War is brutal and sacrifice is inevitable.

The Macedonian feint was fought bloody and tragically, absorbing the damage of the infantry of the Carthaginian Holy Order.

The main Macedonian siege echelon only appeared in the west of the city.

Knowing that the enemy was attacking from two directions, Zeuxis was triumphant, so he transferred all the war elephants. These behemoths immediately blocked the western access to the city in the middle of the city.

Ducarus launched the siege. Artillery volleys were fired, and stone shells smashed into the walls. The ordinary stone walls of Carthage could not withstand the onslaught of Macedonia and collapsed in large sections. The siege team then opened fire, destroying the surrounding defensive towers and the west gate tower. The line of attack has been opened, and the elephants in the city through the gap are very visible.

With most of the ammunition left, the catapult began to shoot fireballs into the city. The Carthaginian elephants were agitated by the fire, some of their artillery exploded in the herd, while others smashed into houses and set them on fire. For a while, the city here was full of fires and thick smoke. The defenders hurried to extinguish the fire, and the sight irritated the elephant's nerves. Coupled with the limited width of the city's streets, the elephants collided with each other and attacked, and the defenders were in chaos.

Team after team of war elephants went crazy and lost control. Half of Carthage's defenses collapsed, and Ducarus lightened the burden at once, so that he would not have to fight to the death with the elephants in the central square of the city. However, he soon discovered that a battle with these behemoths was indispensable.

The loss of control of the elephant will undoubtedly cause the opponent to lose his killer weapon, but the chaotic herd of elephants is not allowed to stand in the way of the Macedonian army's march to the siege.

"At this moment, on the other side of the city, there are our brothers who are fighting to the death to create conditions.

They gave their lives to buy time for our side, and there is no reason why we should not fight hard.

Brothers, now, ~ Siege!"

Ducarus ordered the infantry to advance.

In fact, if the obstacles in front of them were not quickly resolved and the city was quickly captured, the Carthaginian Orders infantry would soon eat the bait soldiers and turn their heads against the Campanian Legion, and the outcome would be unpredictable. Originally, the Macedonian phalanx was evenly matched against the infantry of the Holy Order, and Carthage, the war elephant, became overwhelming.

The elephants rushed out of the city, and the Macedonian phalanx met them.

In a fierce battle, the crazy war elephants went on a rampage, and the Macedonian warriors used the formation to rely on each other and stubbornly resist. The scene is bloody and blurry.

Tall people have the advantage, and hyperactive images are even more destructive.

Finally, all the elephants were brought down. The Macedonian phalanx soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties, because the elephant herd in a state of madness was really difficult to deal with.

Ducarus looked at the infantry, four of which had lost more than half. Entering the city to fight in this way will be tightened. But the commander knew that they could not retreat. "There is only one way to seek a quick solution, and there is only one fight." Ducarus thought of this and was the first to rush out. Walking on the river of blood and corpses that could no longer distinguish friend from foe, he rode into the city of Carthage. The guards followed closely, and the soldiers followed.

The phalanx infantry quickly entered the city, lined up in a phalanx of spears, and prepared to meet the infantry of the Holy Order. Archers are placed in the back.

With the phalanx of pikes supporting the flanks, the Macedonian cavalry consistently entered and went straight to the square to kill.

The Macedonian cavalry fought to the death with the Carthaginian cavalry in the square.

The Carthaginian cavalry was never mainstream, well-armed but lacking in combat power. The Macedonian heavy cavalry rushed over and peeled the enemy back in layers like peeling an orange. Take advantage of the advantages of numbers and attack direction to completely destroy the enemy. Piggyback on the slaughter of the humble Punic Javelinmen. In the center of the square was a large Macedonian flag, a symbol of the occupation.

The Carthaginian garrison Zeuxis was captured, the square was lost, and the infantry of the Holy Order was demoralized, but they still quickly came to the rescue and put up a stubborn resistance. The two spear phalanxes met on the streets of the city.

The black military flags of the Macedonian phalanx fluttered in the wind, full of pride of victory; The white flag of the Carthaginian Order is marked with a blue symbol, engraved with the honor of being undefeated.

On the one hand, he fought with the demon monster, and the formation was incomplete; On the other side, there was a bloody battle, the white robe was stained crimson with blood, and one enemy was hundred, and ten thousand people repelled.

The soldiers on both sides were glaring with rage and gritted their teeth. Because they sniffed each other's comrades-in-arms in each other. Unforgivable.

The trumpet sounded, and they marched in unison.

Bows and arrows, javelins, and exchanges. Macedonian archers take advantage and amplify their damage. The infantry of the Holy Order tasted the power of the Macedonian bow and arrow, and they were in disarray. The Macedonian phalanx marched forward and flanked the enemy in three directions. The Carthaginian infantry was at a disadvantage.

Ducarus led the cavalry from another detour in the city behind the enemy, and the Order's infantry were attacked in front and behind, with clusters of arrows overhead.

Infantry and bows work together to annihilate the mighty infantry of the Holy Order.

Macedonia declared the capture of the city of Carthage. Ducarus immediately sent troops to attack the port of Carthage by land. The troops and sailors guarding the port were no match for the Campanian regiment at all, the blood of the killed in the port was shed, and the Macedonian army occupied the port, as well as the ships in it.

At this time, the naval battle in the Mediterranean ended. The navies of the two sides were evenly divided and suffered heavy losses, and each returned to port. It's just that the Carthaginian fleet was forced to withdraw to Tapsus.

The Roman Third Legion, which had performed many miraculous feats, once again brought good luck to Aloyos, and captured the city of Carthage, the capital of Carthage. The corps also survived two-thirds of its strength. And the arrival of enemy reinforcements was delayed, and Ducarus won the bet.

The Overland Seventh Army, commanded by the veteran Scottusa, also launched an attack and defeated the western Carthaginian defense, Sinrida's corps. War elephants were fearless to the Macedonian soldiers, but they were nothing more than tall ornaments, and once they had overcome their fears, they were invincible.

Scottusa used a long-handed attack to deal with Sinrida, first striking at the enemy's mercenaries and soft forces, then using surprise lures to eliminate Sinrida's cavalry forces, and finally breaking down the Order's infantry lines and elephants. With the only family in her hand: thirty elephants and seven chalanxes, Sinrida roamed the land of Africa. A week later, it was surrounded by an ambush in Scottusa.

Skotusa offered to make Sinrida surrender, but at first the other party did not agree. He didn't give up and sent lobbyists to persuade.

Sinrida knew that it would be useless to resist, but she didn't want to be called disloyal. His men were willing to surrender and assisted the Macedonian envoys in kidnapping their general Sinrida to surrender. Scottusa accepted the surrender of the Carthaginian army and gave it preferential treatment.

In this way, the Seventh Army has a war elephant unit, which is like a tiger with wings.

Sinrida was unwilling to pledge allegiance to Macedonia, and Skotusa, remembering his loyalty, sent him home for reunion. As a result, he died in the later Carthage massacre.

The Carthaginian line was passively retracted, and the remaining main army was concentrated in the land of Bosasion. Prepare to carry the Battle of Carthage to the end and regain lost territory.
