Does the Locripersonwantto escape?! AskamasseesLocrifleetsuchperformance, quite the feelingis startled.
难道洛克里人想要逃跑?!阿斯卡玛斯见洛克里舰队如此的表现,颇感吃惊。However, the action of Locrifleetcame as a surprise tohisagain, inspread outafter the Crotonefleet, the Locrifleettransfers the bowagain, stance that exhibiting to attack.
但是,洛克里舰队的举动再次出乎了他的意料,在与克罗托内船队拉开了一段距离后,洛克里舰队再次调转船头,摆出要进攻的架势。Askamashas not goneto ponderfor a while: Does the Locripersonmove unnecessarilyforwhat?阿斯卡玛斯一时没去细想:洛克里人多此一举是为了什么?Hisfleet also makes the correspondingaction.
他的舰队也随之作出相应的举动。Twofleetsare closeagainfast, but the fleet of thisLocripersonhas not fledagain.
两支舰队再次快速接近,只是这一次洛克里人的舰队没有再逃离。Warships of both sidesare jig-saw patterned, circlesmutually the hit.
双方的战船犬牙交错,相互盘旋撞击。Onmarinefightandlanddifferent, the fight of landis fastidious aboutformationextremely, once the formationwas shattered, oftenmeans the failure, butonce the marinefightstarts, the formationdispersed, oftenis between independentduel of warshiptowarship, what to winto rely onis the fit and unfit quality and captains and sailorswarshipproficientlyholds the shiptechnology.
海上战斗与陆地上不同,陆上的战斗极其讲究阵列阵型,一旦阵型破碎,往往意味着失败,而海上战斗一旦开始,阵型就散了,往往是战船对战船的之间单独的决斗,要想获胜凭借的是战船的优劣和船长、水手们熟练的操船技术。CrotoneandLocridozensyears of gratitude and grudges, understood each other. The constitution of strengthandcrew of fleet, the generalcharacteristics, Askamas is very even clear, hebelieves that are manysixthreethick liquidwarshipswithownfleet, altogethersurpasses the advantages of Locrifleettenwarships, achieves the success of thisnaval battle, is onlya matter of time.克罗托内与洛克里几十年的恩怨,相互都非常了解。舰队的实力、船员的构成、甚至将领的特点,阿斯卡玛斯都十分清楚,他坚信以自己舰队多出六艘三层浆战船,总共超出洛克里舰队十艘战船的优势,获得这场海战的胜利,只是时间早晚的问题。In the fight, the Askamasplaceshipbyveryadeptfastbacking up, the thrillingevadingenemyshipto the placeshipcentralhit, after turning danger into safety, insteadcauses the enemyshiphorizontalinhisplaceshipbow- bronzehits the corner/horn the front. Thisis a golden opportunity, howhecanlet off, immediatelymakes the sailorbeating, the placeshipquicklyturn into the advanceby the retreatfastbackward.
在战斗中,阿斯卡玛斯的座舰以十分娴熟的快速倒退,惊险的避过敌船对座舰中部的撞击,化险为夷之后,反而使敌船横置在了他座舰舰首-青铜撞角的前方。这是个大好机会,他又怎能放过,立刻让水手快速向后打浆,座舰很快又由后退变成前进。But the enemyshipalsorevolvesrapidly, shifted toLancetMarcas'splaceship the bow.
但敌船也迅速旋转,将舰首转向了阿斯马卡斯的座舰。Although the response of enemyshipis rapid, butexperiencedAskamashas not given up, the placeshipis close to the enemyshiprapidly, mutuallyis soon close, staggeredandobsolete, Askamasshoutsone: „Receives the thick liquid!”
虽然敌船的反应迅速,但经验丰富的阿斯卡玛斯没有放弃,座舰在飞速接近敌船,快要相互贴近、交错而过时,阿斯卡玛斯大喊一声:“收浆!”To the sailorstransmitsin the boatswain who the bottomwarehouselistens respectfully to the orderimmediately, well-trainedtheyimmediatelywithdrawingwood-pulp, but the enemyshiphad also just fallen the bow, has not received the thick liquidwith enough time, more than 20metersthreethick liquidplaceshipsbefore the hugeinertia that to/clasheswill approachitsone sideenemyshipwooden oarto hitmostly, making the enemyshipfall intois unable to lack the thick liquiddifficult position that butis unable to go forward.
在底仓聆听命令的水手长立刻向水手们传达,训练有素的他们立刻抽回木浆,而敌船还刚刚掉过船头,没有来得及收浆,二十多米长的三层浆座舰借着前冲的巨大惯性将靠近它一侧的敌船木桨大部分撞断,使敌船陷入无法缺浆而无法前进的困境。Cheersin the sailors, Askamaspreparesto transfer the bow, thoroughly when itsinks, the rear area of Crotonefleetsuddenlypresented a fleet of more than 20threethick liquidwarships, andimmediatelylaunches the attackto the Crotonewarship.
