Later, Margot's heart hangs again: the cavalry is his greatest support for believing that he can defeat the main Dionian army in the battle, and now the Numibian cavalry, who has the majority in the entire cavalry army, has rebelled. This can't help but make him feel anxious!

"Are the Mauritanian and Lusitania cavalry also participating in the rebellion?!" Margot first thought of this question.

"Their camps were kept quiet. They did not participate in the rebellion, but they did not help us to quell the rebellion."

"These **** barbarians!" Margo murmured secretly. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that temporarily hired troops like the Mauritania and Lusitania cavalry could not be very loyal to Carthage, but they did. This kind of onlooker attitude made him feel the urgency of the situation, and he immediately said: "Immediately tell Stikamo, let him lead the army to quell the rebellion of the Numibian cavalry, and prevent them from escaping the camp as much as possible! In addition, he must set up a troop to guard our heavy-duty camp! And... please rest assured that the reinforcements led by Kisgor will soon return to the camp!"

Marco watched Chen Qi Juechen away with anxiety. After a while, he saw Kisgor’s army filed out from the city gate. Just after he breathed, he saw cavalry rushing down the city: "Report to Lord Margot, the Dionian army is found to the east. , Is approaching the camp!"

East of the camp? ! The Dionian army entrenched in Minoa finally came out? ! ...This has always been Margo's expectation, but now it makes him feel nervous. Obviously, the Dionians want to take advantage of the chaos in the Carthage camp to attack.

"How many people are they here?" Marge asked urgently.

"We didn't get the scout's return in advance. It was discovered by the sentry at the head of the camp, and could not make an accurate judgment, but it seems that there are a large number of people."

The scouts that the Carthage army went out to investigate were basically Numibian cavalry. Now they are in rebellion, I am afraid they have colluded with the Dionians long ago, and waited until the sentry in the camp discovered Dionia. The traces of the army indicate that the enemy is very close to the camp, so the situation is a bit critical... Margo thought of this and said eagerly: "You immediately find Kisgor and let him lead reinforcements to defend the camp against the Dionians. Offense."

Next, he said to the adjutant: "Send someone to rush to notify Hasdruba so that he can quickly lead the army back to the camp!"

After giving the order, where is Marge still at the head of the city, he and Pomirka led a group of people hurriedly down the city and rushed to the camp. As the commander of the army, he must sit in the camp and be stable. The military will thwart the enemy's conspiracy.

When he was about to enter the camp, Margo suddenly stopped his horse, looked at the high earth wall in front of him, and looked at the entourage surrounding him, all of them looked anxious, including Pomirka, he She smiled and said confidently: "Don’t panic, the Dionians’ conspiracy will not succeed! We have purged the Numibians a few days ago, and there are also the experienced Iberians. Officials, so there is no possibility of chaos in the Numibia camp.

As for the Numibian cavalry, they cannot play a role in the narrow camp, Stikamo will easily defeat them! I am very happy to see the Dionian army, which has been hiding like a mouse on the Minoan Mountains, here. In this way, we can not only block their attack with the built city wall, but also wait until all the troops are gathered. You can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, defeat them, and reverse the situation on the entire battlefield! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a great opportunity. You will have the opportunity to be the heroes who will save Carthage! "

Margot's words are like a ray of sunshine driving away the haze in the hearts of the surrounding entourages, and all of them start to light up, and eagerly look forward to the next battle...

……………………………………

To the east of the city of Silinus, the Dionian army lined up in a long dragon, slowly advancing along the road along the coast. In the center of the team, under the two golden kingdom flags, is the King of Dionian Daves. He rode on a horse, chatting and laughing with Hernipolis beside him as if he were on an outing. Not to participate in a battle.

Behind him, Tolmid could not help reminding: "Your Majesty, we are about to enter the territory of Silinus, shall we not approach Carthage’s camp yet? We attack, and we can also retreat easily."

"Didn't the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade have figured out the enemy's situation! Today Margot has sent the main force to attack the inner city of Serinus, and there are not many remaining troops in the Carthage camp, not to mention—" Daves pointed The bunches of black smoke rising in the sky in front said in a serious tone: “The Numibians have already started the action according to the agreement. Of course, we have to follow the agreement to be able to attract the attention of the Carthaginians and let Margo Wrong judgment."

"Yes, your Majesty has always kept his promises!" Hernipolis interjected.

