由于没有充足的时间修筑完整的防御营地,雅典军队更多的是依靠居高临下的地理优势来进行防御,但无论是卢卡尼亚人、萨莫奈人、还是高卢人都是凶悍的山地种族,在山区作战本就是他们的强项,更何况现在又有了戴奥尼亚优质的盔甲武器作为凭依,人数还占优,激战了大半天,就攻破了防线。Especially the Gaulgrasps the fierceappearance that big, swordkillswith raw hateto make the Athenssoldierscared, theyare retreatingalsopublicize the fearfulness of enemyunrestrainedly, the people that causetownFeelynot far from Parnithawere also scared, bring along one's familyto follow the routed troopto escapetogether, making the army that Litomleadsseizethissmall townsmoothly, thencontinuesto go south, quicksurroundsanothersmall townbeautifulKaHounau.
尤其是高卢人手持大、剑凶狠砍杀的狰狞模样令雅典士兵胆寒,他们在溃逃中还情不自禁的宣扬敌军的可怕,导致距离帕尼萨山不远的城镇菲利的民众也被吓坏,携家带口跟随溃兵一起逃亡,使得利扎鲁率领的军队顺利的占领了这座小镇,然后继续南下,很快又将另一座小镇美迦罗乌诺包围。Thissmall town'speopleescapewithout enough time, has tomake the desperateresistance, the beautifulKaHounau'sresistanceis not unproductive, theydefendedin the southwontimefor the Athenssoldiers and mercenaries, particularlyJason'sthesemercenariesoperational experienceswere rich, saw that the Theoniaarmypotentialwas big, defend the planbeyondentrancenot to hold the hopetoAthens, has saved„once the slightest sign of trouble appearsis retreatingimmediately” the thoughts, thiscaused„southto divert, north that Patroclusformulatedto attack, oncebroke throughline of defense, the armywent southrapidly, tosouthline of defense the enemyimplementedsurrounding” the plancannotcompletelyrealize. Finallyalsocaught more than 1000 the mercenaries of escaping.
这座小镇的民众来不及逃跑,不得不做出绝望的抵抗,美迦罗乌诺的抵抗不算徒劳,他们为在南面防御的雅典士兵和雇佣兵们赢得了一点时间,尤其是伊阿宋的这些雇佣兵们作战经验丰富,看到戴奥尼亚军队势大,对雅典御敌于国门之外的计划根本不抱有希望,早就存着“一有风吹草动就立即撤退”的心思,这使得帕特洛克罗斯制定的“南面牵制、北面进攻,一旦攻破防线,军队迅速南下,对南面防线的敌军实施包围”的计划未能完全实现,不过最终也捕获了1000多逃跑的雇佣兵。IphicratesinAthens the situation of borderline of defensebigrout, is leading more than 10,000soldiersalong the coastline, finallyquitesmoothenters the Athenscity.伊菲克拉特斯就是在雅典的边境防线大溃败的情况下,率领着1万多士兵沿着海岸线,最终较为顺利的进入雅典城。Hisdust of travelhas not washed, ontravel-wornran in the Athenscity hall, in the roomin9generals of urgentdiscussionis seeinghisarrival, immediatelylooks like the prolonged droughtto meet the sweet dewto crowd aroundgenerallyhim, the 1stwords that asksare: „How manysoldiersIphicrates do youlead?”
他征尘未洗,就风尘仆仆的跑进了雅典市政厅,房间内正在紧急商议的九位将军看到他的到来,立刻像久旱逢甘露一般将他簇拥起来,所问的第一句话都是:“伊菲克拉特斯你带回来多少士兵?”„16,000soldiers.”
“16,000名士兵。”„Howsuchmilitary?”Callistratusis astonished, hethinks: Even if the Thessalyarmyleaves, Iphicratesat least can still bring back to30,000-40,000armies, becauseas far as he knowwhenGreekAllied armieswere most prosperousoncereach as high asto100,000people( AkaDiaz'ssomecity-stateandlovedLees, becausewas very nearfrombattlefield, oncehadlots ofcitizensasto enter the warauxiliary, butdid not havebigbattle efficiencyactually).
“怎么才这么点兵力?”卡利斯特拉图斯一脸愕然,他以为:就算塞萨利军队离开,伊菲克拉特斯至少也能带回30,000-40,000军队,因为据他所知在希腊联军最鼎盛的时候曾经高达到10万人(阿卡狄亚的一些城邦和爱利斯因为距离战场很近,曾经有大量的公民作为辅助参战,但实际没有多大战斗力)。Iphicratesearnestwill make the briefnarrationin the Peloponnesetactical situation.伊菲克拉特斯认真的将在伯罗奔尼撒的战况做了简要的叙述。
After listening, everyone onefaceis depressed, evensomepeopleactuallysaidunrestrainedly: „Ended...... Athensto end......”
