Matthias, how do yousee?”
两天后,锡拉库扎的僭主狄奥尼修斯在他的宫殿里听完赫罗利斯的汇报,先是脸色阴沉,之后哈哈大笑:“一个小小的雇佣兵首领居然当上了什么终生执政官!马西阿斯,你怎么看?”OncewasCampaniamercenaryleaderMatthiaswore a military garb, straightstanding below head, saying of following a prescribed patternwithout hesitation: „Sir, Ithink that wellhowshouldconcentrate onas a leader of mercenariesto win a fight, wonmoney and honorforoneself, rather thanhandles the matter that somewill not handle. Althoughsuchis seemingly good, but is very easyto incur the failure, will implicate the innocentpeople.”
曾经是坎帕尼亚雇佣兵首领马西阿斯穿一身戎装,笔直的站在下首,不假思索的一板一眼的说道:“大人,我认为作为一名雇佣军的首领就应该好好的专注于如何去打赢一场战斗,为自己赢得金钱和荣誉,而不是去做一些自己根本就不会做的事情。虽然那样看起来不错,但是却很容易招致失败,而且还会拖累无辜的民众。”„Yousaidright!” The Dionysiuspraisesaid,hepats the chairback: „Isitinthisposition, every dayis trembling, does not dareto haveidlesslightly! Hostile aggressivemercenary will also anunexpectedly, whencity-stateoverstepping authoritylord!”
“你说得没错!”狄奥尼修斯夸赞道,他拍拍椅背:“我坐在这个位置上,每天都战战兢兢、不敢有丝毫懈怠!一个只会好勇斗狠的雇佣兵居然也敢当城邦僭主!”Heroliscannot bearsay: „Sir, thisDavosnotoverstepping authoritylord, butislifelongarchon that the Amendolarapeopleelect!”赫罗利斯忍不住说道:“大人,这个戴弗斯不是僭主,而是阿门多拉腊民众选举出来的终身执政官!”„Herolis, whatmeaning is your saying?!”Sharpeye of Dionysiuslike the knifelooks straight aheadHerolis.
“赫罗利斯,你这话是什么意思?!”狄奥尼修斯象刀子一样锐利的眼睛直视赫罗利斯。Herolisrealizedoneselftouchedreverse scale of Dionysiusaccidentally, immediatelyfrightens, lowers the head, does not dareto speakagain.赫罗利斯才意识到自己无意中触及了狄奥尼修斯的逆鳞,当即吓出一身冷汗,低着头,不敢再说话。Dionysiuslooked at carefullyhimcarefullysome little time, took back the vision, disdainedsaying: „Heplayed a smalltrick, can only saythisyoung peoplealsoa littlecleverness in trivial matters, no wondercanfightseveralsuccessful battles. What a pitydoes not have the foresight. Philistus, do youknow how manycitizensAmendolaradoes have?”狄奥尼修斯仔细的端详了他好一会儿,才收回目光,不屑的说道:“他不过是玩了一个小花招而已,只能说这个年轻人还有点小聪明,难怪能打几个胜仗。可惜没有远见。菲利斯托斯,你知不知道阿门多拉腊有多少公民?”Sits a makingsgracefulmiddle-aged personto sayfrom the Dionysiusrecentleft-hand side: „As far as I knowshouldless than4000citizens, naturallynowbe far lower thanthisnumber.”
距离狄奥尼修斯最近的左首坐着一位气质雍容的中年人开口说道:“据我所知应该不足四千公民,当然现在远低于这个数目。”„Youlisten, even when Amendolaranotbychaos caused by warare moststill4000citizens, but also is less than ourGreececity a citizen in blockto be many.”Dionysiusshrugs, saying that slightlydisdainsobviously.
“你们听听,就算阿门多拉腊未受战乱时最多也才四千公民,还不及我们希腊库扎城内一个街区的公民多。”狄奥尼修斯耸耸肩,略显不屑的说道。In the palaceresounds the sparselaughter.
宫殿里响起稀稀拉拉的笑声。„Thatwhatis the Davosmercenariesleaderspeed, ifcomeshere, waitedto defeatCarthage, Marsala, Palermo, Erice, the Egadiisland, matchedThiesand othercitiesto choosealong withhim, whenoverstepping authoritylord, compared with the nestinAmendolarathatsmall town, what a pityhewill not have the opportunityagain!” The Dionysiusheroic spiritfilled with say,thenlookedtoMatthias: „How can weattack the Carthagearmyto prepare?”
