When Translator Henie Polis the tone is persuasive, the Davos hear, the frown but is actually still vertical, numerous snort/hum, said angrily: „Goes back to tell Artaxerxes, I accepted under him war declaration-” 尽管赫尼波里斯翻译时语气婉转,戴弗斯听完,依旧双眉倒竖,重重的哼了一声,愤然说道:“回去告诉阿尔塔薛西斯,我接受了他下的战书-” „Your majesty!” Alexius interrupts his speech anxiously: „Cannot comply! Under Persians dares the war declaration, definitely is prepared, we cannot comply rashly, must give careful consideration, in order to avoid their clever tricks!” “陛下！”阿莱克西斯急切的打断他的说话:“不能答应啊！波斯人之所以敢下战书,肯定早已有了准备,我们不能冒然答应,必须要慎重考虑,以免中了他们的诡计！” „Yes, your majesty!” Feely Hughes also urged: „Although in the letter/believes said that ‚1 million armies’ definitely boasted, but the quantity of Persia army truly big surpasses us, we cannot engage in a decisive battle rashly, should first defend the camp, then seeks for fighter aircraft-” “是啊,陛下！”菲利修斯也紧接着劝道:“虽然信中所说‘有百万大军’肯定是吹嘘,但波斯军队的数量确实大大的超过我们,我们不能冒然进行会战,应该先稳守营地,再寻找战机-” „Nonsense!” Litom stands the rebuttal: „Persia army population, although are many, but timid fear war ; Although our military the person are few, actually fierce rapid advance. Therefore should while the soldiers morale abundant opportunity, launch the battle with the Persia army, but cannot defend constantly, otherwise the pressure of logistical supply will be greater......” “胡说八道！”利扎鲁站起来反驳:“波斯军队人数虽多,但胆怯畏战;我军虽然人少,却勇猛锐进。所以应该趁着士兵们士气正盛之机,与波斯军队展开会战,而不能一味防御,否则后勤供给的压力会加大……” „Litom said right! We penetrate the enemy territory, only has forges bravely ahead, victory that may be the last! Once hesitant slow, will only make the entire army be bogged down in difficulties!......” Matonis also expressed own opinion loudly. “利扎鲁说得没错！我们深入敌境,唯有奋勇向前,才有可能获得最后的胜利！一旦犹豫迟缓,只会让整个军队陷入困境！……”马托尼斯也大声表达自己的意见。 Before long the time, in the entire big tent/account becomes lively, seems to be in no way different in the situation of off-balance hearing with beforehand Terry Bassous, dozens general are divided into two schools, supports or opposes engage in a decisive battle, both sides lock horns, being hard reaches an agreement. 不一会儿时间,整个大帐内变得热闹起来,跟之前特瑞巴苏斯在帐外听到的情形似乎并无二致,几十个将领分成两派,支持或反对会战,双方争执不休,难以达成一致。 Terry Bassous sees with one's own eyes King Theonia to make noise to stop several times, unexpectedly does not have an effect, makes an effort to sound until his guard rouses at the same time, the people stopped clamoring. 特瑞巴苏斯亲眼看到戴奥尼亚国王几次出声制止,居然都不起作用,直到他身边的卫士用力敲响一面鼓,众人才停止了喧哗。 Davos stands up, somewhat shames the angry loudness saying: „Do not struggle, I have decided! Persians, goes back to tell your king, after two days, fights a decisive battle!” 戴弗斯站起身,有些羞恼的大声说道:“你们都别争了,我已经决定了！波斯人,回去告诉你的国王,两日之后进行决战！” When Terry Bassous goes out of the Theonia camp, the footsteps are lively, is relaxed, because he not only completes the task and success that Persian king gave made King Theonia receive the war declaration, but also he also through this going abroad on a diplomatic mission, understood the actual situation of Theonia army time: They not such as in hearsay such clever in fighting, the soldier exhausted war-weariness, general is overbearingly difficult to tame, that King Theonia is not intrepid like the hearsay, he is not even able to coerce and urge general hand/subordinate completely...... 特瑞巴苏斯走出戴奥尼亚营地时,脚步是轻快的,心情是放松的,因为他不但完成了波斯王交给的任务、成功的让戴奥尼亚国王接下了战书,而且他也通过这一次的出使,了解到了戴奥尼亚军队的虚实:他们并非如传闻中的那样善战,士兵疲惫厌战,将领骄横难驯,那位戴奥尼亚国王也不像传闻中那么强悍,他甚至无法完全压服和驱使手下的将领…… Terry Bassous deeply feels the Theonia army to reveal these flaws of will make the odds of success of Persia army increase, he very gratified take risk to go abroad on a diplomatic mission Theonia military compound worth. 