„How goes to war! Before which war, my Timias has not provided the good service for the soldiers, is your Umakas, I also more than once to visit at your service, has not seen you saying that affects your rest!” The Timias righteous loudness said, several women also lavish praise in the one side to Umakas, backing up of charming voices of young women. “打仗又怎么啦！哪一次战争前,我提米阿斯没有为士兵们提供好的服务,就是你攸马卡斯,我也不止一次的为你服务上门,也没见你说影响你的休息！”提米阿斯理直气壮的大声说完,几位妇女也在一旁向攸马卡斯抛媚眼,莺声燕语的帮腔。 „Good, good, you are willing to treat here, is treating here! I have the urgent matter!” Umakas is anxious and angry, under big crowd of people, is not good to manifest suddenly, somewhat said angrily, urges on a horse goes forward, making the guarding a gate guard go in the notification. “好,好,你愿意在这里待着,就在这里待着吧！我还有急事！”攸马卡斯又急又气,在大庭广众之下,又不好发作,有些恼怒的说完,驱马上前,让守门卫兵进去通报。 „Sir Umakas, is seeing Theonia archon time, can help us say one, puts us to go in......” to see Umakas to enter the camp, collects, Umakas that Timias is smiling does not pay attention to him, goes in directly. “攸马卡斯大人,见着戴奥尼亚执政官的时候,能不能帮我们说一声,放我们进去……”见攸马卡斯要进营,提米阿斯又嬉皮笑脸的凑上来,攸马卡斯根本不理会他,径直进去。 .................................... ……………………………… When Davos has the camp, Timias and women also want to encircle, was led the guards to rush to the one side by Martius them, the air/Qi he shouted abuse. 待戴弗斯出营时,提米阿斯和妇女们还想围上来,被马尔提乌斯带领卫兵们将他们赶到了一旁,气得他破口大骂。 Umakas pretends not to hear, Davos laughs, he puts out a hand to point at front camp one piece to clamor the noisy region, said: „The mind of Taranto person is flexible, yesterday we just built the camp, today here forms a lively market automatically. To be honest, picked the essential commodity to provide very big convenience for our armies, but sported with prostitutes in the army prohibits strictly, according to «Theonian Military Law» stipulated, the law breaker will be eliminated the citizenship. Therefore even if that person entered the military compound, still no one dares to violate the military law to consult with him.” 攸马卡斯假装没听见,戴弗斯则哈哈大笑,他伸手指着营地前侧的一片喧哗嘈杂的区域,说道:“塔兰图姆人的头脑就是灵活,昨天我们刚筑营,今天这里就自动形成一个热闹的市场。说实话,为我们的军队采必需的物资提供了很大的便利,不过狎妓在军中是被严令禁止的,按《戴奥尼亚军法》规定,违法者会被剥夺公民身份。因此那人就算走进了军营,也没人敢违反军法与他接洽。” Umakas is blushing, echoes is smiling, sighed: „Your military laws are severe, no wonder the score is splendid.” 攸马卡斯微红着脸,附和着一笑,叹道:“你们的军法严厉,难怪战绩出色。” Holds the place of operational conference in the Taranto suburbs, in the Umakas manor. 召开作战会议的地点是在塔兰图姆城郊,攸马卡斯的庄园里。 In conference room, Davos not only saw Diaomilas, Taudeles of Teriphias and Metapontum archon Heraclea archon . 在会议室,戴弗斯不但见到了戴奥米拉斯,还有赫拉克利亚执政官之一特里菲亚斯和梅塔蓬图姆执政官之一图德普列斯。 Diaomilas or yesterday's that expression, the good and evil has not spoken what baseless rumor, it is estimated that the bad news of navy disastrous defeat wiped out his frame of mind. 戴奥米拉斯还是昨天那副表情,好歹没有说什么风言风语,估计海军惨败的坏消息打掉了他的心气。 Taudeles very polite gave regards to Davos, the performance was fair. Actually Teriphias and Davos handshake hugs, is cheerful and lively. After all, Heraclea neighbors Amendolara, in Davos leads the mercenaries just in Amendolara based, had the communication with Heraclea, less than two years, established the quite close relationship. 图德普列斯非常客气的向戴弗斯问好,表现中规中矩。倒是特里菲亚斯和戴夫斯握手拥抱,有说有笑。毕竟,赫拉克利亚紧邻阿门多拉腊,在戴弗斯率领雇佣军刚刚在阿门多拉腊立足时,就与赫拉克利亚有了来往,不到两年时间,建立起了较为密切的关系。 