Chapter 363: The decisive battle of Serinus (4)

At this time, Mago's mind was filled with the idea of ​​"going out to fight to defeat King Dionia". He did not care about the news of "Selinus defenders attacking", but instead sent a messenger to inform Hasdruba to repel Selinus' defenders as soon as possible, and then rushed to go out to fight with him.

At the same time, he sent a messenger to inform Sticamo and Kisgo to prepare.

The camp was restored to stability, and the Deonian defenders were not afraid of it. Instead, it was more conducive to capturing the port. When the camp was in preparation for combat... Everything was deflecting towards the favorable direction of Carthage.

Ma Ge stood on the city wall, clutching stone bricks with his hands, staring at the two dazzling flags of the Dionian army outside the camp, like a tiger lurking in the grass and about to eat.

However, the anxious shouts broke his fantasy: "Mr. Mago! Mago! It's not good! The army of Dionia attacking from the port is very large and the attack is fierce. Our army in the city has begun to retreat!"

"What?!" Ma Ge, Pomirka and the followers around were shocked.

"What the hell is Hasdruba doing!" Ma Ge roared irritably.

"Maggie... No wonder there may be less than 20,000 enemies outside the camp. They may have hidden their main force in the port of Selinus!" Pomirka suddenly realized.

Of course, Ma Ge also understood: Since Dionia had collusion with the Numibians, taking advantage of the Numibian rebellion and the camp was in turmoil, the Dionian army wanted to take advantage of the situation and attacked from outside, because the Carthage camp was protected by the city walls and was ambushed in the port. Taking advantage of the fatigue of the Carthage attack army, it was easier to launch a counterattack!

At this time, Ma Ge had no time to reflect on his negligence, and the situation took a sharp turn. He immediately realized that Hasdruba's army was defeated by a strong enemy's surprise attack. Now that the troops in the camp are dispersed, it is probably too late to go to the city of Selinnus to rescue, so he can only concentrate his efforts to defend the Carthage camp!

He made up his mind and gave a decisive order: "Immediately inform Kisg and Stikamo, and let them lead the army to defend the walls on the inside of the camp, and prevent the Dionian army from attacking the camp, and guide--"

Before Brother Ma finished speaking, there was a deafening sound of fighting in the south of the camp.

Everyone changed their qualities again.

It turned out that the Carthage army was defeated too quickly, and the Dionys army was also pursuing very rapidly. When the Carthage commanded the soldiers to return to the camp and report the news to Mago, the Carthage army had been driven out of the city and was running towards the Carthage camp, which was only more than one mile away from the city of Selinus. The soldiers of the Dionys Legion chased after him.

In order to capture the city of Selinus, Mago had worked hard to build and connected to the outer wall of Selinus, which was now convenient for the Dionysian army. Some legion soldiers rushed over along the dionysian wall. Since the Carthaginian army had advanced the offensive line to the inner wall of Selinus, there was no defense force on the inner wall of the camp, which allowed the Dionysian army to easily rush into the Carthaginian camp from multiple directions.

The Carthage defeated and the Dionian army quickly messed up the entire camp.

Brother Ma stood on the city wall and looked at the soldiers running around in the camp. The most common thing he heard was: "Help! Run away quickly! We are defeated!"

The defeat was as if Maggie had completely lost control of the Carthaginian army and was at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, he saw that there was an army in a relatively complete formation and rushed from the south. The general in charge was Kisgo. He rushed to the city wall and shouted: "Maggie, all the Numibians have rebelled! The situation is very critical. I will lead troops to escort you, let's... escape from the camp quickly!"

The Numibian camps were mainly in the southeast of the Carthage camp, not far from the city wall where Mago was located. Before, Kisgo led his army to take charge, and it was not too much of an accident that he could arrive in time. However, in such a chaotic situation, it was not easy to ensure that the army under his command was basically intact.

Ma Ge stood on the city wall, looking around the huge camp where the defeated soldiers ran and cried and screamed endlessly. He remembered his ambitious oath a few months ago and led a 100,000 army to land in Sicily. In the blink of an eye, it was all gone.

Why did it suddenly become like this?...Ma Ge was very unwilling to accept it, and finally his eyes fell on the army of the Dionian outside the camp. The flag with golden light was so dazzling. A thought suddenly appeared in his heart. He shouted: "Kisgo, lead your troops and follow me out of the camp!"

The Carthage camp was filled with dust and fog, and the sky was hustle and bustle. Soldiers continued to escape from the camp. The army of Dionia outside the camp naturally noticed it. Obviously, the plan formulated in advance had been successful. Davers and the others were very excited, so Davers issued an order: "The army accelerated forward, approached the camp gate in the eastern part of the camp, and blocked the fleeing defeated soldiers."

