Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Hurry up and send someone to check! Imisere's heart was even more disturbed, and he ordered loudly: Send another 300 light infantry, and immediately rush to the opposite city head for me.

Yes, my lord!

……………………………………

At the same time that Terentus led ten mountain scouts to the lighthouse, the other team members rushed to the small army camp not far from the temple, and happened to bump into the Carthaginian team officer who was out of the camp to check the situation.

In the more than 10 years since Lilibe was built, the alarm bell at night has never sounded, and the awakened Carthaginian officer even thought it was a mistake by the tower guard, so he was stabbed unsuspectingly.

When more and more mountain scouts rushed into the barracks, some Carthaginian soldiers were wearing armor, some just got up, and some were even sleeping... So it became a massacre.

After the team members easily eliminated these Carthaginian soldiers, they immediately ran to the lighthouse.

The mountain reconnaissance team left by Davos in Catane was originally 500 people. During the sneak attack on Syracuse, more than 100 people were injured or killed, so 360 people participated in this operation, of which 160 were The harbour area is being disrupted, and the remaining 200 people are climbing the embankment one after another, and eventually they will all enter the lighthouse.

Terentus saw more and more comrades gathered around him in the tower, and he couldn't help but feel proud: he led the mountain reconnaissance brigade through the Taibo River, sneaked into the sewers, and made an important contribution to the final capture of the city of Rome; During the sneak attack on Casslera, the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade served as the vanguard, and he took the lead in capturing the city head; in the siege of Syracuse, he led his team to capture the fortress of Yuriarus first, in order to capture the The whole city has opened the door to victory; now occupying the port lighthouse and opening the water gate has already completed the task, but he is a little dissatisfied.

Brothers, follow me to take down the checkpoint on the city wall in front and win even more! Terentus raised his arms and the team members responded in unison.

He left 10 team members to guard the lighthouse, and with more than 100 team members, passed the lighthouse and entered the city wall walkway.

A group of people galloped forward along the aisle, just bumping into the oncoming Carthaginian light infantry on the way.

In the dark night, these Carthaginian soldiers heard the cluttered footsteps coming from the front. They thought that the soldiers in the small army camp had already entered the city and were unprepared. They didn't realize it was the enemy until they bumped into each other.

And these Carthaginian light infantrymen had no other weapons besides bows, javelins, and daggers. How could they be the opponents of the mountain scouts armed with leather shields and short swords, and they were quickly defeated.

On the way back, they shouted in horror: The enemy is killing the city!! The Dionysians are coming in!!...

As these rout soldiers approached the tower gate, their shouts were clearly heard in Imisere's ears, and he was a little panicked, because it meant that the Dionians occupied the natural breakwater and occupied the Lighthouse, they can control the water gate, and then let Dionia's warships enter the port! Let the Dionian army land in the port!

Imisere didn't have time to think about how the Dionysians occupied the lighthouse at the moment. What he thought was that Dionysian's fleet and army were likely to attack soon. Without much combat experience, he could not help panicking. , There is only one thought in mind: Never let the Dionians come into the city!

So he shouted very nervously: Hurry up and close the tower door,

Don't let the Dionians come in! The gates of the port are not allowed to open without my order! shut down now...

When the Carthaginians built the port of Lilibe, they were more thoughtful. The place where the natural breakwater was connected to the land was blocked with a wall. Only the city wall passed in the middle, and a tower was built on each side of the city wall. If you want to enter the natural breakwater, you can only enter through the walkway on the city, and these two towers are the tallest of all the towers in Lilibe, it is four meters higher than the city wall. Moreover, the Carthaginians also built a gate here with the aisle as the bottom and the towers on both sides as the door frame, not only to control the entry and exit of the natural breakwater, but also just in case.

In fact, the Carthaginian soldiers had already stationed in these two towers at this time. After hearing the sound of fighting and screaming from the opposite city wall, the cautious team officer quickly ordered the soldiers to temporarily close it. Tower door, wait until you understand the situation.

Hearing that the door of the tower was closed, Imisere calmed down for a moment, and he quickly gave another order: Go and inform General Sarkados of the Southeast Barracks, and let him dispatch 2,000 soldiers to come here!

Send someone to urge Ragnaca and let him bring troops here!

After giving these orders, he was still uneasy, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice to his most trusted hand: Ride a fast horse and rush to see Lord Margo, saying that the port of Lilibe was attacked by Dionysus. The demi-human landing attack, I hope he will send troops to rescue immediately!

The Carthaginians closed the door of the tower and let the defeated soldiers desperately call the door to refuse. Instead, they lit many torches on the tower, and then let the light infantry occupy the tower and moved towards Dionia, who was chasing the defeated Carthaginian soldiers on the walkway in front of the city wall. People conduct long-range attacks.

