This angered the Silinus people, and they shouted angrily: "As long as the Carthaginians dare to leave, Silinus will immediately surrender to Dioria!"
Millefio hesitated again when he heard the threat.
At the time when the two sides were arguing, the soldiers of the Eighth Legion who landed have rushed to the city of Selinus.
After hearing the news, Millefio, who had ascended to the head of the city, saw the enemy outside the city with a black helmet and black armor, a neat army, and a high morale. He immediately remembered that the Holy Corps army he led was taken by this Dionian Legion. The scene of defeating and chasing head-on made him feel chills. He lacked confidence in whether he could lead the remnant army out of the city to repel the enemy, or successfully avoid the enemy's attack, and return to Liliba smoothly.
After discussing urgently with the same fearful team officers, Millefio decided to stay in the city and urgently sent a messenger to Lilibo for help.
The messenger rushed to Lilibo and reported to Monte Adeno that "The Dionian army is marching towards Serinus, and the return of the troops led by Millefio has been cut off" and told Silinus is now in tight rations and hopes that Monte Arderno can send troops to rescue him.
Monte Adeno, who has been slightly relieved from yesterday’s fiasco, did not sneer as Millefio had imagined. On the contrary, he considered that the Senate might punish him for his defeat, for his own sake. For fate, he had to restore the relationship with Millefio, so he immediately issued a rescue order, so that the generals quickly assemble the army, this time he will personally lead the army to Serinus to rescue.
But this round and round, including the time spent in the middle, was enough for the main force of Dionia to rush to Serinus, so Monte Arderno saw Dionia waiting in line outside the city. The army, he can only bite the bullet to fight.
The bugle blew, and not long after the two sides fought, the morale of the Numibian soldiers quickly retreated. Although this time fighting in a wide area, the Numibian cavalry's capabilities have been brought into play, but it does not affect the overall situation at all.
The reinforcements led by Monte Arderno were defeated and fled back to profit in a hurry. The Dionian army suffered a slight loss, so that Millefio, who was standing at the head of the city watching the battle, was completely relieved of his thoughts of going out of the city.
Leotizides did not let the soldiers desperately pursue the defeated soldiers in Monte Arderno, and asked the army to build a camp outside the city of Serinus, which seemed to have led to Carthage and Tin The city-state that was the culprit of more than ten years of war in Rakuza was completely besieged.
During this period, Monte Adeno, who fled to Lilibo, did not give up his efforts. He sent a messenger to Palermos and ordered Hasdrogba to lead the Iberian troops to rescue Serinus.
Hasdroba didn’t obey Monte Adeno’s orders very much, and now I heard that the main force of Carthage was defeated by the Dionians while taking advantage of the forces, and even more so against Monte Adeno. Nuo ignored it.
Poor Millefio watched the Dionian camp outside the city expand and become stronger day by day, and even heard the spies report that "The Dionians built super siege towers in the camp." The mood is naturally getting anxious day by day.
Only fortunately, Dionia's blockade of the sea is not too tight. The Clippers sent by Silinus escaped the enemy's interception many times and went to Carthage for help.
Several days later, the Carthage Senate finally stopped the argument and reached a resolution: to remove the position of commander of the Carthage army in Monte Adno and take him back to Carthage for trial. Iberian Governor Margo was appointed as the new commander-in-chief of the army. While he was not in office, the veteran Pomilka temporarily took his post to deal with the affairs of the Sicilian army urgently.
Pomilka, he neither belongs to the Magonis faction, nor is he close to Hanno, but belongs to the neutral faction of the Senate. However, he is different from Aisyaluba. He has a good relationship with the other two factions. Perhaps for this reason, his election as acting commander in chief is also recognized by most veterans.
After being appointed, Pomirka immediately rushed to Lilivi by ship, and by the way, announced the Senate’s resolution to Monte Arderno. Monte Arderno, who had already expected this result, was guarded without resistance. Detained, after all, as the prestigious patriarch of Carthage, his resistance or even escape will seriously affect the future of his relatives and the prestige of the family.
Pomilka personally sent Monte Arderno to the port.
Before boarding the ship, Monte Adeno, with a gray face, couldn't help but reminded: "...Dionia is different from the enemies we have encountered before. Their soldiers are fierce and their generals are also very strong. Cunning, and the combat effectiveness of our Namibian troops is really worrying, so even if the force is more than them, we must be vigilant when fighting!..."
Pomilka thanked him for the reminder.
Finally, Monte Adeno sighed: "The Senate has been worried for so long, but let Margo, the leader of the alien race, become the commander of the Carthage army! This is not a good thing for Carthage!"
