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

At this time, Margot's mind was already filled with the idea of ​​"Going out of the camp and defeating King Dionia". He didn't care about the news of the "Selinus garrison attack", but sent an order. Soldier, let him inform Hasdruba to repel the defenders of Serinus as soon as possible, and then rushed to fight with him.

At the same time, he sent a messenger to inform Stikamo and Kisgo to prepare.

The camp was restored to stability, and the Dionia defenders were not afraid, on the contrary, they were more conducive to the capture of the port, and they were all preparing to go out of the camp...Everything was turning in the direction of Carthage.

Margo stood on the city wall, holding the stone bricks in his hands, staring at the two dazzling flags of the Dionian army outside the camp, like a tiger lurking in the grass and about to prey.

However, the anxious shout broke his illusion: "Master Margo! Master Margo! Not good! The number of Dionian troops attacking from the port is very large, and the offensive is fierce. Our troops in the city have already begun. Retreat!"

"What?!" Margot, Pomilka and the surrounding entourage were shocked.

"What the **** is Hasdruba doing!" Margo roared irritably.

"Master Margot...it's no wonder that there may be less than 20,000 enemies of King Dionia outside the camp. They may have hidden the main force in the port of Serinus!" Pomirka at this time It suddenly dawned on me.

Of course Margo understood: Since Dionia and the Numibians are in collusion, taking advantage of the Numibian rebellion and the turmoil in the camp, the Dionia army wants to take advantage of the fire and looting, and it is more difficult to attack from the outside. Great, because the Carthage camp is protected by a city wall, and lie in ambush in the port, taking advantage of the exhaustion of Carthage’s offensive army, it is easier to launch a counterattack to achieve results!

Margo had no time to reflect on his negligence at this time. The situation took a turn for the worse. He immediately realized that Hasdruba’s army was defeated by a sudden attack by a powerful enemy. Now that the forces in the camp are scattered, it may be too late for Serinu. To go to the rescue in Sicheng, the only way to concentrate on defending the Carthage camp!

He made up his mind and decisively issued an order: "Immediately notify Kisig and Stikamo, let them lead the army to defend the inner wall of the camp, prevent the Dionian army from attacking the camp, and at the same time guide—"

Before Marge's words were finished, there was an ear-splitting sound of fighting from the south of the camp.

Everyone's discoloration changed again.

It turned out that the Carthage’s army was completely defeated too quickly, and the Dionian army’s pursuit was also very fast. When the Carthage’s troops rushed back to the camp and reported the news to Margo, the Carthage’s troops had already been defeated. Driven out of the city, he was rushing towards the Carthage camp, which was only one mile away from the city of Silinus, and the soldiers of the Dionian Legion chased him from the tail.

In order to capture the city of Selinus, the earth wall that Margot built to connect with the outer wall of Selinus is now convenient for the Dionian army, and some of the legionaries walk along the earth wall. They rushed over. Since the Carthaginian army had pushed the offensive line to the inner wall of Selinnus, there was no garrison on the inner wall of the camp, making it easy for the Dionian army from multiple directions. Rushed into the Carthage camp.

The Carthage defeat and the Dionian army quickly messed up the entire camp.

Marco stood on the city wall, looking at the soldiers running around in the camp, and what he heard most was: "Help! Run away! We are defeated!..."

Being defeated like a mountain, Margot had completely lost control of the Carthage army, and was at a loss for a while.

At this moment, he saw that there was still an army in a relatively complete formation, hurriedly coming from the south, and the leader was Kisgor. He hurried to the wall and shouted: "Ma Brother, all the Numibians have rebelled! The situation is very critical, I will **** you with my troops, let's...hurry up and escape the camp!"

The camp of the Numibians is mainly in the southeast of the Carthage camp, not far from the wall where Margo is. Before Kisgor led the army to sit there, and it was not too surprising to be able to arrive in time. , But in such a chaotic situation, it is not easy to ensure that the army under his command is basically complete.

Marco stood on the wall, looking around the camp where the soldiers were crying and screaming endlessly. He remembered his ambitious vow a few months ago and led an army of 100,000 to land in Sicily. It was a bubble.

Why did it suddenly become like this! ...Marge was very unwilling, and finally his eyes fell on the Dionian army outside the camp. The golden flag was so dazzling, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, and he shouted Said: "Kisgo, lead your troops, and come out with me!"

The Carthage camp was full of dust and noise, and soldiers continued to escape from the camp. The Dionian army outside the camp was naturally aware of it. Obviously, the pre-planned plan has been successful, Daves They were very excited, so Daves gave the order: "The army accelerates forward, approaching the camp gate in the east of the camp, and intercepting the fleeing soldiers."

This time Tolmead did not raise an objection.

