Kinomus also changed his strategy and stopped complaining. Instead, he said: "Leader Tinum, now the Carthage’s Liliba is occupied, and the Carthage’s military transportation route to Sicily has been cut off. Before long, the soldiers in the entire camp will face the threat of starvation. What are your thoughts on this?"

Tinum blinked his eyes, showing a look that didn’t care too much, and said, “Lili is occupied, and the Carthaginians can also transport food to Mazara, and they will also capture Serinnu. You don’t need to worry too much about regaining profits and profits."

"Tinum Chief." Kenomus said with a sneer: "Can the Carthaginians regain Serinus and Lilibo?! You overestimate the Carthaginians' ability, just to capture one In the small town of Palagonia, how long the Carthaginians spent and how many people died in battle! You have been in Sicily for such a long time, you should be very clear that the Dionians are strong in defense of the city, and they still hold this. I think that Carthage dared to deliver food to Mazara! Don’t you know that the Dionian navy is stronger?! Not only did they completely defeat the Carthage navy, they also heard that they also occupied the Carthaginian navy. The ruling islands of Corsica and Sardinia even landed in Africa and burned several allied states of Carthage--"

"Where did you hear these things?!" Tinum's face changed drastically, and he asked sharply.

Margo controls the army strictly. All the battle reports are not allowed to be spread except for him and Pomilka and other high-ranking generals. In addition, the entire army is restricted to Sicily and it is difficult to receive. To the outside world, alien cavalry units like Tinum are even less likely to have their own sources of information, and they are very unfamiliar with the development of the entire war.

Kinomus took a breath, his expression turned mysterious, and he whispered: "I participated in this war, but I did not fight with Margo, but with Monte Arderno before. You may I heard that he led the army to attack Minoa and suffered a disastrous defeat. At that time, I was captured by the Dionians..."

Tinum's eyes rounded: "You surrendered to the Dionians?!"

Kinomus made a silent gesture and whispered: "No, the king of Dionia does not want us to surrender, but to be our Numibian ally! He wants to help us get rid of Cartha The oppression of the Ji people restores our independence and retakes our land..."

The more Jinoms spoke, the more excited he got, but Tinum suddenly interrupted him and said coldly: "What do you say has anything to do with me?"

"Of course it matters!" Kenomus said in a deep voice, "Do you know that the Carthaginians have sent envoys to the Dionia barracks to ask for peace, and they can't hold it anymore! But Dioni The Yaren will never agree easily. They have completely blocked the sea route in western Sicily. Without the support of Carthage, Margo's army is so huge, how many days can he consume the food he has? Just surrender! You and your people will become captives, and perhaps will become slaves to the Dionians!"

Kenoms sighed softly and said emotionally: "It is because I have a good relationship with you in the past, so after getting into the defeat this time, I did not persuade my fellow Easterners first, but came first. Here, I hope you can see the situation clearly and make choices that are beneficial to your tribe!"

Kinoms’s words are actually lies. He chose to come to Tinum because the East Numibians helped Carthage fight. They were basically infantrymen, drawn from various tribes. For a certain number of people, their team officers can only be Phoenicians or Carthaginians, and after the successful night attack by the Selinnus garrison, Margo dispatched the Iberian army. Excellent soldiers loyal to him serve as team officers, so there is a great risk to instigate East Numibian soldiers to rebel against the Carthage army on a large scale, and the success rate will not be too high.

Since the land of Sinumibia is not controlled by the Carthaginians, they and the Carthaginians are more like a dependency relationship between a large tribe and a small tribe. Carthage hired them to fight, basically As a cavalry, no outsiders were sent to serve as team officers. The tribal leaders commanded their own people. They only need to obey the commander’s orders when fighting. The supervision of them is very lax, which gives Kenomus to be mixed in. Persuading them to rebel created the conditions.

Tinum was lost in thought. Although he was not sure whether the bad situation described by Kenomus was true, he was not a fool either. During this period of time, he had more or less noticed some signs: Li Li was being distracted. It was a fact that the Dionians had captured it. He saw it with his own eyes; Palermos fell. Although he did not see it, the Numibian cavalry who followed Hasdruba had communicated with him and told him that there was 4000 powerful Iberian natives were wiped out; if the Carthaginian navy were not at a disadvantage, how could the Dionians land on the western coast at will, so that Margo sent them to patrol the coast every day, and these few God, during the patrol, he did not see any food transport team from Mazara to the Carthage camp... Could it be that the situation really got to such a bad point? !

