v8 Chapter 330： Marco's new strategy and the choice of the Tonys

This tone made Marge feel very harsh. His eyes were round and round, but then he remembered the prying eyes of Preta Kuba. He immediately lowered his gaze and asked as calmly as possible: "I heard that the Senate sent you to Dior. The Neon people mentioned the cessation of the war and the matter. I wonder how the King of Dionia responded?"

Just now, the sudden imposing eruption of Marge made El Akra shocked. He replied quickly: "The King of Dionia is very willing to go to war with Carthage!"

"This does not mean that the Diaonians are not as good at us as they are, and they are afraid to continue fighting and encounter failures. Therefore, we want to stop the battle and to save the victory they have achieved. Are we willing to stop in this situation? The battle of the Dionys??” Ma Ge asked loudly.

El Akra snorted and then murmured: "Now... from the current situation, it is our Carthage is at a disadvantage!"

Marco looked at him with a cold eye and suddenly looked forward at his arm and said in a commanding voice: "You come with me!"

El Akra’s footsteps were pulled out by Margot, and he felt both confused and fearful.

Marge took him to a relatively empty place before the big account and pointed to the rear and said, "What did you see?"

El Akra set his mind and said with a slight sigh: "A wall that is being built... looks like it is long..."

"It's not like it, but it's really long!" Marge said affirmatively: "It will extend from the seaside east of Sellinus to the west side of the sea, the city of Serinus and our Dionya The camp is included!"

"I was surprised when I came. Why did you build the wall behind the camp?" El Accra asked his own question.

"Since the Diaonians are afraid to fight with us, then we can only take the initiative to attack!" Marco looked forward and said: "Our target is Celinus! Serinus It is the residence of the Dionysian fleet. The Dionysian fleet can cruise the western waters every day and block our route. The port of Serinus plays a big role, as long as we can capture it and let the Dionia navy Losing a foothold in the western part of Sicily will inevitably reduce their naval superiority and reduce their threat to the western waters and the Afrika coast. However, because of the importance of Serenus, the Diaonians will certainly not give up, they must Will be tenacious defense, I am afraid that later, the main force of the Dionysian army will enter Serinus from the sea and fight with us..."

El Akra was happy when he heard the words in the front, but after listening to the words, he was worried again: "Is this not our offensive, the defense of the Dionyrian army?! You are not saying such an offensive. Did it cause a lot of casualties to our soldiers?!"

"The Diaonians do have some experience in defending the city, but attacking the city of Sellinus is much easier than attacking the Minoa Mountain!" Marco said confidently: "I have been with Admiral for a few days. Analysis and discussion, decided to build the outer wall first, protect our entire camp, let the army attack the city with all strength, avoid the Germans from the east when they attacked the city, or land on the nearby beaches. , attack us."

Having said that, Marco is pointing to the front again: "What do you think is that?"

El Accra's gaze passed through the gaps of many tents and saw something in front of the city of Sellinus. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Do you still want to build an interior wall?!"

When Marco looked at the earth wall that had been put on hold for a long time, he couldn’t help but think of the night he was attacked by the Dionyrian army. He sighed and said: "I will not only build the inner wall, but Surrounded by the city of Sellinus, and based on the inner wall, build a number of mountain hills, and then build a vertical wall based on the earth hills, extending forward to meet the walls of Sellinus... By that time, The Dionyns have no defensive advantage. Fighting under the same conditions, we can certainly defeat the Diorians!..."

El Akra heard this, inexplicably felt more confident, but he was somewhat confused: "Listen to the plan of Ma Ge and yours, this will be a big project! To build these walls, as well as the Tushan... I am afraid It takes a long time?!"

"Don't forget that there are more than 100,000 soldiers under my command!" said Marco, proudly. "After getting the rations delivered by Carthage, they started building the outer walls. It is now two days, you enter the camp. I have already seen the progress of the outer wall. Do you think it will take a long time to complete my plan?"

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

After Leotizides and Zantitipis led the army to the main city of Syracuse, on the second day, Sicily Governor Sipros arrived at Syracuse, with Leo Tiddides and Zampipa. Rees and Hiktas, who had just returned to Dionia, and his nephew Zamoratis discussed how to deal with the captured Syracuse soldiers and urban people, how to stabilize the order in the city as soon as possible...