听完之后,每一个人都一脸沮丧,甚至有人竟然情不自禁地说道:“完了……雅典完了……”„Loving a native of LyssandAkaDiazpersonandKiesspersonandLocrithis person...... theysimplyarestupid! Theyshouldunderstand,tothis time, was busygoing homesimplynot to have the significance, only thenjoins up, beatsTheoniathispowerful enemy, canguaranteeowncity-statesecurity!”Someperson of angrysaying.
“爱利斯人、阿卡狄亚人、佛基斯人、洛克里斯人……他们简直是愚蠢!他们应该明白,都到了这个时候了,忙着回家根本没有意义,只有联合起来,击败戴奥尼亚这个强敌,才能够保证自己城邦的安全!”有人愤怒的说道。„Oh......, when the dangerarrivestruly, thesevisionnarrow and smallcity-statecitizens can only seeownmother-statedanger, where can also achieveto share a common hatred, altogether the anti-powerful enemy! In the final analysis, GreekAllianceis the alliance that establisheshastily, is not possibly doomedlong-time!”Callistratus'shelplesssighing.
“唉……等到危险真正降临的时候,这些目光狭小的城邦公民只看得到自己母邦的危险,哪里还能够做到同仇敌忾、共抗强敌!说到底,希腊联盟不过是一个仓促成立的联盟,注定不可能长久!”卡利斯特拉图斯无奈的叹道。
The peopleare silent.
众人默然。At this time, Iphicrateshad the opportunityto ask: „Right, Ientered a citya moment ago, saw that some routed troopsare shoutingrandomlyrandomly call, said that whatdefeateddefeated, didcitystartled, exactlywhat happened?!”
这时,伊菲克拉特斯才有机会问道:“对了,我刚才进城的时候,看到有一些溃兵在乱喊乱叫,说什么败了败了,搞得城区一片惊慌,到底发生了什么事情?!”Callistratuswith a heavy heart„the Greekarmy, failed badlyin the borderdefense” the newswill tellIphicrates.
卡利斯特拉图斯心情沉重的将“希腊军队在边境防御、遭受惨败”的消息告诉了伊菲克拉特斯。Greekveteran of thisalwayscalmwisdominbattlefieldafterlistening, unexpectedlyangryexclaiming: „Youknow the Theoniaarmy that obviouslyattacklarge group, powerful, why must go out of townto bring deathourfewyoung and middle-agedcitizenfaction! Iswho?! Isthestupidproposal that whoput forward?!”
这位在战场上一向冷静睿智的希腊老将在听完之后,居然愤怒的吼道:“你们明明知道来袭的戴奥尼亚军队人数众多、实力强大,为什么还要将我们为数不多的青壮年公民派出城去送死!是谁?!是谁提出的这个愚蠢的建议?!”IffyKraneTessstaredin a big way the eye, is looking angrily at the people, somepeopledo not lower the headvoluntarily.
伊菲克兰特斯瞪大了眼睛,怒视着众人,有些人不自觉地低下了头。CarrariStellaTusgoes forwardonestep, the sinkingsoundsaid: „ Isourcommondecisions, but also is people'srequest! After the Thessalyremnantarmyrun intoAthens, weknow that will attackquicklyin the northTheoniaarmy, CaburiLancethas put forward the proposal, ‚the people that hurryto inform the Atticaareaevade into the city, the dependencecity walldefends the attack of Theoniaarmy, waits foryouto command the armyto return, hits backagain......’
卡拉利斯特拉图斯上前一步,沉声说道:“是我们共同的决定,但也是民众的要求!当塞萨利的残军逃入雅典之后,我们知道在北面的戴奥尼亚军队很快就会攻来,卡布利阿斯就提出过建议,‘赶紧通知阿提卡地区的民众避入城内,依靠城墙防御戴奥尼亚军队的进攻,等待你率军返回,再进行反击……’Weapprovedthisdecisionat that time, but...... ” inCallistratuseyesflashes through an shame: „ Butinecclesia, the citizensmostlydid not agreelater, theyrejectpassiveabandonsownhomeland, whateverTheoniandevastatesto trample...... youto know that duringPeloponnesian War, the entireAtticaareaexcept forAthens, was almost destroyedstretch of ruinsby the Spartaallied armies, the citizensdoes not wantto makesuchtragedy happen again......