After the people sit down, Umakas heavy saying: „Fellow Sirs, thank you, when Taranto suffered, provided the selfless help to us! I and Representative Diaomilas Council of Taranto and Taranto people expressed heartfelt gratitude to you!” Then, Umakas earnest salutes to three people. 待众人都坐下后,攸马卡斯又重的说道:“各位大人,感谢你们在塔兰图姆遭遇困难的时候,向我们提供了无私的帮助！我和戴奥米拉斯代表塔兰图姆元老院及塔兰图姆民众向你们表示衷心的感谢！”说完,攸马卡斯认真的向三人行礼。 Diaomilas also reluctant follows to salute, Davos three people of also polite returning a courtesy. 戴奥米拉斯也勉强的跟着行礼,戴弗斯三人也随之客气的回礼。 After this formality, entered the subject. 这一番礼节之后,就进入了正题。 Diaomilas stands, said: „Manduria, only then less than 4000 soldiers guard, is encountering besieging of Messapi-Peuceti alliance already two days! According to a reliable source, Messapi-Peuceti alliance has 30,000 people fully, if we do not take action immediately, Manduria will suffer with the Brindisi same destiny! Council of Taranto has made the decision, sending us to go to give Manduria to break through immediately, and looks for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Messapi-Peuceti alliance, what has not to agree?” 戴奥密拉斯站起来,说道:“曼杜利亚只有不到4000名士兵驻守,正遭到梅普联军的围攻已经两天了！据可靠消息,梅普联军足有三万人,如果我们不立刻采取行动,曼杜利亚将会遭受到跟布林迪西一样的命运！塔兰图姆元老院已经作出决定,派我们立刻前去给曼杜里亚解围,并寻机与梅普联军决战,诸位有什么不同意的吗？” His vision has swept Taudeles and Teriphias, finally falls on Davos. Heraclea and Metapontum take Taranto attached city-state, obey orders, therefore the question of Diaomilas naturally is to always aim at Theonia. 他的目光扫过图德普列斯、特里菲亚斯,最后落在戴弗斯身上。赫拉克利亚、梅塔蓬图姆作为塔兰图姆的附属城邦,一向唯命是从,所以戴奥米拉斯的问话当然是针对戴奥尼亚。 Both archon made the affirmative reply, Davos had not spoken immediately, but stood, circled to the Umakas body side, on his front wooden table is placing a Taranto detailed map, seeing marked Manduria that can be clear about was not far south the Taranto icon, he used the finger to gesticulate, asked: „Does Manduria leave here far?” 两位执政官都作出了肯定的回答,戴弗斯却没有马上说话,而是站起来,绕到攸马卡斯身侧,他面前的木桌上摆放着一张塔兰图姆的详细地图,可以清楚的看到被标记的曼杜里亚在塔兰图姆图标南面不远,他用手指比划了一下,问道:“曼杜利亚离这里有多远？” „Is less than 50 li (0.5 km).” Umakas replied. “不到五十里。”攸马卡斯回答。 50 li (0.5 km). Davos is estimating: According to the Theonia regiment 15 miles per hour normal marching speed, in three hours are getatable. The Manduria position in one „coastal corridor” on, one side is the sea, one side is the mountain forest, but the Manduria city is not situated in the seashore unexpectedly, but is the dependence in the mountain forest. However thinks that its north was not Taranto, Messapians constructs this city definitely to consider the Taranto naval power, therefore enhanced strong points and avoided weaknesses. 50里。戴弗斯估算着:按照戴奥尼亚军团每小时15里的正常行军速度,三个小时内就可到达。曼杜里亚所处的位置在一条“海岸走廊”上,一侧是大海,一侧是山林,而曼杜里亚城居然不是坐落在海滨,而是依靠在山林。不过想想它的北面不远就是塔兰图姆,梅萨皮人建此城肯定考虑到了塔兰图姆的海军实力,所以扬长避短。 „Here wide?” Davos catches that on map with two fingers „corridor”. “这里有多宽？”戴弗斯用两根手指卡住地图上的那条“走廊”。 „Narrowest six li (0.5 km).” Umakas replied. “最窄六里。”攸马卡斯回答。 Six li (0.5 km). The array that 30,000 people of line officers open exceeded this length early. Davos thinks, asked: „How many soldiers does the Taranto preparation send out?” 六里。三万人的部队长张开的阵列早超过了这个长度。戴弗斯想了想,又问:“塔兰图姆准备派出多少士兵？” Umakas just about to replies, Diaomilas could not have repressed, shouts: „Do you agree to dispatch troops, hurry to decide, do not ask this and that delays our time!-” 攸马卡斯刚要回答,戴奥密拉斯早已按捺不住,喊道:“你同不同意出兵,赶紧决定,不要问这问那,耽搁我们的时间！