„Enoughtime?”Orontesalsocoldsoundsaid: „Ilooknot necessarily! The news that beforespreaddid not say that Theonianbranched outsomearmiesto attack and occupyIsusaba, CastaBroomeand othercitiesto the west, made a connection with the pathfrom Silesia to Syria. Farabais only the harassment, does not dareto stopGreekAllied armiesdirectly, so long asGreekAllied armiespassedTakymountain range, cansmootharrivalSyria, meetwith the Theoniaarmy, the strength of thatwithout doubtbigencouragingenemy!”
“足够的时间?”奥戎塔斯也冷声说道:“我看未必!之前传来的消息不是说戴奥尼亚人分出部分军队向西攻占了伊苏斯、卡斯塔布鲁姆等城,打通了从西里西亚到叙利亚的道路。法拉巴佐斯只是骚扰而已,并不敢正面阻拦希腊联军,只要希腊联军通过了陶基斯山脉,就可以一路顺畅的到达叙利亚,同戴奥尼亚军队会合,那无疑会大大的助长敌人的实力!”At this point, Orontesturns around, respectfulbowstowardPersian king, thenfacial expressionserioussaying: „King, the close combatability of Greeksoldieris very strong, moreoverthisTheonianalsoinmost competentSpartaGreekcity-state, Athens and Thebesarmygatheredatone, althoughaccording to the Pharnabazuscombat report, wasrevolting of Greekmercenarycaused the failure of entirebattle, butalsopossiblyheaded bySparta, Athens and ThebessoldierGreekarmyfirstroutedleft flank that was guardedbyourarmies, caused the sudden change of entirewar, thereforewemustrushbeforeGreekAllied armies, defeatedas soon as possiblein the Theoniaarmy of Syria, canwin the final victory of thiswar!”
说到这里,奥戎塔斯转过身来,恭敬的朝波斯王鞠躬,然后神情郑重的说道:“大王,希腊士兵的近战能力很强,而且这一次戴奥尼亚人还将希腊城邦中最有实力的斯巴达、雅典和底比斯军队聚集在了一起,虽然根据法那巴佐斯的战报,是希腊雇佣兵的叛变导致了整个会战的失败,但也可能是以斯巴达、雅典、底比斯士兵为首的希腊军队首先击溃了由我们的军队镇守的左翼,才导致了整个战局的突变,所以我们必须在希腊联军赶到之前,尽快击败在叙利亚的戴奥尼亚军队,才能稳获这场战争的最后胜利!”In the past, Oronteswas orderedto obstruct the GreekExpeditionary force, finallyfailed badly, the Spartasoldierfearfulimpulse of made very deepimpressiononhim, thereforethiswasdozensyears of governor, to just like the local despotcommongreat personto be ableinArmeniato abandon the arrogance of Persiaaristocrattemporarily, gave the warning.
当年,奥戎塔斯奉命阻截希腊远征军,结果遭受惨败,斯巴达战士可怕的冲击力给他留下了很深的印象,所以这位在亚美利亚当了几十年总督、犹如土皇帝一般的大人物能够暂时抛弃波斯贵族的傲慢,提出警告。Hiswordsmake the Artaxerxescomplexionimmediatelyugly, becausehealsohas the similarmemory: InthatbattlewithCyrus the Younger, hewitnessedover ten thousandGreek Hoplitechargesto routhisleft flank, at that timealmostmadehimfall intodesperately.
