在城内查看敌情的普阿摩特焦急万分,但他不敢派部队出城去阻击,因为波腾提亚城已经被包围,萨莫奈人的兵力远远超过了他事先得到的情报。SouthsomePotentiaterritoriestribesthink that Samniteswas still farfromthem, the carelessgeneral idea/careless, withoutevacuatespromptly, the resultis annihilatedorcaughtbySamnites that tidalwells up, isterrifiedgoing all outretreatstoward the southGrumentumterritory.
有些波腾提亚领地南部的部落以为萨莫奈人距离他们尚远,粗疏大意,没有及时撤离,结果不是被潮水般涌来的萨莫奈人歼灭或者捕获,就是惊恐万状的拼命往更南面的格鲁门图姆领地内撤退。

这些逃亡的波腾提亚部落带来的恐慌气氛自然也传染给了格鲁门图姆领地北面的部落,就在他们也开始吵吵嚷嚷的要向南方撤离时,已经从侦察士兵那里得到消息的阿莱克西斯感到情况紧急,毅然决定:不能再等候元老院的命令了,立刻率领已经全部回归军营的8000多名士兵向北进发。Inregimentreformrecent years, Davosnot onlyscoutershundredpeople of teamsforeachregimentequipment, considered: BattlesinItaly, high mountain ridge, light infantryaftercompletinglong-distanceattack, alreadyarmnumb and aching, but must assist the heavy infantryto attack the enemyflank, the circuitouspursuit, itsphysical exertionis as good as the heavy infantry, but the operationalefficiencyactuallyreduced. Therefore, heandvarioushigh-ranking military officersafterdiscussiondiscussion, increased a lightarmor-clad soldierbrigadetovariousregiments, theywearskinKui, boastingbreastplate, to carrythreecutideshields, to wearskinJingjia, the skinsandals, the operational weaponis1.2metersdoubleoperates the bladethickiron sword, selects the young and middle-agedcitizen who runsandcanclimb a mountaingood, to prepare the citizento be selected inthis/shouldbrigadespecially, toassistheavy infantrymain forcecombat.
在近几年的军团改革中,戴弗斯不但为各个军团配备侦察百人队,同时考虑到:在意大利作战,崇山峻岭,轻步兵在完成远程打击之后,已经手臂酸麻,还要辅助重步兵攻击敌人侧翼,迂回追击,其体力消耗不亚于重步兵,但作战效率却降低了。因此,他与各将官经过商议讨论后,给各军团增加了一个轻甲兵大队,他们佩戴皮盔、牛皮胸甲、携带三角皮盾、穿皮胫甲、皮凉鞋,作战武器为1.2米长的双开刃厚铁剑,专挑善跑、能爬山的青壮年公民、预备公民入选该大队,以辅助重步兵主力作战。Meanwhile, Davosalsoreformed the originallight infantrybrigade. BecauseTheoniaoutstandingstonesoldiermanpower resourcesmainlyfromRhodes( anotherunder behind control that Balearic Islands that is rich instonesoldierinCarthaginians), the scarcity of soldiercauses the regiment that establishesto be very difficultto incurtostoneagain, thereforealsohasbeyondstonesoldierestablishmentbesidesfirstandsecondregiments, otherregimentlight infantrybrigadesarehalf ofarchers, half ofjavelinsoldiers. In addition, the number of outstandingThracepeltast was unable to satisfy the speed that the Theoniaregimentexpands, thereforestartsfrom the fourthregiment, in the light infantrybrigadedid not have the establishment of peltast, itsfunction is mainly assumedby the javelinsoldier and lightarmor-clad soldier, thusmakes the regimentestablishsimplification, more unified.