“那个什么叫戴弗斯的雇佣军首领速度要是来我这里,等打败了迦太基,马尔萨拉,巴勒莫,埃里切,埃加迪岛,赛杰斯塔等城市随他挑选去当僭主,也比窝在阿门多拉腊那个小城强啊,可惜他不会再有机会了!”狄奥尼修斯豪气满怀的说完,然后看向马西阿斯:“我们要进攻迦太基的军队准备得怎么样了?”„Nowhas more than 10,000mercenariesto arrive atoutside the Syracusecityto pitch camp, ourSyracusecanmobilizeat least40,000citizensoldiers, is countedCatania, Leontium, TyndarisandPatschNuseand othercity-state the armies about 20,000people...... in addition, 2000cavalries. Sir, the army that youhaveisinGreekcity-statehistoryhas never had the powerfularmy! Evenin the pastmost powerfulAthensdid not have the sohugemilitary discipline!”Matthiasexcitedsaying.
“现在已有一万多雇佣兵来到锡拉库扎城外扎营,我们锡拉库扎可以动员至少四万公民兵,算上卡塔奈、列奥提尼、陶尼斯、帕奇努斯等城邦的军队约有两万人……此外,还有两千骑兵。大人,你所拥有的军队是希腊城邦历史上从未有过的强大军队!即使是当年最强盛的雅典也没有如此庞大的军容!”马西阿斯激动的说道。Dionysiusfacial expressionactuallyobviouslytranquil, looks athisblood younger brotherLeptines: „Navyprepareshow?”狄奥尼修斯的神情却显平静,把目光转向他的亲弟弟莱普提涅斯:“海军准备的怎么样了?”AlthoughLeptineswithDionysiusis a blood brother, seems likeactuallyappearssomewhatsimple and honesthonest, in factalso is actually so. Because ofthis, Dionysiusis trustingthisyounger brother, andpromoteshimforSyracusenauarch. At this time, hereplied: „Nowthreethick liquidwarship150, in additionotherwarships, there are320big and smallwarships.”莱普提涅斯虽和狄奥尼修斯是亲兄弟,看上去却显得有些憨厚老实,事实上也却是如此。正因为这样,狄奥尼修斯才非常信赖这个弟弟,并提拔他为锡拉库扎海军统帅。这时,他答道:“现在有三层浆战船一百五十艘,加上其他战船,共有三百二十艘大小战船。”„Alsoinsufficient......”Dionysiussighed, hisfingerrapidis striking the chairback: „Youare clear, with the Carthagecombat, twoisessential- warshipandcavalry, butthisdifference/two kindswealsoinsufficient. Leptines, it seems likeyoumusturgeothercity-stateto accelerateto make the warship. As for the cavalry, Matthias, yousend peopleItalian Peninsulato recruit the Celticcavalry. Philistus, yourwhereaboutsSpartarequested,recruitssomeThessalycavalries. Wemustspeed up the progress! In the spring of next year, wemuststartto attackGela!”
“还不够啊……”狄奥尼修斯叹了口气,他的手指急促的敲打着椅背:“你们要明白,和迦太基作战,有两个是必不可少的-战船和骑兵,而这两样我们都还不够。莱普提涅斯,看来你得去督促其他城邦加速建造战船。至于骑兵,马西阿斯,你派人到亚平宁半岛上去招募凯尔特骑兵。菲利斯托斯,你去向斯巴达请求,招募一些塞萨利骑兵。诸位,我们必须加快进度!明年春天,我们就要开始进攻杰拉!”Threepeoplerespondimmediately: Will complete the task that Dionysiusgivesfull power!
三人立即做出回应:将全力完成狄奥尼修斯交给的任务!„Matthias, musttry hard! A youngmercenariesleadercanby2000annihilate the astonishingscores of thesebarbaricaborigines, wehave the Greekcity-statehugestarmyactually unable to create a biggermagnificence, thatloses face!”Dionysiusrefusedhismatter is still offendedtoDavos, thereforedroveMatthias.
“马西阿斯,要努力啊!一个小小的雇佣军首领都能凭借两千手下歼灭那些野蛮土著人的惊人战绩,我们拥有希腊城邦最庞大的军队却不能创造更大的辉煌,那就太丢脸啦!”狄奥尼修斯对戴弗斯拒绝他的事仍有介怀,于是激励马西阿斯。„Sir, pleaserelax, Iwill not disappointyou!”Matthiastook a standimmediately.