我们当时都认可了这个决定,但是……”卡利斯特拉图斯眼中闪过一丝羞愧:“但是在随后召开的公民大会中,公民们大多都不同意,他们拒绝毫无抵抗的抛弃自己的家园,任由戴奥尼亚人去蹂躏践踏……你知道的,在伯罗奔尼撒战争期间,整个阿提卡地区除了雅典,几乎被斯巴达联军破坏成一片废墟,公民们不想再让这样的悲剧发生……Thereforewemadesuch a plan, sets upline of defensein the western frontier, firstprevents the Theoniaarmysome time, after youcommand the armyto return, thenwholooks for the opportunitycounter-attack...... to know that the Theoniaarmycomessuchrapidness, the attacksuchfierce...... oh...... ”
所以我们才制定了这样一个计划,在西部边境设立防线,先阻挡戴奥尼亚军队一段时间,等你率军返回之后,再找机会反击……谁知道戴奥尼亚军队来得如此之快,进攻如此之猛……唉……”Callistratussaid,othergeneralscannot bearshake the headto sigh.
卡利斯特拉图斯说完,其他的将军们也忍不住摇头叹气。Iphicratesvisitsthem who the visiondodges, the words that clearCallistratusspokeat heartare not truecompletely, buthaggles overthesenot to have the significanceat this moment, hespatseveraltonescontinually, was doneto return to normalbyownmoodslightly, thenasked: „Thatpresent? Whatnow do youhaveto plan?!”伊菲克拉特斯看着目光躲闪的他们,心里清楚卡利斯特拉图斯所说的话并不完全属实,但此刻计较这些已经没有意义,他连吐了几口气,让自己的心情稍作平复,接着问道:“那现在呢?现在你们有什么计划?!”Callistratussinkingsoundsaid: „Is away from the Athenscityto be farwhile the Theoniaarmy, wehave sent peopleto informAttica'seachvillages and small towns, making the peopleenter the cityto seek asylumimmediately! Wehave decidedfirstto depend upon the city wallto defend the attack of Theonia, after youcommand the army, finds the opportunityto counter-attack, buthas not thought the military that...... youhavesowill be few......”
卡利斯特拉图斯沉声说道:“趁着戴奥尼亚军队距离雅典城还远,我们已经派人去通知阿提卡的各个村镇,让民众马上入城避难!我们已经决定先依靠城墙防御住戴奥尼亚的进攻,等你率军回来之后再找机会进行反击,只是没想到……你带回来的兵力会这么少……”SeesonCallistratusface the disappointment that is hardto conceal, Iphicratessaidby the unprecedentedfacial expressionwith deep veneration: „Carries on the situation of battlefrommewith the Theoniaarmythese days, such that iftrulyin the hearsay said that the Theoniaarmybattle efficiencyis very strong . Moreover the soldiernumberis big, except foralreadytheTheoniaarmy that entersAttica, hastens of thousandspeople of Theoniaarmiesunder the Corinthcity. According tomyjudgment, how longCorinthcould not wantpossiblyto fall to the enemy, when the time comesthesetwoarmyconvergence...... depended onus is not impossibleto defeatsopowerfulTheoniaonly, only ifPersiasent out the armyto support-”
看到卡利斯特拉图斯脸上难以掩饰的失望,伊菲克拉特斯以前所未有的肃然神情说道:“从我这段时间同戴奥尼亚军队进行交战的情况来看,确实如传闻中所说的那样,戴奥尼亚军队战斗力很强,而且士兵数量众多,除了已经进入阿提卡的这支戴奥尼亚军队,在科林斯城下还有几万人的戴奥尼亚军队。根据我的判断,要不了多久科林斯就可能会沦陷,到时候这两支军队一汇合……单靠我们自己不可能战胜如此强大的戴奥尼亚,除非波斯派出军队支持-”„Do not have the expectationtoPersia!” A generalindignantloudness of said: „Persiansdeceivedus, theytoouranysupport, thatPersiaenvoywill not run!”
“不要对波斯抱有期望了!”一名将军气愤的大声说道:“波斯人欺骗了我们,他们根本不会给我们任何支援,那个波斯使者都跑了!”InIphicratesheartonestartled, is busy atlookingtoCallistratus.伊菲克拉特斯心中一惊,忙看向卡利斯特拉图斯。Nod of thischiefgeneralpain: „Persian kinghas led the armyto attackEgypt, simplydid not have the ample forceto care aboutus...... weto be swindled......”
这位首席将军痛苦的点点头:“波斯王已经率领军队在进攻埃及,根本没有余力顾及我们……我们上当了……”Iphicratessitsdejectedfallson the wooden chair, in the war that heonceinpreviousPersialaunchedtoEgypthas been the commander, veryclearPersiastartedat heartto the Egyptwar, certainlywill use the full power, moreoverwas notseveral monthscanfinish.伊菲克拉特斯颓然地坐倒在木椅上,他曾经在上一次波斯对埃及发动的战争中担任过指挥官,心里很清楚波斯发动对埃及的战争,一定会倾尽全力,而且不是短短几个月就能够结束的。At this time, oldstrongAghourRiossaidloudly: „DuringPeloponnesian War, the Athenscitizendepends upon the defense of city wall, persevered for dozensyears, had not been broken throughby the Spartaallied armies, we can also certainlyachievetoday! The Theoniaarmyquantityis truly big, because justhuge, will theyconsumea lot ofcommodities, Theoniancan the long-termsupportsuchgreat quantityconsumption?!”
