Secker sets up peaceful shaking the head gently, facial expression calm saying: „ Your majesty makes us take the enormous risk, to make a long and wearisome journey to catch up to come to here, attacking and occupying Cyprus is only the secondary goal, most important eliminates the Persia fleet, controls the Near East sea area the leading power...... the present more than 4000 heavy infantries to land, this had posed very big threat to Cyprus, has destroyed the Persia fleet to want in the sea to intercept our attempts. In such a case, they may when facing the threat of our Theonia powerful fleet very much, chooses the temporary avoidance, then transported the reinforcements and commodity through in Nicosia to island and other cities, enabling it easily to be attacked and captured by our army. 塞克立安轻轻的摇头,神情冷静的说道:“陛下之所以让我们冒着巨大风险、长途跋涉赶来这里,攻占塞浦路斯只是次要目的,最重要的就是消灭波斯舰队,掌控近东海域的主导权……现在4000多名重步兵已经登陆,这已经对塞浦路斯造成了很大的威胁,已经破坏了波斯舰队想要在海上拦截我们的企图。在这样的情况下,他们很有可能在面对我们戴奥尼亚强大舰队的威胁时,选择暂时的退避,转而通过给岛上的尼科西亚等城镇运送援军和物资,使其不能轻易被我们的陆军所攻克。 After all, our fleets make a long and wearisome journey to come, the commodity that carries is unable to safeguard the commodity consumption of our fleet huge crew, if the army cannot attack and occupy Nicosia and other cities rapidly, our fleet has to first retreat, when the time comes......, the Persia fleet can easily cut off the sea-lift line of landing army, when the time comes the army will have in a big way troubled- ” 毕竟,我们的舰队长途跋涉而来,所携带的物资无法保障我们舰队庞大船员的物资消耗,如果陆军不能迅速攻占尼科西亚等城镇,我们舰队就不得不先撤退,到时候……哼,波斯舰队就可以轻易切断登陆军队的海上补给线,到时候陆军就会有大麻烦了-” At this point, the Sekrian complexion becomes very serious: „Army unlucky also in next, the key time is this your majesty leading personally army, wants to gain to conquer Persia the great honor, our navy was given eliminated the Persia fleet, to gain the heavy responsibility of eastern Mediterranean marine leading power, because if refuses battle negatively causes to tempt the enemy duty failure, even caused to suffer a setback in its first battle, affected entire conquers the Persia war, I may on ashamed right your majesty trust, even saw right in front of one these I had ridiculed army general speechless!” 说到这里,塞克利安的脸色变得十分严肃:“陆军倒霉还在其次,关键是这一次陛下亲率大军,想要获取征服波斯的这一伟大荣誉,我们海军被赋予了消灭波斯舰队、获取东地中海海上主导权的重任,如果因为消极避战致使诱敌任务失败,甚至导致首战失利,影响到整个征服波斯的战争,我可就愧对了陛下的信任,甚至无言去面见那些我曾经嘲笑过的陆军将领们！” „Without is so serious......” flag captain to mutter said. “没有这么严重吧……”旗舰舰长喃喃说道。 Secker stands peacefully discontented stared his one eyes, the sinking sound said: „I am the commander of this action, I must seize all possible opportunities, the safeguard action can conduct smoothly, therefore we must treat here, cannot leave! Regarding the Persia fleet, but also there are anything compared with eliminating a quantity is less than their Theonia fleets, to siege several thousand Theonia armies simultaneously completely on the island, can attract their!” 塞克立安不满的瞪了他一眼,沉声说道:“我是这次行动的指挥官,我必须要抓住一切可能的机会,保障行动能够顺利进行,所以我们必须待在这里,不能离开！对于波斯舰队而言,还有什么比消灭一支数量远少于他们的戴奥尼亚舰队、同时将几千名戴奥利亚陆军完全围困在岛上,更能吸引他们的呢！” „Sir, our warships are too after all few, I am worried that the Persia fleet...... really regards the delicacy to stutter us-” “大人,我们的战船毕竟太少,我是担心波斯舰队……真把我们当成美味一口吃掉-” Captain stutter just said half, was stood by Secker peacefully breaks sternly: „Even if the number of Persia warship is our 2-3 times, my Secker sets up the fleet that secure leads still to be a hard stone absolutely, the tooth of jumping bad Persia fleet! Let alone I believe meter/rice Dorotheus, he not only naval battle is experienced, but also has very good intuition, certainly will lead other warships to meet with us promptly, annihilates the Persia fleet together!” 