Di many have not thought what this Theonia official proposed was such an idea, suddenly was shy, agitated, to worry about, angrily...... the innumerable mood to rub one group of messes in the heart. 狄多没想到这位戴奥尼亚官员提出的是这样一个主意,一时间羞涩、烦躁、担忧、恼怒……无数种情绪在心中揉成了一团乱麻。 Carthage and Greece are somewhat similar in marital, the marital important matter was basically decided by the elder. But regarding Di many, the situation is special, her mother dies early, the father falls into the stupor now . Moreover the father loves her, had agreed that makes her own choose the husband, otherwise she will not have married in 24 years old of such big age, therefore marries now with does not marry decided by her own completely. She has not thought the future that own marriage handles jointly with father's life and death and south family's rise and fall as well as myriad Iberia the people will link. 迦太基和希腊在婚姻方面有些类似,婚姻大事基本都是由长辈来决定。但对于狄多而言,情况特殊,她母亲早死,父亲现在又陷入昏迷,而且父亲宠爱她,早就同意让她自己挑选丈夫,否则她也不会在24岁这么大的年纪还未嫁出去,所以现在嫁与不嫁完全由她自己来决定。只是她万万没有想到自己的婚姻会同父亲的生死、家族的兴亡以及万千伊比利亚南部民众的未来联系在一起。 How intelligent such as she will unable to see that this is King Theonia and designs the good snare, but this moment state of mind myriad, does not want to reveal, does not dare to make the choice rashly. 聪慧如她又怎会看不出这是戴奥尼亚国王及其手下设计好的圈套,但她此刻心绪万千,既不想去揭穿,也不敢贸然做出抉择。 After she visits Magon that remains unconscious again, finally made the decision, agrees to marry Prince Theonia Crotokatax. 但是当她再一次探望昏迷不醒的玛哥之后,终于还是做出了决定,同意嫁给戴奥尼亚王子克洛托卡塔克斯。 The original Carthage Iberia southern new colony merges into the Kingdom of Theonia incident also to make a final decision quickly. 原迦太基的伊比利亚南部新殖民地并入戴奥尼亚王国一事也很快敲定下来。 Two days later, Henie Polis sees to return to again, so when suddenly Cleeton, „Iberia south colony people will join Kingdom of Theonia voluntarily” the news told him directly, and announced: Since the Iberia colony is not in the range of negotiations, the kingdom request increases a negotiations condition newly, Dru gate Toome and territory ownership in Theonia. 两天之后,赫尼波里斯再见到重返利利俾的俄克里顿时,将“伊比利亚南部殖民地民众自愿加入戴奥尼亚王国”的消息直接告诉了他,并且宣布:既然伊比利亚殖民地已经不在谈判的范围内,王国要求新增加一个谈判条件,哈德鲁门图姆及其领地归属于戴奥尼亚。 Revolting of Magonid virtue family makes suddenly Cleeton be startled, however this time Carthage cannot take care of oneself, where is also capable of crusading against in Iberia several hundred li (0.5 km) away, he can only color severe Neicha expressed the protest to Henie Polis: The Magonid virtue families that only if Theonia will commit treason hand over, otherwise the Carthage rejection negotiated with Theonia again. 马戈尼德家族的叛变让俄克里顿大吃一惊,然而此时的迦太基自顾不暇,哪里还有能力去讨伐远在几百里以外的伊比利亚,他只能色厉内茬的向赫尼波里斯表示抗议:除非戴奥尼亚将叛国的马戈尼德家族交出来,否则迦太基拒绝再与戴奥尼亚进行谈判。 both sides part on bad terms. 双方不欢而散。 Has learning from another's mistakes of Dru gate Thum, some Luse Pinat as example, safe Sos only in besieged 2nd day surrenders on Kaesong. 有哈德鲁门图姆的前车之鉴,又有鲁斯皮纳作为榜样,泰普索斯仅在被围攻后的第二天就开城投降。 Alexius makes the army make the recuperation slightly, namely commands the army westbound. Two days later, in being away from the Ardea present city inside and outside ten Xiayingpan. 