Chapter 1 第一章 Next morning, Scylletium and Terina reinforcements rushed, but Crotone also received the information from Thurii: Amendolara about 4000 reinforcements rush to Thurii, the Theonia citizen of Sybaris plain gradually enter the square to assemble, about 8000 people, enter the military compound of Thurii city north section later, has not seen the further action, Theonia as if also in the reinforcements of waiting from Nerulum and Laos. 第二天上午,西里庭与特里纳的援军赶到了,而克罗托内也收到了来自图里伊的情报:阿门多拉腊约有四千援军赶到图里伊,绪巴里平原的戴奥尼亚公民陆续进入广场集结,据悉约有八千人,随后进驻图里伊城北部的军营,未见有进一步的行动,戴奥尼亚似乎还在等待来自尼乌图姆和拉俄斯的援军。 This news urges Milo to decide to act instantly, under his positive promotes, the powwow passed the resolution that attacks Thurii, holds the post of the army to command by chief general Milo, another has the series army to be able General Philederus is the adjutant, leads approximately 27,000 soldiers, including 20,000 heavy infantries and 6500 light infantries, in these 6500 light infantries has 4000 is to wear skin armor, the light armor-clad soldier of hand-held skin shield lance, does not have the delivery capabilities, in addition has 800 cavalries. Besides the regular forces, lots of slaves and freemen transport the military baggage, making the entire army effective strength reach as high as 40,000 people. 这一消息促使米隆决定立即采取行动,在他的积极推动下,议事会通过了进攻图里伊的决议,由首席将军米隆担任军队统帅,另一位有统军才能的腓拉得福斯将军担任副官,率领约两万七千名士兵,其中包括两万名重步兵、六千五百名轻步兵,这六千五百名轻步兵中有四千名是身穿皮甲、手持皮盾长矛的轻甲兵,并不具备投射能力,另外还有八百名骑兵。除了正规部队,还有大量的奴隶和自由民运输辎重,使得整个部队实际人数高达四万人。 Therefore, Crotone organized a huge fleet in the harbor, was only the loading commodity, makes the soldier embark spent for about three hours. Until noon, the troop carrier team navigates to north under the guard of Crotone fleet. After Krimisa, 500 soldiers join, making the combat unit population reach as high as 27,500 people. 为此,克罗托内在港口组织了一支庞大的船队,光是装载物资、让士兵上船就花了将近三个小时。直到中午,运兵船队才在克罗托内舰队的护卫下向北航行。经过克里米萨时,又有五百名士兵加入,使得作战部队人数高达两万七千五百人。 In the Crotone harbor embarks, the entire process is tedious, the scene is quite chaotic, therefore Milo was worried when beach landing, the situation will be perhaps worse. He and Philederus quite cares about „the Theonia coastline that the beforehand Tela Tus intelligence office said to have the cavalry to monitor”, to be cautious, they do not dare coastal landing north Roscianum, but after was the swamp, immediately the approaching shore aback, the place of aback was the sand beach that several days of former Timasion mercenaries landed. 因为在克罗托内港口上船时,整个过程繁琐拖沓,场面相当混乱,因此米隆担心在海滩登陆时,情况恐怕会更糟。他和腓拉得福斯相当在意之前特拉图斯情报所说的“戴奥尼亚的海岸线都有骑兵监视”,为了稳妥起见,他们没敢在卡斯特隆以北的海岸登陆,而是过了沼泽之后,立即靠岸停船,停船的地方正是几天前提马宋雇佣军登陆的沙滩。 Milo first makes the cavalry disembark, will admonish the range to expand to the surrounding area two li (0.5 km), after determining not to have the enemy intelligence, starts to land massively. The innumerable soldiers carry the weaponry, some are also pulling the warhorse, jumps down the freighter, the wading sea water, arrives at the shore. Without the wharf, the slave and freeman must lift the grain, tent and other commodities to shift the ashore it...... 米隆先让骑兵下船,将警戒范围扩大到方圆两里,确定没有敌情后,才开始大规模登陆。无数士兵携带武器装备,有的还牵着战马,跳下货船,步涉海水,到达岸边。