舰长结结巴巴的刚说了一半,就被塞克立安厉声打断:“就算波斯战船的数量是我们的2-3倍,我塞克立安率领的舰队也绝对会是一块硬石头,会蹦坏波斯舰队的牙齿！更何况我相信米多拉德斯,他不但海战经验丰富,而且有很好的直觉,一定会及时的率领其他战船与我们会合,共同将波斯舰队歼灭！” After Secker stands secure makes up mind, the flag captain does not dare again to urge, instead transmits to all warships the fleet senior official's order: All crow warships install the hanging bridge, prepares fight! 塞克立安拿定主意之后,旗舰舰长不敢再劝,反而将舰队长官的命令向所有战船传达:所有乌鸦战船装上吊桥,做好战斗的准备！ One hour passes by, had not found that the trace of enemy ship, had but presented few cavalries in Cyprus on the island, their distant spies on the Theonia regiment soldiers to build the camp near the beach, actually does not dare to approach, seems like the Theonia army of Cypriot as if gathering army and same landing not to conduct the plan of decisive battle. 一个多小时过去,还没发现敌船的踪影,但在岛上已经出现了塞浦路斯的少量骑兵,他们远远的窥探着戴奥尼亚军团士兵在海滩附近修筑营地,却一直不敢靠近,看起来塞浦路斯人似乎并没有集合军队、同登陆的戴奥尼亚军队进行决战的打算。 The Theonia regiment that naturally lands also does not have this plan, now they must do perseveres the landing place, provides the convenience for the arrival of succeeding troops. 当然登陆的戴奥尼亚军团同样也无此打算,他们现在要做的就是坚守登陆地,为后继部队的到来提供便利。 „South express steamer raised a yellow flag!” Observation suddenly loud yelling on flagship mast. “南面的快船升起了一条黄旗！”旗舰桅杆上的瞭望手突然大声的叫喊。 Is waiting for distressed Secker to stand peacefully has not felt excited, instead muttering of some doubts: „Are the Persia warship that catches up with less than us?” 正等得心焦的塞克立安却并没有感到兴奋,反而有些疑惑的喃喃自语:“赶来的波斯战船比我们还少？” Saw that Secker sets up An Liu to show the dissatisfied facial expression, the flag captain instead aspirates lightly, asks: „Sir, can inform various warships to get ready for action?” 看到塞克立安流露出不满足的神情,旗舰舰长反而轻吐了口气,问道:“大人,要不要通知各战船做好战斗准备？” In where Secker set up deck to pace back and forth, pondered a while, then the sinking sound said: „Waits again! Let all express steamers be divided into two parts, part bypasses the Persia warship , to continue investigates to south, part investigates to north.” 塞克立安在甲板上来回踱步,沉思了一会儿,然后沉声说道:“再等一等！让所有的快船分成两部分,一部分绕过波斯战船,继续向南探查,一部分向北探查。” In the flag captain heart moves: „Sir, you suspected that the Persia fleet did divide forces?” 旗舰舰长心中一动:“大人,你怀疑波斯舰队分兵了？” Secker sets up the peaceful calm reply: „I do not think that the Persians courage is so big, dares to lead few warships to launch the attack to us. Let alone I deeply believed that our fleets do not serve as actually too prepare, can easily routs the enemy ship of this quantity completely!” 塞克立安冷静的回答:“我不认为波斯人胆子这么大,敢率领少量的战船向我们发起进攻。更何况我深信我们的舰队其实不用做太多准备,也能轻易的将这个数量的敌船全部击溃！” In the Theonia fleet most depends the crew on south warship can see extremely the outline of distant place enemy ship, to the south sharply drives the Theonia express steamers that through transformation mast on the flag, gives the fleet the information. 就在戴奥尼亚舰队最靠南面的战船上的船员都能看见极远处敌船的轮廓时,向南面急驶的戴奥尼亚快船们通过变换桅杆上的旗帜,将信息传递回舰队。 „Two yellow flags!” The shout of observation makes Secker stand peacefully as before silent, is the flag captain hears another report of observation on the contrary, anxious entraining tightened the double fist: „The Persia warship is away from us less than four li (0.5 km)!” “两条黄旗！”瞭望手的喊声让塞克立安依旧沉默不语,反倒是旗舰舰长听到瞭望手的另一个汇报,紧张的拽紧了双拳:“波斯战船距离我们不到四里！” He looks that sits Secker in deck like the clay sculpture generally sets up secure, start to speak but hesitate several times. 他看着如同泥塑一般坐在甲板上的塞克立安,几次欲言又止。 