Bagul is listening to the younger sister son-in-law's words, the facial expression gradually becomes firm, he said loudly: „Right that you said that I am Lucanians, but I am also the Theonia citizen, we cannot let off this good opportunity of unifying Lucania!” 巴古勒听着自己妹婿的话,神情逐渐变得坚定,他大声说道:“你说的对,我是卢卡尼亚人,但我也是戴奥尼亚公民,我们不能放过这一个统一卢卡尼亚的好机会！” „Big brother, now has an issue.” Asistes saw the Bagul thought to understand, immediately asks: „The strength growth of Pyxous is too rapid. You looked, we do need to reinforce Sima their tribe?” “大哥,现在有一个问题。”亚西斯特斯见巴古勒念头通达了,立刻问道:“皮科西斯的实力增长太快。你看,我们需不需要增援克西马他们的部落？” „Our anything does not do, that sly Cincinnag will deeply believe that we had been bogged down in difficulties.” After Bagul relieves is puzzled, the wholeheartedly has put into the forthcoming the fight, as the actual command of third regiment Grumentum, his decisiveness and strength in meditation shows: „Moreover the south these tribes obtain our notices beforehand, has the protection, now all are ready, only waited for legatus Hieronymus and Litom they commands troops to arrive, believes that Litom has eagerly been hoping with one won to scrub him the shame at the isthmus competition receiving!” “我们什么都不做,那个狡猾的辛辛纳格才会深信我们已经陷入了困境。”巴古勒释去困惑后,已然全身心投入即将开始的这场战斗,作为第三军团格鲁门图姆的实际统帅,他的果断和定力就展现出来:“而且南面的这些部落事先已经得到我们的通知,早就有了防备,现在一切准备就绪,只等军团长希罗尼穆斯和利扎鲁他们率兵到来了,相信利扎鲁已经急切盼望着用一场大胜来洗刷他在地峡赛会上所受到的耻辱！” Asistes is also hoping although the fight will soon arrive, but he as the Bagul assistant, obtains the commission of Davos ‚to assist the good Bagul organization to complete the battle plan of Grumentum’, therefore considered that the issue has more careful, with the aim of helping straightforward Bagul plug up the leaks: „Potentia also has no sound, what issue will have?” 亚西斯特斯尽管也盼望着战斗早日到来,但他作为巴古勒的助手,得到戴弗斯的嘱托‘要协助好巴古勒组织完成格鲁门图姆的战斗计划’,因此考虑问题不得不更细致一些,以便帮助粗豪的巴古勒查漏补缺:“波腾提亚还没有任何动静,是不是会有什么问题？” „Relax, the Potentia person had been scared by the previous failure, they must defend Samnites, cannot withstand the big loss. Moreover, as far as I know, their big leader Puac is a very steady person, perhaps waits for him wants to act the time, we have launched the attack under the Pyxous city!” Bagul self-confident saying with a smile. “放心吧,波腾提亚人已经被上次的失败吓坏了,他们要防御萨莫奈人,经不起大的损失。而且,据我所知,他们的大首领普阿摩特是个非常稳重的人,恐怕等他想要行动的时候,我们已经在皮科西斯城下展开进攻了！”巴古勒自信的笑道。 .............................. ………………………… Kuru's distressed returning Cosenza, Yasutomo is startled, after listening to Kuru told its bitter experience, he was startled and regretted: The Theonian fort constructs the good news to make him shock quickly, but in knowing perfectly well Signa was attacked and occupied by Theonian, but also sends the dusk that Signa soldier attacks truly is he desperate under makes to incur, in the Bruttii soldier under the scarce predicament, more than 2000 crack troops was disintegrated like this, is really makes him distressed! 尼库鲁狼狈的逃回科森扎,皮安伦大吃一惊,在听完尼库鲁讲述其遭遇之后,他又是吃惊、又是后悔:戴奥尼亚人的要塞这么快就建好的消息让他震惊,而在明知比西尼亚被戴奥尼亚人攻占,还派比西尼亚战士去进攻确实是他情急之下作出的昏招,在布鲁提战士本就紧缺的窘况下,两千多名精兵就这样被瓦解,实在是令他痛心！ Although Kuru promised him: When battle he to the frontline propaganda, these compared with a native of Signa the treachery, will not have no interest in accept a challenge even immediately. 尽管尼库鲁向他保证:只要交战时他到阵前喊话,这些比西尼亚人就算不会立刻倒戈,也会无心应战。 Yasutomo does not plan entirely to believe Signa who his words, this short temper, only the knowledge acts recklessly is big leader unable to buy the hearts of the people, rebelling of Signa soldier also has much to do with him. 皮安伦不打算完全相信他的话,这个脾气暴躁、只知蛮干的比西尼亚大首领根本就不太会笼络人心,比西尼亚战士的反叛跟他也有很大关系。 