特瑞巴苏斯深感戴奥尼亚军队所显露出来的这些缺陷将使波斯军队的胜算大增,他很欣慰自己冒险出使戴奥尼亚军营十分的值得。 His anxious stepping up to warhorse, wishes one could to return to the station immediately, reports him to discover to Persian king here, had not actually detected completely stands the self-satisfied smile on the Henie Polis face of barracks doorway reappearing. 他急切的跨上战马,恨不得立刻返回驻地,向波斯王汇报他在这里的发现,却完全没有发觉站在营门口的赫尼波里斯脸上浮现的一丝得意的笑容。 But in the Persia envoy after the big tent/account, in the big tent/account lives it up again. 而在波斯使者远离大帐之后,大帐内再次热闹起来。 „A moment ago my performance how?” “刚才我的表演怎么样？” „Matonis, has not really looked, you can definitely be an actor in the Thurii big theater!” “马托尼斯,真没看出来啊,你完全可以在图里伊大剧场当一名演员！” „Haha, when the actor exempted, I only cared that Persians can be swindled, after all we mobilized so many people, to spend so many energy to perform in this play urgently, cannot waste!” “哈哈,当演员就免了,我只关心波斯人会不会上当,毕竟我们紧急动员了这么多人、花费了这么多的精力来演这场戏,可不能白费！” „I have been observing that Persia envoy a moment ago, we spoke each time, his expression will have a change, he likely could understand Greek, this precisely explained that he is paying attention to observe the situations of our camp.” “我刚才一直在观察那位波斯使者,每次我们说话的时候,他的表情都会有一点变化,他很可能听得懂希腊语,这正好说明他在留心观察我们营地的情况。” „Therefore Persians is sly, cannot escape from your majesty plan!” “所以说波斯人再狡猾,也逃不出陛下的谋划！” ...... …… When the numerous general mood discussed warmly, Davos coughs lightly, the entire big tent/account is peaceful immediately, with the beforehand Persia envoy, when compares, simply is huge difference. 待众将领情绪热烈的议论了一阵之后,戴弗斯轻咳一声,整个大帐顿时安静下来,和之前波斯使者在的时候相比,简直是天壤之别。 Davos looks all around the people, the sinking sound said: „, Makes us discuss conducts the strategy of decisive battle now together with Persia.” 戴弗斯环顾众人,沉声说道:“诸位,现在让我们一起来商讨同波斯进行决战的策略。” ........................................................................ ……………………………………………………………… November 3 , 364 early morning( the Kingdom of Theonia 30 years), „wū wū wū wū......” sharp bugle sound resounded suddenly, in the tranquil Theonia camp lived it up quickly. 公元前364年11月3日清晨(戴奥尼亚王国30年),“呜呜呜呜……”尖锐的军号声骤然响起,原本宁静的戴奥尼亚营地内很快热闹起来。 „Brothers, do not have a long lazy sleep, is quick!......” When the platoon leader awaken soldier , the chefs of various regiment transportation battalions have started to prepare the breakfast for the soldiers. “兄弟们,别睡懒觉了,快起来！……”就在小队长们叫醒手下的士兵时,各军团辎重营的厨师们已经开始在为士兵们准备早餐。 When the bugle sound gets up, Davos also wakes up immediately, the guard from the sleep sees the income, his first few words asked: „Outside weather how?” 当军号声响起时,戴弗斯也立刻从睡梦中醒来,看到进帐的卫兵,他第一句话就问:“外面的天气怎样？” „Your majesty, the weather is very good, has not rained, moreover does not have the wind.” “陛下,天气很好,没有下雨,而且也没有风。” „Is the fine weather of combat!” Davos sighed one. “是个作战的好天气啊！”戴弗斯感叹了一声。 After the Theonia army enters the Mesopotamia plain, the four seasons become somewhat distinct, here early fall temperature is somewhat low, the air is quite dry, the cloudless day are many, but the rainy day are few, these are advantageous to Theonia army the combat of focusing on heavy infantry, only not good blows wind frequently. 在戴奥尼亚军队进入美索不达米亚平原之后,四季就变得有些分明,这里的初秋气温有些低,空气较为干燥,晴天多而雨天少,这些都对以重步兵为主的戴奥尼亚军队的作战有利,唯一不好的就是经常刮风。 