Those who betray their relatives are hated not only by the victims, but also by the buyers.

- Aesop (Greek fabler, Phrygian)

The fact that the Hanno army's army could control the initiative on the battlefield proved that their army's combat effectiveness was indeed higher than that of the army of the Numidian Kingdom, but it did not prove that they would definitely win the battle; The battle did not go to the last moment, and who would dare to say that their own army would definitely win, not to mention that their opponent was the most elite Guards of the Numidian Kingdom.

Even if the situation on the entire battlefield has fallen into disadvantage, the soldiers of the Guards Legion have no intention of retreating, they are still fighting to the death, for the future of the Numidian Kingdom and to practice their loyalty to Adheba, they are willing to fight on the battlefield until the moment they fall, even if the last drop of blood is shed, they will continue to fight!

Unfortunately, the soldiers of the Salah Legion did not have the same consciousness as the soldiers of the Guards Legion; Just after being attacked by the full force of the Hanno family's reserves, the left flank of the Numidian army was almost unable to support it, and if it weren't for the commander of the Guards Legion of the Numidian Kingdom who killed dozens of routs who wanted to escape on the spot, I am afraid that thousands of soldiers on the left flank would have collapsed.

Even after barely stabilizing the situation on the battlefield, the army of the Numidian Kingdom was unable to launch a counterattack, and could only increase the enemy's casualties by fighting to the death with all their might; In fact, since the commander of the Guards Corps saw the tens of thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Carthage, he knew that this war of the Kingdom of Numidia could not be won.

For from the beginning to the end, they received information that the army of the Kingdom of Carthage in the region of Baisasion did not exceed 20,000, but there were about 40,000 troops waiting in front of them; If at this moment he does not understand that his army has jumped into the trap, then his captain of the Guards Legion will be in vain.

It's a pity that even if you understand it at this time, what can you do? He couldn't think of any other choice than to fight with all his might; In this case, let's fight to the death, even if our own 40,000 troops are annihilated, we will make the Carthaginian Kingdom pay a heavy price for casualties!

With a legion commander with a will to die in the rear, how could the soldiers of the Guards of the Kingdom of Numidia not fight to the death? The army of the House of Hanno was destined to win the battle, but it was also destined to be a bloody and tragic battle; Victory is always earned with blood and life, not by chance.

By the time the shielded cavalry, less than three thousand men and bloodied under Himika's leadership, had been fighting for seven hours; The 35,000 infantry of the Numidian Kingdom was already less than 10,000, and the 40,000 infantry of the Hanno family also paid the price of 20,000 casualties, and the fierce fighting between the two sides continued.

A flank charge of nearly 3,000 shield cavalry completely ended the last trace of the Numidian kingdom's army, and the Numidian kingdom's army finally collapsed on all fronts; Victory belongs to the Hanno army, and no matter how heavy the price they pay, at least they are the final victors!

While the 40,000 army of the Numidian Kingdom and the 45,000 army of the Hanno family were fighting to the death on this plain, the armies of Abydos and Gisken finally caught up with Salah's main army in eastern Tripoli; When the 20,000 shielded cavalry of the Hanno family appeared two hundred meters away from Salah's army, the battle had already broken out.

Salah led his main army all the way east under Adheba's orders, and now reached the border area between the Tripoli region and the Cyrenacan Republic; Morpheus, the consul of the Cyrenacan Republic, was not a good man, much less a weak and incompetent person.

If Salah continues to lead his army deep into the territory of the Cyrenaic Republic, it will inevitably lead to the attack of Morpheus's army, and even directly lead to the alliance between the Cyrenacan Republic and the Carthaginian Kingdom against the Numidian Kingdom; Salah naturally couldn't provoke unnecessary enemies for the Numidian Kingdom, so he could only turn around and fight to the death with the pursuing Carthaginian Kingdom army.

20,000 long shield cavalry of the Kingdom of Carthage, a cavalry group that completely overrode the cavalry force under Salah; In fact, even the charge of 20,000 shield cavalry is not something that an ordinary infantry army can handle.

However, Salah was not afraid of the enemy's 20,000 long shield cavalry; In these days of going further east, Salah had his infantry soldiers build more than 1,000 heavy iron spears with a length of more than five meters in order to deal with the superior cavalry forces of the Carthaginian kingdom.

Such an iron spear requires the combined efforts of three ordinary infantry soldiers to operate; Only a super gun formation composed of a thousand such iron spears is needed, and it can definitely block the charge of the enemy's 20,000 cavalry.