Yasutomo can only press down the anxious mood at this time, other strict order tribes send the soldier as far as possible, while waits for the army arrival that Petta leads. 皮安伦此时只能按下焦虑的心情,一边严令其他部落尽可能多派战士,一边等待佩塔鲁所率的军队到来。 By dusk, not only Petta commands the army to rush, Ampani big leader Ka also commands the army to catch up to meet, Yasutomo in the heart decides slightly. 到了黄昏,不但佩塔鲁率军赶到,安巴尼亚的大首领伯迦姆也率军赶来会合,皮安伦才心中稍定。 Next morning, 11000 Cosenza soldier and 2500 Anbari who soldiers as well as 5000 other race soldiers Yasutomo, Petta Shangdong and Ka, Kuru lead, altogether about 20,000 people, 2000 slaves, march forward to east together. 第二天一早,皮安伦、佩塔鲁、伯迦姆、尼库鲁率领的11000名科森扎战士、2500名安巴利亚战士以及5000名其他种族战士,共近2万人,还有两千名奴隶,一起向东行进。 ................................. …………………………… „Big leader, is not good! The enemies must start to attack a city!” Hears report, Pan Gailu is not quite anxious, after Kuru, Ka lead troops to leave continuously, for two days, Theonian has not appeared, making him start to believe words that Ka spoke: Kerner Petija is not the attack key point of Theonian! “大首领,不好啦！敌人要开始攻城了！”听到手下的汇报,潘盖鲁倒不太紧张,在尼库鲁、伯迦姆连续带兵离开后,一连两天,戴奥尼亚人都没有出现,让他开始相信伯迦姆所说的话:克纳佩提亚不是戴奥尼亚人的进攻重点！ „Flusters anything! Before Theonian also had to attack, was not repelled by us with ease! Relax, by the reliability of Kerner Petija city wall, Theonian does not have the means with us!” Pan Gailu inflates to oneself subordinate. “慌什么！之前戴奥尼亚人又不是没有进攻过,不都被我们轻松击退了吗！放心吧,以克纳佩提亚城墙的牢固,戴奥尼亚人拿我们没有办法！”潘盖鲁给自己的手下打气。 „But, Theonian this time attacks a city somewhat differently, they are excavating earth......” “可是,戴奥尼亚人这次攻城有些不一样,他们在挖土……” „Excavates earth?” “挖土？” When Pan Gailu rushes to the city wall, the soldier of Theonia fourth regiment the pitch hundred meters away the city wall has spread out with the stone, made a length approximately 20 meters smooth ground. 等潘盖鲁赶到城墙上时,戴奥尼亚第四军团的士兵已经将城墙百米外的斜坡用土石铺上,制造了一个长度约20米的平整地面。 Then, Pan Gailu saw, Theonian approximately one person of high wood/blockhead rack to place above...... the Bruttii soldiers guessed curiously that is anything, many people think: This is Greeks to the tool of their Spiritual God sacrificial offering. 然后,潘盖鲁就看到,戴奥尼亚人将一个个约一人高的木头架子摆放在上面……布鲁提战士们都好奇的猜测那是什么东西,不少人认为:这是希腊人向他们的神灵祭祀的工具。 Pan Gailu is looking keenly at the front, looks at the enemy wooden crate strenuous lifting to the wooden frame by, in heart where gradually does not aggravate...... 潘盖鲁紧盯着前方,看着敌人将一个个木箱费力的抬到木架旁边,心中的不安在逐渐加重…… ................................. …………………………… „Prepared? Can launch?” Hielos arrives at this by Davos calls it „crossbow artillery team” front, some anticipations asked that wears the red to withstand/top the crossbow artillery team leader of crown. “准备好了吗？可以发射了吗？”希洛斯来到这支被戴弗斯称之为“弩炮队”的前面,有些期待的问头戴红色顶冠的弩炮队长。 Crossbow artillery team leader's embarrassed reply: „We also need observation and sighting to give the crossbow artillery localization.” 弩炮队长不好意思的回答:“我们还需要观瞄手给弩炮定位。” This observation and sighting is the Institute of Mathematics apprentice who by coming from Davos is constructed holds the post, he is standing in the side front of team leader, after hearing the question of Hielos, moderate turns round saying: „Was OK, but we must first trial send a ball.” 这位观瞄手是由来自戴弗斯所建的数学研究院的学徒担任,他正站在队长的侧前方,听到希洛斯的问话后,语气温和的回身说道:“可以了,不过我们要先试发一弹。” He is pointing at the front city wall, supplements saying: „Although here from city wall about hundred meters, but Kerner Petija city topography is higher, with the crossbow artillery in the same plane, is not good to judge the point of descent, after I need to look at the result of test, then makes the correction.” 