Callistratus has the premise requirements that comes back the Theonia agreement to negotiate peace, convenes in ecclesia that to read out in Puri Kos Dagi, immediately triggers the anger of citizens, according to the Isocrates words saying, „fierce Theonia this is to destroy Athens!”. 卡利斯特拉图斯带回来戴奥尼亚同意议和的前提要求,在普里克斯山上召开的公民大会中宣读,立刻引起了公民们的愤怒,按照伊索克拉底的话说,“凶恶的戴奥尼亚这是想要毁灭雅典！”。 Therefore the citizens fight intent to be fearless, unanimously agreed: Must with preparing to destroy Athens Theonian to fight to the death. 于是公民们战意昂然,一致同意:要与准备毁灭雅典的戴奥尼亚人决一死战。 Athenians has prepared total defense, but after two Theonia armies join forces, there is Crotokatax of self-knowledge the unified military command power to remise Patroclus on own initiative. 雅典人已经做好了全面防御的准备,而两支戴奥尼亚军队会师之后,有自知之明的克洛托卡塔克斯主动将统一的军事指挥权让与帕特洛克罗斯。 Patroclus has not declined, but does not have to launch the attack to the Athens city immediately, but is orders these 100,000 armies first to build the reliable camp around the Athens city( this Unit 100000 includes the Theonia army that Crotokatax and Patroclus lead incessantly, Thebes, Mantinea, Argos, Corinth, Megara and other allied country armies). 帕特洛克罗斯没有推辞,但也没有马上就对雅典城发起进攻,而是命令这10万军队绕着雅典城先修筑牢固的营地(这100000部队不止包括克洛托卡塔克斯和帕特洛克罗斯所率领的戴奥尼亚军队,还有底比斯、曼丁尼亚、阿哥斯、科林斯、麦加拉等盟邦军队)。 Meanwhile, he also branches out the army to sweep away the entire Attica area, after attacking and occupying villages and small towns, cannot run into the Athens city's villages and small towns people to rush to under the Athens city promptly, then the army is far away immediately. 同时,他还分出部队横扫整个阿提卡地区,在攻占村镇之后,就将未能及时逃入雅典城的村镇民众全部赶到雅典城下,然后军队立刻远离。 These people wail outside the city, the soldiers in city see no danger, opens the city gate immediately, in puts it to enter. 这些民众在城外哀嚎,城内的士兵见没有什么危险,就立刻打开城门,放其入内。 Callistratus and Iphicrates and the others cannot prevent, because these people are Athenians, is in the city the relative or the relative of citizens, therefore the Athens city held the population of entire Attica area in several days, achieved about 300,000 people. 卡利斯特拉图斯和伊菲克拉特斯等人根本不能阻止,因为这些民众都是雅典人,是城内公民们的亲属或亲戚,所以在几天之内雅典城就容纳了整个阿提卡地区的人口,达到了近30万人。 Although said that Athens is the Greek biggest city, in addition compared with Piraeus, the entire city area exceeded 20 square kilometers, but the so huge population gave the entire city to create very tremendous survival pressure: Runs into the Attica residents in city not to have the housing place, rests directly in the public building garden and square, the temporary shack that even by finding at everywhere people to the Athens health/guard city path builds from the Evers's, is not naturally able to guarantee that the health in city is neat, everywhere is the excreta, few people clean up, moreover now or at the end of September, the temperature is high, the fly mosquito flies everywhere randomly, stinks to high heaven. 虽然说雅典是希腊本土最大的城市,加上比雷埃夫斯港,整个城区面积超过了20平方公里,但如此庞大的人口还是给整座城市带来了很大的生存压力:很多逃入城内的阿提卡居民没有居住的地方,就直接睡在公共建筑的庭院和广场,甚至从比雷埃弗斯到雅典卫城的道路两旁随处可见民众搭建的临时窝棚,自然也就无法保证城内的卫生整洁,到处都是排泄物,很少有人去清理,而且现在还是9月末,气温还较高,到处苍蝇蚊子乱飞,臭气熏天。 Regarding the generals, this is the small issue, lets is mainly the grain that they have a headache. Although initially for the organization allied armies made war with Theonia, beforehand stored up many grain in the city, but facing so tremendous population pressure, still felt to become serious. Callistratus and the others have to spend an argument, convinced 500 people of parliaments, then organized the manpower, controlled the consumption of grain strictly. 对于将军们而言,这还是小问题,让他们头疼的主要是粮食。虽然当初为了组织联军同戴奥尼亚开战,事先在城内囤积了不少粮食,但面对如此大的人口压力,依然感到吃紧。卡利斯特拉图斯等人不得不花费一番口舌,说服500人议会,然后组织人手,严控粮食的消耗。 