就在水手们欢呼,阿斯卡玛斯准备调转船头,彻底将其撞沉之时,克罗托内舰队的后方突然出现了一只20多艘三层浆战船的舰队,并立即对克罗托内战船发动攻击。

最后,克罗托内舰队惨败,被击沉15艘,俘虏了八艘,还有十艘严重受损,阿斯卡玛斯带领少数战船闯出敌人的包围。Infleeing toCrotoneon the way, Askamasindepressedcontinuouslyinpainfulthinking: Warship that Locrithatcomes outfrom where?
在逃往克罗托内的途中,阿斯卡玛斯在沮丧中一直在痛苦的思索:洛克里那多出来的战船从何而来?...........................

The victory of naval battledroveLocriarmy that siegesCaulonia. Whennext morning, the Crotonereinforcementsarrive in the Cauloniacity , the Locriarmydoes not attend tothese daysattacks the weariness of Cauloniacity, immediatelylaunches the battle.
海战的胜利激励了围困考伦尼亚的洛克里军队。在第二天一早,克罗托内援军抵达考伦尼亚城附近时,洛克里军队不顾这一段时间攻打考伦尼亚城的疲劳,立即发动会战。
The Crotonearmyhas not ducked the challenge.克罗托内军队没有回避挑战。Therefore, both sideslaunched a fierce combatin the Cauloniacity northsuburb.
于是,双方在考伦尼亚城北的郊外展开了一场激战。On the military, Locriare more, but because mustbranch outsomemilitaryto siegeCaulonia, thereforeboth sidesis almost the same. Butin the Locriarmyis the heavy infantry and lightarmor-clad soldieris in the majority, butCrotone the light infantry who composesin5000freemen of bycarefulchoicehas the distinctadvantage.
就兵力而言,洛克里多一些,但由于要分出部分兵力围困考伦尼亚,因此双方人数相差无几。但洛克利军队中是重步兵和轻甲兵居多,而克罗托内则在以精心挑选的5000名自由民组成的轻步兵占明显优势。BecauseLocrigeneralis worried about the impulse of Crotoneheavy infantry, thereforethickened the tandem. ButCrotoniansbecause of the limit of condition, inlearned the substantialexperienceswith the deeply grievedlesson of Theoniaarmybattle, afterjustformationfinished, immediatelysends the light infantryto go forwardto attack, because the Locrilight infantry the quantityare too small, is defeatedquickly.洛克里将领由于担心克罗托内重步兵的冲击力,所以加厚了纵列。而克罗托内人因为条件的限制,又在与戴奥尼亚军队交战的惨痛教训中学到了不少经验,在刚列阵完毕之后,立即派轻步兵上前攻击,洛克里的轻步兵由于数量太少,很快败下阵来。Then, the Crotonelight infantrystartsto the Locriarmyjavelin throw, the Locriinfantryby big casualties.
接着,克罗托内轻步兵开始向洛克里的军阵投掷标枪,洛克里步兵遭受不小的伤亡。Under such circumstances, the Locripersonsounds the attackbugleimmediately.
在此情形下,洛克里人当即吹响进攻号角。Facing the overwhelmingheavy infantrycharge, the Crotonelight infantrydoes not have the Theonialight infantrysuchstrictorganization and sense of discipline, does not have the experiencedveteranto stabilize the morale of troops, does not havesuch asEpiphanes, Cid, Arpenstand other outstandinglight infantrygeneralexquisiteflexibleassuming personal commanddirections, does not have the civil rights, landand othermaterial reward of the stimulation, moreover a Crotoneheavy infantrycrowdedarmyunnecessarycrevicehas not retreatedforthem, they can only panicfled the battlefieldfrom the both sides, resultmanylight infantriesescapeswithout enough time, were killed under the charge of Locriheavy infantry. Escapeswith great difficulty, with the efforts ofgeneral, the light infantrytriesto gather, immediatelyencounters the surprise attack of Locricavalry, was scatteredagain.
