v8 Chapter 327： Shocked Carthage

In the process of taking over, Carthage and Tyre did not have no conflicts, but in the end, the handover was completed smoothly. There was no big war. It was really the political situation in the east, and it was difficult for Tyre to protect itself. There is also the ability to launch a war with Carthage. The two sides finally reached a centennial agreement, not because they are the same people, but because Carthage needs to provide more in the eastern Phoenician region headed by Tyre. The colonial population and the market for trade, while Tyre needs precious metals from the Western Mediterranean, which is a win-win situation.

In the past 100 years, Carthage and Tell have been close and cooperative, but they are all in trade. In politics, there has never been a mutual exchange of visits between high-level political parties. This is the first time in military cooperation.

The Puserika fleet came to the Western Mediterranean, why not directly enter the port of Carthage? In order to avoid being diagnosed by the Dionysian navy as a reason, there is another reason that Carthage is now powerful and rich in the Western Mediterranean. It is far from being able to compare Tyre under the fence, so it is in the self-respect of the Thai aristocracy. He would rather choose to stay in a colony that was once built by the Thais, now a town called Hadrumentum, and not to go to the bustling Carthage to avoid losing his heart.

At the same time, Puserica also wanted to use a field victory to show the Carthage people that Tyre and the Phoenician region in the east are still the most powerful reliance of Carthage. Who knows that the first raid battle he had carefully planned, was actually reversed by the Dionyns in the case of a clear advantage, and was also captured a lot of crew.

Puserica led the remnant warships to escape to Hadrumentum and immediately sent someone to tell the Carthage Senate, hoping that they could redeem the captured Phoenician crew.

However, a few days later, the Senate responded: Dionia agreed to exchange prisoners, but only agreed to exchange one to one. Because the number of East Phoenicia crew members was more than one, I am afraid that a small number could not be exchanged.

Although Poserica was angry, there was no way. Dionia’s attitude was tough, always insisted, and did not accept the ransom. Eventually, some East Phoenician captives failed to be rescued, which made Pserica not dare to lead the remnants. The warship returned to the Eastern Mediterranean and was afraid of being questioned by the people.

At the same time, the strength of the Dionysian Navy made him feel awkward. He refused to go to Battle for Carthage on the grounds that "the fleet was seriously damaged and needed a long break." After staying for a few months, he was expecting Carthage and Dionia to finally decide the outcome and reach a truce so that he could redeem his compatriots and return to the country to make a difference.

However, according to what was learned during this time, Pserikar felt that although Carthage was at a disadvantage, it was impossible to stop the war in a short time, but the crew stayed in the city of Hadrumumum every day. After a long time, I missed my hometown and asked him to return to the Eastern Mediterranean for many times. Every time I persuaded them to let him use his tongue, even now he has also shaken himself: if he wants to return to the Eastern Mediterranean, wait for the end of the war, let Carthage helped him redeem his compatriots?

These days, he has been entangled in this problem, can not eat, sleep well, fell asleep late last night, and was still asleep this morning, suddenly suddenly was awakened: "General, Dionia People kill the city!"

"Just kidding, here is Afrika, not Sicily!" Pserika yelled at his men loudly, but then he heard the deafening screams and crying outside, suddenly changing his face and eagerly said: " Fast! Go to the port! Drive our ship and leave here!"

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

One of the main purposes of Pserikar’s knowledge of the Sicilian fleet’s attack on the city of Hadrumum is to destroy the East Phoenicia United Fleet because it is far from Carthage and the moored Hadrumentum port Not strong, it is very easy to get.

The Sicilian fleet docked directly on the beach south of Hadrumumum, and 7,000 fleet infantry quickly jumped off the crow ship, squatting on the prepared ladder and heading straight to the city of Hadrumumum.

At this time, it is approaching noon. The Hadrumentum talents who have a comfortable life have just finished breakfast. Some people are strolling out of the city, preparing to go to the farm outside the city, supervising the Numigyan slaves to prepare for winter sowing, and the result is met face to face. The Dearinian soldiers who rushed like a wolf, the long-awaited Hadrumentumm was frightened and panicked and ran to the city.

Not many sentinels in the city suffered this kind of crisis for the first time in their lives. After a panic, they remembered to close the gate. But the gates could not be closed, because the people who fled had blocked the entire city gate.

The Venetian fleet infantry and even the ladders were useless, and they easily entered the city. While they were making chaos in the city, their main force went straight to the port.