他的话立刻让阿尔塔薛西斯的脸色变得难看,因为他也有着同样的记忆:在同小居鲁士的那一场会战中,他可是亲眼目睹了上万名希腊重步兵一个冲锋就击溃了他的左翼,当时几乎让他陷入绝望。Butregarding several other generalon the scene, the GreekarmycanrepelDariusandKingXerxestwice, andwith the battle of Persiaarmyinmaintainswinsin the laterdozensyearsmanylost/carryingfewadvantages, itobviouslycompared withnot haveyourrunner-uptoDio of Persiaarmycover oneself with gloryto be worththembringing to the attentionuntil nowalone( a Cypriotwar, the Persiafleetdisastrous defeat, has not createdto shockto the Persiaaristocrat, because the naval battleis notexcelling of Persians, the entirePersiafleetalmostdoes not havePersiansto participate. Westthatbattleas forAsia Minor, byArtaxerxeshad not been announced that the realcondition, therefore the Pharnabazuscombat reportmadethemhave the wrongjudgment, the failure of Persiaarmycame from the betrayal of Greekmercenariesmainly).
而对于其他几位在场的将领而言,希腊军队能够两次击退大流士、薛西斯国王,并且在之后的几十年同波斯军队的交战中保持胜多负少的优势,它显然要比至今为止还没有单独对波斯军队取得辉煌胜利的戴奥你亚军队更值得他们引起重视(塞浦路斯一战,波斯舰队惨败,并没有对波斯贵族造成震撼,因为海战不是波斯人的擅长,整个波斯舰队也几乎没有波斯人参与。至于小亚细亚西部的那一场会战,由阿尔塔薛西斯并没有公布真实的状况,因此法那巴佐斯的战报让他们产生了错误的判断,波斯军队的失败主要来自于希腊雇佣军的背叛)。Saw that indooreveryone'svisionfocusesononeself, TerryBassousonetight, he is very clear: Today'sconferencefrom the beginning, MuldorNiaosi, HalperGosse, Orontessuccessivelyraised the questionto the strategy that the formerPersiaarmyadopted, thisis in fact expressingtohimis discontented.
看到室内所有人的目光都聚焦在自己身上,特瑞巴苏斯心里一紧,他心里很清楚:今天的会议一开始,马尔多尼奥斯、哈尔珀格斯、奥戎塔斯就先后对之前波斯大军所采取的策略提出质疑,这实际上是在对他表达不满。
The TerryBassous'scontradictionswiththesePersiatoparistocratsis long-standing, itsbasic reason came from the envy. Persian kingregardsTerryBassousis a trusted aide, always followstohim, thisisseveralis unable to comparefar away fromkingTing'skingdomhigh-ranking court officialobviously, naturallythesealsoinvolve the contradiction between Persiaoldaristocrats and emergingaristocrats. Since armymeeting, theyexpressedon many occasionsdiscontentedlytoTerryBassous, butthere isshielding of Persian king, matterlet it gofinally, buttheirjointlylaunches an attacktodaymakesTerryBassouslook that fromArtaxerxesfelttohislookwas not wonderful: Thisdisplays the mediocrekingmilitarilytowhethermustcontinue the strategy that implementshimto proposeto have the vacillation!
特瑞巴苏斯同这几位波斯顶级贵族的矛盾由来已久,其根本原因来自于嫉妒。波斯王视特瑞巴苏斯为心腹,对他言听计从,这显然是几位远离王廷的王国重臣所无法比拟的,当然这其中也涉及到波斯旧贵族与新兴贵族之间的矛盾。自从大军会合之后,他们就多次对特瑞巴苏斯表达不满,但有波斯王的袒护,事情最终都不了了之,但是今天他们的联合发难却让特瑞巴苏斯从阿尔塔薛西斯看向他的眼神中感到了一丝不妙:这位在军事上表现平庸的君王对是否要继续实施他提出的策略发生了动摇!Is goodis preparedbecause ofhimbeforehand, unhurriedlypulls out a thingfrom the bosom, saidin a soft voice: „ThisisSirMarkTornossends out the most capablesubordinate, after the multipleinvestigations, spendsa lot oftime, the Theoniaarmycampchart of carefulplan, Iduplicatedonespecially, youlook.”
好在他事先已有准备,不慌不忙的从怀里掏出一件东西,轻声说道:“这是马克托诺斯大人派出最精干的手下,经过多次的探查,花费不少时间,精心绘制的戴奥尼亚军队营地图,我特意复写了一份,你们看一看。”Saying, helaunches the whitecloth in hand, placesin the centralopen area.