-” „Diaomilas!” Umakas quickly shouts, his expression is for fear that extreme, enrages Davos. “戴奥密拉斯！”攸马卡斯急忙喊道,生怕他言辞过激,激怒戴弗斯。 Diaomilas saw a moment ago Davos not only to has not been archon expresses the respect, but also acts in a completely informal or uninhibited manner is similar he is the president of this conference, this is indignant for a while. At this moment remembered the council senior statesmen's urging and Taranto dangerous situation, cold snort/hum, pouched in the anger the stomach. 戴奥密拉斯刚才只是看到戴弗斯不但没有对身为执政官的自己表示出尊重,而且旁若无人的仿佛他才是这次会议的主持者,这才一时激愤。此刻想起元老院元老们的叮嘱、塔兰图姆的危险处境,冷哼了一声,将怒火吞进了肚里。 The Davos facial expression is but actually tranquil, looks at Diaomilas, said slowly: „Launches a war not only to relate to a life and death of citizen soldier, relates to a city-state rise and fall, the policy-maker who as war, we must give careful consideration clearly, does Taranto have experiences the opportunity that a time is defeated again?!” 戴弗斯倒神情平静,看着戴奥米拉斯,缓缓说道:“发动一场战争不仅关系到一个公民士兵的生死,更关系到一个城邦的兴亡,作为战争的决策者,我们必须要慎重考虑清楚,难道塔兰图姆还有再经历一次失败的机会吗？！” Others are the Davos words, Diaomilas also snort/hum, whispered carefully: „This finds the excuse for your timid.” 其他人都为戴弗斯的话所动,戴奥密拉斯又哼了一声,小心嘀咕道:“这不过是为你的胆怯找理由。” Davos hehe smiles, without speech. 戴弗斯呵呵一笑,没有说话。 Timid? Others present will not approve the Diaomilas words, after all Davos the fight of director has defeated a numerically superior enemy in the past, has proven all. Is Taranto facing the attack of Messapi-Peuceti alliance, the anxious urging Theonia reinforcements, who is actually timid before? 胆怯？在座的其他人都不会认同戴奥密拉斯的话,毕竟戴弗斯以往所指挥的战斗一直都是以少胜多,已经证明了一切。倒是之前塔兰图姆面对梅普联军的进攻,急切的催促戴奥尼亚的援军,到底是谁在胆怯？ Umakas saw that Teriphias is blinking to Taudeles, looks some ridicules, his face could not hang, was busy at coming out to mediate: „Sir Davos please forgive the impoliteness of Diaomilas, he is also anxious in Taranto current...... the bad condition, is spur-of-the-moment, does not pass through speaking at a venture of consideration!” 攸马卡斯看到特里菲亚斯在向图德普列斯眨眼,面露些许讥讽,他的脸挂不住了,忙出来圆场:“戴弗斯大人请原谅戴奥密拉斯的无礼,他也是焦虑于塔兰图姆目前的……糟糕状况,才一时冲动,不经考虑的乱说话！” Umakas apologized, while signaled with the eyes toward Diaomilas continually. 攸马卡斯一边道歉,一边朝戴奥米拉斯连使眼色。 Diaomilas is feeling suffocated, without apology, but has not spoken again. 戴奥米拉斯憋着气,没有道歉,但也没有再说话。 „Taranto will send out 10,000 soldiers to go to battle.” Umakas also said: „In addition your reinforcements, such army force achieves 27000 people, differs not in a big way with the Messapi-Peuceti alliance quantity. After is Manduria breaks through, Taranto soldiers will increase to 14000 people, the army 31,000 people, this is a quite huge quantity, repelling Messapi-Peuceti alliance is completely not the issue.” “塔兰图姆将派出一万名士兵出征。”攸马卡斯又紧接着说道:“加上你们的援军,这样全军兵力达到27000人,和梅普联军的数量相差不大。等为曼杜里亚解围后,塔兰图姆的士兵人数将增加到14000人,全军三万一千人,这是一个相当庞大的数量,击退梅普联军完全不是问题。” „If the matter can such development as you said be best, but-” Davos made an effort to select on the map the Manduria icon: „If Messapi-Peuceti alliance not only does not engage in a decisive battle with us, instead retreated, have you considered?” “如果事情能像你所说的那样发展最好,但是-”戴弗斯用力点了点地图上曼杜里亚的图标:“如果梅普联军不但不与我们进行会战,反而撤退了,你们考虑过吗？” „This is impossible! The Messapians personality is testy and tyrannical, is very fond of the fight, regards to retreat to timidly.” Diaomilas refutes immediately. “这不可能！