Chapter 323 Bloody Battle in the City

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

The crew immediately took out their leather shields, lances and daggers from the pile of silver nuggets, jumped onto the pier one after another, and killed the oncoming enemy.

"They are indeed the enemy!" the leading port official shouted loudly, and the freemen who commanded the dock were to kill all the enemies who attacked.

It turned out that after the infantry of the fleet successfully attacked the North Gate and entered the city, the news of "the Dionysians came" quickly spread throughout the city. On the contrary, the good news of the "Onia Army", the officials of the city hall quickly realized that there was a problem with the fleet that came to the port late at night, and urgently sent someone to inform the port.

Since the infantry of the Dionysian Fleet had just attacked the city at this time, there was no fierce battle yet. Although the inner port was in the city, it was located in the most remote place in the south. The changes in the city were not felt, so the port was prepared.

Because of the many benefits promised by Saros officials, the laborers of the port rushed forward, and the infantry of the fleet lined up calmly to face the battle, but the battle in the port happened before the city.

Fleet infantry has been trained for a long time, and the free people of Saros, who are not a rabble, can be compared, and they quickly gave them a lot of damage.

However, the port officials continued to organize new labors to surround them, taking advantage of the large number of people to suppress these foreign enemies on the dock, but at the same time, it also made it impossible to go to the area with the most young and middle-aged people in Saros at this time. Support the fierce battle in the city.

Dionia's army used to deceive the city was surrounded by the square and the port of the city, which was extremely unfavorable to them in this stalemate, because the gradually stabilized Saros people were trying to mobilize all the people who could fight as much as possible. They were surrounded and attacked, and they were left alone.

When the fake Carthaginian fleet was introduced into the Saros waterway, the Dionysian Clipper, which fell far behind, noticed the anomaly and immediately turned back north.

In order not to be discovered by the Saros people and cause vigilance, all the warships of the 3rd Fleet were moored on the sea near the mountain that separated St. Ibinia from the city of Saros. On the flagship of the three fleets.

After hearing this news, Midorades first felt nervous. He was worried that the Saros people had discovered the flaw and wanted to trick the fleet into the inner port of Saros city to catch turtles in an urn. Exposing his feet would lead to an ambush for the army who went overland and deceived the city, because all the infantrymen of his subordinate fleet, a full 1,500 people, were involved in this operation. In case... He didn't dare to think about it.

At this time, Tigertinos said decisively: "Lord Midorades, since the situation has changed, I suggest that the warships of the Third Fleet go south quickly.

Stopping at the beach near the outer port of Saros, I took the soldiers of the ninth army, quickly disembarked and landed, and rushed to the city of Saros to support your army! "

Midorades listened, and although he was a little moved, he was still a little worried: "This is too dangerous! In case the Saros people have noticed our plan and are prepared, there are many Phoenicians near that bay. Once the towns are united, after your ninth army has landed, they will be surrounded by the enemy, and the situation will be very dangerous!"

Tigertinos smiled: "Lord Midorades, you are confused, the only Phoenician army on this island has been annihilated by us, and my Ninth Legion has 6,000 elite soldiers (another 2,000). Soldiers cooperated with 2000 fleet infantry to stay in the port of St. Ibinia, guarding the captured Phoenician prisoners, and several hundred fleet infantry were responsible for guarding the two wooden bridges), even within the Phoenician territory. March, do they still have the power to stop me!"

Midorades was refreshed by Tigtinos' reminder, and he was confused just now because of his concern, but he forgot about it.

So the order was issued, and all the warships of the Third Fleet went south quickly by the weak moonlight and relying on the superb skills of the crew.

When they saw the lighthouse of the outer port of Saros flashing in the distance, they knew that the bay was coming soon. With the lighthouse as a positioning, the Third Fleet safely docked the warship on the beach, and the soldiers of the Ninth Legion quickly disembarked and gathered.

Such a loud voice naturally caused panic among the people in the outer port of Saros, but Tigertinos didn't care. He led the soldiers and marched northward along the shore of the lagoon according to the instructions of the map.

On the way, he also accidentally encountered the messenger of the fleet infantry from Lulu Fraud City who came to ask for help.

It turned out that after the infantrymen of the fleet deceived the North City Gate, they sent people to the outer port to receive the Ninth Corps. As a result, the soldier found that the outer port was calm and could not see the shadow of the reinforcements. After that, the infantry of the fleet also sent someone to check it once, but there was still no change. However, there was a change in the city. After the Saros people surrounded the enemies who had entered the city, the situation became stable. At this time, they remembered that the north gate was still in the hands of the enemy, so they organized a group of people to think about it. to take it back.

