v8 Chapter 343： War stalemate

The subsequent warships also docked one after the other and lowered the suspension bridge. A team of Dionysian soldiers boarded the embankment and joined the battle.

Other warships directly bypassed Stefakas's ship and landed on the bank ahead, in an attempt to let the legionnaires surround the enemy from behind.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of Dionian soldiers appeared on the natural breakwater, and many warships were leaning towards the bank one after another, while Cartha slowly relied on the ropes. There were only dozens of base soldiers, and they were still encircled.

Seeing this scene on the city wall, Ragnaca was shocked, realizing that he could not stop the Dionysians from landing on the embankment, and immediately stopped the soldiers from continuing down the city, and decided to hold the wall of the natural breakwater first.

Then, he saw through the fire on the city wall: The Dionysian soldiers who came up later formed a loose queue according to the city wall in front of the lighthouse, and then each made a throwing action, and numerous javelins flew up the city head. , And then screamed again and again.

Ragnaca was panicked and remembered that the heavy infantry of Dionia could throw javelins. He had to change his mind again and let the troops quickly exit the wall, and concentrated his forces to guard the entrance of the natural breakwater-the gate of the tower.

The Carthaginians retreated, and the mountain reconnaissance team members who were struggling to support them were finally relieved. They had no time to mourn for their dead comrades. Instead, they took the time to heal the wounded comrades, clean up the corpse in front of the entrance to the lighthouse, and then watched from the tower Legionnaire soldiers rushed to the city continuously.

One player squeezed the arrow shaft exposed outside his arm, and the other pointed his arrow with a sharp dagger. Terentus gritted his teeth and nodded at him.

A cold light flashed, and the entire arrow shaft was cut off. Tyrentus breathed a sigh of relief, and gently threw the left hand, which was painful. Although the arrow tip was still in his arm, at least it was not too troublesome to move.

"Terrentus!" There were heavy footsteps behind him, and after turning around to see the incoming person, he hurried out a military salute: "Captain of the Matonis!"

"Congratulations on your great contribution to the kingdom again! Next, the offensive task will be undertaken by our Second Army. You and your men will take care of your injuries here, and the medical camp will soon come to treat you." Ma Tony looked at the arrow injury on his arm and said with concern.

"Yes!" Terentus replied respectfully, he thought for a while, and reminded: "Head of the Matonis, the tower door on the wall walkway ahead is more difficult to attack than described by the Carthage captives, Long-range attacks on the towers on both sides pose a great threat to the soldiers, so be careful! "

"It ’s hard to attack, we have to attack, we are very tight now!" After finishing this sentence, Matonis strode up to the city.

Terentus understood the meaning of what Matonis said: Lilith was too important to the Carthage army, and the offensive of the Dionysian army was bound to alarm the Carthage military commander outside Serinus. My brother, if the city cannot be captured as soon as possible, Carthage's reinforcements will surely come from Serinus after dawn, and the night raid will fail.

Thinking of this, Terentus couldn't wait, keeping up with the pace of Matonis, wanting to watch the Second Army conquer the tower door with his own eyes.

Just after Ragnaca led the Carthage soldiers to retreat to the tower door, Imisere rushed to see him and asked, "Why didn't you retreat before long ?!" Take control of the lighthouse! Ragnaca, you are afraid of fighting, abandoning the breakwater, in case Lili misses, you are not afraid to be interrogated by the Senate and crucified ?! "

"Sir, the Magonids regard honor as life, and they will never be greedy for fear of death!" Ragnaka responded positively: "The reason I ordered the army to retreat is because of Theonian who landed on the embankment. There are too many people, and fighting there is very unfavorable to us. In the short battle just now, we lost nearly 200 soldiers. If our troops lose too much on the breakwater, there will still be enough troops to defend the entire city. No! So it's better to step back and defend here, no matter how many people are brought in by the Dionysian warship, as long as we stick to tomorrow, Master Marc led the army, we will win! "

Ragnaca's words reminded Imisere, who asked, "How many soldiers are there in Dionia?"

"Nearly 10,000 people!" Ragnaca said as much as possible.

Imisere was startled, thought for a moment, and said decisively: "I will give you the entire command of the Liliyu garrison. You must resist the attacks of the Dionysians and stand by Master Margo. Until now! "

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to keep Lili 俾!" Ragnaca immediately stated.

As soon as his voice fell, the garrison in the artificial breakwater tower sent another person and shouted eagerly: "Reporter, there are a large number of Dionia warships coming out of the port!"

