lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

"Very good defensive measures!" Daves said once again approvingly: "It seems that facing the upcoming siege of such a large number of Carthage troops, you are not afraid, but are actively It’s great to use your brains and think of better defenses!".

Davers walked up to the top of the city and looked out.

In his field of vision, not only is it dusty, but also full of voices. Through the gray dust and fog, countless figures a hundred meters away from the city are like hard-working ants constantly busy. They are digging a long dirt trench around the city of Silinus, and at the same time they pile up the excavated soil to ram it back. Behind the unfinished soil barrier is a contiguous camp, with a tent like the sky. The stars are countless, and further away there is another built earth wall surrounding the city of Silinus......

Davos stared for a while, and the expression on his face became serious: "It seems that the Carthaginians are serious this time. They are really ready to attack the city of Selinus!"

"I'm afraid the Carthaginians have no choice but to attack the city of Silinus." Alexis said.

Daves nodded and did not speak. When he walked down the tower, he specially observed the soldiers patrolling the city. They all looked tense and their muscles tensed.

After arriving at the lord’s residence, Daves immediately called a military meeting.

"The situation in Silinus is severe, and the Carthaginians attack is imminent. What do you think?" Daves asked straightforwardly.

"Your Majesty, you must immediately reinforce Silinus. I am willing to lead the First Army to defend against Silinus!" Amintas offered to fight. He stayed in Minoa during this time and he also watched. Coming out: Daves does not intend to fight the Carthaginians in a short time, and Serinus will surely become the focus of the next war.

"I agree with Amintas, Silinus must be reinforced!" Alexis also said: "However, the strength of one legion is still too small, and there are at least two legions reinforcements, so as to ensure While completing the defense, there are still troops that can take the initiative to attack and disrupt the Carthaginian offense.

Just now Calsidis gave me a good inspiration. In the past, we used to place multiple barriers outside the city and camp in defense to achieve the purpose of obstructing and killing the enemy. Now it is impossible for the Carthaginian army to suppress the territory. Detailed arrangements are made outside the city, but defensive measures can be built inside the city. Why not repair a few more internal walls and arrange more traps? After all, what we want to protect is the port. There are no residents in the city. We can use it as a battlefield to achieve the purpose of killing and injuring Carthage soldiers on a large scale! However, it takes a lot of manpower to demolish the houses in the city, build the city walls, traps and other facilities in a short time..."

Davos listened carefully while thinking, and then he said to Amintas sternly: "Have you heard all of Alexis's suggestions just now? What do you think?"

Amintas said eagerly: "Alexis’s proposal is very good, but they are all after the enemy began to attack the city. If I were the commander of the city of Silinus, I would ask your majesty Dispatch a cavalry corps to give me command. The Carthaginians are now building walls at such a close distance, which actually creates obstacles to their use of cavalry. I will send cavalry corps to carry out raids on them from time to time.

In addition, I would like to ask your Majesty to allocate all the ballistas and abdominal bows to me, and I will place them all on the city’s head, carry out precise attacks on the Carthaginians, and continue to inflict them on the Carthaginians. Kill..."

After listening to Daves, he pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Amintas, I appoint you as the commander of Silinus, leading the First Army, Sixth Army, First Cavalry Army, and Sellin. The defenders of Nus, a total of 22,000 people, will hold on to the city of Silinus for me. If you fall, don’t come to see me!"

The reason why Amintas was selected as the commander of Serinus, Daves has his own considerations: Although Amintas sometimes loses his cool in the offense because of being too aggressive, but in the defense, he His performance is much more calm, but he can give full play to his experienced expertise, which is very obvious in the Ostia defensive battle.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will make Silinus a Hell for the Carthaginians!" Amintas said loudly, invigorated.

"I will notify Sekrian and ask him to mobilize some of the crew to assist your troops in completing the construction of the defensive facilities of the city of Selinus as soon as possible."

After Daves finished speaking, he looked at Karsidis again: "Carsidis, you will still command the original 4000 soldiers and have the right to attend every military meeting in the city of Silinus, because you Familiar with the situation of the city of Silinus and the enemies outside the city can provide good advice to Amintas."

