Davos originally not at this moment plan with Bruttii alliance battle, will therefore choose in this place pitches camp. Meanwhile, he thinks after the Bruttii alliance experienced the day before yesterday attacking a city failure . Will be more discrete, abandons benefits, marches the possibility that several ten miles of road comes to challenge is not big, actually without thinking of the enemy also really came. Since came, then on war! 戴弗斯原本并没有在此刻与布鲁提联盟会战的打算,所以才会选择在此地扎营。同时,他认为布鲁提联盟经历了前日的攻城失败后。会更加谨慎些,抛弃地利,行军几十里路前来挑战的可能性并不大,却没想到敌人还真的就来了。既然来了,那就战吧！ The both sides military is equivalent, although in the Theonia army has half of soldiers possibly because of building the camp, but is somewhat weary, but this is not the reason of refusing battle. The enemies turn out in full strength, Davos is wishing for earnestly, he stands up suddenly, asks: „Camp builds how?” 双方兵力相当,虽然戴奥尼亚军队中有一半士兵可能因为修筑营地而有些疲劳,但这不是避战的理由。敌人倾巢而出,戴弗斯正求之不得,他猛然站起身,问道:“营地修筑的怎么样了？” „Trench has dug, is building the earthen rampart.” Tolmides replied, the spin also asked: „Needs to make the soldiers fall back on behind the trench?” “壕沟已经挖好,正在修筑土垒。”托尔米德回答,旋又问道:“需要让士兵们退到壕沟后面吗？” Davos beckons with the hand , indicating the rejection. The Theonia regiment is always primarily attacking, although the trench can increase the attack difficulty of enemy, but also limited the attack ability of one's own side, making the morale of soldiers not can be brought into full play, the non- peculiar circumstance he will not do that. 戴弗斯摆摆手,表示拒绝。戴奥尼亚军团一向都是以进攻为主,壕沟虽然能增加敌人的进攻难度,但也限制了己方的进攻能力,让士兵们的士气得不到充分发挥,非特殊情况他不会这么做。 „Sounds the set bugle, then Kapus and Drakos two legatus, Cavalry Brigade long Ledes called...... to be right, called Epiphanes and Cid.” Davos issues the order. “吹响集合军号,然后把卡普斯、德拉科斯两位军团长,还有骑兵大队长莱德斯叫来……对了,还有把埃皮忒尼斯、茨皮特也叫来。”戴弗斯下达命令。 „Yes.” Tolmides hurried to transmit orders rapidly. “是。”托尔米德迅速赶去传令。 „Can we and Bruttians engage in a decisive battle in this?” Teriphias is somewhat anxious. “我们要在此和布鲁提人进行会战？”特里菲亚斯有些紧张。 „Yes, it seems like must be ahead of time with the day that the Bruttii war ended!” Davos self-confident saying with a smile, Teriphias was infected by his smile, relaxed, good a Greek military salute: „Then please allow me first to call my soldier.” “是的,看来与布鲁提的战争结束的日子要提前了！”戴弗斯自信的笑道,特里菲亚斯被他的笑容感染,放松了下来,行了一个希腊军礼:“那么请允许我先去召集我的士兵。” ................................. …………………………… Yasutomo led the army to come, to cross a steep slope toward that special river, downward was a stretch of broad smooth lawn. On the lawn, innumerable Greeks are gathering, formation, from the high place looked that looks like pulls out, a chaotic scene that Mayidui of nest resembled, lets some of his unavoidably contempt. 皮安伦带领大军朝着普那特河而来,翻过一个高坡,向下就是一片宽阔平坦的草地。在草地上,无数希腊人正在集合、列阵,从高处看就像是被掏了窝的蚂蚁堆似的、一片乱糟糟的景象,让他不免有些轻视。 „Stops going forward, prepares formation!” He issues the order immediately. “停止前进,准备列阵！”他立即下达命令。 Although the Greeks formation did not have an embryonic form, he stands on the steep slope overlooks, there is an approximate impression: Right Theonian is that special river and Crati river intersection point, toward the left side is the even lawns of nothing terrain obstruction, the rear area was dug at sixes and sevens earth pit by them. 虽然希腊人的阵型还没有一个雏形,他站在高坡上俯瞰,也有了一个大致的印象:戴奥尼亚人右侧就是普那特河与克拉蒂河的交汇处,一直往左侧都是没有任何地形障碍的平草地,后方是被他们挖得乱七八糟的土坑。 After he looked at one, had at heart decided: Because one side of wading difficulty by river, the attack and room for manoeuvre are little, he will recruit 5000 tribe soldiers who come to place left flank from various tribes forcefully ; center is more than 5000 soldiers in Anbari and Vergae city ; right flank is the Cosenza 12,000 soldiers. 