Vol 8 Chapter 337: House seemingly endless rain

Ma Geben still wants to make up for this deficiency by taking advantage of the number of people, and eventually kills the other side, but when the number of casualties is close to 2,000, he stops sending troops to the tunnel.
And Amintas also quickly blocked the three tunnels. The First Corps and the reserve soldiers also paid nearly 500 casualties. Fortunately, in every battle, the Daiyan soldiers won, so they can The injured soldier rescued the treatment.
..........................................
Ma Ge squinted and sat in the big account, he was sulking himself.
Carthage people thrive on the trade of precious metals. Many citizens are engaged in the mining industry. The Magonid family is no exception. Especially after moving to southern Iberia, the army he led occasionally part-time miners during non-combat operations. So his army is good at excavating the tunnel. The reason why he did not do this when attacking Paragonia is because the town is located at the foot of the mountain, the geology is too hard, it is not easy to excavate, and Serinus can .
The last time he was besieged in the city of Sellinus, he built the earth wall to try to pass the tunnel attack, but soon after Hassruda raided the south coast, the battle changed, he did not have time to implement, and this time he was carefully The planning and sufficient time, when the tunnel was successfully excavated under the wall of Sellinus, the Dionyns have not yet discovered that there are two choices at this time: one is to turn to the horizontal excavation, the foundation of the wall Then pull out the wooden pillars that support the tunnel, let the walls collapse, and there is a gap; the other is to continue to dig into the city, and then wait until the evening, send troops to sneak into the city through the tunnel, directly attack the Diaonians, occupy the city .
Marco chose the latter because he thought that this method could solve the Serinus defender more quickly and effectively, but he did not expect it to be discovered by the Dionyns, and finally evolved into this, and from now on, Dai Ou The Nigerians will certainly be more vigilant, and it will be difficult to dig a tunnel for a sneak attack.
Marco was regretting, and the messenger sent by Hasbrodaba entered the big account and gave him a blow: Hasdruba wanted to attack the Dionyrian army that attacked Palermo, and the result was an ambush. 4,000 Lusitania warriors were wiped out.
Marco was holding the name of Hasbrod in the big account, and it was a bitter to him. He even said that he was too stupid to be a child of the Magonid family. He forgot that he had just experienced a sneak attack. I was so scared that the messenger was banned.
After the fire, Ma Ge calmed down: Hasdruba’s army was blocked and could not rescue Palermos. Only hoped that Palemos could hold on to himself, but now there are not many Palermo defenders. Must have to strengthen its defensive power, but now the land is nowhere...
Marco thought for a while and decided to transport the reinforcements to Palemos by the sea. It was definitely not possible during the day and it was easy to be discovered. It was only at night, which was a little risky.
Although Ma Ge had just suffered the failure of the tunnel plan, but did not wear off the sharpness in his bones, he immediately let his hand convene the 3,000 members of the Palermomon in the army, and added another 1,000 Soros people. The 4,000 people immediately rushed to Lili, let Imiser think of a way, summon the cargo ships in the port, and send them to Palermoes as soon as possible tonight.
In these two days, the soldiers heard that the mother state was under attack and kept yelling to go back. This was what they wanted, so the soldiers stepped on the road even in the dark and rushed to Lili in the middle of the night.
But the sentinels at the head of the city of Lili banned them from entering the city, because the Sicilian fleet cruised the western waters every day, and sometimes sent fleet infantry to the shore, so that the Carthage and Phoenician city states were as scared as they were, especially so much. In the middle of the night, the soldiers want to enter the military town of Lilitun. Of course, they must be very cautious. The city owner, Imiser, must go to the city to conduct a strict inspection before entering the city.
It took nearly an hour after the identification of the body and the knowledge of the army. Imiser was rushing to send people to the port to inquire. The result was already late.
It turned out that since the Dionysian fleet began to control the western waters, the ships that came to Lili俾 gradually decreased, and now basically disappeared, and some boat owners of Lili俾 are not willing to keep the ships in this blockade. There is no profit in the port, and they have also found a chance to flee to Carthage. This makes the number of ships in the port not much, far enough to carry 4,000 troops at a time (at least 100 large cargo ships are required), the only one The opportunity is to come to the Carthage army to transport the heavy fleet at night.
Although Molbal had successfully organized a large-scale transportation of rations and heavy weights to Sicily by means of "Ming Xiu Road, Darkness and Chen Cang", he knew very well that the consumption of the 100,000 army was huge, only one transport. It was not enough, and after the Daonian fleet learned the lesson, the next time it would be impossible to use this method, he came up with a solution.
