Such that just like the Crotone army also Davos expects, crosses the river here, thus let ambush in this's Theonia army period of five days, had the Theonia armies of lots of recruit to occupy benefits, used the novel tactic, gave Magna Graecia unexpectedly by brave well-known Crotone army big killing, suddenly got the winning side. 克罗托内的大军还正如戴弗斯所预料的那样,在此处渡河,从而让早就埋伏在此的戴奥尼亚军队候个正着,拥有大量新兵的戴奥尼亚军队占据地利,又使用新奇的战术,竟给予了大希腊以勇武闻名的克罗托内军队不小的杀伤,一时间占据了上风。 Davos to be good at annihilating the enemy and hitting the skillful weaponry and casualties when Persia to be little famous in the expeditionary force, that time Tolmides as army transmitting orders officer, must be responsible for the coordination of entire mercenaries, but the Davos military compound is always manages most strictly, therefore he often can only peep the odds and ends of its military capability. Arrived Thurii, hears Davos repeatedly the deeds that commands the army to defeat a numerically superior enemy, the heart has been hard to take itchy. This time military action Tolmides as generation transmitting orders officer( because he is freeman) the entire journey participation, witnessed Davos to stick to one's own ideas even though they differ from the majority with own eyes, forms in one's mind the military program that time he was unprecedented, all departments of letting alliance and had at one's command took the action regarding this plan: Let the old person and woman clothing armor take a walk in the harbor, confuses the fleet of enemy ; Marches the careful arrangement at the night, even lets never have the recruit and freeman of experience can also arrive in the Roscianum city smoothly ; The army abides by the tight rein, blocks the Roscianum city strictly, does not make the news appear externally ; Sends out the Izam mountain ridge patrol to cross river to reconnoiter the trend of enemy, the report, sends out the crossing river mounted scout who the cavalry intercepts the enemy momentarily simultaneously, making the enemy know nothing about the situation in Trionto river opposite shore ; Day also not bright, commands the army quiet fast to rush to here to ambush, and( refers to that 4000 soldiers) in the front river bank establishment bait, simultaneously the trail of barrier army ; But arranged more than 1000 people in the wading section of Trionto and downstream intentionally, making Crotonians not dare to take the casualties big risk, thus the choice walks the watch the safe rivers center-section...... 戴弗斯在波斯时就以善于歼敌、打巧仗、伤亡少著称于远征军,不过那时的托尔米德作为全军传令官,又要负责整个雇佣军的协调,而戴弗斯的军营一向是管理最严格的,因此他往往只能窥其军事能力的一鳞半爪。到了图里伊,又听到戴弗斯多次率军以少胜多的事迹,早就心痒难耐。这一次的军事行动托尔米德作为代传令官(因为他还是自由民)全程参与,亲眼见证了戴弗斯独排众议,构思了一场一次他前所未见的军事计划,并如臂使指的让联盟的所有部门围绕这个计划展开行动:让老人、妇女穿戴盔甲在港口内走动,迷惑敌人的舰队;在黑夜行军中的细致安排,甚至让从未有过经验的新兵和自由民也能顺利的到达卡斯特隆城;军队执行严格的纪律,严密封锁卡斯特隆城,不让消息外露;派出伊扎姆的山岭侦察队过河侦察敌人的动向,随时汇报,同时派出骑兵截杀敌人的过河侦骑,让敌人对特里翁托河对岸的情况一无所知;天还没亮,就率军悄无声息的快速赶到此处潜伏起来,并在前方河岸设置诱饵(指的是那四千士兵),同时屏障大军的踪迹;而在特里翁托和下游的步涉河段故意布置了一千多人,让克罗托内人不敢冒伤亡大的风险,从而选择走更安全的河流中段…… In the entire military action, the strategy of Davos has been fully demonstrated: The deceit, fast marching, the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, ambush and tempt...... link perfectly, successfully transferred the enemy finally, served the purpose, makes Tolmides broaden the outlook. This time, the war between city-state mostly is both sides convenes the soldier to engage in a decisive battle when the place that both sides accept, or works as Fang Qiang da the other side on the energetic defense, until the reinforcements