This time Thormid raised no objection.

But not long after, he loudly reminded: "Your Majesty, these Carthage soldiers who had just left the camp seem to be preparing to attack us!"

Of course, Dafos also discovered this abnormal situation: the Carthage soldiers who had just flown out of the camp were numerous, and they did not flee in a hurry like other soldiers, but gathered together and headed towards them, and actually began to line up!

"Go and call Sextus!" Not long after Davers finished speaking, Sextus, the captain of the Roman Preparatory Brigade, rushed to him.

"Sextus, aren't you complaining that you didn't let the Roman brigade participate in this battle? Now the opportunity is here." Davers pointed to the front and said seriously: "Did you see it? The Carthaginians are ready to attack us and want to make up for the failure of their camp through victory. You should be clear that except for the Roman brigade and cavalry, everyone in this army is charged, so it seems that there are more people on the other side than us, but I hope that the Roman brigade will attack the enemy on the opposite side and completely crush their fantasies. Can it be done?"

After hearing this, Sextus saluted strongly and said confidently: "Don't worry, your Majesty, let this battle be handed over to our Roman Preparatory Team!"

Davers immediately saluted the Israeli army and said, "Tell your brothers that I will follow them, and my safety depends on their victory!"

Sextus felt a great responsibility at this time. He looked at Davers's firm expression, swallowed the words he wanted to persuade, and turned around and ran towards his brigade.

At the same time, the three cavalry commanders, Ledes, Kuchius and Asitimis, were also called to arrive.

Davers looked at them and said in a deep voice: "I know that the cavalry has not played much role in the battle with the Carthaginians so far. The next battle may be the last battle in Sicily. I hope you can regain the reputation of the Dionian cavalry!"

The three legion commanders looked at each other, and their fighting spirit was burning in their eyes.

Ledes said excitedly: "Your Majesty, just give orders, we will definitely let the Carthaginians see the power of the Dionian cavalry!"

"Very good! The First Cavalry Legion is located on the left wing of the Roman Preparatory Brigade, the Second and Third Cavalry Legion are located on the right wing. After the attack trumpet sounded, it immediately launched a frontal attack on the Carthaginian front! After defeating the enemy, continue to pursue all the defeated soldiers who escaped from the Carthaginian camp!"

"yes!!"

After Rides and the others left, Davers immediately instructed Thormeed: "Send people to inform the Numibian cavalry and ask them to come and attack the side of the Carthaginian army immediately."

"Your Majesty, those Numibian cavalry may not necessarily obey the orders." Thormid said with some concern.

Davers smiled slightly and said confidently: "The reason why the Numibian cavalry is willing to cooperate with us in carrying out today's combat plan is because they know that the Carthage fleet is almost wiped out. Now that the Carthage army is about to be destroyed, these smart fictionalists will make the right choice!"

As they got closer and closer to the camp of Carthage, the Roman reserve brigade in front of the army had gradually converted into a checkerboard array as they were marching. In the past, they practiced this set of tactics very skillfully. The tactics of the Dionian Legion were roughly the same as it was, but they were more detailed and complicated. However, after repeated exercises during this period, they had mastered it.

Sextus rode to the front of the array, raised his hands high, attracted the attention of the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, after you became citizens of the Kingdom of Dionia like me, you have seen the strength and prosperity of the Kingdom and gained land and rights. We are all very glad that we made the right choice, but we also have shortcomings. Many citizens of Dionia regard us with contempt, because we were once defeated and did not make any outstanding contributions to this powerful kingdom, but enjoyed the same rights as them!

Now the opportunity has come, this time we will become the main force of the battle, fight against the Carthaginians in front, take out all your strength and courage, defeat them, and use victory to tell the other citizens of the kingdom that we Romans are not weak!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!..." The highly motivated Roman soldier hit the long shield with his short sword and made a deafening roar.

At this time, the sound of the bugle sounded, Sextus turned his horse's head and waved his hand forward: "Go forward!"

…………………………………

Outside the camp of Carthage, Marco, the military commander of the Carthage, was also shouting loudly to the anxious soldiers to boost their morale: "Citizens of Carthage and Phoenician Allies, we have failed in this war with Dionia, and our fleet has been destroyed. We are trapped in Sicily, and will become prisoners of the Dionians and become their slaves. We will work to death in the dark mines, and our homeland in Afilga will be immediately invaded by the Dionians. Are we willing to bear the tragic fate that the lowly Dionians want to impose on us?!"

The soldiers raised their heads one by one, and their originally depressed eyes were now focused on Ma Ge.
