But at this moment, an astonishing news comes: A large group of Sparta army entered Aka Diaz area from north! 而就在这时,一个惊人的消息传来:一支人数众多的斯巴达军队从北面进入了阿卡狄亚地区！ Various Aka Diaz Alliance city-state congressmen in great surprise, particularly headed by Lü branch Meidesi Mantinea person. 阿卡狄亚联盟各城邦的议员们大惊,尤其是以吕科美德斯为首的曼丁尼亚人。 Won't Sparta in Aka Diaz's southeast side, how its army appear in north? 斯巴达不是在阿卡狄亚的东南面吗,怎么它的军队会出现在北面？ Originally, Sparta already gold and silver that used Persia to provide hires many soldiers in northern Greece, Ionia and Asia Minor, Persia also provided the ships to transport Greece it, but they have not arrived at coastal landing of Sparta, because of there already by Theonia fleet blockade, but entered east the isthmus Sarung bay under connivance of Athens and Corinth, entered the Corinth harbor to anchor. After the mercenaries come ashore to assemble, is led to go south by Arch Dahms. 原来,斯巴达已经用波斯提供的金银在北希腊、爱欧尼亚和小亚细亚雇佣了不少的士兵,波斯还提供船只将其运送到希腊,但是他们并没有到斯巴达的海岸登陆,因为那里已经被戴奥尼亚舰队封锁,而是在雅典、科林斯的默许下进入地峡东面的萨龙海湾,进入科林斯的海港停靠。雇佣兵上岸集结完毕之后,就由阿奇达姆斯率领南下。 Lü branch Meidesi was anxious, because of the Mantinea's northeastern part situated in Aka Diaz area, is situated in the road which must be taken of Sparta army, moreover Mantinea as the initiator of Aka Diaz Alliance, is thorn in the side of Sparta person. 吕科美德斯急了,因为曼丁尼亚位于阿卡狄亚地区的东北部,正是处于斯巴达军队的必经之路,而且曼丁尼亚作为阿卡狄亚联盟的倡导者,更是斯巴达人的眼中钉、肉中刺。 Lü branch Meidesi raised a hue and cried in the alliance: „The Sparta person in the army who under the help of Persia forms, without allowing to enter in Aka Diaz arbitrarily, does not come for the peace, they are destroy by Sparta are regarded as Aka Diaz Alliance of threat, they must enslave Aka Diaz artificial Sparta benefit to fight! If Aka Diaz Alliance does not become the union with Theonia as soon as possible, making the Theonia army prevent the savage Sparta employment army, then the be established shortly after alliance will perish quickly, but the support will establish everyone of alliance also to become the ghost under Sparta club!” 吕科美德斯在联盟中大声疾呼:“斯巴达人在波斯的帮助下组建的大军,未经允许擅自进入阿卡狄亚境内,绝不是为和平而来,他们是来摧毁被斯巴达视为威胁的阿卡狄亚联盟,他们要重新奴使阿卡狄亚人为斯巴达的利益而战！如果阿卡狄亚联盟不尽快与戴奥尼亚结为同盟,让戴奥尼亚军队去阻止凶残的斯巴达雇佣军队,那么才成立没多久的联盟很快就会灭亡,而支持成立联盟的所有人也将成为斯巴达棍棒下的冤魂！” Lü branch Meidesi words make the congressmen change countenance, then they also obtain the news: The Sparta army soldiers who invade Aka Diaz destroyed and devastated Phlius's land wantonly. 吕科美德斯的话让议员们动容,接着他们又得到消息:侵入阿卡狄亚的斯巴达军队士兵大肆破坏和蹂躏了弗利奥斯的土地。 Finally, Aka Diaz Alliance approves this agreement by the weak many advantages. 终于,阿卡狄亚联盟以微弱多条的优势通过这个协议。 In 370 B. C. the early spring( the Kingdom of Theonia 24 th year), Aka Diaz Alliance and Theonia became the union, later Crotokatax led the first, fourth, sixth regiment and mountain ridge reconnaissance group and first cavalry corps and half seventh regiment( to have 3000 soldiers to guard beautiful Senia), altogether approximately 32,000 soldiers marched to north, enter Aka Di area inferior (Asia). 公元前370年初春(戴奥尼亚王国第二十四年),阿卡狄亚联盟和戴奥尼亚结为同盟,随后克洛托卡塔克斯率领第一、第四、第六军团、山岭侦察大队、第一骑兵军团、半个第七军团(有3000名士兵驻守美塞尼亚),共约32,000名士兵向北行军,进入阿卡狄地区亚。 At this time, the Sparta mercenaries who Arch Dahms leads have been attacking Mantinea, Spartan’s Gerousia pro- Sparta from north neighbor have sent in the mouth to know „Aka Diaz Alliance with Theonia will form an alliance” the news, leader Mantinea who the unusual hatred will form an alliance, because hired the prompt arrival of army to encourage their confidence, they decided first to cause heavy losses to Mantinea, shocked Aka Diaz Alliance, forcing it to reverse to Sparta. 