Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 8 Chapter 99: New Carthage military commander

Hanno believes that many neutral veterans are opposed to the command of Martha’s army as the commander of the Carthage army for this reason, but this reason cannot be said to the mouth, because in these years, Ma Ge has repeatedly complained to the Senate, saying The Iberian natives were numerous and fierce, and the army lost too much. He had to expand and asked Carthage to increase the salaries of the soldiers to ensure their morale.

The Hannuo Yuan’s Senate agreed to expand the army, but with the constant “war in the Numibia and the tightness of the national treasury”, it always delayed the payment of salary, but asked him to find a solution.

At that time, Hanno’s gloating thought that even if Margo was not defeated by the Iberian indigenous people, he would also cause mercenary riots because of insufficient money.

As a result, I didn't expect that Marco was actually coming over. Not only did he conquer the vast area of ​​southern Iberia, but his family lived very well. Hanno remembered it and regretted it.

Many elders are not quite sure about the inside story, but it is clear that some veterans who do not belong to these two factions are thoughtful because of Preta Kuba's words.

Seeing this scene, Taipan Laco reluctantly reminded, "Don't forget, the Dionyns have captured many of our citizens. The Sicilian army is also in a difficult situation... continue to fight, only let them The situation has become more difficult, and this is a kind of indifference and irresponsibility to the Carthage citizens!"

"I think that at this time, it is proposed to stop the war and let Dionia concentrate on destroying its strong rivals in the north, Rome and Samona, thus expanding its territory, increasing its population, and making the power of this kingdom stronger again. It is the most irresponsible practice for Carthage! We choose to compromise, not only will Carthage carry the crime of betraying allies, but also miss the opportunity to unite the Allies and jointly attack Dionia, making it difficult. Dealing with Diaonia has become more difficult to deal with! Oklahoma, do you think that Deonia will forgive us for tearing up the agreement and provoking the war because we stopped fighting?! Think of Tarantum! I want Syracuse! At that time, the Dionya, which has stabilized the north, will organize more than 100,000 troops to attack the western Sicily. After occupying it, send the navy to send troops to land in Afrika, attacking it here! base!"

Preta Kuba pointed his finger at the ground and looked around at the crowd. He said, "If you want Carthage to be a free city in the Kingdom of Denia, then send someone to discuss it!"

Preta Kuba’s words suddenly made some noisy venues suddenly fall into silence.

A moment later, O'Reilly said with anger and anger: "I protest! Preta Kuba. This is... This is a malicious filth! What I am asking is only a temporary truce... In order to save us from being captured Citizen!..."

The stuttering words of Oklahoma made Hanno frown. He knew that he could no longer remain silent. He must not let the already troubled one fall into the embarrassing situation of being accused by others, so he stood up.

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

"Whether it is Russia's request for a temporary peace talk with Dionia, or Preta Kuba's insistence on continuing the war, everyone is for the benefit of Carthage, but their views are somewhat different." Hanno The look is serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Carthage is now in a difficult situation. The army is defeated, the citizens are captured, and the territory of Sicily is being invaded by the Dionyrians. We should work together to tide over the difficulties, not in the Here, in order to arguing with private grievances, the interests of the city-states are ignored! I suggest that sending messengers to Sicily and demanding the Redones to redeem our captured citizens is not only asking us to pay a lot of food.

At the same time, although I have had contradictions with Ma Ge in the past, in the face of Carthage’s national interests, personal gains and losses have been counted, since Mr. Preta Kuba strongly recommended Ma Ge as the new army commander, go to the same In the case of Dionya, most of the elders here think that he is the most suitable candidate. I have no objection to this. Therefore, I suggest that the Senate appointed Marge as the new commander of the Carthaginian army and the Dior of Sicily. The Nigerians fought and won the victory for Carthage! ......"

After Hanno finished, the Russian Clifton was stunned, and Preta Kuba was suspicious. The veterans of both sides were surprised. Suddenly, the venue fell into a strange silence.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!..." The applause of Aesaraba broke the silence of the venue, and some of the elders followed the applause. At present, the two major political forces of Carthage can bridge the contradictions and fight against the enemy. This is what any veteran who is worried about the safety of Carthage wants to see, so they don’t hesitate to dedicate their applause to Hanno. I completely forgot that it was because Hanno refused to participate in the war and personally designated Monte Adeno as the commander of the army, which led to a fiasco.

