Before the Crotone envoy has not arrived, Milo from obtains the news in the warship place of Krimisa coast cruise: Theonian invaded the Crotone plain! 在克罗托内的使者还未到达之前,米隆就已经从在克里米萨海岸巡弋的战船处得到了消息:戴奥尼亚人入侵了克罗顿平原！ Milo is startled, shouted secretly: On working as of Theonian, no wonder they never attack a city, originally attracts my attention, Theonian of south camp has gone south! 米隆大吃一惊,暗叫:上了戴奥尼亚人的当,难怪他们始终不攻城,原来只是吸引我的注意,南面营地的戴奥尼亚人早就南下了！ However must attack the Theonia southern camp, he also somewhat hesitates: After all the Theonia army eyes covetously under the city, once oneself transfer the army, what they look in the stage is clear, seizes the chance to attack, discards Krimisa, the trouble was bigger! 但是要进攻戴奥尼亚的南营,他又有些犹豫:毕竟戴奥尼亚的军队就在城下虎视眈眈,自己一旦调动军队,他们在高台上看的是一清二楚,趁机进攻的话,丢掉克里米萨,麻烦就更大了！ ........................ …………………… The Aprustum siege warfare is held intensely, Fahger Lees has not thought that Theonian comes up to fiercely attack, fierce does not fear. 阿斯普鲁斯图姆的攻城战正在激烈的进行中,法格里斯没想到戴奥尼亚人一上来就猛攻,悍不畏死。 The scaling ladder pushed mast top turns, makes contact with quickly. The soldiers social climbing scaling ladders on, previous was pounded down, the latter acceleration without hesitation is upward. The light infantry brigade nears to the city, does not dread the arrow arrow, similarly in garrison troops ejection javelin to city and arrow arrow...... 云梯被推杆顶翻,很快又搭上。士兵们一个个攀附云梯而上,前一个被砸下,后一个毫不犹豫的加速向上。轻步兵大队抵近到城下,不畏惧箭矢,同样对城上守军抛射标枪、箭矢…… The Theonian fierce offensive made the progress quickly, the defense of city wall was broken through repeatedly, the Theonia soldier went to the top, the garrison troops discovered that these wore the Theonia soldier of Greek style armor to be tall, powerfully-built, the long hair shawl, the roar was strange, obviously was not Greeks. They fight with all might aggressively, strength strange big, must kill or expel their one, the garrison troops must pay with the lives of several soldiers. 戴奥尼亚人凶猛的攻势很快就取得了效果,城墙的防守多次被突破,戴奥尼亚士兵上了城头,守军才发现这些身穿希腊式盔甲的戴奥尼亚士兵身材高大,体格强壮,长发披肩,吼声怪异,明显不是希腊人。他们拼杀凶悍,力量奇大,要杀死或赶走他们一个,守军得付出好几个士兵的生命。 Fahger Lees has to send the reserve forces repeatedly, helping garrison troops get up the enemy in top to catch up, particularly the rightmost city wall section, that was Theonian attacks the most violent place. 法格里斯不得不多次派上预备队,帮助一线守军将上了城头的敌人赶下去,尤其是最右侧的城墙段,那是戴奥尼亚人攻击最猛烈的地方。 To defending a city some general Fahger Lees of experience knows: Theonian is impossible consistently to maintain so violent attack imposing manner, so long as has gone against this, Theonian was also helpless. Therefore he all sends the reserve forces, while yells toward the soldiers loudly, encourages their brave insistence fights. 对守城有些经验的将军法格里斯知道:戴奥尼亚人不可能始终保持如此猛烈的进攻气势,只要顶过这一阵,戴奥尼亚人也就无能为力了。因此他一边将预备队悉数派上,一边大声朝士兵们叫喊,鼓励他们勇敢的坚持战斗。 But he does not know, in the fight most is twisting time, the third army under city attempt order of long Hieronymus, his bodyguard platoon becomes one row, the collective to the left side top rocking round shield. 但他不知道,在战斗进行的最绞着的时刻,城下的第三军图长希罗尼穆斯的一声令下,他的亲卫队排成一排,集体对着左侧城头晃动圆盾。 In the city the most left garrison troops are defending the attack of enemy with single-hearted devotion, spreads one to shout suddenly: „Attack!!!” 城上最左端的守军正专心防御敌人的进攻,身后忽然传出一声大喊:“进攻！！！” They regarded as these of ally „Crotonians” to puncture the sword and spear to them, the relaxed solution these garrison troops, do not need the soldiers of third regiment, these dozens patrol soldiers to launch the attack to the neighboring garrison troops immediately...... 