Heraclea and Metapontum once dispatched troops to participate in the previous time Brindisi siege warfare, therefore two archon and Umakas have the painful lesson. 赫拉克利亚和梅塔蓬图姆都曾派兵参加过上次的布林迪西攻城战,因此两位执政官和攸马卡斯同样都有惨痛的教训。 Davos agrees, although he felt like where is not right, but concrete is anything, he is unable to talk clearly for a while. Because the Uzentum direction had not found that the trail of enemy, at least removed Messapi-Peuceti alliance to come around converging attack again a possibility of time. 戴弗斯对此表示同意,虽然他隐隐觉得什么地方不对,但具体是什么,他一时也无法说清。因为乌真图姆方向并没有发现敌人的踪迹,至少排除了梅普联军再来一次前后夹击的可能。 In order to chase the enemy, the army goes into action rapidly, the military baggage team all stayed in the Manduria city, meanwhile carried off 3000 Manduria garrison troops, increasing in the Taranto army total number of people to 13000 people, the army population reaches as high as more than 30,000 people. 为了追赶敌人,全军都迅速行动起来,辎重队全留在了曼杜里亚城内,同时还带走了3000曼杜里亚守军,使得塔兰图姆军队总人数上达到13000人,全军人数高达3万多人。 The army picked up the speed to pursue to north by yesterday's marching order, after line to ten li (0.5 km), received the mounted scout to return: Messapi-Peuceti alliance entered the north mountain ridge. 全军以昨日的行军顺序加快速度向北追击,行至十里后,又接到侦骑回报:梅普联军进入了北面的山岭。 The so huge army has front Brindisi not to go, instead drills into the mountain ridge?! Some Davos doubts. But slightly makes the ponder in Umakas, looks with astonishment. 如此庞大的军队有前方的布林迪西不去,反而钻入山岭？！戴弗斯有些疑惑。而在身旁的攸马卡斯略作沉思,面露惊愕。 „They could walk secure Rohnn hill!” Diaomilas anxious saying that hears the news to catch up with. “他们可能要走安勒恩丘陵！”闻讯赶来的戴奥米拉斯紧张的说道。 Listens to his two people to tell, Davos knows: It is not thorn covered, trees grows thickly in this coast corridors, the rugged difficult to walk mountain ridge, but has a rough terrain in the mountain ridges, the road is not not difficult to walk, can through it, arrive at the Taranto east. In the early time, Messapians often jumps out from there makes a harassing attack the Taranto person, the Taranto person gradually was afterward powerful, constructed the defense camp and sentry post building near the hill exit|to speak, strengthened the detection, causes because of passing through the hill, but exhausted Messapians was repelled by the Taranto person of waiting at ease for an exhausted enemy frequently. Arrived afterward, Messapians was affected by Greeks again, gradually civilises, not too the custom mountainous region combat, in addition establishment of Manduria, has more convenient attack Taranto base, in these years Messapians has not used secure Rohnn hill to go into the Taranto territory again. 听他两人讲述,戴弗斯才知道:在这一块东西海岸走廊之间并非都是荆棘密布、树木丛生、崎岖难走的山岭,而是在山岭之间有一段丘陵地带,路不不算太难走,可以通过它,到达塔兰图姆的东部。在早期,梅萨皮人常从那里窜出袭扰塔兰图姆人,后来塔兰图姆人逐渐强大,又在丘陵出口附近建了防御营地和哨楼,加强了侦查,使得因穿越丘陵而疲惫的梅萨皮人常常被以逸待劳的塔兰图姆人击退。再到后来,梅萨皮人受希腊人影响,逐渐文明化,已经不太习惯山地作战,再加上曼杜里亚的建立,有了更方便的袭击塔兰图姆的基地,这几十年来梅萨皮人再也没有利用过安勒恩丘陵闯入塔兰图姆领地。 „In other words...... has there defense camp abandoned?!” Davos realizes this point immediately. “也就是说……那里的防御营地已经废弃了？！”戴弗斯立刻意识到这一点。 „......” Umakas is still considering the language, Ornelas had said: „Camp has not abandoned, but after the Archytas army wiped out, Messapi Peuceti the allied armies mount a large-scale attack, outside in most cities the people have hidden to enter a city, the soldiers of camp also removed certainly, therefore Messapians can easily enter our lands, destroys paddies that we will soon harvest, burns down our villages, slaughters people that have not left! We must catch up immediately, prevents them! Repels them!” “呃……”攸马卡斯还在斟酌语言,戴奥尼拉斯已经说道:“营地并没有废弃,只是阿契塔的军队被全歼后,梅萨皮-普切蒂联军大举进攻,大部分城外民众已经躲进城里,营地的士兵当然也撤了回去,因此梅萨皮人可以轻易的进入我们的土地,破坏我们即将收获的田地,焚烧我们的村庄,杀戮尚未离开的民众！