The reason is very simple: The Theonia army must the bateau-bridge control on firmly Euphrates river in the hand, to guarantee unobstructed of export-road. 原因很简单:戴奥尼亚军队必须要将幼发拉底河上的这座浮桥牢牢的控制在手中,以保证运输道路的通畅。 When the army starts to build the camp, the soldiers discovered an issue: Area this is the continuous plain, overspreads the somewhat withered and yellow grass everywhere, often obvious bunches of shrubberies and rush, but cannot see trees. 等到军队开始修筑营地,士兵们发现了一个问题:这一带是连绵的平原,到处铺满有些枯黄的小草,不时可见一簇簇的灌木丛和芦草,但就是看不到一棵树木。 It is not able to manufacture the board fence, the soldiers has to unearth the soil, tampers system dirt wall. 无法制作木栅栏,士兵们不得不多挖掘泥土,来夯制土墙。 Naturally also has to make the soldiers happy place, for example here topography exceptionally open, the camps of various regiments can lay out completely, but does not need to look like in Canaan and Syria, because the topography is narrow, has to the hedgehog collection in the same place, almost without the space of maneuver, but Phoenicia not to mention. 当然也有令士兵们高兴的地方,比如这里的地势异常的开阔,各军团的营地可以完全铺陈开来,而不必象在迦南和叙利亚,由于地势狭窄,不得不猬集在一起,几乎没有回旋的空间,而腓尼基就更不用说了。 In addition has to make the soldiers exciting place, is living toward the northern plain on this Bertha Cousse city many animals. The wild ass, antelope and procuress, even have the ostrich, their in groups looks for food on this broad plain, even distant seeing living person, does not escape startled, the four limbs or the wing that because they are good at running make them avoid hunt of human sufficiently. 另外还有令士兵们兴奋的地方,就是在这塔波萨库斯城往北的平原上生活着不少的动物。野驴、羚羊、鸨、甚至还有鸵鸟,它们成群结队的在这宽阔的平原上觅食,甚至远远的望见生人,也不惊慌逃跑,因为他们擅长奔跑的四肢或翅膀足以让他们躲避人类的追捕。 However Theonia army while building camp, sent out most to excel in Nummi Biya light cavalry regiment that on the plain hunted, over a thousand Nummi Biya light cavalry used the tactic to surround and capture the wild ass and antelope, killed the procuress and ostrich in the chase with the bow and arrow, in the short two days of time provided a lot of fresh meat for the soldiers. 但是戴奥尼亚军队在修筑营地的同时,派出了最擅长在平原上狩猎的努米比亚轻骑兵军团,上千名努米比亚轻骑兵使用战术围捕野驴和羚羊,在追逐中用弓箭射杀鸨和鸵鸟,短短两天时间内就为士兵们提供了大量的鲜肉。 In addition, chefs in the transportation battalion also fished for many big sturgeons with the fishing net in Euphrates river. 此外,辎重营里的厨师们还用渔网在幼发拉底河中捕捞了不少大鲟鱼。 The donkey mutton is nutritious, the procuress bird meat is fresh and tender, sturgeon is tasty, only then the ostrich meat is quite rough. The Theonia army since leaves Egypt, goes on an expedition, the dried meat of reserve had finished eating originally, particularly after entering inland, daily food is drinks the hot water, to eat the bread, the soldiers has not thought that unexpectedly in turning into the ruins Bertha Cousse city territory will eat such good food, not only weary completely will go, worked also had the strength. 驴羊肉滋补、鸨鸟肉鲜嫩、鲟鱼鲜美,只有鸵鸟肉较为粗糙。戴奥尼亚军队自从离开埃及,一路征战,原本储备的肉干早已吃完,尤其是在进入内陆之后,每天的食物就是喝热水、啃面包,士兵们没想到居然会在变成废墟的塔波萨库斯城领地内吃到这样的美食,不但疲劳尽去,干活也有了劲头。 