因为没有码头,奴隶和自由民则要抬着粮食、帐篷等物资将其转移到岸上…… In the entire sand beach as far as eyes can reach, is the dense head/number of people, the chaotic piece, the men shouting and horses neighing, the team officers sharply broke the head ; But military baggage pile and that pile places carelessly, affects the soldiers to dress ranks, Philederus...... reorganizes the army of entire landing to slaves both beating and cursing, straightened out the business, spent very long time. But after these tosses about, tired soldiers and worn-out horses, weather also to dusk. 整个沙滩上一眼望去,全是黑压压的人头,乱糟糟一片,人喊马嘶,队官们急破了头;而辎重这一堆、那一堆胡乱摆放,又影响士兵们整队,腓拉得福斯对奴隶们又打又骂……将整个登陆的部队整顿好,将事务理顺,花费了很长的时间。而经过这一番折腾,人困马乏,天色也到了黄昏。 After nearby determined the camping area, Milo issues the order, strict demand: Various teams build the firm camp, the arrangement sentry post, can not have any negligence! 在就近确定了宿营地之后,米隆下达命令,严格要求:各队修筑起坚固的营地,布置岗哨,不得有任何疏忽！ Suffering a defeat and fleeing of Melanseus learns from another's mistakes, this Crotone had the absolute advantage, has the situation, only needs steady prompting forward, the victory is just round the corner. 梅兰修斯的败亡是前车之鉴,这一次克罗托内占据了绝对的优势,拥有先机,只需要稳重的向前推进,胜利指日可待。 Tomorrow will first capture Roscianum, making it the Crotone the advanced base of army and fleet...... Milo is forming in one's mind the following military action plan in the mind, fell asleep gradually. 明日先攻取卡斯特隆,使其成为克罗托内的军队和舰队的前进基地……米隆在脑海里构思着接下来的军事行动计划,渐渐地进入了梦乡。 ........................ …………………… In the big tent/account of Thurii military compound, Davos and Chief of Military Philesius and first legatus Kapus and second legatus Drakos and cavalry team leader Ledes is conducting the enemy intelligence analysis. 在图里伊军营的大帐内,戴弗斯、军务官斐利修斯、第一军团长卡普斯、第二军团长德拉克斯、骑兵队长莱德斯正在进行敌情分析。 Is placing a clean deal of two meters square on the central wooden table, what above draws up is the Magna Graecia detailed map, Philesius grasps the wooden club, is pointing at the map on plank, said: „, Just received the information that the front transmits, Crotone sent out about 30,000 soldiers, already Here Roscianum south coast landing, it is estimated that can attack Roscianum tomorrow!” 在中央的木桌上摆放着一块两米见方的光洁木板,上面绘制的是大希腊详细地图,斐利修斯手持木棍,指着木板上的地图,说道:“诸位,刚接到前方传来的情报,克罗托内派出了大约三万士兵,已经在这里-卡斯特隆南面的海岸登陆,估计明天就能进攻卡斯特隆！” „30,000 people?!” Cavalry team leader Ledes attracted an cold air/Qi: „Crotone perhaps to cope with us, sent the city-state citizens!” “三万人？！”骑兵队长莱德斯吸了一口冷气:“克罗托内为了对付我们,恐怕把城邦的公民都派出来了！” „30,000 people are anything!” Shouting that Drakos is not convinced: „If the third army chart can rush promptly, the freeman who in addition these recruit, our military were also over 30,000 people! Moreover even does not have 30,000 people, Crotone is not our opponents!” “三万人算什么！”德拉克斯不服气的嚷道:“如果第三军图能够及时赶到,再加上那些征召的自由民,我们的兵力还超过了三万人！而且就算没有三万人,克罗托内也不是我们的对手！” „But the Crotone soldiers are the citizen soldier!” Obviously Kapus slightly worries looks to Davos: „Sir, we really do not wait for the third regiment arrival, hurries to Roscianum directly?!” “但是克罗托内的士兵都是公民兵！”卡普斯略显担忧的看向戴弗斯:“大人,我们真的不等第三军团到来,直接就赶去卡斯特隆？！” Davos calm saying: „Did not have the time, Crotone these decides to eliminate Theonia time, therefore was ready early, marched speed such rapidness! If we wait, that means to give up Roscianum, not only harms the prestige that Theonia establishes, but also allows the enemy to enter the Sybaris plain , before violating us, commitment that made! With the Crotone citizen soldier battles on the plain, we have not grasped win, but defends by the city wall, time-consuming is too long, is disadvantageous to our new alliance!” Davos received the wooden club from the Philesius hand, points on the map to mark the curve of Trionto river, the sinking sound was saying: „Therefore we must make full use of this river!” 