Vol 8 Chapter 301: 2 strong encounters

Only the Carthage sailors who had survived the Carthage flagship were not driven off the sea. They were evenly distributed on the decks of the various warships. The crew members who had been captured by the Carthaginians and were lucky to survive were holding wooden sticks and The whip returns all the abuses suffered before to the enemy.

On the flagship, only two captains, the admiral of Admiral and Carthage, were left behind.

Mido Lades asked the Captain Captain's hand to stab the sailor with a spear and avenged his sergeant.

When Midorades turned his attention to Admiral, the former Iberian fleet commander and the Magonid family were calm, but they looked calm: "Do it."

Midorades smiled: "You are the biggest trophy in this naval battle. How can I easily let you die?"

Said, he let his men take a helmet, let the crew pee in, and then to the front of Admira, said coldly: "Either drink the urine inside, or cut off your pee, choose."


Admiral finally turned his face.

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

On the day of the naval battle, the new fleet of Carthage lost 70 warships and nearly 13,000 crew members; the 3rd fleet of the Republic of Denia lost 56 warships, and 7 warships suffered different degrees of damage, no Capture any enemy ship.

After Arnobas escaped to the port of Saros, he was busy reorganizing the ship that had fled back and did not lead the team to go out to meet Admiral. Mainly because of the failure of the plan, he had the main responsibility. For a time, he did not know how to face the Iberian navy general who looked like his man, but his competitors, simply could not see The heart is not bothered.

Who knows that at night, suddenly came the news: the Devonians defeated the fleet led by Admiral, and even Admiral himself was captured.

Annobas was shocked: the news he had received before was that the Dionysian fleet had returned north to Alenia. Unexpectedly, these terrible Diaonians dared to go back and fight the fleet of Admiralka!

If the last time he could blame the storm for the destruction of the fleet, this time he had to face the terrible fighting power and strong fighting spirit of the Dionysian.

In the next few days, the remaining fleet of Carthage was huddled in the port, letting the Denonia fleet provoke and never fight.

The route from Sardinia to Carthage was cut again.

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

The army led by Daves left Gera and continued to march west along the coastline. He was sleeping in Econum and Agrigento. Both towns were destroyed by the Carthage, and Davers had enough The time allowed the soldiers to build the camp, and the Carthage army did not appear.

On the fourth day, the army arrived in Minoa, and the city built on the hill was destroyed more seriously.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we can only build camps on the flat land opposite the river." Tolmide suggested.

Davers stood on the hill overlooking the lowlands to the west. Although the fields had been harvested, the field of vision was still golden.

He asked: "This is the last time that Prosuos led the army to defeat the Carthaginians?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tolmide's finger north: "It is said that the camp of the Prososus army chief was built there."

Davers turned around and looked at it for a while, then turned and looked to the front and asked, "How far is the city of Sellinus from here?"

"About a hundred miles," Tolmide replied.

Devers thought for a moment and issued an order: "We are stationed on the mountain, telling the engineers to quickly survey the terrain, let the troops speed up the march, and quickly go up the mountain to clean up the city of Minoa..."

"Yes!" Tormide, although slightly dissatisfied with Daves's cautiousness, knew that Davis's idea had been fixed, and therefore did not make any opposing opinions.

Just as they were about to return to the ruined city of Minoa, a team of Dionysians on the west side of the ground came and ran across the Pletani River and rushed to the foot of the mountain, eagerly high. Shouted: "Report! Carthage of Carthage is coming! There are many, many!"

Some soldiers immediately returned after hearing it, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Daves said indulgingly: "It seems that the Carthaginians can't help it anymore."

"Your Majesty, I will inform the troops who have already gone to the mountain to prepare for the defense immediately."

Davers nodded and Tolmed turned and left.

Davers looked around and pointed to a large section of the city wall west of Minoia, which was still standing in front of him. He said, "Let's go to the city to see the enemy."

The court guard chief Martius immediately dissuaded: "Your Majesty, Minoa City is seriously damaged, the wall may not be strong and easy to be dangerous."

"Send someone to confirm." Davers did not give up.

Martius had to send a team of guards to the wall to explore, and later said: "The wall is still relatively strong."

Davers immediately stalked to the wall, and others could only follow.

Standing in the city, looking west, the vision is wider.