Tolmeide glanced at Hernipolis and thought: You said it lightly, but although the army led by His Majesty seems to have a large number of people, in fact there are only 6,000 Roman Reserve Brigade (they Temporarily wearing the black helmets and black armors of the wounded and dead soldiers of the Dionian regiments), a small number of reinforcements from Potentia and Samona, as well as the first, second, fourth, and three cavalry regiments. There are no more than 10,000 people, but the "soldiers" behind the team are the heavy battalion labor of the various legions and the sailors of the transport ships. They are not capable of fighting at all. Once the Carthaginian army really goes out to fight back, he can't help but be your majesty. The comfort is worried.

At this moment, Daves turned around, smiled and said, "Don’t worry too much, we can see the black smoke in the Carthage camp, Alexis, Amintas, Matonis , Proseus, they must have seen it too. I am afraid that they have already started the action according to the plan. Can the Carthaginians still divide their forces to attack us? I doubt it."

……………………………………………

There is a thick wall between the city of Silinus and the largest port. Dionian soldiers and fleet sailors used this time to heighten and thicken the original inner wall. Built, after Margot’s Iberian army broke through the inner city wall of Serinus with all its strength, it became the last line of defense for the Dionian garrison to protect the port.

Has Druba felt sorry. He felt that without this wall as a hindrance, his army would surely pursue the victory, defeat the remnants of Dionia, and completely defeat the entire city of Selinus and the port. .

But if he could pass through the city wall and enter the port area behind, he would be surprised to find that the Dionian remnant defeat that he was trying to do was an illusion. At this time, the entire port area was densely packed. Occupied by soldiers of the Diorian Legion, there are black surgings everywhere, and the blue water of the port is clearly distinguished. Among them, it is not only the First and Second Corps, which have suffered a lot of battles and losses, but also the Third and Lucania Reserve Corps, which have been staying in the mountains of eastern Sicily before, and have been stuck in Minoa. The Fourth Army, Sixth Army, and Tenth Army, all of them were quietly transported to the port of Serinus in the dark of the first two days through the Sicilian fleet and the Katane transport fleet.

At this moment, a huge army of more than 50,000 people gathered together, of course, not just to defend the port of Silinus, the heavily armed soldiers are eagerly waiting for the command of the legionnaire.

At this moment, many senior generals of the kingdom well-known to the people of Dionian are standing on this wall, Alexis, Amintas, Epithenes, Matonis, Lizaru, Olivers, Trotiras, and Melisanda, the battle-tested kingdom commanders and legion commanders all staring ahead, while turning a blind eye to the Carthaginian soldiers swarming under the city, deafening their fight. The sound cannot affect their concentration at all.

Suddenly, Melisanda shouted excitedly: "It's on fire! Carthage camp is on fire!"

Amintas immediately followed the direction of his fingers and looked with wide eyes, but he didn't seem to notice anything. He just lowered his face and prepared to reprimand Melishanda for lying about the military. The words had not yet been spoken, and he went northwest. There was a curl of black smoke, one, two, three...

"Young people have good eyesight!" Alexis smiled gently.

"Boy, I think you are more suitable to be the watchman of the warship." Amintas gave Melishanda a punch with a slight embarrassment.

Excitement filled the faces of every legion commander, and Olivers said loudly: "Everyone, Hattis, the Numibian cavalry has already acted according to the plan, should we start to act as well? !"

"I see—" Amintas hadn't finished speaking, Alexis quickly said: "Wait a little longer, wait for the Carthage soldiers under the city to retreat, so that it will benefit our soldiers. Launch an offense."

Amintas gave a dry cough. Although there is no single commander in the offensive plan implemented on this side of the port, Alexis's statement is indeed reasonable. The generals agreed and decided to temporarily suppress it. Excited mood, waiting for the change of the battle situation.

In fact, they didn't let them wait long, and the Carthage army under the city began to retreat.

"You can start the offense!" Amintas' words received enthusiastic responses from everyone.

In order to implement this offensive plan, the defenders of Silinus have specially opened two more entrances and exits on the wall in the past few days: the left route is in charge of Matonis, commanding the Second Army and the First Army. Sixth Army; the middle route Alexis served as command, under the command of the Third Army, the Fourth Army, and the Tenth Army; the right route was in charge of Amintas, commanding the First Army and the Lucalia Reserve Army. The mid lane has the most troops and the most complete army establishment, because it will serve as the main force of the offensive, and at the same time, it must always support the friendly forces on both sides.
