“弓箭手,准备!”普尔洛见希腊人进入射程范围,立即下令,几十米的高度差不但延长了弓兵的射程,而且增强了箭矢的杀伤力,同时又使对方的弓兵射程缩短,这一来一去,使梅普联军的远程火力大占优势,这就是居高临下的好处。However in Peucetiansdrawsdirects the arrow, the innumerablesunspotsfrom the mountaincome, poundonequipmentcrudePeucetians, making the bowmenhurtyelled.
但是就在普切蒂人拉弓引箭之时,无数个黑点从山下呼啸而来,砸在装备简陋的普切蒂人身上,让弓手们疼得大叫。Greekshas the stonesoldier! Arranges in orderinManiheartespeciallyonecold.希腊人有投石兵!特列摩尼心中一凛。At this momentwhatmakesDavosbe a pityistworegimenttwolight infantryBrigadesEpiphanesandCid the stonesoldiers of subordinate more than 400people, are also not enoughto suppress the five-mileenemy , can only disruptitsfire the rhythm.
此刻让戴弗斯可惜的是两个军团两个轻步兵大队-埃皮忒尼斯、茨皮特的手下也就约有400多人的投石兵,不足以压制长达五里的敌人,也只能扰乱其射击的节奏。
The arrowarrowstillsuch as the raindropfellgenerally, the soldiersgo against the roundshieldin the top of the head, carefully, leads the wayslowly, the topographical constrainttheyare unable to usetrump card of heavy infantry- charge, can only endure the arrowarrowpeckingto strike the copper sheet of roundshield, sends out„clangclang clang”noise.
箭矢仍然如雨点一般落下,士兵们将圆盾顶在头顶,一步一个脚印,缓缓前行,地形限制了他们无法使出重步兵的杀手锏-冲锋,只能忍受箭矢啄击圆盾的铜皮,发出“铛铛铛”的噪音。Whentheystartto climb a mountain, has the javelinto slam into the roundshield, startsto causesomesoldiers injured.
等到他们开始爬山时,更有标枪猛烈撞击圆盾,开始导致一些士兵受伤。
The injuredsoldierfalls down, rolls upin the same place, protects the bodywith the roundshield, when the rescue of medical team.
受伤的士兵倒在地上,蜷缩在一起,用圆盾护住身体,等到医疗队的救援。Whatin the entirebattlelineis the Alytiaheavy infantry, key point of Theonianattacktheyguard- topographylowestplace.
在整个阵线中部的是伊格拉提亚的重步兵,他们驻守的正是戴奥尼亚人攻击的重点-地势最低的地方。„Quickly! Quickly!......”Amintasurged the soldiers, JuniorMatonis whoheis not willingto lose to the mercenaries, therefore a stipulation of hisanti-Theonian Military Law, running of taking the leadin the mostfront row of brigade, thislet, the somewhatexhaustedsoldierslook likeafterlong distance marchhitchickenbloodcalled, followed.
“快!快!……”阿明塔斯一个劲儿的催促士兵们,他可不愿意输给雇佣军的小辈-马托尼斯,因此他一反戴奥尼亚军法的规定,身先士卒的跑在了大队的最前列,这让经过长途行军、已经有些疲惫的士兵们像打了鸡血似的嗷嗷直叫,紧随其后。
In bravingarrowrain to awayenemy more than 20metersplace, the entirebrigadestopsgoing forwardsuddenly.
在冒着箭雨冲至距敌人20多米处时,整个大队突然停止前进。„Defense!”RaisesGlassto orderloudly, hethinks that the enemymuststartto charge.
“防御!”提摩格拉斯高声下令,他认为敌人要开始冲锋了。Soldiersafterroundshieldstretches outpunctures the spear/gun, formsto makespear/gun that onedreads, evenheregentle slope, only thenseveralmetershigh, butthisaltitudestillmakesGreekspay the heavy pricesufficiently!