Pussarika rushed to the port, just boarded the warship, the infantry of the Daiyan fleet arrived, and hungry to the East Phoenicia crew who had not yet boarded the warship.

The unscrupulous East Phoenicians were killed.

Puserica saw this horror, and hurriedly let the ship leave the port. He knew that the Venetian fleet was kept outside the port. He was slammed when he left the port. Other warships and merchant ships hurriedly turned back. The results collided with each other and became a pot of porridge.

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

On this day, the Carthage elders were deliberately discussing the "Dyonia people occupying the port of St. Ibania and Saros". Everyone discussed and did not give any effective suggestions for a long time. It is really because of Jiatai. Base now concentrates almost all the army and navy in the direction of Sicily, and there is no extra military force to support Sardinia.

It was only then that they realized that Carthage and Dionia were not as strong as they were, and that until now, Carthage is already at a distinct disadvantage.

Preta Kuba suggested: "A further war mobilization of the Carthage and Phoenician allies, the recruitment of two or three thousand troops, and the generals of Morbar led the fleet to send them to Kalaris in Sardinia. Opportunity to recapture the Saros and St. Ibania occupied by the Diaonians and restore the normal order of Sardinia..."

Oklahoma sneered at this. He ridiculed: "Re-inviting two or three thousand people?! Does Preta Kuba think that we are a Persian Carthage, can there be endless sources of money?! I tell you this. Since the beginning of the war, Carthage has been recruited by nearly 50,000 soldiers (including naval personnel, and it is the majority). Up to now, there have been nearly 20,000 deaths and injuries. You think Carthage has more If there are more soldiers, if the people are sent to fight, then who will plant the land and provide food for the army? Who will do business and provide gold and silver for the national treasury?..."

Preta Kuba is a word.

"You can only recruit a small number of citizens to serve as team officers in the city of Carthage. Most of the soldiers are provided by the Allies." A Magonidian veteran quickly added.

"The situation in the Allies is not much better than us!" Oklahoma sneered: "They are also recruited twice, how can there be extra troops!"

"You can recruit more Numisians as you have done before." Another Magonidian veteran made another suggestion.

"The East and West Namibia were recruited 70,000 people before and after, and their casualties are also the biggest. Those Namibian tribes will not be stupid enough to agree with our recruitment requirements, and we will only threaten if we ask for it. To the survival of the Numibia tribe, be careful to arouse their resistance!" Hanno's righteous warning.

Hanno’s words made the veterans move: Yes, the Carthaginians were used to the obedience of the Numisians, but this kindness was caused by the Carthage’s decades of political and military conquest, but in reality The entire population of Numibia can be several times more than that of Carthage. Now that Carthage is fully committed to the war in Sicily, the domestic forces are empty and indeed should ensure stability and avoid turmoil.

Taipanrak once stood up again and said loudly: "In fact, the problem about Sardinia is well solved, as long as the Ma Ge adults led the troops in Sicily to defeat the main force of Diaonia, and regained in Sicily. With the advantage of the island, it is possible to withdraw some of the troops to solve the problem in Sardinia.

But now, the Ma Ge, who is regarded as a hero by the Carthage people, holds the 100,000 troops that we have been painstakingly recruited, but seems to have suddenly lost courage. So far, there has not been a battle with the main army of Dionia. Is it really because the King of Dionia has scared him? ”

The veterans of the Magonid were very angry when they heard this. www.novelhall.com~ Just want to stand up and refute.

At this time, the door of the venue was suddenly pushed away: "You adults, it's not good! Hadrumentum is being attacked by the Dionyrians!"

The elders were shocked. Many people immediately expressed doubts because they had been peaceful for centuries in the sphere of influence of Carthage in Afrika, and there had never been any aggression.

However, when the city guards who broke into the venue came to ask for help, the Hadrumentum messenger (in fact, the first Hadrumentum who fled to Carthage) brought them into the venue, they cried. After the rogue tells of the general catastrophe in the city of Hadrumum, the scene suddenly became silent, and everyone’s heart had a terrible thought: the war actually spread. On the land where they live! ! !

A moment later, Preta Kuba made a decisive suggestion: "We should immediately rush the troops of the Carthage stationed in Numidia to Hadrumentum to destroy these **** Diaonian robbers! We should also Immediately sent the Clippers to inform Morbar, let him lead the fleet to the waters near Hadrumentum, and send the warships of Dionia to the sea to feed the fish!..."