此时,阿奇达姆斯率领的斯巴达雇佣军已经在进攻曼丁尼亚,斯巴达长老议事会已经从北面邻居中的亲斯巴达派口中得知了“阿卡狄亚联盟将与戴奥尼亚结盟”的消息,非常痛恨结盟的主导者曼丁尼亚,由于雇佣大军的及时到来助长了他们的信心,他们决定抢先重创曼丁尼亚,震慑阿卡狄亚联盟,逼迫其重新倒向斯巴达。 The Sparta person dares to make such decision, is the army that because this consumption large amount of money forms has 8000 heavy infantries, mainly hires from Miletus, Ephesus, Summers, Chios, Rice Bose, Syria and others belonged to Greek city-state of Persia Asia Minor western coast area ; 4500 Thrace peltasts, mainly hire from situated in various Macedonia kingdoms north, close to Aegean Sea and situated in Luo many Pishan lineage/vein nearby Thrace tribes ; 1500 cavalries mainly hire from the Macedonia kingdom ; 1200 archers and stone soldiers come from Corlett and Rhodes, in addition more than 4000 light armor-clad soldiers come from various Ionia islands in Aegean Sea...... altogether are more than 20,000 soldiers, every month at least needs to put in 10,000 Darica gold coin and grain of consumption not its number, naturally these are provided by Persians. 斯巴达人之所以敢做出这样的决定,是因为这支耗费巨资组建的军队拥有8000名重步兵,主要雇佣自米利都、以弗所、萨摩斯、希俄斯、莱斯博斯、伊欧里亚等归属于波斯小亚细亚西部沿海地区的希腊城邦;4500名色雷斯轻盾兵,主要雇佣自位于马其顿王国以北、靠近爱琴海、位于罗多皮山脉附近的色雷斯各部落;1500名骑兵主要雇佣自马其顿王国;1200名弓箭手和投石兵来自克里特和罗德岛,此外还有4000多名轻甲兵来自爱琴海中的爱欧尼亚各岛屿……总共是2万多名士兵,每月至少需要付出1万枚达利克金币、消耗不尽其数的粮食,当然这些都是由波斯人提供。 Arch Dahms leads such a for the 1st time large group , the branch of the services complete army, he to captures Mantinea to be confident in the short time. 阿奇达姆斯第一次率领这样一支人数众多、兵种齐全的军队,他对在短时间内攻下曼丁尼亚充满信心。 But after he commands the army to enter the Mantinea territory, Mantinea People have hidden in into the city completely, therefore flatter Dahms starts the storm Mantinea city together. He thinks by superior force that oneself have, should be able to capture the Mantinea city quickly, but has not thought that actually experienced a hard setback. 但当他率军进入曼丁尼亚领地之后,曼丁尼亚民众早已全部躲入城内,于是阿齐达姆斯开始强攻曼丁尼亚城。他原本以为以自己拥有的优势兵力,应该可以很快攻陷曼丁尼亚城,但没想到却碰了一个硬钉子。 Once Mantinea city was washed away with the flood by Sparta, after going into exile many years of Mantinea people returned to the homeland, does not make their city again by the Sparta person be captured, therefore they conducted the ingenious design to the new town. 曾经的曼丁尼亚城被斯巴达用大水冲毁,流亡多年的曼丁尼亚人重返家园之后,是绝不让他们的城市再被斯巴达人攻陷,于是他们对新城进行了巧妙的设计。 Mantinea person selected a Olfers river bank topography very high place as constructing the city place, then still dug a river course in neighbor newly, making the Olfers river construct the city upstream to divide into two, bypasses the new city, met in the downstream, was the huge threat rivers after so transformed became the natural moat of city. 曼丁尼亚人选取了奥菲斯河畔一处地势很高的地方作为建城地,然后还在附近新挖了一个河道,使奥菲斯河在建城地上游一分为二,绕过新城址,在下游会合,原本是巨大威胁的河流经过如此改造后成为城市的天然护城河。 They also laid the solid stone system ground for the entire city, the city wall is also builds by the brick bat completely, but the city wall is not complete continuously, because the entire city was divided into 10 independent parts, the city wall of each part does not connect with another part, but also has the place of mutual overlapping, this overlapped place is equipped with the city gate, therefore the Mantinea new town has 10 city gates. 他们还为整座城市打下了坚实的石制地基,城墙也全部是由砖块堆砌,但是城墙并不是完整连续的,因为整个城区被分成十个独立的部分,每一个部分的城墙与另一部分并不连接,但是又有相互重叠之处,这重叠的地方就设有城门,因此曼丁尼亚新城有十座城门。 