Two days later, camp nearby animal kills net Nummi Biya cavalries to large scale to east moves, to seek new prey. 两天之后,将营地附近的动物扑杀一净的努米比亚骑兵们不得不大幅度的向东移动,以寻找新的猎物。 In which one team of cavalries when chase wild ass, even entered the territory in Nicey Fonni inferior (Asia), then their startled sees the limitless thick dust and fog to face them to come in waves, the entire skylight is gloomy. 其中的一队骑兵在追逐野驴的时候,甚至进入了尼塞丰尼亚的领地,接着他们惊赫的望见无边无际的厚厚尘雾朝向他们滚滚而来,整个天光都为之暗淡。 The Persia army came!...... Does not wait for them to run back the camp to notify startled, the mounted scout has fed in this information to king Zhang of camp. 波斯大军来了！……不等他们惊慌的跑回营地报信,侦骑早已经将这个信息传回到营地的王帐。 Davos ordered various regiments to complete the security at the same time, on the one hand requested the mounted scout team to pay close attention to the trend of Persia army, to return momentarily. 戴弗斯一边下令各军团做好警戒,一方面要求侦骑队密切关注波斯军队的动向、随时回报。 By afternoon, Davos received the news again: The Persia army was stopping the advance from Theonia camp 20 miles away, starts the camping recuperation, simultaneously sent out less than 10 people of envoy teams, wants to see right in front of one King Theonia. 到了下午,戴弗斯再次接到消息:波斯军队在距离戴奥尼亚营地20里外停止了前进,开始宿营休整,同时派出了一支不到十人的使者队伍,想要面见戴奥尼亚国王。 ................................................................................................ …………………………………………………………………………………… Terry Bassous before the Theonia cavalry „escorting” under arrives at the Theonia camp, he stops the footsteps, looks into the distance with rapt attention: Present Theonia camp very crude, only then a long Tugou and one meter high earth fence, that camp with Syria definitely is unable to compare, but can make the defense of camp begin to take shape in two days, Theonian really has one set in construction fortification very much. 特瑞巴苏斯在戴奥尼亚骑兵的“护送”下来到戴奥尼亚营地前,他停下脚步,凝神眺望:眼前的戴奥尼亚营地非常的简陋,只有一道长长的土沟和一米多高的土围墙,同叙利亚的那个营地完全无法相比,但是在两天时间内就能让营地的防御初具雏形,戴奥尼亚人在建筑防御工事方面确实很有一套。 Terry Bassous rejoiced secretly the armies rush quite promptly, were pondering simultaneously at heart, if the Theonia army cannot defend, how the army should capture this simple camp? 特瑞巴苏斯暗自庆幸己方大军赶到得比较及时,同时在心里思考着如果戴奥尼亚军队还是稳守不出,己方军队该如何攻取这个简易的营地？ He walks while thinks, arrived at barracks doorway quickly. 他边走边想,很快来到了营门口。 Said is a barrack gate, is actually only the opening of fortified village, the opening place is standing four fully-armed palace guard and law clerk Henie Polis. 说是营门,其实只是土围子的一个豁口,豁口处站着四名全副武装的宫廷卫兵和书记官赫尼波里斯。 „Welcome your arrival, the Persia envoy.” On the Henie Polis mouth is saying welcome, on the face actually cannot see an enthusiasm, instead seems desolate. “欢迎你的到来,波斯的使者。”赫尼波里斯嘴上说着欢迎,脸上却看不到一丝热情,反而显得冷淡。 Terry Bassous shows the vacant facial expression, making Henie Polis realize immediately the opposite party cannot understand Greek, the palace law clerk who speaks several languages also reiterates immediately in the Persia language. 特瑞巴苏斯露出茫然的神情,让赫尼波里斯立刻意识到对方听不懂希腊语,通晓多国语言的宫廷书记官立刻用波斯语又重说了一遍。 