In addition, the potable water is also an issue. Athens area originally several rivers, but they outside city, under the control of Theonia army, therefore in the city the people can only depend upon water wells in city, in city outside resident and city refugee because frequently strives for the right of use of well to argue, even to conflict, the Athens government has to increase the manpower to keep the pumping order of each well. 此外,饮水也是一个问题。雅典地区本来有几条河流,但它们都在城区之外,在戴奥尼亚军队的控制之下,因此城内民众只能依靠城内的一个个水井,城内居民和城外难民经常因为争夺水井的使用权发生争执、甚至冲突,雅典政府不得不增派人手来维持每个水井的取水秩序。 But Dr. Athens who during this, several once attended the Greek medicine forum that the Theonia academy medical school holds many times gave the warning to the Athens government together: Must guarantee clean in city with every effort, otherwise the extremely dirty environment will cause occurrence of plague. 而在这个期间,几名曾经多次参加戴奥尼亚学园医学院举办的希腊医学论坛的雅典医生一起向雅典政府提出警告:必须要尽力保证城内的清洁,否则太过肮脏的环境会导致瘟疫的发生。 Their suggestions brought to the attention of general executive committee, must know in the past after Peloponnesian War started, the Sparta allied armies from land advance Athens, at that time Athens also according to the city defense, the situation and today not too greatly are different, but in the city had a big plague in a while, Perikles also caught an illness to pass away. Although these doctors claimed that „they understood these knowledge that study from the Theonia medical school”, but General Athens have therefore not neglected, after all these year of Theonia medicine levels gradually obtain eastern Mediterranean the approvals of some city-state high . Moreover the nightmare that the plague creates to Athenians is extremely fearful, therefore the foe, Callistratus and the others still decided to accept their suggestions even, sends out lots of manpower, every day is responsible for cleaning up the street, with every effort clean of guarantee city. 他们的建议引起了将军执行委员会的重视,要知道当年伯罗奔尼撒战争开始之后,斯巴达联军从陆路进攻雅典,当时雅典也是据城防御,情况和今天并无太大不同,但没过多久城内就发生了一场大瘟疫,伯里克利也染病故去。虽然这几名医生声称“他们所了解到的这些知识都是学自戴奥尼亚医学院”,但雅典将军们并没有因此而忽视,毕竟这些年戴奥尼亚的医学水平高已经逐渐得到东地中海的一些城邦的认同,而且瘟疫给雅典人造成的噩梦太过可怕,因此即使是仇敌,卡利斯特拉图斯等人仍然决定采纳他们的建议,派出大量人手,每天负责清理街道,尽力保证城市的清洁。 Also without officially battle, Athens high level headed by Callistratus already the administration that because in the city rises dramatically is mentally and physically exhausted, but people also in anxious, scared and busy difficult pass every day. 还没有正式交战,以卡利斯特拉图斯为首的雅典高层就已经因为城内暴增的行政事务而心力交瘁,而民众也在紧张、恐慌和忙碌中艰难的度过每一天。 However the Theonia army still has not launched the attack, only then the crossbow artillery teams of various regiments under the order of Patroclus, the uniform distribution around the Athens city, start massively fires the small-scale marbles at the Athens city, these marbles cross the city wall unceasingly, breaks nearby house, creates the panic of Athens people, forces them far away from the city wall, created city central crowded. 但是戴奥尼亚的军队依然没有发起进攻,只有各军团的弩炮队在帕特洛克罗斯的命令下,均匀分布在雅典城周围,开始大量的向雅典城内发射小型的石弹,这些石弹不断越过城墙,砸坏附近的房屋,造成雅典民众的恐慌,迫使他们远离城墙,更造成了城区中央的拥挤。 In order to guarantee the soldiers high and low city wall is unhindered, the Athens officials have to arrange the slave to clean up these near city wall the marbles bombardment by the ruins that creates, shortly after some people reported confidentially to the city hall unceasingly, said „family's slaves to go out repeatedly quietly, assembles with other slaves secretly, surreptitious.” 