面对排山倒海般的重步兵冲锋,克罗托内轻步兵既没有戴奥尼亚轻步兵那样严密的组织和纪律性,也没有经验丰富的老兵稳定军心,更没有如埃皮忒尼斯、茨皮特、阿尔普恩斯等优秀的轻步兵将领精妙灵活的坐镇指挥,更没有公民权、土地等物质奖励的刺激,而且克罗托内的重步兵密集军阵没有多余的空隙供他们撤退,他们只能惊慌失措的从两侧逃离战场,结果不少轻步兵来不及逃出,丧生于洛克里重步兵的冲锋之下。好不容易逃出来,在将领的努力下,轻步兵试图重新聚集起来,立刻又遭到洛克利骑兵的突袭,再次被驱散。However, making a harassing attack of light infantryalsoconsumedanddiverted the energy of Locriinfantry, now is only left overinfantry'sfightto the infantryin the battlefield. A sidejustgot out ofmiseryfromTheonia, the bodyhas not fully restored; A sideattacksCauloniacontinuously, has not obtained the fullrest. sideBingshao, buthas the faith of scrubbingshameanddefend territory; A sidesoldier/weaponare many, butwas attackedby the light infantrybefore, the moraleis slightly low.
不过,轻步兵的袭扰也消耗和分散了洛克里步兵的精力,如今在战场上只剩下步兵对步兵的战斗。一方刚从戴奥尼亚脱离苦海,身体尚未完全恢复;一方连续攻打考伦尼亚,没得到充分的休息。一方兵少,但有着洗刷耻辱、保卫领土的信念;一方兵多,但之前遭受轻步兵的打击,士气略显低落。both sidesslaughtered for nearlytwohours, Locriis finally weak, is repulsedfrom the battlefield.
双方厮杀了近两个小时,洛克里终于不支,从战场败退。Thisbattle, Crotone and Locricasualtiesare close, more than 2000people, butin the person of Crotonecasualtiesare moreis a freeman.
这一场会战,克罗托内与洛克里伤亡人数相近,约有2000多人,只是克罗托内伤亡的人中更多的是自由民。AlthoughLocridefeats, the casualtiesare not serious, itwithdrewtosieging of Caulonia.洛克里虽然战败,伤亡并不严重,它撤出了对考伦尼亚的围困。
The Crotonereinforcementscansmoothlyenter the Cauloniacity, obtainsin the city the warmwelcome of people, but the situationis not favorableforCrotone.克罗托内援军得以顺利进入考伦尼亚城,得到城内民众的热烈欢迎,但是局势对克罗托内并不有利。
The Locriarmyretreatsto the Cauloniacitysouthpitches camp, eyes covetouslyto the Cauloniacityas before.洛克里的军队撤退到考伦尼亚城南面扎营,依旧对考伦尼亚城虎视眈眈。
The Locrifleetpatrolsinmarine, closes off the Crotonenavigation route, before Theonia , the pain of bearing, Crotoneunderwentat this momentsimilarly.洛克里舰队游弋在海上,封锁克罗托内的海上航线,戴奥尼亚之前所承受的痛苦,克罗托内此刻同样尝受到了。This timeCrotonecityis the crack troopscompletelyleaves, butLocristillhad the ample force, the coastallanding between twodayslatter more than 1000Locrisoldiers'inCrotoneandScylletium, kill and burnto plunder, invades the Crotoneterritoryto the north.
此时的克罗托内城已经是精兵尽出,而洛克里尚有余力,两日后一千多洛克里士兵在克罗托内与西里庭之间的海岸登陆,一路烧杀抢掠,向北侵入克罗托内领地。Crotonepeopleafterexperiencing the shock of naval battledisastrous defeat, hears the news that the Locripersoninvades, is panic-stricken. But the powwow, thenaccusesLysiasto act willfully, causingin the city the militaryto be void, not being able to send out the armyto repel the invasion of enemy.克罗托内民众在经历了海战惨败的震惊之后,又听到洛克里人入侵的消息,再度惊恐起来。而议事会则指责吕西阿斯一意孤行,致使城内兵力空虚,派不出军队击退敌人的入侵。Lysiashas not refuted the powwowtohiscriticism, the disastrous defeat of hisalsoveryshockingfleet, he can only propose that similarlyat this time the powwow conducts the entirecityto mobilize, simultaneouslysends the envoyrequests reinforcementstoTheonia and Aprustumcity.吕西阿斯没有反驳议事会对他的批评,他同样也很震惊舰队的惨败,此时他只能提议议事会进行全城动员,同时派遣使者向戴奥尼亚以及阿斯普鲁斯图姆城求援。In this case, Crotoneactuallydoes not haveothermeans to think, butjustended the warwithTheonia, the scoldingvoice of entireCrotonecitytoTheoniahas not vanished, at this momentactuallymusttoitsdesirerescue, the congressmenor the peoplesomewhatwipedo not remove the fine hairs from face the surface.