At this moment, the voice of observation resounds again: „Three yellow flags! The south express steamer raised three yellow flags! North also does not have any change!” 就在这时,瞭望手的声音再次响起:“三条黄旗！南面的快船升起了三条黄旗！北面还没有任何变化！” When Secker stands is calm rises with a spring: „Three yellow flags! The number of Persia warship surpasses us, showing was their main forces came, Persians swallowed the bait!” 塞克立安顿时一跃而起:“三条黄旗！波斯战船的数量超过我们,说明是他们的主力来了,波斯人上钩了！” Secker stands is peacefully excited dances with joy, immediately him has pondered the good combat plan said: „Sounds the bugle, making all warships arrange the circle formation, conducts the defensive operation!” 塞克立安兴奋得手舞足蹈,立刻就将他已经思考好的作战计划说出:“吹响军号,让所有战船排列成圆阵,进行防御作战！” „Circle formation?!” The flag captain stares slightly. “圆阵？！”旗舰舰长略微一愣。 „What's wrong? Thinks that I will only attack, won't defend?!” Secker Lyan faint smile said one. “怎么？以为我只会进攻,不会防守？！”赛克利安似笑非笑的说了一句。 „I transmit immediately!” Worry in flag captain heart has been alleviated, the fleet senior official who obviously he respects has not lost because of the arrival of fighter aircraft calmly. “我马上就去传达！”旗舰舰长心中的担忧得到缓解,显然他敬重的舰队长官并没有因为战机的到来而失去冷静。 „Right, all pontoon arrangements in circle formation most front, to the direction that the Persia fleet attacked!” “对了,将所有的铁船排列在圆阵的最前沿,正对波斯舰队来袭的方向！” „Yes!” “是！” ........................................................................ ……………………………………………………………… This Persia fleet headed by Phoenicia and Cyprus has about thousand warships, divides to be stationed at each naval port of eastern Cyprus, after receiving order that Yali Taka issues, the Cypriot Crew act most actively, they boarded oneself warship at the maximum speed, the harnessing ship of rushing to be first had/left the naval port, then did not wait for the following warship to arrange ship together, along the coast of Cyprus Island, embarked toward west. 这一支由腓尼基和塞浦路斯为首的波斯舰队有近千艘战船,分驻在塞浦路斯东部的各个军港,接到亚利塔卡下达的命令之后,塞浦路斯船员们行动最为积极,他们以最快的速度登上自己的战船,争先恐后的驾船出了军港,然后也不等待后面的战船一起排列船阵,就沿着塞浦路斯岛的海岸,向着西面出发了。 When Yali Taka's flagship drives out of the naval port, he discovers backed up by Cypriot, after many warships leave port, has not stopped, noisy crowd goes to the west. 等到亚利塔卡的旗舰驶出军港时,他才发现在塞浦路斯人的带动之下,很多战船出港之后都未做停留,一窝蜂似的向西行驶。 The Asian leta treibgas as fleet command stamps the feet, but also has no alternative, can only criticize the Cypriot to be stupid, simultaneously hopes when the entire fleet arrives at west bank of Cyprus Island sea area, the Theonia fleet was unable to arrive, he also has the time to rally the fleet. 身为舰队统帅的亚利塔卡气得直跺脚,但对此也无可奈何,只能暗骂塞浦路斯人愚蠢,同时期盼整个舰队到达塞浦路斯岛西岸海域时,戴奥尼亚舰队还未能到达,他还有时间重整舰队。 The Persia fleet has formed a long garrison after leaving port, but in process of travel, because belongs to the degree that the crew of Persia each area invest to be different, this long garrison gradually starts to come apart, the warship of Cyprus in the front row, the Phoenician situated in the center, Syria and other warships falls on...... is located in the front Cypriot warship also to come apart finally, from most depends on the warship that the west Larnaca naval port comes out to be at most front row...... 波斯舰队在出港后就已经形成了一条长长的纵队,而在行驶的过程中由于分属波斯各个地区的船员们投入的程度不同,这条长纵队又逐渐开始脱节,塞浦路斯的战船处于前列,腓尼基人位于中央,叙利亚等其他战船落在最后……而位于前部的塞浦路斯战船也同样有脱节,从最靠西面的拉纳卡军港出来的战船处在最前列…… After experiencing three hours of navigation, the Cypriot warship bypassed westernmost the islands cape from the south, with the help of south wind, the speed speeds up again, crossed merely for 20 minutes, on Cypriot warship hiss looked at the hands to see stayed the Theonia fleet in Gulf, anchors numerous Theonia freighter on beach as well as unceasingly the Theonia soldier who moved toward the beach from the freighter( in fact was the Theonia soldier transports the commodity on freighter back and forth, because has been away from far and psychological process, had misconception by Cypriot observation hands). 