为了保证士兵们上下城墙不受阻碍,雅典官员们还不得不安排奴隶去清理城墙附近的这些被石弹轰击所造成的废墟,没多久就不断有人向市政厅密报,说“家里的奴隶多次悄悄出去,和其他的奴隶秘密集会,行踪诡秘。” The city hall immediately sends out the patrol leader, arrested some slaves to interrogate, finally made people be startled, originally these were responsible for cleaning up nearby the city wall ruins the marbles in slave discovery injection city almost to inscribe the Greek writing, the main meaning was „, so long as the slave dared to revolt against their masters and city-state, the assistance Theonia army broke through the city, Theonia not only will give them to be free, will also apportion their land......” 市政厅立即派出巡逻队,抓捕了一些奴隶进行审问,结果令人大吃一惊,原来那些负责清理城墙附近废墟的奴隶发现射入城内的石弹几乎都刻有希腊文字,主要意思就是“只要奴隶敢于起来反抗他们的主人和城邦,协助戴奥尼亚军队攻破城池,戴奥尼亚不但将给予他们自由,甚至还会分给他们土地……” The Athens culture prosperous, commercially developed, many slaves are not only literate, but also was trained to become his assistant of doing business by the master, but also in the contact of outside nation merchant in they many know that some related „western Kingdom of Theonia treats the slave is quite tolerant” the matter, therefore some slaves somewhat moved, starts to conduct the contact to discuss in secret, finally this news on rapid disseminates in the Athens slave...... 雅典文化繁荣、商贸发达,不少奴隶不但识字,还被主人培养成为其做生意的助手,而且在同外邦商人的交往中他们又多少知道一些有关“西边的戴奥尼亚王国对待奴隶比较宽容”的事情,因此一些奴隶有些动心了,就开始私下里进行联络商议,结果这个消息就迅速的在雅典奴隶中传播开来…… After the general executive committee knows, frightened, because the slave population in Athens city reached as high as 100,000, was almost flat to Athens people, but the life situation of Athens slave was not good in the Sparta Helots, the mining slave who for example the labor force raised the silver ore not only the quantity was extremely numerous, but also the life was extremely bad, every year many slaves died in the mine tunnel...... these slaves naturally to exploiting their slave-owners are full of the hate, had the event that the community revolted against the master many times. Most famous during one time is Peloponnesian War, more than 40,000 Athens slaves joined up to escape from the Athens city, causing the Athens national strength to suffer a major attack. 将军执行委员会知道后,都吓出了一身冷汗,因为雅典城内的奴隶人口高达10万,几乎与雅典民众人数持平,而雅典奴隶的生活处境并非都好于斯巴达的黑劳士,比如劳力昂银矿的挖矿奴隶不但数量极多,而且生活极差,每年都有不少奴隶死于矿洞中……这些奴隶当然对剥削他们的奴隶主充满怨恨,多次发生群体反抗主人的事件。最有名的一次莫过于伯罗奔尼撒战争期间,4万多雅典奴隶联合起来逃出了雅典城,致使雅典的国力遭受了一次重大打击。 In the military conference before then, Iphicrates also once put forward the proposal: Young and vigorous male ** the Magistrate organizes, distributes the weapon, assists to defend a city. 在这之前的军事会议上,伊菲克拉特斯还曾提出建议:将年轻力壮的男**隶组织起来,配发武器,协助守城。 Although this suggestion has not been passed immediately, but truly makes some people's desires move, therefore has been under discussion, but has this grade of matter now, naturally cannot consider this matter again. Moreover under their orders, the city patrol leaders goes into action immediately, before seizing over a hundred, slave who cleans the ruins. 虽然这条建议没有立刻获得通过,但确实让一些人意动,因此一直在讨论之中,但现在发生了这档事,自然不会再考虑这件事情。而且在他们的命令之下,城市巡逻队立即行动起来,抓捕了上百名之前打扫废墟的奴隶。 Simultaneously 500 people of parliaments through the resolution, the people in request city favor the slave of family/home, forbidding it to go out, once discovered that exceptionally reports to the city hall immediately. But the city hall also organized a group of soldiers, specifically is responsible for safeguarding the city-state slave. 同时500人议会通过决议,要求城内的民众看好自己家的奴隶,禁止其出门,一旦发现异常立即向市政厅汇报。而市政厅还组织了一批士兵,专门负责看管城邦奴隶。 In the general executive committee has too many hot irons in the fire, another sad news comes: Constructed after was defending several storms of Theonia army in the main city of Eghina high place tenaciously, finally fell to the enemy. 就在将军执行委员会忙得焦头烂额之时,又一个噩耗传来:建造在埃伊纳岛高处的主城在顽强防御了戴奥尼亚军队的几次强攻之后,终于沦陷了。 