There were only 200 infantrymen of the Dionysian Fleet guarding the northern city gate. When they saw a large number of Saros people coming towards them, they felt that the situation was urgent. They had to send people to the outer port to check the situation, hoping to gain something. Just happened to meet the ninth army.

After Tigertinos had a general understanding of the situation in the city, he immediately ordered the soldiers to march quickly. The outer port was only five miles away from the city of Saros. They had already walked halfway before, and the soldiers of the Ninth Legion arrived at the northern city gate not long after.

At this time, the infantry of the fleet has been divided into two parts: one part is at the head of the city, stubbornly guarding the installation of the lift bridge (Saros city is close to the lagoon and has a moat); the other part is blocking the gate of the city to prevent the Saros people from closing. The city gate, their thin line of defense, was already crumbling under the onslaught of the Saros people.

Tigertinos rushed to the front without hesitation, leading the soldiers to the north gate, and the trumpeters also sounded the trumpet of the attack in time.

"Wow!..." The high-pitched bugle sound resounded throughout the city, which excited the fleet infantry in the city, but made the people of Saros bewildered.

The soldiers of the Ninth Legion are not fleet infantry, they are the real Dionian heavy infantry, wearing black armor and black armor, and holding a long shield and a short sword (due to the night, the target cannot be seen clearly, and the short sword is better than the lance. There is killing efficiency), and violently attack the Saros people at the gate of the city.

The Saros people saw that new enemies were pouring into the doorway, and they didn't know how many reinforcements the enemy had come, and their morale was depressed.

Tigtinos did not order a pursuit, but instead ordered the soldiers of the Ninth Legion to immediately move towards the place where the sound of the fighting was loudest.

Not long after, the mighty legionnaires rushed to the brightly lit square and charged towards the Saros who were besieging the infantry of the fleet.

The Saros people collapsed immediately.

Only then did the fleet infantry in the center appear in the eyes of Tigertinos. When they saw the reinforcements coming, they finally relaxed. They were so tired that they threw down their shields and spears and sat down on the ground. It is full of Saros people, some have been completely trampled into meat sauce, some are still groaning in pain, and there are even old people and women among them.

Such a bloody scene shocked Tigtinos, who had experienced countless battles, but he immediately dispatched 3,000 men to chase these rout Saros, and gave them an order: any Saros who appeared on the street Shoot to kill!

Tigtinos was disturbed by the terrifying will of the Saros people to resist, and decided to kill it completely. But what he didn't know was that the Saros people were actually not as brave as he imagined. If the Ninth Legion had invaded the city of Saros in a big way at the beginning, the Saros people would have given up resistance long ago, just because the fleet infantry There were less than 1,000 people when they entered the city of Saros. Compared with such a large town, this force was not enough to cause a shock, which gave the people of Saros hope.

At the same time, Tigtinos sent another 3,000 men to the inner port, but the free people in the port had long since collapsed, leaving only more than 100 fleet infantrymen at the dock to help the wounded comrades in arms.

In the second half of the night, the soldiers of the Ninth Legion patrolled various blocks in the city, and whenever they encountered a Saros who was still roaming the streets, they could not help but cut them down.

Tiger Tilos also interrogated the captured people of Saros and sent people to arrest the most important officials of Saros city hall.

The courage of the Saros people to fight before has long been lost without a trace, and they all fled home. They were so scared that they didn’t even dare to speak out. Stop and pray silently.

Gradually, the whole city returned to quiet.

According to the casualty statistics after the event, the Dionysian army suffered nearly 600 casualties (mainly fleet infantry) in this battle of the city, while the Saros casualties were as high as 4,000, including those who were routed and captured. Of the 2,000 civic soldiers of the Phoenician coalition, the city of Saros lost 2/5 of its population and suffered heavy losses.

But that wasn't the worst situation for the Saros.

In the early morning of the second day, Tigertinos sent troops to seize the outer port and waterway, and captured five Phoenician warships that could not escape. The Third Fleet entered the Inner Harbor through the waterway. Midorades and Tigtinos, who were heartbroken for the casualties of the fleet's infantry, discussed it. In view of the stubborn resistance of the Saros people last night and the heavy slaughter of the army, the two sides agreed. In fact, it was a deadly feud. For the future security of the army, and to deter other Phoenician towns on the island, they decided to demote all the Saros as slaves and immediately use the Third Fleet warship to forcibly transport them back to Terry. satisfied.

For the other Phoenician city-states on Sardinia, it was only yesterday that the Dionysians sacked St. Ibinia, and the next day Saros fled to their towns and asked them for help, Say yes: The Dionians have captured Saros and are slaughtering Saros.