Karsidis felt heartened when he heard this. His original position was appointed by Commander Leotizides. Now that King Daves continues to let him command these 4000 people, it is a real deal. This appointment. Moreover, wartime military meetings like this are generally only allowed to participate in positions above the commander of the corps, and ordinary team officers are allowed to participate in special circumstances, and Daves allows him to participate in the military meetings of Silinus normally in the future, which means He has the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with the legionary commander.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He said with a trembling voice.

"Alexis has to command Minoan's army for me, I can't do without you!" Daves said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Your Majesty, I am very happy to help you!" Alexis said lightly.

…………………………………………

After successfully building the outer wall of the camp, Margo ordered the soldiers to hurry up and build the inner wall. Seeing that most of the trenches have been dug, the soil barriers are gradually being built and compacted, but the situation has changed. The originally peaceful city of Silinus suddenly rushed out hundreds of cavalry from the north gate, east gate, and west gate, and raided the Carthage soldiers who were building the inner wall of the camp.

The unsuspecting Carthage soldiers disintegrated immediately, and when the heavily armed Carthage reinforcements arrived, these Dionian cavalry returned to the city in time.

Several consecutive assaults made Margo realize that the Dionians had already increased their troops on the city of Silinus, and began to intensify their attacks on the outside of the city. It was obvious that the Carthage army could not be there as before. Attack the city of Silinus, build facilities without getting the attention of the defenders, and advance to the front of the city.

Although he wants to attract the main force of Dionia by attacking the city of Silinus, and fight again with it, he hopes to lose his defensive advantage in the city of Silinus after completing all the arrangements. Under the circumstances, he ordered the troops to step up the construction of the inner wall of the camp, and at the same time placed a fully armed army behind the soldiers who built the inner wall for defense.

At the same time, he also mobilized thousands of cavalrymen, patrolling the outside of the inner wall of the camp, keeping an eye on the movement of several gates in the city of Serinus.

Who knows, the city-head ballista and abdominal bow were fired together, focusing on the place where the Carthage cavalry and infantry gathered 100 meters away, causing some casualties, forcing Margo to hurriedly retreat the defense forces.

Of course, he did not interrupt the construction of the inner wall. Instead, he sent more soldiers to step up the construction. At the same time, he also drew the ballista to attack the city of Silinus under the cover of the earth barrier.

………………………………………

Marco was racking his brains to deal with the raid in the city, and received Palermos messenger's request for help: A Dionian army of tens of thousands of people landed on the beach near Palermos!

Marco was taken aback: Dionian’s army was either on the south coast or in the mountainous area of ​​the central part. Why did an army of tens of thousands appear again? Could it be that the Dionians were conscripted from Great Greece?

Margo never thought that it might be the Dionian army attacking Syracuse, mainly because he had seen the city of Syracuse with his own eyes. He did not think that the Dionian army could be in such a short time. Conquered Syracuse within.

Although he is a little worried about Dionian’s military potential, Margo has no time to think about the origin of this Dionian army. He realizes that due to the calm of the North Coast during this time, he has begun to ignore this. The Phoenician city-state, which is a little far away from the core area of ​​western Sicily, instead took some citizens of Palermos to come to Silinus to build the city wall. Now Palermos is under attack. If it falls, it will This means that the coastline available to the Carthaginian army will be further shortened, which is more conducive to the blockade of the Dionian fleet.

He secretly scolded his negligence, and immediately sent a messenger to the north on horseback to inform Hasdruba who was stationed near Segesta, so that he would immediately lead his army to rescue Palermo. S.

After getting the order, Hasdruba quickly led 30,000 soldiers and rushed to Palermos.

But where did he know that after Leotizides led the Seventh and Eighth Army quickly landed on the coast, neither directly attacked Palermos nor started building camps, except that a small number of soldiers were left to monitor Paler. In addition to the movement of Moss City and Solus City to the east, the large army quickly rushed to the mountain pass to the south and the entrance of the coastal path to the west with the pre-prepared building materials. All the soldiers seized the time to dig trenches and traps. , Arrange the deer village, build soil fortresses, drive in wooden piles, build wooden towers...

Has Drupa did not choose to take the coastal trail because it was not conducive to the passage of the army, and the Dionian fleet controlled the coastline. When his army platooned dragons rushing forward on the coast, they could not look at each other. It was easy to be attacked by the landing of the Dionian fleet, so he led the army down the mountain road.
