On this day, the Dionian army that landed on Palermos territory was busy building camps and carrying the luggage from cargo ships, except for the defense of the southern mountain roads and coastal trails, until the evening.

The night is all right.

On the second day, Leotizides did not rush to attack Palermos, but continued to let these more than 10,000 soldiers build camps. However, the third fleet that guarded the fleet on the nearby sea did not reappear yesterday, and the lively camp did not return to calm until the evening.

However, it was not peaceful in the mountains south of the Dionian army camp. The Carthaginian army was blocked in the mountain road leading to Palermos territory. The assault might not be successful, but would cause heavy casualties, but ha Struba did not give up. He knew that once the Dionians occupied Palermos, it would further reduce the space for the Carthaginian army, not to mention that he was not a person who easily bowed his head in the face of difficulties. But time is very tight now. He is worried that the Palermos who lack soldiers will not even be able to defend for a few days. Therefore, he repeats his old trick and dispatched 4000 Lusitania tribal fighters to cross the mountains. Go to support Palermos and repel the Dionian army.

The Iberian army led by Hasdruba used to be stationed in Palermos for a few months. They were familiar with the terrain. They walked eastward at the southern entrance of the trail and climbed over several tall mountains. The rivers on the surrounding mountains and ridges converged into a small lake. The water of the lake flows towards the low-lying land to the east and gradually forms a small river. After flowing east for ten miles, the small river turns to the north and flows in a zigzag manner. The sea, and the place it flows through forms a narrow valley. Although it is difficult to walk, it is possible to enter Palermos territory through it.

The Lusitania warriors trek in the valleys of mountains and valleys throughout the day. It was not until dusk that they saw the small river flowing out of the mountains and flowing into the flat land of Palermos, which was located to the east of Palermos. Palermos has more than 10 miles of road. The Lusitania fighters stopped advancing. They hid in the densely wooded mountain forest. After eating the rations they carried, they lay down on the grass to rest in order to recover their physical strength during the day.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers who were still asleep reluctantly got up under the urging of the leaders, and walked out of the mountain in a daze.

As they marched eastward, they gradually recovered their sobriety, especially when they saw the vague outline of the Dionian camp in the distance under the moonlight, many fighters began to get excited.

This time they came to Sicily to fight, they first followed Hasdruba to capture Seadium, and then they slaughtered Agrigento, Econom and Gela successively, looting a lot of trophies. Enjoyed the Greek women and killed a lot of Greek men... But they did not have many casualties. The main reason is that Hasdruba never let them participate in difficult siege battles, like attacking Enna and attacking Paragoni. Ya, they all stood by and watched, and they had only once in a frontal battle, and they were still facing the soldiers of the Greek city-state on the south coast, and they didn't feel much pressure.

Although Hasdruba once said, "The Dionian army is a strong enemy!" But they did not take it too seriously. On the contrary, they longed to defeat the Dionian army and cut off the Dionian soldiers. Head, to prove their strength, and now is an opportunity.

Carthages, Greeks...These so-called civilized people fear the night, and they are not. On the contrary, they like to use the night to cover their tracks, quietly approach the enemy, and launch a lethal attack. In Iberia, they dealt with the Carthaginians in this way, and finally forced the Carthaginians to sign a peace agreement, and now they want to apply this tried and tested method of attack to the poor Dionians, thinking about the imminent You can taste the blood of the Dionians, and the Lusitania warriors clenched their daggers and quickened their pace.

But during the march, almost no one made a sound except for the sound of footsteps, and 4,000 people approached the Dionia camp silently like this.

The huge Dionian camp is also very quiet. A burning torch is erected at every other section of the wooden fence to illuminate the surroundings, but there are no sentry patrols. There are several high guards behind the wooden fence. The sentinels could be seen upstairs, but they were all in a deep sleep.

The Dionians think that they have blocked the mountain roads, they can safely attack Palermos city, no enemies will threaten them, they can safely attack Palermos city, the security of the camp will be So slack! ... After discovering that the current situation was beneficial to them, the Lusitania leaders were very happy. They led the soldiers to no longer hide, and approached the camp in a loose formation.

Due to time constraints, the Dionians had not yet set up traps around the camp, so the Lusitania easily came to the trench at the east gate of the camp, and then some fighters carefully crawled through the trench and came to Mu Under the fence.