我们必须立刻赶上去,阻止他们！击退他们！” The Diaomilas facial expression is excited, the Umakas same face worried, but Davos remains unmoved, he paces back and forth, the brain is pondering fast. 戴奥米拉斯神情激动,攸马卡斯同样一脸担忧,但戴弗斯不为所动,他来回踱步,大脑在快速的思考着。 „You also in hesitant anything! Did not act we unable to catch up!” The Diaomilas loud urging said. “你还在犹豫什么！再不行动我们就追不上了！”戴奥密拉斯大声催促道。 „Why must pursue them!” Davos stops the footsteps, the look serious reminder: „Before do not forget you, how saying that ‚, if the enemy retreats, we attack Brindisi immediately, forcing Messapians has to fight a decisive battle with us.’” “为什么要追他们！”戴弗斯停住脚步,神色严肃的提醒道:“别忘了你之前是怎么说的,‘如果敌人撤退,我们就立刻进攻布林迪西,逼迫梅萨皮人不得不与我们决战。’” Diaomilas is at a loss for words for a while, Umakas is busy at explaining: „Now the situation was different, the Messapi army will break in our Taranto territory, the destruction, this will cause the people scared wantonly, even possibly attacks the Taranto city!” 戴奥密拉斯一时语塞,攸马卡斯忙解释道:“现在情况不同了,梅萨皮的大军将冲入我们塔兰图姆的领地,大肆破坏,这将引起民众恐慌,甚至可能进攻塔兰图姆城！” „Messapi-Peuceti alliance quantity, although are many, the Taranto city easily cannot capture, but Brindisi can actually easily obtain.” Davos refers to the front, sincere saying: „Heavy infantry pursues the infantry, wants to catch up is very difficult. With its passive chase Messapi-Peuceti alliance, was pulled the nose to go around by them, might as well adopt the proactive attack, takes Brindisi. If they have not come, we continue to north attack Alytia! I do not believe that they do not come the decisive battle!” “梅普联军数量虽多,塔兰图姆城可不是轻易能够攻下的,而布林迪西却可以轻易获得。”戴弗斯手指前方,语重心长的说道:“重步兵追步兵,想追上很难。与其被动的追赶梅普联军,被他们牵着鼻子绕圈儿,不如采取主动进攻,拿下布林迪西。如果他们还不来,我们就继续向北进攻伊格拉提亚！我就不信,他们不过来决战！” Umakas is biting the lip, for a while under is hard to decide. Diaomilas as before stubborn shaking the head: „It is not good! The enemies must destroy is not your Theonia land, you do not certainly love dearly! But that is our Taranto land, I am rather later capture Brindisi, must first expel Taranto them.” 攸马卡斯咬着嘴唇,一时难以下决定。戴奥密拉斯依旧固执的摇头:“不行！敌人要破坏的不是你戴奥尼亚的土地,你当然不心疼！可那是我们塔兰图姆的土地,我宁愿晚一些攻取布林迪西,也要先将他们赶出塔兰托姆。” One hear of this saying, Davos was also hot: „This can blame me! Discussion time, you do not mark on the map, does not explain, a damn what secure Rohnn hill can pass the mountain ridge! I do not make you go , because you said that there path is complex . Moreover the terrain is not ripe, if the enemy supposes to ambush there-” 一听这话,戴弗斯也火了:“这难道能怪我吗！商议的时候,你们自己不在地图上标明,也不做说明,还有一个该死的什么安勒恩丘陵可以通过山岭！我不让你去,是因为你们说那里道路复杂,而且地形不熟,万一敌人在那里设下埋伏-” At this point, the Davos brain quickly grasps the meaning of something, holds the inspiration that flashed past: „I understood! I understood! Because of cavalry! You had said before, the Messapi cavalry intercepts the Taranto mounted scout wantonly, causing your cavalries to be lost very much. But this time, we go to battle to the present have not actually suffered the attack of Messapi cavalry, why? The Messapi cavalry all resulted in the plague, died?” 说到这里,戴弗斯脑子一激灵,抓住了那一闪而过的灵感:“我明白了！我明白了！因为骑兵！你们之前说过,梅萨皮骑兵大肆截杀塔兰图姆的侦骑,致使你们的骑兵受到很大损失。