士兵们从圆盾后伸出刺枪,形成令人畏惧的枪阵,即使这里的缓坡只有几米高,但这个高度也足以让希腊人付出惨重代价!However, Messapianswait/etc.is not the charge of Greeks, the javelin that butaboutthousandburrscome, in the Messapianspanic-strickenvision, haswhistling the wind sound/rumor, inpowerfuldigging inphalanx, raisespiece of scream.
然而,梅萨皮人等来的不是希腊人的冲锋,而是近千只飞刺而来的标枪,在梅萨皮人惊恐的目光中,带着呼呼风声,有力的扎入方阵内,掀起一片惨叫声。RaisesGlassnot to thinkcompletely the Theoniaheavy infantrycan the javelin throw, unable to attend tounexpectedlysurprisedly, hisbreathlessshouting loudly: „Lifts the shield! Lifts the shielddefense!......”
提摩格拉斯完全没有想到戴奥尼亚的重步兵居然能投掷标枪,顾不得惊讶,他气急败坏的高喊:“举盾!举盾防御!……”Amintasrapid after pulling out the secondjavelin, bellows: „To/Clasheswithme!”Then, the left handholds the shieldandright handto hold a gun, firstcharges into the enemy.阿明塔斯迅速的掏出第二支标枪后,大吼一声:“跟我冲!”说完,左手持盾、右手持枪,第一个冲向敌军。
The soldiersfollow.
士兵们紧随其后。RaisesGlassto discoversurprisedly: GenerallyGreek Hoplitein the charge, the formationwill disperse, butoppositeenemyactually can also maintain the approximateformation, like a thickironwallfastpressure, makinghimhave a suffocatingfeeling.
提摩格拉斯惊奇的发现:一般希腊重步兵在冲锋的时候,队形就会散开,可对面的敌人却还能保持大致的队形,像一堵厚实的铁墙快速的压来,让他有一种窒息的感觉。„Defense! Quickdefense!”Heis somewhat startled, hoarse-voicedshouting.
“防御!快防御!”他有些惊慌,声音嘶哑的喊道。Does to the attack of javelinto make the soldiers from the flurrynot restore, but the Amintasbrigade, stepsseveralmetershighgentle slopein a flash, severalstrides, taking advantage of the momentum, opento grab the left arm of roundshieldto proceed, „dang! After......”continualmetalimpact noise, forces the front rowunexpectedlybecause of the formationconfusion the Messapisoldierunconsciousretreat that butis unable to defendwith joint forcestoalleviateattacks.
奈何标枪的打击让士兵们还没有从慌乱中恢复过来,而阿明塔斯的大队转瞬即至,踏上几米高的缓坡,几个大步,借着冲力,张开抓着圆盾的左臂往前一顶,“咣当!……”连续的金属撞击声之后,竟逼迫前列因阵型混乱而无法合力防御的梅萨皮士兵不自觉的后退以缓解冲击。
After this, retreatingkeeps the crowdedMessapisoldierfromtaking into considerationis trippedby the ally who the javelinstabsto fall to the groundbehind, this but but actually actuallyrow. Ally who yellsstartled, the frontlike the thornspear/gun that the poisonous snakepunctures, theyare thrown into a panicto continueto retrocedefor a while, thusmadeAmintas the mostsoldiers of brigadestandon the slope.
这一后退却让密集的梅萨皮士兵无法顾及身后被标枪刺中倒地的战友而被绊倒,这一倒就倒一排。身后是惊慌叫喊的战友,前方是像毒蛇一样刺来的刺枪,他们一时乱了手脚而继续后退,从而让阿明塔斯的大队的大部分士兵站在了坡上。...........................
………………………As the secondregiment'sseventhbrigadechief, Cidhascharacteristics, whenpre-war, hefirstmakes the praysurely.
作为第二军团第七大队大队长,茨皮特有个特点,每到战前,他必定先做祈祷。Henot onlydoes, but alsocalledto followto dohand/subordinatetogether. Beforeheprayedtowar-godAres, afterDavos, hisgoalchanged into the TheoniaPatronHades, devoutsang the Hadesode, hestood up saying: „Stonesoldiercontinuesto strike at the enemyhere, the archerfollows close onemphaticallybehind the infantry, onceenters the firing distance, toenemyrelease arrow on hillside. Peltastswithmeon!”