Under his proposal, the Carthage Senate passed a decision: Let Carthage and the nearby Phoenician city state trade with Sicily all the year round, familiar with the sea conditions there, and the maritime experienced ship owners composed of three dozens. The small fleet of cargo ships takes turns to load food and materials during the day, set off at dusk, and arrive at Lilitun, or Mazara, or Erlux in the middle of the night... (The destination is a temporary decision at the time of departure, to avoid the route being too fixed, After being noticed by the Diaonians, the fleet was ready to leave the port immediately after unloading the cargo, avoiding the collision with the Veonia cruise ship after dawn.
Therefore, the port workers in these cities are resting during the day and waiting at night, and the flame of the lighthouse is extremely bright. Of course, if the weather is bad at night, these small fleets will stop shipping.
So far the fleet has been successfully transported several times, although each shipment has not much material, but it wins in the long stream.
Coincidentally, the destination of this fleet tonight is Lili, but unfortunately the team has left when Imisere sent people to the port.
In addition to sighing, Imiser decided to send people to inform Mazara and Erlux in the morning, no matter which port of the city the Carthage fleet arrived in tomorrow night, they should be informed to help transport the soldiers.
In addition, he also asked the two cities to drive the idle cargo ships in the port to Lili, and to have a sufficient number of ships to transport the soldiers to Palermoes at one time.
After making these decisions and placing the soldiers in the military camp, Imishre finally went back to sleep with confidence.
.......................................
Not long after Marco was sent away from the reinforcements, he received a messenger from Lili, who brought the order of the Senate: the Senate decided because the Denonia fleet had attacked the Phoenician League in Afrikaa several times. Returning the fleet to defend the local coastline, and hope that Ma Ge can speed up the siege and capture the city of Sellinus as soon as possible.
After reading this order, Marco was angry again: although since Molbal won the naval battle, there was no victory during this time, the Venetian fleet continued to cruise in the western waters, but the Carthage fleet was in the west. The looming presence of the sea area made the Daionia fleet dare to sneak into the rear of the Carthage army on a large scale. The number of attacks was significantly reduced, and he was able to concentrate on building the inner and outer walls of the camp. With Tushan, concentrate on attacking the city of Sellinus. Now that the fleet was transferred back to Carthage, the Dionysian fleet could unscrupulously harass the rear of the army, forcing Ma Ge to distract him. Moreover, the defense of the Daonian defenders is close, and if the Carthaginian army is in a strong attack, even if the city of Sellinus is finally taken, the casualties will be inevitably heavy, and how can the intention of decisive battle with the main force of Dionia be achieved!
Margo was extremely skeptical that the order of the Senate was made under the shackles of the Hanno faction. While cursing Hanno in his heart, he also decided to ignore this order and orderly attack the city according to the original plan.
On the second day, the Carthage soldiers continued to build the mountain, and they had begun to smash the earth into the wooden frame.
The soldiers of the Balearic heads on the inner wall continue to throw the shots and suppress the long-range attacks of the defenders of the city of Serenus, so that the construction of the earth hills can be carried out in an orderly manner.
While Amintas let the light infantry in the city and the artillery units that moved to the city attack the busy Carthage soldiers in front of the city to destroy and delay the enemy's construction of the mountain, he also let the mountain reconnaissance squad soldiers Distributed throughout the city's trenches, listen carefully to the underground movements, to prevent the other side from digging the tunnel again. In addition, he also assigned some soldiers to assist the engineering camp to build wooden walls.
..........................................
At night ~EbookFREE.me~ The Carthage fleet and the cargo ships of Mazara and Erlux arrived in Lili, and after carrying 4,000 reinforcements, more than one hundred cargo ships sneaked north. Eventually entered the port of Palermo smoothly.
When the soldiers jumped out of the boat in excitement, boarded the dock, and prepared to rush back to their homes to enjoy the warmth of their wives and children, there were countless black helmets in front of them surrounded by black soldiers.
The hearts of the reinforcements soldiers suddenly fell to the bottom: Palermos has been occupied by the Diaonians? !
The truth is: Palermoes surrendered to the Dionysian army.
Why did Leo Tiddides and Midolades seem to have more confidence when they attacked Palermo, because his team had the ones that Daves had left for him to help him attack the city of Syracuse. Hundreds of engineers, when they left Syracuse by boat, they also tried to dismantle the siege equipment used to attack Syracuse, place it in the cargo ship, and transport it together.
