Whatever you do, you must be careful, serious, not pretentious, with compassion, freedom, and justice, and not think of anything else. You can do this, if you do everything in your life as if you were the last, avoid all carelessness, avoid all irrational emotional agitation, avoid all hypocrisy, selfishness, and complaining about your own fate.

- Marcus Aurelius (the only philosopher-emperor in Western history)

By the time all the five hundred Numidian infantry had climbed the wall, they had cleared a considerable clearing of the wall; The infantry on the two siege towers wisely merged their positions into one, forming a circular battle formation to engage the defenders. Because of the limited space on the city walls, it was impossible for Vimina to gather more than 3,000 defenders in one place to attack; Hundreds of archers had to be brought in.

Before the archers could run up the walls, Ahmet, who was in charge of the Numidian army, ordered the remaining infantry to march towards the walls with ladders; This time, they were attacking in the vicinity of the siege tower. If the 2,000-strong Numidian infantry had waited for the wall, Vimyna would have to pay a heavy price to defend the wall.

Because the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Ahmet's army was really beyond the expectations of Vimyna, whether it was the first sneak attack in the Kingdom of Tripoli or the last siege; The Numidian army was very weak, at least in the eyes of Vimini, at least at the level of third-rate, slightly better than the militia and recruits who did not enter the stream.

However, the Ahmet Legion soldiers who attacked the southern wall surprised Vimyna; Only about 500 infantry climbed the city wall through the siege tower, and actually stabilized the formation under the superior force of the defenders, and also skillfully used the terrain of the city wall to form a battle formation and fell into a melee with the defenders, this is the real elite.

When the walls were in a scuffle, even if Viminina had transferred all his archers to the walls, it would not have been possible to stop the siege of the two thousand Numidian infantry; At that time. More than 2,000 Numidian infantry were enough for the defenders to have a headache. Coupled with the fact that the remaining thousands of infantry of the Ahmet Legion were still eyeing from afar, Victoria really didn't dare to take this risk.

So, when Vimyna ordered hundreds of archers to launch a bow attack on the Numidian infantry on the city wall, he let the trumpeters around him blow another trumpet; With the sound of this horn, the infantry in charge of guarding the city gate quickly opened the south gate of Tapsus. Just as the two thousand Numidian infantry carrying the ladder were approaching the city walls, the gates opened.

Look at the city gate that opened with a bang. The Numidian infantry, which was advancing valiantly, was at a loss; They didn't know whether they should continue to attack from the city walls using the ladders with great difficulty, or attack directly from the city gates. At the moment when they hesitated, the two thousand long shield cavalry who had already prepared rushed out of the city gate with lightning speed.

However, these elite Numidian infantry were no ordinary recruits; If the average recruit senses the onslaught of the cavalry, he will definitely panic and retreat, so that their backs will be exposed to the onrushing cavalry. But these infantrymen are not so stupid; After sensing the movement of the cavalry, they immediately put down the ladder in their hands and formed a circle formation in units of 100 people.

The cavalry rushing out saw these circles in front of them, and had to rush over; But. In this way, the impact of the cavalry is much worse than that of charging at the enemy's back. However, cavalry is still cavalry; The powerful impact of the two thousand shield cavalry still easily broke through the circle of several infantry hundreds, and slaughtered these infantry.

Unfortunately, the fate of these cavalrymen ended there; Ahmet would not have watched his infantry be wiped out by the Carthaginian cavalry. Therefore, Ahmet decisively sent 5,000 shield cavalry under his command to support the infantry in front; The 3,000 archers also duly attacked the enemy cavalry that was far away from their own infantry.

When Ahmet sent out a large cavalry force, Victoria Secret knew that his 2,000 cavalry could not retreat in one piece; In order to prevent the Numidian cavalry from taking advantage of the siege, Vimila had to reluctantly order the infantry near the gates to close the gates again. When the gates were closed, the lone cavalrymen knew what their fate was; But they can only choose zé to kill the enemy more bravely on the battlefield. In order to make their own death more brilliant.

In the end, the two thousand cavalry fell under the cavalry horses of Ahmet; Still, their sacrifice was worth it. Because of their courage to kill the enemy. The attack of two thousand Numidian infantry was interrupted and cost nearly a thousand dead and wounded; Because of their stubborn fighting, the 5,000-strong Numidian cavalry also paid hundreds of casualties.

The most important thing is that the hundreds of Numidian infantry who had climbed the city wall before were also annihilated when the cavalry fought to the death; Vermina held the infantry in front and attacked from the rear with archers, completely destroying the Numidian infantry. Vimini then hastened to order the infantry, armed with torches, to set fire to the two siege towers; After solving the siege tower crisis. Vimila resolutely redeployed all the archers to the city walls.

When the Numidian army had slain the last cavalryman, the archers on the walls began to fire their arrows again; The unprepared Numidian cavalry and infantry were damaged by the rain of arrows, but they quickly withdrew to the Chinese position 500 meters beyond the city walls. At this point, the battle in the south was finally over; It is impossible for Tulguta and Ahmet to have elite infantry use ladders to storm a city without a siege tower. Because the casualties are too great.

After the crisis in the south was resolved, the fighting in the east and west was almost over; However, the fighting on the east and west sides was much more fierce than the one in the south. For the defenders on both sides were made up of pure infantry, and there was no cavalry to support them; Therefore, after the enemy troops on the siege tower climbed the wall, the other follow-up enemy troops also quickly used ladders to climb the wall.