The so unique and irregular city to the Sparta army, needing city area capture, can seize the entire city completely. But but the height of Mantinea city wall basis topography independent characteristics, not only keeps the superior force of Sparta person from fully launching, and will make the soldier of attacking a city suffer to defend side more than side long-distance attacks, has a Olfers river as the barrier let alone. 如此独特又不规则的城池对斯巴达军队来说,必须要一个一个城区都攻陷下来,才能完全占领整座城市。而曼丁尼亚城墙依据地势的高低而各自独立的特点,既让斯巴达人的优势兵力无法充分展开,又会让攻城的士兵遭受到防御一方多个侧面的远程攻击,更何况还有一条奥菲斯河作为屏障。 Arch Dahms launched several attacks with the Greek traditional attacking a city method to the Mantinea city, not only has not made any progress, instead the casualties some soldiers, forcing him to change the storm to siege, and sends the messenger to return to the Sparta report combat situation. 阿奇达姆斯用希腊传统的攻城方法对曼丁尼亚城发起了几次进攻,不但没有取得任何进展,反而伤亡了一些士兵,迫使他不得不改强攻为围困,并且派信使返回斯巴达汇报战情。 But at the same time, Crotokatax has commanded the army to enter southwest Aka Diaz, this region belongs to Aka Diaz area rare rough terrain, Hulley Sun River passed through the entire region from south to north. Has Aka Diaz person to hold main Holy Mountain of religious ceremony in its middle mountain ridge- Lü Kaang, but Aka Diaz Alliance in newly-built small and medium town Megalopolis between Hulley east bank of Sun River and Lü Kaang Holy Mountain. 而与此同时,克洛托卡塔克斯已经率军进入阿卡狄亚西南部,这一片区域属于阿卡狄亚地区难得的丘陵地带,赫利森河由南至北贯穿了整个区域。在其中部偏东的山岭中有阿卡狄亚人举行宗教祭祀仪式的主要圣山-吕卡昂,而阿卡狄亚联盟正在新建的中心城镇迈加洛波利斯就位于赫利森河的东岸与吕卡昂圣山之间。 As a result of the war eruption of Sparta person, the construction of Megalopolis new town has stopped, only builds half as the city wall of city outline, just raised up more than ten porch pillars to Aka Diaz person most important Zeus temple...... in the city everywhere obviously the scaffold of build and everywhere the stone material of stack, only then a building, although crude has actually constructed to complete, that is the meeting hall of Aka Diaz Alliance, it is the foundation that the entire alliance has, three congressman for a long time here life that each city-state people elect, and defer to the rule that the alliance formulates, discussed and decides the diplomacy and military affairs in alliance together. 由于和斯巴达人的战争爆发,迈加洛波利斯新城的修建已经停止,作为城市轮廓的城墙只修筑到一半,对阿卡狄亚人最重要的宙斯神庙才刚刚竖起十几根廊柱……城区内到处可见搭建的脚手架和满地堆放的石料,只有一个建筑虽然简陋却早已经建造完成,那就是阿卡狄亚联盟的议事厅,它是整个联盟存在的基础,各个城邦民众推选出的三名议员长期在此生活,并按照联盟制定的规则,共同商议和决定联盟内的外交和军事事务。 At this moment, the congressmen of dozens alliances went out of the Megalopolis city together, stands looks into the distance to south in the high place: Sees only the distant place innumerable Theonia soldiers to dress the excellent consistent armor and weapon, arranges the neat garrison, bridges over them rapidly the bateau-bridge that builds in Hulley Sun River, although the sound of footsteps and armor collision sound is quite noisy, the dust and fog flies upwards to fill the air, but rarely some people sounds clamored the complaint, the entire army looked like a silent black long line, did not stand is still hovering forward...... 此刻,几十名联盟的议员一起走出了迈加洛波利斯城,站在高处向南眺望:只见远处无数戴奥尼亚士兵穿戴着精良一致的盔甲和武器,排列成整齐的纵队,跨过他们迅速在赫利森河上搭建的浮桥,尽管脚步声、盔甲碰撞声颇为嘈杂,尘雾飞扬弥漫,但很少有人大声喧哗抱怨,整支军队就像是一条沉默的黑色长龙,不停歇的向前游动着…… Aka Congressman Diaz stood were looking into the distance some little time, is unable to see the head of this long line, could not see its tail, in heart some impressively. 阿卡狄亚议员们站着眺望了好一会儿,既无法看到这条长龙的头,也望不见它的尾,心中都有些赫然。 