Chapter 0702: Carthage's Invitation
Autumn 516, October 16, morning.
Through the animal's eye, Yamazaki discovered the military movement of the Vandal Kingdom, the fortresses of Carthage and Western Carvinia, plus the tribes outside the city, a total of eight light cavalry regiments, six were regular troops, two slave armies, and ten miscellaneous armies of nomadic tribes were mobilized, and they were still being assembled.
Four regular legions of Carthage, two slave legions, six miscellaneous armies of nomadic tribes in the Carthage region, two regular legions of the fortress of Western Kavinia, and four miscellaneous armies of nomadic tribes in the fortress of Western Kavinia.
Looking at the formation, it was planned that no matter how many casualties there were, they would rush to the city of Dolceo in one go, delineate the mobility advantage of the crossbow cavalry, and limit the firing range.
Yamazaki marked their location on a map in the spirit world, as well as a rough route of possible marches.
The six legions of the city of Carthage were about 100 kilometers east-north, and the six motley armies of the nomadic tribes of Carthage were about 15 kilometers to the east, 20 kilometers to the north-east, 30 kilometers to the north-east, 4 to the northeast, 50 kilometers to the northeast, and 6 to 50 kilometers to the east.
The two legions of the fortress of Western Kavinia were fifty kilometers north-west of this place, and the four miscellaneous armies of the nomadic tribes of the fortress of Western Kavinia were forty kilometers west-north of the seventh, thirty kilometers north-northwest of the eighth, sixty kilometers north-west of the ninth, and eighty kilometers north-west of the tenth of the fortress.
Yamazaki found that there was a time difference between them, and by seizing the time difference, the Sixth Legion of Gelong and the Seventh Army of Gelong could defeat them one by one.
It's just that it's hard to say, I can't say that Yamazaki can see their location and terrain clearly now, right?
However, it will take time for the tribe to assemble, and the origin of the regular army is fixed, it can be started by the regular army, and as long as they are defeated, the horde's motley army will not dare to move.
The first target, then, was the two regular legions that came out of the fortress of Western Carvinia. ......
An hour later, Yamazaki led the Gelon army on a thirty-kilometer journey and met two regular legions from the fortress of Western Carvinia.
When they saw the Gelon army, they dismounted, met them with shields, and waited for reinforcements, their shields also enlarged and thickened, but they were wooden.
Under the cover of the crossbow bolts, the slave guards stepped forward and threw a round of oil bombs, and their shields were immediately unable to grasp.
There was no further attack, just let them surrender, and they complied.
While resting, he directed them, threw out the weapons and armor and piled them up, forming a mountain.
Leaving them alone, the Gelon army turned to the northeast to attack the six legions that had come out of the city of Carthage.
Two hours later, the Gelon army arrived at the point of blockade, and the other side also found out.
Then unexpectedly, the other side left the slave legion, and the regular legion ran away.
Mei Daizi smiled: "Ha, these guys are very demoralized, go directly to Carthage." ”
"Don't be careless, though. Yamazaki said. ......
In the afternoon, the junction of the Hadera region and the Aures region.
While the men of Aureth were digging trenches, the Fifth Regiment of Gelong arrived with the weapons and equipment of the two legions, and after they delivered the weapons and equipment, they were so tired that they rested directly, and the men were sleepy.
The city of Aures received a regiment of alloy ballistae, the equipment of an alloy hoplite, and the army was reorganized into five regiments, an alloy crossbow infantry regiment, an alloy hoplite regiment, an ill-trained ordinary hoplite regiment, and two largely untrained light infantry regiments.
Before evening, the vanguard of the Vandal 2nd Army arrived, and was dumbfounded to see tens of thousands of men digging trenches, and to see the infantry of the five legions, especially the two heavy infantry regiments.
Where did it come from? There was no army in the Aures region before, and there were no such legions in the kingdom of Gelong.
However, no matter where it came from, it is impossible to solve it quickly now. ......
In the evening, the city of Carthage.
When the Gelong army approached the city, the golden eagle Nika attacked first, targeting the catapult, and the three-wheeled throwing created twenty-four lines of gunsmoke.
After that, Nika the Golden Eagle gets tired and returns to Maidiko's side to receive the reward and rest.
Yamazaki was not prepared to attack the city of Carthage immediately, and the Gelon army needed to rest, which was just a greeting.
The city defense crossbow of Carthage City is in the compartment of the city wall, and although the Golden Eagle Nika can throw it, it is a bit weird compared to falling objects from high altitudes, so let it go for the time being, and wait for tomorrow to slowly smash it open with a trebuchet.
However, the city is already in chaos, the catapult is gone, and the range of the bow and crossbow is suppressed by the opponent's strong crossbow.
Or do you want to fill it with your life?
Who will?
The fall outside the city is stagnant, they are all waiting, who can be counted on in the city?
Slaves? Surrender to the kingdom of Gelong will be better off, directly become civilians.
Civilians?The kingdom of Gelong basically does not have to pay taxes, unless they are forced to fight with their families, but if they do that in full view, the kingdom is not far from complete collapse.
Many people seem to have gone to sea with their families?......
October 17, morning.
After a night of silence, the Gronn barracks welcomed a group of guests, representatives of the city of Carthage, who invited the Gronn army into the city.
King Vandal had gone on a trip to Sicily last evening, taking with him a large entourage and belongings.
Many people were evacuated by boat from Carthage, and the ship yard was burned, and Yamazaki saw it through the owl, but he didn't expect that even the king would run away.
The current situation is that as long as the Kingdom of Geron fulfills its commitments in the Declaration of Geron, Carthage will fall to the Kingdom of Geron.
Slaves could become civilians, civilians with assets of up to ten gold coins were free of charge, and all civilians had the right to vote in city elections.
Of course, Yamazaki agreed, and he had to come out from behind the scenes and sign a contract.
The rumor of the god of war has long been spread, the protagonist is a child, and it is said that he was also taken by the goddess of retribution, but it made the world suspicious, but when he really saw it, he was not surprised.
People who are recognized by the god of war can naturally be invincible, regardless of age. ......
Carthage.
Legend has it that Queen Tido, who was born in 839 B.C., founded the ancient city of Carthage in 814 B.C. by enclosing the territory with a cowhide rope.
In the hands of the Vandal Kingdom, there are now less than half a million, but this is inside and outside the city of Carthage, and there are more than a million people in the entire Carthage region.
Commerce is developed, handicrafts are developed, agriculture is developed, animal husbandry is developed, and culture is developed.
However, Yamazaki and Midaiko did not enter the city, they had already seen it in the sky, and they were not curious at all.
What impressed me the most was not civilized places such as theaters, but in broad daylight, slave owners whipped slaves at will and violated slaves at will.
Maybe in this era, this is normal, but if you don't get used to it, you can't get used to it.
Someone once said, I come, I see, I conquer.
Then I now say, I come, I see, I conquer, I change. ......