"What ?! Are the Dionysians really planning to concentrate their forces on the port to break through Lily ?!" Imisere panicked.

It wasn't just him, the team members and soldiers around him felt nervous.

Ragnaca smiled and said with a confident smile: "Dionians came by boat, they could not carry large siege equipment, and the port area was narrow. Even if there were more soldiers, they could not perform. You guys take a good look. We have such a tall and sturdy city wall and perfect defense facilities. Let alone stand for one day and one month, it is difficult for them to burst into the city from the port. "

"Furthermore, it was a good thing that the Dionysians attacked from the port. We all know that during this time, Master Ma was bent on a decisive battle with the Dionysians, but the Dionysians crouched in the cities and camps. Here, they have always been unable to avoid the battle, and now they have finally arrived. This has given Master Ma the opportunity to lead the army to destroy them, and also has given us the opportunity to contribute. This battle may determine our victory in Carthage in Sicily. ! "

Ragnaca's words inspired the confidence of the people around, and also made Imisere feel that he had made the right decision.

"General, here is the Dionysian!" The team official on the tower shouted.

"You, immediately lead 500 soldiers to carry a large stone and block the door of this tower to me completely!"

"You, lead the four teams of soldiers to collect a large amount of asphalt, wood, stones, and take them to the tower."

"You, let your archers line up behind the gate of this tower, ready to shoot!"

Uh ...

At the time of Ragnaca's detailed layout, a unit of the Dionysian Second Army approached the tower door slowly in a tortoise formation on the wall aisle, and countless arrows passed around the tower door like raindrops. Hitting the shield cannot hurt it.

It was the javelin thrown hard by the Carthaginian light infantry on the tower that slammed on the long shield, and even sparks splattered in the night. A few javelins penetrated the long shield, accompanied by the murmuring of the legionnaire soldiers. But with the support of Dionysian soldiers, the integrity of the entire formation remained.

After approaching the tower door, and after another round of javelin throws, the Captain of Dionia shouted: "Withdraw the shield and throw to the left!"

Speaking late and then, the Legionnaires soldiers withdrew their long shields in their left hands and flew out of the javelins already held in their right hands. Dozens of javelins flew to the left tower, and they were looking out of the tower and throwing Carthage light down. The infantry was caught off guard and screamed again and again, and some even fell out of the tower and hit the ground of the port.

After Dionysian threw the javelin at the left tower, he quickly threw a second javelin at the right tower without seeing the results. The javelin attack of the Carthage light infantry on the right tower also came at the same time. The short distance and the shield protection were too late, and six soldiers in the Dionysian Corps immediately shot down.

"Hold the shield and retreat!" The captain ordered quickly.

Dionian soldiers pulled back their shield while dragging their wounded comrades.

At this time, several Carthage soldiers appeared on the left tower again, and they threw the clay pots in their hands to the retreating Dionysian soldiers.

The pot was broken and the liquid splashed.

The faces of Dionysian soldiers all changed: "It's asphalt! Retreat, retreat!"

在 As the Dionysian soldiers hurriedly backed off, several burning torches fell near the clay pots, and a wall of fire was immediately lit. Several Dionysian soldiers falling behind became firemen ...

Standing in the distance, Matonis watched the attack of the unit, and he felt anxious about it. He shouted, "Go and tell Trithias (Captain of the 2nd Light Infantry) immediately. He led the archer to the corner of that wall ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and attacked the enemies on those two towers! And ... Hurry up to me!

"Head of the army, the soldiers have carried the cypress into the lighthouse, but the stairs are too narrow, and it is difficult to carry them up ... they are trying to find a way," the deputy explained.

"I don't care what method they use, what I want is as soon as possible! Listen clearly, it is to transport the cypress to the city as soon as possible! If it is delayed, don't blame my military punishment!" Mattoni shouted anxiously.

"I'm going to inform them now!" The lieutenant also felt the urgency of the situation, turned to run into the tower, and was stopped by Matonis: "You also need to notify the engineering camp to let them speed up and assemble the ballista. Then I came to the city, and I used them to attack those two towers! "

"Yes!"

Hey ... ………………………………

The warships of the Third Fleet entered the port of Liliyu, and Midolades breathed out. It is important to know that the Third Fleet had just arrived in the western waters of Sicily and was not familiar with the sea conditions here. From Palermo to There are many islands on the Lily route, and it is sailing at night. Midolades is afraid that the warships will sink and sink, so not only the entire fleet sails slowly, but each warship is equipped with Palermos's The old sailor, who was responsible for navigating the way, was able to successfully reach Liliyu Port, and he was finally at ease.