Washes, the guard end comes the breakfast: One bowl of viscous oatmeals, one bowl of hot procuress donkey soup, the most block steams the sturgeon fish, big bread that two add the cheese......, 洗漱完毕,卫兵端来早餐:一碗粘稠的燕麦粥,一碗热腾腾的鸨驴汤,大半块清蒸鲟鱼肉,两块加奶酪的大面包……, Henie Polis income time, was seeing that Davos stares at the dinner plate to be lost in thought that immediately said: „Your majesty you felt relieved that the breakfast of soldiers is similar to you! In order to meet your requirements, the transportation battalion caught a day of fish on Euphrates river yesterday, the light cavalries ran over a hundred li (0.5 km) toward north, catches some wild animals......” 赫尼波里斯进帐的时候,正看到戴弗斯盯着餐盘出神,当即说道:“陛下您就放心吧,士兵们的早餐跟您差不多！为了达到您的要求,昨天辎重营可是在幼发拉底河上捕了一天的鱼,轻骑兵们往北跑了上百里,才捕获到一些野兽……” „Decides a victory and defeat of battle is mainly the pre-war careful preparation.” Davos takes up a piece of bread, earnest saying: „Today's battle will be very perhaps long, the soldiers must eat enough food, can have the sufficient physical strength to support. Considering that is formation may only continue at noon, Feely Hughes had informed the transportation battalion yesterday, making them prepare the bread, making the soldiers carry the battlefield, pre-battle eats up in again.” “决定一场会战的胜负主要是战前细致的准备。”戴弗斯拿起一块面包,认真的说道:“今天的这场会战恐怕会很漫长,士兵们必须要吃足够的食物,才能有充足的体力去支撑。考虑到光是列阵就可能会持续到中午,菲利修斯昨天已经通知辎重营,让他们多准备面包,让士兵们携带去战场,在战斗前再进行加餐。” „Listened to your majesty your saying, I to winning the victory of this battle was full of confidence, because Persian king impossible like us for his huge army preparation such rich food.” Henie Polis flattered one, then sits to nearby wooden chair, hesitant, said: „...... I heard that here person forbids to catch this fish, said that it is the divine object, will enrage the god......” “听陛下您这一说,我对赢得这场会战的胜利更是充满了信心,因为波斯王不可能像我们这样为他庞大的军队准备这么丰富的食物。”赫尼波里斯奉承了一句,然后坐到旁边的木椅,犹豫了一下,又说道:“……我听说这里的人禁止捕获这种鱼,说它是神物,会激怒神祗……” „The god of enemy is angrier, great Hades was happier.” Davos is saying unhurriedly, bit a cod meat, chewed several, puts out the fishbone: „Did you finish eating the breakfast?” “敌人的神祗越愤怒,伟大的哈迪斯就越高兴。”戴弗斯不慌不忙的说着,咬了一大口鱼肉,嘴嚼了几下,吐出鱼刺:“你吃完早餐了？” „Finished eating early.” Henie Polis complained: „Your majesty, I like you, the big fight cannot regard, if ordinary, I am excited a evening not to sleep, today early got up, you take a look at me, eye socket black.” “早吃完了。”赫尼波里斯诉苦道:“陛下,我可不像您,再大的战斗都能视若平常,我兴奋得一晚上都没睡着觉,今天早早的就起来了,您瞧瞧我,眼圈都还是黑的。” „You you......” Davos look at him to point at the funny facial expression of oneself eye socket, smiled. “你呀你……”戴弗斯瞧着他手指自己眼眶的滑稽神情,笑了。 He finished eating the breakfast, chatted a while with Henie Polis, the palace officer of the guard comes to report: „Your majesty, various regiments have started to line up in formation the camp.” 他吃完早餐,同赫尼波里斯聊了一会儿,宫廷卫队长就进来报告:“陛下,各军团已经开始列队出营。” Davos then dresses the mail-armor and helmet, went out of the big tent/account, the guard has pulled his warhorse. 戴弗斯这才穿戴好甲胄,走出大帐,卫兵已经牵来了他的战马。 This is a mature Luthy Tanja stallion, plump and sturdy, the fur along sliding, is the yellowish brown color, moreover is exceptionally big, it non-stop is digging the soil before the hoof, but also shakes the head to fling the neck, does not seem to want to be pulled, before but Davos arrives at its body, it is peaceful immediately, lowers the head, approaches Davos, low voice. 这是一匹壮年的卢西塔尼亚公马,膘肥体壮,毛皮顺滑,呈棕黄色,而且异常高大,它不停的用前蹄刨着泥土,还摇头甩脖,似乎不想被人牵着,但当戴弗斯走到它身前时,它却立刻安静下来,低下头,凑近戴弗斯,小声的哼鸣。 Davos is patting its face, said with a smile: „Hi, Nicki, you must fight with me together.” 