v8 Chapter 341： Lili's defense response

Liliyu was a military fortress. When it was first established to deal with the strong army of Dionysius, the master of Syracuse, half of the city was occupied by barracks. There were three barracks in the southeast of the city. , Northwest, and southwest. During the period when Lili was just built, there were 30,000 soldiers stationed in the city. After signing a peace agreement with Dionia, the number of soldiers stationed in Lili city decreased year by year, at least only 1,000. After the start of the war, the number of defenders soared to more than 10,000.

After Marco led the army to Sicily, he removed many soldiers from the city. There are about 10,000 troops in the city. Among them, 2,000 are Carthage soldiers, and the other 8,000 are Numibians. Fewer, but their source is mainly the troops that suffered a heavy defeat in the previous battle with Dionysian, low morale, and a large gap in the establishment. Marco replaced them with Lili, hoping that Imisere would restore them. Reorganize, train and restore morale.

米 Imisere faithfully executed this order. Until now, he has done a good job and has some reputation in the garrison. He is now riding to the Southwest Barracks, which is next to the port and houses 2,000 Carthage soldiers.

The port of Carthage is connected to the city and is not separated by internal walls. This makes the transportation and trade of goods in the city more convenient, and it also reflects the confidence of a western Mediterranean power. As a military fortress, Liliyu not only separated the port from the urban area, but also the inner wall not only served as a checkpoint. It was a real city wall, tall and sturdy, and it also had many towers and peripheral walls. No different.

By the time Imisereh arrived at the barracks, the soldiers in the camp had basically assembled, but a few young Carthage generals ran to the playground in a panic, without helmets and incomplete armor.

Imisere was a little dissatisfied, but instead of saying a reprimand, he eagerly asked the officers in charge of the assembly: "What happened in the port ?!"

"Sentinels just came to report and said that the Dionysians were posing as our Carthage fleet, mixed into the port, and are attacking the dock, but they ... it seems that there are not too many people, and they are not wearing armor ..." Said the team official.

Hearing this, Imisere was slightly relaxed. He gave the order: heavy infantry immediately entered the port, destroying the enemy who invaded the dock; light infantry went up to the city, and attacked the enemy and the enemy ship at a long range.

After His Majesty's order was given, he was still a bit uneasy, and sent a commander to inform the other two barracks, so that the soldiers would gather, and then head up to the city for defense.

Even though Dionya's fleet entered the port, Imisere was still confident in the defense of the port, so he had an illusion: Dionysian sent so few troops to attack the port, perhaps just to attract The garrison's attention, and the real offensive is on land?

When all the team members went to execute the order, Imisere then criticized the young generals: "Master Marg doesn't want you, saying that you can only speak big words, and completely lack the ability to lead troops, so You threw it at me, and now it's time to prove your chance, to fight heroically! Fight for the honor of the Carthage nobles! Don't let others despise your family for this! ... "

Several generals said only: Never let the city owner down!

Imisere watched them re-dress their armor with the help of their servants, and some regrets in the heart: they had not been strictly required in the city before, and when they really came to the battle, they found them so uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he obeyed Ma's opinion and promoted those civilians who had combat experience and heroic combat to intermediate team officers, and they usually relied on them for training.

The southwest barracks was built near the gate leading from the port to the city. Imisere soon reached the city head. The sentries had erected burning torches on the battlements, so he could directly overlook the pier: There was already chaos there. Countless awakened people screamed and fled. Many were still naked, and dozens of Dionysian soldiers with leather shields and short swords drove them towards the city gate. Hedgehogs gathered, they desperately knocked on the city gates, begged the guards to open the city gates and let them in ... and on the trestle of the dock, there were also dozens of people who were escorted by Dionysian soldiers and forced They boarded the docked cargo ship ...

"My lord, there are too many people in front of the city gate! If we open the city gate at this time, they all rush in, and the soldiers under the city can't stop it at all, it is likely that these Dionians will be mixed in, together Rush in ... "said a team member worried.

A young Carthage general immediately retorted: "There is nothing to worry about. There are only a few enemies. Even if they are released into the city, they just come to death."