同时,戴弗斯还改革了原来的轻步兵大队。由于戴奥尼亚优秀的投石兵兵源主要来自罗德岛(另一个盛产投石兵的巴利阿里群岛则在迦太基人的控制之下),兵员的稀少导致后面建立的军团很难再招到投石手,因此除了第一、二军团还有投石兵这一编制外,其他军团轻步兵大队是一半弓箭手,一半标枪兵。此外,优秀的色雷斯轻盾兵的数量已无法满足戴奥尼亚军团扩张的速度,因此从第四军团开始,轻步兵大队中也没有了轻盾兵的编制,它的职能主要由标枪兵和轻甲兵承担,从而使军团编制更加的简化、更加统一。In addition the projectcamp, the instrumentcamp , the cavalrysquad, the medical treatment and nursingcampregimentand otherauxiliary bodies, a presentTheoniaregimentpopulationhas been close to8700people, it can be said that a fully-featuredhugeregiment.
再加上军团中的工程营、器械营、骑兵小队、医护营等其他辅助机构,如今的一个戴奥尼亚军团人数已经接近8700人,可以说是一个功能完备的庞大军团。Alexiuswhilegoing north, sends peopleto informBagulto complete the defensetoGrumentumnorthterritory.阿莱克西斯在北上的同时,也派人通知巴古勒做好对格鲁门图姆北部领地的防御。
The Lucaniaarea is mainly the mountainous region, Potentiaisthislocalhighestregion, averageelevation over 500meters. Is goodbecause of the thirdregimentmostsoldiersisLucanians, since childhoodliveshere, had adapted toherecircumstances.卢卡尼亚地区主要是山地,波腾提亚又是这一地区海拔最高的区域,平均海拔都在500米以上。好在第三军团绝大多数士兵都是卢卡尼亚人,从小生活在这里,早已适应了这里的环境。
The thirdregimentclimbs mountains and crosses riversbythreerows of garrisonsin the lowland and river valley between mountainandmountain, windsto march forwardlike a long lineinhigh mountain ridge, fromteamtoteamtailbe continuous56li (0.5 km)......
第三军团以三列纵队跋涉在山与山之间的低地以及河谷,像一条长龙蜿蜒行进于崇山峻岭之间,从队首到队尾绵延五六里……At this momenton a hill, the HirpinibigleaderLonnie'ssonGuernutis closely watching out the sound under mountain.
此刻在一座小山上,希尔皮尼大首领维朗尼的儿子盖尔尼正密切注视着山下的动静。„Leader, looksquickly!”Nearbysoldiercalled outsuddenly.
“首领,快看!”旁边的战士突然叫道。„Fool, low voice!”Guernutkicked his foot, scolded: „Do not run away in fear the enemy!”
“笨蛋,小声点!”盖尔尼踢了他一脚,骂道:“别把敌人吓跑了!”Sees onlyby the mountain roaddistant placea littlegolden lighttwinkle that the treescomplement. After a while, thisgolden lightturned into a lifting up highflag, the flagwithstood/topthatHadesto grasp the bidentbrassstatueunder the sunlightshoneis exceptionally dazzling, holdingsignwas a tallmilitary garbman, heis also throwing overcompleteanimalfur, thereforeseemedespeciallytall and strong( was actually the fur of large-scalehunting dog, hunting doghadloyalfiercemeaning, the HadesloyaldogwasthreedogscarvesearPalos, saidby the thought of Davosmodern peopleagain, did not permitbecausehand/subordinatedecoratedneeds, to hunt foranimalwantonly).
只见被树木掩映的山道远处有一点金光闪烁。过了一会儿,这点金光就变成了一杆高举的大旗,旗顶那一尊哈迪斯手持双股叉的黄铜雕像在阳光照耀下异常刺眼,持标手是一位身材高大的戎装男子,他还披着一件完整的动物毛皮,因此显得格外魁梧(其实是大型猎犬的毛皮,猎犬有忠诚勇猛之意,哈迪斯的忠犬就是三头狗刻耳帕洛斯,再说以戴弗斯现代人的思维,也不允许手下因为装饰的需要,去大肆捕猎动物)。„Ahem, attractiveisattractive.”Haswhisper that in a low voice the Samniumsoldierdoes intentionallyto disdain: „Does not know that canhit.”