他不但自己做,还叫手下跟着一起做。以前他是向战神阿瑞斯祈祷,跟了戴弗斯之后,他的目标换成了戴奥尼亚的保护神-冥王哈迪斯,虔诚的唱完哈迪斯颂歌,他站起身说道:“投石兵在这里继续打击敌人,弓箭手紧跟着重步兵后面,一旦进入射程,就向山坡上的敌人放箭。轻盾兵跟我上!”Peltastsquadron commanderSatiLuseis busy aturging: „Chief, youshouldassume personal commandto direct, the brothersgavemeto leadto attackon the line.”
轻盾兵中队长萨提鲁斯忙劝道:“大队长,你应该坐镇指挥,兄弟们交给我带领进攻就行了。”
The Cideyesstare: „The presentisto prove the good opportunities of ourpeltast, howIcanhideinbehind!”In nearly severalmonths of armyemitssuch a view: The Theoniaregimentintermediate-rangeattackhas the archer and stonesoldier, the firepowerattack of short-rangehas the heavy infantryjavelin throw, the function of peltastbecomesdispensable, might as wellcancelthisbranch of the services, changes into the lightarmor-clad soldier of similarmountain ridgepatrol.茨皮特双眼一瞪:“现在是证明我们轻盾兵的好机会,我怎么能躲在后面!”近几个月军中冒出这样一个看法:戴奥尼亚军团中远程攻击有弓箭手和投石兵,近程的火力攻击有重步兵投掷标枪,轻盾兵的作用变得可有可无,不如取消这一兵种,换成类似山岭侦察队的轻甲兵。EpiphanesandCid that the peltastscomestronglyopposed certainlytothisview, andhas expressedtheirviewpointstoDavos: The peltastscannotbe replaced, itis unreplaceable!
轻盾兵出身的埃皮忒尼斯、茨皮特当然对这种看法强烈反对,并且一直向戴弗斯表达他们的观点:轻盾兵决不能被撤换,它无可替代!Nowisto prove the peltastvaluetime.
现在就是证明轻盾兵自身价值的时候。About500peltastsunder the leadership of EpiphanesandCid, two peopleonepairandthreepeople of onegroup, dispersesacross the heavy infantry„fish scale shapeformation”crevice.
近500名轻盾兵们在埃皮忒尼斯、茨皮特的带领下,两人一对、三人一组,分散穿过重步兵的“鱼鳞状阵型”空隙。
The division that Leotychides is in the battlelinemostfront row, buthe himselfis located in the divisionphalanxfirstrow of middle. On that day, hebeat the allyto be closedquite a whileshuts tightly, originally must be punished by flogging and beatingby the army club, the judge advocateconsiderssoonto make war, thereforepostponedthispunishmentafter the war, andallowedhimto redeem oneself through good works.列奥提齐德斯所在的分队正处于阵线的最前列,而他自己则位于分队方阵第一列的中间。那一天,他殴打战友被关半天紧闭,本来还要被军棍责打,军法官考虑到即将开战,于是将这一处罚推迟到了战后,并允许他戴罪立功。At this time, Leotychideshas startedto climb, althoughhas not worn the helmet, carries more than 40jin (0.5 kg)equipmentweights, climbs upupwardly, both hands must carry the weapon, to stand firm the bodyis not an easymatter. Luckily, at this timeis the early fallweather, warmdry, on the hillside the weedgrows thickly, more than tenhave not rained, the soil textureis soft, making an effortsteps onis a small pit, Leotychides and teammates, slowlyare carefully upward.