阿莱克西斯让军队稍作休整,即率军西进。两天后,在距离阿迪斯城十里外扎下营盘。 Alexius has not launched the attack immediately, but is to make the soldiers build the camp, while sends the mounted scout and mountain ridge reconnaissance squad detailed investigation enemy intelligence and surrounding geographical environment. 阿莱克西斯并没有立刻发起进攻,而是一边让士兵们修筑营地,一边派侦骑和山岭侦察小队详细探查敌情及周围地理环境。 Satsuma Ersi in Ardea present city knew the news that the Theonia army approaches, felt very anxious, the order army can not attack and strengthen the defense. 在阿迪斯城的萨摩尔斯得知戴奥尼亚军队逼近的消息,感到了十分紧张,命令军队不得出击、加强防御。 both sides confront to early February. During this period, the Carthage west Phoenicia allied country sends the reinforcements to arrive one after another, causes to defend the governing Ardea Carthage military to increase to more than 20,000 people. 双方对峙至2月初。在此期间,迦太基西面的腓尼基盟邦相继派遣援兵到达,使得守御阿迪斯的迦太基兵力增至2万多人。 But at the same time, Satsuma Ersi also obtained a bad news: Presented a large group of Nummi Biya army in Ardea southern Sri Lanka. 但与此同时,萨摩尔斯也得到了一个坏消息:在阿迪斯的南面出现了一支人数众多的努米比亚军队。 Although Carthage council also sent out many envoys before, rushes to the eastern Nummi Biya domestic tribes, using relations that before established, permits by various advantage, attempted to lobby them remains neutral. However eastern Nummi Biya various tribes had established the union with Theonia, the discerning people can see Carthage let alone at this time already sunset Xishan, how they will let off this to beat severely don't hit a person when he's down, to enable the eastern Nummi Biya person thoroughly to shake off the Carthage control the golden opportunity. 尽管之前迦太基元老院也派出了不少使者,赶到东努米比亚境内各部落,利用以前建立的关系,许以各种好处,企图游说他们保持中立。但是东努米比亚各部落已经与戴奥尼亚建立了同盟,更何况此时明眼人都能看出迦太基已经日落西山,他们又怎会放过这个痛打落水狗、使东努米比亚人彻底摆脱迦太基控制的大好机会。 Therefore eastern Nummi Biya various tribes gathered more than 15,000 soldiers finally, the plan hurried to Dru gate Thum, met with the Theonia army, but Alexius actually sends the messenger to order them to march to the Carthage city from the south directly. 因此东努米比亚各部落最终聚集了15,000多名战士,本打算赶去哈德鲁门图姆,与戴奥尼亚军队会合,但阿莱克西斯却派信使命令他们直接从南面向迦太基城进军。 Meanwhile, Alexius moves to the west own camp again, is less than 5 li (0.5 km) from the Ardea present city. 与此同时,阿莱克西斯将自己的营地再向西移,距离阿迪斯城不到五里。 Satsuma Ersi falls into during the difficult choice. When originally he hears the eastern Nummi Biya army approaches, to avoid encountering both sides converging attack, he has started to prepare: First leaves behind part of armies to guard Ardea, oneself lead the main force to rush to the south quietly rapidly, first routs the population, although many, but the strength not strong eastern Nummi Biya person, then hurries back, confronts with the Theonia army again. 萨摩尔斯陷入困难的选择之中。原本当他听到东努米比亚军队逼近时,为了避免遭到两面夹击,他已经开始筹划:先留下一部分军队驻守阿迪斯,自己悄悄率领主力迅速赶往南面,先击溃人数虽多、但实力并不强的东努米比亚人,再赶回来,重新与戴奥尼亚军队对峙。 