“哼哼,好看是好看。”有萨莫奈战士故作不屑的低声嘀咕:“就是不知道能不能打。”Guernuthas not spoken, heis gazing atwith total concentrationto the Theoniaarmy that heapproachesslowly, he is very clear: ThisfathercontactsPentri and Caudinitwobigclans and tribes, attacksPotentiatogether, is not only becauseSyracusesubsidizesandinstigatesvigorously, isbecausesouththissuddenlyriseoppression of powerfulneighbor's.
盖尔尼没有说话,他聚精会神的注视着正向他缓缓走近的戴奥尼亚军队,他心里很清楚:这一次父亲之所以联络彭特尼、卡乌蒂尼两大部族,一起进攻波腾提亚,不仅仅是因为锡拉库扎的大力资助和怂恿,同时也是因为南方这个突然崛起的强大邻居的压迫。At this moment, hemustopen the eye, sees clearlywell, is the strangepowerful enemy who will soon be facingwhat?
此刻,他要睁大眼睛,好好看清楚,在即将面对的陌生强敌到底是什么样?Inholdingsignbehindwhatis following close onholds the standard-bearer, in the lifted up highblackhighflagsurfaceembroidersgolden„the Theoniathirdregiment” the letter, fluttersin the midairagainst the wind.

在持标手的身后紧跟着的是执旗手,高举的黑色高大旗面上绣有金黄色的“戴奥尼亚第三军团”的字母,在半空中迎风飘扬。原本它是红色旗面,那是戴弗斯受前世罗马的影响,但当他越来越融入这个时代、哈迪斯的信仰已深入到戴奥尼亚民众的心里时,考虑到哈迪斯是黑暗之主,崇尚黑色,因此他就换了军旗的颜色。Butholdsbehind of standard-bearerin the regiment, is following close onflag of firstbrigade, is lifting up highcompared with the Hadesstatuesmall 1st god of deathstatue. Again is the regimentdrumtrumpeter......
而在军团执旗手的后面,紧跟着第一大队的旗标手,高举着比冥王雕像小一号的死神雕像。再接着是军团鼓号手……Guernutrubbed the slightlyexhaustedeye: The Theoniaarmyseems like the power and prestige, butthesegaudythings were also too many.
盖尔尼揉了揉略显疲惫的眼睛:戴奥尼亚的军队看起来威风,但这些花哨的东西也太多了些。Thenhein the unstated criticism, the Theoniaregimentsoldiers who presentedis makinghimopen the eyeat heart: The Corinthtypehelmet that the blackbronzehelmetdoes not see the Greeksoldiers who wearsinCampanialikehimisentirewraps up, onlyto keeptwoeye sockets, butlooks like a backing offbowl, the entirefaceexpositionoutside, hasto protect the cheekto block the side of face, itsstyleresembleswith the helmet of Samniumsoldierunexpectedlyvery much, butwithstand/top the crownplacenot to decorate the featherorall colorsponytail. Blackflaxbreastplate, blackshinarmor, the right handholdsto puncture the spear/gun, the left handis raising the shield......
他在心里腹诽着,接下来出现的戴奥尼亚军团士兵让他睁大了眼睛:黑色的青铜头盔不像他在坎帕尼亚见到的希腊士兵所戴的科林斯式头盔是整个包住头、只留两个眼孔,而是像一个倒扣的碗,整个面部暴露在外,有护颊挡住脸的侧面,其样式竟跟萨莫奈战士的头盔很相像,只是顶冠处没有装饰羽毛或者五彩的马尾。黑色的亚麻胸甲,黑色的胫甲,右手持刺枪,左手提着盾牌……Thisshield...... Guernutdiscoveredimpressively: The shield that the Theoniasoldierholds is very unexpectedly similarto the shieldboard of theirSamniumsoldier, halfpeoplehigh, assume the rectangle, before the centerraised, inboth sidesconcave, is the shielddelivers in person the arc. What is only different, the shield of Theoniasoldierwas painted the black, rather thanred......