戴弗斯轻拍着它的脸,笑着说道:“嗨,尼基,你又要跟我一块去战斗了。” Nicki as if understood, rubbed the hand of Davos, then holds up the head, cheerful neighing. 尼基似乎听懂了,蹭了蹭戴弗斯的手,然后昂起头,欢快的嘶鸣。 Since arrives at this world, this is the fifth warhorse that Davos rides, extremely possibly is also last. 自从来到这个世界,这已经是戴弗斯所骑乘的第五匹战马,极可能也是最后一匹。 Davos sighs with emotion patted the horseback, then turns over/stands up to start, under the guards of 1000 fully-armed palace guards, had/left in the camp. 戴弗斯略带感慨的拍了拍马背,然后翻身上马,在1000名全副武装的宫廷卫兵的护卫下,出了内营。 Is gathering dozens individuals at the exit, sees Davos to come, some people cannot bear shout: „Your majesty, we waited nearly for a half hour, how you come out, soldiers already camp!” 在出口处聚集着几十个人,看到戴弗斯过来,有人忍不住喊道:“陛下,我们都等了快半个小时了,您怎么才出来,士兵们都已经出营了！” Although lies down that person on carriage speaks is a little rude, but Davos has not been angry, said with a smile: „Amintas, your anxious temperament to old had not changed. No rush, we have not arrived, the fight will not start.” 尽管躺在马车上的那个人出言有点不逊,但戴弗斯并没有生气,笑道:“阿明塔斯,你这个急脾气到老了也没变。别着急,我们没到场,战斗是不会开始的。” „Your majesty!” Shero Nims, Epiphanes, Giorgris, Martius and the others go forward to salute upon meeting immediately. “陛下！”希洛尼姆斯、埃皮忒尼斯、吉奥格里斯、马尔提乌斯等人立刻上前见礼。 Davos visits them to ask: „Did brothers, prepare to fight?” 戴弗斯看着他们问道:“兄弟们,准备好战斗了吗？” 30 years ago, Davos becomes the mercenaries leader, and after was winning the mercenary trust completely, often before the fight will say such words, this moment veterans listen actually to have mixed emotions in the ear, a moment later the excited loudness shouts: „Prepared!!” 在30年前,戴弗斯成为雇佣军首领、并且在完全赢得雇佣兵信任之后,经常会在战斗之前说这样的话,此刻老将们听在耳中却是百感交集,片刻之后激动的大声喊道:“准备好了！！” The Davos right hand makes an effort to wield forward: „That!” 戴弗斯右手用力向前一挥:“那就出发吧！” After the veterans meet, the entire team across the spacious camp channel, quickly had/left the big camp. 和老将们会合之后,整个队伍穿过宽敞的营地通道,很快出了大营。 .............................................................................. …………………………………………………………………… The Theonia army is not collects in together again, but is each regiment is leading by legatus, after having own barrack, goes to the scheduled battlefield directly, therefore more than 20 teams are almost are marching forward to east abreast in row. 戴奥尼亚军队并非是汇集在一起再出发,而是各个军团由军团长带领着,出了自己的营盘之后,直接前往预定战场,因此20多支队伍几乎是并排着向东行进。 Because had just had the breakfast, for does not waste the physical strength, the approaching speeds of various teams are very slow, the soldiers chatted to chat in the team, the team officers did not forbid, even also provoked the topic on own initiative, if were looked by the person not in the know, but also thinks that they were go to the picnic rather than to conduct the life and death fight. 因为刚吃过早餐、又为了不浪费体力,各支队伍的行进速度都很慢,士兵们在队伍中说笑聊天,队官们也不禁止,甚至还主动挑起话题,若是被不了解内情的人看了,还以为他们是去郊游而不是去进行生死战斗。 After one hour, various teams went out of one after another by Bertha Cousse and neighboring region that Persians burns down, steps plain that the green and yellow interwove. 一个多小时之后,各支队伍陆续走出了被波斯人焚毁的塔波萨库斯及周边地区,踏上了青黄交织的平原。 Also walked a while, legatus transmit the order: „Stops going forward, same place rest!” 又走了一会儿,军团长们传来命令:“停止前进,原地休息！” „Is this battle place? I look at nothing special.” “这就是会战的地点吗？我看没有什么特别呀。” „Heard that the camps of Persia army are away from our camp 25 li (0.5 km), I had calculated a moment ago silently, here from the camp probably 11 and two li (0.5 km), is located in the middle, isn't the battlefield?” “听说波斯军队的营地距离我们的营地25里,我刚才默默的算过,这里距离营地大概十一、二里,正好位于中间,可不就是战场吗？”