可是这一次,我们出征到现在却没有遭受到梅萨皮骑兵的攻击,为什么？难道梅萨皮骑兵全都得了瘟疫,死了吗？” The Davos self-confident observing the situation people, said with emphasis: „No! Messapians wants us to know that the whereabouts of their army, they want us to follow, because they set certainly the ambush in secure Rohnn hill! Therefore we cannot walk secure Rohnn hill, cannot save the Taranto army to ruin only there!” 戴弗斯自信的环视众人,加重语气说道:“不！梅萨皮人想要我们知道他们军队的去向,他们想要我们跟随,因为他们一定在安勒恩丘陵里设下了埋伏！所以我们不能走安勒恩丘陵,不能将唯一能拯救塔兰图姆的军队葬送在那里！” These words made Umakas change countenance, making Diaomilas silent. 这番话让攸马卡斯动容了,让戴奥密拉斯沉默不语。 „I agree with the opinion of Sir Davos! We attack Brindisi!” Teriphias said loudly. “我同意戴弗斯大人的意见！我们去进攻布林迪西！”特里菲亚斯大声说道。 „I also agreed.” Taudeles also nods to express the support. “我也同意。”图德普列斯也点头表示赞同。 Two army commanders' explicit statements, enabling the proposition of Davos to pass. 两位军队指挥官的明确表态,使得戴弗斯的提议得以通过。 A Diaomilas face unwilling jumps to start. 戴奥密拉斯一脸不甘的纵身上马。 „Sir Diaomilas!” Davos calls loudly: „Please remember Theonia is helps Taranto, rather than accepts the shame! I as Theonia archon , am voted as this going to battle commander-in-chief simultaneously, if appears again does not respect the commander in chief and bad phenomenon of non- command prompt, I looked necessity that the allied armies have not had!” “戴奥密拉斯大人！”戴弗斯高声喊道:“请记住戴奥尼亚是来帮助塔兰图姆,而不是来接受羞辱的！我作为戴奥尼亚的执政官,同时被推选为这次出征的总指挥官,如果再出现不尊重主帅、不服从命令的恶劣现象,我看联军就没有存在的必要了！” The Davos words are loud and clear, the surroundings fall into immediately die the general silence, even Teriphias and Taudeles heart is also startled in the strength of this seemingly temperate young archon . 戴弗斯的话掷地有声,周围顿时陷入死一般的寂静,连特里菲亚斯、图德普列斯也心惊于这位看似温和的年轻执政官的强硬。 Umakas has to cough several, said: „Sir Diaomilas is also because was worried-” 攸马卡斯不得不干咳几声,说道:“戴奥密拉斯大人也是因为担心-” Davos waves to interrupt his words, cold sound said: „Why does the Theonia army often win the undefeated? Because of discipline and obedience! If the armies of more than 30,000 people do not have the unified direction, if the non- command prompt, will certainly be in great confusion! Since if we had known can be the failure, why also to go to battle again!” 戴弗斯挥手打断他的话,冷声说道:“戴奥尼亚军队为什么常胜不败？就是因为纪律和服从！3万多人的军队如果没有统一的指挥,如果不服从命令,必将乱成一团！既然早知道会是失败,又何必再出征！” Under intimidation of Davos, under the gaze of people, a Diaomilas face rises red, under the invisible pressure, he squeezed out a few words finally: „Knew.” 在戴弗斯的威逼下,在众人的注视下,戴奥密拉斯一张脸涨得通红,在无形的压力下,他终于挤出了一句话:“知道了。” ........................ …………………… secure Rohnn hill, Peuceti king Telie Mani and various Messapi city-state archon are waiting , the news pouring that however the scout returns extinguished their enthusiasm. 安勒恩丘陵,普切蒂王特列摩尼与梅萨皮各城邦执政官们正翘首以盼,然而探子回报的消息浇灭了他们的热情。 „What did you say?! Greeks not toward here, but continues to east...... Brindisi, their goals are Brindisi!” Terry Mani calls out in alarm, he cares about that coastal city compared with Messapians, because to Messapi each archon , Brindisi is an allied country, but to arranges in order Mani especially, that is part of territories that he obtains newly, is the source of his wealth. “你说什么？！希腊人没有朝这边来,而是继续向东……布林迪西,他们的目标是布林迪西！”特里摩尼惊叫起来,他比梅萨皮人更在乎那座海滨城市,因为对梅萨皮的各个执政官而言,布林迪西不过是一个盟邦,而对特列摩尼来说,那是他新获得的一部分领地,是他财富的来源。 „No rush, Peuceti king.” Rudiae archon Pashi Luse persuaded: „Our cavalries had informed Brindisi yesterday, believes before Greeks arrives there, the residents had temporarily left, even if Greeks enters a city unable to obtain anything, if they dare to move Brindisi again, we did not mind when recaptures it again obtains a group of Greek slaves! I thought that we should wait, making the cavalries burning down in the Taranto territory again the fire of village made is more prosperous! After I do not believe the Taranto person learns of this news, continuation that but can also disregard toward east!” “别急,普切蒂王。”乌迪埃执政官帕希麦鲁斯劝说道:“我们的骑兵昨天就已经去通知布林迪西,相信在希腊人到达那里前,居民们已经暂时离开了,就算希腊人进了城也得不到什么,如果他们敢再迁居布林迪西,我们不介意再夺回它时又获得一批希腊奴隶！我觉得我们应该再等一等,让骑兵们把焚烧塔兰图姆领地上村庄的火弄得更旺些！我不信塔兰图姆人得知这个消息后,还能不管不顾的继续往东去！” The Pashi Luse's words Gentes arranges in order Mani to calm down, he thinks, wicked saying: „Kills in Greeks that Brindisi captures, throws the corpse on this road, having a look at Greeks to have anything to respond!” 帕希麦鲁斯的话让特列摩尼冷静下来,他想了想,恶狠狠的说道:“杀一些在布林迪西抓获的希腊人,将尸体扔在这路上,看看希腊人有什么反应！” ........................ …………………… „Report!...... That side secure Rohnn hill raises more than ten thick smokes, the entire sky was blackened by smoke, all the way the body of many Taranto people, women and children......” “报！……安勒恩丘陵那边升起十多处浓烟,整个天空都被熏黑,一路上还有不少塔兰图姆民众的尸体,其中还有妇女和儿童……” „Do I only need you to monitor the trend of enemy, the observation enemy have from the hill come out!” Davos interrupts the words of mounted scout stiffly: „Goes back to tell your team leader, sends a Theonia cavalry to come back to report the situation next time!” “我只需要你们监视敌人的动向,观察敌人有没有从丘陵里出来！”戴弗斯生硬的打断侦骑的话:“回去告诉你们的队长,下一次派一个戴奥尼亚骑兵回来汇报情况！” The Taranto mounted scout angrily hit the horse to walk. 塔兰图姆侦骑气冲冲的打马走了。 Davos only looked at side silent Umakas, reminded one again: „Messapians is tempting us to go to secure Rohnn hill, we cannot go!” 戴弗斯只看了看身边沉默不语的攸马卡斯,再次提醒一句:“梅萨皮人在引诱我们去安勒恩丘陵,我们不能去！” Umakas is frowning, silent. 攸马卡斯皱着眉头,沉默不语。 Davos no longer said, he turns around, told transmitting orders officer Tolmides low voice: „The team officer of notice front row, picks up the marching speed, earlier far away from the place of that danger.” 戴弗斯不再多说,他转身,小声告诉传令官托尔米德:“通知前列的队官,加快行军速度,早点远离那个危险之地。” The mercenaries who Xanticles leads because contribute to the meritorious military service repeatedly, has transferred completely prepares the citizen. Chief of Military Philesius enrolled vacancy first and second regiments them completely, Xanticles held the post of the first regiment's sixth brigade to act the duty of fifth regimental commander. Prepares the citizen regarding one, this duty was high, but the team officers and high-ranking military officers in army mostly were the past Persia expeditionary force members, they instead thought that the Xanticles duty lowered, after all initially he was one of the five leaders. Once he becomes the official citizen, perhaps the duty will be promoted rapidly. 赞提帕里斯率领的雇佣军因为屡立战功,已经全部转为预备公民。军务官斐利修斯将他们全部编入了缺额的第一、二军团,赞提帕里斯担任第一军团第六大队代理第五联队长之职。对于一个预备公民而言,这个职务偏高了,但军中的队官和将官大多是当年波斯远征军成员,他们反而觉得赞提帕里斯的职务低了,毕竟当初他可是五位首领之一。所以一旦他成为正式公民,职务恐怕会得到迅速提升。 But before Tolmides , in the mercenaries had „the first transmitting orders officer” reputation, he can deal with the relations with all parties, transmitted leaders' order promptly accurately, and can make the stubborn team officers also accept and carry out, was deep the faith of leaders. 而托尔米德以前在雇佣军中就有“第一传令官”的美誉,他能处理好与各方的关系,及时准确的传达首领们的命令,并能让再顽固的队官也接受和执行,深得首领们的信赖。