说着,他将手中的白色布帛展开,摆放在中央的空地上。FirstwalkedinMarkTornos who the one sidelooks on, looked downto placein the cloth of ground, thensaid: „Thistrulyis the Theoniacampmap that Idraw uphand/subordinate.”
原本在一旁旁观的马克托诺斯首先走过去,低头看了看摆放在地上的布帛,然后说道:“这确实是我手下绘制的戴奥尼亚营地地图。”MuldorNiaosi, Orontes, the HalperGossethreepeoplewalksluggishly, lookedcareless, butis quickontheirfacesto reveal the surprisedlook, bends the waist the carefulexamination.
马尔多尼奥斯、奥戎塔斯、哈尔珀格斯三人慢吞吞的走过去,漫不经心的看了看,但很快他们的脸上露出惊讶的眼神,弯下腰来仔细的查看。Artaxerxesseesthissituation, making the eunuchendcome a table, places the map above.阿尔塔薛西斯见此情形,让宦官端来一张桌子,将地图摆放在上面。Whilethreepeopleobserve the mapwith rapt attention, TerryBassoussinkingsoundsaid: „5years ago, Theoniamilitary invasionGreece, variousGreekcity-statejoin up, formed a about100,000people of army, originallyhas the opportunityto repel the Theoniaarmy, butTheonianconstructeddefended the campsophisticated, tempted the Greekarmiesto attack, the number of Greeksoldierwasto defendcamp2-3times of Theoniansoldier, butbesieged for twomonths, has not actually obtainedmanyscores, insteadmadeTheonianfor a long timeattackfruitless, the rear guardvoidgolden opportunityusingGreeks, sending the armyto landThessaly, finallyGreecereversed toTheonia, oh......”
就在三人凝神察看地图的同时,特瑞巴苏斯沉声说道:“五年前,戴奥尼亚军队入侵希腊,希腊各城邦联合起来,组建了一支近10万人的大军,本来有机会击退戴奥尼亚军队,但是戴奥尼亚人修建了结构复杂的防御营地,引诱希腊大军来进攻,希腊士兵的数量是防御营地的戴奥尼亚人士兵的2-3倍,但是围攻了两个多月,却没有取得多少战绩,反而让戴奥尼亚人利用希腊人久攻无果、后防空虚的大好机会,派军队登陆塞萨利,最终希腊倒向了戴奥尼亚,唉……”Thissighedlightlyas iftwistson the heart of Artaxerxes, lethimby the tightchairback: If not the rebellion of Asia Minorperson, Persiahad been recapturedbyhim, eventhere is a support of nearbyAsia Minor, Greecewill not surrenderquickly!......
这一声轻叹仿佛拧在了阿尔塔薛西斯的心上,让他靠紧椅背:如果不是小亚细亚人的叛乱,波斯早已被他重新夺回,甚至有了小亚细亚的就近支持,希腊也不会这么快就投降!……„The Theoniaarmythesewantsto play the same old tricktime, youlooked that- the both sides of itscampare depending upon the mountain ridge, the rear areais the bay, we can only launch the attackfrom the upfront, butthispositive/directwidthis narrow, obviouslydoes not favorusdisplayingsoldiermanyadvantages.”
“戴奥尼亚军队这一次又想故伎重演,你们看-它营地的两侧都依靠着山岭,后方又是海湾,我们只能从正面发起进攻,而这个正面的宽度狭窄,明显不利于我们发挥兵多的优势。”TerryBassousis gesticulatingon the map, sinceresaying: „ Youlookedagain- the camp that theyconstruct, constructedtwoplywoodwallsunexpectedly, the frontboard fenceis lowonly about onemeter, then the surfacewoodenwallas high as 4 meters, twowallsto30meters, middlealsotrench, althoughourdensespiesare unable to find out by secret inquiry the depth of trench, butaccording to the pastTheoniaarmy the situation of Peloponnesedefensive operation, itwas easily bridged oververy muchdifficultly, ifoursoldierswantto arrive under the followingrailroad tiewall is quite difficult, mustspenda lot oftime. Butyoulooked that- the turretonbehindthisrailroad tiewallis crowded, Theoniandefinitelywill arrangelots ofarchers above, launches the fiercelong-distanceattacktoourattackingcamparmy.