“大人,请放心,我不会让你失望!”马西阿斯当即表态。„Verygood, Matthias!”Dionysiusalsocommended, thenhewaves: „Philistusstays behind, youget down.”
“很好,马西阿斯!”狄奥尼修斯又称赞了一句,接着他挥挥手:“菲利斯托斯留下,你们都下去吧。”Herolis, Matthias, Leptinesandanothertworoyal courtiersdraw backaccordingly, the Dionysiusvisionis actually following the Herolisbackthroughout, calledhisnameuntilPhilistus.赫罗利斯、马西阿斯、莱普提涅斯和另外两位朝臣应声退下,狄奥尼修斯的目光却始终追随着赫罗利斯的背影,直到菲利斯托斯叫他的名字。„Did youthink that Herolisa littledid change?” The fingerknocks the chairback, on the Dionysiusfacebrings the haze.
“你觉不觉得赫罗利斯有点变了?”手指敲着椅背,狄奥尼修斯脸上带着阴霾。Philistushas a scare, cautiousarguedoneforHerolis: „Sir, Ihave no discovery, Herolis was like before.”菲利斯托斯吓了一跳,小心翼翼的替赫罗利斯辩解了一句:“大人,我没有什么发现啊,赫罗利斯还跟以前一样。”Dionysiuslooked athisoneeyes: „Youandherelatewell, Iknow. Ialsofondly remembervery much, whenImost difficult, herendersmyassistance, thereforeIdo not hope that anything sabotagesourfriendship!”Dionysiussomewhatsaidis moved: „......

“这只是暂时的安排……”狄奥尼修斯安慰了一句。„Feely, FilosaNuseisyourgood friend, can youaskhimto cometohere.” A Dionysiusthread of conversationrevolution, said: „Ijustwrote a poem, wantsto invitehimand you make the evaluationtogether.

“菲力,费洛萨努斯是你的好友,你能不能请他到这里来一趟。”狄奥尼修斯话锋一转,说道:“我刚写了一首诗,想请他和你一起来做评鉴。你知道的,上次我和他讨论诗歌的时候,一句话没说好,就得罪了他,有三个月没来我这里了。”„The Philoxenuspersonis good, islikesputting on airs, Ihelpyouurgehimto comewith every effort.”Philistusteasedwith a smile: „Sir, your versatilegeneralalsohaswith the ordinary citizendoes not have the means the time!”

……………………………These days, DavosandChief of MilitaryPhilesiusis bustling aboutmatters concerned that reorganizes the city-statearmy.
这段时间,戴弗斯和军务官斐利修斯忙碌着整编城邦军队的事宜。
After the mercenariesbecome the Amendolaracitizen, originallyDrakos, SestaandAdrientheyhave more than 1000soldiers, the Davoshand/subordinate more than 1800soldiers, after the slavetransfers the freeman, about300people, in addition the originalcity-statecitizenis the age limitrangepopulationaltogetherabout3500people that about250people, the Amendolaracitycanbattlenow.
雇佣军成为阿门多拉腊公民后,原来德拉科斯、塞斯塔、阿德里安克斯他们有一千多士兵,戴弗斯手下有一千八百多士兵,奴隶转为自由民后,有近三百人,再加上原来的城邦公民属于服役年龄范围的约有两百五十人,阿门多拉腊城现在能作战的人数总共大约3500人。
The originalmercenarieshighestduty( is actually Davosholds the post) for the chief, the highestestablishmentis a brigade, as increase of operationalpopulation, the originalestablishmentcannotadapt to the currentcity-stateactual situation. After DavosandPhilesius discussed that decidedto additionally buildhigherfirst-levelmilitary establishment, Davosnames as„regiment”it, highestdutylegatus, stillhadDavosto hold the post, establishes provisionally that the complementwas7000 -memeber principal forces, managedsevenbrigades( sixheavy infantrybrigadeand a light infantrybrigade), eachbrigade1000people, highestdutychief( latterwas namedas„multitude of people long”) ; A brigademanagesfiveregiments, eachregiment200people, highestdutyChiefeven/including( is namedhundredhusbandslong) ; A regimentmanagesfourdivisions, eachdivision50people, highestdutyplatoon commander.