At this time, that long line branched out one, directly to northbound. When is close to them quickly, the frontline rides the big tall horse, to wear the golden color to withstand/top the young high-ranking military officer of crown to raise the right hand, wields, then his behind army stops going forward instantaneously, the soldiers stand...... those images and scenes to make the congressmen be surprised silently again. 这时,那长龙又分出了一支,径直向北行来。快接近他们时,最前方骑着高头大马、头戴金色顶冠的年轻将官举起右手,又挥下,接着他身后的军队瞬间停止前进,士兵们都静默站立……此情此景再次让议员们感到吃惊。 Lü branch Meidesi goes down the high place immediately, goes to greet, other congressmen also follow. 吕科美德斯立即走下高处,前去迎接,其他议员们也紧随其后。 Crotokatax also discontinues, is leading Purin Towles, Crue and palace guards welcomes goes forward. 克洛托卡塔克斯也下了马,带领着普林托尔斯、穆克鲁和宫廷卫士们迎上前。 „General Crotokatax, thanked your promptness to help!” Lü branch Meidesi serious bends the waist to salute to Prince Theonia. “克洛托卡塔克斯将军,非常感谢你的及时来援！”吕科美德斯郑重的向戴奥尼亚王子弯腰行礼。 Crotokatax hurries to support him, and sincere saying: „Sir Lü branch Meidesi, now Aka Diaz Alliance and Theonia are the allies, this is we should do! Please feel relieved, according to the Theonia military law, our soldiers not at the matter that on the land of ally makes any destruction two countries people friendship! If really has the soldier of violation, they will certainly severely be punished!” 克洛托卡塔克斯赶紧将他扶住,并且真诚的说道:“吕科美德斯大人,如今阿卡狄亚联盟和戴奥尼亚是盟友,这本就是我们应该做的！请你们放心,按照戴奥尼亚的军法,我们的士兵不会在盟友的土地上做任何破坏两国民众友谊的事情！如果真有违反的士兵,他们必将受到严厉的惩罚！” This saying, many Aka Congressman Diaz relax. 这话一出,不少阿卡狄亚议员们心里松了口气。 Suddenly, in the congressman has the people sound to ask: „How many soldiers did you send?” 冷不丁,议员中有人大声问道:“你们派来了多少士兵？” Purin Towles continued: „ Considering Aka Diaz mountainous region are many, the military is not easy to launch, we only brought more than 30,000 soldiers, in the beautiful Senia also leaves leeway more than 10,000 guarding( Purin Towles calculates the fleet infantries of Messenians and first fleet). 普林托尔斯接过话头:“考虑到阿卡狄亚山地多,兵力不易展开,我们只带来了3万多名士兵,美塞尼亚境内还留有1万多名驻守(普林托尔斯是将美塞尼亚人和第一舰队的舰队步兵都计算在内)。 Most congressmen sucked in cold air, immediately exudes the sound of sobbing: More than 40,000 have the soldier of complete equipment! They have also never seen a huge army since birth! No wonder the Theonia marching army winds such long, cannot see completely from beginning to end! 多数议员们都倒抽了一口凉气,随即发出唏嘘之声:4万多有着完整装备的士兵！他们有生以来还从未见过如此庞大的一支军队！难怪戴奥尼亚的行军部队蜿蜒如此之长,完全看不到头尾！ Must know that the army that presents such quantity in Greece previous time Greco-Persian Wars when hundred years ago, various Greek city-state gathered more than 100,000 soldiers( heavy infantry for 2/5 of total number of people) fights a decisive battle in Platia and Persians ; Again is dozens years ago Peloponnesian War, it is said Athens sent out approximately 30,000 people of armies, expedition Sicily Syracuse, finally fails badly. 要知道上一次在希腊本土出现这样数量的军队还是在百年前希波战争之时,希腊各城邦聚集了10万多名士兵(重步兵为总人数的五分之二)在普拉蒂亚与波斯人决战;再一次就是几十年前的伯罗奔尼撒战争,据说雅典派出了约3万人的军队,远征西西里的锡拉库扎,最后遭受惨败。 But this twice passage of time, they personally have not seen, a few congressmen personal experiences Leuktra who only then had a short time ago engages in a decisive battle, the Peloponnese allied armies more than 10,000 people who Sparta leads, the warring parties altogether approximately 20,000 people, are one engage in a decisive battle in their eyes broad in scale. 但这两次年久日远,他们都没有亲眼所见,少数议员们亲身经历的只有前不久才发生的留克特拉会战,斯巴达率领的伯罗奔尼撒联军1万多人,交战双方总共约2万人,在他们眼中已经是一场规模宏大的会战了。