However the Theonia army moves ahead the camp to the Ardea present city under suddenly, means that in the city the reassignment of Carthage army is very difficult to hide the truth from the eye of Theonian, once the army main force goes to attack the eastern Nummi Biya person, might encounter the Theonian converging attack. 但是戴奥尼亚军队突然将营地前移至阿迪斯城下,意味着城内迦太基军队的调动很难瞒过戴奥尼亚人的眼睛,一旦军队主力前去进攻东努米比亚人,很可能会遭到戴奥尼亚人的夹击。 When Satsuma Ersi is weak, another bad news comes: Another Theonia army( in fact was composite troops that some Theonia tenth regiment brigade and Sicily fleet infantry composed, population is close to 10,000 people) landing in the Carthage west coast, surrounded Tos city( diarrhytos, Phoenicia city-state, in Carthage city west surface, from the approximately 100 li (0.5 km), with Utikka neighboring), Tos hurried to send the envoy to request reinforcements to Carthage, and requested to recall its before to reinforce the Carthage citizen soldier. 萨摩尔斯正犹豫不定之时,又一个坏消息传来:另一支戴奥尼亚军队(实际上是戴奥尼亚第十军团部分大队和西西里舰队步兵组成的混合部队,人数接近1万人)在迦太基西面海岸登陆,包围了戴瑞托斯城(diarrhytos,腓尼基城邦,在迦太基城西面,距离其约100里,与乌蒂卡相邻),戴瑞托斯慌忙派使者向迦太基求援,并要求调回其之前增援迦太基的公民兵。 Satsuma Ersi knows west Phoenicia city-state, because after requisition lots of citizen soldiers, each one military are void, perhaps cannot defend attacking a city of Theonia army, if Carthage cannot rescue promptly, the entire west coast will have the possibility of falling to the enemy like the east side, but currently Carthage eastern and southern both sides have the archenemy to approach, as the Carthage only competent army, how he dares to lead him to leave. 萨摩尔斯知道西面的腓尼基城邦由于被征调了大量的公民兵之后,个个兵力空虚,恐怕不能够防御戴奥尼亚军队的攻城,如果迦太基不能及时救援,整个西面的海岸就会像东面一样有沦陷的可能,但是现在迦太基东、南两面都有大敌逼近,作为迦太基唯一一支有实力的军队,他又怎么敢率领其离开。 However sits by and does nothing is not the good way, because the news only possibly blocks for a while, the time grew, making these Phoenicia allied country soldiers in army know that their mother-state already or may encounter the Theonia attack the news, certainly will leave the army, to hurry back to mother-state without hesitation, by that time the army lost 13 or more military, this war that defends Carthage was more difficult to hit. 但是坐视不管也不是好办法,因为消息只可能封锁一时,时间长了,让军中的这些腓尼基盟邦士兵得知他们的母邦已经或可能会遭到戴奥尼亚进攻的消息,一定都会毫不犹豫的离开军队、赶回母邦,到那时军队失去了13或更多的兵力,这场保卫迦太基的战争就更难打下去了。 Satsuma Ersi makes up mind finally. He hurries back to Carthage, stated to council the danger that the army faces now, proposed must solve the current difficult position, the best way the citizen soldiers while Phoenicia allied country also , the adventure and east the Ardea present city Theonia army conducts a decisive battle, after it routs, again leads the army of victory to beat the eastern Nummi Biya person who catches up with, the crisis that Carthage faces is relieving most probably, finally was turning back in order to help friendly forces the Phoenicia allied country. 萨摩尔斯终于拿定了主意。他赶回迦太基,向元老院陈述了军队现在所面临的危险,提出要解决目前的困境,最好的办法就是趁着腓尼基盟邦的公民兵还在,冒险与阿迪斯城东面的戴奥尼亚军队进行一场决战,将其击溃之后,再率领胜利之军击败正在赶来的东努米比亚人,迦太基所面临的危机就解除了大半,最后在回援腓尼基盟邦。 