v8 Chapter 332： Amintas has a heavy responsibility

"Very good defense!" Daphus once again applauded: "It seems that in the face of the upcoming massacre of the Carthage army, you are not afraid, but are actively using your brains. I want a better defense, this is good!".

Davers walked up the city and looked out the city.

In his vision, not only is it dusty, but also the voices of the people, through the dusty fog, the innumerable figures hundreds of meters away from the city are like the hard ants who are constantly busy, they are digging A long trench around the city of Sellinus, and the mud that was dug out was piled up in the rear. It was a contiguous camp behind this unfinished land. A tent was like a star in the sky. There are countless, and farther away, there is another wall that has been built around the city of Sellinus...

Deavers stared for a moment, and his face became serious: "It seems that the Carthaginians are serious this time, they are really ready to attack the city of Sellinus!"

"I am afraid that the Carthaginians have no choice but to attack the city of Sellinus." Alexis said.

Daves nodded and didn't talk. When he walked down the tower, he deliberately observed the soldiers patrolling the city. They all looked nervous and muscles were tight.

After coming to the city's main house, Davers immediately convened a military conference.

"The situation in Serenus is grim. The attack of the Carthaginians is imminent. What do you think?" Davers asked at the door.

"Your Majesty, Silinus must be immediately reinforced. I am willing to lead the First Corps to Serenus defense!" Amintas took the initiative to fight, and this time in Minora, he also saw: Daves did not intend to fight with the Carthaginians in a short time, and Serinus will be the focus of the next war.

"I agree with Amintas's opinion that Serinus must be reinforced!" Alexis also said: "But a legion's strength is still too small, at least two legions of reinforcements, so as to ensure that the defense is completed. At the same time, there are forces that can take the initiative to disrupt the attack of the Carthaginians.

Just now, Calcidis gave me a good inspiration. In the past, we used to arrange multiple obstacles outside the city and the camp to prevent and kill the enemy. Now the Carthage army is in danger and it is impossible to be outside the city. Detailed arrangements are made, but defensive measures can be built in the city. Why not fix a few interior walls and arrange more traps? After all, we must focus on protecting the port. There are no residents in the city. We can use it as a battlefield, and achieve the goal of killing the Carthage soldiers and giving them a major blow! However, it takes a lot of manpower to demolish urban houses, build walls, traps, etc. in a short period of time..."

Daves listened carefully and thought about it, and then he said to Amintas, "I just heard these suggestions from Alexis? What do you think?"

Amintas is anxious to say: "The proposal of Alexis is very good, but those are after the enemy begins to attack the city. If I am the commander of the city of Serinus, I will ask the majesty to dispatch a cavalry. The Legion gave me the command. The Carthaginians are now building the walls at such a close distance. In fact, they are using obstacles caused by the use of cavalry. I will send cavalry regiments to raid them from time to time.

In addition, I would like to ask my majesty to transfer all the guns and belly bows to me. I will let them all settle in the city, carry out precise attacks on the Carthaginians, and constantly kill the Carthage soldiers... ”

After listening to it, Daves indulged for a moment and decisively said: "Amintas, I appointed you as the commander of Celinus, leading the First Army, the Sixth Corps, the First Cavalry Corps and Serenus. The defenders, a total of 22,000 people, kept me in the city of Sellinus. If you fall, you should not come to see me!"

The reason why he chose Amintas as the commander of Sellinus, Daves certainly has his own considerations: although Amintas sometimes loses calmness because he is too warlike in the offense, but when defending, his performance is More calm, but can give full play to his experienced expertise, in the Ostia defense battle is very obvious.

"Let's rest assured, I will let Serinus become the prison of the Carthaginians!" Amintas said loudly in excitement.

"I will inform Seclín and ask him to pick up some of the crew and help your troops complete the construction of the defense facility in the city of Serinus as soon as possible."

Davers said, and looked at Carl Sidis: "Carthidis, you will still command the original 4,000 soldiers, and have the right to attend every military meeting in the city of Serinus, because you are familiar with Sellin. The situation of the city of Nuss and the enemy outside the city can give Amintas good advice."

