The soldiers tugged in their hands tightly and rekindled their desire to fight.

"Maggie, the Dionians have accelerated their pace and seem to be ready to attack us first!" Kisgo rushed over and reminded.

"It's just right, let the soldiers move forward too!" After saying that, Ma Ge turned over and dismounted and slapped the horse's buttocks hard.

The war horse neighed and ran away.

Then Ma Ge said to the guard behind him, "Get a shield and a spear to me."

Kisgo hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Sir, you should command from behind, not-"

Ma Ge interrupted him loudly: "Stop talking, I will fight with the soldiers today!"

At this moment, the people around were also deeply moved. Pomirka, the adjutant, and the young Carthaginian nobles who were once ridiculed as playboys by Ma Ge also dismounted, picked up shield spears, and stood beside Ma Ge.

Brother Ma looked at them, smiled, and said proudly: "Let us fight for Carthage together today!"

More than 6,000 Phoenician soldiers were hurriedly taken out of the camp by Kisgo. In addition, Mago learned that the army of Dionys appeared outside the camp, and urgently asked Sticamo to draw 4,000 Carthaginian militias, and were attacked by the defeated soldiers. At this time, more than 3,000 people were following Mago... The strength of the Carthaginian side was close to 10,000, which seemed to be quite different from the number of Dionys' army opposite. Moreover, the huge cavalry that Davers had always feared before now only had more than 100 cavalry. Due to the single army, the array speed was very fast.

Moreover, since generals such as Mago, Pomirka, Kisgo and others were all holding shields and walking at the forefront of the formation, the soldiers naturally followed them firmly and striding forward. The frightened defeated soldiers ran behind them and shouted, which could not shake their fighting spirit for the time being.

On the side of Dionia, the Roman reserve brigade is located in the middle road, with Bottenthia and Samonet reinforcements at the back of both wings, and cavalry. Davers led more than 200 palace guards to follow the rear of the center of the army. The nearly 10,000 soldiers temporarily formed were divided equally into two parts, located behind the two wings of cavalry, but 200 meters apart.

After the attack trumpet was sounded, all the soldiers accelerated, especially the cavalry on both wings. They quickly approached the Carthage army, and hundreds of short javelins flew into the Carthage formation, screaming.

There are only a small number of light infantry in this Carthage army and cannot attack the Dionian cavalry at a long range. The heavy infantry can only move forward quickly, trying to get closer to the enemy and fight in close combat.

But the trained Dionian cavalry quickly turned their horses and ran back to get a distance again and threw the javelin.

The heavy infantry running was unable to protect themselves well, and many were hit by the javelin, which forced them to slow down their pace of progress and hide behind the round shield.

In this way, only the unattacked Carthage army was still the middle of the unstoppable strode forward.

"Jaberlin preparation!" the team officials shouted loudly.

This is the first time the soldiers of the Roman Preparatory Brigade threw javelins in actual combat, but they are not unfamiliar at all.

The javelin rain that covered the sky and the sun hit, and Ma Ge had no time to shout: "Be careful of defense!" and hurriedly hid himself behind the round shield.

Then he heard a shrill scream beside him, and his adjutant fell on the grass.

Ma Ge's heart was burning with anger. He raised his spear and turned around and shouted, "Follow me and go forward!"

He raised his round shield and charged forward.

The soldiers roared and followed closely behind.

Seeing that the time was no longer enough to throw the second round of javelin, the soldiers of the Roman Preparatory Brigade immediately launched a charge.

Soon, the two sides collided. One side fought for survival, the other side fought for honor, and both sides fought for all their might from the beginning, and the battle was very fierce.

A few minutes later, the Dionian cavalry threw the javelin and rushed outward. The Carthaginian army on both wings left hundreds of wounded and wailing soldiers, resumed their speed of advance, and soon fought with the Dionian army coming up.

Most of these people who temporarily became soldiers of the Dionian were composed of prepared citizens or free citizens who were eager to become citizens of the Dionian. Although they lacked military training and combat skills of heavy infantry, their desire for victory was not weaker than that of Roman soldiers. Because as long as they made meritorious and received awards, they would take a big step away from becoming real citizens of the Dionian Kingdom. Therefore, their battle was very heroic, and the number of people was large. The Carthaginian soldiers on both wings had just been hit by the cavalry javelin, and their injuries were quite serious and their morale had declined. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the Dionian recruits actually gained some advantage.

At this time, the Dionian cavalry quickly adjusted their formation and assisted the recruits to launch direct attacks on the two wings.