The Carthage cavalry came very quickly, and they poured into the flat lowland like the tide, and their striker had already reached the other side of the Platani River.

"There are so many cavalry in Carthage, I don't think there are at least 5000 rides!" Henipolis, next to him, exclaimed.

"Accurately speaking, those alien cavalry who should be recruited by Carthage, the real Carthage cavalry may only occupy a small part of it." Daphus widened his eyes and pointed at the mountain under the dust. The Carthage cavalry, seriously said: "You see, the cavalry with very simple equipment but the largest number of people should be Nubians, they are good at projecting javelins; and there... with leather helmets, The cavalry with the long sword should be the Iberian; as for the Carthage cavalry... Oh, finally found them, where they were wearing shiny armor; I heard that Ma Ge also hired some cavalry from Mauritania, but The Mauritanian cavalry and the Numidian cavalry are similarly dressed, and it is difficult to distinguish..." Daves said as many as Jane.

"It seems that Carthage's cavalry are all coming together. Our cavalry corps, although less, should not lose to them?" Henipolis, who did not know much about the military, was against the kingdom. The Legion Army is very confident.

Daves was silent for a moment and said calmly: "In terms of cavalry, we are weaker than the Carthaginians."

In the previous battles, several cavalry regiments suffered different levels of loss, and they were not well supplemented afterwards. After all, cavalry is different from infantry, it is too expensive and not easy to cultivate. But even if the four cavalry regiments of Dionia are full and assembled together, Davers does not think that they have the confidence to defeat these enemy mounts under the mountain. The cavalry wants to win, mainly relying on riding, quantity and training. The training of the Dionysian cavalry is naturally stronger than the opponent, but on the other two points, Dionya is not dominant.

After listening to Henipolis, he suddenly stopped. After a moment, he said comfortably: "There is nothing. Our Daiyan army relies mainly on the infantry corps, and they are much better than Carthage."

At this time, Printos, who was also watching the enemy, said in a deep voice: "The infantry of Carthage is also coming."

Daves did not speak, staring at the battlefield with concentration: I saw the Carthage infantry of a team in the distance entering the lowland plain from the west, and the original wilderness was being filled by the Carthage army...

Daves held some cracked cities, and said softly, thoughtfully: "It seems that Marge is really ready to fight with us here."

When Henipolis heard this, he blinked and curiously asked: "Here? We are on the mountain, they are under the mountain? This is not a good choice. Why don't we wait for our march to this lowland under the mountain, they Fighting again?"

Daves did not answer, but looked at Princeton.

Printoles understood that this was King Davers’s examination of himself. He thought about it:
If the Carthaginians let us enter the lowlands below, we can send troops to block the coastal road leading to the west. It’s easy to organize defenses, and the Carthaginians are more troublesome to attack, and their superior strength cannot be expanded.


"Then why the Carthaginians do not simply occupy the city of Minoa? Then they have the advantage of defense, and our army will be in trouble." Facing Printoles, Henipolis Asking questions is more direct and bold.

Printors’ answer was also very quick:
If that is the case, I want to leave you, you will not go to Minora any more, but will return to Agrigento and even Jela. In this way, Jiatai The base people should be anxious. I think they gave up these towns on the south coast and then withdrew to the west, in order to lure our troops to attack west. EbookFREE.me~ This is convenient for them to fight and facilitate their Supply of military food..."

Henipolis said with a big sigh: "The Carthaginians chose this place as a battlefield because he thought we and they could accept it?"

Daves smiled and said: "I heard that Marge is a decisive, determined, but not meticulous person. It is rare that he considers it so thoughtfully and takes care of our feelings!"

"Your Majesty, are we going to fight here with Carthage?" Henipolis immediately excited.

Daves glanced at Princeton, who looked awkwardly, and said softly: "It's a pity, I don't plan to follow the script written by Marco."

Henipolis "oh".

At this time, several senior generals such as Amintas, Matonis, Olivers, and Trotilla rushed to the wall, and panted and shouted: "Reporting, Your First Corps was ordered to arrive!" ... The Second Legion was ordered to arrive!... The Fourth Army was ordered to arrive!... The Sixth Army was ordered to arrive!...The Roman Preparatory Brigade was ordered to arrive!..."