Terry Bassous then understands clearly, holds up the head to respond: „I present the instruction of king to come to meet with your kings-” 特瑞巴苏斯这才了然,昂首回应道:“我奉大王的指令前来会见你们的国王-” „Your majesty known your purpose in coming, the same opinion you, come with me.” Henie Polis interrupts his words directly, waved to give a following hand signal, turned around to walk on the round trip. “陛下已知你的来意,同意见你,跟我来吧。”赫尼波里斯直接打断他的话,挥手做了一个跟上的手势,转身就往回走。 Terry Bassous's facial skin twitched several, constrains the unhappiness in heart, follows close on is entering the camp, he collects the mind immediately, starts to observe carefully all around. 特瑞巴苏斯的脸皮抽搐了几下,压抑住心中的不快,紧跟着进入营地,他立刻收束心神,开始细心观察四周。 In his line of sight institute and place, in the camp appears some disorder: The tent not only builds crookedly, but also arranges very much not neatly, causing the channel between tents to be curving ; Puts on the soldier of unpadded garment to tour in the tents, some even being barebacked upper body, face upwards lying down sunbathes by the channel, even if sees their arrivals, does not move the body, very much under Henie Polis's scolding, does not prefer puts aside...... 在他视线所及之处,营地内显得有些紊乱:营帐不但搭建得歪歪斜斜,还布置得很不整齐,导致营帐之间的通道弯弯曲曲;很多穿着单衣的士兵在营帐间游逛,有的甚至赤膊上身,仰躺在通道旁晒太阳,即使看到他们的到来,也不挪动身子,在赫尼波里斯的呵斥下,才很不情愿的移开…… Terry Bassous can clear hears them in the complaint of mumbling: „For these days has been building the camp, died of exhaustion me! Can lie down with great difficulty rest a while, but must disturb, was really annoying!” 特瑞巴苏斯能清晰的听到他们在嘟嘟囔囔的抱怨:“这几天一直在修筑营地,累死我了！好不容易能躺着休息一会儿,还要来打扰,真是烦死人了！” „It is not one to the lesser official who your majesty writes the copy clerk, unexpectedly dares to shout loudly to me! Provoked me, a palm of the hand claps him falls down!” “不就是一个给陛下写文书的小官吗,居然敢对我大喊大叫！惹恼了我,一巴掌把他拍倒在地上！” „Does not march, builds the camp, endless! We had obtained enough wealth, why must toward east-bound, retreated simply!” “不是行军,就是修筑营地,没完没了！我们已经获得了足够的财富,干嘛还要往东进,干脆撤退得了！” ...... …… Yes, Terry Bassous can understand Greek, he actually cannot do intentionally, wants taking advantage of many actual situation that this finds out the Theonia camp, he noticed that leading the way Theonia official complexion becomes more and more ugly, actually has to force to endure patiently, the soldiers who in the end no longer orders these leisures simply allow to pass through, this also makes the rate of progression of Their group slow. 是的,特瑞巴苏斯听得懂希腊语,他却故作不懂,想借此来探得戴奥尼亚营地的更多虚实,他看到那名引路的戴奥尼亚官员脸色变得越来越难看,却又不得不强制忍耐,到最后索性不再命令那些休闲的士兵们让路,这也让他们一行人的前进速度变得缓慢。 Terry Bassous remains silent, on the face actually exhibits a impatient facial expression intentionally. 特瑞巴苏斯保持着沉默,脸上却故意摆出一副不耐烦的神情。 Passed through a barrack with great difficulty, front heard loud noise: Dozens soldiers gather, first railed, afterward unexpectedly began. Shortly after the fully-armed patrol leader rushes, waves the club to scatter it. 好不容易穿过了一个营盘,前面传来了一阵喧闹声:几十个士兵聚集在一起,先是谩骂,后来居然动起手来。没多久全副武装的巡逻队赶到,挥舞棍棒将其驱散。 „What happened?” Terry Bassous's curious asking. “发生了什么事？”