Leotizides said, looking at the city front. The enemy was closely arranged in the city, and there was no obvious gap. He could not see the distribution of troops behind him, but he still seemed very confident: "Since the defense ability of the Syracuse people is weakening, you can tell the captain of the Seventh Legion in person, so that he will not take into account casualties, continue to increase the intensity of the attack, and put greater pressure on the Syracuse defenders!"

"Uh...yes!" Taglu had no choice but to take the order and leave.

Leotizides turned his gaze to the northeast. Although he could not see the location of the Fortress of Yuriarus, he was hoping that Theocasis could lead his troops to repel the enemy's attack. Then perhaps it was when he sent these 3,000 soldiers as reserves to the Fortress of Yuriarus.

He was pondering, a scout came from the south: "Report to the commander, about 40 warships from Syracuse are sailing out of the port and heading towards our camp!"

Leotizides was stunned when he heard this: Are the Syracuse people raiding my camp from the sea?!

He then thought: Could it be that the defensive power of the Syracuse people weakened because they drew their soldiers and raided my rear when I was in a hurry to attack the city?!

Since the camp at Dionia is only four miles away from the city of Syracuse, there are only 200 soldiers stationed in the camp, and there are a large amount of food stored in the camp, so of course it is not to be lost.

However, Leotizides was not nervous. He even hoped that the Syracuses would come to attack the camp so that he could wipe out more of the enemy's vitality. So he sent a messenger to inform the 3,000 soldiers who were raising their energy not far away and let them return to the defense camp, but the marching speed would be slow.

Just as he gave the order, another small team of cavalry rushed from the south. The captain of the guard beside Leotizides led the guards to meet him. Soon he brought a few people back. When the first person saw Leotizides, he immediately shouted: "Commander, I am the subordinate of Lord Serofenice, and I have very important information to report to you!"

Although this person made Leothides feel strange, he couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the name of Senofinis: Serofinis, as the head of the Dionian intelligence department in Sicily, did he provide Leothides with great help whether it was to quell the Sikel rebellion a few years ago or in this war with Carthage.

So, Leotizides suddenly had great expectations in his heart, but he did not show his expression, and remained a little cautious, and said lightly: "I have never seen you, how do you prove it?"

The man quietly took out something the size of a thumb from his arms and handed it to the captain of the guard, then whispered: "Bal Harmon."

Previously, when Leotizides led his army to march west of Sicily, Serofenis could not have been with him and provided information, so he told Leotizides: In western Sicily, as long as someone holds an iron statue of Sleeping God Supinos and can tell the password at that time, he is the intelligence department and must believe the information he provided.

Leotizides met several times in the west, and the information they provided benefited him a lot. This time he went to Syracuse, and Serofenis also gave him some advice and told him the name of the person in charge of the intelligence department in Syracuse.

According to Serofenice, just like the sign of the Legion soldiers is a three-headed dog, the sign of the intelligence department is Sleeping God Shupunos, because the sleeping God can make people fall asleep without any notice and then do whatever they want, which is in line with the style of the intelligence department.

He looked at the iron statue of the sleeping god Shupunos and found that there was a set of "Davs numbers" on its base, which was said to represent the identity of the owner and the area in which he was responsible, and the other party also gave the right password.

Leotizides returned the statue to the other party and asked, "Your name?"

"Artemis, in charge of Syracuse."

All matched! Leotizides looked at him, and his appearance was basically consistent with what Scherofenis described, and then asked: "What important information is it?"

"General Syracuse Hitaks has decided to lead the people of the port area to join the kingdom. He now leads more than 2,000 soldiers following him to control the military port in front and prepare to fight with the troops in Syracuse. For this reason, he sent all warships to dock on the beach not far from our camp, pick up our soldiers into the military port in Syracuse, reinforce them, and then attack the city of Syracuse together..." Artemis finished the incident with excitement.

Leotitzides was shocked: Syracuse was in conflict, some of the Syracuse people surrendered, the military port was opened to the army of Dionys, and soldiers could take their warships into the city of Syracuse... These words surprised Leotitzides, who had always been calm, and couldn't believe it: the great opportunity to attack Syracuse was easily placed in front of him?!