特瑞巴苏斯在地图上比划着,语重心长的说道:“你们再看-他们建造的营地,居然建造了两层木墙,前面的木栅栏非常低矮仅有一米左右,而后面的木墙高达4米,两墙相距30米,中间还有一条壕沟,虽然我们的密谍无法探知壕沟的深度,但根据当年戴奥尼亚军队在伯罗奔尼撒防御作战的情况来看,它很难被轻易跨过,我们的士兵要想到达后面的这一道木墙下会比较困难,要花费很多时间。而你们看-在后面这一道木墙上塔楼密集,戴奥尼亚人必然会在上面布置大量的弓箭手,对我们的攻营部队进行猛烈的远程攻击。Moreover, the subordinate of SirHalperGossealsomentioned an information, neededusto bring to the attention. These days, the Theoniaarmysends out...... to act according tousto understandin the campfrontestablishmenttrap that lots ofsoldiersdid not stand still these situations, canknow the Theoniacampdefenseis strict, before ourarmiesmustoverrun to the truecampwoodenwallmerely, may paymassivecasualties, let aloneislong timebesieges, onlyneeds1-2stormsto be defeated, theseattachedarmiespossiblylose the fighting spirit, Theonian that onceconserves strengthlaunches the comprehensivecounter-attack, the situation of ourarmy will be very dangerous! ”
另外,哈尔珀格斯大人的手下还提到一个情报,需要我们引起注意。在这段时间内,戴奥尼亚军队派出大量士兵一直不停歇的在营地前方设置陷阱……根据我们所了解到的这些情况,可以知道戴奥尼亚营地防御非常严密,我们的军队仅仅是要攻到真正的营地木墙前,就可能会付出大量的死伤,别说是长时间围攻,只需要1-2强攻失败,那些附属部队就可能失去斗志,一旦养精蓄锐的戴奥尼亚人发起全面反击,我们军队的处境就会十分危险!”ThreePersiabigaristocratsare the long-termseriessoldiers, calculatesto thoroughly understand the military, comparesthismap, naturallyunderstands that TerryBassous'swordsdid not say things just to frighten people, althoughloathedthisperson, butalsonotstiffrefuted, butstares at the map, pondered diligently, the means that wantedto findto solve the problem.
三位波斯大贵族都是长期统兵,都算通晓军事,对照这份地图,自然明白特瑞巴苏斯的话并非危言耸听,尽管厌恶这个人,但也并没有生硬的进行反驳,而是凝视地图,冥思苦想,希望找到解决问题的办法。After a shortdreariness, Orontesunwillingquestion: „Wemusttreathere, whatdoes not do, buthelplesslylooks at the TheoniaarmyandGreekAllied armiesmeeting?!”
在一个短暂的沉寂之后,奥戎塔斯不甘的反问道:“难道我们要一直待在这里,什么都不做,只是眼睁睁的看着戴奥尼亚军队和希腊联军会合?!”TerryBassouswaits for the opposite partyto havethisinquiry, herepliedcalmly: „Theoniaarmyinvasionourborder, attacks and occupiesCanaan, to fly from the machineandSyriain a threatening mannercontinuously, wethinktheywill continuetoeastcaptureMesopotamia, therefore the king the leading personallyarmycatches up withBerthaCousse, butTheonianactuallyslysuddenlystopsgoing forward, wantsto consumeusthrough the defense, simultaneouslywaits formeeting of GreekAllied armies, wecannot certainlymakeTheonianachieve wishes, must therefore forcethemto leave the camp, launches the attacktouson own initiative, the entirewaris favorableforus.”