他看了一阵之后,心里有了决定:由于靠河一侧步涉困难,进攻和回旋余地小,他将从各部落强行征召而来的5000名部落战士放在左翼;中路是安巴利亚和维格城的5000多战士;右翼则是科森扎的一万两千名战士。 Obviously, he wants most, the battle efficiency strongest Cosenza soldier to ensure the victory with his in right flank. 显然,他是想用他人数最多、战斗力最强的科森扎战士在右翼奠定胜局。 What Yasutomo thought: Organizes the confusion while the enemy, hurries to arrange in order the battle formation attack! 皮安伦原本想的是:趁敌人组织混乱,赶紧列好阵势进攻！ However the armies of more than 20,000 people, from different tribes, if wants in a short time to arrange the formation, what need is a complete command system and long-term military training and has the disciplined soldier, these Bruttians cannot meet the requirements, therefore entire army, in the bugle blew, the army drum sound and men shouting and horses neighing, you to push me to resist, under the noisy side chaotic situation to start the slow expansion formation. 但是两万多人的部队,又是来自不同的部落,要想在很短时间内排好阵型,需要的是一个完整的指挥体系、长期的军事训练和非常有纪律性的士兵,这几点布鲁提人都达不到要求,所以整个军队在号角吹、军鼓响、人喊马嘶、你推我攘、吵吵闹闹的极混乱状态下开始了缓慢的展开阵型。 Yasutomo quite had the leisure is observing the trend of enemy, while waits for formation to complete. But after a while, his complexion some are unattractive. 皮安伦原本颇有闲情的一边观察着敌人的动向,一边等待己方列阵完成。但过了一会儿,他的脸色有些不好看了。 Because also chaotic Theonian formed „dice” a moment ago quickly, then this innumerable dice like building building block movement that rapid actually does not disturb each other to fixed position. Quick, the Theonia formation began to take shape. 因为刚才还乱糟糟的戴奥尼亚人很快形成一个个“小方块”,然后这无数的小方块就像搭积木似的迅速却又互不干扰的移动到固定的位置上。很快,戴奥尼亚的阵型就初具规模了。 That is a seed shell Yasutomo has never seen the formation, „dice” between is not close, instead many crevices. From top to bottom look, looks like the wool blankets of green white interactions( because flax breastplate is white). Although, how Yasutomo does not know like this strange might, but the Theonian formation speed made him feel anxious. 那是一种皮安伦从未见过的阵型,“小方块”之间并不紧密,反而有不少空隙。从上往下看,就像是一块块绿白相间的羊毛毯子(因为亚麻胸甲是白色的)。虽然,皮安伦不知道这样的怪阵威力如何,但戴奥尼亚人的列阵速度还是让他感到了不安。 He said to Petta loudly: „Urges Ka, making them act to be quicker!” 他大声对身旁的佩塔鲁说道:“去催催伯迦姆,让他们动作快一些！” .............................. ………………………… The confusion of Theonia array Yasutomo sees at first, the first regiment soldiers hurriedly crawls from the bustling camps, mutually the time of dressing mail-armor and helmet and return team. But now the formation launches initially, the Davos slightly nervousness also stabilizes. 皮安伦最初看到的戴奥尼亚阵列的混乱,正是第一军团士兵急匆匆的从热火朝天的营地里爬出来,相互穿戴甲胄、回归本队的时刻。而现在阵型初步展开,戴弗斯略显紧张的心情也安定下来。 „Commander Sir, our right flank in the formation, have not launched!” Tolmides anxious catches up to report. “指挥官大人,我们的右翼还在编队,还没有展开！”托尔米德焦急的赶来汇报。 „No rush, right flank has the allied armies, the regiment reserve forces, the origin of soldier is most promiscuous.” Davos rides in immediately, looks to left side: The autumn end, has not rained for ten or more days, the land is dry, the migrations of over ten thousand soldiers have stirred dust everywhere, where can also see right flank a wee bit situations. “别着急,右翼有盟军,还有军团预备队,士兵的来源最为混杂。”戴弗斯骑在马上,向左侧望去:秋末,一连十几天都未下雨,土地干燥,上万士兵的移动早就搅得尘土漫天,哪里还看得见右翼的一丁点情况。 Davos facial expression quite leisurely and carefree saying: „Going formation that Teriphias has not worried, but first reorganizes the army, instead makes me feel that felt relieved.” 