Yamasaki discovered the military mobilization of the Vandal Kingdom through animal spies. Carthage and West Kavinia fortresses, plus tribes outside the city, dispatched a total of eight light cavalry regiments, six of which were regular troops, two slave troops, and another mobilization
A miscellaneous army of ten nomadic tribes is still gathering.
There are four regular legions from Carthage, two slave legions, and six miscellaneous armies of nomadic tribes in the Carthage area; two regular legions from West Kavinia Fortress, and four miscellaneous armies from nomadic tribes in the West Kavinia Fortress area.
Judging from the formation, they planned to rush to the gate of Dorseo City in one go regardless of the number of casualties, delineating the mobility advantage of the crossbow cavalry and limiting the range.
Yamazaki marked their location on the map in the spiritual world, along with a rough possible marching route.
The six legions of Carthage are about a hundred kilometers north-east of here. The six nomadic tribes in the Carthage area are about fifteen kilometers away from here. The first one is about fifteen kilometers to the east, and the second one is east.
Twenty kilometers north, number three is about thirty kilometers east by east, number four is about fifty kilometers northeast, number five is about seventy kilometers northeast, and number six is fifty kilometers north by east.
The two legions of the West Kavinia Fortress are fifty kilometers away from here to the west and north of here. The four nomadic tribes in the West Kavinia Fortress area are located at a distance of 40 kilometers to the north and west, and the No. 8 is thirty kilometers to the northwest.
, No. 9 is 60 kilometers northwest, and No. 10 is 80 kilometers west-north.
Yamazaki discovered that there was a time difference between them. By seizing the time difference, the Gron Sixth Army and the Gron Seventh Army could defeat them one by one.
It's just that it's hard to say. I can't say that Yamazaki can clearly see their location and terrain now, right?
However, it will take time for the tribe to assemble, and the source of the regular army is fixed. You can start with the regular army, and as long as they are defeated, the tribe's miscellaneous armies will not dare to take action.
Then, the first target is the two regular legions coming out of West Kavinia Fortress...
An hour later, Yamasaki led the Gron Army to drive thirty kilometers and met two regular regiments coming out of West Kavinia Fortress.
When they saw the Gelong army, they dismounted and faced them with a shield formation, waiting for reinforcements. Their shields were also enlarged and thickened, but they were made of wood.
Under the cover of the crossbow bolts, the slave guards stepped forward and threw a round of oil bombs, and their shields suddenly lost their grip.
There was no further attack and they were asked to surrender, which they did.
While resting, he directed them to throw out weapons and armor and pile them up into a mountain.
Ignoring them, Gron's army turned around and headed to the northeast to attack the six legions coming out of Carthage.
Two hours later, the Gelong Army arrived at the blocking location, and the opponent also discovered it.
Then unexpectedly, the other party left behind a slave army and the regular army ran away.
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Ha, the morale of these guys is very low. Let's go directly to Carthage."
"However, don't be careless." Yamazaki said...
In the afternoon, the junction between Hadera region and Ores region.
While the people in Ores City were digging trenches, the Fifth Legion of Gron arrived with the weapons and equipment of the two legions. After delivering the weapons and equipment, they were so tired that they rested directly, and they were exhausted.
Ores City obtained the equipment of an alloy crossbow cavalry regiment and an alloy heavy infantry regiment. The army was reorganized into five legions, an alloy crossbow infantry regiment, an alloy heavy infantry regiment, and an ordinary heavy infantry regiment with insufficient training.
Two light infantry regiments with basically no training.
Before evening, the vandals of the Second Vandal Army arrived and were dumbfounded when they saw tens of thousands of people digging trenches and the infantry of five legions, especially the two heavy infantry regiments.
Where did it come from? There was no army in the Ores region before, and the Kingdom of Gron did not have these legions either.
However, no matter where it comes from, it is impossible to solve it quickly now...
Evening, Carthage city.
When Gelong's army approached the city, Nika the Golden Eagle attacked first, targeting the catapult. Three rounds of hurling created twenty-four streaks of gunpowder smoke.
Afterwards, Nika the golden eagle was tired and returned to Mei Daizi to receive the reward and rest.
Yamazaki did not plan to attack Carthage immediately. The Gelung army needed to rest. This was just a greeting.
Carthage City's city defense crossbow is in the compartment of the city wall. Although the golden eagle Nica can throw it, it is a bit weird compared to falling objects from high altitude, so I will let it go for now and wait until tomorrow to slowly smash it with the trebuchet.
open.
However, the city is already in chaos, the catapults are gone, and the range of the crossbows is suppressed by the opponent's powerful crossbows. How to fight this battle? Does it all rely on city defense crossbows?
Or should I risk my life to fill it?
Who is willing?
Everyone outside the city has stopped moving forward and is waiting and watching. Who can they count on inside the city?
Slaves? Surrendering to the Kingdom of Gelon will lead a better life and directly become civilians.
Civilians in the Gron Kingdom basically don't have to pay taxes unless their families are used to force them to fight. However, if they do that in front of everyone, the kingdom will not be far from complete collapse.
Rich people? Many of them seem to have gone out to sea with their whole families, right?...
October 17th, morning.
After an uneventful night, the Gron army camp welcomed a group of guests, representatives of the city of Carthage, who invited the Gron army to enter the city.
The Vandal King went on a trip last night to Sicily for vacation, bringing with him a large number of people and belongings.
Many people evacuated from Carthage by ship and burned the dockyard. Yamazaki saw it through an owl, but he didn't expect that even the king ran away.
The current situation is that as long as the Kingdom of Gron fulfills its commitments in the "Gron Declaration", Carthage will fall to the Kingdom of Gron.
Slaves can become civilians; civilians with assets within ten gold coins do not need to pay any fees; all civilians have the right to vote in city elections.
Of course, Yamazaki agreed with this and had to come out from behind the scenes to sign the contract.
Rumors about the arrival of the God of War have long been spread. The protagonist is a child, and it is said that he has been spotted by the Goddess of Retribution. However, this makes the world doubtful. However, when he actually saw it, he was not surprised.
A person recognized by the God of War will naturally be invincible, regardless of age...
Carthage.
Legend has it that Queen Dido, who was born in 839 BC, founded Carthage, a famous city through the ages, on the territory enclosed with a cowhide rope in 814 BC.
In the hands of the Vandal Kingdom, there are now less than 500,000, but this is inside and outside Carthage, and the entire Carthage area has more than one million people.
Commerce is developed, handicraft industry is developed, agriculture is developed, animal husbandry is developed, and culture is developed.
However, Yamazaki and Meidaizi did not enter the city. They had already seen it in the sky and were not curious at all.
What impressed me most was not in civilized places such as theaters, but in broad daylight, where slave owners whipped and violated slaves at will.
Maybe in this era, this is normal, but if you don't understand it, you just can't understand it.
Someone once said, I come, I see, I conquer.
Then I say now, I come, I see, I conquer, I change...