他们视为战友的那些“克罗托内人”向他们刺出了刀枪,轻松的解决掉这些守军,不待第三军团的士兵上来,这几十个侦察队士兵立刻向邻近的守军发动攻击…… Still fights in the right side top director Fahger Lees who obtains the news, the Theonia soldier has attacked and occupied the left side top, lots of soldiers climb up the embattlement rapidly, turns into the aisle, threatening kills to the center-section...... 还在右侧城头指挥战斗的法格里斯得到消息时,戴奥尼亚士兵已经攻占了左侧城头,大量的士兵迅速攀上城垛,翻入走道,气势汹汹的向中段杀来…… These morale not high Crotonians looked the situation is not wonderful, immediately abandons the shield lance, goes all out to run toward the city. 那些本就士气不高的克罗托内人一看情况不妙,立刻扔下盾矛,拼命往城内跑。 This ran induces the dominoes effect immediately. Under front and fiercely attacking of side Theonia soldier, the garrison troops collapsed finally, they rush to be first wants to flee from the top, instead under the aisle of city will stop up watertight. The garrison troops soldier of being scared jumps toward the city from seven meters high city wall unexpectedly in abundance directly, breaks the leg and foot, breaks the head, all lies down on the ground wails to continue. 这一跑立刻诱发了多米诺骨牌效应。在前面和侧面的戴奥尼亚士兵的猛攻下,守军终于崩溃了,他们争先恐后的想逃离城头,反而将下城的走道堵得水泄不通。慌了神的守军士兵居然纷纷直接从七米高的城墙上往城内跳,摔断腿脚,跌破头,个个躺在地上哀嚎不止。 The people in city are also terrified, panic-stricken is yelling is yelling: „Enemy kills to enter a city! The enemies killed!!......” 城内的民众同样惊恐万状,惊恐的叫喊着的叫喊着:“敌人杀进城啦！敌人杀进来了！！……” They bring along the old and young, hurriedly wants to escape from south gate, flees to Crotone. 他们扶老携幼,急匆匆的想逃出南门,逃往克罗托内。 Happen to bumps into the people that hurry to escape the line to the halfway Crotone reinforcements, knew that the Aprustum city falls into enemy hands unexpectedly, is startled, does not dare to go forward again, immediately the turning around round trip runs. 行至半途的克罗托内援军正好迎面撞上慌忙逃亡的民众,得知阿斯普鲁斯图姆城竟然失守,大吃一惊,没敢再前进,立刻掉头往回跑。 ........................ …………………… The Crotone envoy rushes to Krimisa, brings the order to attack of powwow. 克罗托内使者赶到克里米萨,带来议事会的进攻命令。 It is not the chief general, but wore Milo of body of crime eventually to finish his indecision, sent out 7000 soldiers, including 2000 multiple infantries, launched the attack to Umblija Henanan's Theonia camps. 已经不是首席将军、而是戴罪之身的米隆终于结束了他的犹豫不决,派出7000名士兵,其中包括2000多重步兵,向温布利亚河南岸的戴奥尼亚营地发动进攻。 Observes the enemy trend Davos to make second regiment's first chief Adrien lead 2000 heavy infantries and 500 light infantries in the stage to cross river immediately the reinforcement to replace the third army chart, to guard 2000 soldiers who the first regiment Chief Matonis in southern camp leads. Has the firm camp, to have the reinforcement of momentarily northern camp, Matonis has the confidence to repel these large group of invading enemies 在高台上观察到敌人动向的戴弗斯立即让第二军团第一大队长阿德里安克斯率领2000重步兵、500轻步兵过河增援接替第三军图、驻守南营的第一军团马托尼斯大队长率领的2000士兵。有坚固的营地、有北营的随时增援,马托尼斯有信心击退这些人数众多的来犯之敌 However, the attack of Crotone is the thunderclap is big, raindrop is small, ate point „nail foot thorn” and „to hang the meat hook” after the camp and other traps slightly owed, retreats to return to the city immediately. Milo naturally not with Crotone only one team that has the battle efficiency bumps Theonia to guard against the stern camp hardly . Moreover the soldiers also lack the attack the courage, in a discovery camp the enemy has tight security, he sounded the bugle of retreating. 但是,克罗托内的进攻是雷声大、雨点小,在营地前吃了点“钉脚刺”、“挂肉钩”等陷阱的小亏后,就立刻撤退回城。米隆当然不会拿克罗托内仅有的一支有战斗力的队伍去硬碰戴奥尼亚防备森严的营地,而且士兵们也缺乏进攻的勇气,一发现营地内敌人防守严密,他就吹响了撤退的军号。 