But not long after, he reminded loudly: "Your Majesty, these Carthage soldiers who have just left the camp seem to be preparing to attack us!"

Of course, Dafoss also discovered this anomaly: the number of Carthage soldiers who had just gushed out of the camp was large, and they did not run hurriedly like other soldiers, but gathered together, facing them, and actually began to line up!

"Go and call Sextus!" Not long after Daves finished speaking, Sextus, the captain of the Roman Reserve Brigade, rushed to him.

"Sextus, aren't you complaining that you didn't let the Roman Brigade participate in this battle, now the opportunity is here." Daves pointed to the front and said sternly: "Did you see it? The Carthaginians Prepare to attack us, and want to make up for the defeat of their camp through victory. You should be very clear that in this army, except for the Roman Reserve Brigade and cavalry, everyone else is sufficient, so it seems that the number of opponents is more than us. But I hope that the Roman Reserve Brigade will act as the main force to attack the enemy on the opposite side and completely shatter their illusions. Can it be done?"

After listening to Sextus, he gave a powerful military salute and confidently said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this battle will be handed over to our Roman Reserve Brigade!"

Daves immediately returned the Israeli military salute and said: "Tell my brothers, I will follow them forward, and my safety depends on their victory!"

Sextus felt heavy responsibility at this time. He looked at Daves' firm expression, swallowed the words he wanted to persuade, and turned and ran towards his team.

At the same time, the three cavalry commanders, Leidse, Kuchius, and Asitmis, also rushed to the call.

Davers stared at them and said in a deep voice: "I know that the cavalry has not played a big role in the battle with the Carthaginians so far. The next battle may be the last of Sicily. In a battle, I hope you can revive the reputation of the Dionian cavalry!"

The three legion commanders looked at each other, fighting spirit burned in their eyes.

Leides furiously said: "Your Majesty, give your order, we will surely let the Carthaginians see how powerful the Dionian cavalry is!"

"Very good! The 1st Cavalry Regiment is located on the left wing of the Roman Reserve Brigade, and the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Regiments are located on the right wing. After the offensive bugles sounded, they immediately launched a frontal impact on the Carthaginian line! After the enemy, continue to chase all the defeated soldiers who escaped from the Carthage camp!"

"Yes!!!"

After Leides and the others left, Daves immediately told Tolmid: "Send someone to inform the Numibian cavalry, so that they will come and attack the side of the Carthage army immediately."

"Your Majesty, those Numibian cavalry will not necessarily obey orders." Tolmid said worriedly.

Daves smiled slightly and said confidently: "The reason why the Numibian cavalry is willing to cooperate with us in implementing today's combat plan is because they learned that the Carthage fleet was almost annihilated. Now Carthage The collapse of the army is imminent, and these smart wall-and-grass will make the right choice!"

As it is getting closer and closer to the Carthage camp, the Roman Reserve Brigade at the front of the army has gradually transformed into a checkerboard-like array during the march. In the previous Rome, they practiced this set of tactics. Very skilled, the tactics of the Dionia Corps are roughly the same, but more detailed and complicated, but after repeated exercises during this period, they have mastered it.

Sixtus rushed to the front of the array on horseback, raised his hand high, attracted the attention of the soldiers, and then shouted: "Brothers, you are like Dioni. After the citizens of the Kingdom of Asia, they saw the kingdom’s strength and prosperity, and gained land and rights. We are all fortunate that we made the right choice, but we also have shortcomings. Many Dionian citizens look upon us with contempt. Because we were once defeated, and did not make any outstanding contributions to this powerful kingdom, we enjoy the same rights as them!

Now the opportunity is here. This time we will become the main force in the battle. We will fight the Carthaginians in front of us, take out all your strength and courage, defeat them, and tell the other citizens of the kingdom with victory that we Romans are not weak. ! "

"Roar! Roar! Roar!..." The roaring Roman soldier banged on the long shield with his short sword and roared loudly.

At this time, the bugle sounded, Sextus turned his horse's head and waved his hand forward: "Go forward!"

…………………………………

Outside the Carthage camp, the Carthage military commander Marco also shouted to the restless soldiers to boost their morale: "Citizens of Carthage and the Phoenician allies, In this war with Dionians, we failed and our fleet was destroyed. We were trapped on Sicily. We are about to become the captives of the Dionians and their slaves. We will be in the dark. We work to death in the mine, and our home in Africa will be invaded by the Dionians. Are we willing to bear the tragic fate that the lowly Dionians want to impose on us?!"

The soldiers raised their heads one by one, and the frustrated eyes now focused on Margo.

Marco furiously pointed forward and roared: "Have you seen the Dionian army ahead! The King Dionian who brought us disaster is in that team! Warriors, take out With your courage, defeat them and capture King Dionia, we can go home safely!"
