Not is only the soldiers, in that flash that the Theonia army presents, the brain of Milo similarly is blank, his whole body shivers, is pale, he knows: He was deceived! Was deceived by deceitful Theonian! Thinks that the enemy are too few, finally rashly was forded in front of the enemy similarly huge army by own army, regarding any qualified general, this is an extremely wrong military action! But now wants to retreat also already late. Retreats before the enemy, moreover must return to the body to cross the river again, this is usually the taboo of training many city-state citizen soldier, that means that without big rout of fight, but Theonian can attack with ease, making this seemingly gentle Trionto river become the tomb of Crotone citizen soldier. 不光是士兵们,在戴奥尼亚大军出现的那一瞬间,米隆的脑子同样是一片空白,他浑身颤抖,脸色苍白,他知道:他被骗了！被狡诈的戴奥尼亚人骗了！以为敌人太少,结果贸然的让自己的军队在敌人同样庞大的军队面前渡河,对于任何一个合格的将领而言,这都是一个极其错误的军事行动！但现在想要撤退也已经晚了。在敌前撤退,而且还要返身再渡河,这更是平时训练不多的城邦公民兵的大忌,那意味着未经战斗的大溃败,而戴奥尼亚人则可以轻轻松松的攻击,让这条看似温柔的特里翁托河变为克罗托内公民兵的坟墓。 Milo has not thought that the battle of Crotone and Theonia in this time this place, this will launch suddenly, but in this relates to front the decisive battle of city-state life and death destiny, he tries hard to force oneself to be calm, after being guilty, frightened throws into the brain, concentrates on the present fight: „Sounds all bugles! Strikes to make a sound all battle drums! Let the soldiers rush! Brave to crossing river! Hope that we can win!!” He raises the arm to shout loudly anxiously. 米隆没想到克罗托内与戴奥尼亚的会战会在此时此地,就这样突然展开了,但在此关系到城邦生死命运的决战面前,他努力强迫自己镇定下来,将愧疚、恐惧都抛到脑后,专注于眼前的战斗:“吹响所有的军号！擂响所有战鼓！让士兵们冲上去！勇敢的冲过河！我们才能获胜的希望！！”他焦急的振臂高呼。 The messengers leap horse Ruhe directly, raised a hue and cried. 传令兵们直接跃马入河,大声疾呼。 The bugle battle drum sound of enhancement was urging suddenly the army goes forward, the team officers in also fully realizes the situation danger, takes the lead to forward courageously. 陡然增强的军号战鼓声催促着军队前进,在阵中的队官们也深知处境危险,身先士卒地带头向前。 The Crotone army starts to accelerate to march forward, but the formation of Theonia army rallies quickly, has compelled, because of cobblestone everywhere, both sides has not battled to charge like the past heavy infantry, but in steady steps approaches...... 克罗托内的军队开始加速行进,但是戴奥尼亚军队的阵型重整得很快,已经逼了上来,因为满地的鹅卵石,双方都没有像以往重步兵交战那样冲锋,而是在稳步的靠近…… When both sides are distanced when more than 20 meters, Kelebus sees opposite enemy in the yawp of team officer, suddenly stopped the advance, the front enemy under squatted slightly, in the back row enemy ranks exuded the innumerable say/way cold light. The movement that the opposite party make makes him understand immediately must have anything, he „javelin” two character not with enough time spouts, hasty squatting down. 当双方相距只有二十多米时,科勒布斯看见对面的敌人在队官的叫喊声中,忽然停止了前进,前排敌人微微下蹲,后排的敌阵中泛起无数道寒光。对方所做的动作让他立刻明白是要发生什么,他连“标枪”二字都没来得及吐出口,就仓促的蹲下。 Only listens „whiz! Whiz! Whiz!......” Continual howling sound, blew strong winds probably suddenly, along with scream continuously, the Crotone entire army front soldier dropped down suddenly a piece, not only interrupted the step that the Crotone soldiers went forward, the formation of its army front row somewhat was also torn to pieces. 只听“嗖！嗖！嗖！……”连续的呼啸声,就好像忽然刮起了一阵狂风,伴随着此起彼伏的惨叫声,眨眼间克罗托内整个军阵的前排士兵倒下一片,不但中断了克罗托内士兵们前进的步伐,其军阵前列的阵型也有些支离破碎。 But Theonian has not given up, is a round of javelin throws. So near distance, the lethality of heavy javelin is quite astonishing. 而戴奥尼亚人还不罢休,紧接着又是一轮标枪投掷。