此时,列奥提齐德斯已经开始爬坡,虽然没有戴头盔,身负四十多斤的装备重量,向上攀爬,双手还要携带武器,要想稳住身体也并不是件容易的事。幸好,此时已经是初秋天气,温暖干燥,山坡上荒草丛生,已经十几天没有下雨,土质松软,使劲一脚踩下去就是一个小坑,列奥提齐德斯和队友们一步一个脚印,缓缓向上。ButMessapiansis also more violenttotheirattacks, more than 30meterscondescendingjavelinsthrowdirectly, have the strongstrengthhiton the roundshield, manycangripto put on the copper sheet, moreover after the surplusstrengthshitLeotychidesis also forcedsupinely, hewill hurryto puncture the breech of rifleendto go into the soil, will stand firm the body.
而梅萨皮人对他们的攻击也更加猛烈,30多米居高临下的标枪直接投掷,带着强劲的力量撞击在圆盾上,多数都能扎穿铜皮,而且剩余的力量撞得列奥提齐德斯也被迫后仰,他赶紧将刺枪尾端扎进泥土,才稳住身体。InYu Guangzhong of hisfield of visionsaw that somesoldiershave not stoodbecause of the hitsteadily, slips, andbelt/bringbut actuallybehindally. LuckilyTheoniatheunusualattackformationlike the sawtooth, continuouslyis not crowded, thereforedoes not affectentirebattlelineorderedprompting forward.
在他视野的余光中看到一些士兵已经因撞击而站立不稳,滑倒下去,并带倒了身后的战友。幸亏戴奥尼亚的这种奇特的进攻阵型像锯齿一样,并不连续也不密集,因此并不影响整个阵线有序的向前推进。Enters the training of new soldierscampto startfromLeotychides, hehad the interest in the Theoniauniqueformation, hediscovered that thisformationestablishmentis more complex than Greektraditionphalanx, mayrevolveto be effective, but alsoforvarioustypes of terrains, after heanalyzesin private, oncethinks that accept the Spartalaevo rotatorytactic of training more ingenioussince childhood. Afterward, heknows that after isarchon Davosinventedthisuniquelineup, but alsooncehad the overswingto move, wantsto look forDavosto pour out itselfregarding some opinions and views of thisformation, what a pitythisis onlyfantasized, becauseDavosisTheoniahighest authority, hispresentstatus is actually not the Spartacrown prince, butis only a Theoniafreeman, thereforeusually can only distantgazeDavosin the newbarracksin the platform in training groundadmonish.
从列奥提齐德斯进入新兵训练营开始,他就对戴奥尼亚的独特阵型产生了兴趣,他发现这种阵型的设置比希腊传统方阵要复杂,可运转起来却非常有效,还适用于各种地形,他私下分析后曾认为比自己从小接受训练的斯巴达左旋战术更巧妙。后来,他知道是执政官戴弗斯独自一人发明了这种独一无二的阵形后,还曾有过冲动,想找戴弗斯倾诉自己对于这种阵型的一些见解和看法,可惜这只是幻想,因为戴弗斯是戴奥尼亚的最高权力者,他现在的身份却不是斯巴达的王储,而只是戴奥尼亚的一个自由民,所以平时只能在新兵营中远远的注视戴弗斯在训练场的平台上训话。At this time, the Peucetiansjavelinraidsagain.
此时,普切蒂人的标枪再次袭来。Leotychideseliminates the distracting thoughts, crouches/submitsDi the body, grips the steadyheel, whileopens the eye, sees the flight direction of javelin, inclines the roundshieldslightly, the lance point of javelindelimitsoneskewer of sparkson the roundshield, mostmomentumwere actually downloaded, reducedtohisimpact.列奥提齐德斯摒除杂念,一边伏低身体,扎稳脚跟,一边睁大眼睛,看准标枪的飞行方向,将圆盾稍微倾斜,标枪的枪尖在圆盾上划出一串火花,大部分的冲力却被卸掉,减小了对他的冲击。
The Leotychidespinus rigidatone, „aiya”was calledoneon the hearingrightally, the bodyswaysmustin the futurebut actually. Heloosensrapidlypunctures the spear/gun, the lightningfinds out the right handgenerally, heldthatperson of arm.列奥提齐德斯刚松口气,就听见右边的战友“哎呀”叫了一声,身体摇晃着就要往后倒。他迅速松开刺枪,闪电一般探出右手,抓住了那人的胳膊。Thatperson of HetBarrousse, heslightlydoeshesitant, immediatelyshoutsonesincerely: „Thanks, Prosous!”