When he was in a state of mood, he heard Artemis say again: "This is General Hittas' nephew, Zamoratis, who played an important role in persuading Hittas to join the kingdom!"

Zamoratis walked forward and looked at the commander Dionia in front of him with a nervous look, wearing a black breastplate and a purple-red crowned helmet, feeling a little excited.

The Syracuses hated Dionys for taking away their glory, but also prompted them to pay more attention to this powerful neighbor. The army of Dionysia, which has attracted the attention of young people in recent years, has attracted the attention of young people. The Dionysian general who has talked the most about in recent years is Leotizides in front of him: he conquered the troublesome Sikels, defeated the Carthage army with less victory, and even led his troops to the west and destroyed the territory controlled by the Carthaginians... In recent months, in the discussions of the Syracuses, the rumored ruthless General Dionysia has surpassed the King of Dionysia who had completely defeated Dionysius and led his destruction.

Zamoratis faced Leothis' sharp gaze, and said nervously and anxiously: "Dear... General Prosous, Syracuse's army will soon... arrive at the military port soon. Our people are not well equipped, most of them are light infantry, and it is difficult to resist their attack, so please... send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll send reinforcements now." Leotizides immediately said.

Artemis was a little stunned. He did not expect Leotizides to agree so simply without thinking, which seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with the rumored image of cautious thinking.

Zamoratis expressed his gratitude happily.

In fact, Leottizides had nothing to hesitate. Carthage's warships were docked to the shore. After the Dionian soldiers boarded the ship, they were equivalent to controlling the entire warship. If this was a conspiracy, thousands of sailors and the entire Syracuse Navy were used as bait, the risks they took were too great. In the current situation of Syracuse, Leottizides did not think that the Syracuse people had the courage and courage, and it was even more difficult to convince their council to implement this plan.

Leotizides decided to let the 3,000 soldiers as reserves take the warships of Syracuse first and land at the military port. At the same time, he also sent people to inform the Eighth Legion, which was resting, to rush to the beach. As the troops of the Second Pole landing army port, the port is a better springboard for attacking the city of Syracuse compared with the far-reaching Fortress of Yuriarus. Since he had made up his mind, he simply sent all his surplus troops there.

……………………………………

After suffering a lot of casualties, the Syracuse army, who attacked Yuriarus Fortress, finally used a wooden wooden block to block the hole. The soldiers roared excitedly and rushed into the hole in a swarm. They wanted to kill all the enemies who invaded the city.

However, as soon as they rushed into the fortress, the soldiers running in the front suddenly stopped, because in front of them was a ditch about three meters wide and two meters deep, which extended to the stone walls on both sides. Opposite the ditch was a dense array of spears arranged by the soldiers of the Dion.

The Syracuse soldiers in front stopped moving forward, but the soldiers behind were constantly pouring in, and immediately pushed the soldiers in front into the ditches. Although there were no sharp wooden thorns buried in the ditches because of the haste, when the Syracuse soldiers in the ditches struggled in panic and wanted to get up, another group of new soldiers pressed on them. Then the next group of soldiers were pushed involuntarily and stepped on their fallen teammates. After finally crossing the ditches, they were greeted by countless cold guns...

The soldiers of the Dionians on the stone wall kept throwing javelins, stones, and even pots downwards.

Screams and moans filled the small fortress. Not long after rushing into the fortress, the soldiers of Syracuse suffered heavy casualties and were soon defeated.

After repelling the enemy from the wall corridor on both sides, the army led by Theocasis defeated the main force of Syracuse attacking from the south. According to the previous plan, he should continue to guard the fortress and wait for the arrival of reinforcements, rather than pursue alone to prevent being surrounded by the enemy. However, the order not long ago brought new news: Dionia's reserve team landed at the port of Syracuse and fought with the people in the port area of ​​Syracuse that had just joined the kingdom.

At the same time, Leotizides issued a new order to him: When the enemy attacking the fortress retreats, there is no need to stay in the fortress anymore and march into the city immediately!