在这种情况下,克罗托内其实也无别的办法可想,只是才刚刚与戴奥尼亚结束了战争,整个克罗托内城对戴奥尼亚的骂声还未消失,此刻却又要向其乞求救助,无论是议员还是民众都有些抹不开脸面。Aprustumis not farfromCrotone, Sisticosat high speed, before less thantwohoursrushed toAprustumcitysouth gate .阿斯普鲁斯图姆距离克罗托内并不远,西斯普罗提斯快马加鞭,不到两个小时就赶到了阿斯普鲁斯图姆城南门前。AlthoughTheoniahas realized the peacewithCrotone, butAprustumcity garrisonhas not relaxed, insteadis more stern. In the cityhasteams of sentriesto go on patrolback and forth, under the cityhas the guardto guardbefore the city gate, althoughfewpedestrianspass in and out the city gate, but the execution the duty, thisis still enablingSisticosto acceptquestioning of guardearnestlypatiently.
虽然戴奥尼亚已经与克罗托内实现和平,但阿斯普鲁斯图姆的城防并未放松,反而更加森严。城上有一队队哨兵来回巡逻,城下有卫兵驻守在城门前,虽然只有很少的行人进出城门,但他们依然认真的执行着任务,这使得西斯普罗提斯能够耐心的接受卫兵的盘查。When the cityofficers of the guardappearinhisfrontagain, brought the order of chief executiveHielos: Hewas allowedto enter.
当城卫队长再次出现在他面前时,带来了行政长官希洛斯的命令:他被获准进入。Justentered a city, hewas fearedby the presentscene: Under footdoes not calculate that the broadmainstreetdustflies upwards, somepeopledig the drainageby the streetwith the pickaxe, somepeopleare using the iron hammer and awlstrike the stackin the roadsidestone, will then cut the goodstoneshopon the unsurfaced road, but alsosomepeople some bar pathunobstructedconstructionswill tear down, builds the brick wallagain......
刚一进城,他就被眼前的景象惊住了:脚下这条并不算宽阔的主街道尘土飞扬,一些人在街道两旁用丁字镐挖水沟,一些人在用铁锤和锥子敲打堆放在路旁的石块,然后将切好的石块铺在土路上,还有的人将阻碍道路通畅的一些建筑拆掉,重砌砖墙……Earth moving, transports/fortunes the stone, transports/fortunes the trash...... innumerablecapablemalebusykeep, turned into a bigwork sitehere, bustling that the peopledo, fewstopsliving in hand, looks athisoneeyes.
运土的、运石头的、运垃圾的……无数精壮的男子忙碌个不停,将这里变成了一个大工地,众人干的热火朝天,几乎没有人停下手中的活,多看他一眼。„What is thisis making?”Sisticoscuriousasking.
“这是在做什么?”西斯普罗提斯好奇的问。
The cityofficers of the guardreplied: „Becausewewill migrate toherein the future, thereforeweare constructingourhomeland. The path in thiscityis too narrow . Moreover the roadis uneven, the trashandsewageeverywhereare......”
城卫队长回答:“因为我们将来会移居到这里,所以我们在建设自己的家园。这座城里的道路太窄,而且路还不平,垃圾、污水到处都是……”
The team leadersaid the diseases in manythiscity, Sisticosfinds itveryridiculous, hecomes to the Aprustumcityfrequently, felt that herewith the Tarantocitynottwo kinds, somewhereTheoniansaidtheseissues, immediatelyasks: „Aren't youGreeks?”
队长说了不少这座城市的弊病,西斯普罗提斯觉得很是好笑,他经常来阿斯普鲁斯图姆城,感觉这里与塔兰图姆城并无两样,哪有戴奥尼亚人说得那些问题,立刻问道:“你们不是希腊人吧?”„WeareLucanian, butweare the Theoniacitizens!” The cityofficers of the guardsaidloudly.
“我们是卢卡利亚人,但我们是戴奥尼亚公民!”城卫队长大声说道。„Good that yourGreeksaid.”Sisticosapprovedone, then a thread of conversationrevolution: „Iheard,yourLucaniaarea is the mountainous region, is arid and barren, cannot eat to the fullfrequently, has not thought that alsocaresto the environment.”
“你的希腊语说的不错。”西斯普罗提斯赞了一句,然后话锋一转:“我听说,你们卢卡尼亚地区全是山地,土地贫瘠,经常吃不饱,没想到对居住环境还这么在意。”„SinceourtribejoinedTheonia, wedo not starve!” The team leaderlooked likesufferedshame, is blushingto shout: „The place that welived before trulycannot compareherehouse, buthereandIhave seencompared withThurii, actuallymissedfar!”
“自从我们部落加入了戴奥尼亚,我们早就不挨饿了!”队长象蒙受了羞辱似的,红着脸喊道:“我们以前居住的地方确实比不上这里的房屋,但是这里和我所见过的图里伊相比,却差远了!”