那人正是海特巴鲁斯,他略作犹豫,立刻真诚的喊了一声:“谢谢,普罗索乌斯!”Leotychidestoward a nod that hemakes an effort. Althoughamongthemhas the contradiction, but the battlefieldis the furnace that tempers the manfriendship.列奥提齐德斯朝他用力的一点头。尽管他俩之间有矛盾,但是战场才是锤炼男人友谊的熔炉。At this time, heraised the headto notice that somepeoplerushed tofront of array.
这时,他抬头看到有人跑到了阵列的前面。Is the peltast! Leotychidesblinks, heunderstandsthisbranch of the services. InPeloponnesian War, Spartahires the Thracepeltastrepeatedly, as the assistance of heavy infantry. Howeverin the operationalsequence of Theoniaregiment, the peltastas an importantstrength, hispositionnon-proportioninfantrywas actually lowered.
是轻盾兵!列奥提齐德斯眨了眨眼,他了解这一兵种。在伯罗奔尼撒战争中,斯巴达多次雇佣色雷斯轻盾兵,作为重步兵的辅助。但是在戴奥尼亚军团的作战序列中,轻盾兵却是被作为一股重要的力量,其地位并不比重步兵低。Sees onlythesepeltastleft handsto holdskinshield, right handto hunt for the bladebladewith the long, wears the frailcotton robe, byskirmishers the enemy on formfastapproachinghill, Peucetiansjavelinalsobytheircleveravoidances.
只见这些轻盾兵左手持皮盾、右手拿长柄猎刃刀,身穿单薄的布袍,以散兵的形式快速的逼近山丘上的敌人,普切蒂人的标枪也多数被他们灵巧的避开。Why can theybe so fastandagile? Whatbecausetheygraspis the lengthcounterbladeblade( is actually scythe), the strangeweapon of thisbladescopeapproximatesemicirclegoes into earth, canrelaxedclimbs upforthemprovides very strongboost.
为什么他们可以如此快速、敏捷?因为他们手持的是长柄逆刃刀(其实就是大镰刀),这种刀刃幅度近似半圆的古怪兵器扎进土里,可以轻松的为他们攀爬提供很强的助力。Cidclose to the enemy, 56lancespuncturedquicklysimultaneouslytohim.茨皮特很快就接近了敌人,五六根长矛同时向他刺来。Cidis very calm, hisbodysquatsfiercelydownward, softskinarmorallowedhimfollowing the gradientalmostto pasteon the ground, the skinshieldprotected the top of the headupwardly, blockslance that punctured.茨皮特十分冷静,他身体猛地往下一蹲,较柔软的皮甲使他可以顺着坡度几乎贴在了地上,皮盾向上护住头顶,挡住刺来的长矛。StandsinsummitPeucetiansdiscoveredthem , to stabalmostpastesis a little difficultin the ground, the anglesolowenemy, because the topographydownwardinclineis too fierce, and when effortis very easy unable to come to a stopto rollto descend the mountain, thereforetheyhave tomoveforward.
站在山顶的普切蒂人发现他们要想刺中几乎贴在地面上、角度如此低的敌人有点困难,因为地势向下倾斜太厉害,并且用力时很容易站不稳而滚下山去,因此他们不得不向前移动。Said that was quicklateat that time, the Cidboth legsmade an effortbackward a tread, the whole personhit, stretched out the counterbladebladeto flutter the foot of Peucetisoldierrapidly, made an efforttonext.
说是迟那时快,茨皮特双腿向后用力一蹬,整个人撞了上去,迅速伸出逆刃刀勾住普切蒂战士的一只脚,用力向下一拉。
