v8 Chapter 357： Carthage Naval Battle (3)

For a time, many Carthage citizens changed from audiences to participants in this war, which caused all the people on the coast to pay attention to this war.

The Third Fleet chased the Carthage fleet very closely, which made Midolades satisfied. He knew about the Port of Carthage. Its military port was located inside the commercial port. The two ports were joined together in the middle. It is separated by a water gate, and the outer commercial port also has a water gate. Its width cannot allow so many warships to flow in at the same time. The Carthage fleet must slow down in order to enter the port, which gives the third The fleet had a great opportunity to reinvent them.

"General, the Carthage fleet did not turn, and they continued to retreat east!" Midolades's shout did not surprise him, as he had turned his head to see his ship passing through the port of Carthage. This shows that the commander-in-chief of the Carthage fleet also realized that there was a huge risk of retreating into the port of Carthage at this time, so he gave up the entry and continued to escape.

Midolades lowered his face, and he suddenly thought: If the Carthage fleet continued to retreat like this, the previous efforts of the Third Fleet would probably be utterly defeated, because the coast of Africa to the east is mostly an alliance of Carthage. The Taiji Fleet may find opportunities to hide in the ports of the Allies at any time, and the Third Fleet cannot chase to the end. At dusk, it must return to the base, because the exhausted crew members need to replenish a lot of food and water ...

"Damn Secrian, what the **** are you doing now!" Midorades thought more and more, and couldn't help yelling.

At this moment, the beaker above his head exclaimed: "Carthage warships! There are dozens of Carthage warships coming out of the port!"

Midolades was shocked, and instantly understood that the Carthage fleet was not to retreat at all, but to lure the Third Fleet to the port, and in turn pinch the Third Fleet.

At this emergency, he had no time to regret that he had lost his vigilance because of his eagerness to work, nor had he had time to think about how many more ships of the Carthage fleet would come out (in fact, the scene near Erics After the naval raid, the shipyards of the Carthage and Phoenician allies tried their best, processed and replenished, and added dozens of new warships. He decisively issued the order: "Immediately sound the bugle and form a round array of defense ! "

At this point, many Dionysian warships already knew that an enemy ship was coming from behind, and the crew was not too panic. After seeing the flag from the flagship, they began to line up in an orderly manner, because whether it was against Mido As for Rudds and the Third Fleet, they did not encounter such a similar situation in the battle of Sardinia, and the situation was even more dangerous. Both the captain and the crew had experience. Fortunately, Midolades is cautious and keeps the entire fleet basically in lineup, so it is easier to convert to a round array.

When the Carthage ship in the harbor attacked, Morbar also ordered the Carthage fleet to launch an attack.

The retreating Carthage warships turned their bows and started to charge the Dionysian warships.

Dionia's Third Fleet is in a dangerous situation of pinching on both sides.

As this battle happened in front of the port, the Carthage elders on the breakwater saw more clearly. They could see that the Dionya fleet was working hard to retreat and wanted to shrink into a group. The attack of the Carthage fleet was as fast as the epicenter of the bones, making the Theonian warships exhausted, and even some of the last enemy ships were caught up by the Carthage warships, quickly entangled, and then were entangled. Another Carthage battleship that came later hit (in fact, these Dionysian crow battleships volunteered to sacrifice themselves and act as a blocking task in order to ensure the smooth formation of the entire fleet) ...

Now, the Carthage fleet not only has the upper hand in the number of warships, but also takes the initiative of the battlefield. Because they are fighting at their doorsteps, the morale of the crew is not weaker than the other.

Dionian Fleet, although resisting tenaciousness, is completely surrounded.

The elders were worried and laughed, and even Essaruba praised loudly: "It is indeed Morbar, and it seems that he will win another naval battle! And the results are far better than the last!"

"Yeah, with this victory, the Dionians will never dare to be so mad again during peace talks." Taipanlacco responded immediately.

"With this victory, we still need peace talks? We can increase our support for Morbar and let the Carthage navy regain its advantage at sea!" Pretakuba retorted excitedly.

"We have to face reality. Even if we wipe out this fleet of Dionia, Dionia has more warships than us, and peace talks are the best choice!" Retorted.