As it turned out, the solution Salah came up with was not as perfect as he had imagined; When 20,000 shield cavalry charged Salah's army, Salah immediately asked his soldiers to form a tight super gun formation with these super long spears.

The long-shield cavalry of the Carthage Kingdom, who had never encountered such a situation, naturally paid an extremely heavy price in front of this super gun array that was almost impossible to break through in the front, and the death of at least three thousand long-shield cavalry directly frightened the follow-up long-shield cavalry to give up the attack; However, before Salah could rejoice, the regrouped shield cavalry actually came in three ways.

After all, Salah's super spear is only a little bit, how can it be possible to block the enemy's shield cavalry from three sides? Salah did not move at all, and the enemy Salah on the left flank let his shield cavalry meet him, and the enemy on the right flank could only be desperately resisted by the infantry.

This round of enemy attacks still did not break through the defense line of Salah's army; Needless to say, the frontal battle was fought by the sharp spear phalanx, which once again broke the head of the Carthaginian kingdom's shield cavalry, and the battle on the left flank was a battle between the shield cavalry and the shield cavalry, and even Salah's shield cavalry had a slight numerical advantage.

The most tragic was naturally the combat effectiveness of the right flank, using the flesh and blood of the infantry to block the charge of thousands of shield cavalry; Salah had no choice but to grit his teeth and watch in pain except to sacrifice the lives of his soldiers.

The 20,000 shielded cavalry of the Kingdom of Carthage eventually withdrew from the battle, and Salah's 23,000-strong army was reduced to 14,000 men; In terms of losses, it was Salah who won the battle, but war is never the simplest casualty comparison.

Before Salah could recover from the onslaught of the enemy cavalry, 15,000 infantry from Abydos and Gisken appeared in front of Salah; Next, there was another extremely tragic life-and-death struggle.

This time, Salah's army could no longer use those bulky super spears to play a role, and there was no cavalry to use to attack the enemy's flank, so they had no choice but to get into a frontal battle with the infantry of the Kingdom of Carthage; At the same time, Salah's men had to guard against possible flank attacks by enemy cavalry.

However, there was no point in guarding, and while Abydos was commanding the frontal infantry group to fight Saleh's soldiers, Gisken also put those shield cavalry in order again; And while the soldiers of Saleh's regiment were fighting desperately in the front, they launched an assault charge on their flanks.

With the 35,000 troops of the Carthaginian kingdom besieging the 23,000 troops of Saleh's legion, how could Saleh's army win the war when the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not much different? Especially under the premise that the army of the Carthaginian Kingdom has an absolute superiority in cavalry, this is another battle in which the Carthaginian Kingdom will eventually win.

As night drew on, Abydos and Gisken finally ended the brutal battle; The 23,000 soldiers of Salah's legion, including Salah as the commander, were all killed in the battle, and the price paid by Abydos and Gisken was extremely terrible.

At the time of the expedition, the Abydos legion, which had a full army of 20,000 men, had only 6,000 cavalry left, and the Gisken legion, which had 15,000 soldiers, had only 5,000 cavalry left; In order to eliminate Salah and his more than 23,000 soldiers, Abydos and Giesken paid the price of 24,000 casualties, which was simply a war in which 1,000 enemies were killed and 1,000 were lost.

Two great battles broke out in succession, and the 50,000 troops of the Salah Legion and the 20,000 troops of the Guards Legion of the Kingdom of Numidia were all wiped out; And the price paid by the Hanno family for this is also extremely heavy; The 80,000 Hanno family troops, including the Hanno family's private army, are now only 33,000 soldiers left.

However, compared to the price paid by the Kingdom of Numidia for the annihilation of the 70,000 elite army, the price of nearly 50,000 soldiers killed and wounded by the Hanno family is still acceptable; When the Vimina in the north learned of the results of these two great battles, he immediately ordered his entire army to immediately launch a full-scale attack on Ahmet's legion, and the kingdom of Numidia was left without troops to fight again!

If Vimini was ecstatic when he got the results of those two great battles, then Adheba and Ahmed were overjoyed when they got the news; Especially Adheba, he hated himself for burying the most elite Guards and Salah Legions of the Numidian Kingdom with his own hands, if he hadn't changed his orders temporarily, how could Salah have died in battle, and how could the Guards have been destroyed.

There is no regret medicine in this world, and no matter how much Adheba regrets it, it is impossible to change everything that has happened; The current kingdom of Numidia could not rely on Ahmet's army to stop the full-scale attack of the kingdom of Carthage, and Adheba had to find a way to gain the support of the Augustan Empire, even if he was unwilling to do so.