在经历了三个多小时的航行之后,塞浦路斯战船从南面绕过了岛屿最西部的海角,在南风的帮助下,航速再次加快,仅仅过了20分钟,塞浦路斯战船上的嘹望手们就望见了停留在海湾里的戴奥尼亚舰队、停靠在海滩上的众多戴奥尼亚货船以及不断从货船走向海滩的戴奥尼亚士兵(实际上是戴奥尼亚士兵来回的搬运货船上的物资,由于距离过远和心理作用,让塞浦路斯瞭望手们产生了错觉)。 The Theonia person is landing!...... This news made all Cypriot Crew feel intense, the faith of security homeland made them forget wearily, made them feel the urgency of situation. According to the military order, they after discovering the Theonia fleet should stop going forward, after other warships converge, again obeys the fleet commander's order to launch the attack. 戴奥利亚人正在登陆！……这个消息让所有的塞浦路斯船员们感到了紧张,保卫家园的信念让他们忘记了疲劳,也让他们感到了局势的紧迫。按照军令,他们在发现戴奥尼亚舰队之后应该停止前进,与其他战船汇合之后,再听从舰队统帅的命令发起进攻。 But at this moment they under the direction of Cypriot Navy general, reduced speed a speed in the transformation lineup process merely, after completion instead in the unceasing acceleration, initiated the charge by the lineup of double garrison to the Theonia fleet. 但此刻他们在塞浦路斯海军将领的指挥下,仅仅是在变换阵形的过程中减慢了一下速度,在完成之后反而在不断的加速,以双纵队的阵形向戴奥尼亚舰队发起了冲锋。 During Greco-Persian Wars, the Near East area city-state warship big and heavy, the crew population is celebrated worldwide with the hull, finally lost to the hull small and flexible Greece Allied armies warship in Salamis naval battle, and in the process that expands to eastern Mediterranean in later Athens loses to the Athens navy repeatedly, forcing city-state of Near East area to abandon the big and improper warship, constructs to use triremes as the fleet of main body, even Phoenicia city-state is still so, therefore to afterward, these double headed dragon Zhanchuan, four oar warships and five oar warships also only then west Mediterranean Carthage still in using, but by Near East area city-state for the Persia fleet of navy main force. The composition is completely consistent with the Athens fleet. 在希波战争时期,近东地区城邦的战船以船体大而重、船员人数多著称于世,结果在萨拉米斯海战中败给了船体小而灵活的希腊联军战船,并且在之后雅典向东地中海扩张的过程中多次败给雅典海军,迫使近东地区的城邦抛弃掉大而不当的战船,重新建造以三层桨战船为主体的舰队,即使是腓尼基城邦也是如此,所以到后来,那些双头龙战船、四层桨战船、五层桨战船也只有西地中海的迦太基还在使用,而以近东地区城邦为海军主力的波斯舰队组成已经完全同雅典舰队一致了。 At this time, although the Cypriot warship had lowered the sail, but sailors rowing furiously, the rate of progression of warship is instead raised in the acceleration, the quick Theonia warship is close, the Cypriot Crew on deck even also in short supply exercise ship curious sizes up on the front enemy ship that to stand erect and sway the crow hanging bridge that high unceasingly, although they had not had fight with the Theonia fleet before, but they had also heard Theonia navy type of unusual warship, many a little alerts. 此时,虽然塞浦路斯战船已经降下了风帆,但水手们奋力的划桨,战船的前进速度反而在加速提升,很快戴奥尼亚战船就近在咫尺,甲板上的塞浦路斯船员甚至还在紧张的操船中好奇的打量前方敌船上那高高竖立并不断摇晃的乌鸦吊桥,虽然之前他们并未与戴奥尼亚舰队有过交手,但他们也听说过戴奥尼亚海军这种奇特的战船,多少有一点戒备。 Because the Theonia warship is almost rotating same place, therefore the both sides warships throughout are the bow to the bow, this time Cypriot warship has not wanted to perish together with the opposite party, therefore the helmsman rotates the ship's rudder slightly, the captain shouted loudly toward the third-class cabin simultaneously: „Receives the oar!” 由于戴奥尼亚战船几乎只是在原地转动,因此双方战船始终是舰首对舰首,这时候的塞浦路斯战船还不想与对方同归于尽,于是舵手略微转动船舵,舰长同时朝底舱高喊:“收桨！”