如此近的距离,重标枪的杀伤力是相当惊人的。 To avoid the javelin, rescues the companion to be thrown into confusion when the Crotone soldier, formation confusion, Theonian seizes the chance to go forward in big strides, grasps round shield hit panic-stricken Crotonians, 2-3 thorn spears/guns with the time-stamp to just in the enemy who under the javelin fortunately survived...... 就在克罗托内士兵为躲避标枪、救助同伴而手忙脚乱,以至于阵型混乱之时,戴奥尼亚人趁机大踏步前进,手持圆盾撞击惊恐的克罗托内人,2-3支刺枪同时戳向刚在标枪下幸存的敌人…… If not the back row makes up promptly, the Crotone former formation line nearly collapsed. But also therefore made the Crotone army be prevented near the river bank, Milo careful preparation reached more than 20 rows of battlefields thick at this moment instead became troublesome, their half on most sections in river bank, half in river. The heavy infantries confront, except for slaughters face-to-face, conducts the similar tug-of-war contest same way to push the opposite party at the thickness of array, to realize to break through, similarly is the way of another effective attack, but Crotonians present situation is not only unable to form the unified joint effort effectively, instead under powerful of opposite party pushes, slowly retreat. 如果不是后排及时补上,克罗托内的前列阵线险些就崩溃了。但也因此让克罗托内的部队被阻挡在了河岸边,米隆精心准备的厚达20多列的战阵此刻反而成了麻烦,在大多数的河段上他们一半在河岸,一半在河中。重步兵对阵,除了面对面厮杀,以阵列的厚薄进行类似拔河比赛一样的方式推挤对方,以实现突破,同样是另一个有效进攻的方式,但是克罗托内人现在的处境不但无法有效的形成统一的合力,反而在对方的有力推挤下,缓缓后退。 ........................ …………………… When the javelin when blocks the sky flies into Crotone, Milo felt that own heart must stop beating. 当遮天蔽日的标枪飞入克罗托内阵中时,米隆感觉自己的心脏都要停止跳动了。 The Theonia heavy infantry can unexpectedly the javelin throw! Milo regretted at this moment oneself are extremely negligent, has not gone to the tactical characteristics of more detailed understanding Theonia army, having a look at their light infantries, to have the heavy infantry, this is one has the unique tactic obviously, moreover well-trained army! 戴奥尼亚的重步兵居然可以投掷标枪！米隆此刻非常后悔自己太过大意,没有去更详细的了解戴奥尼亚军队的战术特点,看看他们的轻步兵、还有重步兵,这显然是一支具备独特战术而且训练有素的部队！ In the casualty of Milo grieved soldier, for own negligence regretted, his subordinate is fixing the eyes on battle of opposite shore, anxious shouting: „Damn Theonian has such multiple infantries unexpectedly! Certainly was their Nerulum and Laos reinforcements rushes!” 就在米隆心痛士兵的死伤,为自己的疏忽而后悔不已时,他的手下紧盯着对岸的厮杀,焦急的喊道:“该死的戴奥尼亚人居然有这么多重步兵！一定是他们尼乌图姆和拉俄斯的援军都赶到了！” Truly, according to the return of left right flank messenger, Theonian army has the almost same length, moreover can oppress the array retreat of one's own side, although occupied the convenience of terrain, how many perhaps its thickness not own array is thin, presently does Theonian have about 20,000 people? Is listening to the scolding sound, if actually a lightning has delimited the Milo mind, he who must take revenge wholeheartedly always reads to the confidential report that Thurii feeds in carefully, therefore had also known about the Theonia alliance. 确实,根据左右翼传令兵的回报,戴奥尼亚人的军阵有几乎相同的长度,而且能够压迫己方的阵列后退,尽管占了地形的便利,恐怕其厚度也不比自己的阵列薄多少,难道当前的戴奥尼亚人也有两万人左右？听着手下的骂声,却如一道闪电划过米隆的脑海,一心要复仇的他对图里伊传回的密报始终是仔细研读,因此对戴奥尼亚联盟也有所了解。 