zha people could not support a government close to themselves. In order to prevent rebellion, they demanded that the Kamanina people hand over many protons and let 3,000 Syracuse soldiers enter the city. The arrival of the base army can effectively prevent its destruction of Kamalina.
In addition, the Syracuse also requested that only 500 Kamanina soldiers be deployed and join the Syracuse army to coordinate operations.
The Kamanina, who is now a man-made knife and my fish, finally agreed to these conditions.
After the Syracuse army received the attachment of Kamanina, it did not lead the army to the west, and joined the Carthage army that was besieging Gera, but entered the city of Kamanina, leaving 3,000 soldiers stationed. The rest of the soldiers arrived by boat near the coast of Pachinus, surrounded by the city of Pachinus, and sent messengers into the city, asking them to return to Syracuse.
The Syracuse messenger threatened: If Pachinus refused this request~EbookFREE.me~ Syracuse would not only immediately kill more than 2,000 Pachinus citizens (Syracuse fleet sank Pa After the Chinus transport fleet, they did not go forward, but rescued the Pachnus corps who fell into the water and captured them. Then they led the army to attack the city of Pachinus. After the city was broken, the city was destroyed. All the people will be sold to the Carthaginians and slaves.
The threat of Syracuse scared the people of Pachinus, their city was surrounded by the Syracuse army, the port was blocked by the Syracuse warship, and the people looked at the city with thousands of tears in the city. The Pachinus, who was tied to the ground and stunned, was suddenly overwhelmed by the Pachinus, and a quick meeting was reached. This was quickly reached before the Dionyns entered Sicily. Pachnus, a city-state affiliated to Syracuse, once again attached to Syracuse.
In a few days, Syracuse has successively incorporated Pachinus and Kamanlina into their own alliances. In the twinkling of an eye, the southeastern corner of Sicily has once again become the sphere of influence of Syracuse, always dreaming. The citizens who relive the splendour of Syracuse are all rejoicing.
The plan was put forward, and despite the opposition of the peers, the chief general of Syracuse, Te Agennis, who strongly promoted the matter, was greatly praised by the people and gained a lot of prestige.
At the same time, however, some people expressed dissatisfaction with Taiaggens’s approach. For example, General Hiktas publicly questioned:
In order to obtain two small city-states, Syracuse took great risks to anger. Powerful Dionya, this is very dangerous! Taiaggenis, don't forget that the Carthaginians are far away in Afrika, and we are in Syracuse next to Dionia!"