特瑞巴苏斯好奇的问道。 Henie Polis is concealing the awkwardness on face, been perfunctory saying: „It‘s nothing, no,...... one group of soldiers in full vigour, conduct the wrestling competition in private, finally makes extremely......” 赫尼波里斯掩饰着脸上的尴尬,敷衍的说道:“没什么,没什么,呃……一群士兵精力旺盛,私下进行摔跤比赛,结果闹得太过……” Terry Bassous has not closely examined again, but actually he heard to be very clear a moment ago: Two teams of soldiers are because competes for the acquired prey to attack brutally. 特瑞巴苏斯没有再追问,但其实他刚才听得很清楚:两队士兵是因为争夺捕获到的猎物而大打出手的。 Finally arrives at the Theonia army big greeting, Terry Bassous hears the quarrel sound that in the tent/account spread, he listens attentively carefully: Probably is arguing must continue to east marches? 终于来到戴奥尼亚军队大帐前,特瑞巴苏斯听到了帐内传出的争吵声,他仔细倾听:好像是在争辩是否要继续向东进军？ „Your majesty, the Persia envoy brings!” Henie Polis's shouted loudly, in the big tent/account quickly restored tranquilly, a vigorous heavy/thick sound passed on: „Leads him to come in!” “陛下,波斯使者带到！”赫尼波里斯的一声高喊,大帐内很快恢复了宁静,一个雄浑厚重的声音传了出来:“带他进来！” Terry Bassous enters the big tent/account, what heaving in sight is 20-30 wears the mail-armor and helmet, to wear bright capstring Theonia general of helmet, turning head of their vision ruthless offense looks to the tent, but central head sits in the big tent/account high wears the mail-armor and helmet, actually to wear the old man of royal crown similarly, he solemn dignified. 特瑞巴苏斯走进大帐,映入眼帘的是20-30个身穿甲胄、头戴鲜艳帽缨的头盔的戴奥尼亚将领,他们目光狠戾的扭头望向账幕,而在大帐中央顶头高坐着同样身穿甲胄、却头戴王冠的老者,他神情肃穆威严。 Terry Bassous goes forward two steps, raises slightly slightly, said on the clear and resonant voice of head high, chest out: „Persia Narnia, Mesopotamia, Armenia, Asia Minor, Egypt, Arabia and India...... and other master, king of kings and flatter various place shake off. Maze son and great Artaxerxes king send me to give you- honored King Theonia brings his personal letter, and hopes for your reply!” 特瑞巴苏斯上前两步,略微欠了欠身,就昂首挺胸的朗声说道:“波斯尼亚、美索不达米亚、亚美尼亚、小亚细亚、埃及、阿拉伯、印度……等诸地的主人、万王之王、阿胡拉.马兹达之子、伟大的阿尔塔薛西斯大王派我给你-尊贵的戴奥尼亚国王带来一封他的亲笔信,并且期盼你的回复！” Terry Bassous said, Henie Polis translated in Greek. 特瑞巴苏斯说完,赫尼波里斯紧接着用希腊语翻译了一遍。 Davos laughs: „Errors that you said a moment ago, your king deceives oneself and others, he should know that he has not been the Egypt master, but now Canaan, Phoenicia, Syria and do not belong to Persia including Asia Minor most parts.” 戴弗斯哈哈一笑:“你刚才所说的有误,你的那位国王太自欺欺人,他应该知道他早已不是埃及的主人,而现在迦南、腓尼基、叙利亚、包括小亚细亚的大部已经不归波斯所有。” Terry Bassous listens to the Henie Polis's translation, the look tranquil response: „War just started, who loses who wins is indefinite, perhaps the in the end Artaxerxes king will also become the Theonia master!” 特瑞巴苏斯听完赫尼波里斯的翻译,神色平静的回应:“战争才刚刚开始,谁输谁赢还不确定,说不定到最后阿尔塔薛西斯大王还会成为戴奥尼亚的主人！” Listens to the translation, the Davos complexion changes. 听完翻译,戴弗斯脸色微变。 Has not waited for him to speak, the side stands up suddenly general, cursed angrily: „Damn Persians, dares to talk nonsense to here unexpectedly, did not fear that I cut your head, when the ball kicks!” 