When Calcidis heard this, he was uplifted. His original position was appointed by Commander Leo Tiddides. Now that King Davers continues to let him command the 4,000 people, he is actually appointed. Moreover, wartime military meetings like this can only be attended by positions of the head of the army. Special circumstances allow ordinary team officers to participate, and Davers allows him to participate in the military conference of Celinus in the future. He has the qualification to sit on the same level as the head of the army.

"Thank you!" he said with a trembling voice.

"Alexis has to command Minoah's army for me. I can't leave you there!" Daphus said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Your Majesty, I am very happy to help you!" Alexis said with ease.

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

After successfully building the outer wall of the camp, Ma Ge ordered the soldiers to hurry to build the inner wall, and saw that the trenches had been dug up, and the soil barriers were gradually being built and compacted, but the situation changed. The originally calm city of Sellinus suddenly rushed out hundreds of cavalry from the North Gate, East Gate and West Gate, and raided the Carthage soldiers who were building the inner walls of the camp.

The unsuspecting Carthage soldiers broke down and the Dionysian cavalry returned to the city in time as the heavily armed Carthage reinforcements arrived.

After several raids, Marge realized that the Daonians had already increased their troops in the city of Serenus and began to strengthen the harassment outside the city. It is obviously impossible for the Carthage army to attack the forest in the same way as before. In the case of the city of Nuss, the construction of the facility is carried out in the city without the attention of the defenders.

Although he wanted to attack the city of Celinus and attract the main force of Dionia to come to a decisive battle, he hoped that after completing all the arrangements and losing his defense advantage in the city of Sellinus. Therefore, he ordered the troops to step up the construction of the inner wall of the camp, and at the same time placed a fully armed army behind the soldiers who built the inner wall for defense.

At the same time, he also transferred thousands of cavalry, patrolling the outside of the inner wall of the camp, staring at the movements of several gates in the city of Sellinus.

Who knows, the city’s rifle and the abdomen bow were launched together, and concentrated on the place where the Carthage cavalry and infantry gathered hundreds of meters away, causing some casualties, forcing Ma Ge to rush to withdraw the defensive forces.

Of course, he did not interrupt the construction of the inner wall, but instead sent soldiers to step up the construction, but also pulled the guns, under the cover of the soil barrier to attack the hair of the city of Sellinus.

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

When Marco was racking his brains to deal with the raids in the city, he received a request from the Palermo messenger for help: a tens of thousands of Dionysian troops landed on the beach near Palermoes!

Marge was taken aback: Dionya’s army was not on the south coast, or in the mountains of the middle. How did another army of tens of thousands of people emerge? Was the Dionia being recruited from the Great Greece?

Marco didn’t think it might be the Dionya army that attacked Syracuse, mainly because he saw Syracuse, he didn’t think that the Dionyrian army could overcome it in such a short period of time. Syracuse.

Although a little worried about the military potential of Dionia, Marco does not have time to think about the origin of this Dionyrian army. He realized that because of the calmness of the North Coast during this time, he began to ignore this place a bit far away. The Phoenician city-state in the heart of western Sicily has also taken away some of the citizens of Palermos who came to Celinus to build the walls. Now Palemos is attacked. If it falls, it means that The shoreline that the Taiji army can use will be further shortened is more conducive to the blockade of the Dionia fleet.

He concealed his negligence and immediately sent a commander to the north to inform the Hasdruba stationed near Segesta, and immediately led his army to rescue Palermos.

After Hasdruba got the order, he quickly led 30,000 soldiers and rushed to Palermos.

But where did he know that after Leotizides led the seventh and eighth regiments to land on the coast quickly, neither directly attacked Palermos nor began to build camps, except that a small number of soldiers were left to monitor the city of Palermois. In addition to the movement of the city of Sorus in the east, the large forces quickly arrived at the entrance to the south and the entrance to the west coast with the pre-prepared city materials. All the soldiers seized the time to dig trenches, traps, and arrange the deer. , build soil barriers, break into wooden stakes, build wooden towers...

Hasdruba did not choose to take the coastal path, because it is not conducive to the passage of the army, and the Dainian fleet controls the coastline. When his army grows up on the coast, the first and last can not be seen, it is easy to suffer Going to the landing of the Dionysian fleet, so he led the army to the mountain.