这盾牌……盖尔尼赫然发现:戴奥尼亚士兵所持的盾牌竟然同他们萨莫奈士兵的盾板很相似,有半人高、呈长方形,中央前凸,两侧里凹,是盾面呈弧形。唯一不同的是,戴奥尼亚士兵的盾牌都被漆成黑色,而不是红色……
Isn't TheoniaGreekscity-state? Howtheyhave not used the Greekstraditionalcircularcoppershield and Corinthhelmet, butis so similartoourSatsumathatperson?!戴奥尼亚不是希腊人的城邦吗?他们怎么没有使用希腊人传统的圆形铜盾和科林斯头盔,而跟我们萨摩那人这么相似?!SurprisedGuernutdoes not certainly know that for these yearsTheoniaarchon Davoscompletedfinallyto the renewal of regimentweaponry, abandoned the unwieldyCorinthhelmet and roundshield, changes to the new-stylehelmet and sliver of arcshield . Moreover the suchbigshieldnaturallypossiblywas not a package of copper, was only the wooden, outside the bread a boasting, caused the soldiersheavyat leastreducedtenjin (0.5 kg)mutually, the ability to actwas enhanced, brought aboutsomenewtacticalchanges.
吃惊的盖尔尼当然不知道这几年戴奥尼亚执政官戴弗斯终于完成了对军团武器装备的更新,抛弃了笨重的克林斯头盔和圆盾,改成新式头盔和长条弧形盾,而且这么大的盾牌当然不可能是包铜了,只是木质,外面包了一层牛皮,使得士兵们的互重至少减轻了十斤,行动能力得到了增强,同时也带来了一些新的战术变化。In the Theoniaarmywearson the helmetto havered, white, purpleand other topcrowns of variety, that should besidessomepeopleoccasionallyto be the teamofficersandgeneral, other is almost a black, making the entireteamlook like the blackbigsnake that drillsfrom the hell, is filling the death and cold and gloomyaura.戴奥尼亚军队中除了偶尔有人所戴头盔上有红、白、紫等花色的顶冠、那应该是队官和将领外,其他的几乎是一身黑,使得整个队伍就像是从地狱中钻出来的黑色大蛇,弥漫着死亡和森冷的气息。Guernutunconsciousattractedtwotonescontinually, will placenearbytopcrownto decorate a helmet of row of all colorsponytailto put on, lags behindto protect the cheek, the ordersaidin a low voice: „InformsAbrini on Duimianshanto be ready, when the formerarmy of enemyin the past, welaunched the attack, has a looktoenemyone that theseplay tricksfiercely.”
盖尔尼不自觉的连吸了两口气,将放在一旁的顶冠缀有一排五彩马尾的头盔戴上,拉下护颊,低声命令道:“通知对面山上的阿布里尼做好准备,等敌人的前军过去,我们就发动攻击,给这些装神弄鬼的敌人一个厉害看看。”„Yes, Leader!” The riderare rockingin the summit the redwar flag that diagrams the wolf head, the Theoniasoldier under mountainis unable to see, but the Samnitesalsorockingcolors of oppositesummitasresponse.
“是,首领!”骑手在山顶晃动着绘有狼头的红色战旗,山下的戴奥尼亚士兵是无法看到的,而对面山顶的萨莫奈人也晃动军旗作为回应。
The Samniumsoldiersare calm, are grasping the javelinandstone, crawlsawaits calmlyTheonianto pass throughfrom the mountainon the mountain ridge.萨莫奈战士们屏息静气,握着标枪、石块,匍伏在山岭上静待着戴奥尼亚人从山下穿过。Butat this moment, Theonianstopped the advance, before riding a horsegeneralrushes to the team, seems sayinganythingto the soldiers.