However, the so-called enemy forces are not the elite divisions of the Ahmet Legion; They were all lightly armed infantry under the command of Niptasan and Egklos, not only were their equipment and combat experience inferior to those of the elite infantry under Ahmed's, but even their will to fight was 108,000 miles behind. Even so. In order to repel their attack, Mahabal and Abydos also paid a considerable price.

After the Numidian army had withdrawn to its camp, Victoria's Secret began today's casualty count; The specific casualty figures have nothing to do with the defense later, but the remaining army is Guan Jiàn, who continues to defend. At this time, the city of Tapsus also had 3,000 Libyan spearmen, 2,000 Punic infantry, 1,000 Iberian infantry, and 4,000 archers; The total number of troops is only 10,000, and there is only one battle today. The defenders of Tapsus lost thousands of men.

From the beginning of Numidia's assault on Tapsus, there had only been two battles, and only 10,000 of Carthage's 17,000 defenders remained; However, the losses in Numidia were even greater. In today's battle, Numidia lost more than 1,000 elite infantry and 1,000 cavalry on the southern battlefield; Together with the loss of five thousand light infantry on the other two sides, Numidia lost seven thousand troops on this day alone.

However, the difference in strength between the offensive and defensive sides is still obvious; While the Carthaginian garrison had only 10,000 remaining, Numidia had a full 31,000 troops. With the gradual reduction of the forces of both sides. One thing is getting better and better; That is, the soldiers on both sides of the war are becoming more and more elite. This illustrates a truth, the battlefield is the best place for recruits to become elite; The only price to pay is life!

This attack caused the Numidian army to lose all their siege equipment again, and for a short time Zuguta was reluctant to launch another attack on Tapsus; Because the losses are really too great. If the rate of losing 7,000 men in each battle was to be fought at this rate, it would only take four more battles for the Numidian army to be completely dead and wounded.

Moreover, after two battles, the light infantry who survived were all veterans; Although it is not as good as Ahmet's elite infantry, it is not easy to consume. In order to be able to replenish their own forces and find some cannon fodder troops for the siege. Turguta decided to gather the five thousand lightly armed infantry who had remained in the Great Leptis to Tapsus; And let these 5,000 people recruit 5,000 young men in Tripoli to serve as siege cannon fodder.

Of course, these are all statements within the Numidian hierarchy; The external narrative is all about expanding the army. Recruiting 5,000 recruits directly in Tripoli is also a concrete manifestation of King Zuguta's regard for the people of Tripoli as part of the Numidian Kingdom, as for whether anyone believes it or not, it doesn't matter if you can recruit 5,000 cannon fodder.

In this way, the battle of Tapsus stopped again; Both sides are building up strength for the next more brutal battle. At the same time, Juguda's legions were also passing through a sudden battle; The initiator of this battle was none other than Himika, who was responsible for holding on to Qusel.

Ever since Juguda was ordered to lead an army to besiege Qusser. Jugurdah besieged Qusayr to the south with his army; Every day Juguda garrisoned the barracks near the south gate with his 1,000 javelinmen and 2,000 camel cavalry, while the north side of Qusayr was surrounded by 2,000 long shield cavalry.

Actually, Himika didn't intend to attack the Lord dòng; But every morning Juguda would patrol the east and west sides of Qusayr with his two thousand camel cavalry, and there were only a thousand javelinmen in his barracks. For the Himika brothers, the absence of yí was a great temptation; Every day, he led an army of tens of thousands and was surrounded by 5,000 enemy troops, and he could not go to war. No one can stand it!

Just today, Juguda went on patrol with two thousand of his own camel cavalry; Unable to bear it, Himika sent his younger brother Himika to lead a thousand round shield cavalry and a thousand Iberian infantry directly to the Juguda military camp outside the city. Himicio quickly ordered a thousand infantry to use torches to burn the barracks gates open at the fire of enemy javelinmen; Then Hòu Himicio rushed into the barracks with two thousand troops.

The attack of a thousand elite round shield cavalry and a thousand Iberian infantry against a thousand javelinmen was nothing short of a massacre, but the four thousand Jugurdas cavalry, who immediately rushed back, proved to be a trap; When the barracks were surrounded by 4,000 cavalry regiments, Himiko knew what was going on. However, Himicio was no indecisive man; Before he ordered his soldiers to return to Qusayr, he slaughtered the thousand javelinmen in the barracks.

However, the desperate Himicio began a battle to the death with more than 1,000 soldiers against 4,000 cavalry; Juguda, however, did not give Himicio a chance to fight to the death. He only asked 2,000 camel cavalry to launch a bow attack on the infantry cavalry under the command of Himicio at a certain distance, and in desperation, Himiko had to abandon the infantry and return to Qussell with the cavalry.

However, the charge of the long-shield cavalry under the command of Zhu Guda did not allow these cavalry to escape to the sky; In the end, of the 2,000 soldiers who left the city, only Himiko returned to Qusayr with less than ten horsemen. However, Jugurdah also lost a thousand javelinmen; In terms of results, Juguda had the advantage, but in terms of total strength, it was the Himika brothers who had the advantage.

After this battle, Zhu Guda did not dare to easily disperse his forces; For he had lost a hundred elephants and a thousand men in the war between Numidia and Carthage, and the remaining 4,000 cavalry were the last foundation of the Sahara. The Himika brothers are also wise enough to go out of the city easily, and the Quser battlefield has fallen into an eerie calm. (To be continued.) )