他指着前方的城墙,补充说道:“虽然这里距离城墙大约百米,但克纳佩提亚城地势高一些,和弩炮不在同一个平面上,不好判断落点,我需要看完测试的结果后,再做矫正。” The team leader nods to indicate to understand, Hielos somewhat is vacant, he knew oneself are unable like Davos easily can learn various knowledge, becomes integrated with the scholar who these have great learning. He cannot understand, but he knows this observation and sighting, since by Davos in Institute of Mathematics that since he regards as important chooses, the ability surely does not have the issue. 队长点头表示明白,希洛斯则有些茫然,他自知自己无法象戴弗斯那样轻易的就能学会各种知识,和那些学识渊博的学者打成一片。他听不懂,但他知道这位观瞄手既然被戴弗斯从他看重的数学研究院中挑选出来,能力肯定没有问题。 „Puts the middle position the supine angle pole, draws the bowstring to the biggest scale division.” Observation and sighting said. “将仰角杆放到中间位置,将弓弦拉到最大刻度。”观瞄手说道。 Immediately, the team leader ordered to all crossbow cannoneers loudly. 立刻,队长大声对所有的弩炮手下令。 The crossbow cannoneers rotate crossbow gun stay end many groups of pulleys immediately, the made of iron check will also start to point at the thick or thin bowstring to draw( this outward is Matic Lees after studying pulley yields certain result, to the improvement of Syracuse crossbow artillery, making cannoneer draw bowstring to reduce effort), as the bowstring will more and more move in the future, will drive to be fixed two wooden crossbow arms one of the on made of iron king post by the torsion spring group also moves backward, not only two crossbow cannoneers will feel somewhat strenuously, will connect the torsion spring group in king post will also make „creak” the sound, the crossbow arm even presented the small curve, the bowstring quilt. drawing to the position of guide rail final scale division, the crossbow cannoneer is busy at catching the revolution axis of pulley. 弩炮手们立即转动弩炮尾端的多组滑轮,铁制勾还开始将手指粗细的弓弦向外拉动(这是马提克里斯在研究滑轮取得一定成果后,对锡拉库扎弩炮的改进,使得炮手拉动弓弦更加省力),随着弓弦越来越往后移动,带动着被扭力弹簧组固定在铁制主梁上的两个木制弩臂的一段也向后移,不但两个弩炮手感到有些吃力,就连连接主梁内的扭力弹簧组也发出“咯吱咯吱”的声音,弩臂甚至呈现出了微小的弯曲,弓弦被拉到导轨最后刻度的位置,弩炮手忙卡住滑轮的转轴。 „Crossbow artillery preparation!” The team leader ordered, therefore the crossbow cannoneers held a double fist size from nearby wooden crate the marbles,( it was by „the Davos cement” mix crushed stone, put to solidify in circular mold, after the polish of slave, therefore contour not only circle and smooth), put in center in it the bowstring knitting net sack. “弩炮准备！”队长下令,于是弩炮手们从旁边的木箱抱出一颗双拳大小的石弹,(它是由“戴弗斯水泥”混合碎石,放于圆形模具中凝固而成,又经过奴隶的打磨,因此外形既圆又光滑),将它放入弓弦正中的编织网袋上。 „Launch!” The team leader orders, the crossbow cannoneers press down the circlip, the spring assembly that two sturdy cattle tendon close lay-up become drives the crossbow arm suddenly snapping back that was pulled to draw, because of the enormous force that the torsion has drives the bowstring, the bowstring to drive trundle of forward the like lightning marbles on the smooth guide rail, then across king post mid-level circular hole. “发射！”队长一声令下,弩炮手们按下卡簧,两股粗壮的牛筋紧密绞合而成的弹簧组带动被牵拉的弩臂猛然回弹,因扭力而产生的巨大力量带动弓弦,弓弦带动石弹在光滑的导轨上闪电般的向前滚动,然后穿过主梁中端的圆形孔洞。 Only listens to „shouting”, under the gaze of Hielos, the marbles flies to shoot, in an instant in in the air turned into a small sunspot. 只听“呼”的一声,在希洛斯的注视下,石弹飞射而出,转眼间在空中就变成了一个小黑点。 But in Pan Gailu field of vision, the in the air small dot actually increases rapidly, in the screams of soldiers, it has leapt the city wall, falls into the city, pounded to put on a families' roof, caused to call out in alarm. 而在潘盖鲁的视野里,空中的小圆点却迅速变大,在战士们的惊呼声中,它飞跃过城墙,落入城内,砸穿了一户人家的屋顶,引起惊呼。 The soldiers were discussing startled that is anything. 战士们惊慌的讨论着那是什么东西。 Pan Gailu complexion is gloomy: This without a doubt is the Theonia attacking a city modern weapon, but why did not use a while ago, after Kuru, Ka they leave, starts to be used to attack a city? Do all these plan beforehand? 