Crotone envoy actually to army easily retreats to be angry, orders Milo to continue to attack forcefully, otherwise must remove the Milo leading duty on the threat. However the soldiers expressed the support for Milo, the envoy is weak, helpless leaves Krimisa, returns to the Crotone powwow to complain. 克罗托内使者却对部队的轻易撤退而愤怒,强行命令米隆继续进攻,否则就威胁要解除米隆的领军职务。但是士兵们纷纷对米隆表示了支持,使者势单力孤,无奈离开克里米萨,回克罗托内议事会告状。 However this time Crotone powwow is in great confusion, „Theonia captured Aprustum” the astonishing news just like the clear sky thunderclap, making all powwow members dumbfounded. But outside the conference hall the people gather in the square, was shouting makes the powwow put out the solution crisis rapidly the means. 然而此时的克罗托内议事会乱成一团,“戴奥尼亚夺取了阿斯普鲁斯图姆”的惊人消息犹如晴空霹雳,让所有的议事会成员都目瞪口呆。而议事堂外民众们聚集在广场上,叫嚷着让议事会迅速拿出解决危局的办法。 This time, the call of peace talks by far before, even some people said: Can accept the Theonia condition, so long as the Crotone Northern Plain restores peacefully. 这一次,和谈的呼声远胜于之前,甚至有人表示:可以接受戴奥尼亚的条件,只要克罗顿北部平原恢复安宁。 In the powwow is still conducting the argument on peace talks, two matters that has one after another urged them finally to make decided: First when is the 500 soldiers of Theonia third regiment pursue the enemy remnants, bridges over Tachina Dee River, enters to the Crotone plain core region, and once was close to the Crotone city, although quick returns to the Aprustum city. However this startled great wild goose sees, still shocked the garrison troops and people in city. Falls into the scared not ampere hour in the entire city, passenger ship from Caulonia enters the Crotone harbor, from ship the Caulonia envoy brought a bigger Bad news Locri declares war to Caulonia! His army has set out to Caulonia, the envoy comes to request reinforcements to Crotone. 就在议事会还在就和谈一事进行争论时,接连发生的两件事促使他们终于做出了决定:首先是戴奥尼亚第三军团的500名士兵追击残敌时,跨过塔奇纳蒂河,进入到克罗顿平原的核心区域,并且一度接近克罗托内城,虽然很快就退回到阿斯普鲁斯图姆城。但是这惊鸿的一睹,仍然震惊了城内的守军及民众。就在整座城都陷入恐慌不安时,一艘来自考伦尼亚的客船进入克罗托内港口,从船上下来的考伦尼亚使者带来了一个更大的坏消息-洛克里向考伦尼亚宣战！其大军已经向考伦尼亚进发,使者是来向克罗托内求援的。 Matter that the Crotone powwow most is worried about happened finally: When mortal enemy Locri while Crotone falls into the quagmire of wear, outrageously attacks the Crotone allied country, as Crotone of hegemon, sending out the reinforcements is the matter of being duty-bound, but is only deals with the attack of Theonia to make Crotonians lack the ability to do what one would like at this moment, where also has the unnecessary military to aid Caulonia, but without the support of Crotone, Caulonia is impossible to stall the attack of Locri allied armies, this means that Crotone will face the worst war situation of being attacked front and rear, Crotone will have the destruction danger! 克罗托内议事会最担心的事情终于发生了:死敌洛克里趁着克罗托内陷入战争泥潭之际,悍然进攻克罗托内的盟邦,作为盟主的克罗托内,派出援军是责无旁贷的事,但是此刻光是应付戴奥利亚的进攻就已经让克罗托内人力不从心,哪里还有多余兵力去援助考伦尼亚,而没有克罗托内的支持,考伦尼亚是不可能挡住洛克里联军的进攻,这就意味着克罗托内将面临腹背受敌的最糟糕战争态势,克罗托内将会有覆灭的危险！ All members of powwow immediately stopped the quarrel, reaches the agreement rapidly: Achieves the peace talks with Theonia as soon as possible! 议事会的所有成员立即停止了争吵,迅速达成一致的意见:尽快与戴奥尼亚达成和谈！ Lysias has to start to go north again, to prevent his attitude is strong, causing the negotiations to be defeated, with has another envoy who he travels together- powwow member Sisticos( was before says „, no matter Theonia put forward what condition, so long as can restore the Crotone plain peace, should comply with” that). 吕西阿斯不得不再次启程北上,为防止他态度过于强硬,导致谈判失败,与他同行的还有另一位使者-议事会成员西斯普罗提斯(就是之前说出“不管戴奥尼亚提什么条件,只要能恢复克罗顿平原的安宁,都应该答应”的那位)。 ..................... ………………… At this moment, in the army big tent/account of Theonia camp, is permeated with happy atmosphere. „The third regiment attacks and occupies the Aprustum city” the news makes each high-ranking military officer feel inspired. 此刻,在戴奥尼亚营地的中军大帐中,洋溢着一片欢乐的气氛。“第三军团攻占阿斯普鲁斯图姆城”的消息让每位将官都感到振奋。 „Commander Sir, we should while capturing Aprustum and Crotonians panic-stricken flurried good time, to launch the attack to Krimisa, can definitely take it smoothly!” Drakos anxious saying, as legatus of second regiment, the score of his army cannot fall behind the third regiment. “司令官大人,我们应该趁着夺取了阿斯普鲁斯图姆、克罗托内人惊恐慌乱的好时机,对克里米萨发动进攻,肯定能顺利的拿下它！”德拉克斯急切的说道,作为第二军团的军团长,他的部队的战绩不能落在第三军团后面。 „The Aprustum city has belonged to us, perhaps Crotonians perseveres Krimisa to be little significance, them will again give up the Krimisa city quickly. We can obtain it with ease, does not need to sacrifice the life of soldier to go to the storm.” Kapus discrete saying. “阿斯普鲁斯图姆城已经归我们所有,克罗托内人再坚守克里米萨已经没有多大的意义,恐怕他们很快就会放弃克里米萨城。我们可以轻松的得到它,没必要牺牲士兵的生命去强攻。”卡普斯谨慎的说道。 „But, ignores more than 10,000 Crotonians retreat, will only increase us to attack the difficulty of Crotone city!” The Drakos loud rebuttal said. “可是,放任这一万多克罗托内人撤退,只会增加我们进攻克罗托内城的难度！”德拉克斯大声反驳道。 Kapus is at a loss for words for a while. Truly, Crotone is the big city, not only in the city is vast, is populous, but also the city wall as high as ten meters, the moat also has six meters width. According to the conventional fighting method, being doomed is the prolonged besieged city war, the sea in the control of Theonia, is unable thorough blockade Crotone, then only has the storm, is facing such a firm big city, the lives of how many soldiers can pay with? Can capture it? Almost all high-ranking military officers are beating a drum. The military of if defending a city has been strengthened again, then the odds of success was uncertainer. 卡普斯一时语塞。确实,克罗托内是大城,不但城内面积广阔,人口众多,而且城墙高达十米,护城河也有六米宽。按照常规的打法,注定是旷日持久的围城战,偏偏海洋不在戴奥尼亚的掌控中,无法彻底的封锁克罗托内,那么就只有强攻,可是面对这样一座坚固的大城,要付出多少士兵的生命？能不能攻下它？几乎所有的将官们心里都在打鼓。如果守城的兵力再得到加强,那么胜算就更加渺茫了。 The Davos facial expression is tranquil, turns head to ask: „Sir Avinoges, you thinks how our next should do?” 戴夫斯却神情平静,扭头问道:“阿维诺吉斯大人,您认为我们下一步该如何做？” After entering the army tent/account, except for congratulating Davos gains the victory again, continuously Avinoges of silent observation facing the vision that Drakos and Kapus focus, does not decline, says directly: „Why can we attack the Crotone city? Since we hold such big advantage now, why can't force Crotonians and our peace talks?” 进了军帐之后,除了祝贺戴弗斯再次取得胜利,一直在沉默观察的阿维诺吉斯面对德拉科斯、卡普斯聚焦过来的目光,也不推辞,直接开口说道:“为什么我们一定要进攻克罗托内城？既然现在我们占有这么大的优势,为什么不能逼迫克罗托内人与我们和谈？” „Crotonians is not quickly good, too to be cheap with their peace talks they!” Drakos opposes immediately. “克罗托内人已经快不行了,同他们和谈岂不是太便宜了他们！”德拉克斯当即表示反对。 Kapus is lost in thought. 卡普斯则陷入沉思。 The corners of the mouth of Davos appear a happy expression: archon considered that the issue the angle and pure general is different! 戴弗斯的嘴角浮现一丝笑意:执政官考虑问题的角度还是与单纯的将领不同啊！ He just about to speaks, the bodyguard long Martius instruction entered, brought two letters. 他刚要说话,亲卫队长马尔提乌斯请示进入,带来了两封信。 From Philesius, Davos reads the letter/believes, the frown tight wrinkle, looking pensive. Then looked that second letter of special mark- this is the letter/believes that Aristias writes, his quick frown stretches. 一封来自斐利修斯,戴弗斯看完信,双眉紧皱,若有所思。接着又看第二封有特殊标记的信件-这是阿里斯提拉斯写来的信,他很快双眉又舒展开来。
