"Hurry up and send someone to check it out!" Imisere's heart was even more disturbed. He commanded loudly: "Send another 300 light infantry, and I will immediately rush to the opposite city."

"Yes, my lord!"

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

While Terentus rushed to the lighthouse with ten mountain scouts, the other team rushed to the small barracks not far from the temple, and just ran into the Carthage team officer who was out of the camp to check the situation.

Since the establishment of Liliba for more than 10 years, the night alarm has never sounded. The Carthage team officer who was awakened even thought it was the tower guard’s hand error, so he was stabbed unsuspectingly. arrive.

As more and more mountain scouts rushed into the barracks, some of the Carthage soldiers were wearing armor, some had just gotten up, and some were even asleep... so this became a Massacre.

After the team members easily solved the Carthage soldiers, they immediately rushed to the lighthouse.

The mountain reconnaissance team left in Katane by Daves originally had 500 people. During the attack on Syracuse, more than 100 people were injured or killed, so 360 people participated in this operation. 160 of them are disrupting the port area, while the remaining 200 are all climbing up the embankment, and eventually they will all enter the lighthouse.

Terrentus saw more and more comrades gathered around him in the tower, and he couldn't help being proud: he led the mountain reconnaissance team through the Tyber River and dived into the sewers, which was important for the final capture of the city of Rome. During the sneak attack on Keslera, the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade was the vanguard, and he took the lead in capturing the fort; in the siege of Syracuse, he led the team to capture the fortress of Yuliarus first. , Opened the door to victory for the capture of the entire city; now occupying the port lighthouse and opening the water gate has already completed the task, but he is somewhat dissatisfied.

"Brothers, follow me to grab the checkpoint on the wall in front of you and win even greater feats!" Terentus raised his arms and the players responded in unison.

He left 10 team members to guard the lighthouse, and took more than 100 team members through the lighthouse and into the walkway of the city wall.

A group of people rushed forward along the walkway, and just hit the oncoming Carthage light infantry on the way.

In the dark night, these Carthage soldiers heard the messy footsteps coming from the front, thinking that the soldiers in the small barracks had already gone to the city, and they were unprepared until they collided with each other. enemy.

And these Carthage light infantry had no other weapons except bows, arrows, javelins, and daggers. How could they be the opponents of mountain scouts armed with leather shields and short swords, and they were quickly defeated.

On the way back, they shouted in horror: "The enemy has killed the city!! The Dionians have come in!!..."

As these collapsed soldiers approached the gate of the tower, their shouts cleared into Imisele’s ears, and he was a little panicked, because it meant that the Dionians had occupied the natural breakwater. ,Occupying the lighthouse, they can control the watergate, and then let Dionian's warship enter the port! Let the Dionian army land in the port!

Imisely didn’t have time to think about how the Dionians occupied the lighthouse at the moment. What he thought was that the Dionian fleet and army would probably come soon. He didn’t have much combat experience. It is inevitable to panic, and there is only one thought in my heart: Do not let the Dionians come into the city!

So he shouted very nervously: "Hurry up and close the gate of the tower, and don't let the Dionians come in! The gate of the port is not allowed to be opened without my order! Hurry up and close..."

When the Carthaginians built the port of Liliba, they considered them more thoughtfully. The place where this natural breakwater connects to the land was blocked with a wall. Only the city wall passed through, and a tower was built on each side of the city wall. Therefore, if you want to enter the natural breakwater, you can only enter through the walkway on the city. Moreover, these two towers are the tallest of all the towers of Lilibo. It is four meters higher than the city wall. Moreover, the Carthaginians built a gate here with the walkway as the base and the towers on both sides as the door frame, not only to control the entry and exit of the natural breakwater, but also as a precaution.

In fact, Carthage soldiers had already stationed in these two towers at this time. After hearing the sound of fighting and then screaming on the opposite wall, the cautious team officer hurriedly ordered the soldiers We will temporarily close the tower door and wait until the situation is clear.

Imisely heard that the gate of the tower had been closed, and felt a little more calm. He quickly issued an order: "Go and inform General Sarkardos in the Southeast Army Camp, and let him transfer 2,000 soldiers to come here!"

"Send someone to urge Ragnaka, so he can quickly lead his troops!"

After giving these orders, he still felt uneasy. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice to his most trusted man: "You immediately rush to see Master Margot, saying that Liliba Port has suffered The landing attack of the Dionians, I hope he will send troops to rescue immediately!"

The Carthaginians closed the gate of the tower, letting the soldiers desperately call the door not, instead lit a number of torches on the tower, and let the light infantry occupy the tower, and chased Dai who was chasing Carthage's defeated soldiers on the walkway of the front wall. The Oniyas conduct long-range attacks.