戴弗斯神情颇悠闲的说道:“特里菲亚斯没有着急的去列阵,而是先整编部队,反而让我感到放心。” His hand direction front: „You looked that Bruttians has not moved on the grassy slope, it is estimated that also in formation, happen to gave us the time, making the soldiers of first regiment rest, recovers an energy.” 他的手指向前方:“你看布鲁提人在草坡上也没有移动,估计也在列阵,正好给了我们时间,让第一军团的士兵们歇息一下,恢复一点体力。” Tolmides fixes the eyes on to look: Front 500 meters away is also the dust and fog fills the air...... 托尔米德定睛望去:500米外的前方同样是尘雾弥漫…… „Informs Ledes.” Davos ordered again: „Makes him send out 78 cavalry divisions to go to harass the left , middle and right three groups of enemy, delays their set up formation speeds, simultaneously observes their dealing situations, comes back to report to me.” “去通知莱德斯。”戴弗斯再次下令:“让他派出七八支骑兵分队前去骚扰敌人的左、中、右三路,延缓他们的布阵速度,同时观察他们的应对情况,回来向我汇报。” „Yes.” “是。” „Waits for. You told Ledes, what I said was the harassment, did not spell hardly. If the cavalry of enemy pursues, immediately returns, do not make the cavalry be damaged!” Davos urged over and over. “等一下。你告诉莱德斯,我说的是骚扰,不是硬拼。如果敌人的骑兵追来,立即退回,不要让骑兵受损！”戴弗斯再三叮嘱。 „Understood, Sir.” “明白,大人。” ................................. …………………………… „Boys, with tight!” “小子们,跟紧啦！” „Uncle, we do not ride a horse also run are quicker than you.” “大叔,我们不骑马也跑得比你快。” „Brat, you hid itchy, went back to have your attractiveness.” “臭小子,你皮子痒了是吧,回去有你的好看。” „Team leader, you this/should have done that!” “队长,你早就该这么做了！” The cavalry division that Suolikesi leads had crossed the entire battlefield in laughter, arrives at that special riverside. 索里科斯率领的骑兵分队在一阵笑声中已经横穿了整个战场,到达普那特河边。 „Stops!” Suolikesi horizontal lance, the entire division stopped the advance. “停下！”索里科斯横置长矛,整个分队停止了前进。 „Dismounts!” “都下马！” „Why, Team leader?! Before we have not arrived at enemy !” The cavalries shouted. “为什么,队长？！我们还没到敌人的阵前！”骑兵们叫嚷起来。 „Command prompt!” Suolikesi exclaimed loudly. “服从命令！”索里科斯大声吼道。 Although the cavalries do not prefer, but was affected by the military discipline, has to comply, shouting that the mouth actually refuses to accept: „Team leader, has other division to the enemy javelin throw, you can make us be the military deserter?!” 骑兵们虽然不情愿,但受军规影响,不得不照做,嘴里却不服的喊道:“队长,别的分队都已经向敌人投掷标枪了,难道你要让我们当逃兵？！” „Shut up! Our division is ordered to harass most left flank of enemy, the distance of running is longest, the horse somewhat was also tired, lets their rest a while, so that better completion duty! I lead you to come out, wants smoothly leads you to go back!” “闭嘴！我们分队受命骚扰敌人的最左翼,奔跑的距离是最长的,马也有些累了,让它们歇息一会儿,以便更好的完成任务！我带你们出来,就要顺利的带你们回去！” „Good, Team leader, we listen your. How long but can wait for?!” “好吧,队长,我们听你的。可是要等多久？！” „I ordered.” “等我命令。” The cavalries have to pat the warhorse of moving restlessly, at the same time is observing the front dusky battlefield, looks that distant place own teammates break in the dust and fog from time to time, from time to time the vertical horse withdraws...... calls out in alarm and scream to pass to the ear, lets their hearts itchy. 骑兵们只好轻拍着躁动的战马,一边观察着前方灰蒙蒙的战场,看着远处自己的队友们时而冲入尘雾中,时而又纵马撤出……惊叫声、惨叫声传到耳里,让他们心痒不已。 The time passes really slowly, when their some do not bear, „starts!” Suolikesi shout meets the timely rain to be the same like the prolonged drought, making their spirit inspire greatly. 时间过得真慢,就在他们有些不耐的时候,“上马！”索里科斯的喊声就如同久旱逢甘霖一样,让他们精神大振。 50 warhorses start to walk four hooves, starts slightly to run, gradually forms wedge in the advance. 50匹战马迈开四蹄,开始小跑,在前进中逐渐形成楔型。 Suolikesi in the frontline, he lifts up high the lance to brandish forward two: „Acceleration!” 索里科斯在最前方,他高举长矛向前挥舞两下:“加速！” The front is 30 meters high grassy slope, although is not steep, when must prevent the cavalry uphill speed to reduce speed, but was attacked by the enemy. 