They lined up in long single formations, straightened their spears, speeded up their horses, and flew past the rear of the two wings of Carthage. When the enemy blocked the spears with a round shield, the cavalry would quickly loosen the spear in their hands, and at the same time, with the other hand tightened the horse's neck to prevent the recoil from causing the horse to fall.

Even if the Carthage soldiers used a round shield to block the spear sprint of the Dionian cavalry, the powerful momentum would make him stagger, his arms were sore, and he could not even grasp the round shield. The second spear that followed could easily stab his body...

The attacks of the Dernian cavalry continued, just like peeling an apple with a dagger. It didn't look fierce, but it actually had a great lethality.

As time passed, the array of Carthage's wings, which had been in a tough battle, was shaking, and the morale of the soldiers dropped sharply, and they began to flee.

The middle lane is still maintaining a balanced power.

After fighting until now, Mago felt exhausted. He panted and looked at the enemy opposite. His appearances that were different from those of the Greeks made him feel familiar and confused and angry: Romans? They turned out to be Romans! Carthage was involved in this war in order to help Rome. However, these former allies were blocking here at this time and wanted to take away his only hope of victory. Did they forget that it was Dionia who destroyed Rome! How could they become Dionia's lackeys!

Ma Ge roared angrily, gathered his strength again, and used a round shield to hit the spear forward desperately, then stabbed the spear out, hitting the enemy's chest. Unexpectedly, it broke with a "click" and Ma Ge immediately threw himself forward.

"Master Ma Ge!" The soldiers on both sides tried their best to rescue him from the enemy's spear.

Ma Ge struggled to stand up. Due to the loss of force, his arms were sore and his vision was blurred.

He raised his head in difficulty: the army flag of the Dionys held high in the rear of the enemy is so dazzling and so close to him! Why? Why are we so desperate? But we can't break the Roman array and kill King Dionys! If my Iberian army is here, it will be fine! We can definitely catch the damn Dionys!...

At this time, a commotion suddenly appeared behind Ma Ge, and it was expanding rapidly. The panic shouts of soldiers came into his ears: "Oh my God, it's the Numibian cavalry!"

He was in a daze and subconsciously turned around, and saw a rain of arrows flying in the sky, and then a severe pain came from his cheek...

………………………………………………………………………………

There were defeated soldiers everywhere outside the Carthage camp. The soldiers of the Dionian Legion were chasing behind them. In addition, the back and forth of thousands of cavalrymen not only made these defeated soldiers unable to gather together again, but also threatened the Dionian army, which was scattered due to the pursuit, and also caused many Carthage soldiers to surrender because they had no hope of escaping.

This time, Davers did not let the army chase after victory. When time entered dusk, he quickly issued an order: to withdraw his troops and return to the city.

In the battle of Selinnus on this day, the Dionian army joined forces with the Numibian cavalry to deliberately retreat in the city, attracting the main force of the Carthaginian army to continue attacking, and then cooperated inside and outside to launch a fierce counterattack. With just the price of more than 2,000 casualties, the Carthaginian army was completely defeated.

On the Carthage side, Numibian soldiers and Numibian troops rebelled more than 30,000 people one after another. The remaining troops experienced siege and two battles, with more than 6,000 casualties. Nearly 8,000 were captured during the escape. The remaining A, B and C either fled west into Mazara City or north into Segesta. A small number of soldiers fled in the wrong direction in panic. They were hungry and cold in the mountains to the east for one night. On the second day, they took the initiative to return to Selinnus City and requested the Dionian army to take in.

At dusk, Davers led the palace guards to Selinus City, and he decided to hold a banquet with a rare decision.

Due to a long siege, the two sides fought repeatedly in the city, resulting in ruins. The banquet was held in the temporary residence where the commander of the Sicily fleet lived in the port area.

After intense preparations, by the evening, the food and wine had been set on the dining table. The commanders of the various legions and two staff officers arrived one after another. As a result, they were surprised to find that the specific location of the banquet was not in the hall, but in the courtyard after entering the door, there were dozens of dining tables in this relatively spacious open space, and their king sat at the center of the dining table, which made them unable to sit as usual, and could only sit around Davers under the guidance of Martius.

Davers did not order the seat to begin immediately, but asked about the battle process and the casualties of the army.

Except for the first and second legions that caused a bit of casualties when they first defended against the fierce attack of the Carthage army by the inner city walls, the other legions basically suffered minor casualties, but were captured very large. In addition to capturing nearly 10,000 soldiers, they also took down the supplies camps of the Carthage camp intact. The pile of food and huge amount of weapons made the baggage officers who went to count them laughed from ear to ear, not to mention that they also captured more than 2,000 war horses... Therefore, each legion commander looked relaxed and chatted and laughed.