This time, the mountain investigators did not even wear leather helmets or leather armor for hiding on the cargo ship and for climbing. Except for a leather shield, there was no extra protection on their bodies, and they gathered on the narrow aisle. , Became the best target for long-range attacks. After a few rounds of bows and arrows, the mountain scouts rushing in front suffered many casualties, and even Terentus was shot in the left arm.

The pain dispelled Terentus' zealous warfare, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat and guard the lighthouse.

The Dionians retreated, but the Carthaginians did not dare to open the gate of the tower, for fear of accidents, until the heavy infantry under the city arrived, Imisele ordered and opened the gate of the tower.

The city wall on the natural breakwater is more than 5 meters high. Only through the lighthouse can you get down to the embankment. If Carthaginian soldiers want to recapture the lighthouse, they can only go through the walkway of the city wall. Although there is no door at the connection port, the lighthouse is more than twice as high as the city wall. Therefore, Terentus asked some of the team members to block the entrance and exit of the city wall. In front of the stone window, attack the attacking Carthage infantry below, thereby reducing the impact of the Carthage's heavy infantry on the entrance of the lighthouse.

Terrentus now regrets: The Carthages of Lilibo are not like Kesrera and Syracuse. They react quickly to night assaults. He shouldn’t be anxious if he knew this. If you want to capture the gate of the tower, you should seize the time to use door panels or other things to block the entrance to the city wall and the lighthouse first.

Now the two sides have formed a top bull situation, which is very detrimental to the mountain reconnaissance team. In the space where there is almost no evasion, the heavy infantry and the light armor are fighting head-on. Naturally, the casualties of the mountain reconnaissance team are high, but even if the casualties continue to increase, the mountain reconnaissance The brigade could not retreat even one step, otherwise the Carthaginians would rush into the lighthouse, and the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, at the entrance of the lighthouse and the city wall, the mountain reconnaissance brigade could only fall down, and then one on top, it would be hard to support.

Imisele was also very anxious, because the soldiers who rushed to the artificial breakwater tower quickly sent people back to report: There are many warships approaching the port!

The main force of the Dionians is coming! Imisere was extremely anxious in his heart. He knew very well: once these warships were allowed to enter the port, it would pose a great threat to Lilifa.

So he gave a death order to Ragnaka, who had already rushed to the city: the lighthouse must be retaken as soon as possible, and the water gate must be closed!

Despite the loud shouts and chaos in the port area, both sides actually focused on the fight for the lighthouse.

Ragnaka received the order, but did not immediately put the 5000 soldiers he led into the attack on the lighthouse, because the Carthage soldiers who had gone before had lined up on the walkway of the natural breakwater wall Long line, no matter how much the soldiers in the back put in, they can’t threaten the enemy in the lighthouse, so he quickly ordered his men to go down to find the rope so that they can hang down from the city wall so that the soldiers can go down to the embankment, or from below. Attacking the lighthouse can prevent the Dionians from continuing to land on the embankment.

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

Since the Sicilian Fleet cruises the western waters every day, every warship is familiar with the sea conditions near Lilibo. Under the guidance of the lighthouse, their speed has risen to the highest speed. Slowing down, one after another next to the side of the lighthouse, they entered one by one.

At this time, the Carthage archers in the tower connected to the water gate on the opposite side continuously fired rockets at the Dionian warship that entered the water gate, and the stars of light shone onto the sea under the night, which was really beautiful.

But the personnel on the Dionia battleship were nervous. The soldiers on the deck erected long shields to block the rockets, and at the same time cleared them into the sea to prevent the battleship from being ignited, and the sailors in the cabin Then speed up the paddling again, so that the warship can escape the range of the bow and arrow.

Originally, according to the plan, the first warship entering the port had to go as far as possible, attach the warships to the beginning of the natural breakwater, and then arrange them backwards so that the legionaries can land on the bank together and lead the squadrons. Stefakas’s ship served as a pilot.

But when he saw the Carthaginians on the wall fighting fiercely in front of the lighthouse, the watcher reminded him: Seeing the Carthaginians on the wall in front of him were hanging ropes.

He immediately realized the urgency of time. When the ship was approaching the embankment and turned the suspension bridge at the bow of the ship, the 12-meter wooden bridge was easily built on the embankment, just like the third fleet passed through a few months ago. Just as the Tiber River attacked the west bank of the city of Rome, 50 soldiers of the Second Legion on the battleship quickly climbed over the suspension bridge, rushed to the embankment, and intercepted the Carthage soldiers who were coming down from the wall.