戴弗斯冷静的说道:“没时间了,克罗托内这一次是下了决心要消灭戴奥尼亚,因此早做好了准备,进军速度如此之快！如果我们等待,那就意味着放弃卡斯特隆,不但有损戴奥尼亚才建立起来的声望,而且让敌人进入绪巴里平原,也违背我们之前许下的承诺！在平原上与克罗托内的公民兵交战,我们没有把握获胜,而凭借城墙防御,耗时太长,对我们这个新生的联盟不利!”戴弗斯从斐利修斯手中接过木棍,指着地图上标记着特里翁托河的曲线,沉声说道:“所以我们必须充分利用这条河！” Regarding plan of Davos, several present are very clear, Philesius opens mouth, eventually raised the question: „Sir Davos, will Crotonians lead the army to cross the Trionto river rashly?! I heard that their commander in chief Milo are fight experienced general.” 对于戴弗斯的谋划,在座的几位都很清楚,斐利修斯张了张嘴,最终还是提出疑问:“戴弗斯大人,克罗托内人会贸然率大军渡过特里翁托河吗？！我听说他们的主帅米隆是一个战斗经验丰富的将领。” Davos smiles, earnest saying: „Any plan cannot guarantee that can completely realize, the false news that but Milo was emitted by me confuses, looks at he so anxious set army, wants before we have not completed building up, attacking army has reached the city, has the possibility fell into a trap. Naturally, if he had not been swindled, we can also withdraw Thurii, fights a long defensive war with Crotonians!” 戴弗斯笑了笑,认真的说道:“任何计划都不能保证能完全实现,不过米隆被我放出的假消息迷惑,看他如此急切的集合军队,想趁我们未完成集结之前,兵临城下,非常有可能中计。当然,如果他没有上当,我们也可以撤回图里伊,和克罗托内人打一场漫长的防御战！” „He will be swindled!” Drakos said presented the expectation of general, they also do not hope that Crotonians set foot on the Theonia land. “他会上当的！”德拉克斯说出了在座将领们的期望,他们同样不希望克罗托内人踏上戴奥尼亚的土地。 „How many do their cavalries have?” Ledes asked an important question. “他们的骑兵有多少？”莱德斯问了一个重要的问题。 „Approximately has 800 people.” Philesius replied. “大约有八百人。”斐利修斯回答。 Ledes gets hold of the fist, the population experiences, his cavalry is not in the upper hand, only looked that Sir Davos that marvelous tactic to be whether able to be effective. 莱德斯握紧拳头,无论是人数还是经验,他的骑兵都不占上风,就只看戴弗斯大人那奇妙的战术能否奏效了。 „Brothers!” Davos looks that these same places risk one's life general that and is eager to try at this moment, knew in the heart that does not need to mobilize, their fighting spirits surge upward inevitably, therefore his calm saying: „Time, you do not return to the respective team early immediately, according to the beforehand plan action! Hades will bless us, tomorrow all smooth!” “兄弟们！”戴弗斯看着这几位一起出生入死、此刻跃跃欲试的将领,心知根本不需要动员,他们的斗志必然高涨,因此他冷静的说道:“时间已经不早了,你们立刻回到各自队伍中,按照之前的计划行动！哈迪斯将庇佑我们,明天一切顺利！” „Yes!” “是！” ........................ …………………… That night, Crotone camp is well. 这一夜,克罗托内营地平安无事。 Next morning, the sky does not have the rain sunny, Milo wakes up, aware god hydrogen foot, moreover information also prompt delivering of Thurii: Laos and Nerulum reinforcements have not rushed, in the afternoon Thurii has 3000 people to rush to Roscianum. 第二天清早,天空晴朗无雨,米隆醒来,自觉神轻气足,而且图里伊的情报也及时的送到:拉俄斯、尼乌图姆的援军还未赶到,下午图里伊有三千人赶往卡斯特隆。 This secret letter/believes should be last night sends, the Crotone warship that simultaneously in the morning in the Thurii coast patrols had not discovered that Thurii Roscianum on the main road has the trail of large-scale army action...... Milo to think: Theonian should know the arrival of Crotone army, but also is in them in war mobilization only to send out 3000 reinforcements, but wants to defend Roscianum on these 3000 people?! According to his knowledge, even if in addition Roscianum soldier not over 4000 people, moreover Roscianum that small town less than four meters city is high, is unable to prevent the Crotone army to