The senior statesmen undergo an argument, finally agreed to his proposition, just like Hanno(Hannonian) said: „......, although this is a huge adventure, but at least also has a slim chance of survival, the total ratio accomplishes nothing, whatever Theonian step by step sieges Carthage with large army, until destroys to be better finally......” 元老们经过一番争论,最终同意了他的提议,正如汉诺所说的:“……尽管这是一个巨大的冒险,但至少还有一线生机,总比无所作为、任由戴奥尼亚人一步一步的将迦太基重兵围困、直至最后毁灭要好……” In order to increase the odds of success, council conducted the emergency mobilization. 为了增加胜算,元老院进行了紧急动员。 When Satsuma Ersi returns to the Ardea present city again, brought back to 3000 soldiers, they will not be the old person, are the youngster, Carthage for the forthcoming decisive battle, used the full power. 萨摩尔斯再返回阿迪斯城时,又带回了三千名士兵,他们不是老人、就是少年,迦太基为了即将开始的决战,倾尽了全力。 Although Ardea is not far from Carthage, but this unusual 3000 soldiers are not a small number, will be found out by secret inquiry by the Theonia mounted scout quickly, and returned to give Alexius. 阿迪斯虽然距离迦太基并不远,但这不同寻常的3000名士兵并不是个小数目,会快就被戴奥尼亚侦骑所探知,并回报给了阿莱克西斯。 Alexius that 2nd day early morning, just got out of bed receives the return of mounted scout: The Carthage army is going out of the Ardea present city unceasingly, marches to the direction of camp. 第二天清晨,刚刚起床的阿莱克西斯又接到侦骑的回报:迦太基军队正不断的走出阿迪斯城,向营地的方向行军。 Has persevered in the Ardea Carthage army goes out of town suddenly!...... Alexius is not surprised, as before according to the beforehand rhythm, earnest washing, the leisure finishing eating breakfast, after dressing the armor...... all prepared to be appropriate, this called Purin Towles, brings the convoy guard, as well as 300 Nummi Biya cavalry, spread the camp. 一直坚守在阿迪斯的迦太基军队突然出城了！……阿莱克西斯却并不感到吃惊,依旧按照之前的节奏,认真的洗漱,慢条斯理的吃完早餐,穿戴好盔甲……一切都准备妥当之后,这才叫来普林托尔斯,带着护卫队,以及300名西努米比亚骑兵,驰出营地。 Went forward merely many three li (0.5 km) to the west, hears the noisy sound that the front transmits, sees the tens of thousands of Carthage soldiers' platoon formation on the smooth lawn...... 向西仅仅前进了三里多地,就听到前方传来的嘈杂声响,看到成千上万的迦太基士兵正在平坦的草地上排列阵型…… Alexius both hands grasp the reins, on the face have the happy expression, turns head to say to Purin Towles: „It seems like just as we expected, Carthaginians impatient asked us to conduct the decisive battle.” 阿莱克西斯双手握着缰绳,脸上带着笑意,扭头对普林托尔斯说道:“看来正如我们所预料的,迦太基人已经迫不及待的来找我们进行决战了。” „This is the obvious matter, after all they can only choose this road, perhaps also a little hopes.” Purin Towles is staring at the front solemn, said: „But because of this, has also placed the hopeless situation Carthaginians definitely will use full power wins this war, even if we surpass them in the strength, do not look down upon them, moreover I believe that even if we will win finally will still pay a big price...... commander Sir, I suggested that best will be avoids at this time and Carthaginians fights a decisive battle, waits several days later, when the Meri mountain will reach legatus their army will attack and occupy Phoenicia city-state after west one after another, the strength of this Carthage army will definitely encounter weakens, morale inevitably is also low, by that time we will march again, the victory can come easily.” “这是显而易见的事,毕竟他们只能选择这条路,或许还有一点希望。”