Tinum was thinking about it, and his heart was sinking continuously.

There was silence in the camp, and the faint light of the oil lamp swayed on his face gradually shrouded in haze.

For a long time, he looked at Tinum and asked hesitantly: "What benefits can the Dionians...can give me?"

Kinomus was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Carthage can give you the Sinumibian tribe, and the Dionians can also give it, and it will only be better, such as the Dionians. I will sell you high-quality ironware and armor that Carthage forbids to sell... And as long as you can successfully lead most of the Numibian cavalry to Dionian, King Dionian promised, "In the future, Marsili When the tribe conflicts with other Sinumibian tribes, Dionia will be on your side!'"

When Tinum heard this, his heart was shocked: The Masili tribe is a big tribe, stronger than most Sinumibian tribes, and several leaders have always had a dream to compare the loose Sinumi The sub-tribes united and became a Sinumibian alliance led by the Masili tribe. They think so and do so. But obviously the Carthaginians would not allow their wishes to come true. Not only did they support his opponents, but they also suppressed the Masili tribe many times, causing its strength to be weakened repeatedly, and they also lost several pastures. Taiji has been dissatisfied for a long time.

This is also the reason why Genomes chose to persuade the Masili tribe in the first place.

Tinum tried his best to remain calm despite his heartbeat: "Kinomus, these promises made by Dionia sound great, but they are difficult to achieve because Dionia’s The center is on the big island to the north (referring to Italy), but the land of Africa where we live is the Carthaginians."

"Tinum, you don’t know how great the King Dionian is. It only took him more than ten years to make the newly established Kingdom of Dionian become so scared by the Carthaginians. He has promised me that when Margot’s army is eliminated, he will let the Dionian army land in Africa and help us East Numibians. By then, whether Carthage can exist or not will be a success. Question, I still want to take care of our Numibian affairs, I am afraid it is just a dream!"

Tinum is a bit disapproving. Of course he will not have great expectations for Dionia like Kenomus. After all, Carthage’s hegemony in Africa has lasted for a hundred years, even if he suffered in this war. After failure, he didn’t think it would change so quickly, but the promise given by the Dionians really moved him. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided not to agree for the time being, but he did not refuse Kenomus’ request. It is to carefully observe the development of the situation and then make a decision.

For this, he also kept Kenomu Siqiang in his army to avoid contact with others.

……………………………………

On the second day, the Carthaginian army once again attacked the city of Silinus.

This time, Amintas did not place too many soldiers on the city, but used the city wall to resist for a period of time. After repelling an attack by the Carthaginians, it was short before the next wave of attacks arrived. In the gap time, decisively issued the order to retreat.

The Carthage army occupied the city wall more smoothly, its morale was boosted, and then blindly attacked the city in an attempt to take the whole city in one go.

Soon, they suffered from the various traps that Dionian soldiers laid in the city, and they were finally blocked in front of a wide trench, and behind the trench was another towering city wall.

Suddenly countless Dionian soldiers emerged from the seemingly empty city head, launching a fierce attack on the enemy below the city.

The Carthage soldiers were in chaos in the process of advancing into the city. They lacked the command of generals. The hedgehogs gathered in the trenches and did not carry any siege equipment. Suddenly they were attacked fiercely by arrow rain and javelin rain. .

Amintas decisively ordered a counterattack, and the heavy soldiers of the Legion who had been in ambush for a long time came out from the reserved passages.

The Carthage army under the city was devastated, vying to flee backwards.

After the Dionian soldiers chased for a while, at the reminder of the team officers, they immediately withdrew from the second wall, allowing the Carthage's successor troops who came later to make a profit.

Margo in the rear heard that there was a wall behind the wall, and immediately remembered what happened to Paragonia in his mind. He hurriedly ordered all the troops in the city to retreat immediately and sent spies into the block between the two walls. , Carefully investigate whether there is a large amount of burning material buried.