He remembers that in the confidential report once said: At least requires three days of Thurii to Nerulum, requires the same time to Laos, even if that the mobilization order of cavalry passes to Nerulum and Laos, immediately gathering army, arrives at Thurii, still requires six days of time back and forth, after all Thurii Nerulum Laos the main road starts to construct, but from declaring war to the present also four days, only if Theonia convenes the army ahead of time. But, three days ago these mercenaries have not attacked Krimisa, he tortured several captives, including Kerry Hanno and Tholix, they unanimously acknowledged that concealed Davos, the decision captures Krimisa secretly. Therefore, Nerulum and Laos reinforcements should still in rushing to Thurii on the way, where then so many Theonia heavy infantries come? 他记得密报中曾说:图里伊到尼乌图姆至少要三天的时间,到拉俄斯也需要相同的时间,那么就算骑兵的动员令传到尼乌图姆和拉俄斯,立即集合部队出发,到达图里伊,来回也要六天时间,毕竟图里伊-尼乌图姆-拉俄斯大道才开始修建,而从宣战到现在也不过才四天的时间,除非戴奥尼亚提前召集部队。可是,三天前那些雇佣兵还没有进攻克里米萨,他可是严刑拷打了好几个俘虏,包括克里安诺和托利科斯,他们都一致承认是隐瞒了戴弗斯,私自决定来夺取克里米萨的。因此,尼乌图姆和拉俄斯的援军应该还在赶往图里伊的途中,那么这么多的戴奥尼亚重步兵从哪里来的呢？ Thurii and Amendolara citizen may not have so many. This point Milo can determine, he remembered anything suddenly:...... Freeman?! Is freeman who Theonia these so-called register!! 图里伊和阿门多拉腊的公民可没有这么多。这一点米隆可以确定,他忽然想起了什么:……自由民？！是戴奥尼亚的那些所谓登记在册的自由民！！ Milo recalls suddenly in the previous confidential report also raises Theonia frequently to organize their freemen to conduct the military training. Milo still remembers the person who once many Crotone powwows ridiculed Theonia to eat what is offered, the vulgar freemen will turn into the city-state citizen, acted unreasonably simply! However the present all explained that Theonia the means are effective, before these, armor and hand-held shield lance that the poor freeman wears perhaps from previous time all that Crotone army who died in battle or the captive! 米隆恍然记起在此前的密报中也提过戴奥尼亚频繁组织他们的自由民进行军事训练。米隆还记得曾有不少克罗托内议事会的人嘲笑戴奥尼亚饥不择食,将粗鄙的自由民都变成了城邦公民,简直是乱来！但是眼前的一切说明戴奥尼亚的这个办法还是有效的,这些之前还是贫穷的自由民身穿的盔甲、手持的盾矛恐怕都是来自上一次战死或俘虏的克罗托内大军的所有吧！ Milo resented although, but he clearer realized that Thurii sent the battlefield these freemen, perhaps also invested, then they also had the unnecessary military!! 米隆尽管愤恨,但他更清晰的意识到图里伊连这些自由民都派上了战场,恐怕也是倾其所有了,那么他们还有多余的兵力吗！！ The Milo eye looks at the front war cries heavenshaking battlefield, the spirit is actually rousing: „Eudemus!” 米隆眼望着前方杀声震天的战场,精神却振奋起来:“优提德摩斯！” „General, what matter?” The subordinate response that shouted loudly a moment ago said. “将军,什么事？”刚才大喊大叫的手下回应道。 „You lead these 2000 soldiers to rush to the east side immediately, gives Philederus to lead.” “你立刻带领这两千士兵赶往东边,交给腓拉得福斯率领。” „What?! Before do not make this army go forward to strengthen center?!” Asking of Eudemus doubts. “什么？！你之前不是要让这支部队上前去加强中路吗？！”优提德摩斯疑惑的问道。 „Performance order!” The Milo eyes stare, the son of this good friend works actually diligently, was the natural disposition is too active: „You told General Philederus, the enemy in opposite shore will not be many, making him not hesitate the casualties, forded as soon as possible, after repelling the enemy, catches up with the converging attack Theonia army! The victory or defeat of this battle depends on his action!” The Milo incomparably serious urging said. “执行命令！”米隆双眼一瞪,这位好友的儿子做事倒是努力,就是生性太活跃了:“你告诉腓拉得福斯将军,对岸的敌人不会太多,让他不惜伤亡,尽快渡河,击退敌人后,赶过来夹击戴奥尼亚的大军！这场会战的胜败就取决于他的行动！”米隆无比郑重的叮嘱道。 „Got it!” Eudemus reminded after Milo, saw the chance was, exciting hurrying to performance order. “明白了！”优提德摩斯经米隆提醒,看到了胜机所在,兴奋的赶去执行命令。 Milo jumps down the horse, grasps the shield lance, leading under the convoy guard the river to ford, joins to the battlefield, unceasingly shouting, making the soldiers fight heroically. 米隆则跳下马,手持盾矛,率领护卫队下河涉水,加入到战阵中,不断呼喊着,让士兵们英勇战斗。 