v8 Chapter 321： 瓮中鳖鳖

The fastest update to the latest chapters of the ancient Greek Mediterranean hegemon!

Of course, the San Iberians did not relax their vigilance. When the Devonian infantry climbed the river bank and appeared in this relatively flat hilly area, they were alerted to the St. Ibania sentinel, they immediately I informed the city about this terrible news.

The San Iberians were very scared and ran into the city to escape. However, the Mano River is not too far from the city of St. Ibania, not too far, and St. Ibania is a metal processing center. The city is surrounded by melting fields, and some are even built directly a few miles away. Under the mountains (so that it is convenient to get wood), when the infantry of the Daiyan fleet rushed outside the city, there were still many people working in the smelting plant, the mine, and the slaves failed to escape into the city in time, and the fleet infantry broke out. A small part of them arrested them, and most of the soldiers bypassed the city of St. Ibania and went straight to the port of the Temo River.

The port is not linked to the city of St. Ibania. Although the lower Temo River is different from the Mano River, some relatively flat land on both sides of the river can be developed into a port, but the Temo River is built on the hills. The city of Iberia has a height difference of tens of meters, so the San Iberian people only built a wide flat stone road connected to the port to facilitate the transportation of goods.

The third fleet infantry followed the road and approached the port.

The port is so important, of course, it also has wall protection, although its defense is focused on the estuary to prevent the fleet from entering at sea, and on the side close to the city, there is also a wall, but there are no outposts and trenches, and Dai Ou Nia came too fast, and the panicked St. Ibania were busy escaping into the city, resulting in a small number of defenders in the port, but their defenders still boarded the city and fought hard.

The fleet infantry took a dozen ladders from the ship and set off on the walls of the port.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, about 100 sailors of the five cargo ships that entered the port suddenly gathered together, took out the weapons hidden in the cargo ship, and began to attack the defenders in the port.

The San Iberian people were caught off guard. Under the attack of inside and outside, the Dionyrian army quickly broke into the port and successfully occupied the levee embankment and tower at the estuary and raised the wooden gate of the river. The 160 warships of the Dionysian fleet that have been in the vicinity of the sea (after the naval battle, the third fleet was replenished by some new warships, so that the number of warships increased and increased) smoothly squeezed into the port. .

After discovering the enemy's situation, the Saint Ibania immediately sent a letter to the horse to rush to the south for help.

The closest Phoenician town to San Ibini is the tharros, located on the central coast of the west coast of Sardinia, with excellent harbours and fertile plains along the river. About 70 miles, although there are mountains across the road, the road near the beach is relatively flat.

In the past, due to the large metal output of St. Ibania, the capacity of the river port was small, which often led to a backlog of goods. Later, under the coordination of the Garthakis who were stationed in Sardinia and supervised the various Phoenician city-states, Part of the precious metal cargo was transported south to Saros, and then transported to Carthage through its port. For this reason, the Saros people also worked hard to build a broad and flat avenue connecting St. Ibania and also built on the Manliu River. Two wooden bridges.

It is the union with Saint Ibania, coupled with its own good conditions. Through decades of rapid development, Sarros has become one of the best Phoenician towns on the island of Sardinia, not weaker than Kalaris. (Caralis, Kalaris is a Phoenician town on the southern tip of Sardinia. It also has an excellent port, a fertile river plain, and because it is closest to Carthage across the sea, There are more frequent trades between the bases, so since the Venetian fleet harassed Sardinia, the Phoenician coalitions temporarily built in the Phoenician town on the island were stationed in the city of Sarros, before the Carta The new fleet of the base is also stationed at the port of Saros, whose main purpose is to protect the security of Saint Ibania.

Hearing that the Dionyns were attacking San Ibania, the coalition forces formed by 10,000 civic soldiers from the Phoenician towns on the island immediately stepped on the flat avenue and marched north to rescue.

On the way forward, I again met the messenger of Saint Libonia and got the latest news: the Daonians occupied the river port and were still destroying the melting pot outside the city.

The commander of the coalition was a young aristocrat from Carthage, who was originally a knight of Kalaris (the civic soldiers from other Phoenician towns were also led by the Carthage of the town) and heard this. The news is both worried and excited: the fear is that if San Ibania’s harassment and destruction of the Dionyrians will lead to a significant reduction in metal production, his command as the Phoenician coalition will inevitably be met by the Carthage Senate. The reprimand may even lose the fate of the Sardinian judge and be ordered to return to Carthage; the excitement is that he learned from the letter that the Daonian army committed was only about three or four thousand. Being able to arrive in time, defeating them should be an easy task, and then count the last victory. His outstanding performance will surely attract the attention of the Carthage people and the Senate, and lay the foundation for his future entry into the Senate.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to give orders: let the whole army accelerate.