From now on the Theonia first fleet and third fleet warship enters Aiyina harbor and Corinth Isthmia harbor respectively, and Megara harbor, can thus 24 hours a day Athens blockades virtue to be airtighter than Piraeus. 自此戴奥尼亚的第一舰队和第三舰队战船分别进驻埃伊纳港口、科林斯的伊斯米亚港口、以及麦加拉港口,从而可以全天24小时将雅典的比雷埃夫斯港封锁德密不透风。 But on the land, Patroclus issues the order: Let the soldiers who build the camp beyond hundred meters start to build the attacking a city platform in the distance city. 而在陆地上,帕特洛克罗斯又下达命令:让修筑好营地的士兵们在距离城池百米之外开始修筑攻城平台。 Simultaneously also ordered: Let various regiment project camp construction super attacking a city towers. 同时又下令:让各军团工程营建造超级攻城塔。 After issuance of order, 100,000 officers start immediately busily, outside the Athens city all around all turned into the work site, daily the dust flies upwards. The Theonia transportation fleet also bustles about, the trees that fells from Tiger Tosse mountain transport Megara Messenians and Brother Narnia person, transports from the team to the Theonia camp again, is led the artisans to make the attacking a city instrument by the engineer again( entire Peloponnese and on land of Greece, in Sparta that does not attach great importance to navigating also has the forest of cover . Moreover the trees on Tiger Tos mountain exceptionally are sturdy big). 命令下达之后,十万将士立刻开始忙碌,雅典城外四周全变成了工地,天天尘土飞扬。戴奥尼亚的运输船队也忙碌起来,他们将美塞尼亚人和拉哥尼亚人从泰格托斯山砍伐下来的树木运送到麦加拉,再由驮队运输到戴奥尼亚营地,再由工程师带领工匠们制造攻城器械(整个伯罗奔尼撒和中希腊的土地上,只有不重视航海的斯巴达境内还有茂密的森林,而且泰格托斯山上的树木都异常粗壮高大)。 Stands in 10 meters high Athens top, the Athens citizen soldiers are day by day anxious, because they noticed that outside the city on the smooth land stuck out mounds of earth, moreover is day by day high, soon surpassed the Athens city wall. 站在十米高的雅典城头上,雅典公民兵们是一天比一天紧张,因为他们看到城外原本平坦的土地上隆起了一座座土丘,而且一天比一天高,都快要超过雅典城墙了。 Iphicrates not passive defense, he once several times a mercenary who leads the Thrace peltast and Jason goes out of town to conduct the surprise attack, just started to obtain some victories, killed some enemy soldiers, even still broke through the camp of Megara army in a night assault, but because feared that arouses the enemy vigilance, the soldier who participates in the night assault are not quite many . Moreover the Theonia army reinforces promptly, cannot exploit the victory. 伊菲克拉特斯并没有被动的防御,他曾经几次率领色雷斯轻盾兵和伊阿宋的雇佣兵出城进行突袭,刚开始取得了一些战果,杀伤了一些敌兵,甚至还在一次夜袭中攻破了麦加拉军队的营地,但由于怕引起敌军警觉,参与夜袭的士兵不太多,而且戴奥尼亚军队增援及时,未能扩大战果。 But after this, the Theonia allied armies drew the lesson, at the strict demand of Patroclus, each military compound not only strengthened the defense, strengthened relation, and Theonia soldiers also in front of each attacking a city platform Tugou( because builds to connect, expands the trench that attacking a city platform excavates earth to form), as the matter stands the Athens army attacks the work site becomes beset with difficulties. Therefore after several suffering heavy casualties surprise attacks, Iphicrates has to stop this adventurous approach temporarily. 但在此之后,戴奥尼亚联军吸取了教训,在帕特洛克罗斯的严格要求之下,各个军营不但加强了防御,也加强了相互之间的联系,并且戴奥尼亚士兵们还将每一个攻城平台前面的土沟(因为修筑攻城平台挖土而形成的)都连接起来,扩建成壕沟,这样一来雅典军队就连突袭工地都变得困难重重。所以在几次损兵折将的突袭之后,伊菲克拉特斯不得不暂时停止了这种冒险的做法。 Therefore the construction speed of Theonia soldier dramatically speeds up, finally more than 10 meters high attacking a city platforms stand tall and erect outside the Athens city, the Athens soldiers are looking up to these compared with the city wall also high mound of earth, feels all scared. But made them feel what was scared was marbles came from these mounds of earth, crosses the city wall, fell in the Athens city. 因此戴奥尼亚士兵的建造速度大大加快,终于一个个十多米高的攻城平台高耸在雅典城外,雅典士兵们仰望着这些比城墙还高的土丘,无不感到恐慌。但更令他们感到恐慌的是一颗颗石弹从这些土丘上呼啸而来,越过城墙,落在雅典城区内。