还没等他说话,身旁猛然站起一员将领,怒骂道:“该死的波斯人,居然敢到这里来胡言乱语,就不怕我砍下你的脑袋当球踢！” Davos beckons with the hand: „Sits down, Matonis! Both armies battle not to harm the envoy, this is the tradition, do not make Persians laugh at our Theonian not to pass the etiquette.” 戴弗斯摆摆手:“坐下吧,马托尼斯！两军交战不伤害使者,这是传统,不要让波斯人笑话我们戴奥尼亚人不通礼仪。” Matonis does not listen, glowers toward Terry Bassous as before. 马托尼斯不听,依旧朝特瑞巴苏斯怒目而视。 „Sits down quickly!” The Davos complexion is a little ugly, shouted several continually, Matonis resentful sitting down. “快坐下！”戴弗斯脸色有点难看,连喊了数声,马托尼斯才悻悻的坐下。 Those images and scenes were watched by Terry Bassous. 此情此景被特瑞巴苏斯看在眼里。 A moment later, returns to normal saying that mood Davos refused to admit being inferior: „Yes, the war just now starts, outcome is undecided, perhaps in the end entire Persia is Theonia all! Where to the letter/believes that I do write?” 片刻之后,平复了情绪的戴弗斯才不甘示弱的说道:“是啊,战争才刚开始,胜负未定,说不定到最后整个波斯都将为戴奥尼亚所有！-阿尔塔薛西斯给我写的信在哪儿？” Terry Bassous pulls out the letter from the bosom immediately. 特瑞巴苏斯立刻从怀里掏出信件。 Davos looks all around about, then saying with a smile that looks to disdain: „Letter/believes, I do not look, was inferior your loud read it, making us listen, facing our powerful elite armies, what King Persia who that will lose a battle will frequently say?” 戴弗斯环顾左右,然后面露不屑的笑道:“信,我就不看了,不如你大声的把它读出来,让我们都听听,面对我们强大的精锐军队,那位经常打败仗的波斯国王会说些什么？” High-ranking military officers laughs. 将官们一阵哄笑。 Terry Bassous listened to the translation, has not rebutted with sarcasm, that Theonia general vicious vision let his a little palpitation a moment ago, to avoid meddlesomely, he just likes the expansion letter paper that has not heard, serious read aloud: „ The lord and king of kings eastern Mediterranean to western Mediterranean King Theonia, dozens years ago Theonia is the deer velvet small nation, but hostile aggressive, expansion becomes second nature, never stops invading other country, depends upon to plunder the annexation to expand itself, to threaten and bribe to control his nation, lets the peripheral city-state influence all from to endanger. 特瑞巴苏斯听了翻译,没有反唇相讥,刚才那位戴奥尼亚将领凶狠的目光还是让他有点心悸,为了避免多事,他恍若未闻的展开信笺,神情严肃的朗读道:“东地中海之主、万王之王致西地中海的戴奥尼亚国王,几十年前戴奥尼亚不过是茸尔小邦,但好勇斗狠、扩张成性,从未停止过侵略他国,依靠抢掠吞并壮大自己、威胁利诱控制他邦,让周边的的城邦势力个个自危。 Until now, Persia has the great task that maintains the Mediterranean order, has a mind to teach Theonia early, Mediterranean by the peace. Never expected that Theonia invades my Persia border unexpectedly outrageously, occupies my territory, kills my people, the national is panic-stricken, the god is furious! Today, I lead 1 million revenge armies, exhibits the battlefield east of Bertha Cousse territory, fights a decisive battle with your Theonia, to completely solve the enmity of two countries- can you dare to come?! ” 一直以来,波斯就负有维护地中海秩序的重责,早有心教训戴奥尼亚、还地中海以和平。没想到戴奥尼亚竟悍然入侵我波斯国境,占我领土,杀我民众,国民惊恐,神祗震怒！今日,我率百万复仇大军,在塔波萨库斯领地以东摆开战场,与你戴奥尼亚进行决战,以彻底解决两国的仇怨-你可敢来？！” Terry Bassous with emphasis, said last one word at a time. 特瑞巴苏斯加重语气,一字一顿的说完最后一句。