In the afternoon, the Phoenician coalition finally rushed to the city of St. Ibania, and the Ethiopian Fleet infantry who got the news hurriedly gathered and began to retreat towards the Temo River.

The Phoenician coalition forces are chasing after.

On the banks of the river, the infantry of the Dionysian fleet stopped retreating and began to array.

The Phoenician coalition also stopped pursuing, and also launched a battle 300 meters away, ready to completely defeat the Dionyrian army through a positive battle.

When the Phoenician soldiers were using the array of opportunities to let themselves go through a few hours of rushing to the army and the very tired body could get a slight rest relief, suddenly there was a commotion in the forefront of the military.

"Look! Devonian heavy infantry! Where did they come from?!"

"We are fooled! The Dionysian army can not only have these thousands of people, they hide the heavy infantry in the river port!"

"God, these heavy infantry are coming out constantly, how many people are there in the end!"

......

The young commander of the Phoenician coalition forces, while standing by their own soldiers, has been watching the enemies in front of them, mainly because they fear that the number of those who are less than their own, all light armored soldiers will suddenly flee (he put Dior The Nigerian infantry was considered a light armor, but he suddenly saw the newly-arrived Dionya army begin to move to the right, letting the road to the river port of San Ibania, and then a team The team of Titanian soldiers wearing neat black helmets and long Shields with a long Shield was in front of his eyes and quickly moved to the right following the troops in front.

The soldiers of the Dionyrian Army continued to emerge, and the length of the short array of the Dionysian Army was soon close to the Phoenician army.

At this time, how can the Phoenician coalition commander not know that this is a Daonian conspiracy. This sudden change not only makes the soldiers feel panic, but he does not panic, but now complains that the Saint Ibania did not care carefully. Scouting, giving the wrong information, causing him to be inadequate... These are no longer meaningful, and he has no time to think about where the regular Danian army came from, because according to the news he got. : The king of Dionia has led all the Dionian troops to fight in the Sicily with the commanding army of Carthage.

At this moment, the first thought that came out of his mind was to retreat, but he immediately dismissed the idea, because if the coalition retreats, the Diaonians will inevitably attack the city of St. Ibania, the city as Sardinian Asia's metal smelting center, the city's planning and construction are to facilitate the collection, transportation, trade, smelting of ore...not as a fortress town, even if it is not comparable to the defense capabilities of ordinary towns, it is impossible Resist the attack of the Dionyrian army with so many soldiers. Once the city of St. Ibania was captured, he would definitely feel the anger of the Carthage Senate.

Moreover, the soldiers have been very tired after a few hours of rapid marching. It is a taboo to retreat in front of the battle. Once the Dionians attack, it is likely to lead to the collapse of the entire army.

The only way he can think of now is: The Devianians have not yet listed the battles There may be many soldiers under the river bank, failing to enter the battlefield, and quickly launch an attack, perhaps Have a chance to win.

So, he blushes to the command of the offensive.

Half an hour later, the luck of the Carthage general was shattered, and the physically weak Phoenician coalition was defeated by the resurgent ninth legion and the fleet infantry. The defeated Phoenician soldiers had a part to go to St. Ibi. Niagara escaped, and more people wanted to escape to the city of Saros, but when they fled to the banks of the Mano River, they found that the two wooden bridges had been occupied by the Danonian soldiers.

It turned out that just after the Phoenician coalition crossed the Mano River, the warships of the Third Fleet re-entered the Mano River estuary, allowing two company members of the Dionysian Army to climb ashore, occupying only the Mano River. Two wooden bridges.

The return road was intercepted, and the rear chasing troops arrived later. Many of the Phoenician soldiers surrendered desperately, and some of the defeated soldiers returned and fled to the city of St. Iberia.

The San Iberians learned of the news that the Phoenician coalition suffered a fiasco, and they were very panicked. They believed that the winners of the Dionys would attack their towns immediately, but the time passed by, only the constant escape. The Phoenician squadron, but has never seen the figure of the Dionysian army, was surprised.