This time, the mountain scout team did not even wear leather helmets or armor in order to hide on the cargo ship and climb easily. Except for a leather shield, they had no extra protection on their bodies, and gathered on the narrow aisles to become remote The best target to attack, after a few rounds of bows and arrows, many of the scouts who rushed in front of the mountain were killed and injured, and even Terentus was shot in the left arm.

The pain dispelled Terentus's feverish fighting spirit, and he hurriedly ordered: let the soldiers retreat and hold the lighthouse.

The Dionians retreated, but the Carthaginian soldiers did not dare to open the tower door, for fear of an accident. It was not until the heavy infantry from the city arrived that Imisere ordered and opened the tower door.

The city wall on the natural breakwater is more than 5 meters high, and it is only possible to go down to the embankment through the lighthouse. If the Carthaginian soldiers wanted to retake the lighthouse, they could only pass through the city wall walkway, which could not give full play to their advantage of having a large number of soldiers. The connection between the lighthouse and the city wall Although there is no door, the lighthouse is more than twice as tall as the city wall, so Terentus asked some of his team members to block the entrance and exit of the city wall, while the other group went to the small army camp to get the javelins, bows and arrows stored by the enemy, and then went to the stone window on the upper floor of the tower. Before, attack the Carthaginian infantry attacking below, thereby reducing the impact of the Carthaginian heavy infantry on the entrance to the lighthouse.

Terentus regrets it now: the Carthaginians of Liliba, unlike Casrera and Syracuse, reacted more quickly to night raids, and if he had known that, he shouldn't have rushed to take the towers Instead, you should seize the time to block the entrance to the city wall and the lighthouse with door panels or other things.

Now that the two sides have formed a dominant position, it is very unfavorable for the mountain reconnaissance brigade. In the space where there is almost no dodge, the heavy infantry and the light armored soldiers are fighting head-on. Naturally, the mountain reconnaissance team suffers a lot of casualties, but even if the casualties continue to increase, the mountain reconnaissance brigade will take a step. You can't retreat, otherwise, the Carthaginians will rush into the lighthouse, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, at the entrance of the lighthouse and the city wall, the mountain reconnaissance brigade can only fall down one, and then top it, and support it.

Imisere was also very anxious, because the soldiers stationed on the artificial breakwater tower soon sent someone back to report: they found that many warships were approaching the port!

The main force of the Dionians is coming! Imisere was extremely anxious, and he knew very well that once these warships entered the port, it would bring a great threat to Lilibe.

So he gave a death order to Ragnaca, who had rushed to the city: the lighthouse must be recaptured as soon as possible, and the water gate must be closed!

Although there was a lot of shouting and confusion in the port area, both sides actually focused the battle on the fight for the lighthouse.

Ragnaca received the order, but did not immediately put the 5,000 soldiers he led into the attack on the lighthouse, because the Carthaginian soldiers who had attacked before had already formed a long line on the natural breakwater wall walkway, The soldiers behind could not threaten the enemy in the lighthouse no matter how much they invested, so he quickly ordered his men to look for ropes so that they could hang down from the city wall, so that the soldiers could go down to the embankment, and then attack the lighthouse from below, Second, it can prevent the Dionians from continuing to land on the embankment.

………………………………

As the Sicilian Fleet cruises in the western waters every day, every warship is familiar with the sea conditions near Lilibe. Under the guidance of the lighthouse, their speed has risen to the highest level, and only slowed down slightly until they approached the water gate. , one by one sticking to the side of the lighthouse and entering in turn.

At this time, the Carthaginian archers in the tower connected to the water gate on the opposite side kept firing rockets at the Dionian warship that entered the water gate.

But the people on the Dionysian warship were nervous. The soldiers on the deck put up long shields to block the rockets, and at the same time they were also cleared into the sea to prevent the warship from being set on fire, while the sailors in the cabin again Accelerate the oars to keep the ship out of range of the bow and arrow.

Originally, according to the plan, the first warship entering the port had to go inward as much as possible, stick the warship against the starting end of the natural breakwater, and then line up in sequence, so that the legionnaires could land on the embankment together, and the squadron commanded Stefan Cass's ship is responsible for the task of piloting.

But when he saw that the Carthaginians were fighting fiercely in front of the lighthouse on the city wall, the watchman also reminded him: he saw the Carthaginians on the city wall in front of him hanging down ropes.

He immediately realized the urgency of time. When the ship was about to approach the embankment and turned the drawbridge on the bow, the 12-meter wooden bridge was easily placed on the embankment, just as the Third Fleet passed the Tiber River a few months ago. Like the attack on the west bank of Rome, 50 soldiers of the Second Legion on the warship quickly climbed over the drawbridge and rushed to the embankment, intercepting the Carthaginian soldiers who were descending from the city wall.