arrives counter-attacks again, when both sides general places in the thoughts the battle application of tactics( this is, where that the Sparta person most excels) has to look like Davos to make a plan according to the situation from the beginning, and revolves this plan to make a series of complex and fine actions serves own purpose, simply becomes similar fine elegant Athens Tao Pingban artware the bloody fight carving, said just as Davos. Such, „war relates to the city-state life or death, must prudent be prudent, ponder to ponder again, takes action only then.” 整个军事行动中,戴弗斯的谋略得到充分展示:欺骗、快速的行军、侦察与反侦察、埋伏、引诱……完美地结合在一起,最终成功地调动了敌人,达到了目的,也让托尔米德大开眼界。这个时代,城邦间的战争大多是双方招集士兵在一个双方都接受的地方进行会战,或者当一方强大时另一方就顽强防守,直至援军到来再反击,双方将领把心思都放在会战时的战术运用上(这是斯巴达人最擅长的),哪有像戴弗斯一开始就根据情况制定一个计划,并围绕这个计划做一系列复杂而又精细的行动来达到自己的目的,简直是把血腥的战斗雕刻成类似精致秀美的雅典陶瓶般的艺术品,正像戴弗斯自己所说的那样,“战争关系到城邦的存亡,必须慎重再慎重、思考再思考,方可采取行动。” This is why Davos can become archon of strong alliance, but Timasion actually died in battle a reason in small town! Tolmides thinks. 这就是为什么戴弗斯能成为一个强大联盟的执政官,而提马宋却战死在一个小城里的原因吧！托尔米德浮想联翩。 „Tolmides, you hurry to the east side, informs Xanticles, Epiphanes, Cid and Ledes they, the enemy will cross river quickly, making them be ready, according to planning to handle affairs.” Davos issues the order. “托尔米德,你赶去东面,通知赞提帕里斯、埃皮忒尼斯、茨皮特、莱德斯他们,敌人很快就会过河,让他们做好准备,按照计划行事。”戴弗斯下达命令。 „Yes!” Tolmides turns over/stands up to start, spreads toward east, the tactic that although the east side adopts will be more unthinkable, but he has to the Davos confidence. “是！”托尔米德翻身上马,往东驰去,尽管东面采取的战术会更加匪夷所思,但他已经拥有了对戴弗斯的信心。 ........................... ……………………… Philederus after the Eudemus mouth knew Milo commands the army to cross the river and encounter the Theonia army, the news that falls into struggles hard, has a scare. Theonian ambushed unexpectedly about 20,000 armies in the Trionto river upstream opposite shore, is completely not as he expected! 腓拉得福斯从优提德摩斯口中得知米隆率军渡河、遭遇戴奥尼亚的军队、正陷入苦战的消息后,着实吓了一跳。戴奥尼亚人竟然在特里翁托河上游对岸埋伏了近两万大军,完全出乎他的意料！ Then here can have the ambush? He is looking at opposite shore guarding the light infantries of more than 1000 Theonia, cannot bear think: He is also hoping after Milo crosses river, catches up to help him repulse opposite enemy, casualties that to reduce soldier, now instead is he must lead troops to help Milo. The situation is critical, does not allow him to think. 那么这边会不会也有埋伏呢？他望着对岸驻守的一千多戴奥尼亚的轻步兵,忍不住想着:原本他还盼望着米隆过河之后,赶来帮他逐退对面的敌人,以减少士兵的伤亡,现在反而是他要带兵去帮助米隆。形势危急,已不容他多想。 Here wading section allows more than more than 6000 soldiers also to cross river, before , during and after he is divided into three parts the army rapidly, those who go against in the forefront is more than 3000 heavy infantries, uses them to protect firmly, can under the enemy arrow the concentrated fire of arrow and javelin, reduce the casualties, arrives in the opposite shore smoothly, disperses the enemy. Those who follow close on after that is 500 cavalries, the light infantry who they can pursue the enemy, and routs them. Finally is about 3000 light armor-clad soldiers. 这里的步涉河段容不下6000多士兵同时过河,他迅速将部队分成前、中、后三部分,顶在最前面的是3000多名重步兵,利用他们坚固的防护,能在敌人箭矢、标枪的攒射下,减少伤亡,顺利抵达对岸,驱散敌人。紧跟其后的是500名骑兵,他们能追击敌人的轻步兵,并击溃他们。最后是将近3000名轻甲兵。 After undergoing the long-distance attack of Theonia, after paying with some casualties, the Crotone heavy infantry mounted the river bank, does not need them to pursue, the Theonia light infantry has run away far, Philederus commands the army smooth complete crossing river. 在经受了戴奥尼亚的远程攻击后,付出了一些伤亡之后,克罗托内重步兵登上了河岸,无需他们追赶,戴奥尼亚轻步兵早就逃远了,腓拉得福斯率军顺利的全部过河。 „Can general pursue?” Cavalry team leader Ali Saucisse asked for instructions. “将军要追击吗？”骑兵队长阿里索西斯请示道。 Philederus shakes the head, prudent saying: „Now we must hurry to help Milo immediately, your cavalry protected the surrounding of garrison to be good, do not attack rashly.” 腓拉得福斯摇摇头,慎重的说道:“现在我们要立刻赶去帮助米隆,你的骑兵守护住纵队的外围就行了,不要贸然出击。” Philederus just led the team to turn around to the west marches before long, the resonant bugle sound transmits from the due north. 腓拉得福斯刚率队掉头向西行军不一会儿,嘹亮的军号声从正北方传来。 In Philederus heart one tight: Really has the ambush! 腓拉得福斯心中一紧:果然有埋伏！ At this time, Ali Saucisse also swiftly caught up, facial expression slightly strange saying: „General, the army that north discovers an enemy, is catching up to us, their about 6,000-7,000 people, all are the archer, stone and peltast, several hundred cavalries.” 这时,阿里索西斯也迅速赶来,神情略显奇怪的说道:“将军,北面发现一支敌人的部队,正向我们赶来,他们大约有6,000-7,000人,全是弓箭手、投石手和轻盾兵,还有几百名骑兵。” Philederus was shocked: „Doesn't have the heavy infantry?” 腓拉得福斯愣住了:“没有重步兵？” „No!” Nod that Ali Saucisse determines. “没有！”阿里索西斯确定的点头。 Although Philederus some doubts, but obviously relaxes, his decisive issuing order: „Army to northern formation!” The Theonia army that since attacks does not have the heavy infantry, lacks positive/direct attack to slaughter the ability, then after Philederus does not mind to rout them, marches, to reduce harasses. 腓拉得福斯虽然有些疑惑,但明显松了口气,他果断的下达命令:“全军向北列阵！”既然来袭的戴奥尼亚军队没有重步兵,缺乏正面的突击厮杀能力,那么腓拉得福斯不介意击溃他们之后再行军,以减少骚扰。 „Ali Saucisse, how many does the cavalry of enemy have?” “阿里索西斯,敌人的骑兵有多少？” „More than 400 ride.” “四百多骑。” „Fortunately, our cavalries are their one time.” Philederus obviously relaxed, he said: „Ali Saucisse, battles with the light infantry, your cavalry is especially important, after I need you leads the cavalry to rout the enemy cavalry, try not to pursue, but attacks enemy the flank of center, yes?!” “还好,我们的骑兵是他们的一倍。”腓拉得福斯更显轻松,他说道:“阿里索西斯,与轻步兵交战,你的骑兵尤为重要,我需要你带领骑兵击溃敌人骑兵后,尽量不要追击,而是攻击敌人的中路的侧翼,明白吗？！” „Understood!” Ali Saucisse dials the horse to go. “明白！”阿里索西斯拨马而去。 The Theonia army approaching speed is quick. Shortly, in the Philederus field of vision presented their form, when he roughly sees clearly the appearance of enemy, cannot bear be startled: Because the light infantry of opposite party was really light, the archer or the javelin soldier, all were the frail Asian hempen garments, the cavalry was also part armor, some unpadded garments, extremely poor. 戴奥尼亚的军队行进速度很快。没多久,腓拉得福斯的视野里就出现了他们的身影,待他大致看清敌人的模样时,忍不住大吃一惊:因为对方的轻步兵实在是太轻了,无论是弓箭手还是标枪兵,全是单薄的亚麻衣,就连骑兵也是一部分着甲,一部分单衣,极其的寒酸。 These people all the freeman who does recruit from the Thurii harbor temporarily? Philederus is out of control to show the smile: The guess of Milo right, the Theonia citizen is really scarce, the manpower resources are limited, oneself even only need the light armor-clad soldier and cavalry can sweep away it! 难道这些人全是从图里伊港口临时征招的自由民？腓拉得福斯禁不住露出笑容:米隆的猜测果然没错,戴奥尼亚公民稀少,兵源紧张,自己甚至只需用轻甲兵和骑兵就能将其横扫！ The Theonia army stops the footsteps beyond the distance more than 500 meters, starts to rally the formation. 戴奥尼亚的部队在距离500多米外停住脚步,开始重整阵型。 „I think Crotonians, saw that we will be certainly surprised, they think certainly that we are only make a harassing attack their, actually cannot think that we hug must wipe out the goal here them, the ignores they cross the river.” Saying that Tolmides sighed. “我想克罗托内人,见到我们一定会非常吃惊,他们一定认为我们只是来袭扰他们的,却根本想不到我们是抱着要将他们全歼在这里的目的,才放任他们渡河的。”托尔米德感叹的说道。 „This weaponry to Greeks will show the light infantry and heavy infantry are equally important, so long as the strategy is appropriate, the light infantry can also easily defeat the heavy infantry!” Epiphanes self-confident saying. “这一仗将向希腊人证明轻步兵和重步兵一样重要,只要策略得当,轻步兵也可以轻松战胜重步兵！”埃皮忒尼斯充满自信的说道。 „Key must look cavalry who Ledes and Xanticles they can first annihilate the enemy.” Some Tolmides worries. “关键还要看莱德斯和赞提帕里斯他们能不能先歼灭敌人的骑兵。”托尔米德还是有些担心。 „Relax, that is the plan that our Hades the care of god family Sir Davos designs! He is Hades god family!” A respect of Cid face: „Your I have not thought, the enemy, they will certainly be swindled let alone!” When he spoke, Epiphanes has jumped down the horse, entered in the team, commanding the soldiers to be separated to enlarge, making the formation looser, helped throw and run. “放心吧,那可是我们的哈迪斯的神眷者戴弗斯大人的精心设计出来的计划！他可是哈迪斯的神眷者！”茨皮特一脸的敬慕:“你我都没想到,更何况敌人,他们一定会上当的！”就在他说话的时候,埃皮忒尼斯已经跳下马,走进队伍中,命令士兵们将间隔拉大,使阵型变得更加疏松,便于投掷和奔跑。 Cid also rushes to right flank, issues the similar order, but the left flank Ledes cavalry formation is also loose, like this, after entire Theonia left , middle and right army bread a like fermentation is the same, the area that vertical occupies crosswise almost expanded one time. 茨皮特也赶往右翼,下达同样的命令,而左翼莱德斯的骑兵阵型同样松散,这样,整个戴奥尼亚的左、中、右军阵如同发酵后的面包一样,无论是横向还是纵向所占的面积几乎扩大了一倍。 But regarding Philederus, he encounters this situation for the first time, he hesitant a while, finally decides to result in the thickness to thin own formation, but arrangement between soldiers also as before also as usual crowded, because he felt regardless, although the heavy infantry is light the armor-clad soldier, does not have the delivery capabilities, but is strong as the impulse, the battle efficiency fierce close combat branch of the services, the crowded formation is the magic weapon that they overcome the enemy. At this moment, the traditional inertia thought imprisoned the brain of Philederus, the created result is the Crotone entire array length is only equivalent to opposite Theonia center length, making Theonia army assume half arc encystation Crotone army faintly. 而对于腓拉得福斯而言,他还是第一次遇到这种情况,他犹豫了一会儿,最终决定将自己的阵型得厚度变薄,但是士兵间的排列也依旧还与往常一样密集,因为他觉得虽然无论重步兵还是轻甲兵,都是没有投射能力,但作为冲击力强、战斗力猛的近战兵种,密集阵型是他们克敌制胜的法宝。这一刻,传统的惯性思维禁锢了腓拉得福斯的大脑,造成的结果就是克罗托内的整个阵列长度仅与对面戴奥尼亚中路的长度相当,使得戴奥尼亚的军阵隐隐呈半弧形包绕克罗托内的军队。 But Philederus was not worried, he fully realized population of both sides actually differs not in a big way, so long as the Crotone soldier and enemy contact, will then successfully arrive, he biggest confidence safeguard came from are more than a time of cavalry the enemy. Because the array of opposite party is too long, for the confrontation, the cavalry who he orders Ali Saucisse is separated with center connects, cavalry who directly faces the enemy. 但腓拉得福斯并不担心,他深知双方的人数其实相差不大,只要克罗托内士兵与敌人接触,那么胜利就会到来,他最大的信心保障来自于比敌人多出一倍的骑兵。因为对方的阵列太长,为了方便对阵,他命令阿里索西斯的骑兵脱离与中路连接,直接面对敌人的骑兵。 But Crotone center is 3000 light armor-clad soldiers, their speed proportion infantry is quick, when the cavalry conquers the enemy, when makes a flank attack center, the speed of light armor-clad soldier can coordinate with it, routs enemy center together. As for the left flank 3000 multiple infantries, Philederus understands certainly, is unable to chase the light infantry at the heavy infantry clumsy speed, they only need go forward gradually, protect themselves good, simultaneously fastens right flank of enemy, does not make them reenforce center on the line. 而克罗托内的中路是3000轻甲兵,他们的速度比重步兵快,等骑兵战胜敌人,侧击中路时,轻甲兵的速度能与之配合,一起将敌人中路击溃。至于左翼的3000多重步兵,腓拉得福斯当然明白,以重步兵笨拙的速度是无法追赶轻步兵的,他们只需缓步前进,保护好自己,同时钉住敌人的右翼,不让他们增援中路就行。