原先雇佣军最高职务为大队长(其实就是戴弗斯自己担任),最高编制为大队,可随着作战人数的增加,原来的编制已经不能适应当前城邦的实际情况。戴弗斯和斐利修斯商议后,决定增设更高一级的军队编制,戴弗斯将其命名为“军团”,最高职务军团长,仍有戴弗斯自己担任,暂定编制人数为七千人主力部队,下辖七个大队(六个重步兵大队和一个轻步兵大队),每个大队一千人,最高职务大队长(后又被俗称为“千夫长”);一个大队下辖五个连队,每个连队两百人,最高职务连队长(又俗称百夫长);一个连队下辖四个分队,每一个分队五十人,最高职务分队长。As a result ofDavosby the influence of previous generationRome, was preparedto cancel the division, changes tohundredpeople of teams, butPhilesiusproposedopposing opinion, hethinks that the divisionquitegets the advantagein the tangled warfare and mountain ridgestand, becauseitis good in maneuverability, moreoverthere aresupport of fourdivisions, the independent combat of regimentresults in the abilityalsoconsiderablyto strengthen. After Davosconsidersrepeatedly, finallyagreed with the opinion of Philesius. From now on, the divisiontakesunder the Davosgovernance the uniquemilitary system in city-stateto be established, but the platoon commander'sinlowestfirst-levelas the military officer, plays the crucial role that in the regimentis linking the preceding with the following, was latter politely calledby the soldiersfor„soldier”. Arrivedafterward, Davosmanygeneralhand/subordinateoncetobe the team leaderto be excessively proud, Davosonceunder the military orderstipulated: Only thenholds the post ofexcessively the team leadertwoyears, has the qualificationsto promote the upperregimentposition, thismakes the position of platoon commanderdazzling, naturallythisissomething to be talked about later.
由于戴弗斯受前世罗马的影响,本来准备取消分队,改为百人队,但斐利修斯提出了反对意见,他认为分队在混战和山岭站中颇占优势,因为其更加机动灵活,而且有了四个分队的支持,连队的独立作战得能力也大大加强。戴弗斯反复斟酌后,最终同意了斐利修斯的意见。自此,分队作为戴弗斯统辖下城邦中的独特军制被确立下来,而分队长作为军官中最低的一级,起着军团中承上启下的关键作用,后被士兵们尊称为“兵头”。到后来,戴弗斯手下的不少将领都曾以担任过分队长而骄傲,以至于戴弗斯曾下军令规定:只有担任过分队长两年,才有资格晋升上一级军团职位,这使得分队长的职位更加耀眼,当然这是后话。
A divisionmanagesfivesquads, eachsquadtenpeople, highestdutyplatoon leader( latterrenamesas „ first sergeant, is held the postbyveteran). In addition, in the regiment is also equipped with the troop, the projectcamp, the medical treatment and nursingcamp, the transportation battalion......, itsregimenteffective strength may reach as high as8000, naturallynowtheseare only the tentative plans.
一个分队下辖五个小队,每小队十人,最高职务小队长(后又改称为“军士长,由老兵担任)。此外,军团中还设有骑兵队,工程营,医护营,辎重营……等,其军团实际人数可能会高达八千,当然现在这些只是设想。As a result ofAmendolaracity-statecombatpopulation, only thenapproximately3500people, Davosarrangesitisfourbrigades.
由于阿门多拉腊城邦作战人数只有约3500人,戴弗斯将其编为四个大队。
The soldiers of firstbrigadecome from the mercenary who Davosleads, the candidate of hischiefletsDavosandPhilesiusa littlehas a headache, from the ability and prestige, AntoniosandKapusis equally matched, afterwardconsideredAntoniosis being the city-statesupervisionofficer, thisisin the city-statepublic serviceis next toarchon and No. 3character of citychief executive, forin order to the balance, Davoswhenhas talkedaftertwo people, decided that is the firstchiefbyKapus.
第一大队的士兵全部来自戴弗斯所率领的雇佣兵,其大队长的人选让戴弗斯和斐利修斯有点头疼,从能力和威望上,安东尼奥斯与卡普斯不相上下,后来考虑到安东尼奥斯正担任城邦监察官,这是城邦公职中的仅次于执政官和城市行政长官的第三号人物,为了平衡起见,戴弗斯在同两人谈过话后,决定由卡普斯担任第一大队长。
