Vol 8 Chapter 282: Defeat

"The Achillion barrier was lost, and Prossous was unable to take it back. The Sikal faced the persecution of the Carthagin army. They did not know that the reinforcements were coming. Moreover, the Carthaginians were still very good at Fighting in the mountains... In the face of such a dilemma, the choices that the Sikels will make, we are hard to speculate.
Tolmid said with a dignified look:
But if these lives in the western edge of the Sicilian territory, Sikel The tribes have surrendered to the Carthaginians, and that will definitely cause a lot of trouble for our Sicilian territory!"

Davers slammed the wooden table with his hand and said, "I decided to let the entire army land in Katane, and knock back the army of Carthage from the front!"

"Your Majesty, when you were discussing at the Saturnik camp, were you not planning to let the army land in the sinister west of Sicily and cut off the return of the Carthaginian army?" Mattonis questioned.

"Yes, I have proposed such a plan, but the premise of implementing this plan is that the Carthaginians lost their sea power and could not pose a threat to our landing fleet." Daves pointed to the Sicilian on the wooden table map. The island, the tone is gently explained: "But now the situation has changed, the new fleet of the Carthaginians has been put into use, and it is not known how many warships are being built in the shipyards of the Phoenician allies... I believe everyone is still right. When we landed on Latin, the memory of the situation was still fresh. The number of ships loaded with our various regiments was so large that it was impossible to win the eyes and ears of the Carthaginians. It was impossible to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack. At that time, the Carthaginians would Every effort is made to mobilize all the sea forces to stop us from landing.

It was all about the time when Lamam landed, and we spent nearly half a day. If you landed in the west of Sicily, there was a hardship of the Carthaginians. It would be a long time to complete the landing. After all, it belongs to the Carthaginians. The scope of control is more conducive to their combat. Even if we can bring together the Sicilian fleet and the 3rd fleet, it won't necessarily take advantage of it... and even if the landing is completed, such a huge army needs huge food consumption, and the next food supply may have to rely on it. Maritime transport, this will be a big problem again!


Davers looked around and saw that they did not refute, but fell into thought, and said loudly: "And the Sicilian territory is being destroyed and threatened by the Carthagin army. The people are eagerly looking forward to our rescue, and if we set them up I don’t care, I would rather take great risks to go to the west of Sicily, what would they think! So, it’s imperative that the Carthaginians be driven out of the Sicilian territory so that the people can rebuild their homes quickly!"

Everyone heard this and felt reasonable. They nodded and expressed their support.

At this time, Epiphanis interjected: "Your Majesty, the plan for the entire army to land in western Sicily was cancelled, but one or two legions could be allowed to land."

Davers looked at him and said: "This issue is no longer discussed today. Three days ago, the Ministry of Military Affairs had informed the city's reserve soldiers to gather in the military camps in the West. These two days, your task is to add them as soon as possible. Your army, let the army re-edit. After two days, we will depart to Katanay."

"What about the Roman soldiers who surrendered?" Amintas asked.

Davers had long considered it and said: "They still keep them in their respective teams. Each team has one more Romans. With the addition of the reserve soldiers, the proportion of Roman soldiers in the army will be diluted, I think This is more conducive to the stability of the team, but also to the accelerated integration of these Romans into it..."

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

"Ma Ge, look at it! Our soldiers have occupied the city!" The adjutant excitedly danced.

It is no wonder that he has such a performance. Tens of thousands of Carthage soldiers besieged this seemingly small city of Paragonha. The attack on more than half a month has not made much progress except for the death and injury of many soldiers. Now I finally got rid of this hard bone.

Ma Ge, who had been gloomy on these days, finally showed his smile. He said loudly: "Give me the name of the attacking army, let the soldiers seize the opportunity and continue to attack the city and break the second of the Dionyrians. The city walls will destroy all the people in the city!"

"Yes!"


Hey!...
Ma Ge listened to the sound of the squadron, watching hundreds of soldiers swarming into the city of Paragonia, and the killing sounds from the city were getting weaker...

Marge tightened his fists, and he was eager to break the inner wall that created a lot of trouble for the siege soldiers.

The Carthage soldiers who took over the city quickly rushed down the walls from all directions, screaming into the city, chasing the enemies who fled, and they were extremely excited, but they rarely paid attention to the ditch in the ditch beside the criss-crossing streets. It’s not a stinking septic, it’s a thick tar, and there’s a lot of freshly harvested straw in an empty house...