前方是30米高的草坡,虽然不陡,也要防止骑兵上坡时速度减慢,而遭到敌人攻击。 The warhorse four hooves flutter, the cavalries enclasp horse Bo, the body leans forward, to speed up warhorse uphill speed. 战马四蹄翻飞,骑兵们抱紧马脖,身体前倾,以加快战马上坡的速度。 Suolikesi first jumps onto the grassy slope, beyond dozens meters is dense and numerous Bruttians has extended from that special river bank outward, does not know that its far, one row and two rows and three rows...... in a hurry also very difficult number to be thick clear their phalanx. 索里科斯第一个跃上草坡,几十米外就是密密麻麻的布鲁提人从普那特河岸边一直向外延伸,不知其有多远,一列、两列、三列……仓促间也很难数清他们的方阵有多厚。 Suolikesi felt oneself stand before enemy, stands like an ant in front of the elephant resembles, the invisible tremendous pressure piles up in the chest, making him feel that has not somewhat gasped for breath. He deeply inspires, extracts a short javelin, the both legs clamps the barrel, the warhorse accelerates again. 索里科斯感觉自己站在敌人阵前,就像一只蚂蚁站在大象面前似的,无形的巨大压力积压在胸口,让他感到有些喘不过气来。他深吸了口气,抽出一支短标枪,双腿一夹马腹,战马再次加速。 The cavalries follow. 骑兵们紧随其后。 The horse's hoof that 50 meters, 40 meters, 30 meters...... raise falls on the split soil, as if the drumstick strikes the beating a drum scope, sends out „dá! Dá!” Sound, in addition cavalry division's fast to/clashes, build ups a big momentum unexpectedly, caused just held a good Bruttii array intermittent unrest. 50米,40米,30米……扬起的马蹄落在干裂的泥土上,仿佛鼓槌击打着鼓面,发出“的哒！的哒！”的响声,加上骑兵分队快速的前冲,竟然造成不小的声势,引起了刚刚摆好的布鲁提阵列一阵阵骚乱。 In the Bruttii soldier pushes mutually resists and calls out in alarm, Suolikesi projected in the hand the javelin, later dozens javelins follow to dig in the enemy ranks, scream resound one after another. 就在布鲁提战士相互推攘、惊呼之时,索里科斯投出了手中标枪,随后几十支标枪跟着扎入敌阵,惨叫声相继响起。 Bruttians was more chaotic, some startled withdrawing, some angry to/clashes...... 布鲁提人更乱了,有的惊慌的向后撤,有的愤怒的冲上来…… Suolikesi lance wields toward left, brings the cavalry division in distance enemy ranks more than 20 meters place rapid turn left, runs quickly along the Bruttii array front forward. But everywhere one visit pounds the tranquil water surface like the stone, the ripples that exudes are actually not a short time can subside, simultaneously enemy startled and chaotic 11 map in Suolikesi eyes, his aware duty has achieved, ordered decisively: „Transfers left!” 索里科斯的长矛向左一挥,带着骑兵分队在距离敌阵20多米处迅速的左转,沿着布鲁提阵列前沿向前奔驰。而所到之处就像石头砸进平静的水面,泛起的涟漪却不是一时半会能够平息的,同时敌人的惊慌、混乱都一一映入索里科斯的眼中,他自觉任务已经达成,果断下令:“转左！” The cavalries just turned around to return, the Bruttii cavalry rushes, a chase. 骑兵们刚一掉头回返,布鲁提骑兵才赶到,一番追逐。 The Theonia light infantry catches up to aid promptly, was startled to draw back several hundred Bruttii cavalries with the javelin. 戴奥尼亚轻步兵及时赶来接应,用标枪惊退了几百名布鲁提骑兵。 Davos uses the cavalry ingeniously „firepower reconnaissance” causes that opposite Bruttii array various sections react, through the report of Ledes, making his formation to Bruttii have the approximate understanding. Performance that from dealing with the cavalry harasses, Bruttii left flank is worst, but what is strongest is right flank, making the Theonia cavalry pay more than ten to ride the casualty price. Obviously, the idea of Bruttians is consistent with Davos, weakest army arrangement by river one side, but the strongest army will place the flank, after all this conforms to the military tactics principle. 戴弗斯巧妙的利用骑兵的“火力侦察”使对面布鲁提阵列各部作出的反应,通过莱德斯的汇报,让他对布鲁提的列阵有了大致的了解。从应对骑兵骚扰的表现来看,布鲁提左翼是最差的,而最强的是右翼,让戴奥尼亚的骑兵付出了十几骑死伤的代价。显然,布鲁提人的想法与戴弗斯是一致的,都是将最弱的部队安排在靠河一侧,而将最强的部队放在了外侧,毕竟这是符合兵法原则的。