Uh ...

The two sides started a debate on the wall again.

"Masters, don't be too happy, this Dionia fleet is not so easy to be defeated!" Anobas said with a sneer.

"People who almost lost our fleet should not be jealous of Morbar's merit, and don't want to see the Navy win." A Magonid sentiment sneered loudly, causing a lot of anger.

"It seems that the last time the punishment for you was too light, the Senate should restart your interrogation!" Another veteran looked at him fiercely and suggested loudly that he got a lot of people's responses and scared Anobah. Spears dare not speak again.

"When did the Senate become so timid and unable to listen to different opinions ?!" At this time, Hanno stepped forward and expressed support for Anobas: "This war against Dionia has reached Now, we are completely at a disadvantage, not because some of us are arrogant, think that we can easily defeat Dionia, and arrogantly declare, 'Within one year, the Dionia will be removed from Sicily. Get rid of it! 'What happened ?! We lost Corsica, Sardinia, and even Sicily, and it is difficult to keep it. Now the Dionysians have attacked our door! It is time to listen to different opinions and let Some of our hot-headed people are sober and awake! Annobas, can you tell me what's wrong ?! "

Hanno looked at the people with a majestic look. Out of awe of this powerful figure, no one refuted, and even Pretakuba fell into silence because of reason.

Annobas gave a slight cough, and said softly: "Although Lord Morbara used tricks to deceive the Fleet of Dionysian, he failed to chaos it by the rapid attack of front and back pinches. Onion warships desperately blocked themselves regardless of their own sinking. Their fighting spirit was very tenacious! "Annobas couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't help thinking of the sea battle in Sardinia In fact, at the time, his strategy was relatively successful. In the face of the predicament of back and forth pinch and the small number of warships, the fleet of other city-states had been defeated long ago, but the Dionysian fleet simply killed one. Bloody, defeating defeat is victory.

"You see now that our warships are not continuing to charge forward, but are detouring to both sides, which shows that the Dionysian fleet has formed a round array, so that our warships dare not bravely strike its position"

"So what? The Dionysian fleet is already surrounded by us. We do n’t attack to reduce casualties. The Dionysians do not attack. Is it to wait until the evening to escape easily?" The words made a few seniors laugh.

"Everyone knows that the crew of the warships consume a lot of money because they paddle and paddle for a long time. They need to be supplemented in time. The base is more than a hundred miles away. At night, surrounded by the Carthage fleet, is the exhausted Dionysian crew capable of returning the warship? I'm afraid I can only capture it. "Another A veteran of Magonidism further added.

"We all know that for the Dionysian fleet to stay here can only wait for death. The Dionysians cannot fail to know! I remember ... in the Sardinian naval battle that I commanded It seems that this fleet is in the siege of ours. As a result, they desperately attacked in the end, and finally ... not only broke out of the siege ... but also defeated us ... " When he recalled the past, he was distressed and looked worried: "But this time, they had no hurry to put on a defensive position, as if they had something to rely on. This must arouse our vigilance!"

What are you wary of? Is the reinforcement of the Dionysian Fleet? !! ... Hannor's heart moved.

Anobas had no time to answer, and the bell of "Dang! Dang! Dang!" Suddenly sounded at the port lighthouse not far ahead of them ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Why is this lighthouse bell still ringing? !! "The veteran complained loudly subconsciously, because the Dionian Fleet kept ringing when it appeared before the sea near the port.

"I am afraid there are new enemies!" Annobas responded first, looking nervously at the sea ahead.

Everyone was shocked.

At this time, the tower keeper leaned out of the stone window on the top of the lighthouse and shouted down: "An additional fleet appeared in front of it, there were many black warships!"

Another Dionia fleet! !! ... When the elders heard the news, they suddenly changed their faces and shouted in horror: "Come on! Let's inform Morbar! Let him take the fleet back to the port! ..."

The soldiers at Wuchengtou quickly gathered together and shouted in unison towards the port: "Quickly withdraw and the enemy's reinforcements are coming !!! The enemy's reinforcements are coming !!! ..."

The two warring parties were in front of the port, and the nearby ship crew could faintly hear the bells of the lighthouse and the shouts of the sentries.