梅萨皮人性情易怒而暴虐,酷爱战斗,视撤退为怯弱。”戴奥密拉斯立刻反驳。 „Messapians can unite Peucetians to ambush Archytas, obviously does not only know hostile aggressive constantly.” Arrived Taranto, Davos also understood the truth that Archytas defeats, he analyzes to say at this time patiently: „According to my knowledge, the Messapians infantry is less than our heavy infantries, believes that Peucetians is this. Their cavalry, are however narrow in the Manduria region, if both sides engage in a decisive battle, does not help their cavalry attacks, but helps our heavy infantry combats, the intelligent person will not consider that this...... here, perhaps is their ideal battlefields,” Davos is pointing at Manduria and between the Brindisi two cities the quite big crevice, there does not have marking of mountain forest. “梅萨皮人能够联合普切蒂人伏击阿契塔,显然不是只知道一味的好勇斗狠。”到了塔兰图姆,戴弗斯也了解了阿契塔战败的真相,此时他耐心的分析道:“据我了解,梅萨皮人的步兵不及我们的重步兵,相信普切蒂人更是这样。他们的骑兵强,但是在曼杜里亚地域狭窄,双方如果进行会战,不利于他们的骑兵进攻,而利于我们的重步兵作战,聪明的人不会不考虑到这点……这里,或许才是他们理想的战场,”戴弗斯指着曼杜里亚与布林迪西两城之间比较大的空隙,那里没有山林的标识。 „But, once the enemy withdraws, we and Manduria Garrison troops meet, the strength has been increased, Messapi-Peuceti alliance faced with the difficult choice, the choice retreats directly also possibly has.” Davos also reminded. “可是,一旦敌人后撤,我们与曼杜里亚守军会合,实力又得到增加,梅普联军面临困难选择,选择直接撤退也不是没有可能。”戴弗斯又提醒道。 „Reasonable.” The Teriphias nod expressed the support, the Heraclea strength was not quite strong, before followed Taranto to go on an expedition the Messapi area, has a big loss, he naturally hopes that can not damage the soldier to drive back Messapians, completely arrived at the duty of ally smoothly on the line. “有道理。”特里菲亚斯点头表示赞同,赫拉克利亚的实力并不太强,之前跟随塔兰图姆征战梅萨皮地区,已经有了不小的损失,他当然希望能不损一兵一卒就逼退梅萨皮人,顺利尽到盟友的义务就行。 Taudeles is also harboring such psychology. 图德普列斯同样抱着这样的心理。 Umakas and Diaomilas looked at each other one, on the face some worried, they were clear: If Messapi-Peuceti alliance really such as Davos said the choice to retreat, this to Taranto is not a good deed. 攸马卡斯与戴奥密拉斯对视了一眼,脸上都有担忧,他们心里都清楚:如果梅普联军真如戴弗斯所说选择撤退,这对塔兰图姆并非好事。 Greek city-state organizes over ten thousand people of armies to go out the combat, often benefits at the fast war. After all the time grew, not only the expendable property is giant, but also lots of citizens internally, the city-state business does not put aside as useless for a long time mostly, did not wait for the war to end, in city-state chaotic order and house paddies vacant, perhaps also this/should withering away. Therefore, until now, has the ability long duration battle also only then Athens, Sparta and Syracuse, behind them has the powerful city-state alliance to provide the support. 希腊城邦组织上万人的军队出外作战,往往利在速战。毕竟时间长了,不但消耗物资巨大,而且大量的公民长时间不在国内,城邦事务大部分废置,不等战争结束,城邦内秩序混乱、房屋田地空置,恐怕也该消亡了。所以,至今为止,有能力长期作战的也只有雅典、斯巴达和锡拉库扎,他们背后都有强大的城邦联盟提供支持。 Messapi-Peuceti alliance retreats, over ten thousand Theonia reinforcements are not certainly able long dull, when Messapians attacks again, Taranto again whereabouts Theonia request reinforcements? Taranto gathered the so huge army with great difficulty, only wants to accomplish the whole task at one stroke, gives Messapi-Peuceti alliance to cause heavy losses, can change the Taranto declining tendency. 梅普联军撤退,上万名戴奥尼亚援军当然也无法久呆,等梅萨皮人再次进攻时,难道塔兰图姆再去向戴奥尼亚请求援军？塔兰图姆好不容易聚集了如此庞大的军队,只希望能毕其功于一役,给予梅普联军重创,才能改变塔兰图姆的颓势。