特瑞巴苏斯就等着对方有此提问,他冷静的回答道:“戴奥尼亚军队气势汹汹的侵入我们的国境,连续攻占迦南、飞离机、叙利亚,原本我们以为他们会继续向东攻入美索不达米亚,所以大王才亲率大军赶来塔波萨库斯,但戴奥尼亚人却狡猾的突然停止前进,想通过防御来消耗我们,同时等待希腊联军的会合,我们当然不能让戴奥尼亚人如愿,因此必须迫使他们离开营地,主动向我们发起进攻,整个战局才对我们更有利。”HalperGossesneers saying: „Since the Theoniaarmycantransfer the defensefrom the smoothattacksituationsuddenly, obviouslytheirkingsare quite discrete, wishmakeshimgive upconstructing the goodcamp, leadscompared withournumberfewarmies, attackstouson own initiative, only ifheis a fool, otherwisethisis impossible!”
哈尔珀格斯冷笑道:“既然戴奥尼亚军队能够从顺利的进攻态势中突然转为防御,可见他们的国王比较谨慎,想要让他放弃已经构筑好的营地,率领远比我们数量少的军队,主动向我们进攻,除非他是个傻子,否则这根本不可能!”TerryBassousrepliedconfidently: „Ihad understoodin detailKingTheonia, thisisveryself-confidentboldGreeks, heonceled the quantityarmy that repeatedlyis less than the enemy side, launches the attackon own initiative, won, this is also the Theoniain just dozens yearsrapidexpansion, andbecomes one of our opponentreasons, obviouslyheis not a person, because the armypopulationfew, does not dareto launch the attackon own initiative, heloveson the contraryvery muchadventurous, because the kingleads the armyto rushpromptly, the both sidesmilitarydiffersextremelydisparately, hetakes the defensivetemporarily, towait forreinforcements, so long aswepaysomeprices, Ibelieve that hehas togive updefending., Seeksusto fight a decisive battleon own initiative!”
特瑞巴苏斯胸有成竹的回答道:“我详细了解过戴奥尼亚国王,这是一个非常自信大胆的希腊人,他曾经多次率领数量少于敌方的军队,主动发起进攻,都获得了胜利,这也是戴奥尼亚在短短几十年内迅速扩张、并且成为我们对手的原因之一,可见他并不是一个因为军队人数少、就不敢主动发起进攻的人,相反他很爱冒险,只是因为大王率领大军及时赶到,双方兵力相差太过悬殊,他才暂时采取守势,以等待援军,但只要我们付出一些代价,我相信他将不得不放弃防御,主动寻求我们决战!”„Whatpricepays?!”Artaxerxesanxiousasking.
“付出什么代价?!”阿尔塔薛西斯急切的问道。TerryBassousgazes atPersian kingby the extremelyseriousfacial expression, the sinkingsoundsaid: „King, PharnabazuscanconstrainGreekAllied armies, is mainly becauseheburnt downandwithdrew the villages and small towns on GreekAllied armiesroute of advance, makingGreekAllied armiesnot collectanygrains and commodity, causingtheirtransportationsuppliesto be difficult. Nowwe can also adopt the similartactic, the commodity that allpeople that withdraw the BerthaCoussenearby regions, the burning downvillageandcannotcarry off, betweenGentazBerthaCousse and Syrianareasturn intopiece of whiteplace-”
特瑞巴苏斯以极其严肃的神情注视波斯王,沉声说道:“大王,法那巴佐斯之所以能够拖住希腊联军,主要是因为他焚烧和撤走了希腊联军前进路线上的村镇,让希腊联军收集不到任何粮秣和物资,导致他们的运输供给困难。现在我们也可以采取相似的战术,撤走塔波萨库斯附近地区的所有民众,焚烧村庄和不能带走的物资,让塔波萨库斯与叙利亚地区之间变成一片白地-”