When the applause resounded through the venue, Hanno breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had to make concessions to the Magonid family, he temporarily avoided some of the veterans’ accusations against him and regained the initiative.

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

After winning the battle in Minoa, Leo Tizides easily captured the battalion of Carthage and seized a lot of weights, including of course the mountains of grain, which greatly eased the Dionysian Army. The problem of using food in Sicily. The Dionyrians who chased the squadron occupied Germe, and after enjoying the hot spring bath, in order to prevent the lonely army from being attacked deeply, under his orders, all returned to Minoa.

The next day, Leo Tiddides began to reorganize the troops, treat the wounded, transport the supplies... At the same time, pay close attention to the enemy's movements.

As a result, the information sent back by the spy surprised him that the Carthage defeat did not all huddle in Serinus, most of which retreated to Lili, only a small part of which remained in Serinus, including Remnants of the Carthage Holy Legionnaires.

Leo Tizides immediately realized that this was another favorable fighter. In order to scare away this enemy, he let 4,000 Eighth Corps heavy infantry take the fleet, under the protection of the naval warship, in Serinu. The beach in West of the West landed to cut off the return of the broken soldiers, while leading the troops of 20,000 people to advance west along the road along the sea.

Staying in the city of Sellinus is the sacred corps led by Millefio and some of the Carthage civics. This is not the intention of Monte Adeno.

It turned out that after the fiasco of the Battle of Minoa, most of the Carthage squadron fled to Serinus, and they were exhausted after a night of restlessness. Monta Deno, who was desperate, continued to lead the troops. In the west, Millefio clearly expressed his opposition.

As the son-in-law of Hanno, Millefio felt that this failure would have a great impact on the Hanno faction. If he did not care about the strong retention of his friends, he would abandon his allies and let the Diaonians invade Carthage. The sphere of influence, then he will never end well after returning to Carthage. Besides, there are still many soldiers who are lost in the mountains and need to stay in this city for a while, waiting for their return. In the end, Millefio, the son of Carthage, has his own pride and persistence.

As the failure of this battle reduced the prestige of Monterdano, some of the squadrons were willing to follow Millefio’s leave, and after many persuasion failed, Monte Adno left them with anger and anger. The army of Mibians hurried back to Lili.

Millefio was actually very embarrassed, but when he learned that the Dionys had retired from Germe, they were relieved. Coupled with the rushing troops, the strength of the city of Sellinus reached 3,000, which gave him some strength.

At this moment, Millefio got the news that a thousand people of the Dionysian army landed in the west of Sellinus.

At the same time he was panicked, the tens of thousands of troops that came to Diaonia from the emergency report were starting from Minoa and marching along the seaside road to the west.

Millefio immediately realized that his own Serinus became the first target of the Diaonians.

How to do? Millefio, who had just experienced a fiasco, was caught in a difficult choice, and the enemy had not yet arrived, leading the army to retreat immediately? But before, I had vowed to say to Monte Adeno, to hold on to Serinus, and now I’m slipping away after I’ve hit it. I don’t know what kind of face Monte Nadano would use to ridicule myself; stay behind? With the 3,000 troops in the city, plus the citizens of Sellinus, you may be able to hold on for a few months~www.novelmtl.com~ But some of the team officers under Millefio have expressed their opposition and believe that the soldiers have just experienced a defeat. Morale is low, and the squad is from multiple units. It is difficult to command the battle, let alone the tacit cooperation.

More importantly, one team official pointed out that to hold on to Serinus, there must be sufficient food supply, and the food reserve in the city of Sellinus is not enough. I am afraid I cannot support the army for long-term defensive operations.

It turned out that the army of Carthage attacked the east and took away the food in the city when passing through Celinus. As a result, Minoa fought and all the weights stored in the Carthage camp were seized by the enemy.

Millefio, who was inexperienced and worried about the war, suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake, but it also gave him reasons to return to Lili without being accused.

Just as Milfio assembled troops and prepared to withdraw, the Serenus executives got the news and immediately came to dissuade them.

Millefio had to spend some time to convince them, and finally, under the attack of the Serinus language and tears, he had to give up his efforts and send soldiers to disperse him and prepare to force him out of the city.