普林托尔斯神情肃穆的凝视着前方,说道:“但也正因为如此,已经身处绝境的迦太基人必然会倾尽全力的打赢这一仗,即使我们在实力上超过他们,也一定不要小视他们,而且我相信即使我们最后获胜也会付出不小的代价……指挥官大人,我建议最好是避免此时与迦太基人进行决战,等再过几天,等梅利山达军团长他们的军队在西面接连攻占腓尼基城邦之后,这支迦太基军队的实力必然会遭到削弱、士气也必然低落,到那时我们再进军,胜利会来得更加容易。” Alexius was lost in thought that crossed some little time, he shook the head saying: „Purin Towles, perhaps your suggestion is right, but I cannot accept. We refuse to engage in a decisive battle, after wants waits for Carthage these Phoenicia allied country soldiers to escape, to attack, but by that time the Carthage army faced with us and combined attack of eastern Nummi Biya person, will extremely possibly give up Ardea retreating the Carthage city directly. The Carthage city tall wall is thick, in the city is populous, occupies the advantageous topography, even if we add on the fourth regiment all fleet infantries, to have Nummi Biya person, besieges Carthage several months, is not necessarily able to capture it.” 阿莱克西斯陷入沉思,过了好一会儿,他摇头说道:“普林托尔斯,也许你的建议是对的,但是我不能采纳。我们拒绝会战,想等着迦太基的那些腓尼基盟邦士兵都逃掉后再进攻,可到那时迦太基军队面临我们与东努米比亚人的联合进攻,极可能会放弃阿迪斯而直接退守迦太基城。迦太基城高墙厚,城内人口众多,又占据有利地势,我们即使加上第四军团所有舰队步兵、还有努米比亚人,围攻迦太基几个月,都未必能将其攻下。” At this point, Alexius sighed: The fleet head who „ the day before yesterday sent the military provisions did not say, because the tenth regiment they also landed Africa, the demand of military baggage supplies increased, stores up, so that has used up with Sellin Nuse's military provisions reserve, your majesty has sent people to inform Catania and Thurii urgent arrangement huge number military provisions...... also has again, this season sea area storm between Sicily and Africa was big, the fleet has encountered the storm in the transportation process repeatedly, lost more than 10 ships...... 说到这里,阿莱克西斯叹息了一声:“前天来运送军粮的船队负责人不是说了吗,由于第十军团他们也登陆了阿非利加,辎重供给的需求大增,囤积在利利俾和塞林努斯的军粮储备都已经用完,陛下已经派人通知卡塔奈和图里伊再紧急筹备数量巨大的军粮……还有,这个季节西西里与阿非利加之间的海域风浪较大,船队在运输过程中已经多次遭遇风浪,损失了十多条船了…… The war continues, the loss that our Theonia bears is also getting bigger and bigger. Now has the opportunity to beat the Carthage main force army at one fell swoop, will soon end the war, why we must give up! Also...... we held troops here were so long, Amintas they have the opinion very much, if avoided this battle again, instead waited for the west 10 th regiment their victory, perhaps these arrogant soldiers of first, second, third regiment must come out to protest, therefore this engaged in a decisive battle we to hit! ” 战争持续下去,我们戴奥尼亚所承受的损失也越来越大。现在有机会一举击溃迦太基的主力军队,早日结束战争,我们为什么要放弃！再说……我们在这里按兵不动了这么久,阿明塔斯他们已经很有意见了,如果再回避这场会战,反而去等待西面的第十军团他们的战果,第一、第二、第三军团的那些高傲的士兵们恐怕都得出来抗议了,所以这场会战我们必须要打！” Purin Towles listens, thought that is very reasonable, said immediately: „Commander Sir, I am your staff officer officer, to you proposed that the different suggestions, for reference are my responsibility, since you have made the choice, we start to prepare this battle.” 普林托尔斯听完,觉得很有道理,当即说道:“指挥官大人,我是你的参谋官,给你提出不同的建议、供你参考是我的职责,既然你已经做出了抉择,那我们就开始准备这场会战吧。”