潘盖鲁脸色阴沉:这毋庸置疑是戴奥尼亚的攻城新武器,可是为什么前段时间不用,偏偏在尼库鲁、伯迦姆他们离开后,才开始用来攻城？难道这一切都是事先策划好的？ „Elevation angle was high, projects the distance about 300 meters.” Observation and sighting observes the flight trajectory of marbles, made an approximate judgment. He carefully looks in the hand to take by the mathematical research institute acts according to the parabolic relation of new research the plan about the elevation angle, the torsion scale division and firing distance comparative table, then said: „Supine angle pole proceeds to put a standard, the bowstring still draws to a big way, is putting a ball.” “仰角高了,射出距离大约300米。”观瞄手观察完石弹的飞行轨迹,做出了一个大致的判断。他仔细看了看手中拿着的由数学研究所根据新研究的抛物线方程而绘制的关于仰角、扭力刻度与射程的对照表,然后说道:“仰角杆往前放一格,弓弦依然拉到最大,在放一弹。” The team leader issues the order, when the crossbow cannoneer is busy, observation and sighting said to Hielos: „According to our research, generally the upside of city wall is quite weak, our crossbow artillery must strongly shell the region of this city wall as far as possible......” 队长下达命令,弩炮手忙碌之际,观瞄手对希洛斯说道:“根据我们的研究,一般城墙的中上段是比较薄弱的,我们的弩炮要尽量集中轰击这段城墙的这个区域……” Hielos earnest listens while nods. 希洛斯认真的边听边点头。 The marbles fly to shoot again, this accurate hit city wall, „bang” a loud sound, the crushed stone scatters, the screams of enemy were separated by hundred meters still clear hearing. 石弹再次飞射而出,这一次准确的击中城墙,“砰”的一声巨响,碎石四溅,敌人的惊呼声相隔百米仍然清晰的听见。 Observation and sighting and team leader satisfy this bombardment position obviously, therefore continues to order: „All crossbow artillery according to the beforehand establishment launch.” 观瞄手和队长显然都满意这次轰击的位置,所以继续下令:“所有弩炮按照之前的设置发射。” Several marbles departed, explodes bunch of blooming Shi Hua in the city wall of enemy. 十几颗石弹先后飞出,在敌人的城墙上炸出一团团绽放的“石花”。 „Continues to launch, do not stop!” The might of Hielos obviously also very satisfied crossbow artillery, but he completely does not rely on this secret weapon, he also has another preparation: „Commands the soldiers to start to construct the causeway!” “继续发射,不要停！”希洛斯显然也很满意弩炮的威力,但他并不完全依赖于这一个秘密的武器,他还有另一手准备:“命令士兵们开始修建堤道！” The messengers must make to go. 传令兵得令而去。 Hielos turns around to follow after behind Siprus saying: „Sir Siprus, hopes that your subordinate can also participate to assist to attack a city.” 希洛斯转身对一直跟在身后的西普洛斯说道:“西普洛斯大人,希望你的手下也能参与协助攻城。” „Does not use such politely, Hielos legatus, please order although!” Siprus courteous saying, his vision does not have the marbles that the deviation in the air howls, thunder to pass to him to shock: Four meters high project tower that in the attacking a city weapon and camp of Theonian invention are stepping up to manufacture, which city-state city wall can resist the attack of Theonian, Greeks, even if loses a battle, so long as hid in the city, to resist the time that the powerful enemy attacked therefore to finish? “不用这么客气,希洛斯军团长,你请尽管下令！”西普洛斯谦恭的说道,他的目光没有偏离空中呼啸的石弹,一声声轰鸣传到他心里全是震撼:戴奥尼亚人发明的这种攻城武器以及营地里正在加紧制作的四米高的工程塔,还有哪座城邦的城墙能够抵挡住戴奥尼亚人的进攻,希腊人就算打了败仗、只要躲进城市里、就能抵挡住强大敌人进攻的时代难道会因此而结束吗？ ................................. …………………………… Center the discussing official business hall in Signa city, third regiment legatus Drakos sits, the left is seven chiefs, the right is Palestinian several Rippey as well as Briem who was convinced by Palestinian several Rippey surrenders, Krey who in a Kuru clan was elected newly( is also takes the lead that young people who leads the Signa four soldiers to drive away Kuru). 在比西尼亚城的议事大厅,第三军团军团长德拉科斯坐正中,左边是七位大队长,右边是巴几里皮以及被巴几里皮说服归降的布里姆,还有原尼库鲁一族中被新推选出来的克雷鲁(也就是带头领导比西尼亚四战士赶走尼库鲁的那个年轻人)。