Since the Theonia heavy infantry mostly preparing the citizen comprised, he does not believe that these six months or the freemen, never had any novice of heavy infantry operational experience to be able in six months to grasp the fight essence of heavy infantry, this was his confidence is. He believes even the Crotone soldier deep place adversity, can still insist on the arrival of Philederus army. 既然戴奥尼亚重步兵多半由预备公民组成,他不相信这些半年前还是自由民、从未有过任何重步兵作战经验的新手能在半年时间内掌握重步兵的战斗精髓,这就是他的信心所在。他坚信即使克罗托内士兵深处逆境,依然能坚持到腓拉得福斯军队的到来。 ........................ …………………… Is standing erect behind Theonia army center high a flag, what the peak also mounts is the Hades statue, but the volume is obviously bigger than the regiment colors, the flag surface is also big, above only embroiders „Davos” very big golden letter. 在戴奥尼亚军阵中路后方高高竖立着一杆大旗,顶端同样镶嵌的是冥王哈迪斯雕像,但体积明显比军团军旗大,旗面也大,上面只绣有“戴弗斯”很大的金色字母。 The Theonia alliance has three regiments, Davos must certainly abdicate to give up one's post to a more qualified person, returns to his original duty, according to some old traditions, archon held a concurrent post of the city-state army commander, therefore highest duty of Davos in alliance army is the Theonia alliance army commanders in chief( i.e. supreme commander). 戴奥尼亚联盟现有三个军团,戴弗斯当然得退位让贤,回归他本来的职务,按照旧有的传统,执政官本来就兼任城邦军队指挥官,因此戴弗斯在联盟军队中的最高职务是戴奥尼亚联盟军队总指挥官(即最高司令官)。 At this moment, Davos is paying attention to the sound of opposite shore enemy similarly. 此刻,戴弗斯同样在关注着对岸敌人的动静。 „Commander Sir, the enemy had the army to swim away downward!” Yaris Dockwra bottom reminded loudly, as the talent who Davos settled on, Davos has a mind like Asistes to train him comprehensively, when combat also made him follow, but after all he was also only a freeman, therefore can only be classified as the status of clerk temporarily. “司令官大人,敌人有部队向下游去了！”亚里斯多克拉底大声提醒,作为戴弗斯看中的人才,戴弗斯有心像亚西斯特斯一样全面培养他,因此作战时也让他跟随,但毕竟他还只是自由民,所以只能暂时冠以书记员的名分。 Davos has been waiting for this moment: „Tolmides!” 戴弗斯早就等着这一刻:“托尔米德！” „Commander Sir, please order!” Tormey Meader's reply is the respect of the heart. “司令官大人,请下令！”托米米德的这一声回答是发自内心的尊敬。 Crotone fast march came as a surprise to general greatly, in situation that in Nerulum and Laos army is unable to rush to promptly, military of both sides differs somewhat in a big way. When the army discussed that many people proposed: Gives up reinforcing Roscianum, perseveres Thurii, to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, again decisive battle. But Davos resists opposition, insisted that must advance Roscianum the front, stemming from the prestige of long establishing, the people by him are convinced finally. 原本克罗托内快速的进军大大出乎将领们的意料,在尼乌图姆、拉俄斯的军队无法及时赶到的情况下,双方的兵力相差有些大。在军议时,不少人都提出:放弃增援卡斯特隆,坚守图里伊,以等待援军到达,再行决战。但戴弗斯力排众议,坚持要把战线推进到卡斯特隆,出于长久以来建立的威望,众人最终被他说服。 The freeman who he recruited Thurii and Amendolara to participate in the training, and can battle the citizen who and registers, even the part just arrived at the Thurii freeman, this truly took very big risk, must know that at this time Theonia army strongly in Roscianum, rear Thurii and Amendolara, had a small number of armies besides the harbor, almost does not have any defense strength. If the Crotone fleet lands in the coast of Sybaris plain, then Theonia is unable to resist for a short time, but Davos dares to take the so bold action. 他征召了图里伊、阿门多拉腊所有参与训练、并能作战的公民和登记在册的自由民,甚至还有部分刚到图里伊的自由民,这确实冒了很大的风险,要知道此时戴奥尼亚的大军集中在卡斯特隆,后方的图里伊、阿门多拉腊,除了港口有少数部队外,几乎没有任何防御力量。如果克罗托内的舰队在绪巴里平原的海岸上登陆,那么戴奥尼亚一时半会是无法抵御的,但戴弗斯就敢做出如此大胆的行动。