However, Imisere was lost in thought: if the Dionysians were to follow the crowd into the city and flee around in the dark, it would be a bit difficult to kill them, let alone who knows so many people in the port area Did they get involved in Dionia's spy, in case they go to the city to destroy ...

You should know that as a major military town, Lilicheng has very strict control in the city. At first, the city could only live in garrisons, garrison families, officials and their families, as well as blacksmiths, carpenters, artisans and other military auxiliary personnel. In peacetime, due to the prosperity of trade, the aristocracy of Carthage was allowed to purchase and live in the city, but it always had a rule: except for the army and the residents of the city who were stationed in Liliquan, if others did not Obtain permission to enter the city.

It is precisely because Liliyu controls the entry and exit of the city very tightly, and the security in the city is highly guaranteed. Therefore, the protection of some facilities in the city is somewhat lax, such as the heavy camps where military rations are stored. They have all been transported to the Carthage Army Camp, but once it catches fire, Imisere's life will not be better. The trial of the Senate, the question of Margo ...

米 Imisere's hesitation was noticed by another young general and he immediately suggested: "Sir, there are not many enemies, so light infantry can attack in the city."

Imisere was hesitant. After all, he was the owner of Lili 利 City, not only to destroy the enemy, but also to manage the entire city. However, there are few Dionias, and they are mixed with the people. Now it is night, and the arrows and javelins fall. The more casualties will only be Lili people, and it will lead to greater confusion. There have been more casualties, and the aftermath will be troublesome, and it will also affect the operation of the entire port.

"Go and inform General Ragnaca of the Northwest Barracks, and let him lead the troops here immediately, and then open the gates and attack the Dionians in the port!" After much thought, Imisere finally issued Ordered that he believed that the 4,000 soldiers in the Northwest Barracks, plus 1,000 soldiers below the city, were enough to break through the congested city gate.

"Master, it's too late, when the Ragnaca rushes with the army, the people in the port will die more and more!" The young general warned anxiously.

Imisere gave him an impatient glance, and in his judgment: if the Dionysians slashed, the people would flee, and the problem of clogging the city gates would be solved, and the Dionysian tricks would be solved. Will go bankrupt, so they cannot do that.

So he said coldly, "Remember, I am the owner of this city!"

Having said that, Imisere ignored the young Carthage generals, but instead ordered the light infantry officers: "Your task now is to use rockets to attack Dionysian ships in the port. ! "

大 "Sir, Dionia's ship is too far away and has exceeded our range!"

At this time, Imisere turned his gaze into the bay. Sure enough, he saw that the ships on the sea were leaning to the side of the natural breakwater. The wall from this side to the natural breakwater was about 300 meters. The archer's range cannot reach that far more than 10 meters above the sea, so he has to rely on long-range attacks on the opposite wall and the embankment.

Imisere's doubts followed: Why were there no torches on the opposite wall? What are the soldiers in the barracks opposite? !!

Imisere's gaze was directed obliquely forward, and he was standing farther away from the small barracks on the natural breakwater. If there were not a few torches quickly shaking like candlelight, I am afraid that the position of the barracks would not be found. The shout was too loud ~ www.novelhall.com ~ completely masked the murmurs of murmurs and screams from the small barracks on the other side, coupled with the fact that Imisere never thought that the enemy would take a boat to land impossible. He landed on the natural breakwater, so he would not have thought that the small barracks opposite had already been attacked. He now thought that the soldiers ran out of the barracks slowly because of snooze.

Because the soldiers in the small barracks were dispatched by the southwest barracks, the team members at the city head saw Imisere's face and did not dare to defend them. Besides, they also just came to the city and did not know much about the situation.

Imisere no longer criticized, because his attention was completely attracted to the lighthouse to the west. He has been in Lili for several years. He has been relatively familiar with "the way the tower guards on the lighthouse light up the fuel lamps at night and notify the port officials of the situation of foreign ships through unique shaking", but this situation has never been seen before: There was another flame standing high beside the burning lighthouse flame.

"What does this mean?" He asked with his finger there.

No one can answer.

He began to feel uneasy, and asked, "Is the iron chain of the port water gate down?"

No one was able to answer, because only the lighthouse staff needed to open and close the water gate. At night, there were no sentries in the tower on the artificial breakwater.