On the inner wall, the leader of the 7th Corps of the Dionynia, Teminides, looked at the enemy in the city as quickly as the tide, and decisively issued the order: "Close the gate!"

"The captain, there are still many brothers who are retreating to the inner city, they will arrive soon! Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer!" The seventh army team officer on the side asked anxiously.

Taiminides had bitten his teeth and said with a hard heart: "It’s too late, and when they reach the city, the Carthaginians rushed into the inner city! By that time, everything we had worked hard was in vain!"

Having said that, he raised the volume and shouted: "Guanchengmen!"

After the order was issued, he then raised his right arm and slammed it down: "Let the rocket!"

More than a dozen rockets were shot into the trenches under the city, and immediately ignited a circle of flames, and quickly spread along the gutters connected to them...

"Captain, give!" The guard handed the wet linen to Teminiides.

Taiminides looked at the soldiers who had been covered with linen, reached for it and covered it with his nose and mouth.

Not long after, the whole outer city has become a sea of ​​fire. The Carthage soldiers who had been pushing forward with impetuosity are now panicked and want to retreat backwards. However, the narrow streets and crowds of people have made them unable to do so. Just as they madly pushed each other and even killed them, the flames and smoke covered them...

In the sea of ​​fire in the outer city, there are screams of sorrow everywhere. These voices must also have Dionian soldiers who have not yet retired into the inner city in time.

Taiminides has closed his eyes in pain, holding the city, slowly kneeling, silently mourning in his heart: "Great Hades! You are the protector of the Kingdom of Dionia, you are fair and strict The Lord of the Prison, I urge you to give these warriors who died for the kingdom a fair trial, so that their souls can get the shelter they deserve..."

It’s not just that Tymenides is praying, all the soldiers on the inner city are doing the same thing, although the solid walls block the fire from spreading inward, but the hot waves are suffocating and suffocating, but each one The man is always motionless, facing the burning fire of devout prayers...

The Carthaginians who were in the city's appearance wars were thunderous because they were about to break the city. They suddenly saw the flames rising in the city and quickly enveloped the whole city. All of them were shocked and soon became a panic by the shock: "God! The Daonians are crazy, they lit the whole town!"

"Fast! Quickly withdraw the troops!"

"You blame this fire! It's too late! The soldiers rushed to the inside in order to make meritorious deeds, and blocked the gates of the various cities. This is not a short time to withdraw!"

......

Seeing that the victory is about to come, the blink of an eye has become desperate, and Margotton feels uncomfortable in his heart, and there is nowhere to vent his anger. He immediately took the spear from the guard and threw himself to a man who just fled the fire city. The Namibian soldier who fled in this direction, the spear pierced his chest.

Marco looked at the soldiers around him with a sullen look. "All my mother shuts me up!"

The followers suddenly chilled.

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

In the evening, Pomirka entered the big account of the Carthage military camp.

In the daytime, the grievances and inaccessible Ma Ge are now eating the cooked lamb legs in the calm mouth.

Seeing that Pomirka came in, he picked up half of the leg of the leg and said, "Agridento's lamb is delicious. Would you like to come together?"

"Thank you, I have used dinner." Pomirkara took a wooden chair and sat opposite him~EbookFREE.me~ whispered: "Next... what plans do you have?"

"What do you mean?" Marco looked at him and asked.

"Ma Ge, the Daonians burned the entire outskirts of Paragonia. We suffered heavy losses. According to statistics just released, nearly 2,000 soldiers were burned and more than 2,000 soldiers were burned. From the siege of Paragonia to the present, the number of dead and wounded soldiers has reached 7,000!
With the constant presentation of the facts by Pomirka, the original tone has become heavy:
A small Paragonia Let us take it without any means, let alone the Daioniya military camp, Leotini, Katanay, which is larger than the area, and we can’t stop playing like this! Otherwise, wait for Diony When the aid forces of Asia came, we might not have enough power to confront them positively!"

"What do you want to say?" Margot asked, and asked impatiently.

"I believe you have received the news from Sardinia, 'from the huge fleet of Dionia, from Latin to carry soldiers down to Trina... 'I am afraid that the Dionyns have won In the war with Rome, the army is about to land in Sicily. Should we temporarily stop the attack on Katana, so that we are fully prepared to fight against the main force of Dionia?"