Everyone soon reached an agreement: except for a few urban people who had immediate family ties with the people in the port area, all of them became slaves to the kingdom of Dionia.

The reason why this decision was made, Cipros, who had been in Katane for many years, believes that since Syracuse had always been the hegemon of Sicily, even if it is now, the Syracuse people always look at themselves very high. In the heart, there is always a dream of restoring the glory of the past, forcing such a group of restless people to be forced into the law of Dionia. If there is an abnormal situation, they may jump out of chaos, especially now that Dionia is in the middle of it. At a critical juncture of the war, it is the safest way to turn all of them into slaves and leave Sicily.

For Hiktas and Zamoratis, their rebellion led to the final fall of Syracuse, and the people in the same city were already in a similar situation. Of course, they did not want to live in the same city with them, let alone the port area. After the people became Diaonian citizens, they certainly hoped to live in Syracuse as well. The land they deserved was also in Syracuse, and most of the land in Syracuse was in the hands of urban people. ......

Therefore, for all parties, the people in the city of Syracuse can only be victims.

At the same time, the finance, household registration, agriculture, business, court and other officials brought by Sipros have begun to take over the affairs of the city of Syracuse, the statistics of the property and spoils, the statistics of the urban housing, the measurement of tin The land of La Cuzza, the people in the port area, and the seriousness of their rights and obligations to become citizens of the Dionian citizens...

The long-cherished wish of the people in the port area of ​​Syracuse is about to be realized. They have shown great enthusiasm and actively assisted the officials of the Dionia to do things under the leadership of Hiktas, especially helping the seventh and the Together with the soldiers of the Eighth Army, a tall city wall was built in the isthmus, completely separating the connection between the island of Ortigia and the main city. Every day there is a ship (from the original Syracuse fleet) uninterrupted. Cruise around the island of Ortigia.

Syracuse is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and it is seen by the people of Tonys and Leotini who are not far from it. They are paralyzed.

On the waterfront, Tonys has very little land. Leotini is a little better, but it can't meet the land needs of a growing population. Now they see the port of Siracusa, which was much worse than theirs. The people in the district can now get fertile land and get a good house. They feel uncomfortable: because they also participated in the battle against Siracusa, they have sacrificed more than the people in the port area of ​​Syracuse, but It's just unfair to get a little bit of loot!

At the strong request of the people, the top leaders of the two city-states rushed to Syracuse to express their feelings to Xipulos.

Sipros revealed the embarrassing color and reluctantly said to them: The distribution of the spoils after the victory of the war between Dionia and the Allies was strictly written into the Covenant, and the land was not included in it. He did not have the power to go. Make changes without authorization. Moreover, according to the provisions of the Law of Dionia, only the citizens of Dionia can obtain the land. The people of Tonys and Leotini want to obtain the land of Syracuse. There is only one way to become a citizen of Dionia. !

The high-level officials of the two city-states returned without success, but the words that Sipnors said were quickly promoted in the two city-states under the impetus of the people. www.novelhall.com~

Moreover, there are still some remarks spread among the people of the two cities. For example, even if the land of Syracuse is completed after the distribution of the people in the port area, there will be a lot left, but the Diaonian Senate According to this situation, other landless citizens of the Dionia region will be assigned to Syracuse, and there will be no extra land by then.

Another example: becoming a Diaonian citizen is much better than being a Tony (Liondini) citizen. Not only do you have to worry about not having land, you don’t have to worry about being invaded by a strong enemy, you also have to become a powerful kingdom citizen. proud……

More than 10 years ago, when Tonys, Leotini and Katana were both independent from the rule of Syracuse, the people of the two cities witnessed the situation that was more miserable than them. How did the people of Katana, who regarded slaves as slaves, start to rebuild their homes, how to gradually become rich, how to have a proud position, and let them have to show respect... a quiet past for more than a decade, think To become a seed of the Diaonian citizens has long been unknowingly buried in their hearts, and this time the impact of Syracuse's impact on them is only the result of the blossoming of the seeds of this heart.