cross the Trionto river and captures Roscianum, even Milo also hopes that Roscianum sends out all military to prevent itself to cross river, helping oneself give them in the open country biggest killing, can capture the Roscianum city with ease. The weather and enemy intelligence help Crotone, this is Apollo blesses! Crotone must hold the Theonia alliance not to complete the time that the war mobilization and army have not built up and rushed, passed the Trionto river rapidly, takes Roscianum as soon as possible, fights a decisive battle with the Theonia army again! 这一封秘信应该是昨晚发出来的,同时早上在图里伊海岸游弋的克罗托内战船也未发现图里伊-卡斯特隆大道上有大规模部队行动的踪迹……米隆思索着:戴奥尼亚人应该是已经知道了克罗托内大军的到来,但是还处于战争动员之中的他们只派出三千援军,可是就这三千人就想守住卡斯特隆？！据他了解,就算加上卡斯特隆的士兵也不超过四千人,而且卡斯特隆那座小城不到四米的城高,根本无法阻挡克罗托内的大军渡过特里翁托河和夺取卡斯特隆,甚至米隆还希望卡斯特隆派出所有的兵力来阻挡自己过河,便于自己在野外给予他们最大的杀伤,更能轻松的夺取卡斯特隆城。天气、敌情都有利于克罗托内,这是阿波罗保佑！克罗托内必须抓住戴奥尼亚联盟尚未完成战争动员、大军尚未集结并赶到的这一时机,迅速度过特里翁托河,尽快拿下卡斯特隆,再与戴奥尼亚的军队决战！ Mi dragon immediately after Philederus conducts the discussion, made the fording plan. 米龙立刻与腓拉得福斯进行商议后,制定了渡河方案。 Urged by Milo repeatedly, the army assembles rapidly, 22,000 soldiers are led by Milo, marches forward to the Northwest ; Another 4500 soldiers and 500 cavalries are led by Philederus, marches forward to the north. 在米隆的一再催促下,军队迅速集结,其中两万两千名士兵由米隆率领,向西北方行进;另外四千五百名士兵和五百名骑兵由腓拉得福斯率领,向北行进。 The Trionto river has two ideal wading places: Is located in the middle reaches, not only the water is shallow, the sandbank is smooth, the section that but may also wade is two li (0.5 km) to be long, Davos forded initially sneak attack Melanseus from here ; Another is located in the downstream, west of the Roscianum city, the section is short . Moreover the water is deep. 特里翁托河有两处理想的步涉地点:一处位于中游,不但水浅,河滩平坦,而且可步涉的河段有两里多长,戴弗斯当初就是从此处渡河偷袭的梅兰修斯;另一处位于下游,在卡斯特隆城以西,河段短而且水较深。 The fording plan of Crotonians is: 5000 people of diversions and attraction enemies who Philederus leads, but does not ford immediately, but crossed from the broad section of middle reaches by the Milo army full power. 克罗托内人的渡河计划是:腓拉得福斯率领的五千人牵制和吸引敌人,但并不立刻渡河,而由米隆的大军从中游的宽阔河段全力渡过。 The Crotone army who Milo leads assumes the Chinese red army soldier garrison, discharges a long line, has 45 heads. 米隆率领的克罗托内大军呈八路纵队,排出一条长龙,足足有四五里长。 Rides a horse in the ear of team central Milo, floods the noisy sound of footsteps, the armor collision sound...... he is feeling exceptionally delightfully, the huge military gave his sufficient confidence, he even has the leisure to think: The Roscianum city and Krimisa city construct north bank of the rivers, this is because initially they narrate Bullis's child nation, narrated Bullis, but protection Crotone. But after this war, must force them to move the city south bank! As for Thurii...... if all goes well, he does not mind its fourth destroying! 骑马走在队伍中央的米隆的耳朵里,充斥着嘈杂的脚步声,盔甲碰撞声……他却觉得异常悦耳,庞大的兵力给了他充足的信心,他甚至有闲情去想:卡斯特隆城、克里米萨城都是建在河流北岸,这是因为当初它们都是叙巴里斯的子邦,亲叙巴里斯,而防备克罗托内。而这一次战争之后,一定要强迫他们将城迁到南岸！至于图里伊……如果一切顺利,他不介意将它第四次摧毁！ „Reported the general, the mounted scout of crossing river encounters surrounding of enemy cavalry, died four, escaped two.” “报告将军,过河的侦骑遭到敌人骑兵的围堵,死了四个,逃回来两个。” „What has to discover?” “有什么发现吗？” „They noticed that the enemy has several thousand people to march forward along the north bank.” “他们看到敌人有几千人沿着北岸行进。” Several thousand people? Is tags along after our? Milo thinks, said: „Did Philederus reach the destination?” 几千人？是尾随我们的吗？米隆想了想,说道:“腓拉得福斯到达目的地了吗？”