Some of them pile up people and climb up; others take out a lasso, throw it on the wooden wall, accurately hook the top wooden stake, and then climb up with the rope...in a while , A dozen soldiers climbed over the wooden fence and quickly opened the camp gate.

The Lusitania fighters waiting outside the camp rushed into the camp eagerly. They screamed and killed a tent, but the soldiers who rushed into the tent found that there was no one inside.

When I was feeling suspicious, a high-pitched bugle suddenly sounded in the camp, and a black surging in front, countless Dionian soldiers armed with long shields and stabbing guns, appeared in the passage between the tents, and they lined up densely. The queue formed a shield wall, forcing towards the Lusitania fighters.

The first reaction of the Lusitanias was not to go forward to meet the battle, but to realize that they were fooled. "Sneak attack failed, retreat immediately, and come back next time" is their traditional tactic, so Lusitania The leaders immediately shouted: "Withdraw the team! Let's withdraw quickly!..."

The soldiers turned around, trying to run outside the camp.

But the previous bugle sound not only allowed the Dionian soldiers to block sneak attacks in the camp, but also informed the troops that had been ambushing outside the camp to take action, so when the Lusitania soldiers rushed out, They found that countless black helmets and black armored Dionian soldiers also appeared outside the camp, completely blocking their way back. At the same time, soldiers rushed in from the passage inside the wooden fence, cutting off their final outward passage.

"Master Commander, we have completely surrounded the enemy!" Tagru said excitedly, standing on a guard in the camp, observing the situation in the camp.

Although Leottizides did not speak, there was a somewhat relaxed expression on his face. He and Zanteparis had long known the situation that the Carthaginians might send mountain races to support. As expected, he dispatched all the mountain reconnaissance squad soldiers in the two legions to closely observe the anomalies in the surrounding mountains.

Specially-trained investigators were evenly scattered in the mountains to the south. As a result, at noon, someone spotted the Lusitania army trekking in the mountains. They did not start the grass and startled the snake, but sent people to continue to follow and monitor. , While sending someone back to the camp, he informed Leodichides, so the Lusitania thought they were acting secretively, but they didn't know that their movements were completely under the control of Leotizides, and they had already made one. Net, just waiting for their ignorant moth to hit it.

Seeing that the retreat was hopeless, the Lusitania decided to use force to cut a **** path. They held a wooden shield and tried their best to hit and block their Dionian shield wall, and then the Fakara dagger pierced viciously. To the Dionian soldiers who exposed the defensive gap.

The soldiers of the Dionian Legion tried their best to maintain a dense formation, using stabbing guns to force the enemy to dare not get close. At the same time, with the strong support of the rear teammates, they used the long shield with strong defensive power to press the enemy inward.

The ones who really played the role of killing the enemy were the light infantry behind the Dionia's heavy infantry. They threw rounds of arrows and javelins at the enemies in the encirclement.

Most Lusitania fighters have no other protection except helmets and wooden shields, so Dionia's long-range attacks have caused them a lot of damage.

But the warriors who kept falling down with arrows aroused the courage of their companions. They were like wounded beasts, violently attacking the shield wall composed of Dionian soldiers, using wooden shields, short swords, and Fists, teeth...Use all available methods to kill the enemies who are blocking their way.

Therefore, although Dionia surrounded the Lusitania with nearly four times the superior force, the fighting continued.

The Palermos were awakened by the movement outside the city. Anxiously, they went up to the top of the city to watch, and they saw the lights in the Dionia camp brightly lit and the sound of killings shook the sky.

They were both excited for the arrival of reinforcements, and at the same time worried about their safety. Almost all of them were at the top of the city and prayed to the **** Melakat, but they never thought of sending troops out of the city to support them.

Of course, even if they have the courage to send troops out of the city, the 1,500 light armoured soldiers reserved by Leotizides will be useful.

The prayers of the Palermos did not work. At dawn, the sound of fighting from the Dionian camp gradually disappeared. 4000 Lusitania fighters were killed or wounded. , But no one surrendered. Dead bodies were lying around the east gate of the camp. The Dionian army also suffered nearly 600 casualties.

In the early morning of the second day, Hasdruba, with anticipation, led the army to Muzhai at the exit of the mountain road. Instead of opening the door to greet him, he saw hundreds of Lusitania fighters. The heads of the people became a hill, and Hasdruba and his men were all horrified.