Pomilka silently watched Monte Arderno board the passenger ship, and then he turned back to the city of Lilili. The next thing he had to do was to solve the Carthaginian fleet and Iberia The contradiction of the fleet.
Because the Iberian fleet was established by the Magonis family with their own money, Margo did not want this fleet to be controlled by the Senate, so as the leader of the Magonis family’s fleet, Admika Unwilling to put the fleet into the Carthage fleet, accept the command of the fleet commander Annobas.
In the name of acting commander-in-chief, Pomirka invited Anlobas and Admika to discuss together at the mansion of Lilibi, and solemnly announced to them the decision of the Senate: the Iberian fleet accepts Katai The command of Annobas, the commander of the base fleet, is a prerequisite for agreeing to Margot's succession as the commander of the Carthage army.
Admika looked at Ambalos, and Ambalos gave him a friendly smile.
Admika was not bewildered by his smile. He had heard Margo say when he was in Iberia that Anobath was not friendly to the Magonyd faction. Of course, he used to be close to the Magonis family in the Senate, so he became the commander of the Carthage navy when he led the army to attack Syracuse more than two decades ago, and was in naval battles. China defeated the main fleet of Syracuse led by Leptinius. However, the Carthage army suffered a disastrous defeat under the city of Syracuse. In order to survive, Shimirko had a private conversation with Dionysius, and In order to keep secret, Annobas was not informed. As a result, Shimirko led his cronies and successfully escaped by more than a dozen ships, while the Carthage fleet led by Annobas was trapped in the great port of Siracusa, almost lost. Finally, under the desperate rescue of his subordinates, he took a clipper and barely escaped his life. Since then, he hated the Magonis family and became a neutral faction.
In fact, it is precisely because of this that the Senate will continue to entrust him with the task of commanding the Carthage fleet in order to check and balance Margo, who has already mastered a powerful military force.
Although Admika knew Margot's desire for the position of commander of the Carthage army, he was uneasy to let the Iberian fleet be returned to Annobas. However, the loss of the naval battle not long ago took away a lot of his hard spirits. He did not dare to object directly, so he tweeted, "This fleet was built by Lord Margot himself. I cannot make a decision. I must get the consent of Lord Margot. ."
Pomilka did not force it, but immediately sent a messenger to Iberia to consult Margot. During this time, he also sent a messenger to Hasdruba stationed in Palamos. I hope this young and promising general can lead his army south to rescue the besieged Carthage army.
Pomilka’s humble tone was in line with Hasdruba’s appetite. He almost immediately decided to lead the team. Fortunately, Kisgow reminded him: “Repulsed the enemy and saved the friendly army. At that time, who was the credit for? Maybe the Senate thought that Pomirka could also command us as the commander in chief, so there would be no need for Lord Margo..."
Hasdruba listened to his opinion and did not respond to Pomirka, and continued to lead the army in Palermos to watch the battle.
Pomilka has nothing to do with it.
But a few days later, Margot’s reply came: He agreed to Pomilkard’s suggestion to let the Iberian fleet follow the command of Carthage Admiral Annobas, but asked Annobas not to interfere. Management of the fleet.
So, the Carthage fleet and the Iberian fleet were unified under the command of Annobas, bringing the total strength of its navy to about 540 warships, of which 432 were the main three-tiered paddle warships. It can be described as powerful.
At the same time, Pomilka's mission to Annobas also came: In view of the critical situation of Silinus, Lilibi must urgently deliver food and soldiers for him, and asked the Carthage fleet to **** the fleet.
In fact, during this period of time, the Dionian army has launched several attacks on the city of Serinus, and Millefio has sent the Clippers to Lili for help many times, although Carthage The Senate has transported the first 4,000 mobilized Carthage citizens to Lilibal, but given the current state of the Carthage army, Pomilka dared not lead the army to rescue by land, so he set his sights on On the sea where the Dionian military force is relatively weak, through sea transportation, reinforcements are sent to Silinus to strengthen Silinus’s defensive power, use it to hold the enemy, consume the enemy’s spirit, and wait for Margo. Bring the army to come.
However, Annobas has repeatedly rejected Pomilka’s request on the grounds that the command of the Iberian fleet has not been resolved, and it is impossible to cooperate on the battlefield, which will easily lead to failure. And the strength of the Carthage fleet alone is not enough to match Dionia's fleet.
Although the Carthage fleet has been docked at the military ports of the city-states at the western end of Sicily, Annobas has been paying attention to the movements of the Dionian Sicilian fleet and has some understanding of the strength of its fleet. Of course, on the other hand, he is also urging Pomilka to resolve the problem of the Iberian fleet as soon as possible.