这时,老尔弥坚的阿古尔里奥斯大声说道:“在伯罗奔尼撒战争期间,雅典公民依靠城墙的防御,坚守了几十年,也没有被斯巴达联军攻破,我们今天也一定可以做到!戴奥尼亚军队数量确实庞大,但是正因为庞大,他们会消耗大量的物资,戴奥尼亚人能够长期的支撑这样巨量的消耗吗?!”Hiswordsmake the spirits of somepeopleinspire, CaburiLancet who has been responsible for the navycannot bearremindfinally: „ In the pastwedid not dreadsieging of Spartaallied armies , because weare grasping the sea, the people the urgently neededcommoditycanmomentarilythrough the merchant shipping, but the Spartaarmydoes not have the means. Howeveris now different, the Theonianot onlyarmyis powerful, the navyis also powerful, these days their fleetcruisesnearSaronic Gulfdaily, the merchant ship that the interceptionpasses in and out, had had very tremendous impact on ourseatrades!
他的话让一些人的精神一振,一直负责海军的卡布利阿斯终于忍不住提醒道:“当年我们之所以不畏惧斯巴达联军的围困,是因为我们掌握着大海,民众所急需的物资随时可以通过商船运输进来,而斯巴达军队对此却毫无办法。但是现在不同,戴奥尼亚不但陆军强大,海军同样强大,这段时间他们的舰队天天在萨龙湾附近巡弋,拦截进出的商船,已经对我们的海贸造成了很大影响!Ourwarshipstake riskto attackrepeatedly, both sideshave the casualtiesrespectively, butourwarshipare too few, is unable to gainin the shipwoodensituationfrom the outside world, is unable to make the newship( Atticaareaforestfew), morewill only hitare less, whenTheoniafleetthoroughblockadeourharbors, whereweobtain the sufficientgrainto meet the needs of entireAthenspeople! ”
我们的战船多次冒险出击,双方各有伤亡,但是我们战船太少,在无法从外界获取船木的情况下,又无法制造新船(阿提卡地区森林很少),只会越打越少,等到戴奥尼亚舰队彻底的封锁我们的港口,我们从哪里获得足够的粮食来满足整个雅典民众的需要!”AghourRiosis at a loss for wordsfor a while, happen toseessomepeopleto come inhurriedly, hishurryingboard the faceis asking: „Whatmatterhas?”
阿古尔里奥斯一时语塞,正好看见有人急匆匆进来,他赶紧板着脸孔问道:“有什么事?”„GeneralAghourRios, fellowgenerals, the TheoniaarmylandedAiyina, requested that youhurryto dispatch troopsto rescue!”
“阿古尔里奥斯将军,各位将军,戴奥尼亚军队登陆了埃伊纳,请求你们赶紧派兵救援!”„What?! Aiyinawas attacked!” The generalsare startled, CaburiLanceturgentlyasked: „Is this matter when has?!”
“什么?!埃伊纳遭到了攻击!”将军们都大吃了一惊,卡布利阿斯更是急问道:“这是什么时候发生的事?!”„Before the person who Aiyinanotifiedsaid...... probably...... probablytwohours, the TheoniafleetblockadedAiyinaharborsuddenly, andover ten thousandTheoniasoldiers'beachlandingsouthwestEghina, andlaunched the attack...... the garrison on islandnot to seeourreinforcementto the Aiyinacity, and situation was also very critical, has tosendto take riskto run out of the harborin the warship that the harborwas stationed, broke through the blockade of Theoniafleetwith great difficulty, caught up withincoming telegramnews-”
“据埃伊纳来报信的人说……大概……大概两个多小时前,戴奥尼亚舰队突然封锁了埃伊纳港口,并且有上万名戴奥尼亚士兵在埃伊纳岛西南角的海滩登陆,并且向埃伊纳城发起了攻击……岛上的驻军一直未见我们的增援,并且情况又十分危急,不得不派在港口驻扎的战船冒险冲出港口,好不容易才冲破了戴奥尼亚舰队的封锁,赶来报讯-”„Ourpatrolwarships? Whydoesn't have the promptdiscoveryreport?!”Callistratusangryasked.
“我们的巡逻战船呢?为什么没有及时发现汇报?!”卡利斯特拉图斯愤怒的质问道。