可就在这时,戴奥尼亚人停止了前进,一个骑马的将领赶到队伍前,似乎在对士兵们说着什么。Crossedsome little time, the teammoves forward, mayjustwalkseveralsteps, stopsagain, thatgeneralis also sayinganythingto the soldiers.
过了好一会儿,队伍又开始前行,可刚走了几步,又再一次停下,那名将领又对着士兵们说着什么。Forthreetimes, stops from time to time. Theonianalmostsoonentered the ambush area, butdilly-dalliedinthissmallsectiondistance, delayed the toomuchtime.
一连三次,走走停停。戴奥尼亚人几乎快要走进埋伏圈了,可就在这一小段距离里磨磨蹭蹭,耽搁了太多时间。Guernutthought that ownpatiencewas soon used up, heuses the handto rub the body of stiffhemp, criticizesTheonian, slow-acting.
盖尔尼觉得自己的耐心都快要被用光了,他用手揉搓着僵麻的身子,暗骂戴奥尼亚人,行动迟缓。At this moment, on the summithad the tumultsuddenly.
就在这时,山顶上突然起了骚动。„Enemycame! The enemiescame!......”Soldiersare yellingloudly.
“敌人来了!敌人来了!……”战士们大声的叫喊着。„What's the matter?!”Guernutcould not attend toambushingat this moment, quicklyaskedabout.
“怎么回事?!”盖尔尼此刻也顾不得埋伏了,急忙问左右。„Leader, Theonian...... Theoniancompelledfrom the back side of the mountain, wantedto surroundus!”Runs the guard who observes the situationto runto reporthurriedly.
“首领,戴奥尼亚人……戴奥尼亚人从后山逼过来了,想要包围我们!”跑去察看情形的护卫急匆匆的跑来汇报。Actuallydid not needhim saying that Guernuthas overlooked a pointshadow that behindin the mountainsideplaceandwoodsflashed before.
其实也不需他多说,盖尔尼已经俯瞰到背后山腰处、树林之间闪现的点点黑影。Was swindled! SlyTheonian has long known that weambushhere, attractsmyattentioninfrontintentionally, is actually thinkingmustencircle and annihilateus! Guernutflashes throughsuch a thoughtat heart, butheis not flustered, immediatelyorders saying: „Sounds the bugle! SinceTheoniandaresto climb mountains, thatmakesthemtastefierce of ourSamnites!”
上当了!狡猾的戴奥尼亚人早就知道我们在这里埋伏,故意在前面吸引我的注意,却想着要将我们包围歼灭!盖尔尼心里闪过这样一个念头,但他并不慌张,立即命令道:“吹响号角!既然戴奥尼亚人敢上山,那就让他们尝一尝我们萨莫奈人的厉害!”
The low and deeplongbugle horn soundpasses tounder the mountain, rides a horsethirdregimentlegatusAlexiusbeforeteamto raise the headto look up toimmediately.
低沉悠长的号角声传到山下,骑马走在队伍前端的第三军团军团长阿莱克西斯立刻抬头仰望。„It seems likeSamnitesdiscoveredourcircuitousarmies.”FirstbrigadechiefLitomsaidin the quitefluentGreek, sincesuffers the shameafter the isthmuscompetition, hecomes backto spendlots oftimeto exerciseoneselfGreek, had the distinctenhancement.
“看来萨莫奈人发现了我们迂回的部队。”第一大队大队长利扎鲁用比较流利的希腊语说道,自从在地峡赛会遭受羞辱之后,他回来花费大量时间锻炼自己的希腊语,有了明显的提高。„Rigaux, youdetermined that onthisboth sidesmountain ridgesonly has1000Samnites?” The regimentadjutantsrepeatedlyconfirmedtoreconnaissanceteam leaderRigaux.
“克里戈鲁,你确定这两侧的山岭上就只有1000萨莫奈人?”军团副官再次向身旁的侦察队长克里戈鲁确认道。
